Chapter 667 Why did saber-toothed tigers appear in the Cretaceous period?
After the collapse of the Third Reich, the fact that Hitler's body was never found has made the topic of "Hitler may not be dead" a hot topic of conspiracy theories. Among the most widely circulated speculations are "the Third Reich's secret Antarctic base" and "the Third Reich's secret lunar base".
On Earth 616, while Mustache was indeed dead, Hydra was not. Just like the underground city of Budapest, Hydra discovered a closed ecosystem in Antarctica, the kind that appeared in Journey to the Center of the Earth. This vast area was unaffected by the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, and could theoretically be completely sealed off with just a little technology and magic.
Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the Third Reich's secret Antarctic base truly existed.
"So, nothing has changed here since the meteorite hit the ground?"
Peter led Katie to the top of a tree, where they looked at the tall, long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs in the distance: "But aren't they a bit, uh, too short?"
How tall do you think dinosaurs should have been?
"Thirty or forty meters?"
Thirty or forty meters tall? That wouldn't be a dinosaur anymore, it'd be Godzilla! Peter muttered to himself, but he also agreed with Katie's assessment: the Savage Continent did indeed have many dinosaurs, but these dinosaurs were much smaller than those commonly known. For example, Peter saw a dinosaur that might be a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was only a little over three meters tall, about half the height of the huge skeletons in the museum.
This is the largest dinosaur Peter has ever seen.
"Hydra's secret base is right here, completely isolated from technological signals and also avoiding magical teleportation except for Norn Stones—it seems that Hydra's magic department is much more powerful than I thought."
As Peter spoke, he looked towards the massive Hydra Mountain in the distance: "And it seems that if we don't remove the barrier, we probably won't be able to get out."
The purpose of dismantling the magical barrier set up by Hydra, or finding the Norn Stone, is not to escape. Such a great opportunity to eliminate a Hydra branch, or even an important one, is to open a breach and then bring the Avengers in for a fight!
I thought we were just catching a street gangster from the Hand, but it turns out we've stirred up Hydra's lair!
“We need to find a way to get over here, preferably without being detected by any Hydra surveillance equipment or personnel—they certainly won’t know we’re here anytime soon.”
Peter noticed the hushed conversation around him, then looked at Katie with anticipation: "Could you take me directly into their base? Through the underground?"
Katie looked at the massive Hydra Mountain, which was dozens of kilometers away, and said with a troubled expression, "Although I can move underground, I still need to breathe. In general, I have to hold my breath in this situation—a minute or two is fine, but beyond this distance, if I lack oxygen, my ability will probably stop on its own."
Katie will probably get stuck in the ground and won't be able to get out.
Peter wasn't discouraged after hearing this: "While I can get there using my suit and invisibility, I can't just leave you here..."
"How about we knock out two Hydra soldiers and go in disguise?" "Good idea, but there are many problems. For example, are their equipment always equipped with cameras? Do they have internal codes? And why haven't we seen any Hydra personnel after being here for so long...?"
Peter said things that discouraged Katie, but then stopped because he actually saw a person, or more accurately, a savage. He looked exactly like Peter and the others, but he was dressed like a primitive man. Beside him was a saber-toothed tiger that looked neither modern nor Cretaceous. He was wielding a spear and attacking a dinosaur that was about the size of an elephant but looked like a Brontosaurus.
Peter vaguely recognized the character because he remembered that this person was one of the initial card characters given away in a Marvel card game, what was his name again... Kazal?
Katie exclaimed "Wow!" and then tilted her head in confusion: "I remember there were neither hominids nor saber-toothed tigers in the Cretaceous period, right?"
"Then it's obvious that they are not native to this place. It's unlikely that Hydra would kindly settle some primitive tribe here. They might be experimental products, or their very existence might be an experiment."
Looking at the primitive people who appeared before him, Peter did not have any expectations about their existence. Of course, from this perspective, they might not be bad people, and they might even be allies who could be won over. However, if they really needed to recruit these primitive warriors to join the battle, it would mean that the situation they were facing was far too extreme.
They watched as the burly caveman warrior took down the smaller Thunder Dragon, then single-handedly carried it back. Peter now had a new appreciation for the strength of this Marvel version of Tarzan, and he narrowed his eyes.
"If these primitive people were deployed by Hydra, then there must be Hydra agents monitoring them. If we follow them, we might be able to find a way into Hydra's base."

Meanwhile, somewhere on the desolate continent.
"Hooray! That son of a bitch Kovac changed my face back! But I'm out of prison! By the way, where am I again?"
A red mercenary, who had finally been released from a mansion prison, ran out excitedly, intending to use his teleportation belt to travel around. However, his teleportation belt malfunctioned, and he ended up on this unfamiliar continent.
Wade Wilson looked around and confirmed one thing: he had probably traveled to the Cretaceous period.
"Okay, I guess Spielberg's biggest contribution was making a Jurassic Park movie where a bunch of dinosaurs weren't actually from the Jurassic period, introducing me to these monsters. By the way, aren't these dinosaurs a bit too small...?"
Deadpool walked on, puzzled. He saw a fire in the distance, so he squinted and walked over. He saw a tribe of primitive people in the distance, holding some kind of sacrificial ceremony, and on the altar was a head.
"Hmm... a handsome... zombie head that belongs to me, Wade Wilson?"
