Chapter 440: I'm an Impostor
Everyone agreed in unison, aimed at the swarm, and lit the flamethrower.
On the road, a large number of locusts rushed towards the flame curtain wall like moths to a fire, and then turned into a part of the flames, making the fire burn more vigorously.
No matter how determined and determined these locusts are, they are still completely unable to make up for the absolute gap in true power.
How many come, how many die!
However, as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were happily burning the locusts, out of their sight, under the ground, a pair of tentacles silently poked out of the ground.
In silence, a large number of ants emerged from under the ground and slowly crawled towards the interior of the vehicle along the shadow of the vehicle.
The first to discover this situation were the observers on the Kun-style fighters overlooking the whole situation from the sky.
Although they are thousands of meters in the air, with the help of high-definition cameras, they are still able to know the battle on the ground inside and out.
Ants are very small and can be ignored if you don't pay attention to them.
But if a large number of ants appear on the ground, it is simply not too obvious.
But the problem is that fierce fighting is going on on the ground.
The swarm of locusts flying in the air was so eye-catching, coupled with the smoke from the burning fire and the distortion of the air by the billowing heat wave, perfectly obscured the ant's marching route, so that observers above the Kun fighter did not notice the phenomenon in the first place.
By the time the observer found out about this, it was too late.
No one knows how many ants have gotten into these vehicles, what they're doing and where they're lurking.
Seeing that he was about to be attacked from the belly, the convoy commander had no choice but to divide his troops into two groups and send another group of agents to clean up the ants in the convoy.
However, this is a bit more difficult.
No sensible officer will engage the enemy on the battlefield planned by the enemy, especially not on his own turf, otherwise the broken bottles and cans will be his own belongings, and he will definitely throw a mouse.
So at the beginning, I was trapped by mosquitoes, because the battlefield was chosen by the enemy, and the human side could not exert its full strength at all.
It's so easy and easy to deal with locust swarms, because the battlefield is your own choice, and you don't have to tie your hands and feet on the road.
Now the situation has reversed again, and the ants have burrowed into the convoy, and it is the enemy's chosen battlefield again.
Flamethrowers can certainly kill the ant colony, but the problem is, are they all in the car, and the car is burned?
But if the ant colony bites off the fuel pipes, the flamethrower will have to stop firing, and the locust swarm's defenses will collapse.
The agents hurriedly returned to the convoy and had flamethrowers separate the ant colony to prevent more ants from burrowing into the car. Then get into the car and pounce on the ant colony with clothes or towels, hoping to make some difference.
After discovering their whereabouts and being discovered, the ants no longer quietly drilled into the convoy, but surged up like a tide and slapped them directly.
This time, the Kun-style fighter in the sky couldn't sit still, and hurriedly lowered the altitude again, approached the ground, and began to spray flames at the insect swarm, trying to lure the locust swarm away and let the ground troops have more manpower to deal with the ant swarm.
However, this time, the locust swarm did not pay attention to these fighters at all, and instead turned their heads and rushed in the direction of the convoy.
The mosquito swarms that had retreated before had been killed again, but this time they were no longer targeting the agents, and they were all the same armored transports.
Their purpose was obvious, and that was to occupy all those vehicles, or more precisely, the vehicles that were escorting Zhan Liu.
The battle has been going on so far, and even the shadow of the enemy has been seen, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. side has completely fallen into disadvantage.
Although the fuel is still abundant on the side of the convoy, there are too many ant colonies coming!
The number of locusts only increases during times of drought, and usually not much.
The number of mosquitoes in nature is 100 times that of locusts, but they still grow in large numbers only in dark and humid environments.
There are only ants, everywhere in the world, everywhere, everywhere, even in the desert there are a large number of ants.
The number of ants attacking this time is more than 100 times that of mosquitoes.
The commander obviously couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to call for support again, but remembered that the communicator was left in the car, so he could only wave his arm wildly at the Kun fighter in the sky, hoping that the other party would understand.
In fact, there is no need for him to prompt, the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters has been paying attention to this side, and has already found that the situation here is not good, and has sent more reinforcements over.
However, it was clear that the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents could not wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The ant colony pressed forward against the corpse, compressing the flame line step by step in the direction of the agent.
The ants that had infiltrated the convoy had also emerged from the corners, pounced on the flamethrower-wielding agents from behind, biting through their clothes, burrowing through the cracks, and biting hard.
How much does an ant bite hurt?
Very little?
How much pain can a red fire ant bite take?
The answer is, like a fire, if it is serious, it will kill people!
Normal ants bite people by spraying some formic acid and it's over, but red fire ants are different.
They will bite violently, but this is not the ultimate goal of the red fire ants, but to facilitate the injection of venom.
Red fire ants have tiny needles on their tails that are capable of repeated pricking. The needle punctures connect the venom glands, and the alkaloid venom mixed with the venom glands contains a special compound that is not fatal to humans, but can cause a strong burning sensation.
Common symptoms are blisters, burning, stinging, and even secondary infections if not properly treated, and allergies will also go into shock due to red fire ant toxin.
This pain lasts for a month, and even after the wound is completely healed, it will still leave a scab.
In the 90s of the 20th century, the red fire ant completed a full-scale invasion of the United States, and people can see the red fire ant almost anywhere.
Tens of millions of people are bitten by red fire ants in the United States every year, and people with allergies will also die of anaphylactic shock due to the bite of red fire ant toxin!
The United States has been battling red fire ants for decades, but it still has not been able to solve the problem of these little ants.
Among the ants that attacked this time, there were a large number of red fire ants.
The agents who were concentrating on the battle were so stimulated by the biotoxin of the red fire ants that they screamed, and their movements were all deformed, which seriously affected the defensive formation.
To make matters worse, almost all ants rely on magnetic fields to determine their direction.
For red fire ants, the electromagnetic field signals released by various power devices will stimulate them, which will cause them to attack wires and cables, because pheromones will be released during the attack, and then more worker ants will be attracted to attack.
Short circuits in wires, faulty transformers, damage to signal boxes, etc., are all things that red fire ants can cause.
Now the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are facing this problem.
The cold storage of the transportation exhibition six, the line was bitten off by red fire ants!
Blaring sirens sounded inside the vehicle, startling the agents outside.
When they captured Zhan Liu before, all the agents saw with their own eyes.
Moreover, the success of the arrest at that time was actually a bit of a coincidence, and if it were to be done again now, it might not be successful.
The agents defending the ant colony couldn't get out of their way, and the agents who were swooping the ants didn't care much, and hurried to check the line to repair it.
However, it is really not possible to check where the red fire ants have bitten off in a while.
After a cursory inspection and determination that it was impossible to fix it quickly, the agents fled from the car with a grimace and shook their heads at the commander, saying that there was really no way to fix it.
At this moment, the commander was like being doused with cold water on a cold day, and everyone was wooden.
He stopped for a moment on the liquid helium compression tank being transported behind the vehicle, then turned his head to look at the flame line that was being forced by the ants to retreat, and knew that he was powerless.
"Alas......" the commander sighed and resolutely ordered: "Retreat!" Now that the mission has failed, I can't leave you here again. I have to bring you back safely. ”
Under the orders of the commander, the agents who had been impetuous, for a long time, began to move to the side, giving way to the path of the swarm.
Sure enough, after these insect swarms achieved their goal, they did not chase after them at all, but surrounded the transport vehicle and defended outward.
This chaotic battle was fought without even seeing the enemy, so he was forced to retreat, and gave up the escorted aliens, which is really a nest.
But the situation was unbearable, and the commander had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that Zhan Liu had not woken up, and hurriedly took the agents on the Kun fighter plane and quickly retreated.
As for the punishment that he would have to face for failing the mission, he couldn't care about it now.
You can't know that there is a dead end, and you still stupidly stay here and continue to fight hard, right?
The Kun fighter plane landed, and the grizzled agents ran away in a hurry.
After the shadow of the fighter completely disappeared, at the end of the horizon, a vigorous figure jumped up.
When Zhan Liu regained consciousness and punched through the cold room, tearing the special alloy like a piece of paper, Natasha's sneering face came into view.
"Hehe, it's really yours!"
"Leave me out and run!"
"Think I'm a burden, huh?"
Zhan Liu stepped out of the car, looked around and left, and saw the armored car staggering, the windows of the car were covered with blood, ant colonies everywhere, burning insect corpses everywhere, and a large number of various baggage ......
This tragic battlefield environment jumped into his eyes, and Zhan Liu immediately knew what had happened.
He was saved by Natasha!
On the day Zhan Liu, he left Natasha and ran away, but he turned around and was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D., if it wasn't for Natasha rushing to the rescue, I'm afraid he would have been planted here.
This matter was something Zhan Liu did wrong, and now he was saved by Natasha, which made Zhan Liu feel very weak when facing Natasha.
But if you want to make the steel straight man Zhanliu apologize, that's impossible.
Faced with Natasha's questioning, Zhan Liu scratched his head in embarrassment and sneered:
"I was separated at the time, and I've been worried about you ever since."
He opened his arms and hugged Natasha, a smile on his face, "It's great to see you're okay!" ”
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe it?" Natasha rolled her eyes, dodged his hug sideways, and then smashed the clothes she had looted from nowhere on top of him, "Put them on first, don't swing around like an exhibitionist." ”
Only then did Zhan Liu notice that he was still in a state of nakedness, and hurriedly put the ill-fitting clothes on his body, blocking the things that were shaking on his body first.
After getting dressed, Zhan Liu coughed twice and forcibly changed the topic: "You asked a friend for help again?" Mutants? X-Men? Ask him to come out and meet him, I have to say thank you, don't I? ”
Natasha's face darkened, and she turned her head and walked towards the car in front of her, and her muffled voice came along the wind, "I don't have any friends, I did it." ”
"Huh?" Zhan Liu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the charred insect corpses, and then looked at the ant colony that automatically moved out of the way as Natasha moved forward, and was surprised, "Are you awakening your superpowers?" ”
Natasha was depressed, didn't say a word, got into the armored car, ignited the start, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight forward.
Zhan Liu hurriedly caught up with the car in three or two steps, opened the car door and sat in, looking at Natasha's gloomy face with a little thought.
"You're not Natasha, the one in S.H.I.E.L.D. is the real Natasha, right?"
Natasha drove the car with a blank face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhan Liu nodded slightly, probably understanding in his heart.
No matter which version of Black Widow is, I have never heard of superpowers, at most she is just a super serum warrior.
Since this Natasha can control bugs, she must be an impostor.
Zhan Liu's heart was originally very resistant to the fact that Black Widow was undercover by his side, but when he knew that Natasha was an impostor, this resistance disappeared.
He saw Natasha's depressed mood, so he comforted him very straightly:
"I don't care if you're Natasha or not, I just know that you saved me this time."
"From now on, we'll be friends!"
"Whether it's a good person or a bad person, I'm definitely on your side."
"Tell me, which organization are you and what is your mission?"
"Destroy the world?"
"Then let's go steal the nuclear warhead now!"
"If you don't want to be controlled by some miscellaneous organization behind you, let's join forces to destroy them!"
Natasha rolled her eyes and almost made Xiao Zhanliu rebel again.
"Won't comfort people, you can shut up!" Natasha said angrily.
Zhan Liu rubbed his nose stupidly, "Doesn't it look like you're depressed......"
