The Devil Comes to the United States

Chapter 199
"Hey, wake up! Wake up! Igor! Ce Zhao!" The soldier in the S.H.I.E.L.D. special operations team uniform slapped his companion on the face.

Igor woke up slowly, and after spitting out a few mouthfuls of wind and sand, he did not forget to complain:
"Cough~cough~Marcus, how many times have I told you that the first and last names in Chinese are reversed. Cough~cough~"

Marcus was relieved when he saw Igor wake up, and then turned his head to look to the other side:
"John, what about the others?"

Chinese Igor Zhao instinctively turned his head to look to the other side, but saw John squatting next to the two robes and shaking his head,

"Unfortunately, Sam and George are gone."

Igor, who was depressed, sighed, and gripped his fingers tightly into the sand.Suddenly, Igor grabbed the sand and watched it slip through the gap, not daring to say anything:

"What the hell? Where are we?"

Marcus raised his finger to the gray-blue sky and the huge moon, and laughed at himself:

"I'm pretty sure we're not on Earth anymore."

"Oh, I bought it!"

Marcus pulled up Igor who was lying on the ground, and said:
"On the left, there is an endless desert, and on the right, there are some rocks. I think the chances of survival are higher if you go to the right. What do you think?"

"I agree, but should we bury them before leaving?" Igor Zhao and Sam have always had a good relationship.

John shook his head calmly:

"Sorry, Zhao, we all have injuries, and we don't have the energy to see them off. Take away their equipment and let the wind and sand bury them."

Both Igor and Marcus knew that John was telling the truth, so they could only mourn and see off the two companions. John took the weapons and equipment from them and headed to the right first.

However, what Igor and others didn't know was that the wind and sand hadn't buried the bodies of the two compatriots, and an undead in shabby ancient clothes had already walked to the corpses first.

Ha~ha~heh~heh~
The undead knelt beside George, gasping for breath, and there were a few strange and ugly laughter from time to time.

puff~
Transparent slime sprayed from the decayed and shriveled face of the undead onto George.

With a bang, the undead fell on George like losing its support, and the transparent mucus squirmed into George's mouth and nose, and penetrated into the pores.

George's corpse twisted unnaturally, then slowly opened his eyes, pushed away the rotting mummy, crawled towards Sam, and murmured:
"Sam, Igor, Marcus, John, S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm so hungry~"

Gemma and the other two researchers on the other side of the desert gradually calmed down after the initial panic.

"Well, this is the planet on the other side of the teleportation stone recorded in the file. Now let's think about it calmly, what should we do next?" The oldest researcher calmed down the emotions of the other two.

Gemma covered her nose and mouth and pointed to the sand dunes and said:
"Our positioning methods are all useless here, we can only go to a high place to see the situation."

A young researcher named Bob volunteered to climb up the sand dune. Standing on the sand dune and looking into the distance, Bob suddenly cried out in surprise:

"Water! Water! Right here!"

After Bob finished speaking, he ran towards the puddle without waiting for Gemma and the old researcher to reply.Gemma and the old researcher looked at each other helplessly, and could only walk to the dunes and start climbing.

When the two of them struggled up the sand dune and ran towards the water hole, Bob was beating the water surface with a dead stick,

"Hey! The water is clean! No big creatures here either! Come on!"

The cautious Bob did nothing wrong, but he made a fatal mistake.Bob only pays attention to whether there are large creatures in the water, but ignores the danger at his feet.

A milky white vine slowly protruded from the edge of the puddle. When Bob's left foot waded into the water, the vine jumped out of the water and wrapped around Bob's left foot, pulling him into the water.

After Bob jumped in the water twice, there was no movement, and only one hand was left slowly sinking into the water.Gemma and the old researcher were frightened, and they dared not take a step too far from the puddle.

"Is that a vine?" Jemma's lips trembled, her teeth chattering.

The old researcher pushed the cracked glasses and said:
"It looks like a carnivorous aquatic vine, but it may also be a giant worm."

Just when Gemma and the old researcher were at a loss and stood still, there were a few shouts from a distance,

"Hey~hey~"

Igor, Marcus, and John ran towards the puddle from another direction. When they saw Gemma and the old researcher, they changed their course and shouted loudly.

Gemma thought that the three men in S.H.I.E.L.D. combat uniforms were members of the rescue force, but she didn't expect that they were the soldiers of the action team who were unfortunately involved in the castle.

After the two sides communicated for a while, Marcus pointed to the puddle and said:
"If we don't get rid of this little snake, we won't be able to drink water, right?"

"It looks like it is." Igor took the lead in pulling out the tactical dagger.

Then Marcus and Igor stepped into the water together, and John was ready to support with a gun.

puff~
wow~
"I got it!"

In the splashing water, Marcus grabbed the vine, and Igor took the opportunity to touch the water, and stabbed at the root of the vine.

The unintelligent alien "Little Snake" had to suffer death obediently when he met two commando soldiers with outstretched hands, and the sharpshooter John had no chance to make a move.

That night, the five people in distress sat around a small fire, ate alien roasted vines, drank muddy water, looked at the starry sky different from the earth, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Whether you can survive tomorrow or not, at least you should have a good night's rest now.

The footprints left by the three of Igor's trek in the desert have long been buried by the wind and sand, but the unique smell of creatures still lingers in the air.The corpse of Sam possessed by the hive is following the scent of Igor and the three, getting closer.

In the Malik Manor, Gideon was a little irritable:

"We have to act now. It would be better if the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. are dead, but it would be bad if those idiots from S.H.I.E.L.D. bring back the hive."

Stephanie didn't want to let it go, she leaned against Zed's body and whispered:

"It's up to you, Zed."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and get ready, and then I'll go right away." Zed didn't want the hive to come out either.

Gideon watched the golden portal disappear, then asked Stephanie:

"Are you sure you can catch him?"

"No, but I don't need to catch him either. He has already regarded me as his personal property, and will not allow anyone to hurt me." Stephanie also understands.

Gideon nodded:
"Well, you decide the scale yourself."
