The Devil Comes to the United States

Chapter 200 Survival
"Even if there is water here, we have to leave." John took out all the water containers on his body and walked towards the puddle.

After Igor and Marcus glanced at each other, they looked at the old researcher and Gemma:
"We've run out of food, and if we don't get out of this desert, we'll all starve to death."

Neither Gemma nor the old researcher can survive alone in the desert, so they can only choose to obey the command, follow the footsteps of the action team, and seek the glimmer of life.

A group of five trekked on the sandy ground, and every step was extremely difficult.The old researcher's physical fitness was the worst, and he fell to the ground panting before an hour passed.

"I can't. I really can't walk anymore." The old researcher shook his head in a daze.

Gemma squatted aside to check his physical condition:

"Let's take a break. Otherwise, he really won't be able to get out of this desert."

"I'm afraid we can't do it." Igor looked into the distance and pointed, "A sandstorm is coming."

"It shouldn't be too dangerous for us to speed up now, but it's hard to say if it's later." Marcus calculated the scale and speed of the sandstorm based on experience.

The calmest John made it clear:

"Staying here is waiting to die, and taking him is the same. You have to make a choice, go or stay."

After the words fell, John trotted forward on his own, while Igor and Marcus extended a helping hand to Gemma:

"Come on, Miss Gemma. There's still time!"

The old researcher regained some strength and took Gemma's hand:

"Come on, Gemma, leave old White and me alone. Live on and don't forget Bob and me."

Marcus picked up Gemma who was still wiping tears, and chased after John. Igor took a deep look, nodded and turned around.

Old White turned his head sideways and watched the four of them drifting away, calmly waiting for the end of his life. The whistling wind and sand behind him gradually became louder, but what surprised Old White was that the sound of the wind seemed to be mixed with the sound of footsteps.

After the curious old White turned his head, he saw an unknown S.H.I.E.L.D. action team member standing behind him,

"you are?"

Honeycomb ignored Old White's question and said to himself:
"Hmph~ old man, you are the most unhealthy."

"Ok?"

Before Old White could react, the hive immediately reached out and held his mouth and nose, and the transparent mucus immediately penetrated into Old White's body and "swallowed it whole".

After filling the belly, the hive stepped over Old White's body and chased after Gemma and his party, leaving only a mummy that was about to be buried by the oncoming sandstorm.

But the hive didn't notice that the old White, who was eaten alive, still had the last trace of his soul that refused to dissipate, and was staring at his back.

When the last hand of Old White's body remained unburied, the golden space door slowly opened in the sandstorm, and Zed, who was wearing ordinary protective clothing, came out.

Zed looked at the only index finger raised by the corpse, and murmured:
"Before dying, did you leave a direction for me? Although I don't know who you are, I will avenge you."

As if hearing Zed's words, a gust of wind and sand buried Old White's right hand in the rolling yellow sand.Zed raised his head and quickly followed the direction left by Old White.

It didn't take long for Gemma and her team to run at the front and were caught up by the sandstorm. Fortunately, they ran earlier and the sandstorm outside was not particularly large.

A group of four covered their mouths and noses to block the wind and sand, and trudged through the sandstorm with difficulty, shouting a few words from time to time to make sure that their companions were not lost.In fact, not only did the companions not lose, but two more.

John raised the muzzle of the M4, pointed at the figure ahead and shouted:

"who are you?"

Igor turned his back and tried to see who was chasing after him, because Igor always felt that the clothes were familiar.

The person who came shook his body, took a step forward, and then fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Help. Help."

Only then did Igor realize that it was his good friend Sam, and immediately let go of his guard and ran towards Sam, trying to help him up.

In the process of running towards Sam, Igor couldn't help shouting:
"Sam! Sam! I'm so glad to see you again! I'm glad you're not dead!"

Igor's shout did not elicit a response from Sam, but instead stimulated another person in front of the team. He shouted:

"Stay away from him! He's not the same person!"

The wind and sand suddenly became smaller, exposing this open space.Only then did Gemma and the others see clearly that the person standing at the front of the line was a man in a worn-out space suit, and at the end of the line was Sam, a member of the action team.

"What do you mean? Not the original person?" Igor seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he had already helped Sam up.

Sam showed a piercing smile, then stretched out his left hand and pressed Igor's face.A large amount of transparent mucus poured into Igor's mouth and nose, and Igor, who lost his resistance in an instant, was easily pressed to the ground by the hive.

"Bastard!"

"Go to hell! Monsters!"

John and Marcus raised their guns and fired a crazy meal at Sam, but the bullets fired had no effect on the hive.

The hive showed a ferocious smile to everyone, and then concentrated on enjoying the delicious meal.

Astronaut Will turns and runs and shouts:
"Run! Leave him alone!"

Marcus and John, who had nothing to do, could only drag the panicked Jemma to catch up with Will.After running desperately for an unknown amount of time, Will gradually stopped.

"What the hell is that?" John raised the M4 and forced Will to answer his own question.

Will ignored the black muzzle of the gun, swept away the yellow sand on the ground, and opened the cellar entrance.

"Come in first, it's dangerous outside."

After John and Marcus looked at each other, they stepped into the cellar one after another while protecting Gemma.John climbed the stairs and listened to the movement outside, and Marcus looked at Will:

"Dude, you better explain it to us."

Will sat down on the kang, opened the kettle, took a sip cautiously, and said:

"I am the only survivor of the astronauts who participated in the alien exploration program in 2001.

The one just now was a demon on this planet. He feeds on life and takes the body of the dead.

He will tease his prey like a cat scratching a mouse, you have been targeted. "

"Have you lived here alone for more than ten years?" Gemma was beyond shocked.

Wil shook his head dully:
"I don't know how many years have passed. Time has no meaning here."

Igor in the desert pushed away the bloody Sam, stood up slowly, and looked at the lone figure in the distance.
