American comics: Shelter the Heavens

"Sir, what is the mission?" Liya asked in a low voice as she walked cautiously in the jungle.

"Wait a moment, I'm asking. Okay, according to the news from above, it seems that a mysterious creature is slaughtering humans. It has caused the deaths of dozens of people. You guys should be careful." Coulson's voice sounded in their earphones.

"Liya, wait a minute, turn left." Simmons suddenly shouted.

Liya also turned around obediently.

"Stop! It's the tree right in front of you. Go forward. There seem to be claw marks on the trunk." Simmons said.

Leah carefully examined the tree in front of her, and Melinda followed.

"It's here, right?" Melinda quickly found a claw mark, took a photo of it and uploaded it to Simmons.

"I have one here too. It looks like a wolf's paw print, but the problem is that a wolf's paw shouldn't be this big." Liya said to herself.

Suddenly, Melinda seemed to sense something and immediately pointed her gun at the jungle behind her and shouted, "Who is it! Come out!"

"Melinda, what's wrong?"

"I just heard some breathing behind me, but it disappeared soon after." Melinda said quickly.

Leah frowned and looked in the direction where Melinda's gun was pointed. Flames ignited in her eyes and her vision turned red. She put her hand on Melinda.

"Three o'clock direction, two meters high, shoot its legs!" Leah shouted. Melinda turned the gun almost at the same time and fired according to the data provided by Leah. Soon everyone heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The two men ran over quickly, but found that they were still too late and the unknown creature had escaped.

Looking at the bloodstains in front of her, Liya quickly put them in a transparent bag.

"Can we still find any trace of it?"

"No, it seems to be gone."

The two then returned to the transport plane with the bag and handed it over to Simmons, a biochemist.

After Simmons got the bloodstain, he immediately started to compare it with humans. It turned out that this bloodstain was not human bloodstain at all, but more like the bloodstain of a monster, and this bloodstain seemed to have a very strong sensitivity to the sun.

After a whole afternoon, Simmons finally walked out of the laboratory.

"What's up Simmons, any findings?"

"Sir, I found that this blood did not come from humans, but from a monster, and the predecessor of this monster should be human."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because although the composition of this blood is completely different from that of humans, and there is a certain energy in the blood, this energy seems to be in conflict with the sun. After being exposed to the sun, this energy will disappear and the blood will become the blood of ordinary people. After DNA comparison, I found that the owner of this blood is the sheriff of a nearby town, but this sheriff has been missing for half a month."

"Any other information?" Coulson asked, frowning.

Simmons shook his head and said, "No, unless we can get its hair or other tissues."

"Fitz, did you find anything here?"

"Yes. If this monster is afraid of sunlight, then there are a few places that are most suitable for it to hide, and they are these caves. I have used drones to check the situation, and other drones did not find anything. Only this drone was attacked, and this picture was taken after the drone was attacked."

Fitz immediately projected the picture onto the big screen and looked at the monster that was several feet tall with brown fur on its body and large red claws like chain hooks on its hands and feet.

Skye immediately said, "It's a sheep-eating beast!"

"What did you say?"

"The sheep-eating beast is a monster in Mexican legend. It is said that this monster specializes in eating sheep raised by humans, hence its name. Most importantly, it is said that this sheep-eating beast is cursed. If you are scratched by it, you will be cursed to become a sheep-eating beast. If the curse cannot be lifted within three days, you will become a new generation of sheep-eating beasts, and the original sheep-eating beast will turn back into a human."

Skye projected her computer screen onto the big screen, which contained the information she had found.

After hearing this, Coulson's brows suddenly frowned.

"How about I make a trap? Since you said it's a sheep-eating beast, I'll make a trap with a sheep."

"Sure, when can it be done?"

"It will be quick. After all, it is not a difficult task, but it requires Liya's help."

With the help of several people, a simple trap was made. Fitz used a special machine to simulate a lamb and also had the smell of a lamb.

After doing all this, the entire transport plane turned on optical stealth and now waited for the sheep-eater to enter the trap.

"Everyone, take a rest first. I have prepared an alarm device. If something is caught by the cash, it will trigger the alarm device."

After hearing this, everyone except Melinda and Coulson returned to their respective rooms. After all, they were still minors and still needed a safe environment to rest.

When the moon came out, Melinda and Coulson, who were chatting, noticed the movement outside through the camera.

"The sheep-eating beast has appeared!" Coulson stood up and said.

"Don't be impatient. Wait until he falls into the trap before taking action." Melinda stared at the screen and said in a deep voice.

At this time, the sheep-eating beast's nose kept moving, as if it smelled the scent of the lamb, and then without any accident broke into the trap prepared for him by Fitz.

Instantly, tens of thousands of volts of high voltage shocked the sheep-eating beast, causing it to howl in pain and faint. Coulson took the opportunity to transfer it to a cell in the transport plane that specifically held prisoners.

This type of cell is specially designed for people with super powers. The material of this cell can absorb kinetic energy, with a limit of thousands of tons of force. It is also fireproof and waterproof, and has a special air filter to ensure that the prisoners inside cannot harm people outside, nor can they harm themselves.

"Done, we can get a good night's sleep tonight." Coulson said with a smile.

Melinda also showed a long-lost smile, and then the two of them went to rest, leaving only the sheep-eating beast roaring continuously. At the same time, it also tried to attack the cell, but its sharp claws could not even leave the slightest mark on the wall of the cell. Until it was tired, it curled up in a corner and slowly fell asleep.
