Although most of the deserts in the United States are concentrated in a few states in the southwest, there are actually many desolate places in other states.
The United States is vast and sparsely populated, and people are social creatures. Most people are willing to concentrate in small and large towns.
This has resulted in many places in each state being uninhabited and extinct, with only rare herbaceous plants such as cacti and some wild animals thriving here.
Looking down from the sky, on the boundless desolate land, a wide road is like a crouching dragon on the ground, winding forward and dividing the entire land into two pieces. It is the only artificial work on this land. Creation proves to the world that this place still belongs to the sphere of human influence.
On the highway, a motorcade was speeding past in the distance, bringing up smoke and dust all over the sky.
In front of the convoy were several armored vehicles clearing the way. Gatling Bodhisattva was sitting on the roof of the vehicle, looking eagerly in all directions.
At the end of the convoy, there was also an armored vehicle. The multiple rocket launcher's alloy body exposed behind the vehicle shone with a light blue light under the scorching sun, making people frightened to see it.
Under the escort of two groups of convoys, the driver of the transport truck in the middle did not look relaxed at all. Instead, he looked nervous and kept scanning the sections passing by on both sides of the road with vigilant eyes, guarding against the possibility of danger at any time. An unknown enemy pops up.
They were escorting aliens, and they were evil aliens who were comparable to a weakened version of Clark Kent.
Aliens are just like cockroaches. When you find one, it means there is a nest hiding in the dark where you didn't find it.
If on the way back, an alien fleet suddenly appeared, driving high-tech fighter planes, or even space battleships, to kill them and rescue people, that would not be surprising at all. .
After all, there are probably not many such "little superman" level super soldiers even among aliens, right?
Otherwise, there is no need for the earth to resist at all, and it can just surrender!
There is no way to win!
The U.S. military is all volunteers, and the level of brainwashing is not good. Most soldiers go to the battlefield just to make ends meet. They rob when they need to, and surrender when they need to. This is absolutely unambiguous.
In the past, when information dissemination was lagging behind, it was easier to recruit soldiers to the battlefield. Now in the Internet age, everyone knows that the national interests of the United States are the interests of the capitalists, and defending the country is defending the capitalists.
Only a simple kid like Captain America is truly willing to sacrifice his life for the country.
No matter who you work for, you are not being exploited. If you had another boss, you might have less overtime hours!
Drivers with this kind of thinking are already mentally prepared to surrender immediately if the situation goes wrong.
As long as you don't die in the first wave of alien attacks, the rest will depend on the situation.
In fact, according to his idea, a transport plane should be sent directly to transport the huge cold storage behind where the aliens are frozen. It is convenient, fast and safer.
However, after careful discussion with SHIELD, it was decided to use land transportation.
After all, fighter planes in the sky can easily be shot down. And once attacked, even support will be difficult.
Although the refrigerator compartment is specially made, it will definitely not be resistant to falling if it falls from the sky.
And with Zhanliu's body being strong, he probably wouldn't die if he fell.
If the enemy directly shoots down the fighter plane, Zhan Liu may be able to resurrect with full health on the spot, and then the reinforcements will be in vain.
On the contrary, although the land transportation was a little slower, it was escorted by a convoy throughout the entire journey, and the firepower was strong enough. Even if Zhanliu came again, there would be enough liquid helium to deal with it.
And even if the enemy is too strong to stop, SHIELD's fire support can arrive quickly and maybe capture another Super Skrull too.
SHIELD's calculation was very good, but they never expected that the first attack they encountered had nothing to do with any attack method they imagined.
The moving convoy suddenly felt that the sky outside was darkening, and the scorching sun seemed to be blocked by dark clouds.
The scout in front poked his head out of the observation window on the armored vehicle, glanced upward, then his pupils suddenly shrank, he quickly retracted his head, closed the observation window, bolted it, and at the same time shouted miserably. Get up: "Enemy attack..."
His alarm was no longer needed. The overwhelming mosquitoes had already swooped down, tightly covering the outer walls of all vehicles, and desperately worming their way into the cars through all the gaps they could enter.
The view in front of the vehicle was completely blocked by mosquitoes, and then the windshield wipers that automatically turned on were messed up, leaving a pile of bright red minced meat on the window.
The driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and amid the piercing screams of the tires and the road, the vehicles rear-ended each other.
The driver was horrified. The back of this transport truck was carrying an alien's freezer. If the insulation layer leaked and the alien escaped, it would not be easy to capture him again.
He hurriedly glanced at the alarm device on the modified vehicle console. Fortunately, all the indicators were green.
He let out a long breath, then turned his head to pay attention to the dense mosquitoes outside the window.
There are not only all kinds of mosquitoes here, but also some other flying insects mixed in, fluttering on the window glass, opening and closing their mouthparts, and infiltrating people just by looking at them.
These mosquitoes were like crazy, regardless of their own instinct of life, they desperately hit the bulletproof glass, even if they smashed their bodies into pieces.
And there must be a large number of mosquitoes looking for flaws in the vehicle in places that are difficult for him to see.
The people in the car panicked, blocking all the holes that could communicate with the outside world, and started calling for backup.
SHIELD is always paying attention to the progress of the convoy, and if there is a problem, it can immediately send Quinjet fighters to support.
As for the SHIELD agents trapped here, all they need to do is hold on for more than ten minutes.
Under the suicidal attack of a large number of mosquitoes, within a short period of time, mosquitoes had already gotten into the vehicle.
After all, it is impossible for a vehicle to be connected to the outside world, and a ventilation system is a must for any vehicle, especially in such hot weather. Without air conditioning, it will be too hot to death.
However, these functions that exist for humanization have now become fatal safety hazards.
A few mosquitoes alone cannot pose a threat to people in the car, but as long as one mosquito gets in, most of them will follow immediately.
The people in the car screamed, took off their clothes, blocked the ventilating air-conditioning fan grille, and then waved their hands to kill the mosquitoes that had sneaked into the car and sucked their blood.
These mosquitoes did not hide away, and let them swat at them. They would rather die than insist on taking one last bite from them.
SHIELD agents, who would not frown in the face of a hail of bullets, were all frightened in front of this tiny and crazy bug!
Ren is such a strong warrior, but in this situation, he will also become a trypophobia patient.
For the soldiers, they had seen many deaths in battle, so they were mentally prepared for this and did not have much fear in their hearts. Maybe people will go to heaven without even feeling the pain. But being sucked by a mosquito and being fucked by a human being is a way of death that is really unacceptable.
Although the sneaking mosquitoes were temporarily blocked, the fundamental problem was not solved.
As long as the mosquitoes outside are not eliminated or dispersed, sooner or later they will end up turning into mummies.
There was a dead silence in the car, and everyone looked around nervously, fearing that new mosquitoes would appear somewhere.
I don't know if the ventilation system is blocked. The agents in the car feel that it is getting more and more difficult to breathe and their heartbeats are getting faster and faster.
The sound of banging against the glass outside the car was like a death horn, hitting everyone's hearts hard.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, the driver finally couldn't bear it any longer. He twisted the key and began to try to ignite the engine, restart the vehicle, and escape.
However, after the motor hummed a few times, there was no response. It was obvious that mosquitoes had damaged the transmission line or interfered with the rotation of the motor.
The chain reaction caused by the driver made the commander of the team anxious. He couldn't help but pick up the pager again and began to call SHIELD headquarters angrily.
"The convoy is calling headquarters, the convoy is calling headquarters, support is in the fucking dead end?"
"This is the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Support is on the way and is expected to arrive at your location in one minute. The fighter planes will carry out high-temperature flame insecticides, please take precautions."
"Great, we're finally here..." Everyone just relaxed, and then suddenly realized the potential danger, "High temperature insecticide?"
The commander hurriedly grabbed the communicator and yelled: "You are crazy! We are in a closed environment! Do you want us to suffocate to death?"
Although Americans often shoot someone to prevent them from committing suicide, no one wants to be the "rescued person" themselves.
"According to the intelligence from the headquarters, all vehicles are equipped with oxygen masks. The amount of oxygen inside is enough for you to persist until the flames are extinguished. After that, you can get out of the car and breathe."
"Damn it! Then have you considered the shock, fainting, etc. that may be caused by the high temperature?" the commander shouted angrily.
"Time is urgent, and the support personnel can only do this step. This is already the execution plan with the least casualties. You can't expect too much. As for the possible dangers, everyone, please pray to God." The liaison officer said coldly He was completely emotionless and hung up the communication.
The commander was so angry that he slammed the communicator on the console, but there was nothing he could do.
The arms cannot twist the thighs. They are trapped now. No matter what the support team does, they can only suffer.
A few people hurriedly put on their oxygen masks, and the roar of the plane had already arrived.
Trapped in the car, they didn't know what the situation was like outside. They only heard the whistling sound of artillery shells, and then a red light appeared in their field of vision. They felt the heat wave rolling in, penetrating into the car through the thick mosquito corpses. .
The support personnel should use ordinary incendiary bombs, the temperature is not too high, it will not cause much damage to the specially-made armored vehicle, and there is no need to worry about the alien cryogenic capsule carried behind the vehicle being damaged.
The only fragile thing is whether the human body in the car can hold it.
Perhaps the fire finally aroused the fear of flames in the mosquitoes' hearts, and the mosquito swarm finally retreated.
In order to ensure safety, the Quinjets did not return. Instead, they hovered over the convoy and waited patiently until the flames extinguished.
The shocked agents carefully opened the door, got out of the armored vehicle, looked at the scorched and smelly insect corpses on the ground, took off their oxygen masks, and cheered.
Although it is said that one is not afraid of life and death, who can truly face death calmly?
Being able to survive a catastrophe is certainly something worth celebrating.
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, the Quinjet landed on the road. Medical staff filed out of the fighter plane and began to rescue people.
Most of the people were not injured. Only a few guys were not careful enough. When the mosquitoes appeared, they did not close the car windows in time. They were sucked too much blood by the mosquitoes and had some symptoms of anemia.
There were also some unlucky ones who were fainted by the heat in the previous fire, and now they happened to be flying back early on Quinjet aircraft, which was a blessing in disguise.
Everyone watched the Quinjet take off and return home, and they were about to pack up and get back on the road. However, they saw a cloud of insects suddenly rolled up from the distance and crashed into the Quinjet that had just taken off.
Right in front of everyone's eyes, several fighter planes that had been so majestic just now fell into the same predicament that the convoy was in before.
However, it was obvious that the S.H.I.E.L.D. fighter planes were prepared when they came here, so several tubes protruded from the sides of the fighter planes, and blazing flames spurted out from the inside, burning the new insect swarms to pieces and falling to the ground one after another. .
This time, the swarm of insects was no longer the mosquitoes just now, but changed into locusts.
Locusts can fly much better than mosquitoes.
Normal mosquitoes can only fly up to about 300 meters, but locusts can fly up to 1,000 to 1,500 meters.
The mosquito army just now was powerless against the Quinjet, but this group of locusts could pose a threat to the fighter.
However, bugs are just bugs after all. Compared with human technological creations, the difference is too far. As long as the fighter planes continue to rise higher, they can get rid of the locust swarms.
However, once the Quinjet is elevated, the Locust swarm will definitely descend downward to attack the convoy on the ground.
Therefore, the Quinjet can only continue to hold on and give the ground troops time to prepare.
The convoy on the ground is loaded with a large number of various weapons. These are prepared to deal with the Super Skrulls that may attack, and their power is based on the capture of Zhan Liu.
It's just that the mosquito swarm came too suddenly and caught the convoy off guard. Otherwise, as long as they were prepared to fight, the previous insect swarm would have been unable to do anything to this convoy.
The ground troops, who had been depressed for a long time after being attacked by the swarm of insects, finally had a chance to vent their anger.
The commander gave the order, and everyone put on fully enclosed fire-proof suits, then connected the flamethrowers, ready to go, aimed at the locust swarms in the sky, and prepared to fight.
Seeing that the ground troops were ready, the Quinjet circled and soared into the sky, completely wiping out the locust swarm.
After losing their target, the locust swarm aimed at the ground troops below.
The commander laughed, raised the injector in his hand, and shouted:
"Brothers, let these bugs see who is the overlord of this planet!"
