The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 445 I am the Fake
Everyone responded in unison, aiming their flamethrowers at the swarm of insects and igniting their flamethrowers.

On the highway, a large number of locusts rushed towards the flame curtain like moths to a flame, and then turned into part of the flame, making the fire burn even more vigorously.

No matter how fearless and resolute these locusts are, they are still unable to make up for the absolute gap in real strength.

No matter how many come, they will die!
However, while the SHIELD agents were happily burning the locusts, out of their sight, beneath the ground, pairs of tentacles silently emerged from the ground.

Silently, a large number of ants crawled out from the ground and slowly crawled into the car along the shadow of the vehicle.

The first people to discover this situation were the observers on the Quinjet who were overlooking the situation from the sky.

Although they were thousands of meters high in the air, with the help of high-definition cameras, they could still see the battle on the ground clearly.

Ants are very small and can be easily overlooked if you are not careful.

But if a large number of ants appear on the ground, it would be too obvious.

But the problem is that there is a fierce battle going on on the ground.

The swarms of locusts flying in the air were so eye-catching. Coupled with the thick smoke caused by the burning fire and the distortion of the air by the rolling heat waves, they perfectly concealed the marching route of the ants, preventing the observers on the Quinjet from noticing this phenomenon at the first time.

By the time the observers discovered all this, it was already too late.

No one knows how many ants have entered these vehicles, what they have done inside, and where they are lurking.

Seeing that they were about to be attacked from both sides, the convoy commander had to split his forces into two groups and send another group of agents to clean up the ants in the convoy.

However, this matter is more difficult to handle.

Any rational officer would not fight the enemy on a battlefield planned by the enemy, especially not on his own territory, otherwise the bottles and jars broken would be his own things, and he would definitely be afraid to act rashly.

So the reason why we were trapped by mosquitoes in the beginning was because the battlefield was chosen by the enemy, and the human side was simply unable to exert its full strength.

Dealing with a swarm of locusts is so easy and simple because the battlefield is chosen by our side. It is on the road and we are not restricted.

Now the situation has reversed again. The ants have crawled into the convoy, which is the battlefield chosen by the enemy.

A flamethrower can definitely kill the ants, but the problem is that they are all inside the car. Why not burn the car as well?

But we can't just ignore it. What if the ants bite the fuel pipeline and damage it? The flamethrowers will have to stop firing, and the locust swarm's defense will collapse.

The agents returned to the convoy anxiously and sent someone with a flamethrower to separate the ants to prevent more ants from getting into the car. Then they entered the car and beat the ants with clothes or towels, hoping that it would have some effect.

After realizing their whereabouts had been discovered, the ants no longer sneaked into the convoy, but surged forward like a tide and rushed forward directly.

This time, the Quinjet in the sky could no longer sit still, and hurriedly lowered its altitude again, approaching the ground, and began to spray flames at the swarm of insects, trying to lead the locust swarm away so that the ground troops would have more manpower to deal with the ant swarm.

However, this time the locust swarm ignored the fighter planes and turned around and rushed towards the convoy.

The swarms of mosquitoes that had retreated before came back again, but this time their target was no longer the agents, but the armored transport vehicles.

Their purpose was very clear, which was to occupy all those vehicles, or to be more precise, to occupy the vehicle that was escorting Zhan Liu.

At this point in the battle, even the shadow of the enemy has not been seen, and SHIELD has been completely at a disadvantage.

Although the convoy still has enough fuel, there are too many ants coming!

The number of locusts only increases during droughts, and there are not many at other times.

The number of mosquitoes in nature is a hundred times that of locusts, but they can only grow in large numbers in dark and humid environments.

Only ants are everywhere in the world, everywhere, even in the desert there are huge numbers of ants.

The number of ants that attacked this time was more than a hundred times that of mosquitoes.

The commander was obviously unable to bear it anymore and wanted to call for support again, but he remembered that his communicator was left in the car. He could only wave his arms frantically towards the Quinjet in the sky, hoping that the other party would understand.

In fact, there was no need for him to remind them. The SHIELD headquarters had been paying attention to this place. They had already discovered that the situation here was not good and sent more reinforcements.

However, it was obvious that these SHIELD agents could not wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The ants relied on the corpses to push forward, compressing the fire line step by step towards the agent.

The ants that had sneaked into the convoy also came out from the corners and pounced on the agents wielding flamethrowers from behind, biting through their clothes, crawling in through the gaps, and biting them hard.

How painful is an ant bite?
Very small?

How painful is a bite from a red fire ant?
The answer is, like a fire, if it is serious, it can be fatal!
For normal ants, when they bite people, you just need to spray some formic acid and that’s it, but it’s different with red fire ants.

They will bite violently, but this is not the ultimate purpose of the red fire ants, but to facilitate the injection of venom.

The tail of the red fire ant has a tiny sting that can sting repeatedly. The sting is connected to the poison gland, and the alkaloid venom mixed with the poison gland contains a special compound. For humans, the dose of red fire ants is not fatal, but it will cause a strong burning sensation.

Common symptoms include blisters, burning sensation, and stinging. Improper treatment may even lead to secondary infection. People with allergic constitution may go into shock due to the red fire ant toxin.

The pain will last for a month, and even after the wound has completely healed, a scab will remain.

In the 20s, red fire ants completed their full invasion of the United States, and people could see red fire ants almost everywhere.

Every year, tens of millions of people are bitten by red fire ants in the United States. People with allergies may even suffer anaphylactic shock and die from the bites of red fire ants' toxins!
The United States has been fighting the red fire ants for decades, but still has not been able to solve the problem of these tiny ants.

Among the ants that attacked this time, there were a large number of red fire ants.

Those agents who were concentrating on the battle were irritated by the biological toxins of the red fire ants and screamed loudly. Their movements became deformed, which seriously affected their defensive formation.

To make matters worse, almost all ants rely on magnetic fields to determine direction.

For red fire ants, the electromagnetic field signals released by various electrical equipment will stimulate them, which will cause them to attack wires and cables. Since pheromones are released during the attack, more worker ants will be attracted to attack.

Short circuits in electrical wires, transformer failures, and damage to signal boxes are all examples of damage that red fire ants can cause.

Now the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are facing this problem.

The lines of the cold storage at the Transport Exhibition 6 were bitten off by red fire ants!

The shrill alarm sounded inside the vehicle, frightening the agents outside. All the agents had seen with their own eyes how difficult it was to capture Zhan Liu.

Moreover, the successful arrest at that time was actually somewhat of a coincidence. If it were to happen again now, it might not be successful.

The agents who were defending the ant colony were unable to get away, while those who were swatting the ants did not care about much else and hurried to check the lines and try to repair them.

However, it is difficult to check exactly where the red fire ants have bitten off in a short period of time.

After a cursory inspection and determining that it was impossible to repair it quickly, the agents fled from the car with pale faces and shook their heads at the commander, indicating that it was really impossible to repair it.

The commander felt as if he had been poured with cold water in the coldest days of winter. He was completely numb.

He paused for a moment at the liquid helium compression tank being transported behind the vehicle, then turned to look at the fire line that was being forced to retreat by the ants, knowing that it was too late to save the situation.

"Alas..." The commander sighed and resolutely ordered: "Retreat! Since the mission has failed, I can't just leave you here. I have to bring you back safely."

Under the commander's order, the agents, who had long been restless, began to move to the side, clearing the swarm's route.

Sure enough, after achieving their goal, the swarms of insects did not chase after us, but instead surrounded the transport vehicle and defended themselves from the outside.

In such a chaotic battle, they were forced to retreat without even seeing the enemy, and handed over the escorting aliens to themselves. It was really cowardly.

But the situation was beyond their control, and the commander was helpless. He had to take the agents onto the Quinjet and retreat quickly before Zhan Liu woke up.

As for the punishment he would face if the mission failed, he couldn't care less about it now.

You can't just stay here and keep fighting knowing that you're going to die, right?

The Quinjet landed and hurried away with the dusty agents on board.

After the shadow of the fighter plane completely disappeared, a nimble figure leaped over from the end of the horizon.

When Zhan Liu regained consciousness, he punched through the cold storage room and tore the special alloy into pieces like paper. What came into view was Natasha's sneering face.

"Haha, you are amazing!"

"He left me behind and ran away!"

"You think I'm a burden, don't you?"

Zhan Liu stepped out of the car and looked around. He saw the armored vehicles leaning to one side and the other, with blood stains all over the windows, swarms of ants everywhere, burning insect corpses everywhere, and a large amount of various supplies that had not been transported away in time...

When Zhan Liu saw the tragic battlefield environment, he immediately knew what had happened.

He was saved by Natasha!
On that day, Zhan Liu abandoned Natasha and ran away, only to be caught by SHIELD. If Natasha hadn't come to rescue him, he would probably have been killed.

Zhan Liu was wrong in this matter, and now he was rescued by Natasha, which made Zhan Liu feel particularly guilty when facing Natasha.

But it is impossible to ask the straight man Zhan Liu to apologize.

Facing Natasha's question, Zhan Liu scratched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile:

"We got separated at that time, and I have been worried about you ever since."

He opened his arms and hugged Natasha with a smile on his face, "I'm so glad to see that you're okay!"

"Huh, do you think I will believe it?" Natasha rolled her eyes, dodged his hug, and threw the clothes she had found from somewhere at him, "Put on your clothes first, and don't walk around like an exhibitionist."

Zhan Liu then noticed that he was still naked, and hurriedly put on the ill-fitting clothes to cover up the things that were shaking around on his body.

After putting on his clothes, Zhan Liu coughed twice and forced himself to change the subject: "You asked your friends for help again? Mutants? X-Men? Ask them to come out and meet me. I have to express my gratitude, right?"

Natasha's face darkened, and she turned and walked towards the vehicle in front. A muffled voice came along with the wind, "I don't have any friends. I did it."

"Eh?" Zhan Liu was startled. He turned his head to look at the burnt insect corpses, then looked at the ants that automatically made way for Natasha as she moved forward. He was extremely surprised. "Have you awakened your superpowers?"

Natasha was in a low mood. Without saying a word, she got on the armored vehicle, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight forward.

Zhan Liu hurriedly caught up with the car, opened the door and got in, looking at Natasha's gloomy face thoughtfully.

"You are not Natasha. The one in SHIELD is the real Natasha, right?"

Natasha drove the car with an expressionless face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Zhan Liu nodded slightly, and roughly understood in his heart.

No matter which version of Black Widow, I have never heard of her having super powers. At most, she is just a super serum warrior.

Since this Natasha can control insects, she must be a fake.

Zhan Liu was originally very resistant to the fact that Black Widow was undercover around him, but when he found out that Natasha was a fake, this resistance disappeared.

Seeing Natasha's low mood, he comforted her in a very straightforward manner:
"I don't care if you are Natasha or not, I just know that it was you who saved me this time."

"From now on, we are friends!"

"I'm a person who only helps my relatives, not my friends. No matter if you're a good person or a bad person, I'll definitely stand on your side."

"Tell me, which organization are you from 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 weird organization behind you, we can join forces to destroy them!"

Natasha rolled her eyes beautifully, almost making Xiao Zhanliu rebel again.

"If you don't know how to comfort people, you could just shut up!" Natasha said unhappily.

Zhan Liu rubbed his nose angrily, "Isn't it because you are in a low mood..."
