The Death Knell

Carol ran into the base, looking for something to prove their identity on the skeletal corpses.

Judging from the full number of 'dog tags' in her hand and the tears flowing from her eyes, I'm afraid there are quite a few of her acquaintances here.

Su Ming held the machete and guarded the door, watching her run to the stairs and then to the car.

There is no rotten smell in the air, instead there is the smell of dust, just like an old hotel that has been out of business for decades. The moonlight behind the two people shot through the crack in the door, dragging the two figures who were still standing. very long.

He thought for a few seconds, turned around, grabbed the two doors, and closed them again with a roar.

If the manager here previously closed the door to prevent anything from escaping, it would be best for him to follow suit and pinch back all the deformed positions of the door like plasticine. After closing the door, it will fit tightly, which is good.

"Obviously, there was a biological leak. In order to prevent the crisis from spreading, this base was urgently closed." He walked to Carol and patted her shoulder: "Cheer up, our enemies don't know what it is yet, and they don't know what it is." Where is it hiding?"

The base was filled with the enemy's scent, so strong that Strangler couldn't tell the enemy's direction.

Humans may not be able to smell this smell, but the information sent to the host's mind by strangulation vividly compares the monster to a dog that keeps urinating everywhere. The base is filled with the pheromones it leaves behind.

And these pheromones interfere with Strangler's sense of smell, making it feel like the creature is everywhere.

But there aren't any clues.

Pheromones are generally only possessed by naturally occurring creatures, which means that this kind of creature can reproduce, rather than being created from a laboratory, nor is it a monster summoned by magic.

The gate of the base weighs about three hundred tons. Either the monster is not as strong as himself and Carol, or it is not intelligent enough to recognize what a gate is.

This is all good news.

Of course, Ms. Marvel may not have thought of this yet. She is completely immersed in the tragic death of her former comrades.

Su Ming had long been accustomed to seeing dead people everywhere, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

As we all know, there are several jobs in the military that are best not to be done, such as the engine room of a submarine, the orderly at a secret research base, and then the cook in the artillery unit.

The officers said that when they turn off the valve, they absolutely don't care whether you are submerged in the water, just like here, all the people who fell behind the door were abandoned.

There are no bite marks on the bones. Either the escaped creature is a super-large blood-sucking mosquito, or they died of suffocation after cutting off the oxygen supply.

But as a soldier, Carol should be able to think of this kind of thing, provided she calms down first.

Thinking about this in his mind, Su Ming looked around the dark corner, hoping to see some green or red eyes. It would be great if the monster took the initiative to come to him.

However, a few minutes later, Carol next to him suddenly gasped violently, and then fell into the arms of the bones.

"???"

Okay, Su Ming remembered. She changed out of the Kree uniform, so the oxygen supply system that came with the uniform was gone. Carol didn't have the ability to breathe in a vacuum.

Neither humans nor Crees can survive in an oxygen-deprived environment. The door was opened just now to compensate for the air, but the oxygen flowing in from such a large base is only a drop in the bucket.

There was no other way, so he picked up Carol and walked to the door like a dead cat, and opened the door a crack to let her ventilate.

But even though she was in a hypoxic coma, she still clutched those dog tags in her hands, with a sad expression on her face.

Watching the flow of air making her hair gently sway back and forth as she lay quietly on the ground, Su Ming narrowed her eyes and stretched out her black hand...

He took out a plastic protractor from his belt, placed it on both sides of Carol's face, and measured the curvature of her jaw.

"It's really not convenient at all. It's not that there's something wrong with my vision... The monster in this base is strange enough. It sleeps when there is no oxygen, but with oxygen, it doesn't have oxygen flowing in." It feels a bit tricky to ventilate at the source, so try another method."

Black bean sprouts popped out from his shoulders, looked at Carol on the ground, and nodded seriously.

Then Strangler stretched out its dense tentacles and began to spread along the cold metal floor, spreading like a spider web.

Maybe its sense of smell has failed, but its sense of touch is equally keen. As long as there is a slight vibration inside the base, it can sense it like a spider.

Not yet, but I don’t believe that the monster can stay still. I have to eat something when I wake up, right? I often need to eat, suck.

Su Ming sat on the door and smoked, waiting for Carol next to him to wake up, thinking it would only take a few minutes.

The soft moonlight, the dark environment, and the cold concrete floor all put him in a good mood.

At this moment, a small phantom suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Supreme Mage." A black figure wearing a robe bowed to him, his tone was calm and unhurried.

"Master White, why do you contact me?" Su Ming held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the image of the guardian of the New York Temple.

The master named White, who was obviously black, showed him a partial map: "Just now we sensed that an alien race has entered the earth's defense network. There are a lot of them and they are currently dispersing."

"This must be the trouble that Carol talked about. I understand, don't worry about it." Su Ming replied in a low voice. As for what is coming, just ask her when she wakes up.

The black master bowed and took leave, his phantom extinguished like a beam of light.

But before the death knell could flick the ashes, another image appeared in front of him, that of Casillas.

"Teacher, the Cree people landed in Antarctica just now, and are now heading towards North America at low altitude and high speed. They didn't notice the wilderness, but it seems that this team is very elite."

"Is there an accuser?" Su Ming sighed. It seemed that this group of people was here to arrest Carol.

She lurked in Hala for several years and came back without knowing what information she got. The Kree people have always wanted to destroy the earth, so it is normal for them to come and silence them.

The background behind Xiaoka was still a lush rainforest. He didn't seem to be in 'that village'. He shook his head: "There is no one who can match the image information you provided. Maybe there is no accuser."

"Okay, I understand, I'll handle the Kree people."

"Okay teacher, goodbye." Xiaoka bowed with a smile and licked his upper lip like a snake.

The magic communication was cut off here, and the big brother in his arms rang again. Strangler pressed the answer button for him and put the receiver to the host's ear.

"Tell me, I knew there was something else."

Su Ming sighed, either it was okay, or things just happened all at once, and he was used to it.

Natasha's voice came from the opposite side. She was very serious when doing business, not at all as lively as she usually was when she was around her boss.

"Steve and Bucky have returned to the United States. I heard they are chasing the Red Skull. Pym has left SHIELD. Fury has made moves, just as you expected."

After saying that, she hung up the phone proactively, looking very busy.

Strangler put away Big Brother, and Su Ming turned the scimitar into a cane, propped up his face on the ground, and started thinking, the red goggles flashing in the darkness...
