The Death Knell

"Patriotic lunatic? I'm afraid he's a mental patient."

Steve shook his head. He didn't think so. Was this Red Skull planning to drag everyone on the earth to be buried with him just because the Soviet Union was about to end?

Su Ming slowly rolled down the window and let the wind in the field blow on his armor. The fragrance of the earth and the smell of the forest made him feel relaxed.

"I don't care what he thinks. But you have to note that he is not alone. He has brought special forces. At the same time, he also has his spies in the United States. Otherwise, he would not be able to find the specific way to contact Voyager 1 at Cape Caravel. .”

"Do you know him?"

Steve asked again. He depressed the accelerator a little. This place was far away from Cape Caravel. He had to go to the military camp to borrow a plane.

"I don't know him, but by becoming the Star Devourer, he will receive very powerful cosmic energy as a reward. What you have to face is a planet-level super villain, so act with caution."

"What about you, not coming with us?"

Because Deathstroke sounded like he was planning to leave, Steve was somewhat panicked.

"The four of you only have to deal with one Galactus messenger, but I have to deal with several of them in the universe, plus Galactus himself. How about we switch?" Su Ming sneered and flew out of the car window at the same time.

Even if Steve is willing to change, he can't, because the current US team does not have the ability to fight in space.

"I don't know what Galactus and Galactus you are talking about, but I understand. You must be careful."

Steve was not a procrastinator. After understanding the cause and effect and the problems he might face, he nodded firmly and watched Deathstroke leave.

At the same time, he was somewhat moved. The mercenary Deathstroke actually took the initiative to protect the earth without even asking for compensation. He was really a good person.

Well, this is actually just because he is completely unaware of the existence of the Sky Council, and Deathstroke has been making decisions for the earth for many years. After all, most of the cosmic forces now default to the Supreme Mage Deathstroke as the ruler of the earth.

Rule in secret and no one knows? That is also a means of domination. If you really think about it, it is the captain and the others who are working in vain.

.....................

At this time, Natasha, who was inside the Sanfei Building in Washington, was walking around in the director's office, and a green corpse was thrown next to her.

The information the boss told Fury turned out to be true. The new director was really an alien. There was no need to disguise himself. The body could be thrown here openly.

But what about waiting for the captain to come over to perform? It's been more than two hours, why hasn't anyone come yet?

Natasha walked back and forth holding the gun while constantly trying to contact Fury, but she couldn't. Who knows where the braised egg went.

So she simply used her authority to summon some agents, announced to them the news of the alien invasion, and put SHIELD on level one alert.

As for herself, she obtained Steve's current location through the spider web agent inside SHIELD, and drove the Quinjet to find the captain.

Anyway, Fury said to kill Khloe, and she did it. She didn’t care what happened next.

After Natasha left, someone finally stepped forward and took over as the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. as head of the Paris branch, and also took out a letter of appointment from the United Nations Security Council.

His name is Alexander Pierce.

Not to mention anything else, in the short period of time after the director's sudden death, he had established connections with the United Nations. From this point of view, he was extremely powerful.

Moreover, he immediately went to the front line after taking office, commanded the troops to prepare for defense, sent agents to inquire about information, provided early warning to allies, and contacted the local National Guard and public security forces. He did everything in an orderly manner and showed very strong leadership skills.

He eats takeout fast food like an ordinary agent, cares passionately about everyone's situation, and always has a friendly smile on his face, making everyone he talks to feel like spring breeze.

In just half an hour, he gained recognition from many agents. There would always be people around him telling people about Pierce's past glorious deeds, making him appear to be extremely great.

When he heard other people's compliments, he just nodded reservedly and was not proud of himself at all. He only said that he only did some basic work and that he was able to protect the earth well, which was the credit of everyone.

A knowledgeable leader is at least better than Kohler. If you follow him, everyone will not die in vain. You must know that aliens are invading now, and anyone around you may be an alien.

So in both public and private matters, Pierce naturally took over the leadership of SHIELD.

Fury, who was rescuing Agent Coulson, didn't know all this.

Luodan and Melinda were disguised as Skrulls, searching for Coulson's location in their outpost.

This operation was extremely risky. They only changed their appearance through optical masks. They looked like Skrulls, but in fact they couldn't understand the language or writing. From the time they drove the spacecraft to the outpost starport, the two of them didn't speak. Over a sentence, just through eye contact.

Fury turned into a tall green bald man, which seemed less obtrusive, and his eyes were still so bright.

Melinda, on the other hand, seems to be very uncomfortable with it. She always feels that the clothes on her body are too short, and she pulls them with her hands.

Fury's bald head slowly retracted from a corner. There were no lights in these Skrull underground buildings and they looked dark, but the incomprehensible words on the walls were glowing, which made him feel very bad. .

But fortunately, even in the darkest place, Fury's eyes were still white enough, and Melinda could read the general meaning.

For example, what Fury means now is: 'Stop ripping off those rags, you have to get used to the stolen Skrull uniform even if it doesn't fit. ’

Melinda rolled her eyes and said, 'The Skrulls are all men and these uniforms are too tight. ’

Fury glared at her: 'We won't stay here forever. We will retreat as soon as we rescue Coulson. ’

Melinda curled her lips and stopped looking at Fury. He was not a woman and could not understand what pain felt like.

But what Fury said was right. The right way to rescue Coulson and leave as soon as possible was to sneak in. There was no telling when the two of them would be discovered.

So she took a breath, gritted her teeth, and asked with her eyes: 'Which direction are we going? There are three forks here. "

Fury signaled to wait a moment. He lay on the ground and turned his head sideways, as if he was inhaling or observing something with the help of dim light.

Then he stood up and pointed to a dark corridor opposite, meaning go this way.

Melinda took out her pistol and followed his footsteps, and the two of them moved toward their destination furtively.

Little did they know that in the security room of the outpost, every move of the two of them was displayed on the screen. With such high definition, even how much coffee Fury drank for breakfast was on his lips, and a line of data analysis was listed. .

However, the people looking at the screen were not the Skrulls. Their green corpses fell to the ground, and the green blood dried up at some point. Sitting on the monitoring seat at this time was an alien that looked exactly like an alien. Giant monster.

While watching the performance of Fury and the other two, it used the blades of its forelimbs to eat a Skrull, just like eating snacks while watching a TV series.

"Blue? Blue..."

The Bru Zerg got their name because they only have this syllable in their language. Through different tones and different environments, 'Bru' also has different meanings.

There are many races in the universe whose languages ​​are like this, and the cosmic translator is often unable to do anything. For example, the tree people can only speak their own names.

After devouring the Skrull's body and biting off half of the chest cavity in one bite, the insect tilted its head, pressed several buttons on the console, and followed Fury and the two.

It can't say why, but looking at the back of this fake Skrull, it felt that the person in front looked like a dog.

It stuffed the corpse into its mouth full of sharp teeth and sucked it in like a noodle. The two legs of the corpse swayed and was eaten by it.

The insect rubbed its pair of forelimbs together, as if wiping its hands, then turned over on the chair, stood up in a flash and slid against the wall into the ventilation duct on the wall, as if it was shrinking its bones. .

Humanity? food......

This is what it said to itself before. It did not mean to call other insects, but regarded these two pieces of meat as its own meal.

Yes, this Skrull space station had fallen before Fury arrived. Even if they could land smoothly, it was this bug that opened the door for them.

At first I thought it was a Skrull snack, but after careful identification, the equipment gave an analysis conclusion that it was a human being, which made the bug want to monopolize the delicious food.

The Skrulls were a bit tough to chew, but the humans looked much more tender. It was planning to go along the ventilation duct and give the two humans a surprise attack.

And Fury, who had been walking along the dark corridor for a long time, felt something was wrong.

Not to mention that the entire base was lifeless, even after they had been operating for so long, they didn't even see a single Skrull.

Fury didn't think that the optical disguises of the two of them could deceive the sensors of the cosmic forces. Logically speaking, the two of them should also be surrounded.

Also, the writing on the wall keeps flashing red, which feels a bit ominous, like an alarm.

"Something's wrong, speed up." He spoke directly, regardless of whether he would be heard.

Sensing that something was wrong, Fury did not think about giving up the rescue plan. He just urged Melinda to hurry up. After all, it was impossible to evacuate without even seeing the enemy, right?

"Sir?"

"Don't ask, just follow me!" Fury also took out his energy gun, and Howard's legacy could finally be put to use.

The two of them ran wildly in the empty corridor, and even though the patter of footsteps could be heard far away, no Skrull appeared, which confirmed Fury's suspicion.

Something happened here. The most likely possibility is that it was invaded by the Zerg.

"If I had known, I should have asked Deathstroke what the insect's weakness is." Fury complained with some regret, but he had already seen the door. He had seen vague blood stains on the ground before, and the red blood was only from humans. There would be, so he judged that someone was dragged in here.

But it's not Coulson. He can't guarantee it and can only gamble on luck.

"First off, sir, I think that's what Major Danvers did." Melinda also understood what was going on and gave her advice seriously.

Fury closed his eyes and removed Skrull's facial disguise, and let out a long sigh. That was cosmic energy, and what he had in his hand was the modified Hydra energy gun. Can it be the same?

But a door lock should be fine.

Fury opened fire at the gap in the thick door in front of him. As the blue light lit up, a big hole appeared in front of the two of them, and they jumped in.
