Overlords in the Marvel Universe

……

[Wasteland Diary: XX, XX, XZ, XX, weather: sunny]

[The days before the era of swarms... I was not very old or young at the time, and I still vaguely remember the taste of life before]

[The smell of the bakery, the smell of clean clothes, the smell of flowers... and the smell of my mother's perfume, but the only smell I can distinguish now is Xiao Z]

【Now, we are scavenging every day in this old world like an open cemetery to survive, of course, I am not complaining】

【My family, the Baqien family, is considered lucky. At least most of us are still alive. Sometimes I wonder if my life will be easier if I don’t remember the past? 】

Sitting on a flat rock, An Wen was holding a mechanical pencil and drawing on a sketchbook. She seemed to be very talented in this area, and within a short while, a lifelike portrait appeared on the paper.

"I found a new mechanical pencil in a dilapidated office, and there is still lead in it." An Wen showed the sketchbook to the grandfather next to her, "Look, do I draw like my mother herself?"

"You are very talented, An Wen." The white-haired old man on crutches stared at the painting in his granddaughter's arms, opened his mouth and gave an ambiguous answer.

Baqien's leg was broken during the pursuit of the Annihilating Swarm, but he managed to save his life, and his broken leg is almost healed now.

"Are you avoiding this question to mean that you don't look like it?" An Wen asked back with a smile.

"I'm really sorry, my dear." Bacheen shook his head, "But your mother has been away from us for so long that I can't even remember what she looks like."

What An Wen painted was her mother, a member of the Nova Corps and a hero who fought against the Annihilation Swarm.

Fighting world, endless battle zone.

The originally bustling city was plundered by the annihilating insects, leaving only endless ruins. The crows flew with hoarse voices. Among the ruined walls of the city, a black and yellow wolf dog scraped away the gravel in front of it. , lowered his head and didn't know what he was sniffing.

After a while, the wolfhound raised its head and looked around. Behind it, two figures, one big and one small, had already caught up.

The middle-aged man's name was Menz, and he was the head of the Baqien family. Next to him was his underage daughter, Fern.

The clothes on the father and daughter looked tattered. Although they looked a little worse, they still had the function of keeping warm, otherwise they might not be able to withstand the next wave of cold snap.

Tighten the backpacks on their backs, which are full of "trophies" they picked up from the ruins, such as canned food and clean bottled water.

Arriving on an open platform, looking at the two figures sitting together not far away, the youngest daughter Fern waved her hand excitedly, and the immature voice of a child could be heard far away on the open platform.

"Sister!" Fern trotted all the way, "What are you drawing? Can you show me?"

"Of course." An Wen smiled and rubbed the top of her sister's head, then handed over the sketchbook in her hand.

"Dad, look quickly, what my sister drew is my mother!"

"...the painting is really beautiful."

Seeing the familiar face in the portrait, Menz also had a look of reminiscence on his face.

"dad…"

"It's okay." Menz shook his head, "We've gained a lot today, the old man didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

"Hey!"

Baqien, who was on crutches, snorted dissatisfiedly.

An Wen smiled helplessly, "Grandpa is always so energetic."

"Little Z found some canned food!" Fern took out today's spoils from the backpack, and the little Z she was talking about was the yellow and black wolfhound.

"Keep your voice down, Fern." Menz yelled in a low voice, "The label on the can is rotten, which means that we are going to open the lucky blind box now."

"Maybe we'll have soup later, or some noodles."

However, Goddess of Luck did not favor the Baqien family today. The real identity of those tin cans was actually dog ​​food.

But something is better than nothing. In this doomsday world, the first thing they need to do is to survive.

"It's getting late, we should go."

Throwing away the empty tin box in his hand, Menz put on his backpack and called the others to set off together.

Those Annihilation swarms are still wandering in the ruins of the city, the city will become more dangerous at night than during the day, they can no longer stay here, they have to hurry back to their camp in the forest now.

"Ok?"

An Wen, who was following behind her father, suddenly stopped in her tracks. A strange feeling of being watched made her look up subconsciously.

Yet she saw nothing.

"what happened?"

Noticing the strangeness in An Wen's body, Menz, the father, hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay." An Wen shook her head, "I thought I saw something just now."

Menz nodded, "Then let's move on, it's getting dark."

Chapter 224 Infinite Gloves ([-])

night.

In the forest outside the ruins of the city, the Baqien family spread sleeping bags in a hidden camp in the forest and snuggled up to each other to keep warm.

Oblivion Swarms become more active at night, so they cannot start fires, the bright flames will act as beacons in the Oblivion Swarm's eyes.

"I feel so cold."

The youngest daughter, Fern, pouted and snuggled into Menzi's arms.

"I know, but we can't take the risk of starting a fire." Menz tightened the sleeping bag on Fern's body, "We can't take the risk after that."

"Then can you tell me about your mother again?" Fern suddenly looked up at his father.

"Please, don't." An Wen on the side suddenly rubbed her temples with a headache, and whispered, "At least don't say it tonight."

"Of course it's okay, Fern." Menz's face showed a look of reminiscence, "When I first met your mother, I knew she was different."

"Your mother is very beautiful and strong... When she learned that she had to leave here after the swarm attack, she was very sad, but she knew that the Nova Corps needed support."

"She knew it would help here if the Nova Corps could kill the bugs out there."

"But those bugs have already arrived here." An Wen, who was hugging her knees, said suddenly, "...Mom is already dead. If she wins, we won't be sitting here eating dog food and freezing."

"Don't talk about An Wen, you are not allowed to talk to your sister like this." Menz said helplessly, "Your mother is not dead yet, she just... It's a bit complicated to explain, otherwise she will be with her now We are together."

"Yeah, don't speak ill of Mom!" Fern pouted, looking like a cat with fried fur.

An Wen frowned unhappily and said, "I didn't talk to you, let's go."

Seeing the two sisters who were starting to quarrel, Menz scolded in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, both of you."

"Girls, your father is right, you have to keep your voice down." Baqien, who was lying in his sleeping bag, suddenly opened his eyes, "Also, Menz, you are a good son-in-law, An Wen is right, My baby girl is gone and she's never coming back."

"Damn it, old man, you're not helping!" Menz, who was holding Fern, whispered hastily.

"What's the benefit of lying to them, or to ourselves?" Barchin shook his head. "You and I both know that those new stars have no chance at all."

Baqien said in a serious tone, "Stop pampering them, this world cannot tolerate weakness now."

"Don't teach me how to raise my daughter," Menz retorted.

Just when her grandfather and father started to quarrel, An Wen noticed that Xiao Z sitting beside him suddenly sat up straight, and turned his head towards the direction of the dense forest not far away.

"What's wrong? Little Z?"

Little Z didn't answer, but suddenly opened his mouth, staring at the dark forest with sharp canine teeth.

"Someone has to make them realize the reality. I have never been able to figure out why she likes you." Baqien's voice was full of coercion and anger from his father-in-law.

"What are you kidding, old man, why are you repeating the old tune again?"

"Of course I will, because you are always so weak."

"Weak? Since we started running for our lives, when have I been weak in saving your life?"

The quarrel between the old and the young intensified.

"Shh!"

Seeing that little Z had stood up from the ground, An Wen suddenly raised her finger to her lips to remind him, but grandpa and father ignored him.

"But she's dead, that's the truth, even though I don't want to admit it, but it's the truth!" Baqien said, "I didn't want to say it, but if I die first, I don't want these children... ..."

Menz also got angry, "What? What don't you want?"

"Shut up!" An Wen suddenly yelled at the two of them.

"Don't talk to your father in that tone!"

"Don't talk to your grandfather in this tone!"

"Look!"

Not having time to explain so much, An Wen quickly pointed in the direction of little Z barking.

In the dark forest, one after another blood-red light clusters lit up like bright light bulbs, shining with bloodthirsty light.

"run!"

Menz yelled suddenly. His long life of fleeing made him very familiar with the identities of those light bulbs.

Those are the eyes of the annihilation bug!

"If we get separated, meet up in the ruined camp!"

"father!"

"Don't look back! Run!"

The Annihilation Zerg, the size of a truck, rampaged like a mad bull, crushing everything in front of them that dared to stop them.

[Annihilation of the Zerg, from the Marvel event "Interstellar Annihilation", which is somewhat similar to the Zerg in StarCraft in terms of setting]

The Bachion family was quickly dispersed by the Annihilator swarm. These greedy insects would frantically devour everything in sight until they turned the entire world into a wasteland.

In a panic, An Wen got separated from her family. A car-sized, cockroach-like Annihilation Zerg jumped behind An Wen and bared its sharp fangs at her.

"Stay away from her!"

At the critical moment, Grandpa Baqien took his crutches and gave the bug a hard hit, and shouted when it was stunned.

"Grandpa, go!"

"Run! I'm right behind you!"

An old man and a young man ran wildly along the muddy ground under their feet, and An Wen, who was sharp-eyed, soon saw his father and sister not far away.

"Dad! Fern!"

But before An Wen could take a few steps, an Annihilation Zerg that looked like a dragonfly hooked her clothes with its slender limbs and brought her to the sky.

An annihilating Zerg bent its tail on its back, and as the dazzling red light converged, an energy shell landed at Menz's feet.

But fortunately, neither Menz nor Fern was injured, and the little Z who rushed over successfully joined the father and daughter.

Two beetle-shaped Oblivion Zergs set their sights on Bachin, and the old man escaped temporarily by turning into a hollow concrete pipe in time.

But the two Annihilation Zerg didn't think so, they used their jointed limbs to lift the cement pipe, and then used their sharp mouthparts to continuously smash the cement above.

【Am I going to die like this? 】

Chapter 225 Infinite Gloves ([-])

"F**k!"

An Wen took off her coat in mid-air. She glanced down, opened her hands the moment she fell, firmly grabbed a passing Annihilation Zerg, and crawled along its claws to the ground. overhead.

"An Wen! I'm in the cement pipe over here!"

Through the two ends of the cement pipe, Baqien found his granddaughter.

Maybe there is no nutrition in the building materials, or maybe these bugs have already devoured this thing once.In short, the cement pipe that Baqien was hiding in was not crushed by the Annihilator swarm, but was thrown aside casually.

For now, there is no safer hiding place around than here.

Fear was suppressed by the surge of adrenaline in her body, An Wen grabbed the tail of a large dragonfly, and then continued to use the passing Annihilation Zerg to drive towards the direction of the cement pipe bit by bit.

These big bugs were not as flexible as An Wen imagined, she thought, maybe she was too small, so she didn't attract the attention of these bugs.

"I am coming!"

Seeing the timing, An Wen jumped off the head of a beetle, and the sound of howling wind passed by her ears. In the blink of an eye, An Wen had already tightly grasped the cement pipe. edge.
