Zhao Rushuang dug underground, hoping to find a bug or two.
The northern part of the canyon is flat, and scattered stones can be seen in the soft soil.
It's the top of the mountain, but it's more like a terraced rice field that has been loosened up.
"Don't you think it's strange? The soil shouldn't be like this. Su Wei held the eagle and looked at the flat land, and the mountain that had collapsed due to the mudslide was opposite.
Zhao Rushuang stood up: "Yes, you see ahead, there was a serious landslide, and when the mudslide rolled down, half of the mountain was covered, but there should be mud and gravel everywhere, and now it is like a field dug by hand." β
She leaned over and grabbed a handful of dirt, damp and with a strange smell, a bit like the smell of household dish soap.
"There were no living creatures, no insects, not even birds. Su Wei put the young eagle away, tore open a piece of grilled fish and put it over, the young eagle ate greedily, but soon made a vomiting sound, and vomited it all.
"Mama Su, you little guy can't digest this kind of fish now, you have to find bugs for it to eat, the kind of white and fat bugs is the best. Zhao Rushuang said lazily.
"Don't call me Mama Su, don't you, it sounds like an old woman. Su Wei was dissatisfied.
Zhao Rushuang snorted: "Mother Su, accept your fate, who let you take the child, don't want it, give it to me, I'll bake it and eat it now!"
The two are fighting, the young eagle in Su Wei's arms takes a long time to open their eyes, each young eagle needs a long process from birth to soaring in the sky, in this process of growth, sometimes the eagle has to brutally tear off the feathers of the young eagle, forcing it to crash into the mountain rocks and regrow its wings.
This is the brutal journey of an eagle.
Su Wei is now very fond of this little guy, pulled out a dagger, and dug on the ground: "Such soft soil, there must be insects, earthworms or anything?"
Zhao Rushuang held a rifle and began to explore the surroundings, there had been gunshots here, so someone must be hiding, and the other party might be a heavily armed warrior.
Su Wei dug very deep, and suddenly exclaimed, digging something.
Zhao Rushuang rushed over, looked left and right vigilantly, put away the gun and squatted down.
Beneath the soil, above the rocks, and in the warm soil, jasper-like "fruits" the size of apples appeared.
The turquoise shell, almost transparent, but something curled up inside.
"It looks like grapes, but I've never heard of grapes being buried under the soil. Zhao Rushuang reached out to touch it, but was grabbed by Su Wei: "Don't move, this is not a fruit, it's an egg!"
Ovum?
Zhao Rushuang was startled, and when she looked closely, she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach.
Under the turquoise transparent cortex, curled up is a larva with many claws and mouthparts on its head.
"This, this is a spider's egg!" Su Wei swallowed.
"The spider's egg is so big?" Zhao Rushuang was even more frightened.
Yes, the spider eggs are so big, even the black-haired earth spiders in the Australian jungle have eggs that are only the size of a dragon's eye, but under the dirt here are monsters bigger than fists.
The larvae lie quietly in the eggs, still a long time before they reach maturity.
Su Wei leaned over and looked at it, thinking of the diary of Takatsuka Hawko in the test base, and suddenly realized in her heart that these must have been left by those mutated spiders.
Those spiders have escaped the lab and are already multiplying, maybe...... The entire northern island was overrun by spiders.
"Now I know why it's so quiet here...... Su Wei got up and pulled Zhao Rushuang back to the edge of the land: "All the living creatures here have been eaten up by spiders!"
All living creatures...... Zhao Rushuang felt the suffocating silence around her, and shuddered: "How big are those spiders?"
"Judging from the size of the egg, it may be more than a meter in diameter...... Su Wei thought of the spider silk found in the laboratory, which was as thick as a rope.
"We have to get out of here!" Su Wei gasped: "The whole land here is a place where spiders lay eggs, and I don't know how many there are below." β
As he was talking, the young eagle in his arms jumped down, although he did not open his eyes, it still jumped accurately outside a spider egg, stretched out its mouth to break the egg, opened its mouth wide, took out the larva about the size of its body, and ate it in a big gulp, a full meal.
Su Wei and Zhao Rushuang looked at it in shock, and felt furious for a while.
The young eagle ate four eggs in one go, and came back slowly, Su Wei frowned disgustingly: "Wipe your mouth clean, I don't want you if you don't wipe it clean." β
She just subconsciously said, but the young eagle was really lying in the dirt, cleaning its beak with the dirt, and then it spread its fleshy little wings and made a cooing sound.
Zhao Rushuang licked her lips: "This pair of wings is roasted, it must be more fragrant than KFC's roasted wings." β
Su Wei hurriedly stuffed the little eagle into her arms and glared at Zhao Rushuang: "Tell me again, I'll 'eat' you first!"
This was a bit ambiguous, and Zhao Rushuang blushed for some reason.
Su Wei tilted her head to look at her, and wanted to make fun of it, but in the distance, in the mud and stone covered place, a small hole appeared, and then a white light burst out.
Su Wei saw it, and a jump threw Zhao Rushuang to the ground, but her calf was entangled in something.
It was a spider silk that bounced out of the cave, sticky and flexible, like a rope, Su Wei made a judgment in an instant, and the dagger in her hand plunged into the dirt.
She stabilized her figure, the powerful pull of the spider silk came, Su Wei held the dagger tightly, and Zhao Rushuang had already rushed up.
The dagger slid through the dirt, and Su Wei's body was quickly pulled backwards.
Zhao Rushuang couldn't keep up, Su Wei's eyes flashed, she gritted her teeth, pulled out the dagger, and with the help of pulling, her body rose into the air, she twisted her waist, and the dagger in her hand cut downward, cutting off the spider silk.
He fell heavily into the dirt, and at this time he was less than ten meters away from the open cavern.
"Don't come here!" Su Wei shouted, and the last grenade landed in her palm, twisted away, and threw it into the cave with precision.
Zhao Rushuang pounced and pressed Su Wei under him, and a loud noise was heard in the distance, and a pillar of earth rose up in the mud and stone covered land, and then a whining sound came.
It was the sound of the spider's mouthparts spinning silk, and a spider the size of a millstone crawled out quickly, with two claws on its abdomen that had been blown open, but its upper body was still intact, and while spitting spider silk, it rushed towards the two women.
The M4 rifle in Zhao Rushuang's hand began to shoot, hitting the head of the big spider.
The head of the large spider began to drip brown liquid, but faster.
Half of Su Wei's body was crushed into the dirt, and she didn't even have a chance to jump up at this time.
At the critical moment, in the southwest position of the side, first-class white smoke appeared, and an RPG rocket arrived in an instant, hitting the position of the spider and blowing the big spider into pieces.
Su Wei and Zhao Rushuang were shocked by the impact of the explosion, and when they turned their heads together, they saw a humanoid object appear.
Is it indeed a person, tall and covered in white fur?
"Come here, there's a lot of spiders out there!" roared the white-haired man, the RPG bazooka on his shoulder rising again, he crouched, and another rocket flew in.
Su Wei took Zhao Rushuang's hand and ran desperately in the direction of that guy.
The mud and gravel caverns behind them had been completely opened, as if the roof of a building had disappeared out of thin air, and the big spiders crawled out, the largest of which was the size of a tank, and the smallest, which had to be half a meter in diameter, rushed madly towards their food......
"Run with me, bend over, and watch out for their silk!" roared the man in white fur, bending over to lead the way.
Su Wei and Zhao Rushuang followed, running to the barren mountains in the southwest, where the ditches were deep and full of metal and plastic and other garbage debris.
The three jumped into the ditch, and there was a whining sound from above, and the sound of spiders crawling through the dirt.
"Don't be afraid, these stupid spiders don't dare to come, they will automatically retreat every time they get close to this ditch!" whispered the man wrapped in white fur.
The spiders really retreated, Su Wei raised his dagger, but the man directly threw down the bazooka and pistol in his hand, and raised his hands high: "Su Wei, don't be impulsive, I don't have any malicious intent!"
Zhao Rushuang gasped: "Who are you?" Su Wei, how did he know you?"
Su Wei gritted her teeth: "This is the head of operations of Jinyuan Company, and we were thrown to this island by him." β
The man ripped open the spider silk on the top of his head, revealing an old face, mainly because he had too much beard and looked like an old man.
"In the company, everyone calls me Brother Beard, this time you fell into an isolated island, it was indeed planned by me, but now, I want to seek peace!"
Su Wei snatched the rifle in Zhao Rushuang's hand and put it on the head of the beard: "Give me a reason not to kill you!"
Beard swallowed: "Let's work together, maybe we have a chance to get out of this damn place!"
