Chapter 63: I Witness, I Record......
Barnum walked through the dark passage.
At this moment, the power in the passage has been completely cut off with the previous explosion, and the entire corridor has become pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.
Barnum's eyes narrowed slightly, and he listened with his ears, moving forward step by step.
Sou!
Just as he turned a hallway, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly came.
Barnum grinned.
The sturdy body, with a dexterous move, and the huge dog-legged knife in his hand, went straight up.
Burst!
The sour liquid sprayed directly, and the complete mouthparts and skull were split in two.
The giant spider trembled all over, its sharp chelicerae slamming into tiny holes in the hard concrete floor, but none of that mattered to Barnum.
He had already rushed to the depths of the passage, and the huge dogleg knife in his hand, like a scythe of death, quickly harvested the giant spiders in this place.
In addition to the giant spider that he killed as soon as he first saw it, there are a total of three giant spiders here.
The spiders had extremely hard chests and chelicera, which could withstand bullet fire, but they were fragile near their mouthparts, but even so, Barnum still had some breath after killing the remaining three giant spiders.
It's not easy to dodge the chelicerae of these spiders, and if he weren't often beaten by Arras, I'm afraid it would be over at this time.
"Thank you, Presiding Judge."
Barnum thought so, holding the dogleg knife in one hand, touching the back of the waist with the other, and quickly swung forward.
The next moment-
Rumble!
In the sound of the explosion, the flames flashed.
Several of the spiders rushed to the area, huddled in the narrow passage for them, and were suddenly covered by shrapnel from the grenade.
Listening to the neighing of these spiders, Barnum sneered.
Through the screen, he not only saw how these spiders fought, but also knew that the corpses of spiders would attract more spiders.
"Another wave!"
Barnum listened, and then another grenade was thrown.
Rumble!
In the explosion of the grenade, several more spiders died.
Barnum, on the other hand, began to retreat.
He's not a reckless man!
He's here to temporarily stop the spiders from advancing, so that the civilians of Blocks 4-12 can enter safely.
Now that it's done, it's natural to return.
Barnum faced the spider in the direction in which it appeared, and began to retreat step by step.
Every few steps back, he would stop and listen.
After confirming that there was no sound, he continued to retreat.
Barnum breathed a sigh of relief when he had walked a hundred meters and was less than a hundred meters away from the shelter behind him.
But at this moment, a spider silk silently wrapped around his calf, and before Barnum could react, the spider silk began to retract backwards.
Thump!
The sudden spider silk, as well as the huge force above, made Barnum not react at all, and the whole person was dragged to the ground, and then dragged into the darkness.
The panic flashed away.
The next moment, Barnum took off the gun on his back and pulled the trigger in the direction where the spider silk was fired.
Da-da-da-da!
Gunfire flickered, bringing light to the dark passages.
With this light, Barnum could see clearly the spider that shot out the silk.
If the previous car-sized spider was huge enough, it could only be regarded as petite compared to the spider in front of me, curled up and still occupying the entire passage, with a smaller head, which looked like a locomotive.
Ding Ding Ding!
The bullet struck the giant spider's head, splashing a field of sparks.
Especially around the breath and compound eyes, Barnum focuses on it, but it is not of any use at all.
This made Barnum's heart sink to the bottom of his heart.
After the submachine gun bullets in his hand ran out, Barnum did not change the magazine, but clenched the dogleg knife, and in the other hand there was an extra grenade, and he squinted at the end of the darkness, his muscles tensed.
The distance is getting closer!
Breathe, breathe!
Barnum awaits the best opportunity!
It's here!
After another breath, Barnum swung the dogleg knife in his hand at the spider silk, and threw the grenade in his hand forward.
Syllable!
The spider silk is cut in two.
Rumble!
The grenade exploded again.
Barnum rolled backwards, he didn't look at the result of the explosion, and threw two more grenades in his hand.
Boom, boom!
These were his last two grenades.
The moment the grenade went off, he got up and ran backwards.
But......
Sou!
In the sound of breaking the sky, a spider web fell from the sky.
He was just tied to the same place.
It was no longer a part of the spider silk binding body, this time the restraint was full, only a head was exposed, he reluctantly turned his head to look back, only to see that the huge spider with a trace of fire on his body was approaching him little by little.
Because, the passage is narrow, and the other party moves very slowly.
Every time you take a step forward, the other party needs to squeeze a part of the passage forcefully.
This is not an easy thing for the other party, the shelter built by the 'Hydra' is strong enough, and this gives Barnum one last chance -
"All of you go to the shelter!"
"Close the door!"
He roared, and then, facing the giant spider that was approaching him, he tightened his grip on the dogleg knife.
There's still a chance!
There's still a chance!
He told himself that the dogleg knife was erected little by little, cutting through the cobwebs.
However, this awkward posture caused the speed of the separation to be far less than the speed of the giant spider.
By the time Barnum raised the arm holding the dogleg knife, the giant spider had already rushed in front of him.
The body cannot move alone, only one arm.
But there is a knife in the hand!
That's enough!
"You're here!"
Barnum roared, the tip of his knife rushing forward, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the big guy in front of him.
When the other party opens the mouth!
Chirping!
The giant spider let out a strange roar and rushed straight at Barnum.
Looking at the open mouthparts, the dog-legged knife in Barnum's hand stabbed out directly.
but
The stab is empty!
The giant spider froze forward, sending Barnum's knife within a punch of the opponent's mouthparts.
Barnum's brow furrowed.
Then, the next moment, he noticed that something was wrong.
The giant spider doesn't seem to stop on its own, but ...... Got caught!
Squeak, squeak!
The cries of the giant spiders became more and more terrible.
Then, Barnum watched as the giant spider retreated rapidly.
No!
It was dragged back.
And thenβ
Bang!
Like the sound of a gunshot, the huge spider was shattered by a punch.
Although the darkness still obscured Barnum's vision, his body instinctively trembled the moment the fist broke through the air, and this instinctive intuition told him who was coming.
"Your Excellency the Presiding Judge!"
Barnum shouted in surprise.
Then, a light lit up in the passage.
Arras turned on the flashlight he had with him.
"How?"
A bold smile appeared on Arras's face, shining brightly in the light.
"It's fine."
"I'm not a reckless man."
"I'm in control."
Barnum said as he began to slash through the webs with his dogleg knife.
However, Aras clearly felt that this was too slow, and grabbed the back of Barnum's neck as soon as he raised his hand.
Then, with one force.
Sting.
Barnum was found out directly.
"Barnum, you're too thin, you need to practice more to become stronger."
Arras said seriously.
Arras has always been sincere to his friends.
Barnum looked at his biceps, which were thicker than ordinary thighs, and then at Arras, who seemed to be growing taller again, and he needed to look up, and nodded unconsciously.
"I see."
"Just ......"
Drip, drip.
"Arras! Arras! Can you hear me? β
Barnum was interrupted by the communicator, and Aitdemund's voice came from it.
"I can hear you."
"Arras is coming to the 7-1 block."
"There's a powerful 'anomaly' I marked earlier!"
"Understood!"
Without any hesitation, Arras turned around and ran out, looking at the back of Anas quickly disappearing into the darkness, Barnum was stunned, he subconsciously looked at the huge spider that was shattered on the ground.
Isn't that a powerful 'anomaly'?
What kind of 'anomalies' did the people of ...... 'Night Stalker Court' face?
Barnum guessed, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
He picked up his gun, turned and walked briskly towards the shelter.
He knew very well that since a more powerful anomaly had appeared on the ground, it would be impossible for him to have any more 'reinforcements' here, and he had to redeploy.
At least civilians in shelters in this neighborhood need to be evacuated in advance.
At the same time, lay out at least three lines of defense here, just in case
Take the alloy gate as the first one.
The hall behind the main gate is the second
The passage to the next block is the third.
"Captain!"
"Was it the 'Presiding Judge' just now?"
Looking at Barnum as he returned, all the Hydra members began to ask.
"Hmm."
After seeing Barnum nod, envy began to appear on the faces of these members.
They also seem to see the 'presiding judge'.
It is rumored that as long as you don't die with a punch from the 'presiding judge', you can become stronger!
Also, the rumored 'presiding judge' is heroic and unparalleled, and can make people feel the courage of a real hero!
It's really ...... It's so desirable!
"That's it!"
"There will be a chance in the future!"
"Start now, bury mines here!"
Looking at the gazes of his subordinates around him, Barnum immediately said.
He has already decided that after the end of this 'war', he will take all his subordinates to the 'JJ Fight Gym' to study, and he didn't go because he had a good face and thought he was extraordinary.
And now?
He had to be strong.
Otherwise, even his subordinates would not be able to protect him.
"Yes, Captain."
The men began to act.
Barnum looked up at the top of the passage.
Hope everything goes well!
No!
Don't hope!
Absolutely!
After all, she's there!
Barnum thought confidently.
The surrounding members of the Hydra, as well as the members of the Hydra in the underground shelter, all thought so.
Because, they are all friends that Arras made with his fists.
Even the civilians thought so.
Because, through the display screen, they saw the appearance of the tall and strong figure across the entire battlefield-
Euler, Ola, Ola, Ola!
With a heroic blow, Arras rushed directly to the 7-1 block like an arrow.
No 'anomalous' can stop it.
Any 'anomalies' that stand in its way are shattered.
Swarms of spiders, numerous of 'anomalous' reptiles, and the huge two-headed snake punched one by one.
Within a dozen breaths, Arras appeared at the entrance of the 7-1 block.
Then, she saw a statue.
A statue about two meters high, made entirely of concrete and steel bars, has a yellow-brown coating on the surface, representing a strange spray paint on the face, and the rest of the body also has a single cyan spray paint, the limbs look short, the head is large, almost half the torso, plus round, standing there is like a peanut.
This statue looks somewhat comical and grotesque.
However, Arras did not dare to underestimate it at all.
Aitdemund had warned that this was an extremely dangerous 'anomaly'.
You have to keep staring at each other, you can't look away or blink, or you will break your neck.
However, the statue in front of him is not the 'anomaly' that Ett Dermon had labeled before.
Arras frowned.
Compared to the statue in front of her, she was undoubtedly more worried about the 'anomaly' that grew stronger and stronger as it burned.
If that 'anomaly' is left alone, the whole of Ngong Thanh will be doomed.
Aitdemund saw Alas's situation through the probe.
"Arras, wait a minute!"
"I'll send someone to support you right away!"
Aitdermon said.
The statue is dangerous, but the way to deal with it is very simple, just find a team of people to keep an eye on it, and a few people will rest in shifts before placing it in a sturdy containment cell.
As long as there are no accidents, the statue in front of you can be said to be very safe.
"Can't wait!"
"Aitdemon, do you see the fire?"
Arras looked solemnly at the 7-1 block, where the fire had already lit up and was still spreading.
A flame was burning the trees, bushes, and chairs on both sides of the street, and it was growing bigger.
What's more, it's already targeting gas stations.
Without any further stop, Arras rushed straight into the block.
And just as Arras passed by the statue, his eyes not resting on the statue's body, the statue moved.
Click!
The crisp sound of bones snapping.
"Arras!"
Seeing this, Aitdemund exclaimed, but Arras did not fall.
"Don't worry!"
"It's just that the bones are misaligned, and my dad taught me similar techniques."
"No problem!"
With such words, Arras became faster and faster.
And while she was talking, her neck was twisted no less than ten times.
The statue that seemed to be a peanut followed Aras persistently, twisting Arras's neck one by one, and then, unnoticed, Arras kicked open the fire hydrant.
Burst!
Columns of water rose into the sky.
The 'flames' who had already arrived in front of the gas station were forced back.
Then, Arras rushed to the next hydrant.
Bang!
After a kick, the water column reappeared.
The water that spewed made the 'flames' tremble.
It directly converts the direction.
At the same time, the statue stopped behind Arras.
It seemed to think for a moment, and then, changing the twisting motion, it became tight!
As if in a grappling stance, it stretched out its hands to strangle Arras's neck, but Arras grabbed one of its hands almost instinctively.
Immediately after, it's an over-the-shoulder fall.
"Annoying, don't follow me!"
With a low shout, the statue was thrown into the asphalt road, smashing into a deep pit, and, before the statue could react, Arras stepped forward and fired a powerful volley.
Bang!
The peanut-like statue rolled in mid-air and flew into the distance.
The spray paint on its face seems to have changed somewhat.
That's a kind of carving doubt.
It doesn't understand what's going on.
That's not how it should be.
Even more important......
The aura of terror is coming, and it is an extreme oppression.
The tension was heightened, which made the spray paint on the statue's face even more unpredictable.
It wanted to change its trajectory.
But it can't do it.
It could only watch as it got closer and closer to the man who had been flying towards it.
And then......
It saw that it was supposed to be human, and the man's mouth suddenly opened wide.
When opened, the mouth was bigger than a shark's.
Its head seemed to be aimed at the mouth.
Then, in mid-air, they met.
It's like an eagle striking a sparrow.
Although the two are not much different in size from the degree of blurring, it is only at the moment before they meet, at the next moment of meeting-
Crunchy.
The crisp chewing sound just sounded.
Rebar, Jason is not uneaten.
But mixed with concrete, Jason was eating it for the first time.
It's a bit stuffy, and it's a bit tongue-pulling.
Still, it tastes good.
After being slightly salty, it has a faint sweetness, just like a wolfberry after soaking in water, and has a long aftertaste.
It's a pity that it's the same as eating sugar cane, you can't swallow it.
Jason opened his mouth to spit out the debris of the statue.
[Devour the statue 'Little Peanut'!] γ
[Physical strength and energy are greatly recovered! ] γ
[Satiety +33!] γ
[Satiety: 280]
β¦β¦
The debris fell from the air and landed on a strange 'anomaly' made up of sharp objects such as hooks, fishing lines, needles, scissors, etc., which took on a roughly spherical shape with a radius of more than 2 meters.
When hit by the debris of the statue, he threw a fishing line directly at Jason who jumped through mid-air.
Jason didn't resist, allowing the lines to pull themselves in front of the spherical sphere full of sharp objects.
Sharp hooks, needles, and scissors stabbed Jason.
And then......
Didn't stab in.
Ding, ding, ding.
In a series of crisp thuds, Jason cracked his mouth, revealing his strengthened teeth.
In the faint moonlight, the teeth showed a cold glow that seemed to be a sharp weapon, especially when Jason's mouth opened wider and wider, and an atmosphere of horror began to permeate.
The ball that was supposed to show its sharpness, dragging Jason into it trembled slightly.
It's going to run away subconsciously.
But Jason grabbed it with his hand and shoved it straight into his mouth.
Crunchy.
The chewing sound rang out again.
After a few moments, the residue spits out again.
[Devour the Sharp Thorn Mass!] γ
[Physical strength and energy are greatly recovered! ] γ
[Satiety +30!] γ
[Satiety: 310]
β¦β¦
At this moment, Jason's satiety reached an unprecedented height, a full 103 lives, which greatly increased the sense of security in Jason's heart, and he felt a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time.
Call!
Jason took a deep breath.
Turning, he looked at the 'human' who had no intention of hiding his footsteps.
Outwardly, the other party is at least a human being.
He is about thirty years old, with black hair, gray eyes, olive skin, and is about the same height as Jason, but his fitness level is not as good, but there are a large number of indescribable mysterious and obscure patterns on the other party's body.
The other party looked at Jason excitedly.
"Strong!"
"Let's dance!"
Some muffled voices came from the other party's throat.
The other party seems to be in a not very conscious state.
Approaching Jason, simply because he was attracted by Jason's breath.
Jason looked at each other, his nose twitching.
There was also a certain excitement in his eyes.
"Okay!"
Jason nodded.
The man covered in mysterious and obscure patterns disappeared from the spot after Jason nodded, and when he reappeared, the other party was already standing in front of Jason with an extra blade in his hand.
Slashed straight at Jason's neck.
Jason raised his arm.
Clang!
It was enough to withstand the explosive-level defensive arm and withstand such a slash, but in the slide of the blade, a spark splashed up, and the blade cut into Jason's forearm.
However, Jason didn't pay attention to it at all, he grabbed the wrist of the man holding the knife in one hand, and held the broad-bladed short-handled machete in the other hand, regardless of slashing directly at the opponent's neck.
Clang!
Another sharp blade appeared in the opponent's hand, blocking the broad-bladed short-handled machete.
Up close, Jason could be sure that the other party had drawn the knife from some kind of 'space'.
Unknown storage?
Jason thought to himself, but his movements did not stop, and he just hit his head against the other party.
The man covered in mystical and obscure patterns obviously thought the same way.
Almost at the same time, he slammed his head up at Jason.
Bang!
Without any fancy, the heads of the two slammed into everything, and in the silence, the two of them retreated backwards under the reaction force.
However, by this time, Jason's palm was still grasping the other party's wrist.
Although it was only an instantaneous fight, the speed of the other party's disappearance was telling Jason that the other party was faster than him!
Once the other side takes advantage of the advantage of speed, the battle between the two sides will inevitably fall into anxiety, and in this kind of battlefield full of 'abnormalities', a quick battle is the key to victory.
As for 1VS1?
Jason chose to do the same.
Obviously he can use the most direct means to deal with the enemy, but he has to use his own strength to attack the enemy, Jason is hungry and delirious, so he will do this.
The body is backwards, the legs are forced, the calf muscles are tense, and the thigh muscles then support the waist, like a reflex spring, Jason pulls the opponent back with a force on his wrist, and the head hits the opponent again, and the machete in his hand is to guard against the opponent's blade.
The man seemed to enjoy the fight so much that the blade didn't attack again, and just collided with Jason.
Bang!
Again.
And then, the third, the fourth, the fifth.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The street where the two of them were located was the dull sound of crashing.
And, it's getting faster and faster.
At first, I could hear one or two sounds, but then it continued to be like a drum kit struck by several people.
Bang bang bang!
This sound lasted for several minutes.
The man's forehead and face had already collapsed, and his eyes had already been shattered.
Only the will to fight remains.
Jason is similar, even, a little worse.
He couldn't feel his nose anymore.
But, Jason doesn't care!
He's so talented!
After just another breath, Jason, who had suffered a 'fatal injury', returned to his original state directly.
Then, the impact came again.
Burst!
This time there was no muffled sound, only the sound of a watermelon breaking.
The man's head in front of him was shattered.
But the body did not fall, and the wreckage turned to dust at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jason shook his head.
Fatal injuries can be treated, but the feeling of vertigo remains.
However, that didn't stop Jason from stepping in search of the aroma of the food.
With the remnants of the scent on the man's body, Jason staggered to the back alley of the street, and then, he saw a rock cube.
It looks a bit like a coffin with an unknown pattern carved on it.
A chain is wrapped around it, both as if to bind and as to protect.
Jason didn't hesitate and approached the 'coffin'.
And just as he approached the 'coffin', a strange voice appeared behind him-
"I testify, I record."
Burst!
With such a sound, a metal palm pierced Jason's chest.
