What is the source of the mutation?

Considering that spiders belong to a matriarchal society, and the status of female spiders is extremely high, and they can sleep on whatever they want, Russell speculated that the oversized female ball spider in the mine hole in the original book is the leader, and it is the most likely one.

But the head does not represent the source of the mutation, because although the oversized female ball spider can command all male spiders who want to sleep with her, it itself only mutates with the chemical raw materials after they appear.

It can't be a source of mutation!

Russell thought about it for a while, and suddenly found that there was a bug in the plot, chemical raw materials made spiders mutate, and they grew rapidly one by one, so why didn't other insects react to it?

If it's because spiders are arthropods, not insects, why don't scorpions and centipedes mutate?

There is never a shortage of poisonous scorpions in the desert shrub area, there are as many as you want, and the ineffective chemical raw materials for them are really thought-provoking, it can't be that the chemical raw materials are only effective for spiders, right?

Russell was shocked that this assumption was not impossible, and thought along this line. The chemical company that produces unknown chemical raw materials and hooks up with the mayor to hide it in the mines is more than it seems.

"According to this line of thought, it is clearly a spider version of the umbrella company and the T-virus!"

Russell plans to go to the mines below the mall to find out, and if the raw materials are really the source of the mutation, he can confirm that Violo's chemical company is the umbrella company of the world, invented the spider mutant virus, and used the town of Prosperity as a testing ground.

If not...... That's even more brain-burning!

Russell rubbed his temples, I really hope that the task of the world is to destroy the spiders, then it will be simple, just reckless. If he is reckless, he will call the FBI and ask the pesticide expert to help him complete the task, instead of being clueless.

……

On the way back to town, Pete keeps trying to contact Samantha, and finally gets him to succeed. The front of the car turned, and the two returned to the scene of the crime first, and waited for Samantha, who arrived in a hurry, at the spider farm.

The United States is a federal state, with autonomous states, a completely different police system from China, and extremely complex types and institutions. The sheriff of a township like Samantha, generally known as the sheriff, has a lot of power in his hands and a lot of control.

From illegal parking and family disputes to solving criminal cases, they are all within their duties, and Joshua's death is no exception.

There had been no homicide in Boom for years, and with a total of two police officers, Samantha had to be there.

In the spider farm, Samantha surveyed the first scene with gloves on, and soon frowned.

Although the sheriff is elected, Samantha is not a vase, and she has undergone systematic professional training that quickly ruled out the possibility of burglary and murder.

Joshua's exposed skin was lined with dense and interlaced bite marks, and the surrounding skin color lesions were obviously dead from poisonous insect bites.

In a spider farm, what other poisonous insects can there be besides spiders?

The killer is obvious, and the shelves that have been pushed one by one also confirm this. Joshua was bitten by a venomous spider and was attacked by the spiders in severe pain.

There are two doubts in the case!

First, why was Joshua bitten by a spider, a coincidence or man-made?

The second, the murderer...... That is, spiders, where have they gone?

Samantha patted her forehead, she was not a forensic doctor after all, and she couldn't get more clues from the body, so she could only call a professional to deal with it and find someone to drag the body away.

This is the end of the town's years of no major accidents, and Samantha's bounty is gone, but what makes her chest ache is that her son Mike is the last person to contact Joshua, and her daughter's boyfriend, Russell, is the first to discover the scene of the murder.

Theoretically, both of them are suspicious, and there is a suspicion that the release of spiders caused Joshua to be attacked.

Samantha decides to impose a grounding on Mike and asks Russell not to leave the territory of Prosperity and to be on call at all times.

Russell has no objection to this, the mission is not over, and he will not leave if he leaves. Moreover, he is not afraid of shadows, and it is normal to be listed as a suspect, so he will not be dissatisfied.

At the police station, Russell mentions to Samantha that spiders in the spider farm have a tendency to mutate, and that jumping spiders that are one or two centimeters larger than a fist and may be larger in the future.

He hopes to attract Samantha's attention, this is a big incident of mutant species invading the US imperialism, you two small town policemen are not so capable, so let's report to your superiors quickly!

Samantha will be skeptical of the mutant spider's claims, because she has not seen it with her own eyes, and she feels that it is absurd.

Fortunately, Russell was not without evidence, and the barrel of chemical raw materials by the river in the spider farm was still swinging on the bank, and at his strong request, Samantha and Pitt salvaged it and sent a sample to the Phoenix EPA laboratory.

During the period, there was a funny scene, Pete went down to the river to work, was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his head.

His scalp ...... Polluted!

This is the end of the case, and before the medical examiner and the EPD reach a conclusion, they can only wait for the townspeople to beware of poisonous insect bites.

Samantha didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but Russell knew very well that the spiders were growing day by day, and the longer they dragged on, the bigger they became, and he had to find a way to make Samantha see the real thing and destroy the spiders before they fully grew.

The spider army is not something that one or two people can handle, he must rely on external forces, but others are soft-spoken, and there is no convincing evidence without conclusive evidence. But Samantha is different, she is a sheriff, and her words can attract the attention of superiors to a certain extent.

Speaking of which, there is a lack of a mutant spider corpse, and if there is a corpse, there is the FBI, the US Imperialist Marine Division, and the US Imperialist Air Force...... Maybe there's Area 51 and the Man in Black or something.

Back at home, Russell took out his diary and recalled several locations where the spider appeared in the original book.

First of all, there are caves, there are spiders and there are a lot of them, but there are spiders' nests, and it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, and you can't afford to pay for a corpse.

If you want to pick a soft pinch of persimmons, you have to find a lone spider to start.

And then ...... Russell's startled discovery seems to be that because of the mine's extensive tunnels, the spider's footprints cover almost the entire town, and as long as you are lucky, you can encounter it anywhere.

This is more embarrassing, Russell is not ready to waste cards in the mission world of the 'eight-legged monster', but he still can't hide from it when it comes.

"System, list all the cards I can use in this world."

[Does the host set this command as the default and execute it every time the task world executes it?] 】

"Confirm execution!"

The system is quite reliable when it doesn't sell cuteness.

In an instant, only Russell could see that a list of cards that could be used was pulled down in the system panel. All the cards in his hand can be used in the 'Eight-Legged Monster' world, even the 'Character Card: Temple Guard'.

"System, use 'Item Card: Ring of the Goddess of Fate'!"

In the face of the spider frenzy, there will be an accident if you don't keep it, and Russell decides to give himself a lucky buff first.

After a ding, a silver-white ring appeared in Russell's palm, with a beautiful shape and delicate feel, engraved with complex and irregular lines.

The texture is like titanium, and it is a bit similar to white copper, but it does not have the cold texture of metal, and Russell looked at it for a while before putting it on his hands.

Thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger...... In the end, he was speechless and found that it was indeed Lady Luck, and this ring was also women's, and he couldn't even put it on his little thumb.

Russell hesitated: "System, can the blood be allowed to change the size of the ring?" ”

[Can't]

"The garbage system doesn't even match the size, if I open a set of Athena's sacred clothes one day, won't I just stare dryly?"

[There are also women in the character card, and the host will have a chance to draw it, just cover the skin]

Russell fell silent, and calmly entered the spiritual world.

If the tree is not repaired, it will not slip straight, and if the person does not repair it, it will be very good!

The system is such a thing, if you don't hit the roof for three days, you haven't beaten him for a few days, and you dare to provoke the majesty of the host.
