Chapter 43: "Hello, See You Again......"
I don't know how long I walked in the dark and winding sewer pipe, so long that the enthusiasm of the team members at the beginning cooled down.
Si Moxue felt that the surrounding environment had changed, and the wind blowing from the end of the pipe carried a special smell, which was indescribable.
It smelled sticky, with the dampness of some kind of animal that lived underground, mixed with the smell of dirt and blood, and the bitterness of the chemical agents.
When the crowd came to the end, there was a circular sewer opening without a lid on top, and from there the light shone on everyone's faces, and suddenly it became clear.
Si Moxue heard someone swallow a mouthful of saliva loudly - they had already reached the end of the sewer pipe, and they didn't know what they would see after climbing out of the narrow opening above?
"Whew-"
Si Tank extinguished the flashlight, climbed the rusty escalator on the side wall with both hands, and exhaled: "I'll go up first......"
With that, he kept his movements and waited for a moment - as he expected, no one offered to help him with this "outstanding" thing.
Tank took a deep breath and stepped on the first bar of the ladder, then the second.
The ladder, which has not been maintained for a long time, has rotted inside, and it makes a toothache "creaking" sound under the weight, as if it will collapse at any time.
Step by step, the tank stepped on the hearts of the team members, and some of them hoped that the escalator would collapse and cut off their way to continue exploring; He hoped that the tank would climb up, and then told them that the missing team members were outside.
Si Moxue didn't have so many twists and turns in her heart, she just half-tilted her head and watched Si Tank climb up the escalator.
Cautiously and cautiously, he climbed to the top of the escalator, carefully poked out half of his head, revealing only a pair of eyes, and quietly looked around—
They had left the ruins of the city and were beneath the half-collapsed corner at the other end of the ruins.
Tank nodded downward, indicating that there was no danger to the accident. Then he climbed out of the sewer opening, crouched to the side with the knife at his waist, and waited for the team to step on the escalator in turn.
As soon as Si Moxue climbed out of the sewer pipe, she felt that the air around her was filled with the bitter smell of industrial chemical reagents.
"Here it is...... Chemical? Liang Wenruo raised his hand and fanned it in front of his nose, and asked with bated breath
No one answered, the smell of chemicals in the air was so strong that even the most obtused hybrids in the group could smell it.
A large hole was revealed in one side of the collapsed wall, which opened to the inside of the factory. The cave was pitch black, and I didn't know what was hidden.
"Do you want to go in?"
People ask each other with their eyes.
"Come in, I've groped all the way here, and it's really unreasonable not to go in and see."
Someone answered with a look in his eyes.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on the tank in front of him - to enter, or not to enter?
Standing in the eyes of everyone with different expressions, Si Tan gritted his teeth: "...... Enter, in groups of three, everyone follows, don't fall behind. ”
As soon as I walked into the cave, the darkness instantly engulfed everyone like a tide.
But the crowd did not dare to turn on the flashlight, for fear of alarming the hunter who did not know where to hide.
In this way, like a blind man touching an elephant, a few people moved forward little by little by the dim glimmer of light reflected from nowhere.
All the way was peaceful, until the crunch sound of something being trampled under the feet of the person in front.
Suddenly, a few blue points of light lit up in the darkness around them.
Nine: "......"
Someone turned on the flashlight tremblingly, shaking his hands and shining forward—
The roofs and walls were crawling with dense giant mutant spiders, all the size of doorways, with thick and long chelicerae clutching at the walls, and eight eyes the size of human fists staring at the uninvited guests at the door, huge mouthparts opening and closing.
On the ground, there are layers of large white eggs, the small ones are shaped like eggs, and the big ones are comparable to basketballs.
…… Rub, I touched someone's hatchery.
The mutant spiders were illuminated by the flashlight, and they quickly moved their chelicerae and fell from the walls and ceilings.
"Run—"
I don't know who shouted first, everyone turned around and ran, regardless of whether there were other spiders in front of them - the main thing was that there were too many big spiders in this room!
The shouting team member saw that the others had already run away, but he was left behind, and hurriedly ran after the team member closest to him.
"Da, bang, bang."
Behind him, there was the sound of a spider's massive belly hitting the ground as it landed, followed by the sound of chelicerae rubbing against each other as they moved rapidly.
"Click......"
The dense and compact friction sound followed like a shadow, and the air seemed to resonate because of this friction sound, reaching the ears of the people running ahead, as if a spider was around, making people's scalp tingle for a while.
It turns out that when the number of sound sources reaches a certain level, people simply cannot tell where the sound is coming from and how far away.
In the darkness, Si Moxue ran wildly with the light of the flashlight, and had no time to take care of the surroundings, running wherever the "click" friction sound was small. Unknowingly, he left the large army, ran up another fork in the road, and ran into another room.
In the room, cocoon-like objects wrapped in spider silk hung from the ceiling and were quietly arranged.
With some doubts, Si Moxue turned around to make sure that there was no spider chasing after her for the time being, grabbed a cocoon, and cut the spider silk with the knife she carried with her.
Spider silk is generally divided into two types, one is sticky and the other is non-sticky. Sticky spider silk is often used to weave into cobwebs, and it is difficult for passing animals to break free once they get wet.
These cocoons were all made of spider silk that was not sticky, so Si Moxue easily cut them with a knife.
As soon as the cocoon was cut open, a dead man who had been sucked into a dried corpse fell out.
Although in the last days, Si Moxue is used to seeing dead people, she still doesn't like it. She glanced at the dead man on the ground, lost interest, and got up to leave.
When she was about to walk out of the room, she was suddenly stunned, and immediately turned around, staring at a cocoon by the door—if she was not mistaken, the cocoon seemed to have moved.
Could it be that there is a living creature in it?
Will it be a living person?
Suspiciously, the huge cocoon twitched again, as if something was struggling to get out of it.
Si Moxue turned on the flashlight, and the outer layer of the cocoon skin became translucent under the strong light, and the shadow was enough to see the inside of the cocoon...... It's a figure.
Whether it's a person or not, just open it and see it-Si Moxue held the giant cocoon and slashed it with a knife in her right hand.
Link didn't know what was going on, he remembered that he had just been sleeping in the camp tent, and then he felt a tingling pain in his lower back, and then he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was wrapped in this black, rumbling cocoon.
Anyone? Help me!
Link wanted to shout, but his voice seemed to be out of his control, and he let his head scream wildly, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat.
I don't know how long I've been in the cocoon, Link is about to accept his fate. During this time, he faintly heard the sound of something dragging on the ground, as if something was being dragged in, hung up, and something dragged out.
Alas, I guess it's an unlucky person like myself!
After another unknown amount of time, Link felt as if his body had recovered a little, and he tried to move his hands and feet, although he was still weak, but he was able to listen to himself.
Just when he was about to quietly move his hands and feet to escape from this cocoon.
"Smack-"
The sound of a heavy object falling on the ground.
Another unlucky guy is going to be dragged out.
Link immediately didn't dare to move, lying straight in the cocoon like a dead corpse, for fear that he would be chosen.
After a while, the sound stopped, and Link began to struggle again.
Oh, where did the light come from.
A white light shone in through the cocoon.
Could it be that he moved too obviously and was targeted?
Don't! I don't want to die yet.
Seeing the white light getting closer and closer, he felt weightless, and he fell from mid-air.
It is no exaggeration to say that Link felt a surge of urine very clearly and clearly at that time. Fortunately, he immediately saw that it was Si Moxue standing in front of him, and he forcibly held back his urine.
Seeing that his face was white, Si Moxue made a lewd action of hunching his waist and legs as soon as he landed, and immediately frowned: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Link lay on the ground, and after confirming that the urine was held back, in order to hide his embarrassment, he reluctantly raised his head and greeted Si Moxue: "Hello, meet again......"
