Chapter 23: The Spider
With the passage of time, Wang Xu and the cat master's physical strength has decreased significantly, although they have ventured into private houses and convenience stores to obtain water and food on several occasions, but the supplies they get are minimal, and each time they escape, it is extremely dangerous, and the zombies' encirclement operations seem to be becoming more and more efficient.
"Judging from the shelf life of these foods, it took less than two months for zombies to rule the world......" Wang Xu said as he looked at the wrapper of the chocolate bar.
"This is not the time to study the historical makeup of this mirror city." The cat master poured a sip of mineral water and said: "With the increase of game time, the monsters in the city are getting stronger and stronger, and their intelligence is gradually improving. As it stands, every one or two blocks you pass by, you will encounter a few agile zombies that can climb walls to rooftops, and it is not a way to do this in the long run, and it is difficult to predict how far the zombies will grow after dark, and our survival will be seriously threatened by then. ”
"Then hurry up, rush into Queens before dark, and there will be no zombies there." Wang Xu said.
"It's the same with the robots there, the monsters of the four worlds, the danger level should be up to date."
"Hah...... Haha......" Wang Xu laughed dryly: "I'd rather die in the hands of the Terminator......"
Master Mao sighed: "Hey...... I can't help it, although it will be a waste of time...... Let's go and complete a few levels below level B. ”
Before Wang Xu could speak, the roof where the two of them were suddenly shook violently, and then the entire building began to collapse without warning.
"It shouldn't be an earthquake...... "I have experienced too many terrorist incidents, and occasionally encountered a natural disaster, Wang Xu behaved quite calmly.
The cat master turned his head and ran again, Wang Xu followed quickly, although his feet were unstable, but the two still jumped to a nearby building without danger. For a while, the dust was so thick that people could not breathe, they could not open their eyes, and their ears were filled with the roar after a loud bang.
At this time, when the two of them were very weakly prepared, the danger was quietly approaching, and it was already close at hand.
Four or five zombies suddenly appeared in front of Wang Xu and Mao Ye, as if they had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for the two of them to jump over by themselves, and then take them down in one fell swoop.
The cat snorted coldly: "It's a trap...... forcibly lured us to jump to the roof of the building here, and laid an ambush here in advance...... "He jumped up, and with a side kick, he actually kicked the zombie in front of him to pieces, and his whole head drooped diagonally behind his shoulders, and his body then fell on its own.
Wang Xu also used scissor feet, one yang finger and other stunts, and put down two at once. After all, I have learned military fighting skills, and killing people with bare hands is still a bit of a mental obstacle, so it is not a problem to deal with a few dead people.
The last zombie still rushed forward bravely, Wang Xu and Mao Ye almost used the same action, took a step forward side by side, one person and one kick, and kicked the two kneecaps of the zombie's left and right legs.
I saw the lame zombie stumble, stumbled forward with inertia, staggered forward a few steps, involuntarily walked between the two, and fell outside the rooftop......
The cat's eyes followed the body of the zombie until it fell into the ruins of the collapsed building just now and was obliterated by smoke and dust, and then he spoke: "Down there...... What's ......."
Wang Xu replied, "I didn't see anything." He squinted, but he couldn't see what was going on beneath the ruins.
"I can't see it either, but ...... There must be something, or the building wouldn't have collapsed. ”
"Maybe it's an underground gas pipe bursting." Wang Xu said.
The cat master snorted coldly: "It's been more than two months since the extinction of the human race, where did the gas come from?" ”
"Hmm...... So what you mean, there's a kind of monster down there that can destroy the foundations of a six-story apartment in an instant? ”
Before the cat could reply, there was another loud bang in the ruins, and then, a black amputated leg covered with barbs, sharp and narrow, roughly the thickness of a lamp pole, protruded from the ground...... Then the second, the third, and the other eight legs were all sticking out of the ground, and the huge spider butt broke through the ground.
"It's only been two months since I cleaned it...... I raised a worm bigger than me...... "Wang Xu's expression can be said to be pumped.
The cat master still said with a dejected face: "It may be the leader of the wild monsters in the fire world, using brain waves or something else to control the movement of zombies, from the collapse of the building to the ambush just now, it fully shows that this guy can sense our position without sight, and it has quite a high intelligence." ”
"What do you think of this setting? The spider's venom can infect people into zombies, and then turn them into their eternal slaves. Wang Xu said.
"That's an interesting hypothesis......"
They were still chatting, and the giant spider was already crawling towards the rooftop. The huge advantage of being large is that with eight legs and two or three steps, you can basically reach the top......
Wang Xu and Mao Ye only felt a large shadow covering the afterglow of the sunset, and then, a spider leg was inserted into them. The two of them rolled out left and right, and in just a second, where they were standing just now, the concrete floor had been shattered by the spider's huge force.
"We have short legs, I guess we can't run away, is there a way to eliminate it?" Wang Xu ran quickly to dodge the attack of the spider legs.
The cat master was in a similar situation, rolling in embarrassment, and replied: "Without heavy weapons, I'm afraid it's very difficult." ”
"Hey! Where to find a heavy ...... now" Wang Xu's voice did not fall, and there was a danger again, only to hear a muffled sound of "bang" in the distance, followed by a whoosh, and in the next second, a spider leg closest to Wang Xu exploded, and the flesh and blood flew sideways and broke into two, and the lower half of the broken section was sprayed with unknown green liquid and pressed down towards Wang Xu.
He hurriedly used the ultimate dodge posture of a fish-leaping head rat to barely dodge. As soon as he stood firm, Wang Xu looked towards the source of the sound, but saw a bald man with a classic Mexican mustache half-squatting on a billboard across the street, holding a shoulder-mounted bazooka ready to fire a second shot.
This guy still left some impressions on Wang Xu, among the contestants in Times Square, he is one of the more eye-catching, but I didn't expect to meet him here again.
The cat master quickly made a judgment and responded: "Leave us alone, shoot at will!" ”
A smile appeared at the corner of the strong man's mouth: "No problem, man." He immediately fired five or six missiles in a row, and the warheads rushed towards this direction with smoke screens in tow.
Wang Xu was completely shocked, he was deeply intimidated by the spirit of "shooting at me" of the cat master, oh, to correct it, the meaning of the cat master's sentence just now should be to shoot at "us", and he never asked the consent of the party Wang Xu......
"Is there a mistake? The bazookas in the Matrix must be reloaded! You're a semi-automatic submachine gun! Wang Xu scolded in his mouth, people didn't stop, he did all kinds of unbelievable evasion actions, for a person who didn't have any superpowers, he was really powerful......
The big spider doesn't have the ability of Wang Xu, and its huge size naturally has a disadvantage, that is, if someone shoots a few missiles, you have to take a few ...... It was quickly knocked to its knees, and as it slid off the edge of the rooftop, it fell back into the pit it it had crawled out of.
Five minutes later, Wang Xu and Mao Ye were already sitting in a tank, and they were moving very smoothly towards the intersection connecting Queens.
"My name is Hama and I'm involved in the game as an advisor." The bearded bald man said as he pointed to the boy who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old who was driving the tank: "He's my buddy, Raven." ”
