Chapter 6: Spiders
From the time a gunshot rang out in the North City to now, a full three hours have passed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was an unprovoked and chaotic night, and by this time, it was impossible to tell which direction the gunfire was coming from, and the gunfire around the city was accompanied by the roar of tank guns or bazookas.
In the middle of the city, it was like a battlefield, filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and the fire in the darkness in the distance showed that the fierce fighting between the army and the invaders had reached a fever pitch, and the helicopter gunships were constantly flying over the city like anxious flies.
There were also the police, who seemed to have been dispatched all over the city, and even more rarely, they were collectively armed, not only handguns that they carried with them, but also medium-sized weapons such as blast shotguns, which were also removed from the arsenal.
In the summer, the sound of guns and cannons inferred that the military was retreating, having retreated from the suburbs to close to the core of the city, and it was really unknown whether they would survive the battle in a hurry.
Reality is more exciting than the Internet, and in the summer, I don't have the heart to read what others say on the forums or the latest developments in other cities.
Disaster is imminent, and Summer's eyes don't dare to leave the street outside the window at all, and the hand that clutches the steel spear has long been soaked with sweat, and as an otaku who has no combat experience, he has no idea what a real battle looks like, and he doesn't know what the enemy looks like.
Suddenly, the sound of a high-end sports car can be heard in the distance of the street.
He was familiar with the sound of the old buildings he lived in in the summer because of the proximity to the streets, and often sounded in the dead of night, when it was some rich son and grandson who liked to roar through the city at night with scantily clad girls in their cars.
Summer has never heard of the news that these rich second generations have been caught or punished, maybe their parents are big people with hands and eyes.
It's just that I didn't expect that in the summer, at this juncture, this rich second generation who doesn't know life and death would dare to come out and wander? Could it be that the pleasure of pretending to be forced is more important than their lives?
Several policemen walked to the middle of the road with flashlights and stretched out their hands to stop the white Porsche coming from the opposite side, but the arrogant sports car suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to rush through the gate.
Summer's eyes were completely drawn to the sports car and the police, and just when he wondered whether the police should give way or the rich second generation obediently parked, an amazing scene happened.
As everyone was paying attention to the sports cars on the street, no one noticed that a huge figure in the darkness was approaching quickly, and instead of walking down the street, he was crawling along the façade of an office building, his big spurted feet firmly grasping the concrete wall.
Coming to the side of the street, the monster jumped hard and pounced from the air!
Under the dim street lamp, I saw it in summer, it was a spider, a gray fluffy spider, with a body and long legs, more than two meters!
Puff~
The nearest policeman was directly pounced on by the big spider, and his arm was inserted into the policeman's chest like a spear, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the policeman's mouth and wounds.
Although Summer was ready for battle, when the big spider suddenly appeared, he still shuddered, and the steel javelin in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The big spider is so terrifying!
He may have fought with the army before, and he had a lot of holes on his body that had been pierced by automatic rifles, and he was dripping with a green, disgusting liquid.
The spider lowered its head and tore at the policeman with its huge mouthparts, biting off the policeman's neck in one bite, and then he wanted to drag his prey into the darkness in the shade to eat.
At this time, a man and a woman in the white Porsche sports car were probably also frightened, and they forgot to brake and rushed straight up!
Bang~
The sports car crashed into the air with the arrested policeman and the spider!
The massive impact caused the stunned cops to react, and they all pulled out their guns and shot wildly at the half-dead spider, which appeared to be dead, leaving only its long legs twitching nervously.
Several policemen dragged the bloody young man who had been hit in the Porsche sports car down, pressed him to the ground and beat him violently, until the limping exposed girl who was also hit came to plead for mercy, and several policemen stopped.
Now, the arrested policeman is dead, the big gray spider is also dead, the rich second generation who drives a Porsche is sitting on the ground with straight eyes, and his girlfriend is holding him and crying.
In the summer, I saw the policemen shivering and taking out their cigarettes, scattering around, and the hand holding the lighter trembled so much that it took a lot of effort to light the cigarette, and then looked at the corpse of his companion, smoking desperately, and the gun in his hand became tighter and tighter.
By this time, there were no more people watching the excitement on the streets, and just now they had taken the warnings of the police very seriously, but now they were like a swarm of panicked ants, crawling towards the house, desperately closing all the doors and windows, hiding in their rooms and shivering.
If you don't see the coffin, you don't cry, probably that's what you're talking about.
It didn't take long for people's curiosity about the sound of gunfire to turn into prayers, and even the most rebellious people were praying at this moment that the army would be able to hold the line.
The guns rang out all night, and everyone was terrified all night, and this city, this country, this planet, had no sleep tonight...
......
By the wee hours of the morning, the gunfire had finally thinned out, and it was not known if it was a sign that the insect tide had receded, or if the army had run out of ammunition.
In the summer, when I had been guarding the window and holding spears, I saw soldiers with automatic rifles on their backs rushing from the west of the city where the garrison was located, through the city center, to the suburbs.
Automatic rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket artillery, grenades, bullets, mortars, were frantically sent to the battlefield by carts, presumably the garrison had already moved all the old books out of the ammunition depot.
In fact, the summer was lucky, although the neighborhood he rented was dilapidated, but it was located in the middle of the city, and the spider broke through the defense line and killed the city center all night, and the neighborhood where he lived in the summer was not affected by the war.
Before dawn, a large number of people in pajamas and cloaks were seen fleeing from the suburbs to the city center, and under the arrangement of the police, they temporarily lived in office buildings, gymnasiums, schools and other public buildings that were originally used for offices.
By the dawn of the morning sun on the city that had survived the catastrophe, the gunfire had finally stopped completely, and it seemed that those terrifying spiders were a dark species that would not attack during the day, and the fragile humans had twelve precious hours, followed by a long night.
Cha~
In the summer, he tore open a pound of plastic skin containing plastic ham and chewed it heavily, he was so nervous that he lay on the window and did not eat or drink, and did not feel hungry until this moment.
I turned on my laptop and carefully checked the battle situation tonight, and the rough results made Summer gasp.
He was right not to choose to hide in the countryside, and overnight, almost all the towns and villages in Huaxia had already been declared to have fallen, or lost contact due to the loss of communications, and as for those remote and weak villages, it was even more conceivable.
Slightly larger cities have been able to survive last night's catastrophe because of the presence of many garrisons nearby, relying on the strength of the military, but there are still more than thirty regional cities with less strong defenses that have been captured by the crazy spider swarm.
Through the photos uploaded by good netizens, the summer saw large scorched earth and piles of corpses, and the number of dead and injured could not be counted at all.
"It's only the first day of the end of the world..."Summer felt a chill in her back and muttered quietly.
