Of course, Zero is at the forefront of the team with several bigwigs, and he rarely offers to lead the way for the Combine Army, as one of the people who knows the internal environment of the ruins best, Zero definitely has this qualification, or he is the most suitable leader!

Several bigwigs didn't have any reason to refuse, after all, in their opinion, the internal map of the entire third layer of the ruins was drawn with the help of Zero, and it was better for him to lead the way than for his own people to break indiscriminately.

In fact, Zero just felt that it was safer to stay with those big guys than to be killed by the spider swarm at any time with the soldiers, and of course, more importantly, he really had a detailed map of the inside of the lair! (Please see below for how to obtain the map.)

With the lead party, the rest of the party was much simpler, and the whole team avoided all kinds of wrong forks and went straight to the area closest to the brood.

Occasionally, giant spider cocoons began to appear in the wide nest, some of them were even a person tall, and some of the cocoons were still shaking slightly, and when a search party led by Sergeant Allen was rescued from the cocoon, Zero knew that the target of his collection mission was not far from him!

As the whole team got closer to the brood, the number of spider cocoons gradually increased, but not many soldiers could be rescued alive, some of the shaking cocoons were even captured bats or newly hatched spiders, and Amadeus specially arranged a team of soldiers to be responsible for breaking those cocoons.

Under Zero's silence, the team quietly passed through the end of a passage to the edge of an underground cavern the size of a football field, and there seemed to be an illuminated ancient device still in operation on the roof, illuminating the entire brood area as bright as day.

There are dozens of equally dark caves around the cave, and occasionally there are some large spiders with cocoons in their mouths and milky white all over their bodies.

Seeing the shaking cocoons, Zero guessed that they were the Modern Legionnaires who had been operating with Sergeant Allen before, and the spiders who had returned to their nests seemed to be coming back soon!

Thousands of slightly swaying cocoons under the cave all stand on a layer of white spider webs laid on the ground, and more than a hundred milky white spiders shuttle through them to carry the work.

As soon as Zero, who came back from his shock, looked up and saw a huge web hanging above the cave, and the cobwebs seemed to have countless bunches of huge white grapes, which even looked crystal clear under the illumination of the lighting facilities!

Zero knew that those were the eggs laid by Mother Spider, and that the cocoons below must be food for the baby spiders that were about to hatch! Very fresh food!

Zero, who was leading the way in front of the team, carefully retreated from the edge of the cave and signaled the team to stop moving forward and forbid everyone to make noises, and after resting in place, several bigwigs also retreated to his side.

When they saw the dense cocoons on the ground, the cold sweat on the back of their heads came down, and the expressions of the big guys after seeing the terrifying creatures walking on the huge spider webs above their heads were quite wonderful.

A huge spider with a body size of more than 10 meters is cruising back and forth on the large web above their heads, its whole body is black and red, there are several blood-red zebra-shaped lines on its abdomen, and the eight single eyes on its head are shining with scarlet light, and its barbed feet are walking on the spider web as if walking on the ground, which shows how tough this web is!

The mother spider has a layer of chitin carapace growing outside her body, which can reflect a metal-like luster, and her slightly open mouthparts are covered with fangs, not to mention swallowing a person, even if it is a cow, it is not a problem to swallow such a huge mouth.

The milky white saliva dripping from the mouthparts falls on the cocoon below, but when it falls on the bare black ground, it will make a "squeak" sound after being corroded by strong acid, and Zero even guesses that the bottom of the cave in front of him may have been melted by the corrosive saliva of the mother of spiders for a long time!

The only thing Zero is thankful for is that it seems that these spiders have not evolved completely enough, these obviously mutated creatures do not have auditory organs, otherwise the movement they have made along the way would have been enough for them to die ten times.

Everyone who accompanied a few bigwigs to stare at the mother of spiders in the spider web felt that Alexander, the terrifying creature in front of him was completely beyond the ability of ordinary soldiers to deal with, and the weak quantity was useless in the face of absolute mass, and their standard firearms were estimated to not even be able to penetrate the exoskeleton carapace of the mother spider.

Zero, who was looking down at the cocoons, seemed to have found something, patted the shoulder of a big guy next to him and pointed to a particularly large cocoon, and when everyone looked over, they found that someone seemed to be cursing loudly in the cocoon, and who could it be if it wasn't Sergeant Allen.

Sergeant Allen, entangled in spider silk, is furious, and after being blocked by a giant spider, he experiences a fierce battle... Well, in fact, when I was confronting a giant spider, I was bitten by an enemy hiding in the shadows, and I was in a state of fighting in the street in an instant...

The large spiders lurking around took advantage of Sergeant Allen's paralysis and inability to move to wrap his silk into a large cocoon, and they happily brought him back to the nest.

After a period of time, Sergeant Allen slowly recovered with his strong physical fitness, and when he found out about his situation, he kept scolding.

Zero didn't dare to rush into the bottom of the cave, this is the nest of the mother spider, God knows what traps will be placed in it, bullying spiders for not hearing is fine, but if you treat them as fools, prepare to be food!

It is clear from the literature that the Mother Spider is a high-level creature with intelligence, and her intelligence even surpasses that of most ordinary people!

(As an aside, according to the information I consulted, the leaders of creatures with swarm consciousness are very high, for example, the IQ of the alien queen has reached more than 170, so why are we scumbags!) Well? Why are you saying this here? Of course, I will use it in the future, lest I forget it! ）

Suddenly, the cocoon at the bottom of a karst cave shook violently, and the action of this cocoon immediately attracted the attention of several bigwigs and Zero.

I saw a modern soldier who looked like he was struggling with his muscles and used the dagger he carried with him to break the cocoon that wrapped around him from the inside, and he was looking around with a frightened expression!

When he found several bigwigs hiding on the edge of the cave, he naturally knew that the large force of the Combine Army was over there, but when he raised his head and saw the terrifying huge spider above his head, his heart immediately cooled!

At this time, a milky white spider patrolling the cocoon has spotted him and is already running towards him with a stout step, what choice will the modern soldier make?
