After one night’s sleep, Su Wan wakes up to find she’s transmigrated into an apocalypse novel—as the vicious side character who starts off by stealing the female lead’s space, cruelly torturing the...
Su Wan gasped in pain, and the sight of the flesh on the back of her hand melting away made her scalp tingle.
She looked up sharply.
A scarlet spider was approaching from above the broken stair railing!
"Run!" Xiao Han cursed and pulled Su Wan over.
The two men had just retreated from the basement full of ammunition and were walking up the dark and damp stairs. Before they had completely returned to the ground, they ran into the monster head-on.
At the top of the stairs, a spider slowly approached them.
This guy was several times smaller than the ones they encountered below. His entire body was scarlet, and the strange red pattern on his back flashed an ominous color in the dim light.
Eight bean-sized compound eyes, glowing faintly green, locked their eyes on them.
Su Wan's heart suddenly shrank.
This red spider might not be the largest in size, but the dangerous aura it exudes far exceeds any other one they have encountered before.
It was a murderous intent that was condensed to the extreme, making the air sticky.
"Go to hell!" Xiao Han growled, raised his gun and shot.
Most of the bullets hit the afterimage where the spider had just stayed, and only a few bullets grazed its scarlet shell, emitting sparks but failing to hurt it at all.
The spider's reaction speed was insanely fast. The moment the gun went off, its seemingly slow body shook violently, leaving an afterimage on the spot. The bullet embedded itself into the wall behind it with a "bang", stirring up a piece of rubble.
"Fuck! This thing has become a spirit!" Xiao Han's face looked grim.
Not only did the spider not retreat, but it became enraged, making a sharp "hissing" sound, and its eight long legs crossed, its speed suddenly increased, and it turned into a red shadow and pounced towards him!
"Su Wan, step back!" Xiao Han roared, and with a turn of his wrist, an invisible whirlwind suddenly formed in front of him, whistling towards Red Spider.
"squeak!"
Starscream was cut by the wind blade and let out a shrill scream. His attack was slightly delayed, but he quickly adjusted his posture. His scarlet body swayed in the wind, and his eight green eyes became more ferocious.
Wind-based abilities can only temporarily restrain the enemy!
Su Wan raised the knife and was about to attack, but the spider immediately broke free from Xiao Han's control and dodged to the side.
"Su Wan! What the hell are you doing?! Are you going to die with a knife?!" Xiao Han's forehead was bulging with veins, his voice was hoarse, and he roared: "This dog is too fast, I'll control it with my wind control! Use the gun to blow its head off! Is your knife used to scrape your nails?!"
His style is for control and restraint, not absolute killing.
"I don't know how to use it!" Su Wan yelled back.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never even touched a toy gun.
Now ask her to use a real weapon to shoot a monster as fast as a ghost at such a tense moment?
She was afraid of missing the target, wasting bullets, and even more afraid of accidentally hurting Xiao Han.
"No time! Learn!" Xiao Han roared, and fired a burst of rapid shots from the gun in his hand, trying to force the spider back.
"Safety! Push it down! Open it!"
"Pull the bolt! Pull it all the way and let go! Load the gun!"
"Raise it! Don't shake your hands! Keep three points in a straight line! Aim at its head and shoot!"
Xiao Han spoke as fast as a string of cannonballs.
Su Wan took a deep breath and took out the heavy submachine gun from the space.
His fingers were a little stiff due to nervousness, but he groped for the cold little pick and pushed it down hard.
Next was to pull the bolt. She imitated Xiao Han and used all her strength to pull it back. The first time, she only pulled it halfway because of the wrong force and angle.
"Pull harder! Pull all the way in and then let go!" Xiao Han roared.
Su Wan gritted his teeth and exerted force again. With a "click", the bolt returned to its original position and the bullet was finally loaded.
The red spider seemed to sense a new threat, and its green eyes turned towards Su Wan, revealing cold murderous intent.
It struggled violently, and tore a hole in Xiao Han's wind restraints, and its sharp claws pierced Xiao Han's side like lightning!
"Xiao Han!"
"Don't worry about me! Shoot! Shoot it!" Xiao Han roared, and leaned back in embarrassment, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. However, the spider's leg scratched his arm, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone, and blood gushed out instantly.
She raised her arm suddenly, and pointed the black muzzle of her gun at the red monster that pounced on her again. There was no time to aim, and no time to think carefully. Now!
"Go to hell, monster!" she screamed and pulled the trigger hard!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The continuous gunshots echoed wildly in the stairwell. The bullet casings fell to the ground with a clink. The smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air. She fired most of the bullets in the magazine in one breath. The muzzle of the gun shook wildly, and most of the bullets hit the walls and the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.
"Where the hell are you shooting at?!" Xiao Han covered his arm, leaned against the wall and panted heavily. His face was pale. He didn't care about his wounds and roared, "Hold on! Aim at it! Don't waste your bullets!"
The red spider was enraged by the dense gunfire, or perhaps it felt threatened. It paused its attack on Xiao Han, and with its eight green eyes full of bloodthirsty ferocity, it suddenly turned around and pounced on Su Wan! Its sharp claws flashed coldly in the dim light, bringing with them a fishy breeze, aiming directly at Su Wan's throat!
The threat of death was imminent, Su Wan's mind was blank, but her body was faster than her thoughts. She instinctively raised the muzzle of the gun, her arms trembling violently due to extreme tension, and she couldn't do the "three points and one line" at all. She just pointed at the blurred red shadow and pulled the trigger again!
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
One of the bullets grazed the spider's shell and accidentally hit one of its eight compound eyes, causing a small ball of dark green juice to burst out!
"squeak--!!"
Starscream let out an unprecedented shrill scream, his body trembled violently, and his attack stopped abruptly. Although it was not fatal, the severe pain in his eyes caused him to fall into confusion for a short time.
"Well done! Right now!" Xiao Han's eyes lit up, and he endured the severe pain and raised his hand suddenly. A wind blade condensed to the extreme suddenly took shape and shot out like a sharp arrow, fiercely slashing at the head of the Red Spider, whose movements were slow due to the injury to its eyes!
“Puff!”
The wind blade accurately cut the spider's head, and dark green and red juice mixed with brain matter instantly spurted out, staining half of the wall red. The ferocious red spider was now twitching and falling to the ground.
On its not-so-big head, there was a huge gap so deep that the bone could be seen. Its eight legs kicked around a few times before finally becoming completely motionless.
She dropped the scalding gun and rushed over to support Xiao Han. Xiao Han looked at Su Wan, then at the spider on the ground, grinned, trying to laugh but hurting his wound: "You shot randomly, but you managed to catch a dead mouse... ahem... it's still somewhat useful. Don't shoot randomly next time."
Su Wan dropped the hot gun and rushed over to support him: "How are you?"
His arm was covered in blood, and the corroded area on the back of Su Wan's hand began to turn black, with waves of numbness coming over him.
"Damn, there's something fishy about this thing's blood." Xiao Han looked at the spider corpse on the ground, then at Su Wan's hand, "We have to get out quickly."
Su Wan dug out a fist-sized crystal core from the monster's head, which was more than twice as large as the crystal core of an ordinary spider. The two found Lu Shiyan and A'mo, and Lu Shiyan was already unconscious.
The SUV's engine roared low as A'mo drove, bumping through the dim, abandoned streets.
Xiao Han leaned back in his chair, the wound on his arm still oozing blood, staining the makeshift bandage red.
Su Wan took out the first aid kit from the space and helped Xiao Han deal with it first.
The stinging sensation from the disinfectant made Xiao Han groan, and his arm muscles tensed.
Su Wan lowered her head and carefully cleaned his curled flesh, her movements were a little clumsy.
His wrist bones protruded and veins were visible beneath his skin.
After dealing with Xiao Han, Su Wan looked at the blackened back of his hand, and waves of corrosive pain came over him.
She cleaned, applied medicine and bandaged it silently.
In every dangerous situation today, she seemed so passive and powerless. Lu Shiyan was injured because of her distraction and has been in a coma ever since; Xiao Han and A'mo were also injured in order to protect her.
This is not a matter of "adding to the chaos", this is the cruel law of survival in the apocalypse.
The weak are a burden and a drag.
The space has been upgraded, the power has become stronger, so what? She doesn't even know the most basic fighting skills, and she is a mess with the gun. Even at the critical moment just now, she couldn't even do the simplest aiming. It was almost a blind cat catching a dead mouse that she escaped by luck.
No. This cannot go on.
