And looking at Cheng Li, there were still many white worms crawling all over her body.

Although Chu Liang was somewhat reluctant, he absolutely dared not step forward at this moment.

"There should still be hope."

Although by this time, many maggots had burrowed into Cheng Li's skin and flesh, and were crawling rampantly inside her body.

At this point, the most direct way to treat Cheng Li would be to use her hands to forcefully pry the worms out of her body.

After all, Cheng Li seemed completely unaware of the pain she was experiencing.

But for Gu Xinghe, who possesses the Red Jade Spider, the best method is naturally to let the Red Spider eat all the worms inside Cheng Li's body.

Just like they had done with their temporary housing, they used spider silk to "glue" the broken pieces back together.

At this moment, after receiving Gu Xinghe's summons, the Crimson Jade Spider finally arrived in the room.

For the red jade spider, this period of time, from last night to the entire day today...

It had been foraging for food in the uninhabited houses of the town.

Like the house where Gu Xinghe and his group lived, most of the empty houses in this town had been turned into insect nests.

The red jade spider, on the other hand, did the same thing as before: clean up all the insects in the house.

Then they use their own silk to support the house, transforming it back into their nest.

Thanks to the red jade spider's efforts throughout the day, many houses in the town have been cleaned of insects, which have become nesting seeds.

Furthermore, there is a subtle trend that the houses it has occupied could be connected together to form a large network once again.

The swarm of insects behind the scenes, along with the suddenly emerging red jade spiders, are constantly taking over their "territory" in the town.

This gave Gu Xinghe a sudden feeling that the entire town was a chessboard, with the insect swarm and spiders divided and each occupying a territory.

But at this moment, the Red Jade Spider, having received Gu Xinghe's new orders, had already begun a new round of hard work—

Clean the worms out of Cheng Li's body.

After repeated cleaning, its movements have clearly become quite skillful.

Clearly, the Red Jade Spider uses the same tactics regardless of whether its target is a house or a real person.

It manipulated Cheng Li's body with its spider silk, and then pulled out the maggots from her body, including the top of her head.

They used spider silk to directly repair the shattered flesh and blood vessels inside her body, which had already been destroyed by maggots.

It was as if the needle and thread were stitching up Cheng Li's tattered insides, using spider silk to support the existence of the broken flesh and blood.

But for Cheng Li at this moment, what Red Spider was doing to her was digging open her flesh and then directly and brutally repairing it.

However, she still seemed to feel nothing as before, as if the pain was not in her body.

During this process, the red jade spider also took the opportunity to remove the maggots that were still clinging to Fang Jie's dead body.

She also ate the tiny, hard-to-find parasitic eggs that were nesting in her body.

All that remained was her now-cratered corpse, riddled with small holes.

Although the current Red Spider can also directly manipulate this body using the implanted spider silk.

But for Gu Xinghe, the death of his body, from which he has completely lost himself, also means that he needs to separate his consciousness to take control of it.

In retrospect, it seems that there is not much point in him controlling such a moving "zombie".

But if he says that, can he still pretend to be a necromancer in the future?

However, Gu Xinghe, who wasn't particularly interested in this, only wanted to study his bombs and medicines properly.

At this moment, after being repaired by the Red Jade Spider, Cheng Li still retained her consciousness as a human being.

However, the large amount of spider silk implanted in her body that sustained her survival also made her subject to the control of the Crimson Jade Spider.

For Gu Xinghe, this probably means... his family's family?

"Thank you... thank you all."

At this moment, Cheng Li blinked as if waking from a dream, and was surprised to find that the worms that had burrowed into her body earlier were all gone.

Only the stitches and creases on her body and the numerous holes in her clothes told her that her previous memories were not illusions.

After being "repaired" by the Red Jade Spider, Cheng Li now had her original shoulder-length black hair and fair skin.

This is further enhanced by the faint "sewing lines" visible on her arms and other exposed skin.

It gives the impression of a doll with a slightly eerie and terrifying aura.

For Cheng Li at this time, the implantation of spider silk in her body did not mechanically imprint the idea of ​​a so-called "master" into her body.

Instead, it subtly influences her thinking, making her feel close to Gu Xinghe and the Red Jade Spider from the very beginning.

And finally, completely transform her into their shape.

At the same time, the spider silk implanted in her body can also serve as a vessel to directly control her body.

But for Gu Xinghe, Cheng Li was no longer of any help to him at this point.

But he could treat his "eyes," which he had sent out to develop freely, in the same way that Eris had treated him before.

When the time comes, these relatives scattered in various places will be gathered together.

At this moment, after following Gu Xinghe's instructions to pull Cheng Li back from the brink of death.

The Crimson Jade Spider has once again vanished without a trace.

Then it continued its nightly overtime life of "fighting for territory" with the swarm's mastermind in the town, turning more houses into its nest.

On the other side, Chu Liang was more afraid of Fang Jie's riddled corpse.

Cheng Li, who had already been repaired and modified by the Red Jade Spider, did not feel any discomfort.

Simply put, it's vaguely developing in a direction that's "no longer human".

But at this moment, even if Cheng Li felt no discomfort towards Fang Jie's corpse in the room.

Given the state of the room, and the fact that Gu Xinghe had simply kicked open the door and barged in, the situation was quite alarming.

Therefore, this room is clearly not suitable for Cheng Li to continue living in.

After following Gu Xinghe and Chu Liang to the house where they lived.

Cheng Li, who was transformed from a red jade spider, immediately sensed the dense spider silk supporting the house.

While she felt a sense of closeness to him, the fact that she was living under the same roof as Gu Xinghe clearly made Cheng Li equally happy.

With Gu Xinghe's tacit approval, Cheng Li then moved the long bench from the living room into the room.

And then, it became what it is today—

The three of them slept in one room, with Gu Xinghe having the large bed all to himself, accompanied by two long benches on one side.
