Chapter 4
While the other party was looking at him, Wen Bei was also observing him, feeling slightly surprised.
The man in front of him was tall and handsome, but his right eye, which was black, ruined his good looks and made him look a bit evil.
The words of the rabbit butler echoed in his mind.
In this world, even newborn babies will be contaminated in the womb. There is no human with zero pollution, so everyone will have some changes.
For ordinary people, this level of pollution will cause changes in their hair or pupil color. For people with high pollution levels, the deformed features may become more obvious, such as growing an extra hand or several pairs of ears.
The man in front of him not only had a deep black in his right eye, but also some black veins around his right eye socket, extending from his right temple to his neck and down, which was wrapped by his clothes.
Ji Mingyuan's inner surprise was no less than his: "Double black..."
He was in a trance for a moment.
It has been a long time since I have seen a "pure human" like Wen Bei. Only in my memories can I see such companions who have no signs of infection.
The black hair and black eyes that were common before the end of the world have now become a unique style that is out of reach of others.
But how is it possible that there are still uninfected humans in this world?
The distortion must have occurred somewhere he couldn't see.
For example, the skin covered by clothes may have scales somewhere.
Black hair and black eyes is probably just a strange enough coincidence.
Ji Mingyuan thought about this and finally came back to his senses: "Hello, my name is Ji Mingyuan, and I came from the H City base."
He stared at Wen Bei closely, trying to see the fluctuations on his face.
Although Wen Bei's timely opening of the door had already made him rule out the possibility that he was from the Wanhui Sect, the sudden appearance of a seemingly harmless human being in such a place was still enough to make him alert.
Wen Bei remained calm: "Oh, I'm the owner of a nearby hotel."
"What?" Ji Mingyuan suspected for a moment that he was hallucinating because the pollution level was too high.
It has been five years since the apocalypse. Even if there used to be a hotel nearby, it would have been destroyed thousands of times.
Wen Bei didn't explain much: "You are welcome to visit my hotel, but let's solve the problem at hand first."
He raised his chin towards the group of belly-faced spider larvae outside that were eager to come in, revealing a slightly distressed expression.
These belly-faced spider larvae were newly born and had not yet eaten, so they were unable to spit out saliva like strong sulfuric acid. However, their low attack power could not withstand their large numbers.
Moreover, the remaining belly-faced spider eggs in the playground have begun to hatch gradually. In just a few dozen minutes, there will be hundreds or even thousands of belly-faced spiders here, and this iron gate will not be able to hold up at all.
A single bite from the spider could kill them both.
Wen Bei observed these monsters through a small gap and found that there was a human face under their abdomen, with expressions of crying, anger or fear, like evil spirits from hell.
Ji Mingyuan glanced at him and said, "This is a Ventral Face Spider. Every spider is born with a human head as its nutrition."
In other words, every human face attached to them now once belonged to a vibrant student or teacher of this middle school.
Wen Bei felt a little chilly.
"I really want to see what the parents who made these disgusting little things look like."
Ji Mingyuan thought thoughtfully: "Maybe we can see it soon."
Wen Bei's cat-like eyes, with the corners of their eyes slightly raised, showed a rare look of astonishment:?
Ji Mingyuan took him to the back of the dormitory building: "Before I came here, I wanted to find the mother body and die together. It is in this school."
Wenbei: “…”
He showed a doting expression: "I don't want to listen, you are just talking in anger."
The eagle that Ji Mingyuan had just released came back again.
His expression turned serious: "Found it, in the teaching building."
He turned around and saw Wen Bei walking upstairs.
Ji Mingyuan was puzzled for a moment: "What do you want to do?"
Wenbei: “Of course it’s a strategic retreat.”
It was the first time that he saw someone talk about escaping so righteously, and the usually calm Ji Mingyuan was speechless for a long time.
"Go ahead, I'll go find it."
"Are you going to self-destruct?" Wen Bei raised his eyebrows.
He is good-looking and his gesture doesn't seem provocative.
Ji Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then looked at his bracelet and said, "Yes."
Wen Bei followed his gaze and looked at the bracelet.
In fact, Ji Mingyuan's bracelet had been constantly sounding alarms since the two of them met, but he was considerate enough not to ask.
"Attention—attention—the contamination level in your body has reached a critical point of 95. You are five points away from becoming filth. Please accept control and stay away from the base."
This is the "notification" from this monitoring bracelet.
Everyone who is born in the base must wear this ring. Some wear it on their hands, some on their feet. Without exception, they are all monitored for pollution levels at all times.
The countdown to death follows you at all times.
To put it nicely, it means accepting control and staying away from the base. To put it bluntly, it means asking every polluter who is at high risk of becoming filth to commit suicide.
After all, in this world, even the most powerful polluter would not survive long without the protection of the base.
What they face is not only the scarcity of food and water, but also the constant attack of filth.
Ji Mingyuan's tone suddenly became relaxed: "You heard it too, I just want my death to be meaningful."
Behind the ease is the sad twilight of the hero.
But he is still so young.
Wen Bei stared at him for a moment. "Even if your self-explosion kills the mother, so many hatchlings will still pose a threat to the base you mentioned."
Ji Mingyuan's head began to ache again, and the desire to destroy in his heart began to clamor. He suppressed the discomfort and asked: "What do you mean?"
Wen Bei suddenly laughed. When he laughed, his cat-like eyes became curved, as if the starry sky had fallen into his eyes, dazzling to the extreme: "What I mean is, I have a way to help you kill them all."
...
Following the backyard of the dormitory, they ran from the back door all the way towards the teaching building.
There were more and more spider silks along the way, and they were sticking to the soles of their shoes, indicating that they were not taking the wrong path.
Ji Mingyuan followed Wen Bei's instructions and walked directly along the path with the most spider silk. Finally, when he was stuck and couldn't move, he successfully saw the mother of the belly-faced spider.
The mother was much larger than the young one. Just standing there, it was nearly three meters tall. There was not just one human face on her abdomen, but at least seven!
There are students with young faces as well as adult faculty and staff.
The moment the belly-faced spider saw him, the seven human faces actually let out painful cries in unison.
At the same time, a distorted voice sounded: "It hurts...it hurts...help!"
Seven different voices, both male and female, came out from the mother's abdomen, which was chilling just to hear.
It was as if these faces were still conscious.
“Help!”
“Save me!!”
These voices were like evil spirits demanding death, shouting at Ji Mingyuan over and over again.
And at the moment he was stunned, the belly-faced spider approached greedily and quickly, raising its limbs high and stabbing at his head.
The tip of the limb is sharper than a spear. If it is stabbed once, even the hardest skull will be pierced.
Ji Mingyuan did not give it this chance. The Black Hawk swooped down and took the attack.
With an eagle's cry, the eagle took the blow and then struck it on the head.
The belly-faced spider shrank back in pain, and the seven human faces on its abdomen all showed the same uncomfortable expression.
Ji Mingyuan took advantage of this gap to run to the playground, but unfortunately the mother spider moved much faster than he imagined. Its desire to eat people was greater than its fear, so it chased him without thinking.
On the spider silk, it is also completely unaffected by viscosity, instantly shortening the distance between the two people.
Just when he was about to be caught up, a familiar low shout came from the side, and Wen Beifeng came riding a motorcycle at lightning speed.
“Get in the car!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingyuan jumped onto the car and held on to the pole at the back to prevent himself from being thrown off.
Wenbei: "I originally wanted to go to the faculty parking lot to find a four-wheeled vehicle, but unfortunately this motorcycle was the only one that could still be driven."
He whistled, and the wind blew up the loose hair on his forehead, revealing his clear and delicate eyebrows, with the youthful vigor and recklessness that are unique to young people.
Behind them was a giant spider with a hideous face.
Ji Mingyuan's hands were almost numb from the shaking: "Can't you drive more steadily?"
For a moment, he felt that he would not die from his own explosion or from the belly-faced spider, but from his driving skills.
Wen Bei raised his voice: "Huh? This car has been left unattended for too long, the brakes and steering are no longer working!"
We should be thankful that the owner of the car died nearby with the key still inserted. He had to use a lot of force to barely get it started.
As for this loss of control, it was still within his acceptable range.
Ji Mingyuan: "......"
It's over, I got into the thief's car.
For a moment, it was unclear who was seeking death.
Even if you drive an out-of-control motorcycle across the campus, you can't stop the mother spider with the help of spider silk, and it keeps chasing you closely.
During these few minutes of extreme speed, the car had obviously reached its limit, and thick black smoke was emanating from the body of the car.
They were actually heading towards the playground.
With so many belly-faced spider larvae and the mother, even Ji Mingyuan couldn't think of a better way to catch them all except to self-destruct.
But if he self-destructs, Wen Bei will definitely not be able to escape.
With his special abilities, he could only protect himself in such a difficult situation. It was absolutely impossible for him to protect an ordinary person without special abilities.
Ji Mingyuan couldn't think of any way for Wen Bei to escape, so he could only hold on to the back seat to prevent himself from flying out at the corner ahead.
But the next second, he heard Wen Bei's even crazier words: "To the right, three, two, one—jump!"
His body moved faster than his brain. The moment the driver in front let go of his hands, Ji Mingyuan also let go and lunged to the right.
The imagined pain of falling heavily to the ground did not come, and they landed accurately on a thick layer of spider silk.
These life-threatening spider silks actually saved their lives at this critical moment.
The motorcycle drove forward for a distance and finally crashed into the wall, luckily it did not explode.
Ji Mingyuan looked at Wen Bei in disbelief: "You are really crazy."
Being able to drive an out-of-control motorcycle while judging the situation and getting two people to land safely in this situation in time, even if he is a madman, he is an extremely rational madman.
Wen Bei smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, congratulations, we are alive."
Ji Mingyuan frowned and turned back suddenly.
They unexpectedly saw the mother spider, which had just looked like it wanted to eat them, standing there in a daze as if it was stunned.
Wen Bei smiled, his dark eyes gleaming, "I bet right. I don't know if you've heard... spiders eat their own young."
