On a suburban road not far from the city, a man and a spider hid in the grass by the roadside, looking furtively at the city ahead.
"Xiaobai, what's the situation?"
Beibei on Xiaobai suddenly asked.
"Spicy strips, lots of spicy strips, countless spicy strips..."
Xiaobai was looking at the city ahead at this time, his purple eyes kept scanning the city, and the spider mouth under him had begun to drool.
It was because in her sight, the city in front of her could no longer be called a city, because whether it was on the buildings, the streets, or even the sewers, they were all covered with strips of phosphorescence. They spit out scarlet apricots, wandering in the streets and alleys, penetrating every pore.
These strange snakes densely covered the entire city! The original appearance of the city was completely lost. It had completely turned into a snake nest!
Looking from the air, the whole city looks like a black tide, still surging!
"So what should we do?"
Beibei's eyesight couldn't see that far. She only saw the dark mass of the city in front of her, with phosphorescence flashing constantly.
Xiaobai thought for a moment. She didn't sense any danger in the city, but the enemy's numbers were indeed too great. Although it didn't pose much of a threat to Xiaobai, it was a bit too much for Beibei.
"Xiaobai, are those snakes leaving?"
Seeing that Xiaobai was still thinking, Beibei asked uncertainly, because in her vision, the dark mass in the city seemed to be fading away, revealing the original appearance of the buildings.
"Um?"
Hearing Beibei's words, Xiaobai quickly looked over and saw that the snakes in the city were indeed moving in one direction. What was going on? The spicy snack that was about to be eaten was about to escape!?
This won’t do! Xiaobai immediately thought of a solution and said to Beibei, “I’ll eat in the front, and you pick up the leftovers in the back. Don’t run into the spicy strips.”
Beibei was stunned by Xiaobai's words for a moment. She couldn't believe it was possible, and then nodded to show that she understood.
So, Xiaobai and Beibei quickly rushed towards the group of snakes running away in front...

Under the somewhat dim sky, towering walls stand tall, with barbed wire wrapped around the outer walls, as if to block all invading enemies.
From afar, the entire city was surrounded by these high walls. Atop them, teams of soldiers patrolled the area. Besides the patrolling soldiers, two more soldiers stood guard every few meters. Beneath them, heavy machine guns were mounted. The dark gun ports pointed outward, the barrels gleaming with a merciless cold light.
At regular intervals behind the high wall, there were watchtowers erected. Soldiers on top of them, armed with binoculars, vigilantly observed the situation outside the wall. Beside the observing soldiers, crouched snipers holding sniper rifles.
This defense is so strict and guarded to the extreme. I wonder what kind of powerful enemy can make the people inside the wall so prepared...
Inside the tents of the camp, figures stood one after another, making the tent seem a little crowded. They all had their noses and mouths tightly closed, their faces solemn, and the scene seemed a little heavy.
In front of everyone stood a table piled high with various documents. A white-haired, bespectacled old man gazed solemnly at the letters in his hands, his brow furrowed. The corners of the letters were stained with crimson blood, emitting a fishy odor.
After a long while, the white-haired old man slowly put down the report in his hand and sighed dejectedly. He looked at the people standing in front of him and asked in a dull tone, "How are the preparations going..."
Everyone in front of him is a leader in charge of various aspects in the Jiangcheng base. They gathered here today because something big is going to happen.
Hearing the white-haired old man's question, a man standing in the front row began to respond.
"The work of appeasing the masses is underway, but some of the unrest has subsided..."
The man's words were like a prelude, and then the people around him began to report the situation.
"Defenses have been completed, equipment and personnel are in place..."
"The mobilization for battle has been completed, and the personnel recruitment has basically been incorporated..."
"Intelligence has been confirmed. We are completely surrounded..."
After everyone finished their reports, the white-haired old man nodded slowly and stood up from his seat, his expression still heavy.
"Everyone... As you all know, this is a battle of life and death. For the sake of your family, friends, and loved ones, so that you can live to enjoy the sunshine tomorrow, use all your strength and fight for a glimmer of hope in this difficult situation..."
…………
The storm is coming...
Night hadn't fallen yet, but the sky was eerie. Layers of dark clouds covered the entire sky, seemingly blocking out the last rays of light.
The sky was dark and oppressive, a sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe. A bleak wind blew through the streets, stirring up fallen leaves. On the dim streets, pedestrians hurried, their faces filled with panic. A heavy atmosphere permeated the entire city.
"Yes, yes! It's over there! Hurry up!"
From the high walls, the sounds of busy soldiers could be heard from time to time, and figures moved back and forth. Each one was tense and solemn, busy organizing their equipment.
Lin Qifeng stood on the high wall, looking at the dark clouds gathering in the distance, his brows furrowed.
Three days ago, a large number of snakes invaded the east and south urban areas of Jiangcheng, destroying the new base they had built with great difficulty, and the remaining survivors were forced back into the city.
At first they thought it was just an ordinary attack and were discussing countermeasures, but suddenly they discovered that countless swarms of snakes had surrounded the entire center of Jiangcheng, as if it was a premeditated hunt.
The advance troops trying to break out were completely annihilated by the massive snake swarm! Consequently, the higher-ups had no choice but to withdraw all personnel deployed around Jiangcheng, sending only a small number of personnel to explore a possible route out. However, the intelligence they received back was hopeless...
"Are we going to die here?"
Li Qin, who was standing next to Lin Qifeng, spoke calmly, as if asking and answering herself, as if the result was already clear.
"Maybe..."
The two of them stared at the distant sky, their expressions indifferent, as if they had already become indifferent to life and death. In this apocalyptic world, they were both people without worries, just struggling to survive.
But unlike the two of them, there were three people standing on the high wall not far from them. They looked determined and ready for battle.
"Ayun..."
Zhang Chu murmured someone's name, with a look of sadness in his eyes...
“It’s really gone…?”
Yang Yu looked at Xiao Ming beside him with a hint of expectation on his face and asked.
Xiao Ming did not answer him, but shook his head slowly with a gloomy face.
"Grass!"
Yang Yu punched the wall in front of him hard, his face full of anger!
