Chapter 175: Mutated Giant Spider Swarm



Things aren't straightforward over the phone, and many things can only be said face to face. Now that she's here, she has to do something before she leaves.

There is no rain at this time and the temperature is still terrible.

She asked the space ability user to take out the heat-resistant spray and spray the entire room, and the temperature became slightly more comfortable.

My uncle and aunt were reluctant to take off their thermostatic clothing, so they just kept it on.

Yue Xiwen stayed in the Le'an base for more than ten days and also received messages from the central base via satellite phone.

We planned to leave the day after it rained, but the gatekeeper discovered that something was wrong recently.

The guard on daily patrol stood on the observation deck, using a telescope to check for movement in the distance, and saw a black line slowly approaching from a distance.

"Am I seeing things?" He shook his head violently and put his eyes on the telescope. After a careful inspection, he found that there was a black line approaching!

Because it was too far away, he couldn't see what it was, and just joked with his companion next to him.

"You can see a black line from so far away, but you can't see what it is."

The other person also picked up the telescope in confusion and looked for a while.

The 'black line' was getting closer and closer, and the guard saw clearly that his legs went limp and he fell onto the lookout.

He saw clearly that it wasn't a black line at all. It was clearly a dense mass of mutant spiders coming towards him. There were so many of them that they formed a circle.

"Oh no, oh no! It's a beast tide! What huge spiders! Sound the alarm!"

He called on his companions to sound the alarm, while he was still on the lookout tower checking the situation with a telescope.

There are three entrances and exits in the base, and at this moment the alarms at all three entrances and exits sounded at the same time.

The sound of the alarm echoed throughout the base, and everyone heard it clearly.

"It's a level one alarm!"

The alarm levels are divided into level one, level two, level three and level four, with level one being the highest level of alarm.

"What's going on?"

Someone who had just rushed home from the base shouted in panic, "Looks like there's a beast tide! Hide!"

The onlookers were panicked and discussed what was going on. When they heard uncertain answers, they quickly hid in their houses. Some of the timid ones even ran away in fear.

Instead of retreating, the psychics advanced to the entrances and exits of the bases they were responsible for to check what was going on.

Yue Xiwen and Zhou Zhengping stood at the largest entrance, Gate No. 1, observing through binoculars, their faces pale.

The base was already in chaos, and the base staff had to take the trouble to guide the crowd to calm down.

“Boom!”—“Boom!”—“Boom!”

The terrifying and deafening roar came from the outskirts of the base, and every sound was concentrated in the hearts of everyone present.

The number of beasts was so large that as they moved closer, the ground inside the base began to shake.

The kerosene lamp hanging on the lookout tower shook violently, then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

No one cared about a few kerosene lamps. Those who were stationed at the front line of the base knew that a few lamps might be a pain in the ass under normal circumstances, but now they couldn't care less.

The swarm of mutant spiders approached, and everyone could see the changes in the mutant spiders.

Before the end of the world, spiders that were only the size of a palm have now evolved to be half a person's height. Their originally slender abdominal stalks are connected together, and they look like moving hills.

Their huge bodies can actually reflect light under the sunlight!

The most disgusting thing is the head. A pair of scarlet eyes can actually flash dark red light in the daytime.

"It's a mutant spider... It's actually a mutant spider..." Zhou Zhengping whispered, his fingers trembling as he held the telescope.

The 'black line' was getting closer and closer.

Whether ordinary people or people with special abilities, everyone is afraid.

Zhou Zhengping immediately ordered: "Block the gate with sandbags!"

It's just a sandbag, luckily there are plenty of these things at the base.

This alone is not enough. Spiders can climb walls and they can still crawl in. All the psychics can do is guard the walls near the base.

Since hot weapons became obsolete, they could only use cold weapons, and crossbows and archery were also one of the items they had to train every day.

Of course, superpowers cannot be used all the time. They can only be used alternately with cold weapons.

A giant spider approached the wall of Gate No. 1 where Yue Xiwen was. She was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and drew her bow and shot it.

The sword hit them accurately, but it didn't have much effect because their shells were too hard!

Although it didn't bounce out, the arrow only penetrated a little, the spider was knocked back a little, and a small amount of sticky liquid flowed out of the wound.

"I can't even shoot it in..." Yue Xiwen muttered, looking at the spider still climbing up the wall in disbelief. He fired three arrows in a row, but the effect of each arrow was far from satisfactory.

The arrow only penetrated a little into the spider, just like the first one.

"Attack quickly! They're too big to let them all climb the wall together!"

The wall has only been slightly reinforced. If they all attack at the same time, the wall will definitely not be able to hold up and will collapse.

No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.

"Pile things up against the wall. Don't let the wall fall down."

Once the wall collapses, the base will be lost... and then everyone in the base will become food for these disgusting things.

The messenger reminded him, "But... if we pile up the sandbags, spiders can crawl up and come down..."

"There's nothing we can do about it!" Zhou Zhengping roared.

A small number of them that crawl in can be killed, but if the wall collapses, none of them will be able to escape.

Yue Xiwen also felt that they could only hold out like this for a while, otherwise the base would be completely finished once the wall collapsed.

The others immediately followed suit, each one moving the sandbags with nimble hands and feet.

Seeing this, the space ability user hurried forward, collected the sandbags and piled them behind the wall. It was not enough to just pile one layer of sandbags to the top, he had to continue stacking and reinforcing it at the back.

Now only the attacks of psychics are effective against spiders, and psychics with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are all playing their greatest role by the wall.

The most effective way to deal with mutated giant spiders is to use fire-type abilities. Fire-type abilities can burn the silk spit out by spiders. Fireballs attacking spiders will cause them to lose a layer of skin even if they don't die.

The water-based ability follows the fire-based ability to extinguish the fire that falls on the ground and the wall.

They couldn't use fire to attack the spiders in large quantities. If the fire spread over a large area, the water-based ability would not be able to extinguish it in time, and they would all be trapped in the fire and wait to die.

Seeing more and more spiders approaching and crawling over, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

Only when you get close can you feel that they are covered with sticky liquid and emit an intriguing stench.
