What's funny is that the base's wall near Exit 2 was breached, but the group of ordinary people were still in the same place, waiting silently for others to protect them.
"I've had enough! We can't go on like this!"
"That kid is right. We can't just stay here. There are so many spiders out there. If we all stay here, how can the soldiers alone stop so many mutant animals?"
A girl with pigtails stood up. Her round eyes were very cute. She was only in her twenties, and her round face made her look very young. Her words were not convincing at all.
They didn't need to go out and see the situation outside with their own eyes; they could feel how fierce the battle was just by listening to the noise.
"Is there anyone who wants to go out with me to protect the base?"
The round-faced girl's voice echoed in the room. Although she looked down, she saw people everywhere, but no one responded.
After a long moment, the round-faced girl grew annoyed. "If we can't defend the base, none of us will be able to escape!"
"That's quite righteous. If you want to go, just go by yourself. Why do you have to drag us down with you to die?"
"If you're not afraid, go ahead. I'm afraid of death, so I'll wait here. They were able to repel the mutant spiders last time, so why can't they do it this time?"
An old lady approached the round-faced girl and pulled her down. "Girl, just sit down and don't even think about leaving. We must believe in our country and the soldiers."
The round-faced girl felt a lump in her throat and stood up with great momentum.
"Belief in the country does not mean we can only be protected by soldiers. We must not sit idly by and wait for death."
Her sweet voice was completely inconsistent with her determination, and many young people were infected by her emotions.
"I'm going too."
The person who spoke was also a girl. She stood up and walked to the round-faced girl.
Once someone takes the lead, he will call on countless young people to share the same hatred for the enemy.
"I'm going too."
"Count me in."
"If we can't hold the base, we'll have no home."
Even the baby from last time joined in the fun, standing up, clapping his hands, and excitedly saying, "Yes, yes, yes."
The gurgling sound made everyone present blush, especially those who had looked at the baby with unfriendly eyes before. Now those people's eyes fell on the mother and child like knives.
If the children clapping their hands were not only a few years old, they would have suspected that someone with deep thoughts was implying something about them.
"Can you please take care of your child? He's disturbing me."
"Let him be quiet. He's already upset."
"Shut up now, or I'll get up and slap you."
The child’s mother quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” to avoid angering the public.
Obviously, the child's voice alone was not as loud as the voices of any one of them standing up, but he was still said to be noisy.
This is not just a quarrel, it's obvious that they still want to save face, but they say shameless words.
This behavior of obviously bullying the weak and fearing the strong is really shameful.
The round-faced girl asked again, "Is there anyone else who wants to go out with us?"
The scene became quiet, and no one else wanted to go out together.
Those who stood up were all young people, perhaps because they were young and more daring. It wasn't that they didn't care about their lives, but their passion wouldn't allow them to stand behind the soldiers and wait for protection.
It was estimated that more than forty young people stood up, both men and women. The round-faced girl said to herself, this is enough.
To protect our homeland, we must start with ourselves.
“Boom—boom!”
Several loud noises seemed to ring right next to her ears. The round-faced girl thought to herself that something was wrong and quickened her pace to go out for support.
The people hiding in the room turned a deaf ear to it, some even covered their ears with their hands and buried their heads in their knees.
It was raining outside. The round-faced girls rushed out of the room, and their clothes were soaked as soon as they went out.
Before they could accept the scene, when the last person rushed out, the first mutant giant spider that broke into the base without being stopped kicked the glass window of the room they had just been in and shattered it.
A huge body rushed into the room, followed by a deafening roar.
There are human ones and mutant spider ones.
The room was already crowded with people, and the mutant spider was like a slaughterhouse, spitting out dense spider webs from its mouth, wrapping the people closest to it like mummies.
Everyone in the room screamed and ran away, scrambling to get out.
The door was blocked by the fleeing people and the glass was smashed. A man who had ferociously attacked the baby jumped up to the window and half of his body was already out.
The mutant spider noticed the commotion and shot a thread of spider silk over, grabbing the man.
The man had a strong will to survive and held on to the window tightly with his right hand.
The forty or so people who had just left the room had no sense of relief. They turned around and scattered, looking for weapons everywhere.
Several people came up and pulled the man, holding his hands outside the window.
"Ah!——" the man wailed in pain. "Don't, don't..."
Before he finished speaking, the mutant spider looked at the food on the plate so close to it and became furious. It pulled the spider silk even harder, and the man was split in half like a piece of rag.
The mutant spider's big head was biting the other half of the man's body frantically. When a few people leaned over to check, they saw that the man's lower body was full of holes.
The man's death was not in vain. His death briefly delayed the mutant spider, and the people in the room bought some time and crowded harder at the door.
There were simply too many people in the room, and the entrance was small and crowded.
Some people couldn't fight for it and were pulled down by the people behind them.
In the crowded crowd, you can't hear the shouting at all because everyone is shouting.
It is very terrifying to see such a large mutant animal eating people in front of you.
Screams echoed throughout the room, their voices completely drowning out the sound of those under their feet.
The mutant spider quickly ate half of the corpse, making a hissing sound and moving towards the crowded crowd at the door.
The people outside the window gritted their teeth and threw the half of the corpse in their hands in again to slow down the mutant spider.
Although this approach is a bit cruel, the dead are gone, and the most important thing right now is to protect the living.
The round-faced girl and the first girl who stood up went to the nearest place and found some steel bars, then returned with them.
The mutant spider spit out a spider web and bites people who are caught in front of the crowded door.
Spiders are very smart. They trap the ones they catch first, and then collect the others to eat together.
It ate faster and faster, and its scarlet eyes were so bright that they were conspicuous even in the daytime.
When the girls with the steel bars arrived, most of the people in the house ran away, leaving the baby standing in the room in a daze, watching the spider eat people, at a loss as to what to do.
