Chapter 185 Weapons
The tragic scene in the corridor immediately caught the eyes of Wei Jun and others. After a brief moment of shock, some members of the mutual aid society showed expressions of extreme fear.
The scene was too tragic and so close to them. I'm afraid they will be the next to be affected.
Their first thought was to run away, so they called the security guards around them to help, and then began to look for a way out in a panic.
In addition to the rolling door in the front, this factory building also has two very obvious side doors on the left and right sides. Because of the presence of combat spiders on one side, the battle is still going on there, so they all chose to run from the other side.
After all, this group of people were Wu Yi's students. They were very fast. None of them took the stairs. They all jumped down from above and ran towards the side door. It didn't take long for them to reach the exit.
But at this moment, a huge vibration sound came from above the passage, and then a figure jumped down from above, standing in front of them with a bang, blocking the way ahead.
Chen Chuan swung the long blade in his hand, slowly raised his eyes and looked at all of them. For a moment, everyone stopped running forward and slowly retreated.
"Chen Chuan, if you dare to kill us, you will die too!" A member of the mutual aid association threatened in a timid manner.
Chen Chuan said calmly: "When you kill others, have you ever thought that you will die too?" He slowly raised the knife and held it horizontally in front of him. A cold light seemed to flow slowly on the blade.
The next moment, his eyes reflected the rapidly passing scenes, the rapidly changing angles, and the sharp slashing blades. After all this suddenly stopped, he appeared behind the group of people, and behind him, there was no one who could be called complete.
Under the high platform, Wei Jun did not choose to run down from the upstairs with these people. As the organizer of this trip, he knew all the entrances and exits of this place clearly. There was also an aisle behind this factory building that could lead directly out, but the problem was that they might not be faster than Chen Chuan.
So he had no choice but to retreat to a safe room not far behind him. At the same time, he said viciously to the two black-robed men beside him: "Your ritual didn't work. You must take responsibility, otherwise you know the consequences!"
The two men in black robes looked at each other, pulled out a scimitar from their waist, and walked outside.
Wei Jun immediately called on the mutual aid association members who were still around him to retreat into the safe room, and pulled the special steel door shut. The moment the door closed, the gunshots and screams outside disappeared.
One person was shaking and said in horror, "This guy is crazy, crazy, how dare he attack us..."
Wei Jun's hair was a mess. He had no time to think about whether Chen Chuan was crazy or not. He had to save his own life first! He urged, "Where's that thing? Take it out!"
Several security guards who followed in hurriedly took out two large boxes from a cabinet on the wall and placed them in the middle.
Wei Jun said anxiously, "Jiang Wei, what should we do?"
Jiang Wei was the calmest person present. He squatted down before leaving, first flicking the buckle with both hands, then pulling hard to unlock it. He said, "I got this thing from Molan Company, and this is my first time using it. But even if I can't kill Chen Chuan, it should be able to hold him back for a while. We can then evacuate as quickly as possible. Once we're outside, we can gather enough people to kill him."
The person on the other side urged, "I know, I know, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up, hurry up."
They had no idea how long the people outside could hold on. The sight of Chen Chuan raising his sword and slashing away, leaving behind a pile of broken limbs and bodies in an instant, really scared them.
Jiang Wei turned the code a few times and heard a click. Then he opened the lid of the box, revealing a thick white package bag, about half a meter square, which seemed to contain something.
He picked up a tube of high-energy nutrient needle embedded in the side of the box and stabbed it into the contents. After pushing all the nutrient solution in, he felt a slight vibration on contact, and he quickly stood up and stepped back.
At this moment, there was a "swish" sound, and the thick package was torn open by two sharp blades extending from the inside. Something inside stretched its body and slowly stood up.
When the people in the room saw it, they all retreated to the wall involuntarily. It was a giant mantis with a blue-gray color and an almost metallic texture.
Its strong jaw was contracting and expanding at this time. As the spiracles in its abdomen opened, the modified trachea delivered sufficient oxygen to all parts of its body. With the revival of its vitality, its pair of bulging compound eyes stared at everyone in the room. The knife-like feet in front moved slowly, and a dangerous aura suddenly emanated from it.
Jiang Wei said, "The Battle Mantis is a biological combat weapon that Molan Company bought from a certain company. This thing should be able to entangle that person for a while."
"No, there is another box here. Come on, put them out together." Someone urged from behind.
Jiang Wei ignored him. He first made a few command gestures to the fighting mantis, and waited for it to slowly restrain its fighting posture. Then he walked to the front and squatted down to fiddle with another box.
"It will be fine soon."
In the area outside the factory, after Chen Chuan cleared out another group of people, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and saw two men in black robes walking towards him.
These two people seem like mirror images, symmetrical on both sides, and each of them has a face printed on their clothes. If these two independent faces are put together, they look like a relatively complete face.
This was somewhat like an abstract expression of the strange story he had just seen. It seemed that these two people were related to the esoteric rituals around them.
The two men then split to the left and right, and then rushed towards him from two directions. It seemed that their pace and rhythm were consistent, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly.
But... it's too slow.
He gently raised the long blade in his hand and chopped it left and right. The heads of the two men flew out from their necks, and then the two bodies fell to the ground almost at the same time. Except for the different directions, even the falling postures and the blood sprayed were almost the same. Of course, in the end this was not intentional by the two men, but the result of his control of the force and angle of the knife.
He shook the blade and looked towards the other side of the factory. He had heard some screams and howls just now, but there was no movement now.
In the area in the middle of the factory, he had cleared out all the people he could see, but he knew that there was still a group of people who retreated into the room above at the beginning.
But whether they ran or not, it made no difference. Unless someone who could keep up with his speed came to stop him, in this short period of time, no matter how far these people ran, he would catch up in a short while, and it wouldn't take him long at all.
He thought for a moment and made a gesture. The fighting spider lying on top of the factory immediately crawled out quickly, heading to the opposite entrance to lay spider silk.
Although the high strength of spider silk can only last for a maximum of ten minutes, and then it can be blown away by a gust of wind, this time is enough.
Holding the Xuejun Knife, he walked up the metal stairs next to him, and then walked along the metal passage step by step towards the room where Wei Jun and the others were hiding.
However, when he was about to approach that place, he suddenly noticed something. He stretched out his Xuejun Knife and blocked it. There were two clang sounds, and then he saw something whooshing out.
He turned his head and saw that the thing was resting on a metal railing. It was about half a meter long, with a triangular head, a slender neck, and a flat body. A pair of huge knife-shaped capturing feet in front were facing him. The tips of the hooked feet under its belly occasionally rubbed against the steel, making a metallic friction sound.
His eyes moved, "Mantis?"
But considering the mantis's size and the speed it just demonstrated, it is obvious that it is also a biological combat weapon.
And, more than one...
He could sense that there was another mantis moving in the shadows, waiting for its opportunity.
In the safe room, Wei Jun heard the security guard outside come back and tell him that Chen Chuan had been entangled by the battle mantis, and immediately ran out: "While that guy is holding us back, let's get out of here quickly."
A group of people here also rushed out and ran out in a hurry following him.
As Jiang Wei walked out, he thought for a moment and threw an uninjected high-energy nutrient tube to the ground far away. It shattered with a snap, and the high-energy nutrient solution inside flowed all over the ground.
No one understood what he meant, and he didn't have the energy to explain at the moment. It seemed that Chen Chuan did not come alone, and he seemed to have brought something similar to a fighting mantis. These kinds of creatures rely on high-energy nutrition to function. Although they might not be attracted by this thing, there was no harm in trying.
This group of people ran very fast. In a short while, they arrived at a long and narrow corridor. At the end of the corridor, they could see a red-painted steel door. That was the exit!
A member of the mutual aid society ran over impatiently, but after only a few steps, his head and body suddenly and silently split into several pieces and scattered on the ground in front of him.
"This is……"
The people behind were all startled and quickly stopped.
Jiang Wei looked at the broken edges, glanced around, and took a knife from the security guard next to him. He made a few tentative strokes and said through gritted teeth, "There's a gap. We can get through."
Everyone looked at each other. Jiang Wei glanced at them, adjusted his glasses, tightened them a little, and said, "I'll go first, you follow me."
He first lifted one foot and slowly stepped over, then bent down and slowly crawled through, and finally passed the other foot. When he reached here, he used the knife to test again, and saw that there was still space in front, but it seemed that there was only a gap below, so he lay on the ground and slowly crawled forward. After a while, he had gone a distance away.
Seeing his success, the people behind him followed suit, taking off their weapons and belongings and climbing forward.
Inside the factory, two fighting mantises were staring at Chen Chuan. They had their own fighting style: they wouldn't attack him directly, but if he showed any intent to attack them directly, they would immediately retreat. If he tried to leave, they would follow him, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Chen Chuan's eyes moved. These two mantises were indeed a bit tricky. Although he was not afraid of them, it would take time to get rid of them. Although they were not as fast as him, they could fly, move regardless of the terrain, and cooperate with each other.
But after all, it is just a biological weapon. Without anyone to command it, it will only follow a stereotyped attack pattern.
He slowly raised the knife, and then... closed his eyes.
The two mantises followed their own attack pattern and almost at the moment he closed his eyes, they jumped up together, and their blade-like feet slashed at him from both sides!
At this moment, Chen Chuan took a deep breath, and the Honglu Breathing Technique suddenly started working for a moment. A surge of power quickly surged into his body, and then he spun around on the spot, and a flash of knife light passed by!
Two mantises leaped over him on both sides respectively. While still in mid-air, their bodies slowly slid apart. Two cuts cut them diagonally from top to bottom. The two halves of the body fell to the ground one after another. The liquid tissue inside them flowed out, and the limbs and the separated body were still twitching there.
