The police officer's trembling voice rang out: "Am I seeing things? This spider seems to be bigger than the one just now?"

Luo Tan whispered, "Because it is a female spider."

Andre leaned over to look at her: "Female spider?"

Luo Chen: "Do you know why the first spider appeared in a projectile manner?" Although the executioner was crawling towards them, the lambs to be slaughtered, Andre and the police officer were attracted by Luo Chen's words.

"Because it was a male spider, it's a common trait in spider populations that female spiders will eat the male spiders after mating in order to provide energy for their unborn children, but the male spiders won't just sit there and wait for death, they'll shoot away as quickly as possible after mating."

So? The one crawling towards them is the wife of the male spider from before, the female spider?

However, at this critical moment, is it useful to know their gender?

"Some spiders have the ability to carry their young after they hatch, so if you kill a pregnant female spider, there may be countless baby spiders that come out."

Police officer: …

Since his entire back was stuck to the spider web, he had planned to put up a desperate fight when the spider tried to eat him, using his head to butt the spider's belly - the most vulnerable part.

Now that I think about it, I'd better forget it.

He pushed the mother spider's belly, and the mother spider hit him with a head full of little spiders... Thinking of those countless legs...

He will definitely go crazy!

Luo Tan is going crazy too.

No matter how she refreshed the system, the animated image displayed was still the scene of them being bitten by spiders and used as food.

Apart from knowing that they were dying, no useful information was obtained.

She launched a series of life-threatening calls to Xiao Ai.

She asked Xiao Ai if the props she had used before could be reused.

Xiao Ai: "This is a one-time sale only. Once sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged."

She asked Xiao Ai if she could find the spider's weakness.

Xiao Ai's lively voice rang out: "This spider is the latest variant. The system has not yet included a method to restrain it. But don't worry, the system will add new countermeasures in the future!"

Luo Tan...what's the point of putting it on the shelf in the future! She's almost dead!

The system picked up from the garbage dump is indeed unreliable!

But there was no time to think now. She stared at the spider as it stretched out its terrifying fangs towards her.

Spiders do not eat their prey alive, but instead inject a paralyzing venom into the prey's body before eating it.

Luo Tan made up his mind, raised his neck, raised his head and cut it with a knife, and then lowered his head and cut it with a knife. Anyway, there was no other way. He would die anyway, so it would be better to die early so that he could be reincarnated earlier!

However, the female spider closed her mouth.

Luo Tan:?

The female spider then used her claws to hook into Luo Tan's pockets, and during the process she put her mouthparts close to that place, as if she was sniffing something.

Luo Tan didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment:...It thinks I don't smell good, so it decided not to eat me first?

The pocket made of cloth was no match for the spider's sharp claws and fangs. After a while, a hole appeared in the pocket and a piece of candy wrapped in cellophane fell out.

The sugar had already melted partially because she had kept it in her pocket. The sticky sugar liquid had stuck the outer packaging paper into a ball and rolled out, filling the air with a sweet scent.

The female spider approached with great interest, sniffed and bit the candy, then carefully wrapped the half-melted candy in her spider silk, dragged it away, and disappeared in front of them.

Luo Tan:?

[Spiders also like candy? ]

Andre noticed this and said: "If spiders like sugar more, will they stop eating us?"

Luo Tan looked at the system hopefully, and found that the most likely scene was her being torn into pieces.

Her hopes were dashed. She hung her head and said sadly, "Spiders probably don't eat sweets, they are just interested in the sweet taste."

Police officer: "I see. Isn't it that you crave snacks because you've already eaten a full meal? But if you're really hungry, do you still have to eat a full meal?"

The three people on the spider's web realized at the same time that they were the main meal and were speechless.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of very light footsteps.

Luo Tan opened his sleepy eyes and found that it was the tunnel guard who had taken the opportunity to escape during the chaos and had returned.

At this moment, he stared blankly at the three would-be prey hung on the spider's web, looking panicked: "I'm sorry! I was so scared just now that I found a place to hide! I didn't expect... I'm going to let you down now!"

The police officer was deeply moved: "Brother, I'm glad to have you!"

However, the guards used sharp stones on the ground to rub the spider web for a long time, but were unable to cut open the spider web that was as hard as metal.

Seeing how hard he was working, Luo Tan asked, "Do you have a lighter?"

Guard: "Huh? A lighter?"

Luo Chen: "Spider silk is made of protein, so it will catch fire at once. More importantly, I saw the cigarette butt sticking out of your trouser pocket."

The guard immediately exclaimed, "Ah!" and said quickly, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten. According to employee management regulations, employees are not allowed to smoke, but I always can't help it... Alas."

Police officer: "It's okay! Brother, you saved three of us this time. No, no, no, I'm nothing. You saved two of them, that's a great feat! I'll write a report and make you the only one in the entire train system who can smoke at work. How about that, isn't it impressive!"

The guards were overjoyed and immediately used a lighter to burn some of the spider silk that trapped them. As the smell of burning protein dissipated, the three of them finally returned to the ground.

The ranger did not lead them back the same way, but went deeper into the passage.

"After the female spider left you three, she walked out. If you go out now, you will definitely fight her. It's better to go inside."

The police officer expressed his fear: "Inside? Isn't it the spider's stronghold inside? The spiders outside are so scary, I wonder how many more spiders there are inside..."

The tunnel guard patted his chest and promised: "No, right after you were caught, I walked inside to explore, and then unexpectedly found a passage. Not only was there no spider in that passage, but it led to the outside! Although you need to climb down the mountain for a while after walking out of there, but..."

The police officer sobbed: "But we can leave this damn place!"

Along the way, they saw several bloody and broken bodies, and even a few bones.

"So those missing persons have already been..."

Andre stopped and bowed towards the unknown corpses with a pious and apologetic look on his face.

Several people walked faster, wanting to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

Although Luo Tan had predicted before, once they left, this place would most likely be destroyed.

But if they don't leave now, they will be the ones to be destroyed!

What's more, they have already seen two big spiders, and they have already investigated thoroughly the fact that the missing passenger was snatched away by the big spiders through the window. As for whether there is a mastermind behind this incident, they may be able to conduct a detailed investigation along the investigation route after they get out.

Right now, the best strategy is to run away first!

Not long after they started walking, the four of them simultaneously saw a faint light at the end of the mountain passage, which clearly led to the outside world.

Luo Tan heard Xiao Ai's reminder: "The prediction screen has been updated!"

She thought she would see herself escaping safely from danger and sipping tea in the police station to calm down.

But I didn’t expect——

[Huh? This time it's not the scene where I'm being repeatedly ravaged by the spider? It's me falling off a cliff and breaking into pieces?]

???

The police officer quickly stopped moving forward and almost stumbled due to braking too suddenly.

Wang Chu Andre also frowned, his mouth straightened, and he looked seriously at the light-emitting cave entrance not far away.

[Great, no matter what, this time I finally got to see the murderer's face. Let me see... huh?]

【Why is it him? 】

Andre and the police officer pricked up their ears, their minds filled with:

Come on, who is it?

This game of finding the wolf in the werewolf killing did not make them wait too long after all. Luo Tan's heart was uneasy.

[The tunnel guard didn't do this to let us escape. This exit is actually a cliff! His purpose is to trick us into falling off the cliff and dying!]

[If we were pretending to have accidentally fallen off a cliff and died, we wouldn't tell them there were spiders here. The investigators would just think we slipped and wouldn't even come to the tunnel to investigate. Even if they did, they would just do a perfunctory job and wouldn't even notice there were spiders here!]

[How smart! This is indeed his best solution to keep the spider. If we run out, people will naturally investigate the spider, and some may even suspect that he failed to take good care of it. If we die in the tunnel, once the spider bite marks appear on Wang Chu's body, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and lead to an investigation.]

[He really took great pains to protect spiders. He is the real breeder of spiders! ]

What?

The police officer was stunned.

Even Wang Chu Andrei, who usually kept his emotions secret, showed some cracks on his face.

The tunnel guard had no idea of ​​the devastation in their hearts and said politely, "We can go out now. Who will go down first?"
