Chapter 15 Little Spider
"Ouch, stop scratching my hair."
A small spider as big as a fist was scratching in Aizhe's hair.
The silver-gray shell shimmers.
The foot stretched out one limb and ruffled the short hair of the young boy Ai Zhe.
His wheat-colored skin was partially obscured by his hair, and he turned over in annoyance.
"Don't do that."
The spider also used its limbs to ruffle his hair.
It has eight limbs, and any one of them can scratch a boy's head so hard that he rolls on the pillow.
"I'm angry!"
Ai Zhe sat up suddenly, and Spider-Man immediately shrank and hid behind the pillow.
Behind the silver-gray shell, it quietly opened two of its compound eyes and secretly observed Ai Zhe's reaction.
"Crunch, crunch." Ai Zhe reached out and scratched its belly.
Even though there was a hard shell there, he knew it liked the action.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was a surprise dormitory inspection.
As a reserve soldier, Ai Zhe was often suddenly checked into his dormitory by the captain during his youth.
"Hide quickly!" Ai Zhe whispered to the silver-gray spider in panic, and the little spider quickly crawled back behind the pillow.
The captain pushed the door open and looked around the room.
Ai Zhe sat obediently, holding a computer in his hand. On the projection screen in the air were played images of warriors in the past killing alien flying insects and wild beasts.
Ai Zhe watched seriously with his chin in his hand, looking very honest.
The captain looked around, nodded, and turned to leave Ai Zhe's dormitory.
The small shell spider poked out its pale golden compound eyes from behind the pillow and climbed onto Ai Zhe's hand again.
“Hmm!”
Ai Zhe suddenly woke up from his dream, sweat soaking his short black hair and chin.
I dreamed about it again.
In the dream, memories are played out again and again.
Ai Zhe put his hands over his forehead and eyes, as if trying to suppress something.
The daily life he spent with the little spider was as clear as if it had just happened. He propped himself up and walked to the windowsill, gasping for breath.
It felt like I had heart palpitations and a splitting headache.
Looking down at the soil outside the window...
The little spider had probably already turned to dust, and even its last form was likely broken down by the chains of this cruel apocalypse.
Little Spider is the name of the spider.
Ai Zhe lowered his head and leaned against the windowsill, as if he was still unable to extricate himself from his memories.
The devastating war two hundred years ago destroyed everything.
Human beings have always been searching for new homes, exploring, migrating, destroying, rebuilding, being forced to abandon, wandering again, and occasionally taking in other things.
Waking up in the middle of the night, feeling restless, he walked into the yard and squatted down.
Touched the sleeping Onion.
The puppy licked his hand and purred affectionately, and he felt the warmth of life again.
He also picked up the onions in the same way.
Suddenly, he noticed that a light was still on in a small room on the other side of the yard.
It seems that the owner of the house is still awake.
No offense, just a little closer.
I saw the owner sitting by the windowsill, drawing close-combat knife tactics on a light blue electronic projection board.
Then the structural diagram of the knife was projected to analyze the point of force and energy flow.
The man outside the house accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, his hands still in his pockets, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Then, the owner of the house seemed a little tired and stretched.
His back, which had become increasingly solid as he became a warrior, stood up and scratched his dark golden curls.
I yawned and went to rest.

The next day, Dr. Tuman and Colonel Sting asked Aizhe and Northam to come to the laboratory.
"Hey, there's been new progress in the preparations for the second exploration mission."
"Because we previously sent the electronic dog and electronic cat to explore the periphery of the collapsed area of the Abandoned Valley, and they discovered this thing."
"Human bones?"
"And this isn't just ordinary human bone. It's been soaked in an experimental solvent."
"A large number of human bones were found there."
In the Zewo Waste Valley, the current Zerg habitat, a large number of human bones were discovered.
Ai Zhe and Noson frowned, looking serious and solemn.
"The experimental solvents were added to facilitate experiments on the humans who lived there. Therefore, these compounds are still present in the bones."
"The same thing was also found in samples of the armored spider."
Aizhe and Noson raised their heads at the same time, and Dr. Tuman's expression was heavier than before.
It’s like holding the door handle to a certain truth, but not having the courage to push the door open.
There was something pressing in the air, and they didn't have the key, so they could only wait.
"Before, we and the Crustacean Spiders kept to ourselves."
"Their intelligence is incredibly high, surpassing that of humans, and they are mysterious. They are the most powerful alien species today."
"How powerful are they? Are they superior to humans? Are there other unknown biological principles or entities? We have no way of knowing."
"Those common ferocious beasts and alien species cannot be compared with them at all."
"In just a few years, the Carapace Spiders have evolved into a ruling class and occupied the Zewo Waste Valley. We don't know what happened during these years."
"We are now studying the armored spiders because when you explored the Zewo Abandoned Valley, you discovered a large number of armored spider nests in the collapsed areas."
"Moreover, the Spider King's reaction to Ai Zhe was unusual, showing a strong intention to forcibly possess him."
"Aizhe also brought back the Spider King's stinging hair, so we started exploring this part."
The doctor looked at Ai Zhe with a serious tone.
Ai Zhe also took this as a formal matter and nodded.
"I don't know what the connection is between the armored spiders and that war, and what kind of connection they have with humans. We need to continue to investigate in depth."
"Exploring the Zewo Waste Valley for the second time is no small undertaking. Everyone must be fully prepared."
"We will deploy mainstay mechanized vehicles, mobile weapon platforms, high-energy arrows and magnetic blades, high-pressure artillery shells, long-range penetrating rounds...all ready."
"According to Ai Zhe's feedback at the time, the Crustacean Spider Clan possesses its own sensory communication equipment, which is very strange. Although there are other highly intelligent alien species that can invent and transform things on their own, such as the Skull-Eating Ape, I still think the Crustacean Spider Clan's IQ is too high."
"It's very likely that this new equipment was rebuilt using high-intelligence components or facilities left over from previous wars."
Aizhe and Noson nodded. As team leaders, they were naturally aware of the responsibilities on their shoulders.
"Aizhe, Noson. How are you doing now? It's been a while since you came back."
Aizhe and Noson nodded, indicating that they had recovered well.
"We discovered along the western route that there were signs of alien land crocodiles attacking camps before."
"There are refugees nearby. We don't necessarily need to recruit them. We can probably let friendly organizations do it."
"But we can protect refugees."
"These terrestrial crocodiles don't need to live in water. They can move freely on the ground and in the mud, and they feed on humans. They have completely destroyed the simple shelters built by the refugees."
"How about this mission serve as preparation and warm-up for our next large-scale exploration mission?"
"good!"
Aizhe and Noson nodded, their expressions calm.
