A massive creature was beginning to emerge from the sharp weeds. Xia Linyin took out her crescent blade and swung it to cut a path.
The edges of these slender weeds are very sharp, and you can easily get cut by the leaves if you're not careful, causing a numbing sensation from the wound.
"What is this?" Xia Linyin asked, looking at the enormous thing in front of her. It was shaped like a bullet and looked a bit like the front of a maglev train.
"The electric hovercraft can reach a speed of 400 kilometers per hour."
"So fast!" Xia Linyin's eyes flashed with intense surprise. 400 kilometers per hour, at this speed, they could reach their destination in no time!
She reached out and wiped the dust off the window, peering through the glass into the room.
"Electric hovercars are vehicles manufactured by robots and can only be used by robots; humans cannot use them."
Number 83's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Xia Linyin's head, chilling her to the bone. Her face showed undisguised disappointment. "Then why did you call me here?"
"Although humans cannot use it, I am inside you. I can start an electric hovercar to travel 90 kilometers, but it will consume 50% of my energy."
"That's so much energy wasted? What impact will that energy have on you, and can you replenish it?"
"When the energy level drops below 15%, I will activate a self-protection function and enter hibernation. When the energy level recovers to above 30%, I will restart."
Xia Linyin nodded, which sounded a bit like a phone automatically shutting down when it ran out of battery.
"I can replenish my energy through sunlight; I need to receive sunlight for 12 hours to get 50% of my energy."
"I understand, how do I open this car?"
"Place your hand on the car's emblem on the front, and I will input energy."
“Okay!” Xia Linyin walked to the front of the car and placed her palm on the metal emblem on the front.
A tingling sensation ran through Xia Linyin's arm, and a blue electric current coiled around her arm, then traveled up her arm and into the car logo.
The headlights suddenly turned on, and the doors on both sides of the electric hovercar flipped open like wings, revealing the entrance.
After Xia Linyin got into the car, the doors on both sides closed automatically.
The console was flashing blue light. Xia Linyin reached out and wiped away the thick layer of dust, revealing a complex array of touchscreen buttons underneath.
"Master, you can activate autopilot mode."
"Okay." Xia Linyin sat down in the driver's seat and, following No. 83's instructions, placed her hands on the control lever and activated the autopilot mode.
The hovercar left the ground, floated in mid-air, and then shot off with a "whoosh".
The speed was unbelievable; the scenery on both sides was completely obscured, and only afterimages could be seen constantly flashing by.
At such high speeds, the hovercar effortlessly and accurately avoids obstacles.
Often, just when you think you're about to crash into it, it performs a graceful flip and avoids the obstacle.
When the electric hovercar stopped, Xia Linyin, who had left the driver's seat, felt her legs go weak. The feeling of her feet being on solid ground was simply wonderful. Those few minutes were definitely a hundred times more exciting than bungee jumping.
After walking down a street, Xia Linyin hid under the ruins and peered through the gaps at the building in front of her.
Through the scan of number 83, she could clearly see the scene inside the building.
The black spiders have completely taken over the building, their webs covering every corner.
The ground was covered with black spider droppings and various huge bones, as well as some shell-like substances that looked like the remains of other insects and beasts.
The black spider was enormous; each of its legs was as thick as a human thigh, and the hairs on them were as coarse and stiff as steel needles.
At the entrance of the building, a bloody human leg was hanging in mid-air by spider silk, and a pool of blood had already dripped onto the ground.
“That’s…” Xia Linyin narrowed her eyes slightly, “a bait?”
"Yes, Master, that's bait released by the black spider to lure its prey. The black spider is a very good hunter. Although some creatures know that this is the black spider's territory, they will still take the risk when driven by hunger."
"The black spider is probably trying to attract large carnivorous creatures. It's so stingy, using only one leg. It's not even enough to fill a gap between its teeth. Will it attract prey like that?"
Xia Linyin couldn't help but complain, "Except for the legs, the rest of the body must have already gone into the black spider's stomach."
"Human flesh is tender and delicious, and the taste of human blood is an irresistible temptation for carnivores. Basically, all the insects and beasts in this world like to eat human flesh."
Xia Linyin: "..."
This is truly unfortunate news.
A rustling sound came from behind, and Xia Linyin couldn't help but hold her breath.
A large, flat, dark brown insect scurried swiftly along the ground toward the building. Just before it reached the building, it darted into a narrow crevice in the ground. When it reappeared, it had already reached the building's entrance.
Xia Linyin looked at the insect. A 3D scan of the insect appeared on the left side of the interface, and the scan results were displayed on the right.
[Giant Cockroach: An evolved form of the cockroach, the most numerous insectoid creature. While not particularly aggressive, it possesses incredible resilience. A decapitated giant cockroach can survive for 30 days before dying from starvation. It carries billions of bacteria and viruses within its body and is therefore inedible.]
Number 83 added: "When encountering giant cockroaches, it's best to avoid them if possible. These creatures are very difficult to kill and extremely troublesome, and they have absolutely no value to humans."
Whether it's the germs they carry or their bodies that are mostly just hard shells and insect larvae, these are the reasons why humans cannot eat giant cockroaches.
The giant cockroach lay on the bloodstain, licking the blood for a while with its antennae twitching. Then it looked up at the human leg hanging in mid-air, and with a push of its hind legs, it spread its elytra and leaped toward the piece of human flesh.
The moment the giant cockroach opened its mandibles and bit off a person's leg, a deluge of spider silk shot towards it.
The black spider scurried up the web and quickly approached the cockroach, biting and eating its body. Even when only half of the cockroach's body remained, it was still moving, its legs flailing wildly.
The black spider devoured the cockroach with ravenous speed, and after finishing, it licked the worm's juices off its leg tips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
"So fast..." Xia Linyin, who had been observing the entire process of the black spider eating the cockroach, pondered. This black spider not only crawled as fast as lightning, but its spider silk was also extremely sticky, and once you got stuck, you couldn't get free.
First, blow its head off so it can't spit out spider silk!
Having prepared herself, Xia Linyin rushed out. Black Spider, who was cleaning herself up and preparing to return to the building, saw Xia Linyin and her eyes lit up, as if to say, "There's even dessert after dinner?!"
