Chapter 512 Trap

"Is it silk?" Du Hao asked, "There is silk around us, is it spider silk or something else?"

Yun Shuhuai said, "Not sure yet, but this silk thread is extremely thin. It sticks to the tree trunk and can be easily ignored by my energy sensing. I have to concentrate to sense it, but this city is full of ruins and rubble, and my sensing error is also relatively large."

Xi Ling said, "So, there may be a lot of this transparent silk around us, but it has not been discovered."

Yun Shuhuai nodded, "Yes, that is to say, we may have fallen into a trap. We haven't found any enemies since we entered the city. We encountered many zombies on the way here, but we didn't see a single zombie in this densely populated city. Isn't it too abnormal?"

After listening to Yun Shuhuai's words, Du Hao rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and said, "Sister-in-law, it feels even more creepy now that you said that, as if something is observing us from a distance."

"Yes, that thing may be waiting for us to go deeper, and then catch us all in one fell swoop."

Ye Ziwan raised her hand and said, "Sister Yun, why do those things think we will go deeper?"

"You forgot what we are, we are survivors, and survivors have to find supplies. Two years after the end of the world, the supplies outside the city are almost all found, so the dangerous city center is the survivors' target."

Ye Zixu interrupted, "Oh, I see, once the survivors find that there is no danger outside the city, they will continue to go deeper, and then fall into their trap."

"Yes, it can be said that they are very smart. There may be a powerful corpse king inside. It must have observed humans and set traps based on this."

Yun Shuhuai turned to Du Hao and said, "That's why I won't let you run around. We don't know what the enemy is. It would be terrible if you fall into their trap."

Du Hao scratched his head and said, "Hehe, you worry too much. I'm so fast, nothing can stop me? I can run back before being discovered."

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Yun Shuhuai pinched the silk thread in his hand, tied it tightly, and then touched it with the fingers of his other hand.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a line of blood oozed out of Yun Shuhuai's fingertips, and the blood immediately flowed down along the transparent silk thread.

Before everyone could sigh, Xi Ling suddenly grabbed Yun Shuhuai's injured hand.

"What are you doing?"

He held the injured finger distressedly, and worriedly said: "Does it hurt? Is it serious? Haozi, give me the bandage and the hemostatic medicine..."

Seeing Xi Ling getting more and more outrageous, Yun Shuhuai hurriedly interrupted him.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, I'm fine, it's just a small wound, you forgot, I can fix it myself, you see."

As she said, she wiped her finger, the bleeding stopped, and the wound on it disappeared.

Du Hao couldn't help but complain: "Boss, you are exaggerating. Miss Yun has the ability to heal, and she is not afraid of getting hurt."

Xi Ling gradually calmed down, "Sorry, I forgot, I was just... too anxious."

Yun Shuhuai leaned over and kissed him, saying, "It's okay, I'm happy that you care about me." Yun Shuhuai

was very touched that Xi Ling cared about her so much, but then she thought, this guy obviously knew that she had the ability to heal, but he was merciless when she was sleeping, leaving her with marks all over her body, what's wrong with him?

Xi Ling was really panicked just now, this was outside, the degree of danger was not comparable to that in the base.

But the panic made him dizzy, even if Yun Shuhuai had the ability to heal, he still didn't want to see his lover get hurt.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Yun Shuhuai held up the thread and said, "You saw it just now, this thread is very thin, but it's quite sharp..."

She took out a sharp dagger and cut it lightly, but it didn't cut it.

"Moreover, it has great toughness and strength."

Yun Shuhuai said, and then looked at Du Hao and said, "If you encounter a bunch of invisible threads and run over quickly, you might be cut into several pieces by them."

Du Hao listened to Yun Shuhuai's calm tone, and his mind filled in the miserable situation after he was blocked by the thread, and then he shuddered violently.

Although he was fast, his physical fitness was only slightly better than that of ordinary people, and he couldn't be invulnerable to knives and guns.

If he can see the danger, he will definitely be able to avoid it. This invisible threat is his biggest weakness.

Ye Zixu exclaimed: "How terrible, what should we do?"

"Of course we should keep going forward. Since those things are trying to encircle and annihilate us, how can I let them do so? We are here for the crystal core after all. Let's go and kill them."

Yun Shuhuai glanced at his companions who were hesitant to speak and said: "Why, are you scared? Let me tell you, I just sensed that a circle of silk threads has been formed on the road we came from. They have blocked our way back."

Du Hao said: "I'm not afraid, but the silk threads are too difficult to entangle. It feels impossible to defend against them. How should we avoid them?"

"Well, let me think about it."

Xi Ling suddenly patted Yun Shuhuai on the shoulder and said, "I have a way."

Half an hour later, everyone went downstairs and continued to walk deeper into the city.

Considering the dangers that might be encountered later, Yun Shuhuai took the pot-stuffed meat back into the space.

The deeper you go, the taller the surrounding trees are, and the huge tree crowns cover the sky.

If you hadn't seen the dilapidated buildings and traces of the city, you would have thought you had entered a tropical rain forest.

The air was very humid, and you could squeeze out moisture from the moss on the ground when you stepped on it.

Everyone had already put on sturdy and convenient equipment in advance, and everyone wore transparent windproof goggles on their eyes and a mask on their face.

They continued to advance in full gear.

As they walked further, they gradually discovered more and more threads on the nearby tree trunks, realizing that they were approaching the culprit. Xi Ling asked, "Did you sense it?" "Oh, so that's how it is." Suddenly, Yun Shuhuai stopped.

They all became alert.

"Yes, it turns out that the culprits who regarded us as prey are a group of spiders, a group of zombie spiders with half of human bodies growing on their bodies."

"Spiders! It's spiders, I'm most afraid of spiders!"

Du Hao screamed in surprise, but received contempt from the people around him.

"Why? Is it okay to be afraid of spiders?"

Yun Shuhuai patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's not a real spider."

Du Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Shuhuai continued: "It's a bridal zombie spider that is a fusion of humans and spiders."

Du Hao: ...

Is there any difference? It's still a spider.

"Don't worry, those things are still zombies in essence. If you are afraid, then hide here and we will go by ourselves."

After Yun Shuhuai finished speaking, Du Hao clearly felt the disappointed look of his boss and hurriedly said: "How can that be? Of course I want to go too!"

Yun Shuhuai curled the corners of his lips, "Then let's go."

Now they are close to the encirclement of zombies. Although no zombies can be sensed from nearby, they must be hiding in the distance and observing them.

After all, spiders rely on spider silk to sense prey, and there is no need to get close.

The zombie that was sensed just now was only sensed for a moment, and it ran away quickly.

It seems that these zombies have intelligence, which is not easy to deal with.

Being stared at by so many zombies, Yun Shuhuai couldn't open the energy shield. She didn't want to face those zombies directly.

Since these zombies dared to set a trap for them, don't blame her for swindling them.

"Stop first." Yun Shuhuai said.

Everyone stopped obediently, and then watched Yun Shuhuai step on the ground. A circle of ice walls rose on the ground with them as the center.

Even under their feet, a thick layer of ice rose.

The ice wall rose, and then completely wrapped them up, leaving no gaps.

Before Du Hao could complain, the surrounding ice layer broke again.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? I thought you were going to make an ice ball and roll in directly."

"...You have a really rich imagination. I'm sorry that I can't do as you wish. I just used the barrier to open the energy shield so that the zombies can't find us. Of course, if you want to go in on an ice ball, I can satisfy you."

Du Hao quickly refused, "No, no, I'm just kidding, haha."
