Chapter 97 Spider
Spider.
What a big spider.
Under the bridge leading to the east, there is a huge spider.
Yun Shuhuai and Xi Qing were lying on the roof not far from the bridge, looking through binoculars at the only way to the east.
This bridge is very grand, a traffic hub connecting the two ends of the city, and it is not comparable to the bridges leading from the university town to the island in the middle of the lake.
The arch of the bridge is very large, and ships can sail underneath, but now the ships in the river are parked randomly, and some are lying across the river, blocking the river, and there are also many zombies standing on it.
Under the bridge arch was a huge spider. The bridge deck was almost completely covered by white spider webs. The spider silk was entangled on the bridge piers and the steel frame under the bridge. There were also many cobweb-like objects wrapped in spider silk hanging under the bridge.
They didn't need to guess. They knew that there were people inside.
The spider was not only huge in size, but also very scary in appearance. Its dark body was covered with red spikes, as if it was covered with a hard exoskeleton. It had more than eight eyes on its head, densely distributed on the top of its head, like a tumor. Its eight long legs were covered with fine hairs, which allowed it to lie firmly on the spider web.
At this time, its two front legs were holding a cocoon to its mouthparts, with long fangs inserted into it, as if enjoying the food. Bright red blood oozed out of the cocoon and fell into the river. After a while, the river surface was boiling. A group of fish with teeth were fighting fiercely for the blood dripping into the river. Some of them were waiting for feeding from above with their mouths wide open.
The spider ate one and threw the dry cocoon into the water. The fish went crazy immediately. The cocoon was quickly torn into pieces after falling into the water, and then swallowed by these fish.
"Oh my god, what is this?" Xi Qing exclaimed with her teeth bared.
Yun Shuhuai replied: "The one above is a mutant spider, and the one below is a zombie fish. This spider is already at level four."
"My God, how many people has it eaten?" Xi Qing looked from the beginning to the end of the bridge with a telescope. There were too many nets hanging under the bridge to count.
There were several scrapped armored vehicles parked on the bridge deck, and there were traces of bombardment on the bridge. It can be seen that this spider has been conquered before, but it seems that they have all failed.
Xi Qing said: "Are we sure we want to go through here? There is more than one bridge to the east."
There are two other bridges not far from this bridge. There are only vehicles blocking the two bridges. It is not difficult for them to pass through.
"Indeed, but have you ever thought about this, since the bridge is blocked, it means that no one will pass by, so where do all the food hanging under it come from?"
After being reminded by Yun Shuhuai, Xi Qing continued: "You mean, this spider will leave the bridge and hunt elsewhere in the city?"
"Yes, I guess this bridge is the nest of this mutant spider, and this city is its hunting ground. Haven't you noticed that we haven't seen any other survivors since we entered this city?"
Xi Qing also realized it. She didn't care much about it before, but when she thought about it carefully, either the people who came in became food for the spiders, or others knew that this place was dangerous and so they didn't dare to come in.
The fourth-level mutant spider was higher in level than most psychics, and the highest-level psychic they had seen recently was only at level four. Generally speaking, mutant animals were more difficult to deal with than humans of the same level, and this spider was wearing armor, so its defense was visibly high.
Yun Shuhuai put down the telescope and took out a drone and said, "It seems that it has plenty of food, so we didn't encounter this thing in the city a few days ago. But if we ignore it now, we might encounter it again in the future. We might as well get rid of it directly."
"How to solve it? It's hiding under the bridge, and supernatural powers can't hit it. Should we use our joint skills?"
"In that case, this bridge will be overturned by us. I want to keep this bridge. It may pass by it again in the future. Let's lead it out from under the bridge first."
Yun Shuhuai released the drone and controlled it to fly towards the spider. The
drone flew closer and closer, and the full appearance of the spider gradually appeared on the small screen.
Although it was seen through the screen, it was really creepy to see the details of the spider so closely. The thick fangs bit a cocoon, blood oozed out of the cocoon, and the sound of bones breaking came from the screen. The crack of the cocoon revealed a twisted face with eyes wide open and half of the head missing. The
drone was too small compared to the size of the spider. Yun Shuhuai controlled it to fly in front of the spider and shook it, but it was ignored. Later, when music was played, it finally attracted its attention. The eyes on its head turned and looked at the drone at the same time. Yun Shuhuai and the other person all got goosebumps.
It's not because it's too strong, but because this scene is so disgusting, it's simply a benefit for people with claustrophobia, it makes people feel embarrassed.
Yun Shuhuai felt that the spider seemed to be able to see them through the drone, and being stared at by so many eyes really made people feel very uncomfortable.
"I can't stand it anymore, let's quickly lure it out and kill it." Xi Qing rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and said with great disgust.
Yun Shuhuai also agreed with her suggestion very much, and controlled the drone to move a little further away from the spider. She planned to lure the spider down from the bridge and assist Xi Qing in killing it with one blow.
The spider was hiding under the bridge, and generally it could not be hit, but if they wanted to save the bridge, they had to lure it out.
Yun Shuhuai also thought about using fire to force it out. The spider silk under the bridge should be easily burned by the fire, but there were too many spider silks and they could not guarantee the size of the fire, especially since there were armored vehicles on the bridge. If there were bombs inside, they would accidentally ignite and blow up the bridge, and then their efforts would be in vain.
So they used the most commonly used drone attraction method.
But things did not go as planned. The spider just looked at the drone, without even putting down the food in its hand, and sprayed a mouthful of spider silk at the drone. Then the propeller of the drone was entangled and fell directly from the air into the water. It was torn into pieces by a group of zombie fish. Then they found that the drone could not be eaten, so they let the remains float on the water.
Yun Shuhuai: "..."
Xi Qing: "I feel underestimated."
"I don't believe it, try again!"
Yun Shuhuai took out another drone and controlled it to fly towards the spider. This time the drone was far away from the spider, and began to approach it little by little until it attracted its attention.
The spider sprayed a mouthful of spider silk again, and Yun Shuhuai controlled the drone to dodge. The spider wanted to chase it after it failed once. After attracting the spider, the drone began to fly upwards. Yun Shuhuai planned to lead it to the bridge deck first, and then continue to lead it to the shore. The bridge columns and booms on the bridge could also provide cover for the drone so that it would not be shot down by it again soon.
But the drone was frozen in the air as soon as it flew onto the bridge. No matter how Yun Shuhuai tried to control it, it couldn't move. The spider climbed up from under the bridge, raised its leg and smashed it directly, then it slowly crawled back under the bridge and continued to enjoy its food.
