Chapter 15
The lobby on the first floor of the logistics department occupies a large area. Only Su Ci and a few others are standing there, which seems very empty.
Looking at the cracked window and feeling all kinds of strange movements in the lobby, Luo Shengfei's face turned pale.
If the monster outside rushed in, there were only three of them, plus a keeper who had no combat experience, and it would be impossible to deal with it!
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, another male passenger who ran in with him forced a smile on his face. He pretended to be calm and said: "Don't worry, the monster will not come in. There is no such precedent..."
But looking at the more and more fine lines on the window, his voice gradually weakened, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
According to past experience, the monster in the red mist will not attack the building... Now the building is being destroyed, although only one metal plate of the protective window is broken, but...
how can we guarantee that this monster will not enter the building?
Watching such a huge monster destroying the protective metal in front of it, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be completely fearless.
The young woman who opened the map to check has already closed the map, and then took out a pistol from her waist and guarded it in front of her.
"Didn't a fight just happen?" she said seriously, "Where are the people from the Operations Department?"
If the fight wasn't over yet, the people from the Operations Department wouldn't have allowed the monster to attack the Logistics Department building without stopping it, but if the fight was over, didn't that mean... that
all the people from the Operations Department had died?
Hearing the woman's analysis, Luo Shengfei was horrified, "Isn't that possible?"
Although he denied it subconsciously, he felt it made sense.
Seeing that the three people were obviously in grief and fear, Su Ci next to them thought for a moment and comforted them, "Maybe there is more than one monster?"
Then, he was met with angry stares from the three people.
Although this was true, the people from the Operations Department might be dealing with another monster, so they didn't have time to get here, but - wouldn't the situation be worse? !
Su Ci blinked innocently, and No. 1, who was standing next to him, listened to their conversation. For some reason, he felt like laughing even though he should be nervous and scared.
The four adults looked at each other in silence in the dimming light.
Finally, Luo Shengfei said helplessly, "For safety reasons, let's leave here first."
Regardless of whether the monster would come in or not, the whispers and laughter echoing in his ears still made him feel terrified.
Moreover, he didn't know if it was because of the high concentration of pollutants on his body. Luo Shengfei felt that he could not control his emotions, and some tragic and painful thoughts always emerged in his mind.
The man nodded. He had just vowed that the monster would not come in, but now he was the first one to walk towards the stairs, and he was walking faster and faster, almost running.
The young woman followed closely behind with a pistol in hand.
Luo Shengfei took a few steps and looked back to find Su Ci still standing there. He hurried over to grab his arm and dragged him along.
Seeing the man and woman walking upstairs, he said, "Let's go to the underground warehouse. If we are separated, we will be smaller targets, and the underground warehouse is more well-protected..."
However, before he finished speaking, his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground. Su Ci, who was being pulled by him, also stumbled.
Number One, who was trotting beside them, couldn't help but stop and looked at Su Ci nervously.
Su Ci was fine, but Luo Shengfei fell to the ground, his eyes tightly closed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face showed anger and fear.
"No! Let me go!"
He tightly closed his eyes, as if he was trapped in some kind of hallucination, his whole body twitched, crying in pain, tall and strong, but at this moment he looked particularly helpless and pitiful.
"Hehe - hehe -"
Su Ci tilted his head slightly and vaguely heard a happy low laugh, which was more childish than the laughter mixed in the sound of rain, like a naughty kid who succeeded in a prank.
Su Ci frowned, but did not act rashly.
His companion fell to the ground, the metal protective wall trembled more violently, and strange laughter echoed in his ears.
The thin and frail young man stayed in the empty hall, and there was no fear in his beautiful black eyes like glass. There
was even a bit of curiosity in his calmness.
Seeing him like this, No. 1 was even less afraid. He squatted down beside Luo Shengfei, stretched out his finger, and poked his cheek quietly.
Although it was also soft to the touch, the skin was obviously not as soft and smooth as the keeper's, No. 1 couldn't help thinking.
The sound of rain coming in was getting more and more urgent.
"Crack-crack-crack-"
The sound of shattering glass continued, as if the god of death was striking the funeral bell. Luo Shengfei, who was completely trapped in a nightmare, twitched even more violently.
At this moment, the metal shield was split open in the middle, and something twisted, eagerly drilling in through the cracks in the window glass.
It was a thin thread like a spider's silk, which seemed to be stained by rain and glowed with a crystalline light.
"Alert! Alert! There is a large unknown creature..."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The alarm on the wall was split into several threads and shattered one by one, accompanied by a series of explosions mixed with crackling electric currents, and the screaming and piercing alarm finally stopped.
The mumbling and laughter also disappeared, and the hall fell into a brief silence.
Boom!
Along with a thunder, a huge shadow was reflected on the window, silent and terrifying.
"Ah-ah-"
Luo Shengfei suddenly screamed loudly, as if he had encountered something painful and desperate in his dream, and his crying broke the silence.
Like a butterfly falling into a spider web, causing every silk thread to tremble.
The straightened silk thread silently pulled out from the damaged alarm, and then gathered into one again, and then shot towards Luo Shengfei who was crying and shouting on the ground.
"Crack-crack-" The sound of glass breaking became louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of rapid rain, as if it was a death warrant.
The thread fell on Luo Shengfei, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped him up like a cocoon.
The monster that controlled everything began to close the net.
The thread tightened, and Luo Shengfei's screams rang out. The mumbling and laughter that had just quieted down reappeared, becoming more rampant, as if welcoming a carnival.
At this tense and terrifying moment...
Su Ci stretched out a finger.
Yes, Su Ci stretched out his index finger.
The thin white fingers, with a healthy and delicate pink on the fingertips, gently touched the tightened thread that passed in front of him.
His movements were really casual.
It was like the silk thread that bound Luo Shengfei, just hanging in front of his eyes. Out of curiosity, he raised his hand to touch it, but who knew...
"Snap--"
With a light sound, the silk thread that was tightly bound Luo Shengfei and had been soaked and dyed red by blood, was actually...
broken by the young man's light touch.
"Chi!!!!"
An angry and miserable scream came from the window. The window, which was originally full of cracks, was shattered into pieces under the impact of the sound wave, and fell to the ground.
Su Ci's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously raised his head.
As his eyes moved up, he saw a huge spider, at least as tall as a two-story building. The light red hairs on its body stood up one by one, and countless compound eyes, large and small, emitted a bloodthirsty red light, looking down at him from above.
"Chi!!!!"
When Su Ci raised his head, the giant spider waved its two forelimbs, its fangs wide open, and made a sharp and fierce hissing sound, as if it was going to tear Su Ci to pieces in the next second.
So fierce...
Su Ci blinked lightly.
?
The furious giant spider, with its forelimbs stabbing downwards, suddenly stopped in mid-air, from extreme movement to extreme stillness, as if it was fighting against some invisible huge force. Not only did it fail to stab down, but it also stiffly retreated little by little.
Finally, unable to resist, the giant spider, wrapped in an even more miserable cry of pain, quickly faded away in front of Su Ci's eyes, as if it had been kicked away.
As the spider disappeared, Su Ci came to his senses and looked around.
The spider did not appear in the hall, and what he just saw seemed to be an illusion.
"Chi!!!!"
The shrill sound of insects came from outside the building, but the huge figure lying on the window quickly retreated, revealing the blood rain that was still pouring outside.
Then, the sound of fighting came in - the people from the Operations Department finally arrived.
As the giant spider went away, the strange phenomenon in the hall subsided.
The mumbling and laughter that seemed to be able to distort the space disappeared, and Su Ci could vaguely hear a childish voice cursing in the distance.
Finally, the cursing could no longer be heard.
In the hall, broken glass was scattered all over the floor. Strangely, the pouring rain outside did not splash in, as if it was blocked by something invisible.
Su Ci looked outside for a few times, then retracted his gaze and looked down at Luo Shengfei, but he was unexpectedly met with a pair of dark red eyes.
The child tilted his head back and stared at him without blinking. He didn't know how he understood what had just happened.
Su Ci didn't care and said softly, "It's okay."
Number One nodded, looking at him with bright eyes. After looking at him for a few more times, he and Su Ci looked at Luo Shengfei who was lying on the ground.
His upper body, including his entire head, was entangled by silk threads, leaving only his two legs twitching and shaking.
Without the control of the monster, the silk threads loosened, and the blood that seeped out of Luo Shengfei's body seemed to be absorbed. The silk threads became as clean as new, with only a faint light red fluorescence flowing through them, revealing a bit of weirdness.
Su Ci reached out, picked up the broken thread, and looked at it with interest.
Who would have thought that as he pulled, the silk thread tied to Luo Shengfei's body actually began to retract, and left Luo Shengfei's body smoothly like flowing water.
When it finally stopped retracting, only a small section of about ten centimeters was left.
