Chapter 044 Cannibalization-18 (End)
After surviving in the wilderness at school for several days, the dawn of hope finally arrived.
On this day, the deadly white fog that enveloped the entire campus gradually dissipated. The gentle sunlight penetrated the treetops and dispelled the chill on the horizon. The surviving students all poked their heads out from the hidden corners of the buildings.
"Listen, it's the sound of a car."
"The end...is it over?"
“I’m literally freezing to death.”
It is summer now, but people are in a panic because of the sudden monster invasion. Even the weather has become polluted, and heavy rain has been falling since the disaster.
Some people took off the thin blankets they were still wrapped in and walked to a warm place to absorb the first rays of sunshine.
"Ah, it's over!"
Wang Xu stretched out his arms and made a gesture of embracing the sun.
"Don't be happy so early. What if those monsters are driving?" Su Ze walked over and said.
Wang Xu's face changed.
Seeing this, Su Ze chuckled: "I'm just talking casually, why are you so nervous?"
"Based on my observations during this period, the monsters have at most grown in size and speed, but no matter how they change, they are still wild beasts." Su Ze continued, "They can only use their claws and fangs, which is very different from humans. Of course, your talking dog is an exception."
"But don't worry, the person who can drive is definitely a human. I can tell from the sound that the car's trajectory is still very stable."
Wang Xu pursed his lips. He just thought of Meng Tang, the spider spirit that had evolved into a complete human form.
He was really afraid that there would be more monsters like Mengtang. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to tell whether the people around him were human or ghost.
Of course, Wang Xu's worries are unnecessary for the time being.
After all, no monster can be like Meng Tang, who endured suffering and mutated several times in order to pursue his wife, just for a human body.
"--Bang!!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out rapidly into everyone's ears.
"What's that noise?"
"What's going on?"
"Is it the police or the □□?"
The sound of cars was getting closer and closer, and Wang Xu had an urge to run away. In fact, the monsters in the school did not disappear. They usually sleep during the day, but the loud noise can easily wake them up, so now they are gathering at the school gate at the risk of their lives.
"Do you want to go back?"
Su Ze noticed Wang Xu's hesitation and asked.
Wang Xu scratched his cheek and said, "Let's go back to find Jiang Yan and the others first."
"good."
Just as the group was about to turn back, they suddenly heard a loud noise behind them. When they looked closely, they saw a giant lizard comparable to the Hulk.
"Fuck, it's huge!"
Wang Xu shouted subconsciously.
The sound of cars behind them was getting closer and closer, and they were now being attacked from both sides.
"Wow, wow, wow, if I had known I wouldn't have come out."
"It's over. There won't be monsters on both sides."
"Be optimistic. I think we should run to the door. I guess there are people in that car."
The group expressed their opinions until the big lizard took the lead in attacking.
"run!!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and in an instant the hurried footsteps drowned out the sound of cars not far away.
Wang Xu also ran around with the others, and the group tried desperately to avoid the attack of the giant lizard.
“Roar!”
The big lizard seemed a little angry because it didn't catch anyone, so it launched a new and more violent attack.
Suddenly, it caught a person.
It’s Wang Xu.
“Ahhhh!!”
Wang Xu was caught by the lizard's mutated long sharp claws. His already worn school uniform was torn into several holes, and his underpants were faintly visible.
He was lifted high up by the giant lizard, his whole body swaying in the air like seaweed. Under his feet was the lizard's gaping mouth, and his face was distorted with fear.
Su Ze below was very worried when he saw this.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the car that had only existed in the ears finally rushed into the campus. The students looked over like they were seeing a savior and found that it was a group of armed people, each holding a weapon that looked very powerful.
Su Ze noticed that the words "X City Research Institute" were written on the clothes of those people.
Then, these people killed the big lizard in a few moves, and the other students were shocked.
After some questioning, everyone learned that the source of the disaster was a laboratory virus leak, which caused many contaminated animals and plants to mutate.
These days, the government has been taking various rescue measures to prevent the disaster from getting worse.
Nowadays, monsters in other places have been eliminated, and now only a few areas remain.
"The streets outside are safe now, please go home quickly."
The adults holding the machines said, and gave the students several communicators.
"The signal in this area is still being restored. You guys use this for now."
"receive!"
After learning that their family members were still alive, dozens of students rushed to the school gate, including Wang Xu and Su Ze.
"How many monsters are left in the school now?"
"Captain, my device shows that it is mainly concentrated in the teaching building area."
"Okay, you guys follow me, and the rest of you go somewhere else."
"receive!"
“…”
On the other side, in a certain area of the teaching building, white spider silk has surrounded the space completely.
"Wife, will they kill me too?"
Meng Tang stood by the window, picked up a spider silk and looked outside through the gap. In his sight, several armed men were taking action, killing each monster with one shot.
"You are a human being now. Don't do anything later. Just come home with me obediently."
The lights in the room were dim. Jiang Yan leaned against the TV and said, "Behave normally when you follow me and stop spitting spider silk. Remember?"
My wife took him home on her own initiative.
Meng Tang blinked and said happily, "Yes, sir!"
About ten minutes later, those people searched the room they were in.
"What's going on in this room? Is this white spider silk?"
"My equipment indicates there is life inside."
"But this spider silk can't be torn apart. Is there any other way to eliminate these things?"
There were sounds of conversation outside the room. Meng Tang's heart was pounding in the room and his face was a little red.
Logically speaking, he should be afraid. After all, he is also a monster and will be killed by those people outside if he is not careful.
But for some reason, an inexplicable feeling of excitement surged into Meng Tang's mind.
Maybe it was because Jiang Yan decided to keep him secretly and take him home, which made him feel cherished by his wife, so he was in such a good mood.
When other mutated terrifying creatures were destroyed, he was the only one who could be alone in a room with his wife.
Even a monster has a wife who loves him.
A flower blossomed in Meng Tang's heart, as if he tasted the sweetness of love for the first time.
Soon, layer after layer of spider silk at the door was cleared away, and several beams of light fell in. At the same time, Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and looked at his hand held by Meng Tang, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Meng Tang stroked Jiang Yan's fingertips with his fingers and said in a low voice, "Wife, I'm a little nervous."
Jiang Yan said calmly: "I'm here."
"Were you imprisoned here by those monsters?"
Several adults did not enter the room immediately, but stood at the door and watched for a while.
Jiang Yan nodded and said, "It was a big spider that caught us, but for some reason, it just locked us up here and didn't say anything."
The student in front of them spoke sincerely, and after considering it for a while, several adults chose to believe it and waved at the two of them, "Come out quickly, we will take you away."
Jiang Yan pulled Meng Tang and walked towards the stairs with them. During this time, Jiang Yan asked seriously, "Is the disaster over?"
"Yes, we are here to do the cleanup work. Your school is the only one left in this area."
"Oh, that's good."
The damage this time was quite tragic. Many teachers lost their lives trying to protect their students. Now there are less than half of the staff left in the entire school. It is really sad.
"Are you two classmates?" a female adult noticed the two people holding hands tightly and asked.
Jiang Yan was slightly startled. Under Meng Tang's gaze, he curled his lips and smiled, "We are lovers."
Several adults were visibly surprised when they heard this. The woman who asked the question smiled easily and said, "Relationships in this kind of environment are still very precious. I wish you all the best."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly and replied, "Thank you."
Afterwards, they chatted about some family matters to ease the atmosphere. "We can call it a day after we take you out."
Jiang Yan asked, "Are all my other classmates out?"
"Yes, don't worry, they are safe now."
However, just as they were about to reach the first floor, a huge black shadow blocked the only exit to the outside world.
Looking up, I saw a giant python. Its black scales were shiny and bright, reflecting the faces and expressions of everyone in the corridor.
“So big!”
"Oh no, my gun is out of ammunition!"
"Shit, mine too."
"No, you take the two children away first, and we will cover your rear."
"good."
The female member in protective gear gestured to Jiang Yan and Meng Tang, "You two follow me, we'll go around the other side."
"Okay." Jiang Yan replied.
"Your little boyfriend seems a little shy." The female member said with a smile to make the two children less scared.
Jiang Yan pinched the inside of Meng Tang's palm and said, "Yes, he doesn't like to talk much."
Meng Tang's body temperature rose when Jiang Yan touched his hand. His ears turned red and he said, "Yeah, I haven't been talkative since I was a child." But what he was thinking in his heart was: Whatever my wife says is the truth.
The older sister with the two of them smiled, "You two are so cute."
However, surprisingly, there was also a giant monster guarding the other exit.
"Oh no." The older sister blurted out and immediately stopped the two students behind her. "You stay here and escape when the time is right. There are still our team members outside. Go find them to take you home."
After she said that, she grabbed a baseball bat from the corridor and rushed towards the giant ant outside.
Meng Tang tugged at the corner of Jiang Yan's clothes and asked, "Are we going to escape now?"
Jiang Yan thought that staying here would be a burden. These adults have all been professionally trained. Instead of staying here and being a drag, the two of them might as well go out and find external help.
So Jiang Yan said, "Come on, follow me closely."
Meng Tang replied: "Okay, I will catch you."
Just as the two were about to rush out of the stairs, the giant ant suddenly rushed over. Meng Tang got nervous and subconsciously transformed into a spider spirit, holding Jiang Yan in his arms to resist the ant's attack.
Jiang Yan was shrouded in darkness. He could feel the soft spider hairs from Meng Tang rubbing against his skin.
In fact, the spider hair of Mengtang is hard. In order to better protect itself, he was afraid of being pricked by the ginger salt in his arms, so he deliberately softened the part of the spider hair that came into contact with the ginger salt, turning it into something as light and soft as feathers.
Meng Tang, who turned back to his original form, protected Jiang Yan while fighting fiercely with the giant ants.
"What the hell, what is this, a spider?"
Several adult men who had defeated the giant lizard rushed to the only female member of the team. She was slightly injured by a sneak attack from a giant ant, and several men lifted her up and prepared to retreat.
"Wait, there are those two students." She pointed at two monsters fighting not far away.
“Eated?”
"No, I'm not sure either." She was lost in strange thoughts. The shock of the scene just now was so strong that it took her a long time to sort out the context. "I saw a child turned into a spider."
"Is that the one that's fighting?"
“…It seems so.”
On the other side, the spider spirit Mengtang was fighting with a giant ant. The little spider's hair fell all over the ground and it was almost bald.
Seeing this, Meng Tang became furious.
Those damn ants are almost biting him bald. If he becomes bald, his wife won’t like him anymore.
He wants to save his most handsome look for his wife!
Thinking of this, Meng Tang turned on the rampage mode and started beating the giant ant violently with just a few "cracks", almost beating it into a puzzle.
Never mess with a monster who has a wife!
The consequences will be serious!
"Okay, honey, the danger is over."
The spider lifted Jiang Yan from its belly and lifted him off the ground as if he were a treasure. It smiled at Jiang Yan with its weird face, like an innocent big boy, ignoring his species.
Jiang Yan had just escaped from the darkness and hadn't recovered yet when a spider spirit several times bigger than him leaned over and rubbed its head against him, mumbling, "Wife, I want to praise you!"
Jiang Yan had a headache. If he hadn't been used to Meng Tang's appearance, he would have been scared to death.
"Fuck."
Well, someone is already frightened.
The man and the spider then noticed that there were several other people present. When they looked up, they were faced with several cold gun muzzles.
They had already found support, and their magazines were now fully loaded with bullets. But this was not a good thing for Jiang Yan and the others.
Even though he knew he was the one who was about to be executed, Spider still took the initiative to stand in front of Jiang Yan, isolating him from the cold muzzle of the gun.
"Wife, I may have to say goodbye to you."
“…”
"Wife, I have some last words to say."
Only Jiang Yan could hear the spider's words. A few adults not far away shouted to Jiang Yan anxiously, "Kid, stay away from that spider."
Jiang Yan asked: "What last words?"
"I haven't had babies with you yet," the spider said. "I know you've always wanted lots of cute little spider babies."
Jiang Yan: “…”
"Well, I want it." The spider continued, "In fact, I have already imagined our future life. You and I, and our lovely baby, live together in the beautiful house I built. We eat, watch TV, read, and go to bed."
“…”
"Wife, I really love you."
Jiang Yan said “hmm”.
The spider didn't know why, but it felt that his wife suddenly became cold again, as if it had returned to a long time ago, when it was just a small spider in the room, always hiding on the ceiling and peeping at the handsome boy in the room.
"Wife, spiders and humans... is it really impossible?"
Jiang Yan's lips moved, he sighed, and stepped forward to hold a fluffy spider paw from Meng Tang. The breeze gently blew the boy's hair, and even the hem of his school uniform swayed a few times.
After a moment, a gentle voice mixed in the wind, "I don't know about other spiders, but what I do know is that a spider named Mengtang is in love with a human named Jiangyan."
My heart was pounding and my spider hairs were standing up.
Gradually, the spider began to take on a human shape, slowly regaining its human form. A young man with long, thin, pale hair and fair skin.
Mengtang seemed to have grown a little taller and was almost a head taller than Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan, as if possessed by a ghost, stood on tiptoe and kissed the other person's cold lips.
Meng Tang blushed and his eyes were dull. He even forgot how to kiss for a moment, even though he was the one who kissed Jiang Yan the most in the middle of the night.
But at this moment, she looks innocent and shy.
"Wait a moment!!"
A female voice suddenly sounded.
But it was too late.
The team member who arrived later saw a huge spider in front of him and fired subconsciously. The bullet was specially designed to deal with monsters and was fatal in one shot.
So, Jiang Yan tasted a little blood at the corner of the other person's mouth.
Everyone present was shocked. They had not expected that even until its death, the spider would still be protecting the human in its arms!
——When the bullet flew over, the spider quickly spit out silk to wrap up the ginger salt, but he exposed his fragile back to everyone.
The bullet then passed through the spine of the spider spirit, which had transformed into half human form, and stabbed straight into the heart, causing blood to rush through the body in an instant.
"It hurts." "Honey, are you okay?"
This was Meng Tang’s last words.
At the same time, Jiang Yan was eaten by spider silk and was hidden in the cocoon. As for the person who spit out the spider silk and hid him, he... could never touch him again.
A few weeks later.
The world has regained order and the countdown to the college entrance examination has begun.
On this day, Jiang Yan was studying for an exam at his relative's house as usual. The TV in the living room was turned up very loud, making a lot of noise. His cousin Jiang Nao would come over from time to time to pick a fight.
But this time, Jiang Yan did not choose to endure it. He threw his cousin's exercise book out of the window in front of him and said, "Do your own homework."
"You!" Jiang Nao wanted to curse something, but unfortunately it was raining. He was afraid that the exercise book would get wet, so he glared at Jiang Yan angrily and hurried downstairs.
The rainstorm was so heavy that the power station temporarily shut down the Internet cable, so the aunts and uncles in the living room couldn't watch TV and could only go back to their rooms to sleep with little interest.
The world finally quieted down.
Jiang Yan was sitting in front of an old desk when suddenly a loud thunder exploded in his ears.
When Jiang Yan was in the orphanage, he was afraid of thunder. But after being adopted by his relatives and moved into this room, he was no longer afraid of thunder.
He thought it was because of his relatives, and perhaps the sense of belonging to his family made him no longer afraid.
But now, Jiang Yan thinks it is because of Mengtang.
Once on a thunderstorm day, Jiang Yan stayed alone in the room, unaware that there was a spider on the ceiling looking at him.
Two lonely beings met in a room.
But the spider left, and Jiang Yan felt that he should be afraid of thunder again, but he wasn't.
Suddenly, a current-like feeling arose in his heart. Jiang Yan was startled, then turned around and looked up at the ceiling.
The spider web that disappeared for a long time...is back again.
"Mom, mom."
Who is speaking?
Jiang Yan turned around and was surprised to find a pupa on the exercise book, with a small white spider slowly crawling out of it.
"Are you...Mengtang? Or his son?"
Their eyes were all dark green, which made Jiang Yan have to guess.
“No, no…”
Jiang Yan let the little spider crawl onto his fingertips, held his finger and sucked it, only licking his skin without biting it to bleed.
"Wife, I'm back."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind me.
Before Jiang Yan could turn around, something gently hugged him from behind.
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
Jiang Yan didn't look back, but he could feel the man behind him resting his head on his shoulder, "Listen to the good news first."
"The good news is that I'm back again!"
"So...what about the bad news?"
"The bad news is that the price of my genetic recombination this time is splitting, which means splitting into many different sizes of me." The man behind him said, "But don't worry, I am the real one. As for the others... I will be your sons."
"…Hmm? How many?"
"It just split into hundreds of millions of bits and pieces."
Suddenly, Jiang Yan felt a chill on the soles of his feet. He looked down and found that the backs of his feet were covered with spiders of all sizes, and they were still vaguely shouting, "Mom, Mom."
Jiang Yan: “…”
"I don't care, you can't dislike me." The man behind him said childishly, "Just remember that I'm the real deal, and you can only have me as your husband!"
His heartbeat started beating gently again, and Jiang Yan laughed and said, "Okay, okay."
——It was like an illusion, eating away at his entire heart.
