Chapter 126
Gu Hongying: “…”
He tried to make a desperate attempt: "Maybe the signal here is bad, or there is a jammer."
Yu Tu exhaled slowly: "This is the city center."
It's impossible that there is no signal anywhere, especially in the city center. It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. If there really is a shielding device, it would be even more bizarre.
The watches are only used for communication in the inner world. They rely on mobile phones to communicate in the outer world. Now their mobile phones cannot be turned on and are in a black screen state.
Gu Hongying looked up at the building, thought for a moment, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Our location has disappeared, someone will definitely come to rescue us."
Freshmen and sophomores at Miller College carry their student ID cards when entering and leaving the barrier. Their location is on the ID cards, and if the location disappears for a long time, it will definitely attract the attention of the teachers.
The two men were determined not to go in, so they retreated directly into the car and began a long wait.
Half an hour later——
Gu Hongying: "Tu Tu, did you hear any sound?"
Yu Tu: “!!!”
Before the thought "It's over" came to Yu Tu's mind, a shadow jumped out from the wide open door on the first floor. The shadow passed through the open car window and directly hit Yu Tu, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Yu Tu was hit so hard that his eyes went black.
"What the hell!" Gu Hongying was shocked. "What is that?"
What hit Yu Tu's heart was a ball of "unknown creature" wrapped in a spider web. The gray-green spider web was like a cocoon. Something in the cocoon was struggling constantly, and then some pieces bulged out from the east and some from the west.
Yu Tu held his chest, which was hurt by the blow, and leaned to one side to catch his breath. Gu Hongying grabbed the cobweb and the touch under his hand seemed familiar to him through the sticky spider silk: "...rabbit?"
His arms were kicked several times.
"School distress signal?" Gu Hongying grimaced in pain, "Who's the unlucky one?"
After taking a breath, Yu Tu took off a multi-functional military knife from his waist. The blade popped out, he grabbed the edge of the spider silk and carefully cut a hole in the silk. With a "squeak" sound, a familiar-looking furry rabbit head emerged from the cobweb.
"Phew—I'm suffocating!"
The rabbit spoke in a familiar voice.
"Zhizhi?!" Yu Tu was shocked. "Why is it you?"
"It's a long story." Hao Zhizhi felt very upset, "Just let me out first!"
While the two men were busy cutting the spider silk with knives, there was a loud noise suddenly from the third floor of the building, followed by the sound of breaking glass. In the huge hole, a faint fire could be seen in the gray-green spider silk that was baring its fangs and claws, but the fire was soon covered up and the spider silk surged out like a tide, heading straight towards them.
"Fuck!" x3.
Gu Hongying started the car reflexively, but he released the clutch too quickly, the car shook and stalled on the spot.
In just a few seconds of delay, spider silk had already poured down from above, wrapped around the car and dragged it towards the building. The car stumbled on the ground and the three people in the car felt dizzy.
Gu Hongying: "Car repairs are so expensive! Help!"
Hao Zhizhi: "It's already this late and you're still asking for repair fees! Call the police!"
Yu Tu: "My phone is black and there is no signal."
The gray-green spider silk dragged the car up the stairs, bumping and banging, and then crashed into the pillar in front of the building, making a loud noise. After the loud noise, the spider silk changed direction and dragged them towards the wide-open door on the first floor.
Through the faint gaps between the sticky spider webs, there seemed to be a silver light coming from the direction of the stairs. The light expanded rapidly from a point to a surface, looking like a formation.
The silver formation collided with the gray-green spider silk, causing a violent explosion. The web formed by the spider silk spun rapidly as if it had been thrown into a washing machine, making people dizzy.
Yu Tu coughed repeatedly in the dust and couldn't open his eyes. He felt that his hands were inexplicably empty - he seemed to be no longer in the car.
After the intense feeling of weightlessness passed, he seemed to be thrown somewhere and his back hit the solid ground.
"Hiss——" Yu Tu gasped in pain.
The blurred eyes gradually felt less uncomfortable. Yu Tu rubbed them hard and finally saw his current situation clearly—he was in a room that looked like an office.
There is a long table in each of the four corners of the room, leaving a cross-shaped passage between the four tables. Documents are piled randomly on the tables, and a computer monitor is placed in the middle. Behind the tables is an ergonomic chair, and under the table is a computer host. In the remaining space, you can see potted plants, ornaments, magazines and a water dispenser.
Everything looked very similar to a normal office building, if they were not covered with a thick layer of dust and a lot of cobwebs.
Dim light filtered in through the half-open window, and visibility was low.
Yu Tu got up from the ground and dusted himself off. They had been tied up by gray-green spider silk in the car before, and now he was inexplicably the only one left.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that Yu Tu could only hear his own breathing and a faint rustling sound.
There was a gray-green spider web between the west monitor and the desktop panel. A spider the size of a fingernail was perched in the center of the web, and it was unclear whether it was dead or alive.
Yu Tu did not get closer. He took a deep breath and walked carefully towards the door, trying his best to avoid the spider webs that were visible to the naked eye.
The door was half-open, and the handle was also covered with a thick layer of dust. Yu Tu stepped sideways and saw an extremely shocking scene—
The circular building has seven floors. The crystal lamps that should have been hanging irregularly from the seventh floor to the second floor are now filled with gray-green "coils" of various sizes. Some of these coils are clinging to the crystal lamps, and some are hanging on unknown vines. Each "coil" is covered with thick dust. They hang high and low, blocking the skylight coming through the top glass. The one closest to Yu Tu is less than a meter away.
The last time Yu Tu saw such a horrifying scene was the densely packed skeletons kneeling outside the sacrificial formation in the underground cave.
Yu Tu carefully bypassed the cocoons that were about to fall into the corridor, preparing to find Gu Hongying and Hao Zhizhi first. If nothing unexpected happened, they should also be in a room in this building.
Walking outside the office, the rustling sound became more obvious, as if something was climbing up and down on the coils. In the dim light, Yu Tu saw many gray-green spiders as big as fingernails emerging from the shadows where the light could not reach. They spit out gray-green spider silk and began to weave webs in the gaps.
Yu Tu tried his best to avoid snares, spiders and spider webs, but there were so many of them that he inevitably got some on his body.
Yu Tu checked the two rooms next to the floor he was in. One was the same office he came out of, and the other was a tea room. The tea room was also covered with dust, and there were several uncollected cups on the small bar.
Yu Tu found it a bit strange. Judging from the things placed in the two rooms he checked, the building was not abandoned in a panic, but it also did not seem like the move was premeditated.
If I have to find a similar analogy, it's like students tidying up their desks after school. The people here tidy up and leave work normally, but for some reason, no one comes back. It's like the last office where things were neatly arranged, but you can still see some personal items on many workstations.
It’s really strange…
Yu Tu turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly felt a chill. He turned around suddenly and saw a "person" standing quietly at the door of the tea room.
It had many eyes on its face, and the skin outside the eyes was highly decayed and covered in dust. Its hair was replaced by gray-green spider silk, which stretched from its neck to its ankles. Many parts of its body were rotten to the point that the bones were exposed, but at the heart position in its chest, eight hairy spider legs were waving as if they were alive, blocking the entire tea room door.
Yu Tu was almost frightened to the point of stopping breathing.
This "person" with an extremely terrifying appearance stared at Yu Tu. In fear, Yu Tu could vaguely feel its emotions, which seemed to be anger, irritation, and disdain, but they were too weak and disappeared in a flash.
The weird Spider-Man walked towards Yu Tu. Yu Tu stepped back and leaned his back against the table behind the bar. Yu Tu slowly put his hands behind his back.
Spider-Man's movements were very slow. When his spider legs were less than half a meter away from Yu Tu's body after he crossed over the bar, Yu Tu grabbed the coffee machine on the table, which was covered with thick dust, and with the good accuracy he had trained during this period, he smashed it hard into Spider-Man's face!
Spider-Man took a few steps back, his eight legs waving wildly in the air. Yu Tu climbed onto the small bar with one hand, flipped over nimbly, and ran quickly towards the tea room door.
After running out of the tea room, Yu Tu closed the door behind him. The Spider-Man who was temporarily trapped behind the door let out a sharp hiss, and the gray-green cocoon hanging above his head kept vibrating, and the densely packed little spiders crawled faster.
Behind some of the "繭", there seemed to be human figures vaguely visible.
It seemed like every direction was a dead end.
Yu Tu's heart was beating fast. After entering the surface world, the suppressed weak wood spiritual power flowed in his body. There seemed to be a voice in the dark saying—
Go downstairs.
At this life-threatening moment, he could only choose to trust his intuition. Yu Tu bypassed several "coils" and ran towards the safe passage with a spider web that had just stuck on his head.
There were no snares in the safe passage, but there were many spiders and spider webs. When Yu Tu ran down, he felt that he was not running for his life, but turning himself into a prey.
Yu Tu had already taken off his coat and was waving it in front of him to clear the way. The gray-green spider web felt a burning pain when it stuck to his skin.
After rushing to the next floor, Yu Tu saw the same Spider-Man again. The Spider-Man seemed to have seen him as well and walked towards him quickly, looking more agile than the one upstairs.
Yu Tu: “…”
What? Is he going to have a marathon with this Spider-Man on this floor?
He was running for his life along the circular corridor. When he passed a corner, a man suddenly rushed out from the side, grabbed Yu Tu's arm, and then pulled him hard and slammed the door shut with ease.
"Tu Tu, calm down!" After catching Yu Tu's unconscious fist, Gu Hongying almost broke out in a cold sweat, "Don't hurt our allies!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Tu stopped what he was doing. He looked around in the dim light. In the corner, Eric had his arm hanging down and looked injured. Next to him, Hao Zhizhi, who had transformed into a mirage beast, was covered with spider webs. Near the door, Yin Li, who had not been seen for a long time, stared with a frown on her face, and a silver formation was faintly visible in her hands.
Yu Tu: “……?”
Hey guys, today we are going to see who is better at non-live competition?
