067:
The human-faced ghost spider retreated so quickly, its speed was almost unbelievable.
As a result, the few people who realized that the crisis had been resolved and felt that everything that happened was too dreamy did not react for a while. They raised their weapons and looked at each other in confusion.
"Who was talking just now?"
Guan Yue shook her head subconsciously: "It's not me anyway."
The teammates all rolled their eyes. Even a fool would know that it’s not you.
The voice just now clearly belonged to a woman, but Guan Yue was the only woman in their team...
...Who could that be?
Except for Lin Xiangzhi, no one else thought about the unconscious injured person who was rescued from the car.
"Captain, have we met some kind-hearted master?" Teammate Xiaoliu looked around, trying to search for any trace of the "master".
Lin Xiangzhi got into the car directly.
Others: “???”
They looked at each other and subconsciously got into the car. When they saw the captain slowly walking towards the rear of the car, they were stunned.
...Well, the person they rescued seemed to be a woman.
Everyone's expression suddenly changed, as if they were shocked.
The girl lying on the makeshift bed made of ammunition boxes had snow-white and transparent skin, and her long eyelashes drooped like butterfly wings. If it weren't for the pale color of her lips that revealed her poor physical condition, she would look like an elf sleeping in a dream.
It was obvious that she was still in a coma.
Lin Xiangzhi originally guessed that the previous situation was caused by Sang Luo, but when he found that she was not awake, he couldn't help but wonder if he was wrong.
He wasn't sure whether to shout.
At this moment, Guan Yue realized that her teammates seemed to think that the girl at the back of the car was the one who saved them. Without thinking, she blurted out: "What are you thinking? How could it be her! She's still unconscious."
She found the expressions of shock and disbelief on her teammates' faces quite jarring.
The girl on the bed lay quietly.
Only Lin Xiangzhi, who was closest to her, noticed that there was something different from before. The girl's eyes and eyebrows were no longer as peaceful as before, but now she had a bit of hostility that was hard to conceal.
He concluded that it was she who had just spoken and forced the human-faced ghost spider to retreat.
It was very strange that just two sentences, totaling only four words, made a group of densely packed human-faced ghost spiders that were about to devour them retreat, and judging from their retreat behavior, they were in panic. This situation was terrifying enough.
But Lin Xiangzhi accepted it very calmly, as if it was natural, "It's her, no wonder."
This was probably due to the weaknesses of the first batch of monsters she had given me, and the kind of...
How to say it, it is easy to kill a crazy-eyed octopus, and even take its tentacles to the rooftop to barbecue.
It seems that no matter how shocking the things such people do are, it seems normal.
Lin Xiang ordered to continue on his journey.
Xiaoliu is a wood element. After healing the injuries of his injured teammates, he found a place to sleep.
Guan Yue was still assigned the task by the captain to look after the person in the bed.
She has nothing to take care of.
Guan Yue sat aside, staring at the girl, thinking uncomfortably.
I heard teammate Li Baichuan ask Lin Xiangzhi: "Captain, do you think the Human-Faced Demonic Spider was forced back by her?"
This "she" obviously refers to the girl in front of him.
Guan Yue twisted her fingers, thinking that her teammates had been stunned by the human-faced ghost spider. She had clearly said it was impossible, but they still thought it was possible.
The captain would definitely not have the same blind thoughts as them.
Lin Xiangzhi thought about it, but didn't say anything too absolute. He just said, "It should be."
Guan Yue widened her eyes and turned her gaze to look at Lin Xiangzhi in disbelief.
Why does even the captain think so?!
Another teammate, Zhao Lei, was visibly excited. "If that's the case, then we've found a treasure. She must have a special talent against monsters, as she was able to force so many human-faced ghost spiders to retreat."
Tian Zhengyang, who was driving, interjected at the right moment: "I think Guan Yue's words make sense. Isn't she still in a coma? It's unlikely to be her."
Zhao Lei: "Then who do you think it could be? Everyone heard it, it was a woman's voice, besides Guan Yue, it must be her."
"It's actually very easy to verify if it's her," Li Baichuan said. "We'll know when she wakes up and ask her."
"Captain, if it really is her, we must recruit her into our team." Zhao Lei was delighted. The strength and fatigue he had exhausted from the battle seemed to have completely disappeared. "With her around, we will definitely be much safer when we go out."
The tone seemed to confirm that she had the innate ability to deal with monsters.
Lin Xiangzhi understood his teammates' thoughts. He waited until everyone had finished speaking before speaking: "Alright, just think about these ideas in your minds. When the people wake up, be polite. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and don't even mention anything about recruiting."
This statement was beyond everyone's expectations.
The teammates looked at their captain with strange and puzzled eyes, not understanding why he said that.
Every team hopes that they can recruit some powerful psychics. If they meet a suitable one, they will of course recruit him.
But the captain told them not to even verify it.
Lin Xiangzhi did not explain too much. His current teammates also listened to him very much. As long as he gave an order, they would obey it.
Guan Yue's fingers turned white from twisting them, and she heard a very special meaning in Lin Xiangzhi's words.
——As if the girl lying quietly in front of him was an inviolable existence.
Is it because she has a pretty face?
Guan Yue didn't believe that the retreat of the human-faced ghost spider was caused by the person on the bed. If it was really that powerful, how could it be injured and abandoned? But the uneasiness that rose in her heart reflected her truest thoughts.
What if it's true?
Women need to rely on a team; it is unrealistic to do it alone.
And no one will refuse those with outstanding talents and abilities who want to join Lin Xiangzhi's team.
Once you stay in the team, there will be two women in the team.
She was prettier and stronger than me, and as a result, my value in the team would be greatly reduced...
Guan Yue knows men too well.
Before joining Lin Xiangzhi's team, the team she was in used women as bed warmers.
If you want to survive in the team, you must prove your worth.
Because she was not strong enough, she had to...
Later, the team encountered a group of zombies and everyone else died. She was promoted to Class B at the critical moment and met Lin Xiangzhi at the same time.
After the rescue, she naturally joined Lin Xiangzhi's team.
In this team, Guan Yue felt "respected", treated as a human being, not as a tool.
She is the only woman in the team. Although water is not her main attack ability, with her around, she can ensure that her teammates will never be short of water.
Her teammates also took good care of her in every way because she was a woman.
When this balance is broken - a woman who is better than her in every aspect appears - can she still enjoy this preferential treatment?
Guan Yue thought of the team she used to be in.
At that time, she had a friend with whom she had a pretty good relationship. Relying on her beauty, she lived a comfortable life with the leader.
However, not long after, another woman joined in, who was stronger than her friend in every way.
So the leader threw her friend to his subordinate teammates.
When Guan Yue came back from an outing covered in wounds, he learned of her death.
The woman died quietly, without causing any stir.
…
Recalling this, Guan Yue clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails deep into her palms. The pain made her regret it.
Why did you use a telescope to look around? Why did you tell the captain what you saw? If you didn't tell the captain, the current situation wouldn't be happening.
As I was daydreaming, the sky gradually darkened.
Driving at night was very dangerous, so they found a suitable campsite before nightfall, then took out a few large incense sticks from the roof of the car and lit them around the campsite.
This incense comes from the base and is made from the heart of some monster. After it is lit, it will emit an unpleasant smell.
Most monsters hate the smell.
Of course, it is impossible to expel monsters 100%, but 30% is enough for a psychic.
The temporary camp was set up and there was no danger around. Everyone fought with the human-faced ghost spider and got a lot of mucus on their bodies. Guan Yue condensed enough water for everyone to wash.
The men got out of the car to wash, and she naturally stayed in the car.
Lin Xiang got in front of the car and noticed that Sang Luo's lips were a little chapped. He asked Guan Yue to give Sang Luo some water.
"Captain." Guan Yue spoke.
Lin Xiangzhi stepped out of the car with one foot: "What's wrong?"
Guan Yue met his gaze, quickly looked away, and shook her head in panic: "Nothing."
After Lin Xiangzhi's figure disappeared, Guan Yue turned around and looked at the girl reflected in her retina with an expressionless face.
After a while, he raised his hand, and a stream of water slowly condensed in the palm of his hand.
Just wrap her in water...
No, no, no, no.
At this moment, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from the quiet carriage, as if something was scratching something.
Guan Yue's heart trembled.
The next second, a large bucket of water placed in the right corner suddenly fell over with a thud, the lid rolled off, and a human-faced ghost spider crawled out.
"Ah——!" Guan Yue screamed.
The blood-red eyes of the human-faced ghost spider first locked onto Guan Yue. The lifelike human face revealed a malicious expression, and it spat out a poisonous web filled with a foul smell at her.
Guan Yue rolled to the side reflexively, and the poisonous wire net brushed past her shoulder and landed under the car, making an unpleasant corrosive hissing sound.
Then the human-faced ghost spider turned its body towards the person on the bed.
It pounced on it.
Eight hideous, bristly spider legs aimed at her head.
It wants to twist off the head of its prey and eat it!
The third-level monster has a high IQ. This human-faced ghost spider should have run away in fear due to its instinct, but it really wanted to eat meat, so it restrained its instinct.
Soon after, Lin Xiangzhi and others got on the bus. Being alone, it was no match for these humans, so it cleverly hid in the bucket.
Now I finally found the opportunity.
Guan Yue dodged the attack and subconsciously drew his gun while retreating.
When she saw the human-faced ghost spider turning its target towards Sang Luo, her pupils suddenly dilated, her hand holding the gun trembled, and the expression on her face kept changing.
Seeing that the human-faced ghost spider seemed to have torn the opponent's flesh and blood, Guan Yue bit her lip and made a decision. Just when she was about to pull the trigger -
A shrill scream rang out.
Guan Yue was stunned, and then she realized that the scream came from the human-faced ghost spider.
At the same time, Lin Xiangzhi, who heard Guan Yue's scream, rushed to the car immediately, including other teammates.
As they climbed into the car through the door and open window, their movements came to a collective halt.
The girl had sat up from the bed, her soft hair slightly messy and draped behind her. The light from the lit candles in the car penetrated the darkness, casting a blurry, cold halo on her body.
The expression on her fair and delicate face was unreadable, the corners of her lips seemed to be slightly curved, and her clear amber pupils were covered with a thin layer of ice, exuding a bone-chilling chill.
Subconsciously, everyone shuddered.
Lowering their gaze, they saw the human-faced ghost spider screaming at her feet, its twisted face wrinkled in pain.
Its reaction seemed to please her.
The curve of her lips deepened, and then the girl stretched out her slender white wrists and separated the legs of the human-faced ghost spider from its body one by one.
Every time a strand was torn off, the human-faced ghost spider made a "chi" sound, which was full of pain.
——It was crying and begging for mercy: Please give me a quick death.
The girl tilted her head slightly and said "oh" softly.
This word "oh" inexplicably made everyone tremble with fear.
After a while, without any other movement from her, wind blades appeared out of nowhere in the car. Like cutting a watermelon, the wind blades came one after another, and her excellent knife skills perfectly dismembered the human-faced ghost spider.
——It really gives it a good feeling, if it doesn’t last too long.
The blood-red eyes of the human-faced ghost spider were wide open, vividly demonstrating what it meant to die with eyes open.
The entire carriage was silent.
Feng Ren completed its mission, then turned its head and faced Lin Xiangzhi and others with a grim look.
“…”
Otherwise we should get off the bus.
