QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch32

 

CHAPTER 32 - Breaking the Illusion

Wu Lianyi kept walking, muttering to herself. This explained why the teams who went before them, never came back. They all walked into the trap on their own.

"Mutant spiders!"

Sun Wang exclaimed, then reacted and asked anxiously: 

"Sister Lianyi, was that thing the one attacking my sister?"

"It should be, they both have psychic abilities. Your elder sister is more inclined on crisis perception and prediction, while the spider is more about weaving illusions to lure us to walk into their open mouths by ourselves.

Because your sister had sensed them before, Sun Yi became their main target after entering here. When the other party attacked your sister just now, it is estimated that their abilities were also exhausted. Coupled with our indiscriminate attacks, they could no longer continue to maintain the illusion. "

Wu Lianyi spoke while swinging her sword to kill the white spider that was hanging down the spider silk, while protecting Sun Yi, who was still in a daze. The other team members also heard what she said and understood their current situation.

"Sister Lianyi, if we kill that spider, its crystal core should be able to enhance my sister's abilities, right?"

Sun Wang relied on his fast speed and kept moving to make up for his teammates' weaknesses. At this time, he happened to return to his two elder sisters and asked directly.

"Theoretically, it's possible, but you have to kill it first."

Wu Lianyi replied.

The teammates on the side heard the conversation between the two, and their eyes twitched. They could only say that they were really bold to think and do it.

Fire Eagle cleared the way in front. When he reached the 10th floor, his energy was almost exhausted. Looking at the security door sealed by thick white spider silk, he prepared for a moment, and threw out the last fireball, which directly burned a round hole in the door, just big enough for one person to pass through.

"Get down!"

Ying Ao roared loudly, Fire Eagle immediately retreated, and everyone lowered their bodies.

"Whoosh!" Two flash bombs were thrown in through the burning hole in the door. The corridor on the 10th floor immediately flashed with strong light twice, illuminating the entire floor. Then everyone heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, crackling like dumplings.

Taking advantage of this gap, Sun Wang quickly ducked through the door and went to take the lead to investigate the situation inside and determine which room the equipment was stored in.

At this time, Sun Yi's expression had eased a lot. The dull pain that seemed to drill into her brain had slowly disappeared, but her eyes were a little bloodshot. She looked around and made sure that everyone was safe for the time being before she spoke:

"Captain, the mutated white spiders here deliberately let me know of their presence and lured us in. I'm afraid this is a trap. We'd better wrap it up quickly."

She also did not expect the mutated white spiders to be so big. This was different from what she perceived. It was obviously deliberately done by the mutant white spider. The purpose was to make them underestimate the enemy and then step into the spider web they had woven. Sun Yi was very annoyed at being tricked.

"We have never underestimated the enemy. Their behavior has no impact on our plans. You should take this time to recover. Flying Eagle is still thinking of killing the mutant spider so that he can take its crystal core and let you upgrade your abilities."

Ying Yi said in a low voice to alleviate Sun Yi's self-blame. Everyone must remain calm at this time and not lose their composure.

"Yes, Captain!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Wang flashed back and said with a serious expression:

"I found the room where the equipment are stored, and the instrument we want was also in there, but it's a little difficult to get it. It's full of hatching spider eggs, covering the entire room and the equipment."

"It seems that we are facing a lot of obstacles."

Ying Ao whispered.

"What's the situation in the corridor?"

"It's full of white spiders as big as washbasins, and the spider webs cover the entire corridor. I also saw several spider cocoons, and judging from their appearance, there must be people wrapped inside."

When he said this, Sun Wang's tone was a little strained. It wasn't that he was unwilling to save them, but it had been so long, and the chances of the other person being alive were too small.

"Captain, the spiders in the stairwell are surrounding us again!"

The team member at the rear immediately reported, leaving them no time to think about it slowly.

"According to the original plan, one team will be responsible for clearing the way and attacking the mutated white spiders, while the space ability users will follow the other team to get the equipment."

Ying Yi waved his hand without hesitation, and the team members immediately divided into two groups. Ying Ao led the assault team and rushed out first, including Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang, while Sun Yi followed Captain Ying Yi to get the equipment.

The team had a clear division of labor and tacit understanding and cooperation. When they launched their attack, they immediately attracted the hidden white spiders.

These mutated spiders emerged from the webs, the ground, and the room one after another, and began to spin silk rapidly, trying to catch this group of arrogant food.

"Attack their spider sacs!"

Wu Lianyi reminded them.

Then all kinds of colorful attacks were directed at the spider sac in the spider's abdomen.

Because each team member was equipped with a hot weapon, and had been trained, they could hit the targets without missing a single shot. After a lot of white spiders died, a huge spider web suddenly fell, obviously intending to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Fire Eagle had long been on guard against this move. He had not taken action recently, and was surrounded and protected by everyone. He only fired a shot occasionally while he recover the energy he had consumed before. Now, looking at the huge white spider web falling from above his head, he also released a fire web, which overlapped with the spider web.

With a "whoosh", it felt like a raging fire. The spider web immediately caught fire and spread to the spider webs at the top, causing the group of white spiders to immediately fell into disarray.

A white jade spider that was only the size of a football seemed to have been frightened by the flames and remained motionless in the corner with no intention of running away.

"Sun Wang!"

Wu Lianyi called directly.

Sun Wang teleported to her side.

"Sister Lianyi, what's the matter?"

"Do you see that little spider? That's your target! Remember to be fast and take it by surprise, otherwise it will attack your brain just like it did to your sister."

Wu Lianyi said in a low voice.

The sound of gunfire drowned out her voice in the next moment, but this did not prevent Sun Wang from hearing it clearly. He nodded solemnly, quickly moved to Fire Eagle's side, and then the two began to cooperate in the battle.

On the other side, Ying Yi and his group had rushed into Room 1006. The room has now become a world of spider webs. There were unhatched spider eggs on the spider webs, and there were also fallen spider webs and spider skins on the ground. The equipment was covered with spider webs, and it was impossible to see what was underneath.

"Clean up quickly and take the equipment away. The longer they stay outside, the more dangerous it becomes."

Following Ying Yi's order, the ability-users stepped forward and launched a group attack, breaking through the spider webs covering the equipment, clearing the ground, and killing the frightened little spiders that ran out.

Because the place where the spiders were hatched was attacked, the white spiders outside became agitated. The entire 10th floor became lively, and the mutated spiders began to attack their group recklessly.

On the top floor, a giant spider the size of an armored vehicle suddenly opened its eyes.

T/N: From here on out, we'll call the mutated animals and zombies with special abilities as mutants, just so I don't keep repeating the term 'special abilities' too many times in a single paragraph. 🙂 They will be called 'mutated' if they just changed physically but 'mutants' if they have special powers/abilities. We'll keep the term 'ability users' exclusive to humans with special abilities.
