QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch33

 

CHAPTER 33 - Remove the Firewood from Under the Pot¹

Sun Wang had already exerted his ability to the extreme. With the help of Fire Eagle's fire ability, he reached the position of the little spider alone. The moment he swung his long knife, his movements paused.

Although Wu Lianyi did not stop moving, swinging Lei Yao in her hand to kill the spiders, she was also paying attention to Sun Wang's actions. The moment she saw him pause, she knew that the little spider had launched an illusion attack.

She raised her hand and flicked a lightning ball the size of a marble, and the target was Sun Wang.

The moment the lightning ball hit Sun Wang, his body trembled lightly, and after a second, he raised his knife and cut off the three legs and half of the spider sac of the little spider that was trying to escape. A white crystal the size of a walnut fell out and was caught by Sun Wang, who rushed back to Wu Lianyi.

"Sister Lianyi, please keep it safe for me first."

"All right!"

Wu Lianyi did not refuse and directly put the crystal core into the space. This was also the reason why Sun Wang asked her to keep it. The crystal core can attract zombies, mutated animals and mutated plants, but the space can block the attraction emitted by the crystal core, making it safer for everyone.

The moment the mutant spider was eliminated, the corridor in everyone's eyes changed again. Although white spiders still kept popping up, their number was not as numerous and terrifying as before, at least it's within the range they could resist.

"This spider must have become a spirit! It even knows how to bluff."

Earth Eagle sighed.

"Whether it's a bluff or not, let's hurry and meet up with the captain and the others!"

Ying Ao said with a frown.

Although the illusionary spiders disappeared, the number of white spiders swarming them was also increasing, and they were bigger than before. He sensed a hint of danger, which was due to the fact that he had wandered on the edge of life and death many times. It was a kind of instinct.

Sun Yi in room 1006 also sensed it. After pausing for a second, her face turned pale and she said anxiously:

"Captain, we have to hurry! We have alerted the boss of these mutated white spiders, and they have come down from the top floor!"

"What level?"

"At least Level 3, bigger than a car!"

Sun Yi replied immediately.

The space ability user had already stored all the equipment in the room into the space, and he immediately turned around and said:

"Captain! We've finished collecting it, we can leave!"

"Let's go!"

Without hesitation, Ying Yi led the people out of the room, threw an incendiary bomb into the room, and quickly closed the door.

After the two teams converged, they began to retreat downstairs. Everyone knew what Eye eagle sensed. At this time, their faces were tensed,as they continue to rush towards the first floor.

"Captain, we can't run like this, we'll attract that guy to the survivor base."

"What do you want to do?"

Ying Yi knew Purple Eagle very well, and since the other party said that, she must have a plan.

"Let Flying Eagle cooperate with me and place time bombs from the 10th floor up. You place bombs from the 10th floor down. When we get out, we'll detonate them and kill as many as we can. We need to work together to deal with the Level 3 one, it’s best if the explosion can injure it.”

Wu Lianyi said directly.

When they fought with the mutated spiders in the corridor just now, the spider cocoons that were broken were full of human bones. It seems that these mutant spiders have already regarded humans as food, so there is no need for them to be polite. The most important thing is that the Level 3 mutant crystal core is very attractive to her.

"All right!"

Ying Yi immediately agreed to Wu Lianyi's plan.

"Flying Eagle!"

Ying Yi called Sun Wang over and gave him a few instructions. With shining eyes, Sun Wang temporarily left the team with Wu Lianyi and began to quickly move upstairs.

Because they had seen the architectural drawings of the entire building, they naturally knew the location of the load-bearing walls and columns. The two cooperated well with Wu Lianyi pointing out the place and Sun Wang taking her there. Wu Lianyi took out the bombs from the space, installed it and activated it, then continued to move to the next floor.

The two eventually bumped into the giant spider on the 18th floor. Looking at the spider's legs that were taller than him, Sun Wang was startled and was really frightened.

The spider also spotted the ants scurrying around in its territory, its abdomen contracted and a ball of spider silk shot out.

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

Wu Lianyi swung her sword with her left hand and slashed at the spider silk, then the two of them disappeared in the next moment.

"Sh*t! Sh*t! Why is there such a big mutated spider, what did he eat to grow like that?"

Sun Wang grabbed Wu Lianyi's wrist and began to rush downstairs. Because he was stimulated by the giant spider, he was swearing while running.

Wu Lianyi did not even bother to stop him, she just took out the two-way radio and said:

"Captain, Flying Eagle and I encountered that giant spider on the 18th floor. We need to evacuate quickly now. You guys should hurry up, the spider is pursuing us very closely."

"Roger!"

After Ying Yi replied, he said to Ying Ao who was planting the bomb: 

"Don't worry, evacuate first. The giant spider has been lured down by Purple Eagle and Flying Eagle."

After hearing this, everyone sped up immediately. They didn't want to fall behind. Fire Eagle rushed to the front and released his fire ability without any reservation, clearing the way for everyone so that everyone could speed up their retreat.

After Ying Yi led everyone into the vehicles, they immediately drove out of the blast radius of the building explosion and then stopped. Sun Yi gritted her teeth and stared at the entrance of the scientific research building.

"Detonate!"

Wu Lianyi's calm voice came from the intercom.

Then everyone saw the two rushing out of the entrance. Ying Yi immediately pressed the detonator, and the loud "boom" of explosions sounded at the same time. The 4th to the 18th floors were blown up almost at the same time. The scene was very spectacular, and the blast wave propelled the two people out.

Sun Wang took Wu Lianyi and teleported to the vehicle with the help of the shock wave from the explosion. Even so, they were both covered in dust, with spider silk stuck on their trouser legs.

"Get in the car!"

The whole building was collapsing, and they didn't want to be crushed underneath. The three vehicles stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and quickly evacuated.

The explosion here was so loud that it not only alerted the zombies, but also alarmed the zombie-hunting team that entered the city in search of supplies.

"F*! What idiot made such a big noise, doesn't he know it would attract zombies!"

A bearded man cursed, then he immediately called on his companions to stop searching and evacuate immediately.

"Boss, look! What is that?"

A female member of the team exclaimed, pointed into the distance, and said to the bearded man.

Everyone looked back and saw a huge spider crawling outside a building, shooting spider silk in one direction.

"Sh*t! That's a spider!"

"Such a big spider!"

"What are you looking at? Run! It's coming towards us!"

The exclamations rang out one after another, but it didn't stop everyone from running. A moment later, the convoy rushed towards the main road at lightning speed. The zombies blocking the road were knocked away by the bulldozer leading the way, and for a time, the whole K City was in chaos.

Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang looked at the gigantic spider that fell behind the car, and their eyes turned green. That was a Level 3 crystal core, and because of the explosion, the spider was currently crippled, with only four legs left. They were confident that they could defeat it.
