Chapter 33: Striking at the Root

ting trouble to hinder our investigation.""Bai Ningyu said helplessly.""Li Qiang, you should go to Dr. Lemon's forensic lab more often and see if the bodies might provide some new clues for me."Zhao F...Son Wang had already pushed his abilities to the limit. Under the blazing path of the Yan Eagle fire ability, he single-handedly killed his way to the location of the small spider. Just as he was about to swing his sword down, his movements suddenly stopped.

Although Wu Lianyi was continuously attacking, wielding her Lei Yao to slay the spiders, she also kept a watchful eye on Sun Wang's movements. When she saw him pause, she knew instantly that it was the small spider that had launched a phantom realm attack.

She raised her hand and fired a ball-sized lightning sphere, this time aiming at Sun Wang.

The moment the thunderball struck Sun Wang, he shuddered. The next second, his hand shot out with a sword, severing three legs of the fleeing spider along with half its abdomen. Immediately, a white crystal the size of a walnut popped out and was snatched by Sun Wang, who quickly sped back to Wu Lianyi's side.

"Ripple Sister, please keep this for me first."

"Okay!"

Wu Lianyi didn't refuse and directly put the crystal nucleus into the space. This was also the reason why Sun Wang let her keep it. The crystal nucleus could attract zombies, mutated animals, and mutated plants, while the space could block the attraction emitted by the crystal nucleus, making it safer.

At the moment when this strange spider was eliminated, the passage in everyone's eyes changed again. Although white spiders were still constantly emerging, their numbers were not as numerous and terrifying as before, at least within the range they could withstand.

This spider must have turned into a demon! It even knows how to put on a show.

The earth eagle sighed.

Whether it's a bluff or not, we should hurry and meet up with Captain and the others!

The mastiff frowned and said.

Although the illusory fake spiders had disappeared, the white spiders swarming in were increasing in number and size. He smelled a hint of danger, a feeling he'd gotten many times when walking on the edge of death - an instinct.

Even Sun Yi, who was inside room 1006, sensed something was wrong. She paused for a second, her face turned pale before she anxiously said:

"Captain, hurry! We startled the leader of these mutated white spiders, they've come down from the rooftop!"

What level are you

"At least level three, bigger than a sedan!"

Sun Yi immediately replied.

The spatial ability user had already put all the room's equipment into their space, and then immediately turned back and said:

"Captain! I'm done gathering. We can withdraw now!"

"Let's go!"

Eaglewing didn't hesitate, he led the people out of the room, threw a burning grenade inside, and quickly shut the door.

After regrouping, the two teams started to retreat downstairs. Everyone felt the tension that Falcon sensed, faces grim as they rushed towards the first floor without stopping.

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

What do you want to do

Eagle Wing knows Purple Hawk very well. Since the other party said that, they must have a plan.

“Let the Falcons work with me. We’ll plant timed bombs from the tenth floor up, and you guys will place them from the tenth floor down. Once we get out, detonate them. Kill as many as possible, that level three one needs us to team up against it. Ideally, the explosion would hurt it.”

Wu Lianyi spoke directly.

Just now, when I was fighting a mutated spider in the hallway, I saw human bones inside the broken spider cocoons. It seems these mutated spiders have already started to regard humans as food, and they don't need to be polite about it. The most important thing is that third-level mutation crystal core, which is very attractive to me.

"Great!"

Ying Yi immediately agreed to Wu Lianyi's plan.

"Flying Eagle!"

Eaglewing called Sun Wang over and gave him a couple of instructions. Sun Wang, eyes wide with excitement, took Wu Lianyi and temporarily left the squad, quickly moving towards the upper floors.

Knowing the layout of the entire building, they naturally knew the locations of the load-bearing walls and columns. The two worked in perfect sync: Wu Lianyi pointed out the locations, while Sun Wang led her there. Wu Lianyi retrieved a bomb from her spatial dimension, installed it, and activated it before continuing their fight to the previous floor.

The two met an enormous spider on the 18th floor. Looking at its legs, which were taller than themselves, Sun Wang was startled too, truly taken aback by it.

The spider also discovered ants bouncing around on its territory. The spider sac contracted, and a ball of silk shot out.

"What are you standing there for Run!"

Wu Lianyi slashed with her sword, cleaving through the web of silk. In the next instant, both she and her opponent vanished from sight.

"Wow, I can't believe there are spiders this big! What does it eat to grow like that"

Sun Wang grabbed Wu Lianyi's wrist and began to quickly move downstairs. Stimulated by the super-large spider, he ran while swearing profusely.

Wu Lianyi was too lazy to stop him. She directly took out the walkie-talkie and said:

"Captain, Hawk and I encountered the giant spider on the 18th floor. We're retreating quickly now. Hurry up, guys! That spider bit us pretty badly."

"Got it!"

The Eaglewing returned and said to the Eaglehound, who was planting a bomb, :

"I'm getting uneasy, let's pull back. That giant spider has been lured down by Purple Hawk and the others."

Hearing this, the crowd immediately quickened their pace. They certainly didn't want to hold anyone back. Yan Ying charged at the forefront, unleashing his fire-based abilities without any reservation, clearing a path for everyone so they could retreat faster.

After Eagle Wing took everyone onto the vehicle, they immediately drove out of the radiation range of the skyscraper explosion before stopping. Sun Yi gritted her teeth and stared intently at the entrance of the research building.

"Boom!"

Through the walkie-talkie came Wu Lianyi’s steady voice.

Immediately, everyone saw the two teammates bursting out of the entrance. Here, Eagle Wing immediately pressed the detonator, and a deafening explosion sounded at the same time. Floors four to eighteen were almost destroyed simultaneously, a spectacular scene. The blast wave pushed the two people outwards.

Sun Wang, with Wu Lianyi, teleported to the side of the vehicle using the blast wave. Even so, both of them were covered in soot and dust, especially with cobwebs stuck on their pant legs.

"Get in the car!"

The entire building was collapsing, they didn't want to be crushed underneath it, three cars slammed the gas pedals to the floor and sped away.

The explosion here was so loud that it startled both the zombies and the zombie hunting squad who entered the city looking for supplies.

"Damn it! Who the hell made such a big commotion, don't they know it would attract zombies!"

A gruff-looking man cursed loudly, then immediately ordered his companions to stop searching and leave at once.

"Boss, look! What's that"

A female player gasped, pointing to the distance and saying to the man with a bushy beard.

Everyone turned their heads, and within their field of vision, they saw a gigantic spider crawling on the outside of a building, firing webs in one direction.

"C! That's a spider!"

"Such a big spider!"

"What are you looking at, run! It's coming towards us!"

Gasps echoed through the air, but it didn't stop people from fleeing. Moments later, the convoy roared onto the main road, smashing past zombies with a head-on impact from the bulldozers. The entire K city was thrown into chaos.

Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang stared at the super large spider lying behind their car, their eyes green with greed. It was a Tier 3 crystal core, and because of the explosion, this spider was now crippled, with only four legs left. They were confident they could defeat it in battle.wise, she wouldn't have known about the academy's plans. This way, she could save herself a lot of Federation credits.Since she already has her own flying car, she needs to learn how to drive it. Alt...
