"No, on the contrary..." Broodmother not only did not become angry because of Ling Mo's interruption, but instead showed a strange look, "I ate it..."
"Gret..." As soon as these words came out, there was a retching sound in the darkness...
"You are really... hungry..." Ling Mo's mouth twitched, and he managed to come up with such a response.
"How can I say it... At that time, although I was trapped at home, I was not at the point where I would starve to death, let alone feed my own spiders. I would do that because of my mental state. It's completely collapsed. My neighbor... the one who killed the zombies in front of me, he may be the only living person in the whole building besides me. Now that he's gone, I'm the only one left in this place But unlike him, even if it was silent outside, I couldn’t have the courage to escape from that house. I didn’t even dare to open the door, let alone look for life outside alone. But I also knew very well in my heart at the same time. , stay here, sooner or later I will slowly die of hunger and thirst..."
"I was utterly hopeless at the thought of that life-worse-death feeling coming to me... Maybe that's why, when I saw the second living thing in the whole room, the pressure in my heart suddenly jumped. It broke out. The fear of those zombies was too strong. I was like a bug in front of them. So when I pressed the spider and stuffed it into my mouth, I finally got it back. A little real sense of being a human... I'm not a bug, there are people who are weaker than me... This kind of feeling is like forcing myself to find a little hope in despair. Convince myself to keep going. After all, although I am afraid. But I don't want to die..."
heard here. Ling Mo basically understood: "So, your mutation started after eating the spider? You just said that your spider looks abnormal because it touched the blood of that zombie, right?"
"That's right... It should be the smell of blood that attracted it, but the crack in the door was very small, so it didn't get out, it just ingested some of the blood of the zombies immersed in the door. In fact, even if it didn't eat directly, it was just the blood. Putting it in a soak is enough to cause it to be infected, right? But in my situation at the time. I don't think about it, and even what is different about it, I haven't carefully observed it... "
After eating the spider, the Broodmother continued to retreat into the corner. In this empty environment, with only corpses in the building, and zombies outside the building, the Broodmother spider didn't move, just stared out the window... But when the day began to turn dark, a change suddenly appeared.
"It started with pain, then it turned into a tingling sensation. In my stomach and intestines, it was like a lot of spiders were crawling back and forth. Especially the stomach. I felt the spider came back to life, It's feeding my body. It's eating me bit by bit from the inside. And that tingling, it feels like it's caused by the digestive juices that spiders have injected into me..."
"I was sober all of a sudden... If I had to die anyway, I'd rather be grabbed to death by a zombie than be slowly cut into an empty shell by a spider like this. And this feeling is very real, not like that at all. What kind of illusion. Every second, the sense of nothingness in my body will increase by one point. After ten seconds, my entire abdominal cavity seems to be completely empty. Then, I began to produce a new kind of feel…”
hungry!
Broodmothers are very hungry!
He began to more keenly capture the smell of blood wafting in the air, and a strong desire continued to emerge in his heart. At first he was able to bear it, but when hunger even began to replace fear, he finally began to shake.
"Originally, I was so afraid of the corpse that I didn't even dare to think about her. But at that time, I couldn't help but look at her, and the smell of her blood filled my nose. When it was getting dark, I finally rushed to the door and opened the door..."
"You know what? The blood has already solidified, and a lot of it sticks to the ground and can't be recovered. After I sucked everything I could, I started licking the ground... In the end, except for the corpse, there was not even a drop on the ground. The blood was gone. And at this time, I finally woke up. But later, not only did this kind of thing not disappear, but it became more and more serious. I thought about dying, but I couldn't... My body began to It slowly changed, at first it was just a bloated belly, but then I really felt it, I really had a spider inside of me…”
"For this spider to grow, it needs me to drink blood... And at this time, I also discovered a little benefit. Originally, I was a person with poor physical strength, but after drinking the blood of that zombie, my strength was reduced. It started to skyrocket. When I couldn't take it any longer, I went out with a kitchen knife..."
"And then you can see the result." Broodmother looked at Ling Mo and said, "This spider grew bigger and bigger in my body, and in the end it merged with my body. Now the spider It's it, it's me, and we're inseparable."
"No wonder you didn't get infected by the virus after drinking zombie blood... It turned out that the main virus was taken away by that spider, but as a sequela, you were influenced by this spider and grew into a human-headed spider..." Ling Moruo Nodding thoughtfully.
Broodmother's eyes showed a complex color, and he smiled: "Yes, that's what it means. How about it, don't you think it's not easy for me to survive?"
"Tsk... After a long time, are you going to play the sympathy card? If it's true, then I'd better advise you to give up early. I don't have that kind of boring sympathy." Ling Mo interrupted it blankly. Life is not easy? It's as easy as saying it to others! Think about it, if the current situation suddenly reversed, then this broodmother would definitely treat them all as food without hesitation.
"So, you must fight? Is there no room to talk about it?" Broodmother's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice. Its human head grows on the spider's belly, and every change in expression is very scary. But when it spoke at this time, there was a hint of softness in its tone.
This made Ling Mo a little surprised...
