As a higher-level creature than the rock spider, the spider lurker has better hiding skills. Their shells, like some optical materials, act as invisibility by diffusing ambient light. Especially in an environment like an underground garage, the lurker's skills are brought into full play.
This monster was what Ben hunted, but now, the positions of prey and hunter seemed to be reversed.
The moment Su was pushed away by Zero, he clearly felt a strong wind blowing against his back. She quickly rolled on the ground, leaned against an abandoned car and turned around again, and saw a deep gully in the ground where she was just now.
Zero's M500 and Ben's Colt fired simultaneously, but the bullets seemed to hit empty spaces. It did nothing but shatter the windshield of the car behind it.
Su inhaled slightly, then exhaled slowly. Her body began to become scorching hot, which was to mobilize her physical energy to the greatest extent through a special breathing method. After taking two consecutive breaths, Su suddenly exerted force, and the one-handed sword suddenly slashed towards Zero.
The one-handed sword struck head-on, Ling clearly felt Su's killing intent. But more, this killing intent was aimed at the void behind him. Zero immediately turned sideways in Su's direction, and while avoiding the long sword slashing the track, he also fired a shot forward.
The sound of the sword and the sound of the gun sounded almost simultaneously.
Su's sword slashed in the air, but countless sparks flew out of the air. And Zero's bullet shot out a line of blood in the void. Seeing this scene, Ben didn't hesitate any longer, and fired several shots at the empty space.
Colt's brutal gunshots resounded throughout the underground garage accompanied by the smell of gunpowder. In the light of the fire, a spider as big as a car appeared. Its whole body is pitch black, and its thick and powerful limbs are covered with black burrs. Circles of brown lines covered the spider's abdomen, and the end of the abdomen had spikes like bees.
This is the Spider Lurker, Su's long sword left a white mark under its hard shell, while Zero and Ben's bullets directly opened several blood holes in the monster's body. The injured lurker made a high-frequency cry that cannot be caught by human ears. It retracted its left foot and then popped out in an instant, hitting Su's sword heavily.
The huge kinetic energy immediately sent Su flying out.
"Belly!" Ben yelled, and Colt shot in bursts, attracting the attention of the lurkers.
Without hesitation, Zero rushed towards the giant spider. When the lurker was attracted by Ben's firepower, he threw himself on the ground, and the remaining kinetic energy brought him to slide under the giant spider's body.
The lurker's abdomen was right in front of his eyes, and he raised his gun and fired continuously. Under the action of more than 3,000 joules of kinetic energy, the bullets blasted into the giant spider's body, advancing all the way, smashing the tissues in the lurker's body, and then broke out of the shell.
Flesh flying everywhere!
The giant spider was in pain, and its body kept moving. It wanted to nail Zero to death with its powerful legs, but Zero hid under its belly, but it couldn't be safer.
When the lurker's legs fluttered for a while, Su rushed forward with a long sword in his hand for the second time. She raised the blade flatly, put the other hand on the hilt of the sword, and made a straight thrust with both arms, which pierced straight into the big head of the giant spider. Su yelled, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and twisting vigorously, and then swept across with strength.
The long sword burst out, split most of the lurker's head instantly, and the stench sprayed Su's face, and the giant spider finally lay down powerlessly, without any further movement.
Under the belly of the spider body, Zero drilled out, and his face was also sprayed with spider liquid. Looking at Zero and Su, the old drunkard shook his head and muttered, "Young people these days are so crazy."
But no matter what, they finally brought down the lurker. It was planned to take out the shells of the giant spiders, but the lurkers had already found them, so there was no guarantee that more rock spiders would not flock to them. Ben had no choice but to dispel this attention. If he encountered a large number of rock spiders in a semi-sealed environment like the underground garage, it would definitely be a dead end.
Ben walked ahead with Colt in his hand, supporting Su whose wound was bleeding again due to strenuous exercise, and the three left the underground garage.
"Maybe we should retreat," Zero said.
M500 bullets need to be customized. After the battle just now, there are not many bullets left by Zero. Other than that, there was only one fragment* and an alloy dagger left on his body. This kind of firepower can probably only kill one or two more lurkers. And lacking the heavy fire suppression like the six-barreled aviation machine gun, Ling didn't dare to think about the fate of encountering a large number of spiders.
As for Su and Ben, the former's injury has not healed, and his strength has been greatly reduced. In addition to the high-level agility enhancement of the latter, the force only has a Colt. Colt's power is still higher than Zero's M500. This long-barreled sniper rifle is already as powerful as a hand cannon at close range. But Colt couldn't exceed the functional limitations of the sniper rifle, and the single-shot shooting method, no matter how powerful it was, couldn't meet the needs of firepower suppression.
It can be said that the zero three are more than enough for point-to-point strikes, but they lack the firepower or ability to kill in a range, which determines that if the three encounter a large number of rock spiders, their situation will be even worse than the previous ones.
Ben didn't object to Zero's proposal either. So the three of them changed their route, and the old drunkard led the way and dived towards the edge of the university city. The three of them walked on the broken and rough road, and the route taken by Ben was obviously carefully chosen. The places they passed were relatively spacious places, and they extended in all directions, which greatly reduced the unfavorable situation of being besieged by rock spiders.
After leaving the underground garage, they did not encounter a single rock spider. It seems that the strong light during the day makes these dark creatures reluctant to appear, but the closer to the edge of the ruins, the more and more obvious the needles on Zero's skin.
It made him feel like he was jumping into a trap.
Ben also sensed the invisible danger signal, but he didn't know where the danger came from. The rock spider, which had never appeared, put tremendous pressure on the three of them. Even an experienced hunter like Ben kept a straight face, and Ling Hesu was even more silent.
Now retreating to the ruins of the university city, there is a danger of falling into a tight siege. So now they can only hope to get out of the ruins before this dangerous signal becomes a fact, turn a corner, and the end of the road is the school's track and field field. But Zero knew that after climbing over the wall on the other side of the track and field, they left the scope of the university city.
The environment of the track and field field is open, and if there is any change, the eyesight of a few people will be able to spot it first, so there is no danger of being attacked. This was also the best retreat point that the firm could think of, so the three of them walked directly through the gate and strode into the track and field.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the big fireball in the sky was still hot. The gravel of the track and field exudes astonishingly high temperature. When people walk on it, the heat is transmitted to the soles of the feet through the 5 cm thick rubber soles, and then spreads to the whole body.
Zero quickly looked around the track and field, and there was no audience in the tall stands, and he didn't know how many years it would take for new spectators to appear in the stands. Zero sighed silently, suddenly, something seemed to be shaking in his sight. Zero's golden right eye immediately had silver streaks converging into a circle, and the field of vision was immediately drawn closer.
Under this ability called Free Sight by Zero, he clearly saw a rock spider suddenly crawling up from under the unoccupied seat at the southwest corner of the stand. Then the second, the third...
More and more rock spiders appeared from the stands, and their dense figures filled the stands. And the lurkers who no longer concealed their figure, their huge bodies pushed away their relatives, and jumped down from the stands one by one. They dance their strong legs and make threatening movements, but they don't pounce on them, which makes people puzzled.
Soon Zero knew the reason, it was because the protagonists were not them.
The needle-pricking sensation on the skin was so strong that it was hard to describe, but suddenly, this feeling disappeared completely. However, in the next second, Zero felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and his heart beat vigorously as if hit by a heavy hammer.
An undeniably strong sense of danger enveloped his body, and at the same time, Zero looked to the other side of the track and field.
There was a lounge there, and the moment Zero looked over, the door of the lounge and the walls shattered. Sawdust and gravel flew several meters away, stirring up a cloud of gray dust. In this cloud of dust and smoke, the shadow of Xiao Shangao slowly appeared. When it got out of the dust and smoke, its ferocious figure filled Zero's eyes.
Standing in front of Zero, Ben's whole body shook slightly, and then the old drunkard cursed: "Damn, I got the first prize this time. There is actually a spider queen here!"
