"Run! A large number of Variant have appeared in this city! Everyone, get out of here!"
Liu Xiaogang ran at the front of the crowd, shouting to the surrounding residents as he ran.
People who heard Liu Xiaogang's voice first came out in confusion, and then saw the Variant crawling all over the electronics building.
They all screamed and ran wildly towards the subway station.
As the group drew closer to the building, large green spider- Variant continued to appear around them.
"Squeak!"
The spider that had been crawling on the wall hissed when it saw Liu Xiaogang, baring its fangs full of green venom and lunging at him.
Running at full speed, Liu Xiaogang didn't stop and extended his spear, piercing through the Variant creature with a single blow, killing it instantly.
With a casual flick of his wrist, he sent the Variant corpse flying to the side.
At the same time, two larger Variant climbed down from the roof, dripping with green venom, and lunged at Liu Xiaogang.
Liu Xiaogang thought to himself, "This is bad!" He raised his spear and placed it in front of his chest, preparing to defend himself.
A wall of fire suddenly rose between the two, keeping the two Variant outside.
The scorching red light from the musket shone on Liu Xiaogang's somewhat dazed face, and he turned his head to look back.
They saw Ye Yiqing holding a flaming blade, still in a swinging stance.
"Because I had a feeling something bad might happen today, I brought [ Fire Imbuement ] with me when I left."
A bone javelin pierced through the wall of fire and went straight into the eye of one of the Variant.
The Variant let out a scream and retreated repeatedly.
"Hehe, I brought my weapons too."
Ye Ciqing waved his hand, and the bone javelin stuck in one of his eyes flew back into his hand.
Liu Xiaogang smiled with relief, assumed a fighting stance, and prepared to fight the two Variant.
"Wait, let's go the other way. It's best to avoid fighting now and waste time!"
Just as Liu Xiaogang was about to rush over, Nanming suddenly called out to him and looked at Si Xiaobei.
With his mental energy activated, Si Xiaobei quickly found a route free of Variant and pointed it out to the group.
Liu Xiaogang thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so he stopped fighting and ran in another direction with them.
Compared to the slow-moving people on the ground, the three in the air were obviously much faster.
Sun Hai stood ahead of Xing Lan and Hela, looking at the building they were about to reach, and gripped the scythe tightly in his hand.
Suddenly, a jet of venom sprayed towards Sun Hai from the side.
Sun Hai glanced sideways, his scythe shrouded in darkness, and with a single blow, he dispersed the venom.
But then a giant spider, nearly three meters long, swung its sickle-like forelimbs and pounced on Sun Hai.
With a sharp forelimb, Sun Hai was instantly cleaved in two, disappearing into darkness.
The spider paused slightly, then froze in mid-air, tossing its head as it searched for Sun Hai.
In the night sky, a patch of darkness slowly gathered, Sun Hai squinted slightly to observe the spider standing in the air.
He stretched out a hand and grabbed at the air. With a tiny snapping sound, Sun Hai raised his hand to the moon.
Under the moonlight, a silver thread appeared in Sun Hai's hand.
"Stepping on spider silk..."
The hand holding the spider silk slowly loosened, and a bloody mark appeared on Sun Hai's palm.
Seeing that the tiny spider silk was so sharp, Sun Hai reached out and stopped Xing Lan, who was rushing towards him.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
Xing Lan stopped, holding Hela, looking puzzled, then glanced around as if suddenly realizing something.
"Is there some kind of barrier here?!"
Sun Hai shook his head slightly, glancing at the spider hovering in mid-air not far from them.
"This place is covered in sharp spider silk. If I'm not mistaken, the entire area around the building is completely covered in this kind of spider silk."
If we rush forward rashly, we'll easily get injured. Besides, even if we clear a path as we go, the Variant clinging to the spiderwebs will try to stop us."
"What should we do then?"
Xing Lan took a closer look at the dozen or so Variant of Xiaoxiao, all at the ' City Destruction ' level, clinging to the spider silk around her, and felt a headache coming on.
Sun Hai turned to look at Xing Lan and Hela, whom he was holding in his arms, then looked at the Digital Building, his face showing a conflicted expression.
Finally, he closed his eyes and let out a slow sigh.
"You take Hela to rescue Feng Xuan, I'll cover you."
As he spoke, he swung his sword forward, the sword energy composed of darkness severing several spider silk threads in front of him.
But this also attracted the attention of several ' City Destruction ' Variant, who crawled towards this spot.
"Captain..." Xing Lan looked at Sun Hai with some emotion, then hugged Hela and flew towards the building without hesitation.
"Don't worry, Captain, I won't let you down!"
He ran while shouting at Sun Hai.
Sun Hai's lips twitched, and he sighed again as he listened to Xing Lan's cringeworthy quotes.
"I hope she can be relied upon."
Its body slowly turned into darkness, blocking the path of the Variant.
"Squeak--!"
More than a dozen giant spiders roared at Sun Hai at the same time and attacked him like madmen.
Sun Hai raised the [ Black Crow ], its flame-like darkness illuminating the Variant.
Click!
The building's windows shattered, and Xing Lan and Hela tumbled inside.
Brushing the dust off its body, Xing Lan folded its wings and looked around.
"This place is quite clean, and there are no signs of a struggle. I wonder if Feng Xuan is here."
Hela also stood up, dusted herself off, looked around, and carefully sniffed the air.
But apart from the smell of blood and the stench emanating from the Variant, there was nothing else in the air.
Xing Lan stroked her chin, pondering carefully, "Where would Feng Xuan be at this time...?"
Hela, on the other hand, broke off one of her fingers, which transformed into a flying insect and began to probe in one direction.
At that moment, the electronic map hanging on the wall started flashing, and a green smiley face appeared on it.
"Gentlemen, I am artificial intelligence [Satellite], I know the location of your companion." ᵔ◡ᵔ↓
As the electronic voice faded, the [Satellite] pointed to a location on the map.
Wow! So convenient, so cool!
Stars rose around them, Xing Lan excitedly went to the electronic map.
Just as Xing Lan was about to set off, looking in the direction indicated by the [Satellite], she remembered something else.
"By the way, [Satellite], do you know what's going on with us right now? Who attacked us?"
The arrow disappeared, and the electronic map screen switched to the surveillance camera in the lobby on the first floor.
"We've been attacked by what appears to Light God Society. The entire building is now teeming with a type of Variant called [ Venomous Spider ]. Your companions are still alive; please rescue them as soon as possible!"
"Okay, sure!"
Xing Lan nodded hurriedly, grabbed Hela, and ran in the direction indicated on the map.
What she didn't notice was that after she left, one after another, Venomous Spider slowly crawled out of the shadows.
The screen of the electronic map also turned blood red.
