Chapter 40 Giant Spider, A Warning from the Indigenous People!
Chapter 40 Giant Spider, A Warning from the Indigenous People!
Su Jinjin held her breath and carefully made her way through the ruins.
Find a place where she can hide and stay.
She really hoped to find a space like the one in the previous instance where she could survive until the end, even if it was small, as long as she could stay there until the end of the instance.
However, after observing the situation, Su Jinjin felt that this instance was somewhat difficult.
The surrounding environment, and all sorts of mutated insects.
She would occasionally activate "Eye of Resume," and pale blue data would appear before her eyes as she attempted to analyze the intelligence of these mutated insects.
Mutant Cockroach
Mutant Centipede
[Mutant Beetle]...
The data panel only provides these simple explanations, without even specific numerical values.
Su Jinjin frowned as she dealt with several giant insects blocking her path.
Throw the body to the collection assistance system to see if it meets the collection conditions for Mission Two, but you hear a cold notification sound:
[Does not meet collection criteria]
"So, what kind of insects count?" Su Jinjin kicked away a large cockroach she had just dealt with.
The answer will be revealed soon.
When Su Jinjin turned a street corner, the scene before her made her freeze in place.
Countless silvery-white threads intertwined in the blood-red sky to form a vast, sun-obscuring web, on which countless giant spiders crawled.
Their bellies were swollen, and their eight compound eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light under the red glow.
This area seemed to have turned into a den of iniquity, with a nauseating stench permeating the air.
Su Jinjin's "Resume Eye" activated, and the data that appeared this time made her pupils shrink:
[Name: Giant Spider]
Gender: Female
[Special Skills: Silk Spear, Venomous Fangs]
Weakness: Fear of fire.
Unlike the previous miscellaneous fish and insects, the data on these spiders was frighteningly detailed.
What bothered her most was that the system collection interface suddenly lit up with a notification light.
These are the insects the mission requires.
"I see..." Su Jinjin suddenly realized, "Only insects with complete data count."
"They're really picky!" Su Jinjin complained.
It's good enough that it can kill insects.
Su Jinjin might not have been able to deal with the mutated giant cockroach if she hadn't taken the [Body Modification Pill] to strengthen her body.
Su Jinjin thought of Li Zhiming's telekinetic talent.
Why do I feel a little envious?
However, the awakened class skills this time are quite good.
Su Jinjin had previously considered adding poison to the fencing needles that were rapidly sewn together.
Unexpectedly, now I can attack targets by blowing air onto my fencing sword (using the Sleepy Fragrance and Sweet Fragrance skills) and then using the silver needles around it.
It's equivalent to having both the [Sleep] and [Control] effects applied.
Now, the concentrated fencing needles of [Quick Sewing] can not only stitch up targets, but also, when combined with the two skills of [Perfumer], create a situation where whoever is stabbed will fall asleep or be controlled.
This way.
Su Jinjin quietly took a few steps back and hid in a half-collapsed convenience store.
Through the broken shop window, she observed the structure of the spider web.
It was clear that Su Jinjin had entered the area of a giant spider colony.
Su Jinjin held her breath, preparing to make a tentative move against a giant spider that was alone on the edge.
She prepared to blow out a wisp of light pink "sweet fragrance," intending to lure one over and deal with it alone.
However, before Su Jinjin could make a move, a female voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Are you crazy?"
A deliberately lowered girl's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Su Jinjin so much that she froze.
She turned around abruptly, her right hand already on the sonic blaster at her waist.
Less than two meters away from her, a dusty-faced girl stared wide-eyed.
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her thin body wrapped in a dirty cloak, and she held a strangely shaped turquoise scythe in her hand.
When Su Jinjin looked closely, she realized that it was not a metal sickle at all, but a piece of an insect's foreleg that gleamed with a cold light, its edges so sharp that a cold glint could be seen.
"Are you trying to get entangled in their webs by provoking them now?" The girl stared at Su Jinjin with an expression as if she were an idiot, while making a throat-slitting gesture with her other hand.
Su Jinjin remained vigilant and secretly activated "Resume Eye".
Name: Cheng Cheng
Gender: Female
[Identity: Native of the Plague of Insects instance]
[Special Skill: Using a Mantis Scythe]
Weakness: Hunger
Su Jinjin remained vigilant, while Cheng Cheng silently mouthed, "Are you planning to attack these giant spiders to kill both of us?"
Su Jinjin narrowed her eyes and slowly withdrew her weapon, but her body remained in a posture ready to counterattack at any moment.
Su Jinjin stared silently at Cheng Cheng, her eyes as calm as a deep pool of water.
She knew all too well that in such an unfamiliar environment, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
"Hey, are you mute?" Cheng Cheng frowned, looking Su Jinjin up and down.
When he noticed her neat clothes and clean face, he suddenly clicked his tongue and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Judging from your appearance... are you one of the researchers from those shelters?" Cheng Cheng's tone suddenly sharpened, her grip on the mantis scythe tightening involuntarily. "You've all gone mad! To develop an insect fusion potion, you've abandoned all humanity!"
She took a sudden step closer, her voice low but filled with rage: "If you lunatics hadn't experimented on living people, how could monsters like the Insect Whisperers have been created!"
Su Jinjin's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained expressionless.
Although she only vaguely understood Cheng Cheng's words, she keenly grasped several key pieces of information: shelter, insect fusion agent, live experiments...
There are more problems behind this instance world.
After entering the Cataclysm game, there is a hidden rule in the system that you cannot reveal your player identity to the original inhabitants of the instance, so she must be careful.
"I'm not a researcher," Su Jinjin finally spoke, her voice deliberately lowered and hoarse, "I'm just a… survivor."
Cheng Cheng stared at her suspiciously, her gaze lingering on her clean clothes: "A survivor? Do you think I'm stupid?" She sneered, "What survivor could stay this clean?"
Su Jinjin never expected that she would be suspected and disliked by the people here just because of something as small as cleanliness.
This is something you must remember: in the apocalypse, who will be completely clean?
But this serves as a reminder to Su Jinjin that in the apocalyptic scenario, being too clean can also make one a target and arouse suspicion from others.
Su Jinjin wanted to say something more.
But then they discovered that the ground was suddenly shaking abnormally.
Cheng Cheng's expression changed.
She looked up at the distant sky. "Oh no, the giant spider is about to start hunting. If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly."
Without hesitation, he turned and ran.
Su Jinjin looked back at the spider web in the sky, where many giant spiders began to climb down to the ground.
Su Jinjin wanted to learn something from the other party, so she followed Cheng Cheng without hesitation.
