Chapter 18
Four days ago.
The Bureau began to investigate a new case.
Although it is also a missing case, it is different from the one of the skinned girl.
The victims had no special preference. Except for the elderly, men, women and children disappeared overnight. The room was as clean as before, and there were no signs of damage to the doors and windows. It was like disappearing out of thin air. At first, the police did not connect these cases until one day, A neglected clue came into their view.
Some strange traces can always be seen in the missing person's home.
Dark corroded wood, climbing traces in dark corners, and fecal insect eggs left on the ground.
After several days of hard investigation without results, the police contacted the supernatural investigation bureau with the last glimmer of hope.
And Zhao Dong is the unlucky guy who was sent in the past.
"... I took the instrument to the crime scene. It was clean and there was no problem." Zhao Dong said slowly, "however, as soon as the instrument approached the evidence, it began to alarm wildly. I have never seen such a high value. At first, I thought it was an instrument problem, but it was the same after changing."
"I hurried to report it, and the top also attached great importance to it. I said that I would send someone to deal with it soon..."
One of Cheng CE's faces was blankly: "so... What's wrong?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly: "there is no problem anywhere."
——That's the most incredible part.
On the night of the mission, Zhao Dong went home to rest as usual.
In the middle of the night, he was awakened from his sleep by the strange itch on his ankle. When he scratched vaguely, he felt that the skin under his fingers became swollen, soft and inelastic, as if something else was crawling under the skin.
Zhao Dong woke up with a start and hurriedly turned on the light. Then he was shocked to find that his ankle had become what it is now.
One of Cheng CE listened to Zhao Dong's retelling in horror, and his face turned white:
"Then, then, what shall we do! You can't let them really, really climb out of your body! "
"I've contacted the above. They sent a class a team from the central combat section. They should be here in two days." Zhao Dong sighed: "Alas, I hope they can find a way..."
Standing aside, Yezei didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he didn't pay attention to the two people's dialogue at all. His eyes drooped slightly, his eyes fell on Zhao Dong's two terrible legs, and his eyes looked unprecedentedly dignified.
——Yes, he knows what this is.
Even in the game, this is one of the most difficult and frightening monsters for players.
Ghost faced spider.
At this time, an evil and terrible creature, living in groups, will kidnap humans back to their nests as a food and spawning container for insect mothers.
During the breeding period, the mother's children will only be born in carefully selected healthy human bodies, while ordinary spider soldiers are not so picky. They will leave their eggs everywhere they walk. These eggs will have a dormancy period of nearly a week. After the dormancy period, they will randomly look for surrounding human hosts and grow in their bodies, Slowly eat the host from the inside.
Only a mother worm belongs to B + up, or even a + level monsters in the game.
The whole nest adds up to a disaster close to class s.
They breed so fast that they can eat up an entire city in a few weeks.
What's worse, if a person is parasitized by insect eggs, he can't forcibly take out the eggs by ordinary methods, otherwise he will irritate the larvae and accelerate the death of the host.
In addition to taking the secretory gland in the mother's stomach and drawing out the larvae with the smell inside, there is almost no response plan.
This is absolutely big trouble.
Moreover, he can't place his hope on the combat teams just dispatched. They don't know the habits of these creatures at all, but may further slide the situation to the edge of out of control.
Yezei glanced at Zhao Dong lying in the isolation ward and sighed in his heart.
Forget it, after all, this is to help his revolutionary comrades in arms who often leave early and cover up sooner or later, and he is still an honest man who will deal with the superfluous documents he pushed him without complaint. Run every time.
——This is probably the sympathy between social animals.
The first step for insecticidal mothers to take glands is to find their nests first.
Yezei drove the ghost to the police station, destroyed the eggs that had not yet hatched in the evidence room, and then roughly swept the place where the disappearance occurred. He had a general scope in his mind.
In the whole swarm, except for the mother, the other spiders are tool spiders with low IQ. They hunt without considering the serial killer law of "rabbits don't eat nest grass". On the contrary, they only pick nest grass and eat it vigorously.
Yejia's sight fell on an abandoned construction site on the map and made a rough estimate.
It's probably here.
The next steps are left to the little black hand——
Yezei stood on the edge of the abandoned construction site. The iron hand ruthlessly pulled down the little black hand tightly on his shoulder: "go and find it."
The little black hand resisted madly: "ah, ah, ah, I don't want the ghost face spider. It's terrible. Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu -"
Yejia: "let you play with your mobile phone tonight."
“……”
The little black hand suddenly perked up: "good boss! Thank you,boss! I'll go now, boss! "
Soon, with the help of the little black hand who was particularly sensitive to Yin Qi, Yejia found the entrance of the insect nest without much trouble.
This is an abandoned building.
It seems to be the unfinished project left by the rapid construction of the city, and because it is on the edge of the city, it has been ignored for at least five or six years.
The ground is overgrown with weeds, the dirty blank walls are painted with messy graffiti, and the unsettled window frames and door frames are like empty eyes, staring at the gray sky in the distance. The evil spirit of the sky is shrouded around the building. Even ordinary people who have no vision will feel inexplicable fear and chills standing here.
The ground has collapsed because of age, revealing a large dark hole.
Yezei stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down.
A stench of corruption diffused from it, and the faint sound of rustling could be heard.
That's it.
"How are you going to get in?" The little black hand poked out from Yejia's shoulder and asked curiously.
Yejia did not answer his question, but looked thoughtfully at the dark cave in front of him.
This is the most critical second step - entering the insect nest.
This is also the most difficult step.
The ghost faced spider has poor vision, but its smell is amazing. It is especially familiar with the fresh and warm smell of living people. In addition, the insect nest must be full of spider webs - that is the extended sensory organ of the ghost faced spider. It is very difficult to sneak in and kill the insect mother protected by thousands of spider soldiers.
But it's not impossible.
Yezei slowly put on his hood and pressed down the brim.
The next second, a wisp of cold ghost gas slowly spread from his body and quickly wrapped him in it.
In just a few seconds, his breath was no different from that of a fierce ghost.
The little black hand stared at the young man in front of him in shock
Not only the breath, from the appearance, the young man in front of him was a real ghost. The dark hood covered his face tightly, revealing only half of his pale and sharp chin. A little dark smoke floated in the cold black air, making his body hazy and distant, just like a layer of field, which could not be penetrated by the line of sight.
"This... This..." little black hand was stunned: "this is too strong!"
It incredibly circled Yaga: "are you really human?"
Yezei: "
Even though separated by a layer of gloomy black gas, the little black hand can still feel the threatening sight of the other party. It trembled, quickly ran back to Ye Jia's shoulder and said as if nothing had happened: "cough, um, let's go!"
The cave of the ghost faced spider is dark and deep.
Yezei walked down the hole carefully. The road under his feet was slippery and rugged. The sticky spider silk covered with dust covered the narrow passage like a web cover, making his walking more and more difficult.
Out of the passage, my eyes suddenly opened up.
Yejia raised his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.
After so many years of playing in the game, his night vision ability has become very strong. Through the glimmer of light from the hole behind, Yejia can clearly see the panorama of the cave in front of him.
The ghost faced spiders have eaten away the whole bottom of the ground.
The cave in front of us is amazing. Countless strange channels shuttle through it. It's dark. From the ground to the top of the cave, there are layers of cobwebs, filled with the stench of rotten corpses everywhere.
This is the largest ghost faced spider nest Yezei has ever seen.
It's hard to imagine how these monsters sneak into reality, and then quietly dig under the ground to create their own huge kingdom, predation, reproduction and invasion
It's like a malignant tumor growing under the skin of the city.
In such a huge nest, there are at least front spider soldiers and insect mothers above class A.
The strange thing is that he hasn't met a spider soldier yet.
But it's good for him.
Ye Jia's fingertips lit up a faint blue ghost fire. He bent down and put the ghost fire close to the cobweb on the ground.
A bright red trace appeared on the cobweb.
That's human vitality.
——All living human beings are the mother's reserve food and nursery. If you find human beings, you will find the mother.
Yejia followed the little vitality forward.
After covering up all the human smell on his body, his existence was almost dissolved in the whole cave. As long as the spider soldiers did not deliberately search, they could hardly distinguish his steps from the breeze stirring the cobweb.
His figure was like a wandering shadow, and he quietly dived deeper along the tortuous and treacherous passage in the cave,
The more forward, the more terrible the coverage density of the cobweb is. The layers of greasy cobwebs cover the whole cave tightly, and the rotten smell in the air is more and more intense, which is almost breathless.
Suddenly, Yejia's hand touched something.
Soft, sticky, covered with spider silk.
He turned to look beside him.
The dim ghost fire barely dissipated the darkness for more than an inch. Under the weak light, an upside down pale face directed at Yejia, a pair of muddy and gray eyes half closed, twisted lips wide open, and the whole face was like a melting wax statue.
Yezei narrowed his eyes slightly.
He carefully distanced himself from the face in front of him, and then lit up the ghost fire at his fingertips.
In front of us is a huge nest. The cobwebs on the ground are full of rotten corpses. Some have been gnawed and incomplete, and some have only a handful of white bones left.
Countless human beings were wrapped in spider silk like cicada pupae and hung upside down in the cave. Each face was equally pale, dull and stiff. In their belly, they could vaguely see the creeping bulge, as if something was growing inside their body.
This is the nursery of the ghost face spider.
The mother worm should be nearby.
Yezei was about to extinguish the ghost fire at his fingertips, but he saw a huge dark shadow suddenly emerging from the cave not far away. Six feet covered with dark hair stretched out. On the huge brown body, there was an ugly face, six eyes stared at him viciously, and sharp pincers appeared in his lips.
No, spider soldier.
A cold awn appeared at Ye Jia's fingertips.
However, unexpectedly, the spider soldier did not intend to attack him.
Its claws and feet opened and closed, making a clicking sound, and a hissing throat overflowed: "who is attending the meeting?"
meeting?
Ye Jia's fingertips flickered with cold light and gave a silent "um".
"You're going the wrong way." The spider soldier hissed, "come with me."
"The queen is impatient to wait."
With that, he turned and drilled back into the cave when he came.
Being taken directly to the insect mother is like pie falling from the sky.
Yezei hooked his lips.
He put away the ghost fire and followed.
