The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 102 Human Chrysalis
Adjutant Matt opened his mouth, but finally did not speak. He did not have the courage to face the spider monster alone.

It is human nature to be afraid of death. Leon said nothing more. Instead, he sat next to Peggy and his brother and sister, repeatedly watching the video taken by the drone and looking at the huge spider in the video.

More than an hour later, students from the armed mechanical class arrived at the fifth underground floor with more than 30 assault drones and a dozen armed mechanical dogs.

Soon, a huge four-meter-square display wall was assembled. The Peggy siblings directed more than a dozen students to organize a raid drone team and an armed mechanical dog team.

The two siblings each commanded a team and entered the huge black metal gate in an orderly manner.

In about a minute, the two mechanical teams passed through the long corridor and entered the spacious hall.

This time, in order to guard against attacks from overhead, they first pointed their cameras at the ceiling of the living room.

But when they observed carefully, they immediately discovered some clues.

It turns out that just above the entrance passage, a huge hole has been made in the ceiling of an unknown material. It is dark inside and is in a backlit corner. It is difficult to find this place without paying attention.

Leon immediately ordered Peggy to fly several drones to take a look, but before they could do anything, a hissing sound like a poisonous snake spitting a message, and the rustle of leather, came from the entrance of the cave.

Before the Peggy siblings could move, a huge patterned spider crawled out of the hole.

This spider monster, which is as big as a van, is staring at the group of assault drones and armed mechanical dogs in front of it with its pair of compound eyes that shine with a faint green light.

After less than a second, the giant patterned spider reacted immediately. It raised its abdomen, pointed its silk-spinning glands at the mechanical group in front of it, and spit out a large piece in the blink of an eye. White spider silk.

The Peggy siblings also reacted quickly. Their guns were immediately aimed at the giant patterned spider, commanding all the assault drones and armed mechanical dogs to disperse while shooting at the big spider.

What Leon and the others didn't expect was that the spider silk spit out by this spider was tougher than they imagined, just like the top-level bulletproof vest. When the bullet hit it, it turned out to be just a small splash like a wave. The ups and downs cannot damage the structure of the spider silk at all.

And those bullets that were not intercepted by the spider silk immediately broke the spider's skin when they hit the big patterned spider, leaving a series of blood pits and green mucus like pus on its body. Those blood puddles flowed out.

In this wave of exchanges, there were winners and losers. Seven or eight drones and armed mechanical dogs were entangled in spider silk, wrapped up in a ball, and lost their combat effectiveness.

The giant spider also suffered many wounds and was bleeding and injured.

Unfortunately, in terms of endurance and courage, flesh and blood life cannot compare with mechanical life. The drones and armed mechanical dogs controlled by Peggy's siblings did not stop. After they dispersed, they immediately attacked, and a large number of bullets rained down on them. The large spider with patterns poured out and landed on it, splashing countless green mucus.

The severe pain directly angered the monster, which had never been hurt before. The large patterned spider rushed towards the drone group and the mechanical dog at an extremely fast speed.

It spins silk while waving its eight long legs rapidly.

The long, dark amputated legs as thick as a lamppost were like eight sharp spears, stabbing at the drone and the mechanical dog. Amidst a heart-wrenching sound of metal friction, these long amputated legs actually broke through the steel plate. The defense penetrated directly through the bodies of the drones and mechanical dogs, destroying their structures.

The combat effectiveness of these war machines was destroyed in an instant.

Although there are a large number of drones and mechanical dogs, their attacks cannot really harm the large patterned spiders, and the large patterned spiders can kill them in one blow, whether by spinning silk or stabbing with long legs.

Soon, the drones and mechanical dogs were at a disadvantage, and their numbers decreased rapidly, reaching single digits within a few minutes.

Leon looked at the video on the screen, frowned, and commanded Paige:
"No more head-on conflicts. Lure out the patterned spiders and let us attack. Your drones must retain their strength."

Paige responded while controlling the drone and making various evasive movements:
"Okay, boss, I will lure it out in about half a minute."

Leon nodded when he heard this, and immediately turned to the soldiers behind him and said:

"Everyone, get ready. Pay attention to the patterned spider at the gate. Once it runs out, don't give it a chance to escape. Focus on it with all your strength." Brothers Moore and Daryl immediately picked up two submachine guns and responded loudly:

"Got it, boss."

Soon, under the control of Peggy, the drone that had just been attacking the large patterned spider suddenly turned and flew into the passage at the gate.

However, after suffering so much flesh and blood, this large patterned spider was red-eyed. It hardly stopped at all and immediately followed these drones into the passage.

He pursued them relentlessly, moved quickly, and kept spitting out the spider silk from his abdomen, trying to tie up those annoying little things.

After chasing for more than ten seconds, the big patterned spider followed the drones and rushed out of the huge black iron gate.

Before it could adapt to the surrounding environment, countless powerful bullets were fired at it.

puff!puff!puff!puff!
These machine gun bullets of different calibers are much more powerful than the small water pipes carried by drones and mechanical dogs. The hot steel bullets directly penetrated its skin, tore its flesh and blood, and penetrated deep into its body. place, causing huge trauma to this big spider.

However, the vitality of a mutated monster is also extraordinary. Even though it has been riddled with holes and the patterns on its body have become blurry and cannot be seen from its original appearance, it still has not lost its ability to move. Attacked by gunfire, he tried to slowly retreat back into the black door.

But at this moment, a clear gunshot suddenly sounded.

boom!
Leaving him more than 200 meters away, Leon held a huge Barrett anti-material sniper rifle in his hand, squatted on a higher sniper point, and hit the two dark green patterned spiders with one shot. The exact center between the compound eyes.

This kind of bullet, which can penetrate the armor of a tank, blasted a blood hole the size of a bowl directly on the big spider's head, penetrating directly from front to back.

However, no matter how the patterned spider whined and roared, Leon's attacks never stopped.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Four more shots were fired in a row, and the huge bullets directly smashed half of the big patterned spider's head into pieces.

The huge patterned spider raised its head and let out a mournful cry, its huge body crashed to the ground, unable to move anymore.

As the spider monster fell, the gunfire on the battlefield slowly stopped.

Leon picked up the Barrett anti-material sniper rifle, replaced it with a new magazine, and very carefully shot a few more shots at the head of the large patterned spider. After it stopped making any movement, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and put it down. The weapon in his hand.

There was no way he could do it. The tentacled monster in the Senas Nuclear Power Plant had left a deep impression on him. If he had run slower for a few seconds, he would have been twisted directly into pieces by those thick tentacles just like the sacrificed elite soldiers. Twist-like rotten meat.

After the battle, he did not prioritize dealing with the body of the large patterned spider. Instead, he walked to Peggy's side and continued to order:
"Peggy, continue to control your drone and get into the hole to see what is inside."

Peggy looked at Leon with admiring eyes for a few seconds, then turned her head and started to control the remaining drones.

Under her control, the drone entered the black metal gate again, passed through the long corridor, and entered the dark hole.

Through the light emitted by the camera, a scene appeared on the huge screen that Leon would never forget.

On the ceiling, in a space seven to eight meters high, countless spider silks were entangled together, forming white spider webs. They were like intertwined white cloths, covering the entire ceiling.

And among these spider webs, thousands of human-shaped white silk pupae like silkworm chrysalises are hung on these spider webs. They are densely packed like leaves on a willow tree. When people look at them, they feel an inexplicable feeling. The fear of the soul.

It's not hard for anyone to guess what it is that are bound into silk chrysalis by spider silk.

I am afraid that in this spider's food chain, we humans have become its daily food.
