For the next two minutes, the entire factory was shrouded in the constant “rustle” sound… Even though there was no sign of anything, and the street remained as empty as before, everyone knew in their hearts that the factory they were holed up in was like a lone island floating in a sea of spiders. Once the island was subrged, they too would beco spider fodder… Of course, the presence of the helicopter still offered them one last route of escape.
But at a ti like this, no one was even thinking about that escape route. Even though the sound made everyone’s hair stand on end, what filled their hearts more was a surging fighting spirit and burning anger.
However, when the rustling sounds were still so distance away from the factory, they stopped getting any closer… But rather than making anyone feel relieved, this only heightened the sense of threat. Just think about it-tens of thousands, maybe even more, spiders were forming the final encirclent in a well-ordered fashion. When soone gave the signal, they would surge forward in optimal formation and overwhelming numbers, tearing apart the dozen or so survivors in the factory without hesitation.
“Even from this far away, I can feel so many eyes staring at …” Black Silk muttered. “Looks like the enemy is planning to go all-in with one big move…” Ling Mo frowned.
A single, crazed assault could indeed win them victory in one fell swoop. But using their numbers to slowly grind down Ling Mo’s group in a battle of attrition seed the wiser choice. Since the enemy chose the forr, it showed they had a certain confidence in their own strength…
“Ling-Ge, your speculation was spot on. The other side doesn’t really understand our situation. That’s probably why they’re trying this approach… But what exactly they’re planning is hard to figure out. The only thing for sure is that the battle is about to break out.” Xia Na’s voice suddenly ca from beside him; she, too, was peering down from above as she spoke.
“But to us, this is only a tiny bit better than a war of attrition. No matter what, our disadvantage in numbers is built in, and that’s not sothing we can fix with tactics. Since they’ve decided to take such a blunt approach, let’s just give up on the outer periter of the factory,” Ling Mo said.
“You an…” Black Silk showed a thoughtful expression.
“Except for the Observation Team, who’ll stay up high, everyone else gathers in the factory. Since they want to play hardball, we’ll play along.” Here Ling Mo suddenly changed the subject and asked, “Is the factory all prepped?”
Xia Na nodded. “Yes! Every possible spider entry point has been blocked by , Ye Lian, and the others. And all those outdoor setups you asked for, we’ve got them done, too. Everything’s ready. Now there’s just one thing left to do… kill-hard!”
…
“Bang!”
With a muffled thud, a massive Dark Shadow appeared on the street of Dawn Town.
The mont the shadow appeared, the “rustle” sound all around instantly paused. Then it suddenly surged back, only this ti, it was several tis louder than before.
Following the Dark Shadow were several human figures… They varied in height, but all were shockingly thin.
One of them clearly stood in a different spot than the others… While the rest kept a certain distance from the massive shadow, only he stayed right by its side.
This person had a head of grizzled Hair, wore a perfectly tailored suit, and even his Hair was ticulously grood. He also wore thin-rimd glasses, and behind the lenses, his calm eyes revealed a faint excitent.
After these people appeared on the street, they didn’t act imdiately. Instead, all their gazes focused on the giant Dark Shadow.
The man beside the shadow turned, speaking respectfully to it: “As you ordered, we’ve surrounded them. And to test their attitude, we’ve deliberately made no effort to hide our movents. Yet even now, there’s no sign of them using the helicopter. Looks like they’re planning to go all the way against us.”
The Dark Shadow seed to move twice, and amidst a “rustle,” a voice suddenly ca from it. The voice sounded hoarse and indistinct, but the man beside it seed to understand perfectly and repeated: “Are you sure you want to do this? Fine, I’ll take care of them all. Don’t worry, Boss.”
After nodding a few tis, the man sharply turned his head to the figures behind him: “Listen up! The other side noticed Lu Ren reporting this so quickly, and now they’ve chosen to fight us-this proves two things. One, they know our main attack thod is spiders. Two, they’re confident enough to face our spiders head-on. But even so, our initial plan doesn’t change. All at once-wipe them out and finish this! Begin!”
With a wave of his hand, the others nodded and charged forward.
But as they moved, no one noticed that in a nearby alley, a black-and-white head was stealthily poking out from behind a Trash Can, its eyes wide open, watching everything…
“Oh… Looks like this group isn’t stupid either. I kept wondering why, if a sneak attack would have caught us off guard, they chose to do this instead. So that’s it… But whatever their motive, the fact that they gave up on a sneak attack ans they’re confident. No, wait… it’s not just confidence, it’s arrogance…”
On the rooftop, Ling Mo stared blankly ahead, muttering to himself. At this mont, his vision was hidden inside the body of mutation panda Xiao Bai… As soon as the enemy’s tactics beca clear, Ling Mo had Xiao Bai abandon its outer guard post, switching to this kind of “infiltration”…
The enemy could never have imagined that, in a place like this, there would be such a stealthy mutation beast. And as luck would have it, it just happened to be one that used to make a living by acting cute…
Xiao Bai-or rather, Ling Mo-squinted and scratched the ground lightly with his paw, feeling conflicted.
“Everyone else has left. Now’s a good chance, right? Other than that man, only the Boss is left… Is that the Boss? It’s kind of hard to see… Am I nearsighted? Can’t be, I can see that man clearly enough. Does this Boss have so kind of stealth technique? That can’t be either-it’s so huge, why would it need stealth? I can see it from two hundred ters away. But it really is huge, in every sense… Hm?”
Mutation panda’s eyesight was indeed impressive. Even with most of its view blocked, it still managed to get a clear look at the Boss…
It turned out that the blurry visual sensation wasn’t for any other reason, but because that Dark Shadow was…
“Leg hair!”
Ling Mo’s expression completely changed, and Xiao Bai gritted his teeth: “What the hell is this? There are spiders this huge in the world? That thing’s as tall as a building, right? Counting the legs, it’s got to be as big as two cars side by side! And those thick, spiky legs are seriously intimidating!”
Thinking this, Ling Mo had Xiao Bai shift its gaze to the side-
“There really are two cars parked side by side in a place like this! And sure enough, the size matches up… Just how many mutations did it take to get that big? The little giant grew to over two ters, but its starting point was already about forty centiters, right? But you… you started from half a grain of rice and grew to this size-how much growth serum did that take…”
Ling Mo scread inwardly, his mind full of just one thing: “Holy shit!”
