The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

This sudden turn of events froze the smiles on everyone else's faces.

They stood frozen in place, watching this scene in disbelief.

After realizing what had happened, they all took several steps back in unison, increasing the distance between themselves and the boy.

Fear spread silently among them.

"Why...why?"

The leader of the chosen ones trembled, his face filled with fear and confusion.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill anything today?"

Upon hearing this question, the coldness on the boy's face finally became undisguised.

He laughed wildly, his laughter echoing in the darkness.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"They believe anything they hear; they're a bunch of hopeless idiots."

He stopped laughing, and his clear eyes swept over everyone present.

In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people.

"One type is a valuable person, worthy of showing kindness; the other is a useless piece of trash."

He took a step forward.

Which type do you think you are?

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already become a blur, instantly disappearing into the crowd.

Screams rose and fell, only to be abruptly cut off in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, half of the original twenty-odd people were gone.

"You're insane! You're a madman!"

The remaining chosen ones were filled with panic. They could no longer care about anything else and turned to run away with all their might.

As someone ran, they shouted hoarsely, "But you just saved us!"

"You're the one who saved us!"

This was his biggest question.

He couldn't understand it, he just couldn't understand it at all.

If you never intended to let them go in the first place, then why save them?

The boy, however, remained calm and composed: "I said I believe in cause and effect."

"Letting you go today might save my own life tomorrow; that's true."

The next second, he appeared in front of someone.

"But I'm not saying this to you, understand?"

"idiot!"

The moment the last sentence was uttered, the chosen one felt a sudden heaviness on his head.

He saw the boy's face so close to his own, and the hand pressing on his head.

He wanted to beg for mercy, to resist, but found that he couldn't even move a finger.

The boy looked at the corpses lying on the ground, but felt no emotion whatsoever.

Although he didn't think these guys could amount to anything.

But what if?

He witnessed these guys at their most pathetic. What if one of them got lucky and had some extraordinary encounter, managing to survive against all odds and grow stronger?

He had seen far too much of human nature.

It really can't stand the test at all.

If that were to happen, and they were to meet again...

For the sake of their so-called face and dignity, they would definitely turn against themselves.

Rather than leaving a minor hidden danger, it's better to eliminate it completely now.

The boy's palm applied pressure gently.

Bang.

The last head exploded.

......

An island in the east.

This bustling metropolis, known as the city that never sleeps, is currently in the middle of the evening rush hour.

On the crowded streets, car horns blared incessantly.

Long lines formed at the traffic lights.

Pedestrians hurried across the zebra crossing, each with their head down, looking at their phone screens.

One second it was sunny.

The next second, thick black clouds pressed down without warning.

The clouds were so low they seemed to touch the lightning rods of the skyscrapers.

The entire island was instantly shrouded in darkness.

The motion-sensor streetlights lit up one after another, illuminating the street in a stark white light.

"What the hell? The weather forecast said it would be sunny today!"

A man carrying a briefcase stopped and looked up at the sky.

"This weather, how come it rains so suddenly?" The older woman next to her quickly gathered up the cloth bag in her hands.

"My freshly washed clothes are all hanging outside!" the young girl complained, raising her hand to shield her head.

A white-collar worker in a suit irritably loosened his tie: "I should have driven out. The clouds are so thick, I wonder how heavy the rain will be."

In the cafes along the street, customers by the window took out their phones and took pictures of the sky.

No one realized what was hidden in the dark clouds overhead.

Bang!

A deafening roar drowned out the noise of the street.

A huge black shadow fell from the sky and slammed into the roof of a brand-new white sedan parked on the side of the road.

The roof of the car caved in instantly, and several horrifying holes were smashed into the hard sheet metal.

Broken glass was scattered all over the floor.

The piercing car alarm blared wildly.

"Hold!"

The car door was kicked open.

The car owner, enraged, rushed out and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Who the hell was that?! They almost killed me, you know? Falling objects from a height is illegal, don't you know that?"

"I just bought this new car!"

He strode forward, wanting to see exactly what had smashed the car.

But on the roof of the car, the dark shadow moved.

Eight thick, barbed limbs slowly stretched out.

The hard, black carapace gleamed dimly under the streetlights.

The car owner noticed it out of the corner of his eye and looked down.

But after seeing what it was, he froze on the spot.

That wasn't some random litter at all.

It was a giant spider, as big as an adult goat.

The spider's abdomen was swollen, and its eight scarlet compound eyes stared intently at the driver below.

The driver's terrified and distorted face was reflected in his eyes.

The car owner had just opened his mouth, but hadn't uttered a single word yet.

puff.

A thick, segmented limb suddenly pierced down.

The head that was cursing just a second ago was instantly pierced.

The limbs were pulled out.

It brought up a string of sticky red and white substances.

The body lay stiffly on the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

The streets fell into dead silence.

The person holding their phone in the coffee shop froze.

Pedestrians on the zebra crossing stopped in their tracks.

Two seconds later.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Monster! Monster! There's a monster!"

A piercing scream tore through the night sky.

The crowd erupted into chaos, scattering in all directions like madmen.

The briefcase was discarded, and the high heels were stepped on.

Everyone was running at full speed.

But this is only the beginning.

The sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground were everywhere.

What's falling from the sky isn't rain at all.

Countless black dots pierced through the clouds and plummeted rapidly.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

One after another, heavy objects slammed to the ground.

Countless spiders fell from the sky.

The air raid sirens finally sounded belatedly throughout the island.

The piercing alarm mingled with the desperate screams of humanity.

A giant spider crashed into a moving bus.

The enormous impact snapped the bus in half.

Passengers inside the carriage were thrown out of the windows as the train overturned.

Before they could even get up, the surrounding spiders swarmed around them.

A small spider landed on a man's back.

Its sharp mandibles instantly pierced through the coat, injecting venom.

The man screamed and fell to the ground, his body rapidly turning black and melting.

"Quick, this way!"

On the street corner, a security guard drew his riot baton and slammed it down on the onrushing spider.

when.

The metal rod struck the spider's carapace, sending sparks flying.

The riot baton was bent.

The spider was completely unharmed.

It climbed up the stick onto the security guard's arm and bit through his neck.
