Those who reincarnate must die.

Guangsha Pavilion is the largest shopping mall in Qingyang City. (Google search for more information)

With the Industrial Revolution and the significant advancements in production and construction technologies, massive buildings sprang up, and people were surprised to find that the shops that used to fill entire streets could now be housed in a single building.

Thus, the earliest department stores appeared.

Guangsha Pavilion is such a place.

The seven-story building occupies a vast area, with carved beams and painted rafters, and is magnificent. The reinforced concrete building is decorated with vermilion paint and layers of glazed tiles, which at the same time combine classical and postmodern aesthetics. It is a landmark building full of oriental charm.

This building is not far from the West Gate; it's just a hundred meters or so along the main west road.

When Zhang Lang came to Qingyang City before, he would always go to Guangxiage to bring Xiao Ya some small gifts. At first, they were small pieces of jewelry, but later Xiao Ya hinted to him that she couldn't quite describe Zhang Lang's taste, so later, he changed it to rare snacks that couldn't be bought in town...

Looking at this familiar building that he had visited several times, Zhang Lang felt as if he had returned to that bustling and noisy era.

The once grand building was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful clothes, and was always packed with customers all year round. But now, this huge building is covered with huge cobwebs and looks dilapidated and dirty.

This is the place where the survivors once lived. Although he knew that their chances of being alive were slim, Zhang Lang still decided to go in and find out.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that one human being survives, it would be a great comfort to him!

Zhang Lang gripped the Tiger Roar tightly and slowly walked into the Guangsha Pavilion.

The lobby on the first floor used to be a wet market, with all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat and eggs, snacks and treats. Of course, if you find the first floor too dirty and noisy, you can go directly to the second floor from the building on either side of the main entrance to see the goods on other floors.

Zhang Lang slowed his pace and walked around the first floor.

The fruits, vegetables, and meats here are basically gone. The stalls are being overturned and overturned. Zhang Lang guessed that they were not eaten by the previous survivors... or at least not all of them.

Since the number of survivors is likely very small, most of the fresh food will rot before it can be eaten. Nine times out of ten, it will be devoured by the various monsters that have invaded this area…

Upon arriving at the snack section, the sunflower seeds, crispy candies, dried fruits, and candied fruits, all sealed in oil paper, were completely sold out. Moreover, the stalls were relatively tidy, suggesting that most of the items were purchased by survivors.

In the apocalypse where production has stalled, this kind of easily preserved food is even more important.

There was nothing to find on the first floor, which makes sense. To survive in the apocalypse, you either need to dig a tunnel or find a high point. In short, you need to find a relatively hidden and easily defensible place. This kind of hall with doors on all four sides, where anyone can come in and wander around, is indeed not suitable for taking refuge.

The elevator was definitely no longer usable. Zhang Lang arrived at a side door, climbed up the stairs on both sides, and when he reached the landing where he turned back, the path was completely blocked by various debris.

Zhang Lang walked around and found that every door and every staircase was the same. It seemed that the survivors' activity area started from the second floor.

Zhang Lang recalled that each floor of Guangsha Pavilion sold different goods. The first floor sold various ingredients, the second floor mainly sold various daily necessities, the third floor sold clothing and shoes, the fourth floor was a restaurant, the fifth floor sold high-end clothing, such as fur, silk, and some old brand shoes and hats, which were more upscale than the third floor, and the sixth floor sold various jewelry and ornaments. Usually, only wealthy people would buy things on these two floors.

As for the seventh floor, it is not open to the public. It is the office area of ​​the owner of Guangsha Pavilion. Any problems can be reported here and handled by dedicated staff.

Because the entire Guangsha Pavilion is shaped like a tower, the area decreases as you go up. So, by the seventh floor, the area is less than half that of the first floor. Zhang Lang has never been there and doesn't know what it looks like inside.

Taking the stairs to the second floor was out of the question, so Zhang Lang went outside and lightly leaped up to the second floor.

The ceilings in these shopping malls are all over six meters high, and the second-floor balconies are at least seven or eight meters above the ground, but for Zhang Lang now, this is a height he can reach with a simple tiptoe jump.

Silently scaling the second-floor railing, Zhang Lang found that most of the doors and windows here were nailed shut from the inside with wooden planks or similar materials. He kicked open a door, destroying the lock along with the wooden planks nailed inside.

As the dilapidated wooden door collapsed, a cloud of dust billowed out from inside. Zhang Lang ignored it and walked in, the door creaking under his feet. When the dust settled and the sunlight streaming in from outside revealed the scene inside, even Zhang Lang, with his composure, couldn't help but show surprise.

Compared to the first floor, this place is truly unrecognizable!

The original shops and stalls are all gone, and even the ceilings are gone. The entire second, third, and fourth floors, and possibly even the fifth floor, have been destroyed by an unknown force. Apart from the pillars that run through the building, the middle part of the Guangsha Pavilion, which was originally divided into several floors, has been opened up into a huge space tens of meters high!

The dim light filtering through the gaps in the doors and windows revealed that the entire place was covered in thick cobwebs!

Unlike the spider silk spun by those ubiquitous insects, the spider silk here is at least as thick as wool, and when twisted together, it's even thicker than a person's thigh! These spider silks of varying thicknesses crisscross between the six-meter-high ceiling and floor, resembling a huge, three-dimensional maze woven from spider silk! And at the very top of this maze, one can vaguely see a huge cocoon woven from dense spider webs—that thing occupies what should have been the sixth or seventh floor of space.

Nine times out of ten, that's the monster described in the diary. That thing has made this place its lair, where it's spinning its cocoon and hibernating. I don't know if it's just resting or preparing to evolve to the next stage.

Has it already been completely occupied...?

Zhang Lang gritted his teeth. It seemed that the possibility of anyone being here was almost nonexistent.

Looking at the shocking spider silk, Zhang Lang felt extremely frustrated. He didn't notice that behind him, a huge monster was silently and slowly falling down.

Zhang Lang turned to leave, but as soon as he turned back, a huge black shadow pounced on him with bared teeth and claws!

That was a spider bigger than a person!

Caught off guard, Zhang Lang was pounced on by the spider. Eight spider legs, as thick as a human arm, tightly bound him, while two venomous fangs, each the size of a banana, secreted venom and lunged at Zhang Lang's face!

Snapped!

Zhang Lang stretched out his left hand and used the gap between his thumb and forefinger and between his middle and ring fingers to clamp the two venomous fangs. With a flick of his wrist, he twisted the two fangs off with a snap!

The spider monster trembled in pain, and Zhang Lang kicked it off his body with his knee!

The giant spider fell flat on its back, its eight legs flapping rapidly to flip itself over, but before it could retaliate, a loud bang was heard, and its head, along with half of its chest, exploded amidst the roar of the tiger's gun.

Is this the spider that guy wrote about in his diary? It seems smaller than I imagined.

Before Zhang Lang could analyze the situation, he suddenly heard rustling noises coming from all directions in the mall. Groups of eight eyes, like red lights, lit up from the darkness and all looked at Zhang Lang.

This used to be a spider's nest! Are these all the children of that big spider?

Realizing this, Zhang Lang immediately turned and rushed towards the door he had damaged! But several splatters of slime shot out, slapping the door shut! Zhang Lang frowned, raised his hand and transformed it into a blade, slicing through it with lightning speed. Layers of spider silk snapped in response, but much more tangled and sticky, layer upon layer, wrapped around his hand, not so easy to break!

At this moment, five or six large spiders crawled out of the darkness and rushed towards Zhang Lang along the intricate spider silk!

Zhang Lang rubbed his hands together, using his divine weapon skills to remove the spider silk. He rolled away from the large spiders, but at the same time, he ventured deeper into the mall, where even more spiders, with their eight red eyes, surrounded him.

"The principle of hunting reincarnators is to fight in environments you are familiar with!"

Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes, recounting the experience he had gained from countless life-or-death battles, then shook his head: "But these guys aren't reincarnators, and I'm not here to hunt... Let me indulge myself a little..."

As he spoke, Zhang Lang tucked the massive Tiger Roar revolver into his waistband, removed the rifle from his back, and with a click, skillfully pulled the bolt to load a round, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Who told you damned beasts to eat my last kin!"
