The spider swarm slowed its pursuit in the sulfurous smoke, and the worker spiders in the front row began to collide with each other, some tripping over their companions' legs and rolling into a heap.

Taking advantage of the gap, the two rushed across the food storage area.

As Lin You ran, she quickly scanned the top of the tunnel—every few dozen meters there was a ventilation shaft with rusty iron railings. The nearest one was just a few meters ahead.

She had no desire to engage in hand-to-hand combat with those enormous spiders.

Humans have two hands, spiders have eight legs.

Although not all of it can be used for attack, two fists can't beat four hands.

Not to mention dozens of them.

"Ventilation shaft! Muxue, you go first!" Lin You leaned against the tunnel wall, her hands folded over as a footboard.

Mu Xue had already retracted her shotgun into her spatial storage and stepped on Lin You's palm.

Lin You lifted her up forcefully, and Mu Xue grabbed the edge of the iron fence at the ventilation shaft entrance, using a bone dagger to cut open the rusty fence.

The fence crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

The sound woke up the surrounding spiders, who then gathered around.

He fell into the ventilation shaft.

As soon as I stepped onto the metal ladder, I heard a dense rustling sound overhead—not from a swarm of spiders chasing me from below, but from spiders crawling down from above the ventilation shaft.

They were much smaller than the worker spiders in the tunnel, which were the size of washbasins; each one was only the size of a fist, and they densely covered the inner wall of the entire ventilation duct.

In the firelight, it looked like a layer of flowing grayish-white moss.

Several spiders instantly landed on Mu Xue's hair, shoulders, and backpack, their tiny legs crawling across the back of her neck. She gritted her teeth and didn't scream, desperately swatting the spiders off her collar.

Lin You followed and climbed into the ventilation shaft. Looking up, she saw the grayish-white "moss" that was still spreading downwards and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Climbing up is no use! The entire ventilation duct is full of spiderlings!" She poked upwards with her torch, and dozens of spiderlings curled into small balls and fell down, scalded by the flames, but more spiderlings immediately filled the gaps.

The fallen spiderlings landed on the two of them, burrowing into their collars and cuffs. Their tiny fangs bit into their skin, not fatal but extremely itchy and stinging.

Lin You threw the torch at the swarm of spiders chasing after her on the ground. The torch somersaulted a few times in the air and hit the back of one of the spiders. The flames ignited the hairs on its body, and it screamed and rolled on the ground.

It instantly ignited the spider webs that had spread out around it.

Lin You jumped down from the ventilation duct. With one hand, she swung her mantis knife, severing half of the spider's leg. The spider lost its balance in mid-air and slid down the tunnel wall.

"gasoline!"

Lin You only had time to shout that one sentence before another spider pounced on her.

Fortunately, the torch ignited the surrounding spider silk, allowing Lin You to see the grayish-white figure rushing towards her.

The mantis blade unleashed a series of swift and deadly slashes.

In the blink of an eye, Lin You dismembered the five spiders.

Colorful liquids sprayed everywhere, and Mu Xue jumped down from it, swatting the little spiders off her body.

Even in this chaotic moment, I still remember Lin You shouting for gasoline.

A can of gasoline was thrown directly at Lin You.

In the dim light, a can of gasoline was thrown directly at Lin You.

Lin You didn't see clearly that what was thrown was a can of gasoline. She had already dodged to the side and instinctively slashed at it with her knife. The metal can rubbed against the mantis knife, creating a series of sparks.

Lin You chopped off a corner of the small gasoline can, and it fell to the ground, with gasoline gushing out.

Lin You then realized it was a gasoline can and kicked it.

The 5L gasoline can flew out and crashed in front of it.

It landed squarely in the white spiderweb-like swarm of spiders, as if those dozens of large spiders had been enraged.

Or it could be determined that the warehouse is under threat.

They all rushed towards Lin You.

Lin You shouted, "Again!"

Mu Xue had already killed most of the small spiders on her body, and upon hearing this, she took out a small can of gasoline from her spatial storage.

This time it's 10L.

Instead of handing the gasoline can directly to Lin You, Mu Xue opened the cap and asked, "Where are you going to throw it?!"

Mu Xue shouted loudly, her voice trembling.

Lin You didn't have time to answer; she turned around and killed another spider with two more slashes.

In the firelight, Mu Xue saw the large spiders approaching and instinctively threw the gasoline can she had planted over them.

Mu Xue's physical abilities as a superpowered individual far surpass Lin You's, including her strength.

The gasoline can hit a large spider on the head like a cannonball.

It knocked it to the ground in one fell swoop.

Lin You had already arrived beside Mu Xue, wielding the mantis knife with the speed of the wind, slicing spiders to death in mid-air.

But Lin You couldn't hold out for long either; this kind of battle was just too physically demanding.

"Flashbang! Throw it forward!"

Lin You didn't have time to give directions, so she could only give vague orders.

Mu Xue flipped her hand, took out a flashbang from her spatial storage, flicked the pin, and threw it forcefully into the depths of the maintenance passage.

The shotgun appeared in Mu Xue's hand the instant the flashbang was thrown.

Then came two loud booming sounds.

The spider, the size of a washbasin, had just pounced when it was hit directly by a shotgun.

"Pfft!" The spider was torn to shreds by a large number of shotgun shells.

The flashbang exploded in the narrow passage, and white light washed over the entire pipe like a flood, while the spiderlings emitted a series of faint hissing sounds.

The spiderlings in the front row were burned by the strong light and fell off the tube wall one after another, like a gray-white rain.

The adult spiders around Lin You were also affected, and chaos ensued.

Lin You's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she pounced on the burning torch without hesitation.

The surrounding spider webs were burning, but for a very short time.

Lin You grabbed the burning torch and threw it toward the approximate location where the oil drum had fallen.

The torches tumbled in the air, but the flames did not go out.

Instead, it burned even more fiercely, and even the wooden handles began to catch fire.

The torch fell to the ground.

The gray-white carpet of spider silk surrounding them burst into flames instantly.

Then it came into contact with the flowing gasoline, and the fire instantly expanded and spread.

The large spiders that had just charged forward were instantly thrown into chaos.

Before they could react, the spreading gasoline had already ignited them.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The spider, now engulfed in flames, fled in all directions, no longer caring about Lin You and the other person.

"Follow me and charge!" Lin You shouted, and sprinted toward the burning flames on the other side.

Mu Xue also knew that this was a life-or-death moment.

As Lin You ran, she brandished the mantis knife in her hand. Any spiders that ran around haphazardly that came within two meters of Lin You would be killed with a single strike.

Lin You didn't stop, rushing towards the raging flames.

In the flames, Lin You saw the entire place where the spider stored its food, which was a school bus parked across the middle of the road.

The school bus, which was originally wrapped in white spider silk and shaped like a giant sphere, was now completely exposed by the flames.

Most of them were human corpses, and some were the remains of strange beasts.

Most of the corpses were those of dinosaurs, as well as the phantom mantises that Lin You had once killed, but now only their shells remained.

Lin You had already rushed to the school bus and showed no sign of stopping.

The height of a school bus is generally a little over three meters, with the chassis about half a meter off the ground.

Lin You didn't go around it; there was simply no time for him to take a detour.

The spider in front panicked because of the gasoline, but the spider chasing behind was not affected much.

They remained relentlessly pursuing them from behind.

Lin You sank down and, using the momentum of running, slid under the school bus.

The movements weren't perfect, but even with a drop of more than half a meter, it was still possible to pass through.

The instant she passed through the flames, Lin You instinctively raised her arms to shield her face, still feeling as if she were being submerged in boiling water.

Although it was only for a moment, Lin You felt that her eyebrows were burned.

Rust and solidified cobwebs on the chassis brushed against her back, and her shoulder slammed into the exhaust pipe with a dull thud.

Lin You let out a muffled groan, but luckily she had already crawled under the car.

Suddenly, the view opened up before me, and there were no cars blocking the road.

Because the fire was too big, there were no spiders here.

Lin You rolled over and knelt on one knee, her arms burning with raging flames; the spider silk clinging to her arms had been ignited.

Ignoring her burning arm, Lin You turned to look at Mu Xue.

Mu Xue was running towards the front of the school bus, a step slower than Lin You. Just as she was about to round the front of the bus...

A large spider, burned but not quite dead, pounced from the side, its chelicerae outstretched and its spinnerets suddenly contracting.

A wisp of spider silk sprayed directly onto Mu Xue's left ankle, instantly wrapping her calf into a grayish-white cocoon.

Mu Xue fell forward, landing face down on the concrete ground.

The shotgun flew out of his hand and slid several meters away.

"Sister Lin—!" Mu Xue gripped the ground with both hands, trying to crawl forward, but the spider silk was extremely sticky, firmly attaching her calves to the ground.
