My apocalyptic heroine has come true

The powerful recoil caused the entire transport plane to shake a few times.

Then, not far away, five 'killer-type' mutant spiders that were acting as a group stopped.

The metal legs of one of the spiders were blown off, and before it fell, Shi Si pulled the trigger again.

"boom!!"

With another cannon shot, the large silver-white mutant spider fell to the ground.

The other two people on the transport plane were not idle either.

Fang Ming granted them the authority to operate the drone. Except for the two people who stayed in the shelter to operate the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to find the cave entrance, the rest were on the two transport planes.

Their mission is to actively hunt down the mutant spiders that appear during the day.

When you see a small self-destructing spider appear, retreat; when you see a large spider, take the initiative to meet it.

They had to transport the giant spiders' bodies, extract the energy crystals from their bodies, and then reclaim their completely metalized legs.

Doing so may not bring much help to Administrator No. 001 Xia Xiaochi, but it is still possible to slowly collect some energy crystals using this method.

There were six men in total on the two transport planes. They had never touched such high-level weapons. Before coming to the Ark Shelter, the most common things they had in their hands were wrenches or pickaxes.

When they touched the triggers of various guns and machine guns, their faces showed not only excitement but also an unprecedented sense of security.

“Bang—bang!!”

Outside the shelter, gunshots were heard in the distance.

Shi Yi sat at the long table, supporting her chin with one hand.

The lack of sleep during this period caused severe dark circles under her eyes.

Looking at the biological drawing in front of her, with the densely packed data of mutant spiders on it, she couldn't help but frown.

"What on earth could cause them to mutate so quickly..."

"This rate of evolution simply isn't something 'natural' could achieve... Is there some special radiation down there? Is that radiation causing some kind of signal interference?"

Shi Yi scratched her hair in annoyance.

Wanting to find someone to talk to, she turned to look at the central controller placed on the first floor of the shelter.

Fang Ming has disappeared for several days.

"Where on earth did you go..."

Shi Yi murmured.

……

Downstairs of the People's Hospital.

Fang Ming, who had just finished a morning of rehabilitation exercises, sat alone in a wheelchair.

It’s still a dozen days until the beginning of summer, and the sunlight outside the hospital building is becoming more and more dazzling, shining brightly on people.

Fang Ming sat under the shade of a tree, his eyes half closed, playing with a spider model in his hand.

This spider model is made of plastic and looks like the black widow among spiders, with eight steel-thorn limbs, a plump and round abdominal sac, and three scarlet red stripes that symbolize toxins and danger.

The spider model that appears in "Last Century Element" cannot be purchased in the modern world.

It is unknown how many times those spiders have mutated and evolved, and there is no relevant information or literature in this world.

After a long silence, Fang Ming lifted the black spider up to the sunlight.

Then he broke off the spider's legs one by one.

After he had 'chopped off' all eight legs of the black spider, Fang Ming crushed them completely like garbage and then threw them into the trash can.

"Fang Ming, what are you doing here?"

Wang Hongxia, who had been looking for Fang Ming for a while, ran over eagerly.

She was holding a bowl of hot yam chicken soup with rice and some appetizing pickles.

"See the scenery." Fang Ming said casually.

"I've been looking for you for a long time... Come, it's time to eat."

Wang Hongxia spoke in a tone as gentle as possible.

Wang Hongxia learned about Fang Ming's condition from Fang Ming's attending physician, and she has been delivering meals to Fang Ming in recent days.

Wang Hongxia has been a nanny in Fang Ming's home for so many years, and Fang Ming is used to the meals she cooks.

"I haven't seen you playing games recently. Did you finish it?"

Wang Hongxia wanted to find some topic to chat with Fang Ming, so she mentioned it casually.

Fang Ming paused for a moment while holding the bowl, took a sip of soup, and then spoke slowly.

"I won't be playing for the next few days."

"Tired of playing?"

"No……"

"How about Aunt Wang bring you a laptop tomorrow? Your computer at home has been gathering dust for a long time. There are a lot of games on it. You can use this one to play."

"No, I don't want to play."

Wang Hongxia's tone was enthusiastic, and Fang Ming knew that she meant no harm.

"Alright alright……"

Wang Hongxia sighed helplessly.

No one was confused by Fang Ming's sudden negative attitude.

But I heard from Fang Ming’s distant cousin that... he might have been heartbroken?

"If you have anything you want to do or somewhere you want to go, just tell me and I will take you there," said Wang Hongxia.

Fang Ming shook his head: "Aunt Wang, no need. If I want to go, I can go by myself."

When Wang Hongxia heard this, her eyes fell on Fang Ming's legs that were stepping on the wheelchair pedals.

In fact, Fang Ming is now able to walk on his own.

There are many places he can go on his own if he wants to.

However, no one was comfortable letting him go out alone.

Wang Hongxia was in a dilemma and didn't say anything more in the end.

After Fang Ming finished his lunch, she took away the dishes and told him that she would come to deliver the meal tonight, then left in a hurry.

Fang Ming rested for a while and returned to the rehabilitation center alone.

As it grew darker, he pushed his electric wheelchair back to his ward.

"...Why do you put so many spider models next to your bed?"

The nurse in charge of taking notes stood in front of Fang Ming's bed and said with a worried look on her face.

"I've been enjoying playing with models lately." Fang Ming replied indifferently.

"Why did you break off the legs?"

“It’s also a way to play with models.”

"..."

The young nurse paused for a moment and reluctantly put a '√' on the mental state in the record book.

"Okay...you can do whatever you like, but don't do anything dangerous. You can't put the model in your mouth or eat it, okay?" the young nurse said very responsibly.

Fang Ming nodded.

Eating models...isn't that something a three-year-old would do?

"How's your sleep lately? Are you still having insomnia? Should I prescribe you a dextropiclone?"

"No, I won't take medicine today," Fang Ming shook his head and added.

"By the way, I want to take a day off tomorrow. Please tell the people at the rehabilitation center for me."

"Asking for leave again?"

The nurse took Fang Ming's temperature and blood pressure and looked at him suspiciously.

Fang Ming explained, "I worked out too hard today, my legs are sore, I'm going to take a day off."

"Fine……"

The young nurse answered reluctantly, but still agreed.

As the nurse left, the door was locked again.

Fang Ming sighed helplessly.

Why are people around him so wary of him?

It made him feel as if he would be letting down their defenses if he didn't do something extreme.

Fang Ming lay on the bed for a while, not looking at his phone, but just staring at the familiar ceiling in a daze.

The sun gradually sank, and the golden light was swallowed up by the darkness.

The street lights outside the building came on and the wind in my ears became colder.

Fang Ming came to the windowsill and gently closed the window.

He stood by the window, holding the railing with both hands. The bright moonlight was like a girl's soft hand, gently brushing his face.

The confusion and fear in the eyes looking out the window had long since disappeared.

Fang Ming remembered what Xia Xiaochi said to him before she left.

"Don't be afraid. If you are afraid, I will be afraid too."

and so……

Fang Ming doesn't feel scared at all now.

"Fang Ming, I've done what you asked me to do."
