CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: I’M NOT THE HOLY MOTHER IN THE APOCALYPSE 14

There’s no denying that Lin Shuangshuang had impeccable aim. Even while sprinting at such high speed, she managed to accurately toss the spider eggs right in front of Li Man! Li Man was first startled by the sudden barrage of spider eggs, and immediately after, nearly paralyzed in shock as the mutant spider that had been trailing the eggs appeared.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"Why is the spider so freaking big? This is insane!"

"Stop whining and come help! This spider is too fast, I can’t hold it off any longer!"

"Help! My leg is tangled in web! Damn, the web is poisoned! My pants are ripping, help me out!" This desperate cry for help came from Zhao Yan.

Both his legs were bound by silk spun from the spider, which seemed poisonous, corroding Zhao Yan’s pants with a sizzling sound, soon eroding into the flesh on his legs. The toxicity of the silk was so strong that a putrid smell of rotting flesh quickly emanated from Zhao Yan’s legs!

"Everyone, stay calm. The more panicked we are, the easier it is for this spider to seize the chaos!" Li Man’s face was grim; she hadn’t expected an area with such rapidly evolved mutant spiders.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yan’s legs were on the verge of being ruined by the poison on the silk. Li Man felt anxious as she swung the machete in her hand frantically, dodging the frenzied mutant spider attacks while hacking at the sticky web on Zhao Yan’s legs.

Not daring to let the silk touch her, fearing the poison, Li Man’s actions were slow, causing her some frustration; she had to keep Zhao Yan safe!

By the time Li Man chopped through the silk on Zhao Yan’s legs, his legs were corroded so deeply by the poison that the bone was faintly visible! Relieved to save Zhao Yan, Li Man scrutinized the white spider eggs at her feet with a somber expression.

Although unaware of who it was, Li Man knew she had been manipulated! What frustrated her the most was that she didn’t even know who the hidden schemer was! She couldn’t recall any significant enemies, which was most terrifying because this enemy was completely unknown, devoid of any traceable clues.

The swarming locusts and ants besieging them continued to increase in numbers, now compounded by a highly lethal mutant spider! Watching her teammates begin to get hurt, Li Man was agitated. Initially, she intended to obtain some quality cold weapons, but who knew it would be so challenging to enter this place!

Li Man even doubted if the shop still existed amidst the encircling mutant plants and insects! Regardless, this couldn’t go on, and in the brief openings during combat, she took the opportunity to flick the spider eggs on the ground with her weapon, tossing them towards the back of the mutant giant spider!

With its eight eyes locked intently on its eggs, the mutant spider immediately abandoned its siege on Li Man and her team once it saw them thrown, turning to chase after its eggs.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Man arduously tore open a gap in the encirclement of locusts and ants and swiftly retreated with her teammates, all of whom were injured, with Zhao Yan being the most severely hurt!

The poison on the spider silk was potent, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on Zhao Yan’s legs. Even after Li Man decisively scraped away the necrotic flesh, the bones in Zhao Yan’s legs remained slightly discolored.

With a lack of medical supplies and treatment, effective care was impossible, making it likely that Zhao Yan would lose his legs. If the poison couldn’t be controlled, it might even cost him his life.

Zhao Yan’s injuries weighed heavily on Li Man’s emotions, as his importance to her outweighs any other teammate, regarded as her most significant and secret ace. But now this ace threatened to become a liability, further souring Li Man’s mood!

Secretly watching, Shuangshuang was a bit taken aback; she hadn’t expected the big spider to be so effective, actually leaving Zhao Yan in such a crippled state. Shuangshuang could almost be certain that Zhao Yan’s legs were permanently crippled!

This greatly lifted Shuangshuang’s spirits. She suddenly didn’t feel like killing this mortal enemy too quickly; she’d let Zhao Yan first taste the apocalypse’s cruelty. Without legs, no matter how well Li Man protects him, he wouldn’t escape psychological or physical suffering!

But now the trouble was, what to do about this spider?!

While evading the giant spider, now chasing Shuangshuang for stealing its eggs, she contemplated her predicament, feeling frustrated.

Webs sprayed rapidly from the spinneret on the mutant spider’s abdomen, swirling up and down, heading straight for Shuangshuang with relentless intent.

Chased relentlessly by the spider, Shuangshuang leaped and darted; the only fortune being the poison seemed confined to its silk, lacking a venomous bite. Shuangshuang believed that given the spider’s animosity towards her, it would’ve spit venom long ago if it had the ability.

Shuangshuang wasn’t incapable of fighting the spider, but without weapons and with the spider’s venomous silk, she found it tough to engage. However, continuously running wasn’t an option, as those indoors were still waiting for her to return with food. She needed to deal with the spider swiftly,

but this spider was unyielding, refusing to relent in pursuing Shuangshuang, forcing her to leap onto a tree and then jump down, fiercely kicking at one of the spider’s leg joints!

Although lacking her previous life’s strength and speed, Shuangshuang’s combat experience hadn’t diminished. She executed her attack with perfect timing, instantly kicking off one of the spider’s legs.

Short one leg, the spider tilted and nearly fell, but swiftly regained balance, charging once more at Shuangshuang at an even more frantic pace, showing no fear or hesitation.

Shuangshuang continued to run and leap, seizing more opportunities to kick off another of the spider’s legs. This time, the mutant spider seemed to have adapted, only swaying slightly before regaining balance and continuing the pursuit of Shuangshuang.

Having disabled two of the spider’s legs, Shuangshuang’s movements became much smoother, promptly dislodging two more of its long legs, leaving the eight-legged mutant spider with just four, keeping balance but inevitably slowing it down.

Yet despite having only four legs left, the mutant giant spider persistently charged at Shuangshuang time and again. Shuangshuang was exasperated; after all, she had used this spider to exact immense revenge, and she was reluctant to kill it.

But with the spider so vengeful, refusing to let her go, Shuangshuang felt a bit guilty yet resolved to resolve the spider.

Shuangshuang found another chance to jump onto the spider’s back, punching at its head with her fists, causing it to wobble but stay standing, attempting to shake Shuangshuang off its back.

Shuangshuang struck it twice more, and at last, the giant mutant spider couldn’t hold on, its legs collapsing underneath. As Shuangshuang was about to throw a few more punches to end the spider, another consciousness suddenly emerged in her mind!
