Chapter 42 (2/2)
Zero went into one of the dormitories. The building above the fifth floor had already been damaged and collapsed. The building below the fifth floor was still in good condition, but it was full of cracks as if it could collapse at any time.
In the corridor on the ground floor of the dormitory building, a transparent layer of viscous substance attracted zero attention in the dark environment.
Squatting down, Zero used his fingers to lightly stick it to his nose and gently sniffed it.
There was a faint stench coming from it, similar to that of a dead fish.
The numbness on his fingertips told Zero that there was a small amount of poison.
This kind of thing was not unfamiliar to him. He had already seen a lot of it in these two days.
It was the spider's silk mucus, which would wrap around the prey and drag it away.
When a spider drags, it leaves mucus like this on the ground.
The mucus on this corridor had not yet solidified, indicating that a spider had just dragged its prey by.
The trail of mucus ran down the corridor to the multifunctional hall. Zero stood up, took out a pair of revolvers, and headed toward the multifunctional hall.
The main door of the multifunction hall was already more than half rotten, only a small piece of wood remained to act as a cover.
After entering through the gap in the door, a piece of empty space was cleared out of the multifunction room.
The morning sun shone in from the window, and in the light, the pupa wrapped in spider webs was hanging in mid-air.
A rock spider dragged its spiderwebbed prey up the wall, anchored it to the ceiling of the hall with webs of thick slime, and a new human chrysalis joined in.
To his surprise, these monsters used the multifunctional dining hall as a food storage room, and these people would become a feast for the spiders when they multiplied.
They would be sucked out of the spider by the hungry spiders, leaving behind only a skeleton corpse.
After fixing the food on the ceiling, the spider disappeared into a crevice in the corner of the hall.
Only then did Zero enter the hall and came to the bottom of the prey that had just been captured.
The people wrapped in spider silk were old and young, men and women.
Some of them were dead, some as faint as the new prey.
The newly captured man recognized him.
It was the nose of an old drunk whom Zero had bumped into at the entrance of the union hall.
Zero took out his dagger and cut the spider web open. He then gently supported the old drunkard's body and placed him on the ground.
The neurotoxin on the spider silk had already invaded the old drunkard's body. Right now, he could only hope that this person would not be captured by the rock beads for long and that he would not be poisoned deeply.
Zero rolled up the drunk's sleeve and was about to wipe his wrist with the dagger.
Unexpectedly, the dagger was grabbed by a hand.
The old drunkard, who should have been paralyzed, asked Zero with his eyes wide open, ”What are you doing?”
”You're not poisoned?”
Zero was surprised.
The drunkard sneered, ”Which one of the Monster Hunters did you say would be defeated by a monster you are familiar with?”
What a joke.
I let it catch you on purpose, you fool! '
He was surprised. He knew about Hunters, but he didn't know that there were Monster Hunters among them.
He didn't expect that the old man who had just stepped into the coffin would be a hunter.
