Chapter 121: Let me go!
The crisp sound of something landing was getting closer.
It made the already tense guards immediately more nervous.
The searchlights swept through the darkness below constantly.
The rifles were raised, also searching for the source of the sound.
But the searchlights scanned the area below, yet there was no sign of anyone.
Even the usual swarms of mosquitoes and moths around the searchlights were nowhere to be seen today.
It was eerily empty.
But the 'tap-tap-tap' sound continued, getting closer and clearer.
The more they couldn't see anything, the more anxious everyone became.
Their faces were grim, cold sweat dripping down.
Just as everyone was looking down to search for the source.
"Ah~, help, help me!"
Suddenly, a painful cry echoed from the tower beside them.
Everyone was startled and immediately looked up.
A giant spider was crawling up the tower, its sword-like front legs piercing through a man's chest, its grotesque mouth opened, biting off half of his head in front of everyone.
The body impaled on the front leg immediately went limp.
There were no signs of life.
Everyone's eyes widened, looking in disbelief at the scene in front of them.
How could this be?
How could there be such a large spider?
"Fire! Don't just stand there!" someone shouted.
Everyone hurriedly unlocked their safeties and began aiming at the monster above.
The spider took a bite, crushing the searchlight on the tower.
Instantly, that side of the area fell into darkness.
In the darkness, the giant spider's back started oozing a black substance, spreading out like melting ink.
It quickly covered the tower and the outer walls.
Bang bang bang~!
Gunshots rang out, bullets fired at the advancing black tide.
Thud thud thud~!
The sound of bullets piercing through echoed.
The front wave of spiders was riddled with holes.
"They're spiders! The bullets can kill them!" someone shouted.
But the next second, bang~! The fallen spider suddenly exploded, releasing thick yellow smoke that spread quickly.
The nearby guards covered their mouths and noses, coughing violently, falling to their knees.
Then, they were engulfed by the spider swarm and disappeared.
"Ah~!"
"They're spiders! Damn it, they're spiders!"
"Run! These things are poisonous when killed!"
"Keep firing! Anyone who runs, I'll kill them myself."
"Fuck you! Stay behind and die, then."
Chaos broke out on the walls.
Thick smoke began to spread, and those who remained were one by one swallowed by the spider swarm.
More people began to flee, fighting with those blocking their path behind them.
They started shooting at each other, killing one another.
The guards' infighting sped up the spider's assault.
The black swarm of spiders flowed over the walls like a flood, killing all the guards and continuing toward the next wall.
The spider queen followed behind, her hideous mouth spitting out a human head.
She shot webs at the fleeing crowd in the distance.
Trapping them in place, she quickly climbed over, spinning webs and hanging them on the wall.
......
Panic spread quickly through the prison.
Even those who didn't know what was happening began looking around, no longer thinking of fighting.
They tried to escape or find a place to hide first.
The whole prison was in chaos.
The supply lines and transportation came to an immediate halt.
No one was moving bullets or gasoline up to the walls anymore; they just followed the crowd, running aimlessly.
The front wall was still being defended.
But everyone was becoming more and more anxious, constantly looking back at the chaos behind them.
They wanted to figure out what exactly had happened.
Chen Jinlong's face also turned grim.
"Damn useless trash, you can't even defend the walls."
You held off the dense skeleton monsters at the front, but the back walls, you couldn't even defend them.
A bunch of total wastes.
Bang bang~!
Chen Jinlong fired two shots, killing a man trying to climb down from the wall, cursing, "Keep shooting, anyone who dares to run, I'll be the first to kill them."
In the prison, Chen Jinlong had enough authority to intimidate people.
With one shout, everyone returned to their positions and resumed firing.
But in the back, the chaos only grew worse, and the sound of crawling became louder, filling the air with a heavy pressure.
Thud thud~!
Below the wall.
A group of tall skeletons had reached the gate.
Carrying fire axes, they started chopping at the iron gate, the sound of violent hammering echoed.
"Quick, gasoline, burn these monsters!" someone shouted.
But no one from behind responded.
He turned around abruptly and found that most of the people had already run away, even Chen Jinlong was gone.
Looking around again, he saw that a swarm of spiders was rapidly spreading in their direction.
"Shit~!"
The man cursed, quickly fired a few shots at the spiders nearby, and stumbled as he rushed downstairs.
In the blink of an eye, the top of the wall was empty, leaving only a large number of black spiders.
The gate below had not yet been breached.
The skeletons had already climbed up the wall and opened the gate from the inside.
A large number of skeletons poured into the prison.
There were still large metal fences behind the walls.
But against the vast number of skeletons, the fences were pushed to the ground.
The skeleton swarm charged at the fleeing humans inside.
Taking the walls was difficult.
But on flat ground, the skeletons had a clear advantage, and at least the humans were the ones running.
Soon, the sounds of fighting in the prison stopped.
Dense swarms of skeletons filled the open spaces, surrounding several buildings.
......
Outside the prison.
Xiaoxiao floated back from afar and said, "Uncle, all those bad people have hidden inside the building, and the skeletons have surrounded them."
"All of them went in?" Wu Heng was still a little uneasy.
After all, bullets were still deadly.
A couple of stray bullets from some corner, and it would be all over for him.
"Yes, they've all gone in."
"Let me take a look!" Wu Heng had Xiaoxiao merge into his body, sharing her vision.
He immediately saw the situation inside the prison.
The entire prison had been completely taken over by skeletons.
There were actually only a few survivors left as Xiaoxiao had mentioned.
Most of them had probably been killed by the skeletons in the chaos.
Wu Heng carefully observed it twice.
After confirming there was no danger, he led Li Yanhong, Barson, Bagdong, and the skeletons directly into the prison within the walls.
The ground was littered with corpses.
Wu Heng's order had been to kill any human with weapons, and these dead people outside were likely Chen Jinlong's thugs.
The prison was much larger than he had imagined.
He could see a basketball court, an empty open space, and several buildings.
If you didn't know it was a prison, you might have thought it was some kind of factory compound.
The interior of the prison was eerily silent.
Not a sound could be heard.
"Xiaoxiao, go find that bad guy who was shouting insults from the wall." Wu Heng said.
Chen Jinlong probably wasn't dead yet.
They hadn't seen his corpse on the way in.
"Oh, okay!" Xiaoxiao flew off immediately.
Soon, she flew back again.
Pointing to a building in the distance, "That big bad guy is in that house, fourth floor, in one of the rooms."
"How many people?"
"Four people, him and three women." Xiaoxiao said.
Wu Heng nodded and ordered, "Avoid the windows, let's go over."
......
On the fourth floor, at the door.
The skeletons crowded the hallway.
From the other side came the voice of a man, "The auto repair guys, I know it's you. We're all survivors, why push things to the extreme?"
Wu Heng glanced at Li Yanhong, who replied, "You were the first to push things to the extreme. We're just retaliating."
"Don't say that, I admit I was wrong this time. I apologize. Let me go, give me a way out!" the voice continued from inside the room.
"Your apology is a bit late." Li Yanhong kept speaking.
Wu Heng made a hand gesture to the side.
Barson crouched forward, pulling out a wire, and started working on the lock.
He had a bronze key.
But in this situation, he didn't plan to use it.
"We're all survivors, not many of us are left. Let me go, and you'll be my saviors from now on."
The voice inside the room continued.
After a while, Barson crouched back and returned.
Indicating that he couldn't open it.
Wu Heng lost his patience and said to the crouching Big Guy and Second Big Guy, "Break it down."
The two giant skeletons clad in iron armor stood in the hallway.
They crouched, preparing to charge.
Then they suddenly rushed forward.
Bang~! They slammed into the iron door.
The sturdy iron door immediately dented with a massive indentation.
Second Big Guy followed up with another charge, bang, causing an even larger dent.
"Damn it! You're really going all out, huh? I've rigged the whole building with explosives, we can all die together if you want!" The voice inside cursed loudly.
Li Yanhong looked at Wu Heng in terror, but the latter shook his head slightly.
He had already had Xiaoxiao check.
Inside the room, there were only Chen Jinlong and three women.
There were definitely no explosives, plus their attack had been so sudden that they wouldn't have had time to plant any.
Thud thud thud!
Big Guy and Second Big Guy took turns slamming into the security door.
The immense force caused the entire building to shake continuously.
The dents in the door grew larger and it became more and more damaged.
Thud~!
The security door was finally busted open, and Big Guy rushed into the room.
Bang bang~!
Two gunshots rang out.
Chen Jinlong fired two shots with a shotgun.
The bullets hit Big Guy's iron armor, leaving a honeycomb of dents.
The force of the shotgun still made Big Guy stagger back a few steps, falling to the ground.
But soon, Big Guy stood up again.
Inside the room, Chen Jinlong glanced at the sea of skeletons blocking the entrance.
"Damn it, I'll come back and kill you all one day."
He cursed, grabbing a woman crouching in the corner with her hands over her head.
He choked the woman with one hand and jumped out of the window.
The woman's face was filled with terror.
In mid-air, Chen Jinlong's body began to change, his skin reddening and filling with blood vessels, excess fat burning away, revealing sharply defined muscles.
Bang~!
Chen Jinlong's body curled as he landed on the woman.
Then, he staggered to his feet and limped away.
"He really awakened his ability!"
Wu Heng was a little surprised.
