Chapter 273

"I want to go in, don't stop me." The man who was stopped struggled desperately and hit the guard directly.

There was chaos outside, and the guard was hit by the chaotic crowd and failed to avoid the attack, allowing the man to temporarily break free. The next second, the man disappeared on the spot. The guard's mind instantly tightened a string, quickly pressed the alarm on his chest, and shouted at the top of his voice: "A person who escaped the inspection suddenly disappeared."

The gate of the reserve was closed at the fastest speed. The personnel guarding on both sides of the gate held their weapons tightly, always paying attention to the entrance. When they saw an illusory figure suddenly appear, they turned on the baton with the maximum power in their hands and poked it directly. After a scream, the man's figure slowly emerged and fell to the ground.

In order to avoid bringing things that should not be brought into the base, the detection equipment of the reserve has been upgraded many times, but not all of them have been announced to the public. It just so happens that someone bumped into it.

Even if you have a similar ability to be invisible, don't think about escaping the detection of technology.

"There is a spider." Someone around exclaimed. The man who fell to the ground had been electrocuted, but small spiders the size of a fingernail crawled out of his clothes and were crawling around at a high speed.

"Everyone, disperse!" The patrol team shouted while taking out their weapons. They had sufficient experience in dealing with creatures that sneaked into the protected area. Animals are basically small and flexible, and plants are difficult to find. To deal with these small spiders, they directly took out the high-power spray guns on their waists and sprayed violent flames directly at the spiders on the ground.

The aroma of roasted spiders gradually emerged, and many people touched the corners of their mouths. Unfortunately, these creatures that tried to sneak in needed to be taken back for inspection.

The patrol team put away the spray guns when they saw that the spiders were motionless. Their previous experience allowed them to check again with a knife. They really found two spiders pretending to be dead. They were imprisoned in a special cage, and the remaining spider corpses were packed and sent to the laboratory together.

As for the man who was electrocuted, he naturally needed to be taken back for interrogation. They lifted the other party's clothes and sprayed a lot of insect repellent. No spiders were found left, so they tied the man up with a rope and took him away.

Captain Yuan, who was nearby, saw the whole process, but felt that something was wrong, so he stopped them and said, "Wait, let's check his whole body."

After the spider was dealt with, the people around had come closer to watch the fun, but when they heard Captain Yuan speak, they immediately retreated a few meters away.

Those who have survived to this day know that they should control their curiosity.

The patrolman held the spray gun tightly in one hand, and picked up the wooden stick with a kitchen knife tied to the front handed by the onlookers with the other hand, and pulled away to cut the man's clothes. The thick clothes were cut open to reveal black iron sheets, and everyone was not surprised, after all, everyone wanted to wear iron armor to enhance defense.

The kitchen knife touched the iron sheet and made a crisp sound, but it failed to move the iron sheet. The patrolman knocked it violently again and found that there was a kind of mucus between the iron sheet and the skin, and the situation became more and more wrong.

Captain Yuan looked around, found a pot of hot water, and poured it on the man. After another strong push, the stickiness was indeed reduced. Captain Yuan continued to pour out the hot water. The existence under the iron sheet was finally not enough. It suddenly jumped out from inside, was hit directly by a shot, and fell to the ground with a thud.

It was a spider as big as a human face, but particularly flat.

The guess came true, and everyone who knew what it meant looked ugly.

The wisdom of animals after evolution is generally difficult to compare with humans. They still rely more on instinct to act. Therefore, most of the dangerous animals and plants carried by the returning personnel were accidentally touched.

And in the accident in front of us, first there were humans with invisible abilities, then a group of small spiders were released to attract attention, and there was a big spider hiding under the cover of iron sheets. This level of wisdom often means an extremely difficult enemy. The wolf king, queen bee, monkey king and willow trees distributed around the city are all such difficult to deal with. The spiders in front of us are just soldiers sent out, and the most difficult ones are still to come.

The wolves that like to hunt were dealt with by Captain Yuan when he brought people over. The queen bee prefers to eat honey. The monkey king and the willow tree are not very interested in humans. This group of newly appeared spiders are planning to sneak into the reserve. It seems that they regard humans as prey again.

The onlookers often go out to search for supplies. Seeing the various situations that have happened at this time, someone was surprised and said: "The number of times I have seen spiders and spider webs outside recently seems to have increased."

"I have seen a lot too!"

Everyone talked about it. Some people have begun to count the probability of all outgoing teams seeing spiders, and try to infer the distribution and core of spiders.

Tonight, many people in the reserve can't sleep.

Qi Tao woke up in a daze and found that he was lying on the ground. His first reaction was to reach out and touch his butt. There was no touch of iron on his hand, and he didn't feel the horrible spider. There was only unstoppable pain, which made Qi Tao cry all of a sudden.

I can continue to live again.

The interrogator asked, "Qi Tao, do you know why you are here?"

Before waking Qi Tao up, the reserve found that this person was not among the people registered at the base, and questioned the team that returned with Qi Tao.

This team has been established in the reserve for a long time. According to what they said, they met unexpectedly when they went out to search for supplies. They said they were from another reserve and accidentally got separated from their own team. Fortunately, they accidentally awakened their abilities. Let him hide for a day, hoping to follow them back to the reserve.

Qi Tao's ability is really rare. He can hide himself in the surrounding environment like a chameleon, but it can only last for one minute.

Maybe it was because of the time limit that he took advantage of the chaos to approach the gate of the reserve, but he didn't expect to be noticed that something was wrong in advance, and he didn't know that even if his color changed, the gate of the base would be able to detect his presence.

This ability is indeed relatively rare, so this team brought Qi Tao with them. Anyway, the reserve will ask clearly when they return. How could they have imagined that such a big trouble would happen later.

"I know, I'm telling you, I'll tell you everything!" Qi Tao was so excited that he got up from the ground with difficulty. When he looked up and saw the clothes the interrogator was wearing, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground again. The pain made him grin, but he didn't dare to scream, and he even didn't dare to raise his head.

He sat directly on the ground and started talking.

Qi Tao said that he had used his ability to change color to survive outside for a while, but color change was not a panacea. His presence could be revealed by sound and smell. After avoiding several dangers, he bumped into a spider web. After being caught by the spider, he originally thought he was dead, but the spider did not eat him. Instead, it drove him nearby, hid on his body, and drove him into the protected area.

"I really didn't mean to bring the spider in. That big spider kept slapping me. Every time I wanted to speak out, the thorns on my legs would stick out. I was afraid of death, so I could only listen to them." Qi Tao cried, his voice getting louder and louder, trying his best to put aside his responsibilities.

But the interrogator sitting opposite was unmoved and asked in a calm tone: "Spiders can't talk, how do you communicate with them?"

"There is a spider that can write. It is very smart. It feels like a human being." Qi Tao couldn't help but tremble.

"What kind of spider?"

"As big as a human, it should be a female spider with a particularly bulging belly. All the spiders obeyed her, and a large group of them gathered around her. She would eat all the food they caught first." Qi Tao gestured to the female spider first. The size of it, and then pointed at the belly, and finally raised its head carefully and added, "What she loves to eat most is human beings."

Those bloody scenes gave him nightmares for several nights, and he was unable to produce any sense of resistance.

People watching the interrogation outside the interrogation room and outside the room were silent, with solemn expressions. This was the pregnant Spider Queen. Ordinary spiders lay about a hundred eggs each time, and large spiders may lay thousands of eggs. It is not clear how many eggs a spider as big as a human can lay after evolution, but if these eggs are laid and hatched, the consequences will be Unimaginable.

These spider eggs must be dealt with before they hatch.

Put the map of the city in front of Qi Tao and ask him to circle the approximate location of the Spider Queen.

Qi Tao carefully identified it, circled a place on it, and marked the approximate route from there to the reserve. Afterwards, the interrogator asked Qi Tao about various details about the Spider Queen. Qi Tao told everything he could, constantly thinking about the original memory, trying to win leniency.

"Where did you first encounter a spider?"

"Ah?" Qi Tao said blankly.

"A pregnant spider queen will be very vigilant. Those spiders will not let you approach the spider queen on your own. Where did you first meet the spider, and then was it caught and given to the spider queen?"

The interrogator observed Qi Tao carefully. He wanted to know the reason why the Spider Queen chose him. Was it just because of his ability to change color and become invisible?

The memory that he wanted to forget could not help but appear in Qi Tao's mind. He tried not to show any guilt. He pointed at a random place on the map and said randomly: "The first time I met a spider was here. He escaped with the ability to become invisible, but was eventually caught by the spider.”

The interrogator silently recorded it without asking for details. Qi Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone involved in the interrogation could tell that Qi Tao had something to hide, but they could leave the question until later.

"Where did you stay before you met the spider? Have you never encountered a team searching for survivors before?" I want to know more about how he is alive until now.

Qi Tao suddenly became excited after hearing this question. He pointed to an area on the map and said: "My home is in this community. After the apocalypse came, I never dared to leave the community. In the end, I was thrown out. He must be If you want to kill me, everyone who is thrown out with me will die. Police comrades, you have to make the decision for me."

The interrogator who saw the area Qi Tao pointed to was stunned, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

"You said you lived in this community before, are you sure you are right?" The interrogator's tone fluctuated.

"Yes, it's right here." Qi Tao noticed something was wrong.

Everyone except Qi Tao looked at the small patch of ground on the map and felt the wonder of the world. A breakthrough came to the place they had been thinking about for a long time.

The community Qi Tao refers to is the mysterious "forbidden zone".
