End of the Sky (Multiverse's End)

Chapter 55



As night fell, the street lights in Prosperity Town were on as usual, because the townspeople hid in the shopping mall for refuge, so only the streets in the whole town could still see the light.

The street lamps cast some light, but more areas were still occupied by darkness. Giant spiders crawled from across the street, shuttled between darkness and light, and their eight legs appeared and disappeared.

The rustling sound became more and more clear, and there was a dead silence in the shopping mall. A few screams could be vaguely heard above the town, presumably it was the unlucky ghost who didn't go to the shopping mall and hid in a place he thought was safe.

Russell looked at the giant spiders constantly emerging from the dark corner, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tighten. The number was immeasurable, but he was sure that it was definitely more than the population of the town.

Quantity over four digits!

Seeing the giant spiders pouring towards the shopping center like a flood, Russell immediately picked up the M4A1 beside him, and explained to Mike: "If the situation is not good, remember to take Ashley and find a closed corner. You know your habits very well, so it shouldn't be a problem for you."

"No, I have this to protect Ashley." Mike took out a few bottles of perfume from his backpack. Spiders have an unusually developed sense of smell, and perfume can confuse them.

Russell took a bottle of perfume and stuffed it into his pocket, nodded with Ashley, and walked towards the first floor.

Many townspeople, like Russell, are saying goodbye to their families briefly, and they are going to fight against spiders on the first line. The older ones prayed and then stood at the window, raising their weapons and aiming downstairs.

Prosperity Town is very small and cannot tolerate the coexistence of two top predators. This rule is still valid when it is scaled up to the whole world!

Everyone held the guns in their hands, and the sweat slipped down to their eyes, and they all forgot to wipe them off. The suppressed sobs gradually rose, and the sad atmosphere lingered in the shopping mall. Everyone wanted to protect their families. Judging from the current situation, the human side lacked firepower, and the odds of winning were very slim.

"My God! There are so many giant spiders, what do they eat, I'm sure there is another biosphere underground."

"Impossible. They must be surface organisms, but they have mutated. If there is really an independent ecological circle underground, they will be killed by various viruses and bacteria as soon as they come to the surface."

"Mutation!? Ridiculous remarks, can you explain how they grow so big, where does the energy come from?"

In the sad and silent atmosphere, two old professors quarreled with each other. They debated their academic ideas, which soon escalated into quarrels and physical conflicts.

The surrounding researchers hurried forward to separate the two. The two old men were dragged away by their arms, and they did not forget to kick each other through the air.

"You wait, when I prove my theory, I will announce it to the entire academic community and call on everyone to boycott you idiot!"

"Old man, that's exactly what I'm going to say."

After being dragged away by the crowd, an old professor straightened his clothes, took out his checkbook and shouted at the crowd, "I bid $1,000 per spider, and the price of live spiders doubles. I want as many as I have."

"You scum who blasphemes science, you actually link academics with money, I despise you..." Another old professor seemed to be irritated, and also took out his checkbook, his neck flushed and shouted to the stunned crowd: "Everyone listen So, that poor man is not worthy of studying science, I will add another $500 to his offer, and I want all the spiders."

"Then I'll double it!"

"I triple!"

"Four times!"

"Follow!"

"..."

Click! Swish————

There was a series of sounds of gun bolts being pulled, and the style of the shopping center changed, making the air a bit hotter!

The sobbing stopped abruptly, the women changed their faces in a second, wiped away their tears, and gave their husbands a look, and the children showed their parents a gesture of encouragement.

The man with the gun had no expression on his face, and took out a red cloth belt from his trouser pocket and tied it around his head.

The melancholy facial features instantly became extremely tough, and the sadness in the eyes was no longer, replaced by determination and indifference.

Even the dogs who had their tails tucked back began to grin their teeth at this moment, their eyes showed wolf-like ferocity, and they let out low whining sounds from their throats.

At the corner of the wall, more than a dozen cats squatted quietly, their tails sweeping back and forth on the ground, their pupils flickered, their sharp claws popped out of the meat balls, and they even stuck out their tongues to lick them.

People without guns were secretly distressed. They were looking for weapons in the shopping mall. A young man approached the owner of the gun shop and whispered: "You just said that this revolver is sold at half price. Is it still counting?"

Gun shop owner: "Sorry, you misidentified the person, I am his younger brother."

The morale of the army is greatly boosted!

No, the morale is like a rainbow!

...

Russell came to the first floor. There was an empty parking lot in front of the main entrance of the shopping center. The first line of defense was residents' cars, and the last line was police cars.

The police are currently on the first line of defense. They have fewer than fifty people, and the enemy is an endless wave of spiders.

Russell carried the M4A1 on the car and waited quietly for the spiders to approach. Shooting on level ground was more effective than condescending strafing. As long as you hold down the tip of the gun, you can basically shoot without missing a shot, especially with a powerful rifle, it is not surprising that a single shot can penetrate the body of several spiders.

The police chief glanced at Russell, cast admiring glances, and said to his subordinates: "When the spider gets closer to 50 meters before shooting, remember to keep the gun steady and don't shoot in bursts!"

"Sir, there are too many spiders, and we will run out of ammunition soon."

The police chief was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "So I said, don't fire in bursts."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of murderous residents rushed out of the shopping center and came here with a whimper, almost pushing him out of the battle line.

Russell looked dazed, and said in his heart that they are indeed the people of the United States who love to die the most. Although they like to confront the president and preach that aliens invade the earth all day long, their ability to accept new things is really strong, so they eased up so quickly. coming.

The policeman smacked his tongue, held on to the police cap that was almost squeezed out, and said to Russell: "Prosperity Town is really tough, you are the bravest people I have ever seen."

Russell blinked: "Isn't the people of the American Empire like this?"

"What, why don't I know?"

"Wow woof!"

Fadou Bruce sprinted to Russell's feet, barking at the approaching spider in the gap between the two cars.

Russell didn't know what happened, so he kicked it away: "Stupid dog, go back quickly, your few catties of meat are not enough for a spider to suffocate."

The giant spider was running on eight legs, at a very fast speed, approaching the shopping center and speeding up again. The police chief measured the approximate distance and fired the first shot, splashing a cloud of green mist in the spider swarm.

Deafening gunshots rang out one after another, clusters of flames flickered suddenly, and a transparent wall was built in front of the spider wave. Big balls of green juice shot out, and the spiders screamed and fell down, being harvested in pieces like straw.

In order to save ammunition, the police chief asked everyone to fire intermittently. The police were well-trained and strictly followed orders. Although the residents of the town couldn't do it, most of their weapons were pistols and shotguns, and the speed at which they consumed bullets was within an acceptable range.

The spider's head is in the chest cavity, called the cephalothorax, and moves forward on four pairs of legs. With their small heads, they don't understand the meaning of death, so they don't hesitate to face the hail of bullets.

This was brave, and directly caused the green juice to spill all over the ground, and the spider's corpses piled up into a small slope, making shooting more difficult.

"Don't waste bullets, retreat to the second line of defense!"

During the retreat, the firepower in front of the shopping center dropped, and the spiders roared and charged, and the waves were even faster than before. After entering modern warfare, human beings no longer advocate group charging, and it is strongly forbidden to catch bullets with their faces, but spiders don't understand that even if their companions are headshot, they still charge forward shoulder to shoulder across the corpse.

Soon, another small slope accumulated.

There is only the last line of defense left. Although the police chief is unwilling, he can only order to continue to retreat.

Russell: "How long until the army arrives?"

"Soon, they said it would be here."

Russell: "..."

There are many interpretations of the word "immediately", and the concept is very vague. According to the law, reinforcements basically appear in the first second after the event ends.
