Chapter 56 Retreating to the Shopping Center
On the square in front of the shopping center, the first two lines of defense were captured by the spider sea tactics, and they followed each other, advancing all the way to the last line of defense.
A defensive line of police cars.
Because of the lack of ammunition, the gunshots were much less than before. The policeman was stern, and the situation was urgent. It was time to show his cards.
A black police officer received the order, turned around and ran towards the side entrance of the shopping mall, but drove a freight truck over after a while. It's not that they want to crush the spiders to death, but there are more than a dozen gasoline cans in the back of the car, collected from shopping malls.
The black policeman drove his car in the direction of the spider wave, pushed the accelerator to death and jumped out of the car. A jumping spider jumped out of the spider wave and rushed towards the black policeman.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The M4A1 fired three bursts, and the giant jumping spider was blown up in the air. The black policeman was covered in sticky juice, and he was so frightened that he rolled and ran all the way.
"Good marksmanship!"
The head of the police gave Russell a thumbs up. He didn't have time to talk too much. He raised his gun and aimed at the gasoline tank on the car. It was time for him to perform.
The truck drove into the spider tide, crushed several giant spiders to death, and then stopped due to resistance. The surging spiders did not realize the danger, and crawled quickly to submerge the truck.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a few shots, the police chief put down his rifle in embarrassment, the gasoline barrel was punctured, and gasoline flowed from the hole, but the expected explosion did not occur.
Russell took out the M9 pistol, and with the help of the dim light, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the 9MM bullet was fired, rubbing the edge of the gasoline barrel, causing a cluster of sparks.
A single spark can cause fatal disaster!
The flame ignited, and the gasoline flowing out was swept by the strong wind, and the entire truck was ignited into a torch.
A dozen gasoline barrels were shrouded in flames, but... still did not explode!
It takes time to warm up. The probability of blowing up a gasoline tank with one shot is too low. It only appears in movies. It is a scene of pretending to be handsome. In reality, unless tracer bullets are used, it is difficult.
The appearance of the big torch stopped the charge of the spiders. Several spiders lying on the truck were burnt and ran around because they were covered with gasoline. Out of the instinct of creatures to fear flames, many spiders retreated back chatteringly, and the scene was chaotic.
But for unknown reasons, this chaos lasted for a very short time. Almost at the same time, the spiders froze and began to bypass the truck, continuing to attack the last line of defense.
boom! ! !
Oil and gas mixed, and a half-empty oil drum exploded first, and the flames rushed into the sky, blasting the surrounding oil drums and scattering them in all directions.
These gasoline barrels were damaged by the explosion, and gasoline poured out all over the floor immediately. With a little spark, they immediately ignited a raging fire.
In the open space in front of the shopping center, yellow and white flames spread out, billowing black smoke rose, and the scorching air waves burned people's faces with pain.
The spiders screamed in the sea of flames, and fled around waving their claws. The crackling popping beans were heard endlessly, and the air was filled with the smell of meat.
The sharp screams and raging fire waves can be called hell on earth!
boom! boom! boom----
Air was mixed into the oil drum, and it expanded violently and exploded. Torches soared into the sky one by one, forming an insurmountable sea of flames in the square.
This wave of kills killed more spiders than the previous two lines of defense, and effectively stopped the spiders from moving forward. Russell and the police chief slapped each other with joy in their eyes. At least they were safe before the flames stopped.
However, it didn't take long for them to be proud, another unbelievable scene happened. The giant spiders stopped in front of the sea of flames, but the spiders behind rushed forward, pushing one by one towards the sea of flames.
Like water splashing on the reefs on the coast, the spiders used their bodies to block the contact between gasoline and air, extinguishing the flames little by little.
A large puff of black smoke floated into the air, and one after another, spiders covered in flames jumped out of the sea of flames, and after that, more and more spiders rushed over.
"Fcuk!"
Russell swears, this is not in line with common sense at all, even if the spiders obey the leader, it is not possible that even the fear of flames can be overcome by creatures.
"Siht, back into the mall, quick! Now! Immediately!"
The police leader regained his senses from the shock, and said to the stunned crowd that their firepower could not form an effective stop, and they could only die if they continued to stay.
Russell held on to the law and strode into the shopping mall. The situation was unfavorable. He didn't know when the army would arrive. He had to do something.
The police and residents withdrew into the shopping center one after another. The head of the police lowered the iron shutter door, and the surrounding crowd moved heavy objects to block the door.
Everyone came to the second floor and continued to shoot down the window. The window of the shopping center is very narrow, only the width of one person's shoulders, and ordinary people can climb in, but the body structure of spiders is difficult to do.
If Russell hadn't read the original book, he would even suspect that when the mayor, White, was building the shopping mall, he was preparing it for today.
The iron door was blocked by heavy objects, and the spiders were jammed outside the door, unable to get in. They crawled all over the floor one by one, waving their claws towards the window and scratching at random.
Samantha held a shotgun and pulled the trigger to blow away the spiders outside the window. While she was reloading, Russell stepped up and shot back a giant ball spider. The ear-exploding sound was accompanied by the splash of juice, and the giant ball spider fell to the ground with a snap, and the viscous dark green liquid dripped all over the ground.
【Ding! 】
[The host contacts the giant ball spider of the plot character, which triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】
Russell couldn't even remember how many times he heard the system's notification tone tonight, and he was very happy to count the number of draws, but it was too exciting, and his heart couldn't bear it.
He continued to shoot downwards, and the lungs of the spiders were above the abdomen, hitting the head, chest and abdomen, causing them serious injuries or immediate death.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
Slow and powerful steps came from outside the shopping center, and under the moonlight, a gigantic figure revealed a ferocious figure.
This is an incomparably huge giant tarantula, or a tarantula. The species doesn't matter, what matters is that this thing is ridiculously big.
Ordinary giant spiders, no matter whether they are ball spiders or jumping spiders, have a body no bigger than a bathtub, and with legs that can hug a person. But this giant tarantula is comparable to a truck, covered in bristles all over its body, with extremely thick feet, and its monster-level body is daunting.
Just by looking at its body, you can tell that the giant tarantula is so powerful that the gates of the shopping center can't stop it. Maybe it can't get in, but it can open a passage and let other spiders in.
It must be killed!
There are two spiders that Russell has the deepest impression on the 'Eight-legged Monster', the giant tarantula in front of him, and the giant female ball spider in the cave.
The giant tarantula is the largest among all the giant spiders that have appeared, and its powerful force can easily overturn a bus. Considering that Prosperity Town is mostly made of wooden structures, if there is no shopping center built with reinforced concrete, this giant wolf alone Spiders can sweep everything.
The giant female ball spider in the cave has slender limbs, and the visual impact on people is not as strong as that of the giant tarantula. But spiders are a matrilineal society, and female ball spiders have the right to turn their cards around. Its strength lies in its reproduction, which is an arsenal.
Moreover, it is not difficult to judge by comparing the red pattern on the abdomen of the giant female ball spider. It is the famous black widow.
Hmm...there are so many black widows in this world!
