Chapter 1064: The Demon in the Underground Cavern

“How meticulous are you when you observe…” Spider Man bit his lip in secret, his fingernails digging deep into his palm.

Indeed, every single one of his fingers was deathly pale…

So, the only living person in the entire town wasn’t the one who moved away all those cigarettes and alcohol…

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines.

“Brother-in-law, you mean…” Yuwen Xuan stepped forward and asked, “There’s… someone else here?”

Zhang Xincheng frowned and glanced at Spider Man, saying, “So what he just said was to make us lower our guard after killing him, giving his companions a chance, right?”

“That’s not all…” Ling Mo didn’t rush to answer, but crouched in front of Spider Man, speaking with a hint of mockery, “I’m afraid the reason you volunteered for killing people is a lie too, isn’t it? Since we’ve fought, you should have some idea of my abilities. In front of a mental ability superhuman, don’t try to tell such obvious lies. You’ll be seen through…”

“Understand?” Spider Man opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile.

He still wasn’t sure what kind of people he’d run into-where did this understanding come from?

And yet, this young man could act so shamelessly… He’d thrown zombies and mutation beasts in front of him, and now he could still calmly mention he was a mental ability superhuman…

Before you accuse others of lying, why not look at yourself!

But under Ling Mo’s oppressive gaze, Spider Man still chose silence.

For some reason, as soon as he met Ling Mo’s eyes, he felt his inner fear spiraling out of control…

This situation… was very bad…

“Still not talking? Seems you really need to suffer a bit… Oh, and don’t blame me for not warning you- in our hands, if you want to die, that’s not possible. For example, the one about to make a move, he used to specialize in this field-he’s a real professional…” Ling Mo said expressionlessly, tilting his head to the side, revealing Ye Kai walking toward him from behind.

With a closely-cropped crew cut and a fierce glare, Ye Kai drew his knife, wiping the sweat off his brow in silence… This captain could really lie with a straight face! “Specialized in this field”? Since when was this a profession? If he really was an expert in this, then things would be really bad…

“Damn… Don’t look at me like that! I used to be a programmer!” Passing by Mu Chen and Yuwen Xuan, Ye Kai finally couldn’t take the pressure and growled in a low voice.

“What?!”

“I should be asking you what you mean… Why am I the one who’s scared to death?” Ye Kai said angrily.

“Well, only someone like me looks like a real white-collar worker…” Yuwen Xuan tugged at his collar and chuckled.

“No, no… you’re the last one who looks like it.”

“Don’t insult white-collar workers. You’re clearly the kind who fantasizes in a psychiatric hospital about being one…”

The three of them grumbled, but their eyes all involuntarily turned to Spider Man.

Seeing the three of them itching for action, and recalling Ling Mo’s previous words, Spider Man began to shiver.

He quickly weighed his options in his mind and said, “I’ll talk… I’ll tell you everything!”

“I… no, we. The reason we want to kill you is mainly for two reasons… First, to feed the Spiders… Don’t be fooled by their numbers-each one actually doesn’t eat much. If they remain dormant after feeding, they can last for over a month! The reason this town’s been emptied is mostly because of their largest Mother Spider… When the Mother Spider undergoes evolution and Reproduction, her appetite becomes terrifying. Besides… many corpses were actually moved and stored by us…” Spider Man clenched his palm, thinking as he spoke.

“Mother Spider?” Ling Mo asked.

“Yes. We call it the Mother Spider… Unlike the Male Spider on me, it’s far more formidable. My kind of Male Spider evolved from the slightly smaller big Spiders, and there aren’t many of us… But every time a Male Spider mates with the Mother Spider, it gets eaten. Then she lays eggs. One type of egg, if fed to the big Spiders, can evolve into new Male Spiders, which we then continue to cultivate…” Spider Man explained in detail. 𝐫Ａℕó𝐛ÊŚ

“If that’s the case… doesn’t that mean you’re all being controlled by the Mother Spider? Damn, who do you think you’re fooling?” Ye Kai raised his knife threateningly.

Spider Man quickly said, “O-of course not… The Mother Spider is actually controlled by our Boss. So, strictly speaking, we’re controlled by the Boss. There’s a strong connection between the Male Spiders and the Mother Spider. I’m not sure how it works, but the Boss can give orders through the Male Spiders…”

“So, your Boss is the biggest Spider Man? If he turned you into this, why are you still helping him? And… just to feed those Spiders, you killed one of us. Serves you right!” Gu Shuangshuang stood up angrily. But judging from how she wouldn’t get close, her disgust at Spider Man’s appearance was obvious…

“Heh… Scold all you want, but you’re wrong-I don’t hate the Boss. As you can see, I’m just an ordinary person. Surviving this long is already not easy…” Spider Man sounded like he’d come to accept his fate.

Ye Kai was about to explode again, but Mu Chen held him back.

Spider Man continued, “But there’s another important reason we decided to attack you… You have a Helicopter, and maybe weapons. You came to such a deserted place and stayed here without leaving-hard not to make us suspicious… Especially the Helicopter- even if most people could find one, they couldn’t fly it, right? So… I suspect some of you are ex-military, and you came here for…”

“For what?” Zhang Xincheng asked.

Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, “You mean… the granary?”

There were two warehouses nearby. The reason Ling Mo directly mentioned the granary was also for a reason. If it were the armory, why would this guy be empty-handed…

But to think the granary had already been discovered made Ling Mo frown immediately.

Then again, a group of Spider Men with man-eating Spiders all over them probably didn’t have many members.

But a granary could support millions of people…

On the other hand, the reserve granary wasn’t as hidden as the armory… Although many didn’t know the exact location, those living nearby would have some idea. Even knowing the precise spot wasn’t so unusual.

Thinking of this, Ling Mo calmed down again.

Spider Man immediately curled his lips, “So you really did come for the granary…”

“The order to attack came from your Boss, right?” Ling Mo asked. “Knowing we’re not weak, you wouldn’t dare act alone.”

“Hmph… That’s right. I’m responsible for guarding Dawn Town. Most of it’s been cleared out, but it’s still a town, with some remnants. After discovering you, I watched you for a day, learned everything about you, and then reported to the Boss. The Boss said… always strike first. Even if you weren’t after the granary, just staying here was a risk. Besides, food delivered to our door-why not…” Spider Man said.

“Shut up! Where’s your Boss?” Ling Mo asked coldly.

Spider Man looked at the bottle in Ling Mo’s hand, smiling, “As long as there’s a Male Spider, the Mother Spider can find it… You’re smart for not killing it right away. But now that you know, it’s too late. If I don’t return tonight, the Boss will know something’s wrong… Unless, you escape tonight…”

“Escape?” Ling Mo stood up, his tone icy, “You misunderstood… I’m asking because… I’m going to kill him.”

Bang!

With a dull thud, Spider Man, who still wanted to say something, fell limply to the ground with his One-Eye wide open…

A trickle of blood seeped from the center of his brow…
