Chapter 1090: You Can Talk Nonsense, But You Really Shouldnt Eat Anything Randomly
āNo, quite the oppositeā¦ā The Mother Spider not only didnāt get angry at Ling Moās interruption, but instead showed a strange expression. āI was the one who ate itā¦ā
āUghā¦ā As soon as these words were spoken, dry retching could be heard from the darknessā¦
āYou really areā¦ desperate to the point of eating anythingā¦ā Ling Moās mouth twitched as he forced out a response.
āHow should I put itā¦ Back then, although I was trapped at home, it wasnāt to the point where Iād starve to death, nor did I need to eat the spiders I raised myself just to survive. The reason I did it was entirely because my mental state had completely collapsed. My neighborā¦ the one who killed the Zombie at my door, he might have been the only other living person in the whole building besides me. Now heās gone too, and I was the only one left here. But unlike him, even when it was dead silent outside, I couldnāt muster the courage to leave the house. I didnāt even dare to open the door, let alone search for hope outside alone. But at the same time, I was very clear in my heart: if I kept staying here, sooner or later Iād die slowly from hunger and thirstā¦ā
āThe thought that such a fate, worse than death, was about to befall me made me completely despairā¦ Maybe because of that, when I saw the second living thing in the whole room, the pressure in my heart suddenly exploded. The fear those Zombies brought me was too overwhelming. In front of them, I felt like nothing but an insect. So when I pinned down the Spider and stuffed it into my mouth, I finally regained a shred of what it felt like to be humanā¦ I wasnāt an insect-there were still creatures weaker than me in this worldā¦ That feeling was like desperately finding a bit of hope in the midst of despair. Convincing myself to hold on a little longer. After all, I was afraid, but I didnāt want to dieā¦ā At this point, Ling Mo basically understood: āSo, your variation started after you ate the Spider? And you just said your Spider seemed off because it had come into contact with that Zombieās blood, right?ā
āThatās rightā¦ It must have been attracted by the smell of blood, but the crack under the door was small, so it didnāt crawl out. It just absorbed some of the Zombie blood that seeped inside. Even if it hadnāt directly fed on it, the blood soaking it was probably enough to cause its infection, right? But in my state at the time, I didnāt think about any of this, nor did I even notice what was different about itā¦ā
After eating the Spider, the Mother Spider continued to shrink into the corner. In this empty building, with only corpses inside and Zombies outside, the Mother Spider didnāt move, just stared blankly out the windowā¦ When the sky gradually darkened, the variation suddenly occurred.
āAt first it was pain, then it turned into a numb itching. It felt like there were many Spiders crawling back and forth in my stomach and intestines. Especially my stomach. I felt as if that Spider had come back to life and was treating my body as food. It was gnawing at me from the inside, bit by bit. And that itching sensation felt as if it was caused by the digestive fluid the Spider had injected into meā¦ā āAt that moment, I suddenly sobered upā¦ If I was going to die anyway, Iād rather be killed outright by a Zombie than be hollowed out from the inside by a Spider. And the sensation was so real, nothing like an illusion. Every passing second, the emptiness inside me grew stronger, and after ten seconds, my whole abdominal cavity felt completely hollow. Then, I began to feel something newā¦ā
Hunger!
The Mother Spider was utterly starving!
It began to detect the scent of blood in the air with greater sensitivity, and a strong craving surged incessantly in its heart. At first, he could barely resist, but when hunger even began to replace fear, he finally wavered.
āI used to be terrified of that corpse, so scared I couldnāt even think about her. But then, I couldnāt help but keep looking at her, and her bloodās scent filled my nose. I held out for half the night, then, as dawn broke, I finally dashed to the doorway and opened the doorā¦ā
āYou know? Most of that blood had already coagulated; much of it was stuck to the floor and couldnāt be scraped up. After Iād sucked up all I could, I started licking the floorā¦ In the end, aside from the corpse, there wasnāt a single drop of blood left. Only then did I finally snap out of it. But afterwards, this didnāt go away-instead, it became more and more severe. I thought about dying, but I couldnāt do itā¦ My body began to change slowly. At first my belly swelled, but later, I could really feel it-there really was a Spider inside meā¦ā
āIf this Spider wanted to grow, it needed me to drink bloodā¦ But at that point, I also discovered a benefit. I used to be very weak, but after I drained that Zombieās blood, my strength began to surge. Later, when I couldnāt bear it anymore, I grabbed a kitchen knife and went outsideā¦ā
āAnd you know the rest.ā The Mother Spider looked at Ling Mo and said, āThe Spider inside me grew larger and larger, until it finally fused completely with my body. Now the Spider is it, and itās me. We can no longer be separated.ā
āNo wonder you drank Zombie blood but didnāt get infected by the virusā¦ Turns out the main viral load was taken by that Spider. But as a side effect, you ended up being influenced by it and turned into a Human-headed Spiderā¦ā Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully.
A complicated look flashed in the Mother Spiderās eyes, and he gave a weird laugh: āThatās right, thatās what happened. So, donāt you think itās pretty impressive that Iām still alive?ā
āTskā¦ So after all this, youāre trying to play the sympathy card? If thatās the case, I advise you to give up early. I donāt have that kind of pointless sympathy.ā Ling Mo interrupted expressionlessly. Having a tough life? As if anyone else had it easy! Just think: if the situation were suddenly reversed right now, this Mother Spider would definitely have no qualms about treating them all as food.
āSo, you insist on fighting? Thereās no room for negotiation?ā The Mother Spiderās expression changed, and his human head, growing from the belly of the Spider, made every shift in expression look especially grotesque. But as he spoke, there was a hint of submission in his tone.
This actually took Ling Mo by surpriseā¦
