  The longsword was held in front of his chest, reducing the radius of the slash to increase the power of the attack. Although she could not see any hope, Su did not plan to give up. She, who was born in the wilderness, had long since become instinctive when fighting against fate.

  Seeing this scene, Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat.

  Chapter 46 - Latent

  Zero took out a fragment grenade.

  "Don't tell me you want to do something stupid?" Ben, who was watching the fire from the other side of the river, raised his greyish eyebrows when he saw Zero take out the grenade.

  "She is a true warrior. She can die on the battlefield, but she should not die from betrayal." With a zero elbow force, he broke through the fence of the exhaust passage. His small feet hooked onto the partition, but he was hanging upside down towards the vent.

  Ben coldly harrumphed and said, "Boring Knight's Spirit" before he turned around, preparing to run for his life.

  Su was already prepared to fight to the death, but before she knew it, a strange sound came from the ceiling behind him, followed by a mercenary who just left Theon's office by himself. At this time, Su saw that after taking off his right eye patch, it was actually a strange gold color.

  Beautiful eyes.

  Under these circumstances, she couldn't help but have this thought.

  "Come here!" Roar!

  Su raised her spirit, the sword in her hand swept horizontally, just barely releasing wind pressure cutter, blocking the incoming spiders.

  Using his uninjured leg to stomp on the ground, Su flew backwards as if he had jumped. When she reached Zero's head, she stretched out her long, slender arms.

  With one hand, he grabbed her and lifted her up, lifting Su up from the ground. Su's hand was lifted into the exhaust pipe by zero. She stretched out her hand and pressed down, borrowing the force to withdraw. Upon entering and seeing Ben, she was slightly taken aback.

  "Let's go!" With a cold shout, Zero threw the grenade towards the spider swarm on the ground. He exerted force on his abdomen and then narrowed the exhaust pipe.

  The three of them did not dare to hesitate and immediately started crawling. In less than a second or two, a loud bang came from behind him and the grenade exploded.

  The hand grenades created by the expanding hot air caused an explosion, and at the same time, countless pieces of the grenade flew in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of rock spider that had barged into the laboratory were shattered into pieces. The shock wave from the explosion hit the ceiling, crushing and distorting the exhaust pipe where they had been standing. If the three of them had walked slower, the transformed wall of tube would have already pierced into their bodies.

  At the other exit, Ben cursed, lifted the fence and jumped out. Then, Zero also jumped down and caught the injured Su. The three of them climbed up to the outer wall through the window, and then slid down the outside pipe.

  After reaching the ground, Su's lower abdomen and thighs were still bleeding profusely. Ye Zichen carried her on his back when he saw that she couldn't move properly. Su did not object, she just held the long sword upside down, allowing Zero to carry her on his back. Feeling the two huge lumps of softness behind his back, Su Ming's heart wavered slightly. She then focused her attention. Under the leadership of an experienced hunter, she moved through the ruins of the school district, shaking off the spiders that had followed him out of the research building.

  An underground parking lot became a temporary resting place for the three of them. This place was still within the vicinity of the North District. The entrance to the car park had already collapsed, the broken steel bars and large pieces of concrete had become a natural barrier, at least the three of them didn't have to worry about being silently ambushed by rock spider.

  He was originally resting with his eyes closed while leaning on a slightly tilted stone pillar. As for Zero, he tore off the tight clothes on Su's thighs and arms and tied them tightly to his wound to contract his muscles to help Su stop the bleeding. After a moment of rest, Su was already able to use his own strength to close the wound, but he was still unable to do any intense movements.

  "Why did you save me?" Su asked.

  He was betrayed by his companions and saved by strangers. It wasn't ridiculous, but it was beyond her expectations. Su did not believe that Zero would unconditionally save her. Life in the wilderness had already told her countless of times that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

  He didn't answer anything, but in fact, he couldn't say it either. He only knew that the moment he saw Su fighting alone, he felt that this figure was extremely similar to himself. When he woke up in a hibernation chamber, he was facing a completely new world. To survive, they had to fight. One person, one gun, facing the entire world!

  Maybe because he felt that Su and him were like a lone wolf, he could not help but cherish each other, hence he impulsively made a rare opportunity. Otherwise, in Ben's opinion, they could just stand by and watch without doing anything. After the rock spider kills Su, they might even be able to jump over to find the home camp of these monsters.

  Seeing that, Su suddenly lowered his body, her hand inadvertently resting on her chest, her legs bent and tightened, exposing her fiery figure. She asked Zero, "Do you want my body? You saved me once, so I can sleep with you for the night. But after that, I'll do everything I can to kill you. "Of course, as long as you have the ability, you can sleep however long you want."

  "I didn't save you for the sake of wasting your strength."

  "What a weirdo." Su retracted her tempting posture and took out her sword. She took out a white silk from her leg armor and carefully wiped it.

  This one-handed sword had a wide blade at the front and back, and the blade was covered in fine fish scales. The so-called Hundred Refinement Steel was to repeatedly refine the longsword after heating it, in order to reduce the impurities in the steel, make its structure denser, refine the grains, and thus increase the sword's hardness and toughness.

  "It's a good sword." Zero looked at the sword and said seriously.

  Su nodded: "This is my father's sword, he personally forged it."

  "Your sword-arts?"

  "Yes, my father taught me. However, he is already dead. He was sold, even his sword. " While silently wiping the sword, Su said: "I searched for it for a long time, and in the end I spent a sum of money. I even slept for a few nights with the person who kept the sword, and finally got it back. I will use this sword to chop off the head of the man who betrayed my father. "

  The air was somewhat heavy, and Zero did not think that there was actually such a story on this one-handed sword.

  After Su finished speaking, she also felt that it was strange. All these years, in order to survive, she had learned to be patient and not tell anyone else about her life. But now, for some reason, she revealed a small part of it to Zero. Perhaps it was because Zero had saved her, or perhaps it was because someone was especially weak when they were injured and was always willing to confide in others.

  "Hey, I seem to like you a little. Why don't you do it with me after we get back? I promise I won't kill you afterwards. " Su changed her tone.

  Zero shook his head, people who lived in the wilderness could not live peacefully, and it was even more so for mercenaries like Zero and Su. No one knew how much longer they could live, so when they could be happy, they would always be unwilling to let it go. But Zero didn't want to sleep with her.'s body was indeed very attractive, her body which had been exercising for a long time had a very high flexibility and flexibility. Her performance on the bed definitely made men go crazy.

  But Su was like a mother mantis, she didn't want to be eaten by her after being happy.

  Ben, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and accidentally grabbed onto the body of the Colt. Ling and Su also instinctively sensed danger, it was an indescribable intuition. Although they couldn't see anything, they knew that somet
hing had arrived.

  Zero jumped up and the M500 revolver came between his hands. Su leaned on him, she lowered her one-handed sword, and her perky buttocks pressed tightly against Zero's body. Even with the danger signal, Zero could still feel the alluring grace and vitality of the body behind him.

  In this mixed sense of danger and stimulation, the prickling sensation of the zero skin suddenly intensified.

  Zero suddenly pushed Su away, and the two of them suddenly separated. On the ground, a deep ravine suddenly appeared, as if something had plowed through it. But there was nothing between them.

  Ben's pupils constricted as he yelled, "Be careful, it's the latent!"

  Chapter 47 - Spider Queen

  As a being one rank higher than the rock spider, the Spider latent possessed even more outstanding concealing abilities. Their shells, like some optical material, can play an invisible role by diffusing light around them. Especially in such an environment like the underground parking lot, latent was able to display his capabilities to the fullest.

  This monster was the target of Ben's kill, but now the position of the prey and the hunter seemed to be reversed.

  The moment Su was pushed away, she could clearly feel a strong wind sweeping past her back. She quickly rolled across the ground and leaned against an abandoned car. When she turned around, she saw a deep gully in the ground where she had been standing.

  Zero M500 and Ben's Colt opened fire at the same time, but the bullet seemed to have hit empty air. Nothing was built except to shatter the windshield of the car behind.

  Su breathed in lightly before exhaling slowly again. Her body began to heat up as she used a special breathing technique to move her body to its maximum capacity. After a few breaths, Su suddenly unleashed her strength, and her single-handed sword fiercely slashed towards zero.

  As the one-handed sword came slashing over, Su Yun could clearly feel Su's killing intent. However, most of the killing intent was directed at the space behind him. Zero immediately turned in Su's direction, and at the same time dodging the trajectory of the sword, he also shot towards the front.

  A sword chime and a gunshot rang out at almost the same time.

  Su's sword cut through the air, but countless of sparks flew. As for Zero's bullets, it shot out a line of blood in the air. Seeing this, Ben did not hesitate to fire several shots into the empty space.

  The violent sound of the Colt's gunfire accompanied the smell of gunpowder as it resounded through the entire underground parking lot. From the light of the fire, a huge spider the size of a car appeared. Its entire body was pitch black, and its thick and powerful legs were covered with black thorns. Circles of brown veined the belly of the spider, the end of which was spiked like a bee's.

  This was the Spider latent. Su's sword left a white mark on its hard shell, while Zero and Ben's bullets left a few bloody holes on the monster's body. The injured latent let out a high-frequency cry that could not be heard by human ears. It retracted its left leg and instantly ejected it back out, heavily hitting Su's sword.

  That huge force immediately bounced Su away.

  "Abdomen!" The Colt in his hands continuously shot out, attracting the latent's attention.

  Without hesitation, Zero rushed towards the giant spider. While the latent was being attracted by Ben's firepower, he threw himself onto the ground, and the remaining kinetic energy brought Ben into the giant spider's body.

  latent's abdomen was right in front of him, he raised his spear and shot. Under the effect of more than 3000 joules, the bullet shot into the giant spider's body, moving forward and crushing all the tissues within latent's body before breaking out from its shell.

  Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

  The giant spider was in so much pain that its body began to move. It wanted to use its powerful limbs to nail Zero to death, but it couldn't hide under its abdomen. It couldn't be safer.

  While latent's limbs were moving chaotically, Su threw herself forward with the sword in her hand. She raised her sword horizontally and placed her other hand on the hilt. Her two arms executed a direct stab and pierced into the giant spider's head. Su screamed, both hands holding onto the sword hilt tightly.

  When the long sword left latent's body, most of his head immediately split open. The stinky liquid sprayed across Su's face, but the giant spider ultimately laid down powerlessly and did not move anymore.

  The spider drilled its way out from under the spider's belly, its face also sprayed with the spider's liquid. Looking at Su He and Su, old drunkard shook his head and muttered, "The young people these days are really crazy."

  But no matter what, they had finally brought down the latent. He had originally planned to take out the shell of the giant spider, but the latent had already found them. If he were to encounter a large number of rock spider in this semi-sealed underground parking lot, he would definitely die.

  Carrying the Colt in his hand, Su who was bleeding profusely from his injuries due to heavy exercise on his shoulder, the three of them left the underground parking lot.

  "Maybe we should retreat." Zero said.

  The M500 bullets needed to be customized. After the previous battle, there weren't many bullets left. Other than that, he only had the fragment grenade and an alloy dagger on him. With this kind of firepower, they would probably only be able to kill one or two more latent s. As for the lack of heavy firepower's suppression like the Six Barrel Air Machine Gun, Zero did not dare to imagine what would happen to the large spider swarm.

  As for Su and Ben, the former's injuries had not yet healed and their strength had been greatly reduced. Other than the high level Agility enhancement, the latter only had a Colt. The Colt's power was still above the zero M500. The power of this long-barreled sniper rifle at a close distance was already comparable to a handgun. However, Colt could not exceed the functional limit of the sniper rifle, so no matter how powerful a single shot was, it would not be able to satisfy the pressure of the firepower.

  It could be said that the group of three was more than enough to deal a few blows, but they lacked the power or the firepower to kill in an area. This decided them that if they met with a large number of rock spider, their situation would be even worse than Lafite and the others.

  He had no objection to the proposal of zero. Thus, the three of them changed their route and headed towards the edge of University City. As the trio walked along the broken and rugged road, Ben's route was clearly carefully chosen. The places they passed by were all relatively spacious areas, and there were multiple paths leading in all directions. This greatly reduced the disadvantage of being surrounded and attacked by rock spider.

  After leaving the underground parking lot, they did not encounter a single rock spider. It was as if the intense light during the day prevented these creatures that preferred darkness from appearing. However, the closer they got to the edge of the ruins, the more obvious the prickling sensation on their skin became.

  This made him feel as if he had jumped into a trap.

  Ben sensed the invisible danger signal, but he didn't know where it came from. rock spider that did not appear gave the three of them a lot of pressure instead. Even this kind of veteran hunter had a straight face, while Zero and Su were even more silent.

  Right now, if they retreated back into the University City's ruins, they would instead be in danger of being surrounded. Therefore, they could only hope to leave the ruins before this dangerous signal turned into reality. After turning a corner, they would reach the end of the road, which was the school's track and field. And Zero knew that after they climbed over the wall on the other side of the track and field, they left the vicinity of the University City.

  The track and field's environment was open and if there were any unusual movements, with the eyesight of the few of them, they would definitely be able to discover it first. As a result, there was no danger of being ambushed. This was also the best retreat point that he could think of. The three of them directly went throu
gh the gate and strode into the track and field.

  It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the big fireball was still hot in the sky. As they walked on it, the hot air passed through the soles of their 5 cm thick gum shoes and reached to the soles of their feet, then spread throughout their entire body.

  Su Yun quickly took a look around the track and field. There were already no longer any spectators at all in the high stand, and who knew how many years it would be before a new audience would appear in the stands. Suddenly, something seemed to be moving in her line of sight. The silver lines on the zero golden right eye immediately formed into a circle, and its field of vision immediately became closer.

  With this ability which was called free vision, he clearly saw that in the southwest corner, a rock spider had climbed up from under the empty seat. Then a second, a third …

  More and more rock spider appeared from the viewing gallery. Their dense numbers filled the viewing stand. latent, who was no longer concealing himself, pushed his relatives aside and jumped down from the stage one by one. They waved their strong legs and made threatening gestures, but they didn't pounce on them, which was quite puzzling.

  Very soon, Zero knew why. That was because the main character was not one of them.

  The prickling sensation on his skin was indescribably strong, but suddenly, it disappeared completely. However, in the next second, Zero felt as if all of the hair on his body had stood up, and his heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

  An incomparable sense of danger enveloped his entire body, and at the same time, he looked towards the other side of the track and field.

  There was a lounge there. The moment Zero saw it, the door and the wall of the lounge instantly shattered. Sawdust and rubble flew out a few meters, stirring up a cloud of dust. In the midst of the dust and smoke, the silhouette of a small mountain slowly appeared. When it came out of the smoke, its ferocious figure was filled with zero eyes.
