Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 754

Chapter 754: Chapter 251: Fire Researcher, Yu Yong’s Threat!

Buzz.

A deep buzzing suddenly exploded in the room, like a thousand insects flapping their wings at once, accompanied by some unnatural energy fluctuation that made the eardrums tremble.

The figure that was hunched on the sofa just a second ago now instantly teleported to the wall without warning. As his body collided with the cold wall, it made a dull “thud” sound, but he showed no reaction at all.

The black eyes with pinpoint pupils locked on fiercely, exuding a chill that didn’t belong to anything living.

Then, an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

The blood vessels on the whites of his eyes spread like a spider web, and nail-sized black spiders crawled out from the edges of the eye sockets. Their fuzzy black legs clung to the pale whites, their abdomens dragging thin gray silk, quickly crawling along his cheeks.

Some crawled into his darkened ear canal, some stopped on his cracked lips, and even a few climbed along his protruding cheekbones toward the sunken eye sockets, as if wanting to burrow back into his skull.

Within just three to five seconds, thousands of black spiders poured out endlessly from the collar, sleeves, and pants legs, covering his body completely like a black tide.

The figure’s body began to twitch and twist unnaturally, with bones emitting a “creaking” sound before collapsing suddenly.

It didn’t fall normally; rather, it seemed all the skeletal support was withdrawn, turning into a pile of flesh wrapped in clothing, from which countless spiders crawled out and spread outwards.

The previously somewhat clean room was instantly covered by a thick carpet of spiders, a black mass extending to the horizon.

Countless spiders piled up and climbed over one another, producing a dense “rustling” sound, like innumerable tiny footsteps moving on the floor, walls, and ceiling.

The cobwebs in the corners grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the table and chair legs were instantly wrapped in sticky spider silk. Even through the Happiness Alloy, one could faintly smell a bizarre odor mixed with rot and spider venom.

Damn!

The scene in front of them was the ultimate nightmare for someone with a fear of clusters.

Just watching the writhing black ocean and hearing the all-pervasive crawling sound made one’s scalp tingle, the hairs on the back of their neck stand on end, and their stomach churn.

Yet, after having encountered innumerable Crab-men and been disgusted by the tentacles of the Demon Eye Sponge,

Cheng Ye had long trained his nerves. On the surface, he remained calm, but inside, waves of shock swirled.

“C35, is he the source that destroyed Firewood C35 Satellite City?”

“Exactly.” Yu Erlan’s gaze fell on the myriad spiders in the room, her tone carrying an almost undetectable chill, “More than just the Wanderer came over with the Void Mist, C35 slipped into Happiness City with you as well, hidden in the goods Li Changfeng delivered to you.”

“What!” Cheng Ye’s heart trembled.

He hadn’t expected the infection source he feared most to be just a step away from him.

Even more so, Long and the militia who guarded the goods had slept one night leaning on the supplies, wasn’t it equivalent to having a face-to-face encounter with this lethal infection source?

“Is its essence these spiders?” he forcibly suppressed his shock and asked.

“No, its essence is only one, codenamed ‘Ghost Shadow Spider’.”

Yu Erlan shook her head gently, her eyes growing somber, “These little spiders you see now, each corresponds to a human life, all transformed from the dead ordinary people of C35 Satellite City. Releasing these spiders, it’s provoking not just you, but our entire research center.”

“Provoking me?” Cheng Ye was slightly stunned.

Unlike the Undetermined Fox, who shivered at the sight of Yu Erlan, this C35 was terrifyingly arrogant, no wonder even the Firewood Shelter City couldn’t capture it.

But how did Happiness City discover it?

Various doubts swirled in his mind, but Yu Erlan didn’t give C35 another chance to provoke them, lightly pressing a button on her wrist device.

Bzz—

A piercing high-frequency vibrating sound echoed instantly in the room.

Meanwhile, the lighting structure on the ceiling suddenly lit up, and a strong beam of light exploded.

The black spiders covering the space reacted as if encountering a nemesis, vanishing into thin strands of shadow under the light’s touch.

Like a retreating tide, the spiders receded faster than they appeared, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only one black spider near the display screen.

It wasn’t large, about the size of a human fist, yet its back bore a vividly detailed human face, staring at the two with a malicious glare.

“Yu Yong, you may be a researcher, but you’re still dabbling in such petty tricks today.”

Yu Erlan sneered, her tone filled with disdain.

As soon as she spoke, the fist-sized black spider convulsed, transforming back into the hunched figure.

He wasn’t particularly tall, about 1.7 meters, and if one overlooked the bizarre state of his eyes and the darkened complexion, he looked just like a downtrodden scavenger.

“Yu Erlan, if you want what I have, you’ll have to exchange it for something equivalent! Otherwise, don’t even think of getting anything!” Yu Yong’s voice was hoarse and dry, laced with malice.

“Is that so?” Yu Erlan raised an eyebrow noncommittally, stepping back slightly to make space:

“Inspector Cheng, interrogating infected bodies is your specialty. The reason you were brought here today is to test how you can extract the information we need from the Extraordinary Mother Source.”
