Chapter 54 Dive into the lair
He withdrew more than 300 meters in one breath. After confirming that no servant spiders were chasing him out, Qi Lin simply found a scrapped car with rusty and sat on the hood.
Qi Lin counted his equipment again, and there was a box of c4 clay explosives, two Nepalese hunting knives seized from the leader of the man in black, a multi-purpose engineer shovel, a military hand crossbow with a four-fold optical scope, a twelve poisoned alloy crossbow arrows, a Colt A15 assault rifle with a grenade launcher, five magazines with 30 5.56mm caliber Nato standard bullets each, and a military stimulant given to him by Bryce.
As for other extra weapons and ammunition, they were buried by Qi Lin in several places that only he knew along the way. Once there was insufficient ammunition, he could fight and retreat, and obtain equipment buried there in advance after arriving at any supply point.
Under the gray-yellow camouflage cloak, Qi Lin was also wearing a tactical vest, crossbow, saber and other equipment that he had made from the man in black, hanging on it, which was convenient to carry and could be reached at once when he was needed.
As for the man in black, although he left a few pieces at the supply point, he was not wearing them.
The weight of the heavy bulletproof vest of the four-layer Kevlar material, the front chest, back and armpits of the bulletproof ceramic piece is nearly ten kilograms. Wearing such a heavy bulletproof vest will not only consume a lot of Qi Lin's physical strength, but also the hard ceramic piece will also limit his movements to a certain extent, so Qi Lin abandoned it.
Anyway, as long as you lose your heart or head, with his physique, it is not a big problem to shoot one by one. On the contrary, once your flexibility is reduced after wearing a thick bulletproof vest, it will be even more fatal.
The food Qi Lin brought out from Thunder City has almost eaten up. Now there are only a few large pieces of roasted bloodthirsty rat meat in his backpack, as well as several cans found in the ruins of supermarkets and shops in the old era.
The bloodthirsty rat's meat tastes bad, with a rough meat and a sour taste. The canned foods have more or less exceeded the shelf life indicated on it for at least one year - but in Qi Lin's eyes, these things are enough as long as they can be used to maintain satiety and physical strength.
...
After waiting for about an hour, Qi Lin felt that the "alarm" caused when he stepped into the Asathin spider nest had been eliminated, so he tiptoed to the university campus that had become a spider nest.
The way of seizing spiders in Asathin's crypt is to rely on the vibration of the ground. As for the sensing distance, Qi Lin just approached the building that became a "nest" and then took a spider silk before retreating to the school gate. Then the attack from the servant spider was attracted, so the sensing distance should not be too far.
As for the strength, it is difficult to judge this. Qi Lin used his normal pace before walking, and because of his vigilance, he deliberately took it lighter. It can be seen that the Assasin crypt spider should still be very sensitive to vibration.
This time, Qi Lin chose not to walk through the main gate, but to an outside of a wall that was more than 100 meters away from the gate. The outside of this wall was once covered with ivy, but now there are only a few yellowed withered vines still wrapped around the iron railings on the wall.
With a gentle touch, the fragile vines turned into powder. Qi Lin climbed on the rusty iron railing with both hands, and slightly tapped his toes, and skillfully climbed over the wall and fell silently into the campus.
Here, about fifty meters away from the nearest building wrapped in spider silk, Qi Lin planned to test the specific reaction range of Asathin spider and make further decisions, so he stomped on the ground gently.
The power used for this kick was not very strong, at most it was equivalent to a person weighing 50 kilograms jumping up and falling down. After stomping the kick, Qi Lin immediately retreated to the place where he turned in, his body tightly against the wall, and he did not move.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Until ten minutes passed, no servant spider appeared.
"Hu——" Qi Lin gave a breath. It seemed that the perception of these spiders was not as perverted as he imagined.
At this time, Qi Lin took out the things he had just taken from a dusty shelves in an old supermarket - two largest extended versions of sanitary napkins.
Although this sanitary napkin is a special product for women, it does not mean that it only has one purpose. When there was a long time when combat supplies were scarce, sometimes insoles were not supplied, and soldiers would choose to buy two sanitary napkins as insoles. They were not only soft and comfortable, but also had good sweat absorption performance.
It is not just a sanitary napkin. In desert areas, in order not to let sand leak into the barrel and cause failure, people often put the condom on the muzzle and use it as a dust cover, which is also very effective - this is the real use of everything.
However, Qi Lin did not use these two sanitary napkins to cushion the shoes, but first brushed the dirt on the soles of the shoes, then tore off the glue strip on the back of the sanitary napkins, and pasted the two sanitary napkins on the soles.
Since the Assassin crypt spider relies on footsteps to sense prey, Qi Lin put a layer of sanitary napkins under the original hard rubber sole that was used to absorb shock like cotton pads, which could completely reduce his footsteps to the lightest.
Bite the dagger in his mouth, Qi Lin held a crossbow in one hand and an engineer shovel in the other, and quietly approached the nearest teaching building covered with spider silk.
Through the gray-white spider silk, you can vaguely see the slogan written in one-person-sized gilded font on the exterior wall of the teaching building - "Apply what you have learned" - but the following half of the sentence is not clear and is completely wrapped in the spider silk.
Sure enough, this time, no servant spider appeared until Qi Lin approached the corner of the teaching building, which made him feel a little relieved.
A slight "rustling" sounded from one side, and Qi Lin immediately fixed his movements, standing in place like a wooden man. At this time, a small group of servants suddenly walked out from behind the building.
These servant spiders, similar to those described in the intelligence brain data, all have a basketball-sized torso. Behind the torso is a spindle-shaped abdomen, which makes it easier for them to pass through the crypt. Each of the eight sharp arthropods is more than half a meter long. Such a large spider, in the old days, would definitely attract the exclamation of a large group of biologists, but in the wasteland, it was just a common thing.
Radiation has completely changed most of the creatures on Earth, even humans, and are no exception.
These servant spiders did not come to attack Qi Lin. According to the attack methods of Asathin's crypt spiders, they would only launch a sudden attack when they approached their prey. These spiders crawled over from less than ten meters ahead of Qi Lin, as if they were not aware of it at all. Not far away, there was a "invader" who was still moving.
The servant spider has no self-awareness, and everything is controlled by the spider mother and the king spider using pheromone. As long as Qi Lin does not make an abnormal sound, even if he stands in front of the servant spider, he will be regarded as a lifeless stone. This is because the spider mother and the king spider can only feel the vibration coming from themselves or the vicinity of the servant spider, and then make a judgment and give orders. However, if there is no vibration coming from the servant spider, they will naturally know nothing.
These servant spiders, like puppets, can only mechanically complete the tasks assigned to them by the spider mother or the king spider, and have a completely careless attitude towards other things.
Many of the servant spiders crawled past Qi Lin's eyes were wearing the corpses of several bloodthirsty rats on their arthropods. The bloodstains of these corpses have not dried up yet. There is even a bloodthirsty rat whose abdomen has not died yet, and its body is still twitching and spasming.
Qi Lin immediately realized that this was a group of servant spiders who were hunting... and these bloodthirsty rats were part of their food. As long as they followed these servant spiders, they could find the location of the king spider who commanded them!
Qi Lin was not in a hurry to go to the laboratory. The laboratory building was located in the middle of three "nests". Before that, he needed to collect some information related to Asathin King Spider to confirm that the operation was safe.
