Chapter 105 The farm is attacked; even the Black Emperor needs to recharge!
Outside the deserted streets of the old town, several figures were running frantically.
Behind them, a rustling sound came.
Those spiders with baby heads clearly weren't going to let them go, and kept chasing after them.
Their terrifying numbers made them look like a black torrent bursting forth from a breached dam.
"Damn it!"
Klaus, running, couldn't help but glance back. Seeing the horrifying scene behind him, his scalp tingled instantly. "When are they going to stop chasing me?!"
Since escaping from the lab, those spiders have been like hyenas that have been starving for a long time, relentlessly chasing them all the way.
"You can call the police and let them deal with these guys."
Victor also glanced back at the terrifying swarm of spiders, but he wasn't as panicked as Klaus; instead, he had time to make jokes.
"If they were useful, the lab wouldn't have been built here!"
Klaus spoke breathlessly; the long journey had taken a heavy toll on his stamina, but he dared not slow down even a little.
"Alright, hurry up and run! Turn left up ahead, our car is parked to the north!"
Logan stared intently at a small alley not far ahead, where their car was parked.
The group of guys behind us are hot on our heels. If we keep relying on our legs, we'll eventually run out of energy. We'll have to drive away to have any chance of survival!
Everyone nodded and ran frantically into the alley.
The alley is so narrow that even a large vehicle cannot pass through, but fortunately, pedestrians can pass through without any problem.
Rumble!
They had barely entered the alley when a loud rumbling sound came from behind them.
The baby spiders chasing behind them also squeezed into the alley. Instantly, the ground trembled, and the tall buildings on both sides shook as if they were about to be pushed apart by the spiders. Bricks kept falling from the old buildings, almost hitting Logan and his friends.
Looking at the dilapidated high-rises on both sides, Logan's expression hardened. "Get out of here quickly! This place won't hold for much longer!"
McCain and his friends realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly hurried towards the other end of the alley.
Boom!
Countless monsters squeezed out of the alleyway. These guys had no sense of reason and only had Logan and his group of prey in their eyes. They seemed determined to catch up with them to the death.
After exiting the alley, Logan and the others dared not linger for a moment and continued their frantic run.
Drop drop drop.
Just then, McCain's communicator rang. He glanced down at the caller ID and immediately frowned.
"It's a call from the farm."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Although they continued to run away, their eyes all turned to McCa.
This is a really bad time for a call.
Logan, however, felt a little worried. After all, everyone on the farm knew that McCa was on a mission and wouldn't call him unless it was something extremely urgent.
But what could be so important that they had to make this call?
At that moment, McCa also answered the call, and his expression instantly turned serious.
Logan noticed his expression and immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Something's happened.
McCa's expression was grave, and he seemed lost in thought. After a long while, he said heavily, "The farm has been attacked by a joint raid by the disciplinary squad. The situation is probably not good now."
"What?!"
Logan was shocked upon hearing this, and his mind went blank for a moment.
The professor, Caliban, and Laura are still on the farm.
Logan's heart pounded, and his eyes were filled with worry.
Marcus and the others were also slightly taken aback, their eyes widening as they stared at McCa in disbelief.
Nowadays, the farm is like their home, and the people on the farm are like their family.
At this moment, the house was besieged and the family members were in danger, which made everyone present panic.
"We need to hurry back and provide support!"
Logan's eyes were serious, and he spoke resolutely through gritted teeth.
He could ignore the farm, but the professor and the others absolutely could not get into trouble. At worst, he could take the professor and the others and continue their wanderings!
"But we need to shake off these tagalongs first!"
Klaus glanced back at the group of spiders behind him, his brows furrowed.
He wanted to rush back to the farm to rescue them, but these spiders were just too annoying!
boom!
Just as everyone was putting in all their effort to escape and return to the farm, a loud bang suddenly came from ahead.
Two grotesque monsters covered in bumps blocked their way. They stood side by side, their nauseatingly large bodies resembling two high walls, their eerie green eyes darting around, staring intently at them.
The writhing muscles and constantly opening and closing lumps on the body are psychologically unsettling to look at.
"They even chased after us!"
Victor recognized the two monsters as two of the ones from the high-rise detention area.
"Damn, these guys actually take a detour?!"
Klaus looked at the monster and couldn't help but complain; they had clearly underestimated the intelligence of these creatures.
With those two guys blocking their way, Logan and his group had no choice but to stop.
Looking at the monster not far away, Logan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the scene of the professor's attack kept flashing through his mind.
Over the years, his relationship with the professor had become one of both father and friend, and the thought of the professor possibly being in danger made Logan's anger uncontrollable.
"Tear him apart!"
Logan gritted his teeth, his voice almost bursting from his throat.
He's in a hurry to get back to the farm, and no one can stop him!
As soon as the voice fell, with a whoosh, a gleaming silver steel claw flashed out, its cold light suddenly appearing.
He raised his steel claws and walked toward the monster. Looking at this enemy who was far taller than himself, he showed no other expression, only the coldness in his eyes.
The monster seemed to sense the oppressive aura emanating from Logan, but it did not flee. Dozens of eyes on its head emitted a ghostly green light, staring intently at Logan as he strode towards it.
"roar!!"
It emitted a muffled roar from the mouth in the middle of its head, its muscles twitched violently, and its arms, which had been hanging down, suddenly rose up, its massive arms resembling a giant pendulum.
It swung its arm, and in an instant, the arm, like an iron hammer, slammed down on Logan with astonishing speed, producing bursts of sound as it pierced the air. The speed was so fast that the exact location of the arm could not be seen, only a blurry afterimage could be seen.
Despite the strong wind rushing towards him, Logan showed no signs of dying and unhesitatingly raised his claws to slash down.
puff!
The sound of flesh being cut was clearly heard, followed by a severed limb being flung away and slamming into the wall next to the stairs.
boom!
The wall instantly burst open with a large hole, and the severed limbs emitted green blood, corroding most of the stones on the ground of the small building.
"roar!!!"
The pain of having its arm severed caused all of the monster's eyes to contort, its muscles and lumps to writhe, and it emitted a low growl.
The short limbs were incredibly smooth, and green blood dripped continuously, instantly corroding most of the ground.
Logan's eyes darkened, and he suddenly leaped up, plunging his steel claws into the monster's chest as it roared in pain.
"roar!!"
The stinging pain made the monster roar angrily. Just as it was about to fight back, it suddenly found itself floating in the air.
Logan placed his hands on the monster's chest, ignoring the splattering green blood corroding his flesh, and gritted his teeth as he forcefully lifted the monster upwards.
This monster, which was much larger than him, was lifted above Logan's head. Judging from its size, it looked like a person lifting a car!
The monster's blood dripped continuously, completely corroding the surrounding ground with green blood, instantly leaving it riddled with holes.
A significant amount of blood dripped onto Logan's body, piercing his clothes and causing his flesh to emit plumes of white smoke, while excruciating pain gripped his heart.
"ah!!"
Logan roared and pulled his hands outwards.
Tear!
Amidst the monster's terrified and painful roars, Logan ripped its massive body apart with brute force.
Blood gushed out instantly, the corrosive blood splashing all over Logan's body. In an instant, his clothes emitted puffs of white smoke and were completely corroded away in no time.
The liquid fell onto Logan, and his skin instantly ulcerated, with black wounds spreading out.
But the trauma did not last long and was quickly repaired by self-healing factors.
Logan gritted his teeth and flung the two halves of his body away with a heavy thud.
boom!
The monster, dead beyond any doubt, landed on the ground, causing a tremor.
After dealing with that one, Logan turned around without hesitation and pounced on the other one, his sharp steel claws tearing through the monster's flesh, unafraid of the corrosive liquid splashing onto him.
He had to hurry, or the shelter and the professor would be in danger!
Klaus was so shocked to see Logan single-handedly taking on two monsters that his mouth dropped open.
"Logan is really fierce."
Klaus couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Only those of them with self-healing abilities would use such a reckless fighting style.
Just as he finished speaking, a rustling sound approached from behind.
When the group turned around, they saw that the swarm of spiders had caught up with them.
The swarming spiders sent chills down everyone's spines.
bang bang bang! ! !
Klaus almost instinctively raised his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation. Bullets sprayed out, raining down on the spider swarm.
Victor and the others immediately raised their guns and opened fire.
Intense gunfire erupted, and baby spiders fell one by one.
These things have low defense; bullets can easily penetrate their bodies, sometimes taking down two or even three with a single shot.
The problem is that there are just too many of them; they are so densely packed that it's impossible to breathe.
Those in front fell, and those behind stepped over the corpses and pounced again. Even though Victor and his men had used all their guns, it was still ineffective.
On the other side, McCa frowned, his hands pressed to the ground, gritting his teeth as he activated his ability. The next moment, his arm flashed with golden light.
But the golden light only flashed for a moment before quickly dimming.
McCa let out a sharp breath, sweat dripping from his forehead, looking utterly exhausted. He had expended too much energy earlier, and now he was running out of strength.
Just as he was about to grit his teeth and unleash his full power, Marcos quickly said, "Don't push yourself anymore, conserve your energy, we can hold on a little longer!"
As he spoke, he kept his eyes fixed on the front, bullets flying from his gun.
Their conversation aroused suspicion in Victor, who was also firing his gun.
"Does your ability also need to be charged like the Black King's?"
He asked bluntly, seemingly very curious about McCa's exhaustion.
McCain, his face grim, glared at him. "Don't you know about the law of conservation of energy?"
The more powerful an ability is, the easier it is to become fatigued after using it.
Even he can't use his ability to alter the force field of surrounding objects very often.
Victor shrugged and stopped talking, focusing intently on firing his gun.
With so many spiders, they hardly need to aim. Here, even a blind person could take down a whole bunch of monsters by pulling the trigger.
There are just too many of them!
Click!
Just as the fighting was getting intense, Klaus's gun suddenly went out of service, emptying all the bullets in the magazine.
"Damn it, I'm out of bullets!"
Klaus panicked and instinctively reached for his magazine at his waist, but his hand found nothing.
He then realized that these rifles were ones they had picked up in the lab, and they had no spare magazines.
Immediately afterwards, Marcos and Victor also turned off their guns.
Victor's expression hardened, and he suddenly threw the rifle in his hand forward. Looking at the spiders, he revealed his sharp claws, his eyes flashing with a cold light, ready to fight to the death.
"This way, hurry up!"
Just then, Logan's voice came from behind.
By this time, he had completely dealt with the two monsters. His body was covered in a corrosive liquid that emitted puffs of white smoke as his flesh was constantly corroded and repaired.
Seeing this, the group no longer hesitated and turned to run towards Logan.
They were not far from where the vehicle was parked; once they got in, they would have a chance to shake off the swarm of spiders behind them!
During the frantic run, the communicator that bought the card rang again.
McCa took the call, his expression growing increasingly grave. He said, "It's John on the phone. The farm is in dire straits. They can't hold off the riot police's advance at all. The farm is about to fall!"
This time, they took most of the farm's elite troops with them. There aren't many combat-capable people left on the farm. If they don't go back to support them, losing the farm is a minor matter; they might all be imprisoned, and then it will be troublesome to rescue them!
The more than one hundred people on the farm might perish there!
Logan's expression turned serious. Thinking of the professor's precarious situation, and of Laura and Caliban, he became anxious.
McCain and the others clearly shared the same sentiment, with McCain's expression almost dripping with gloom, after all, the farm was his life's work!
"Quickly, find a way back to provide support!"
After saying that, McCain increased his speed even more and ran frantically toward the vehicle.
A few minutes later, the group found the pickup truck that had been covered with a large cloth earlier, got in and started the engine without saying a word.
Logan was about to step on the gas and speed off when he suddenly noticed a large number of spiders appearing ahead.
Not only in front, but also on both sides, swarms of spiders appeared, along with those that had been chasing them from behind. They were completely surrounded by spiders!
Such a scene sent chills down everyone's spine.
Klaus's eyes narrowed; the dense swarm of spiders almost made him vomit.
"Damn lab, just how many of these horrific things have they created?!"
At this moment, they were like people trapped on a deserted island, surrounded by spider-like "waves" that could kill them at any moment!
The spiders seemed to realize that Logan and his companions had nowhere to retreat. The baby heads growing from their backs kept grinning at people, their pale faces and eerie smiles sending chills down their spines.
"They weren't necessarily created in a lab; they might have multiplied from their eggs!"
Marcus looked at the spiders with a solemn expression, a sense of despair rising in his heart.
"Run them over!"
Victor was also terrified. The only thing he could think of was to push forward and break through the encirclement!
"Are you making a movie?"
Logan, sitting in the driver's seat, spoke with a grave expression, "With so much stuff, it'll jam the chassis, and then we'll have nowhere to escape!"
If they were to actually run them over, before they'd gone even five meters, those spiders would completely block their territory, trapping them inside the car. They'd be utterly helpless.
"Alright!"
McCain suddenly took a deep breath, slowly opened the car door, and stepped out of the car as if he had made up his mind.
"You all go back to the farm to help. Everyone in the shelter must be accounted for. I'll handle things here!"
He turned his head to speak to Logan in the driver's seat, then slowly bent down and placed his hands on the ground.
Logan looked at McCain with a complicated expression.
McCain raised too many questions for him, and he even felt that McCain was not a good person.
But this scene made him change his opinion of McCain slightly, and he even felt that what the strange man in the woods had said was just a ploy to sow discord.
After all, someone who voluntarily sacrifices himself for the farm and everyone else doesn't seem like a treacherous villain at all.
Peng!
At that moment, McCa gritted his teeth and used all the strength he had.
The next moment, his hands flashed with dazzling golden light, the light almost rivaling the sun and moon!
He suddenly plunged his hands into the ground.
The next moment, many thorns suddenly appeared on the road to the left.
Brush brush!
The sharp spikes pierced through the monsters on the ground, some even with several spiders' bodies pierced through them.
He moved the spikes to the left and right to open a passage, while constantly altering the geological structure of the road surface to prevent any spider from entering.
"Let's get going!"
McCa spoke to Logan and the others.
"McCarthy!"
Klaus, sitting in the back seat, panicked immediately. "Get in the car right now!"
McCa shook his head. If he stopped using his powers now, the spider swarm would flood the road again, and they wouldn't be able to go very far.
The only way to get them out safely is for him to stay here and hold the line!
Klaus wanted to say something more, but McCa urged, "Logan, drive!"
"You all need to get out of here and go back to support the farm. I can hold them off here and get out on my own, don't worry about me!"
He looked at Logan and the others with a determined gaze.
Logan didn't hesitate any longer. "Take care, see you at the farm."
After saying that, he stepped on the gas without hesitation, and the car sped off, heading wildly out of the city.
In the rearview mirror, the monsters still surged like a black tide, targeting McCain and swarming towards him in overwhelming numbers.
Boom!
Suddenly, huge spikes rose from the ground, sharp as spears, stabbing at the monster horde. All the monsters that tried to get close to McCa were blocked by the spear-like spikes.
The next moment, the sharp spikes suddenly began to twist and turn, weaving through the spider swarm like long snakes.
Hundreds of spiked spears pierced through spider after spider with precision, green blood splattering everywhere, and the spider corpses fell one by one.
Even so, their numbers were still terrifying; stepping over the corpses of their companions, they surged toward McCain relentlessly...
