Wen Na took the lead and explored the way for us at the front. I followed Xiwu behind, shuttled between the chains and gears bit by bit.

Once someone starts the elevator, these gears will drive the chains to rotate. We must carefully look at the road beneath our feet. As we climb higher and higher, we will be layered under our feet. If we are not careful, we will fall into these gears and be twisted into pieces.

When I climbed to the end, my hands were red, and my arms were not strong at all. I looked up and saw that it was still far from the top of the mountain. When would I climb to the end...

Wenna kept cheering me up in front, but I was still far behind, and the distance between us was getting further and further.

"Be careful!" Xiwu above her head exclaimed, and at the same time, a black shadow fell towards me. At this time, my hands were tightly grasping an iron chain. I couldn't react and was hit by the black shadow!

I suddenly woke up!

What hit me was not something else, but a mollusk! If my memory was not wrong, this should be the black iron snake that disappeared in the black level!

The snakes climbed into this huge mechanism along the pipe and launched an attack if they were not careful!

It is already extremely difficult for us to climb without protection here. Now there is still this black iron snake, and this road to the top that cannot be seen is even more difficult.

It was extremely hard to walk along the way. I almost got stuck in the gears several times, and from time to time, there were still a few corpses of black iron snakes falling from the top of my head.

After that, Liuliu also came to help, and I dragged and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

"That's it." Wenna said. Let the spiders lead the way.

"Do the people in the shelter know this passage?" I asked.

"I don't know, this is a retreat specially built by Xuanyi for us. In case of this, he had foreseeed everything." Liuliu replied.

This road does not seem to be built for people, because people cannot pass through it at all, only spiders can pass through it with slender footsteps.

This is an arched passage, and the underside is hanging.

"How can we get over?" I asked Liuliu.

"This is easy!" Liuliu said as she lowered her body and signaled me to climb onto his back. I did as I did, Liuliu's back was smoother and wider than I thought. I sat on it and finally took a breath.

Everyone else passed through this arched passage with the help of the human-headed spider.

There was a faint light at the end of the passage. We advanced towards the light and finally left the refuge. "Here comes out." Several of us stood on the rocks outside the passage, feeling the baptism of the sun again.

"Look at that." Xiwu pointed in one direction. I saw that there should be the door where we entered the shelter. There were sentries patrolling at the door. "The place we are standing now is just the blind spot of their patrol. It seems that the people who designed this passage had a prescient idea."

We took a break at the top of the mountain, and then left here without stopping from the other road down the mountain. No one spoke along the way, and they were rushing the road with concentration until we left the mountain far away, and we finally rested with confidence.

It was getting dark at this time, so we found a corner to shelter from the wind, lit a bonfire, and prepared to spend the night.

"What are you going to do next?" Xigu asked me.

"I'm going to find my sister. Where are you?"

"Can't we follow you?" Xiwu frowned slightly, as if she was a little unhappy again.

"Yes, of course!"

"What should you do with these human-headed spiders?" Xiwu pointed at Liu Liu behind me.

"Take it with me~" I said.

"Hey, master, you plan to throw us away after you finish your work... We can't let you run away this time! I will always follow you and protect you!"

"But you are too big... It's too eye-catching when walking on the road... and I guess I'm going to eat a lot... I can't afford to raise..."

I muttered quietly.

"So that~ wait!"

Liuliu's body was like origami, folding those huge touch limbs inch by inch, constantly retracting them under its head, and finally, there was only one head left.

"Is this small enough?"

He asked me excitedly like a ball on the ground.

I looked at his ugly face, with a black line.

"Yeah, it's pretty good..."

Fortunately, there are few people here, otherwise anyone who saw more than a dozen people floating in the air beating up and down beside the bonfire, would probably be scared to death. If it spread, there would probably be a few more terrifying legends in this mountainous area.

In the next ten days, we tried our best to avoid the main roads and walk through some mountain paths to avoid being detected by patrols nearby.

Finally on the 19th day of our progress, we saw a town appearing in front of us. Everyone was shocked by it. When we entered, we realized that it was a different situation.

The buildings of the past have long collapsed, and some low houses have been damaged to varying degrees. There are traces of smoke and fire everywhere. There are also some cars covered in dust and mud on the street, but the glass has been smashed to pieces and the tires are invisible.

"There should be people here. Look, there is smoke there. Let's go in and have your spider and others wait outside for a while." Wenna said.

I nodded, settled them and walked closer to the town. There were indeed people on the street. The smoke we saw outside was the fire that people on the street had in the middle of the road. They seemed to be roasting something. When they saw us approaching, they were all alert. I took a sneak look and they were probably cooking, and they were roasting one leg, one leg, and one leg.

Those people, as we got closer, were all holding weapons such as axes and shovels beside us, making a desperate stance...

"We don't rob, we just pass by." I raised my hands and signaled that I didn't want to find trouble.

"Let's go!" One of them held up an axe and grinned at us. It seemed that there was no way to communicate with them. Several of us had to slowly withdraw from this intersection.

At the wall at the end of the road, there was an extremely stinky smell coming out. They were many incomplete corpses. I think many of the incomplete limbs should have been eaten...

A head suddenly jumped out from behind the pile of corpses, opened its mouth and exposed its rotten and black teeth. A horn actually grew on the top of his head, and something seemed to be moving in the horn!

I took a few steps back and saw clearly what was in the corner... It turned out to be a maggot... The pus on the man's head actually formed a corner...

Oh my God... these escapees ate all the things on the street... In the end, they could only share the same kind of limbs...

At that time, in the laboratory of Qiansun, I didn't understand Dr. Marin's research very much, and even felt that his research violated moral ethics and laws of nature. But now when I see the real cannibalism scene, I know how narrow my previous view was...

‘Let’s leave here quickly!’ Wenna urged in a low voice.

After we left the intersection, those people did not stay where we were, but held our weapons and followed us more than ten meters behind us. Could it be that they treated us as a meal for tonight?

We accelerated our pace and walked through a street and saw a high wall with layers of iron wire wrapped around it and a lot of broken glass residue, like a bunker building to prevent outsiders from invading.

"I'll go in and take a look," I said to Wenna, and then I stood in the corner and prepared to shed.

"Don't show your presence! Come out quickly after inquiring, let's make a long-term plan!"
Chapter completed!
