As Long Yu looked at the spider-like critters, they started to hiss loudly, attempting to intimidate the foreign enemy that entered their territory.
'System, give me the data on these bastards,' he called out in his mind in an annoyed tone. Long Yu was obviously feeling a bit unhappy that these things had caused damage to his car earlier.
[Mutated Baby Yellow Sac Spider]
[The offspring of a mutated yellow sac arachnid species. Due to the mutation, its venom has developed an extremely corrosive property. It primarily attacks by spitting venom at its enemy. When threatened, it will cling onto the enemy and detonate the sac on its back]
'So that's how they damaged the front tire…' Long Yu finally understood what happened.
At the same time, he also realised one thing. They must avoid contact with these spiders at all costs!
Looking at the hundreds of spiders that were slowly inching forward, Long Yu felt his scalp tingle. Even with its enhanced defences, the Black Shark would definitely be ruined if attacked by that many spiders at the same time.
'Since we can't fight them close up, I guess the only way is to destroy them from afar!' Long Yu quickly came up with a plan.
Without delay, he accessed the car's weapon system on the screen. After a few taps, a silver metal joystick suddenly appeared behind the gear shift. The top of the joystick is an angled flat surface with a circular thumb pad in the middle. There are also several buttons on both sides of the pad, allowing for unknown functions.
The most noticeable thing on the joystick is the red trigger placed on the front edge. It somehow reminded him of the joysticks used in military jets, except it has a more sophisticated appearance.
"Activate the secondary firearm of the basic weapons system," Long Yu commanded through the voice activated system.
At the hood of the car, two weapons, different from the previous .50 cal double barrel gunimmediately emerged. They looked similar to modern gatling guns, albeit smaller in size. These guns which use 7.62 ammunition can fire bullets at an incredible speed. Although the magazine capacities were quite small, their firepower were at least twice as strong compared to a normal gatling gun.
On the panel of the screen, the UI interface had switched to an image of the spiders in front. A futuristic blue crosshair with a dot in the middle along with a disconnected triangular edges, also constantly bounced around, attempting to lock onto its target. However, due to the sheer amount of spiders, the system was unable to lock onto every single one of them.
Since it was useless, Long Yu turned off the auto targeting function and controlled it himself instead. He grasped the joystick in his left hand, deftly manipulating it to aim at the direction he wanted. His index finger which was placed on the trigger also finally pressed down. Immediately, the barrels of the guns at the hood started spinning rapidly, causing a high pitched sound.
*Whirrr**Tatatata*
Bullets sprayed towards the direction where the barrels aimed at, destroying everything in its path. It was needless for Long Yu to aim properly. He merely controlled the joystick and swept the crosshair across the entire area that was filled with spiders.
As the bullets flew, golden shells that were ejected from the guns bounced off the hood and dropped onto the ground, causing a chorus of clinks. The number which represented the amount of ammunition available on the screen also decreased at a terrifying rate.
After firing continuously for less than half a minute, the entire magazine of ammunition was almost gone. Long Yu released the trigger and observed the havoc that he had caused in front of him.
The hundreds of spiders that were originally approaching their enemy had been shredded apart. His handiwork left the intersection full of spider carapaces, covered in yellowish green substance. Even the concrete surface of the road was pulverised beyond recognition by the guns' firepower.
Although Long Yu saw that some of the spiders had survived, they were quickly crawling back into the large crevices.
*Tsss*
More importantly, the corrosive venom of the spiders had splattered all over the place during the destruction. They were now eating away at the concrete floor, riddling it with countless holes.
Long Yu frowned at this sight. The corrosive property of the spiders' venom was truly dangerous. Fortunately, he was able to deal with them before they could get close to their car.
Nevertheless, the aftermath of the battle also caused him a dilemma. With the condition of the road, it would be impossible for them to drive across. Moreover, the sight of the patches of leftover substances on the floor also made him hesitant to approach them.
