51 Mother Yellow Sac Spider

As Long Yu was contemplating on how to cross the wrecked intersection, a sudden loud noise alerted him.

*DANG*

Something landed from above, cracking the already broken concrete road. A huge figure was revealed once the dusts settled. The creature resembled the baby yellow sac spiders, except it was much, much larger. Its size could even rival the Black Shark.

The mutated spider's carapace gave off a sheen similar to metal, and its sharp fangs continuously dripped out corrosive venom.

"I see the big one has finally arrived. It looks pretty angry too…" Long Yu said with a calm smile.

While he was reading about the information on the yellow sac infant spiders, he had noticed an underlying danger hidden within the description. Since these baby spiders have appeared, there must be a source, namely their mother!

Therefore, Long Yu had been constantly sweeping his sight around, trying to find it. Who knew it would come from above?

At the same time, he was also glad that the mutated spider had not decided to land on their vehicle instead. Otherwise, the outcome would have been a disastrous.

Long Yu quickly grabbed the silver joystick once again. A hail of bullets flew towards the spider while it was still hissing angrily.

When Long Yu saw the sparks on its carapace, he was surprised.

'Is that thing bulletproof? No... its shell did suffer some cracks. I just need more firepower,' he quickly concluded from his observation.

Seeing that the spider was not invulnerable to bullets, Long Yu was no longer afraid. Since 7.62 ammunition won't work, then how about .50 cal ones?

Upon activation, a gap opened in the middle of the hood, and a black box with two long barrels emerged.

Long Yu did not give the spider the chance to retaliate. The two barrels continuously shook from the powerful recoil, unleashing havoc onto its body.

*Crack* *Pssh*

Tens of .50 cal bullets penetrated the mutated spider's shell within seconds. It was killed almost instantly.

'Phew, that was easier than I thought…' Long Yu sighed in relief.

Little did he know that hundreds of survivors had died to the mutated spider without even being able to fight back. It was truly a gruesome scene.

Now that the last threat has been eliminated, it was back to the problem of crossing the intersection.

"Big brother, I can help!" Xixi suddenly pulled on his sleeve.

Long Yu smiled when he saw the serious expression on her face. The little lass had been constantly pestering to help him during his previous battles.

However, how could he be willing to let a seven year old child face those zombies and monsters. Any sane adult would not be willing to do so.

Furthermore, his previous fights up till now had been relatively easy. At this stage of doomsday where firearms are still effective, they didn't really encounter any perilous situations.

"Alright, what do you have in mind?" Long Yu folded his hands and pretended to listen carefully.

A translucent blue sphere silently materialised on top of Xixi's palm. Its design made of hexagonal shapes, gave off an elegant yet sturdy appearance.

She then started to use her ability to manipulate the sphere, flattening into a disk. As she spread her arms its size would extend accordingly. A few seconds later, the original sphere on her palm had turned into a platform the size of an A3 paper.

"Big brother, we just have to get to the other side right? Xixi can create a bridge for us!" she said in an expectant tone while waving the platform around.

After thinking for a while, Long Yu replied, "Hmm…that might work…"

Looking at the surface of the road that was highly uneven due to the various holes, he felt that it was a viable idea. Although he could probably pull off a few similar methods using the the exchange system, it would consume more time and resources. Since Xixi was confident, there was no harm in trying it her way.

Besides, he was also curious about the development of her ability. Throughout the journey, Xixi had spent an ample amount of time and effort practicing her power.

As doomsday progressed, so did the strength of all ability users. Once the mutation of the genes in their bodies stabilised, the growth of their abilities would improve to a certain extent.

Of course, since Xixi was a special case, her growth had been exceptional within the past few days. Perhaps it was time for her to test it out.

"Alright Xixi, I'll be relying on you then," he said with a grin.

Xixi felt happy that she finally has the chance to help Long Yu. She closed her eyes and channeled her ability, materialising a large translucent platform in front of the car.

Through her control, the platform was slowly lowered until it hovered slightly above the edge of the riddled concrete road.

"If you really can't hold it, don't force yourself okay?" he advised her before slowly driving the car forward.

Long Yu first placed the front wheels onto the platform. He then looked towards Xixi at his side. Except for a few sweat beads on her forehead, she seemed to be fine, so he proceeded.

As the tires approached the end of the platform, Xixi would then form another platform and fix it next to the previous one. Like that, the Black Shark was able to move forwards slowly but steadily.

After crossing the intersection half-way, Long Yu stopped the car. This was because right in front of them, was the giant corpse of a mutated yellow sac spider. It was exactly the one that Long Yu had killed moments before.
