"Boom!"

With a thunderous explosion, an arrow flashed like lightning, instantly embedded into the fat abdomen of a distant giant spider, bursting open a small hole.

The giant spider's body stiffened, struggled weakly a few times, and then completely went limp.

Hidden behind the wall of the building, Chen Shouyi's eyes flickered with a trace of surprise.

What tremendous power.

An 800-pound War Bow, at close range, was incredibly lethal. With senses far sharper than the average person, he even noticed that when the arrow entered, the relatively soft abdomen slightly swelled, causing a wave-like shock. Evidently, the supersonic arrow, when entering the body at high speed, created an air bubble effect, expanding the internal wound, causing even more terrifying damage.

Watching the giant spider twitching all over, unable to crawl.

The efficiency of this slaughter was several times higher than using a sword!

Chen Shouyi sighed inwardly, quickly regaining his composure. He listened intently, and a few seconds later, he got up and walked quickly in the direction of the sound.

...

On the fourth floor of an office building, two high-speed machine guns were mounted on the windows, frantically cross-firing at a giant spider. A large number of bullets hitting the giant spider's body caused sparks to fly, its body staggered under the impact of the bullets, growling in rage.

After more than ten seconds, cracks began to appear in its shell, with green blood slowly seeping out.

One of the soldiers quickly loaded a grenade into the rifle and fired it fiercely at the giant spider.

With a bang, a ball of flame exploded on the street.

The giant spider let out a sharp screech.

When the flames dispersed, the giant spider was seen charred all over, its shell shattered and broken, green blood flowing freely.

Finally feeling fear, it turned and fled rapidly. The soldiers manning the machine guns hurriedly adjusted their aim.

Unfortunately, it moved too fast, and by the time they re-aimed, it had already run dozens of meters away. The machine gun continued firing a few shots in pursuit, but considering the dwindling ammunition, they had to give up reluctantly.

After the mutation, the power of firearms greatly diminished. Take the rifle as an example, before the mutation, a rifle's muzzle velocity could reach a thousand meters per second. It could penetrate a 3.5-mm thick steel plate at 700 meters, but now, post-mutation, the muzzle velocity only reached over 400 meters, with effective lethality rapidly reduced to around 100 meters.

"Damn beast!" a soldier angrily took off his helmet and cursed.

A silence settled over them.

In just these few hours, who knows how many soldiers had died at the hands of such creatures. Just from what their team saw from afar, it was no less than dozens.

In this oppressive atmosphere, a sharp shriek suddenly rang out.

The soldiers startled, hurriedly looked over, only to find that the giant spider, already far away, suddenly shuddered and collapsed.

Soon after, a figure carrying a Giant Bow appeared in their sight.

He seemed to walk like a normal person, but each step spanned seven or eight meters. In just a breath, he had crossed the wide six-lane road and disappeared from sight.

...

It was still winter, with filthy, dirty snow piled on the roadsides yet to melt, already frozen into ice. Chen Shouyi walked barefoot, feeling no cold at all, his whole body steaming with heat, his skin flushed red.

Shards of glass littered the road, with body parts and bloodstains visible here and there.

Arms, pale intestines, half-eaten corpses.

The whole city was suffused with a faint bloody smell, making one feel like being in a hellish battleground.

At this moment, a dull explosion sounded from afar.

Chen Shouyi stopped in his tracks, quickly looked towards the distance.

But high-rise buildings blocked the view, and he couldn't see a thing.

The number of troops stationed in the Hedong District wasn't small, with well-equipped armaments, large numbers of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, armed helicopters, and even plenty of missiles, enough for a medium-intensity war.

But after the mutation, apart from personal weapons that could still be moved by manpower, these armaments had become ornaments, completely immobilized, with mobility next to zero.

He glanced for a moment, then withdrew his gaze.

He didn't stray too far from his neighborhood, only venturing around the surrounding area.

As for going further, he could only apologize, he couldn't let his family fall into danger.

...

A few minutes later, Chen Shouyi killed another giant spider that broke into a shopping mall.

Before the chaos, this mall was still operating. Almost all the shops on both sides had their iron shutters torn apart, with countless clothes scattered on the ground, accompanied by numerous fragments of bodies, flesh, and blood nearly soaking the floors.

He continued to walk forward for a bit, vaguely feeling some unease. There was too much minced flesh, obviously not the work of just one giant spider. Listening carefully, he indeed faintly heard the rising and falling sounds of chewing.

He immediately felt the urge to retreat, quietly pulling out an arrow and began to slowly back away, while remaining vigilant, looking around. The mall had a circular layout, allowing a view from the first floor to the top floor, yet he saw nothing.

Just then, he keenly heard a series of crisp, chaotic clattering sounds.

Chen Shouyi's heart tensed, recognizing the noise as the knife-like legs of giant spiders moving on the ground, and by the sound, there were quite a few of them, or it wouldn't be so chaotic.

He quickened his pace, retreating rapidly towards the mall's entrance, an arrow slowly nocked on the bowstring.

Suddenly, he spun around sharply, without looking, following an instinctive intuition, swiftly nocked and fired an arrow towards a spot on the third floor. The giant spider, still mid-air, was pierced through the chest and abdomen by the swiftly flying arrow, crashing to the ground.

However, this was just the beginning.

The next moment, seven or eight giant spiders, like dumplings dropping into boiling water, leaped from various floors.

Not only from the front, but also from behind.

These giant spiders, possessing a certain intelligence, attempted to encircle him.

Shit!

Chen Shouyi's heart pounded wildly, never expecting so many giant spiders to be gathered inside a single mall.

This is freaking like a party!

Sensing the danger, Chen Shouyi's mind became extraordinarily calm.

He even had the spare capacity to discern the order in which each spider landed, and the next moment, swiftly drew and nocked an arrow.

His agility had already reached 14.3, nearly six times that of an average person.

From the moment Chen Shouyi reacted, to drawing out the first arrow, and fully drawing and firing it, it took only 0.15 seconds.

The first-floor height of the mall was five meters. In Earth's gravity, how long would it take for a giant spider to jump from the second floor?

A full second.

Such a length of time, for Chen Shouyi, was enough to pull the bow six times and shoot six arrows.

This was for those jumping from the second floor; quite a few spiders were jumping from the third or fourth floor.

For a time.

All that was heard were explosive "booms" echoing continuously in the mall, pounding against the eardrums.

During the first and second arrows, Chen Shouyi felt some nervousness, but by the third and fourth arrows, he became increasingly relaxed, and his aim steadily improved.

The piercing screeches of the giant spiders sounded one after another.

The last spider, still seven meters from the ground, was instantly pierced through the head by an arrow, its massive body knocked several meters sideways by the enormous impact, before crashing heavily to the ground.

Feeling his heart still pounding heavily, Chen Shouyi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Damn, gave me a fright.

Then he pulled out another arrow, finishing off the few giant spiders that hadn't been hit lethally and were still struggling to escape.

Just as he was about to leave this hellish scene, Chen Shouyi suddenly felt something watching him.
