Chapter 53 - 53

However, at this moment, the Overlord's internal cavity opened, and a silvery-white canister dropped from it, crashing onto the Military Base's parade ground.

The canister fell from a height of two to three thousand meters and immediately shattered into pieces, but the Space Spiders that had already awakened inside were not so fragile.

Blackwatch soldiers in the courtyard came to investigate, but from the shattered canister, many small spiders with shiny black shells immediately swarmed out.

Even though Blackwatch's equipment was top-tier in the entire Military, possessing infrared goggles and light weapon shock-absorbing bulletproof suits, the small spiders still crawled into the seams of their clothes and immediately bit them.

After the venom was injected, these soldiers experienced severe pain at the bite site, accompanied by localized nerve paralysis.

The first few squads of soldiers were immediately overwhelmed by the Space Spiders.

They were the second-generation sub-lineage of Space Spiders, refrigerated immediately after being produced and transported back to Earth, so they were extremely ferocious upon completing incubation, seeking food for rapid growth.

As the soldiers came forward, they were directly paralyzed by the venom, their bodies became swollen, and then countless small spiders crawled into any of their body's orifices to feed.

Pain! The pain of being gnawed by ten thousand insects! But the venom's paralyzing effect kept their nerves unusually clear, allowing them to hear the sounds of their insides being devoured, which was a nightmare for any well-trained soldier, causing mental collapse.

Dr. Asa's eyes widened; this Space Spiders project was the work of his student, Sabrina, so he had a detailed report on these terrifying venomous insects.

If they were allowed to reproduce uncontrollably, it would inevitably cause a major biochemical disaster, capable of increasing their numbers by more than a hundredfold through reproduction in just a few days.

Furthermore, if these Space Spiders ate their fill and reached maturity, they would parasitize any living creature, which would lead to serious consequences.

Their body shape would undergo a Breakthrough determined by the host's DNA.

When this Breakthrough is complete, further reproduction would yield new species of spiders, and based on the number of individuals, the more species there are, the harder it would be to eliminate such an existence.

They were released in Queens because the Zerg and Zombie Tide were present, which could counteract the Space Spiders' reproduction rate.

However, the Safe Green Zone now only had human soldiers and important protected personnel who had been evacuated.

"Flamethrowers, quickly, burn these things to Death! Don't let them escape, or it will be the end of humanity!" Dr. Asa roared.

Portable flamethrowers were brought out from the Armory, and Blackwatch soldiers began to encircle and eliminate these Space Spiders.

But no one had anticipated this situation, so some escaped, and this was the Space Spiders' chance to revive.

In the next few minutes, Space Spiders attacks occurred in nearby and surrounding areas, including police stations, the Marine Corps, Navy SEALs, wealthy gathering places, Blackwatch, and Gentek's research institutes.

Even though this World had telephones, Dr. Asa was overwhelmed with his own Military Base; just as he began to deal with it, more Space Spiders incidents occurred in the surrounding areas, leaving him no leisure to worry about them.

At most, he could have the soldiers report it upwards, but by the time this delay occurred, various places were already littered with corpses and suffered heavy casualties.

Originally, several important wealthy individuals of the nation had already died; although there were still heirs who could utilize their assets, it would inevitably cause many inconveniences.

The State Council and the Military immediately held discussions, appointing General Ross as the Chief Commander responsible for this incident, with Blackwatch's one-armed Lieutenant General Aro as the Deputy Commander.

General Ross even bailed Abomination out of the national special crime prison for this purpose.

Having dealt with the Hulk for a long time, General Ross had been conducting experimental projects with Gamma radiation and Hulk serum; the last time he created Abomination, although it went out of control, it was not necessarily a new direction.

Abomination was Bronski, an ace elite of the former Britain Royal Special Forces, whose inner desires constantly expanded after being enhanced by the Hulk serum; his power completely exceeded what he could control.

However, during his time in prison, Abomination had gained some insight into controlling his transformation ability, although he still wanted to contend with the Hulk again.

The Safe Green Zone was quickly sealed off, and an inhibitory pheromone was sprayed by helicopters over the Safe Green Zone, rapidly spreading to the areas around Manhattan.

This pheromone was a countermeasure to prevent the Space Spiders from escaping.

Otherwise, such dangerous things would never have been used within one's own country.

However, the millions of people in the Quarantine Yellow Zone were now in a very awkward situation.

Mother Elizabeth had already passed through Empire Avenue, Brooklyn, and Chinatown, and was about to arrive at the Quarantine Yellow Zone.

The denser the population, the faster the Blacklight Virus spread; although the Military had disinfected the air with anti-Blacklight mist, making airborne infection a pipe dream, how long could the Military Base stationed in the Yellow Zone resist the zombie legion?

On the only bridge leading to the land, various heavy armaments were transported; this was humanity's last gate to stop this troubled land.

However, a Moon Goddess was about to be airdropped by an Overlord.
