Chapter 94: No Way Out
They had gone quite a distance inside the villa without encountering any bugs or spiders.
Soon, the end of the corridor was near, and they would arrive in the main hall that led to the main gate. But the moment they turned a corner, they all froze.
The sealed gate, the one they had blocked with all the furniture, was shaking.
No, not shaking. It was falling apart slowly.
The sound of wood being scraped and crushed. The heavy furniture they had stacked was collapsing piece by piece. And through the gaps, more spiders squeezed through.
Liora’s face hardened as she looked at the spiders forcing their way inside.
So this was where they came from. These spiders weren’t from inside. They were coming from outside the villa. As she guessed, the ones inside were still mutating and weak. But those that were outside and had been in direct contact with the rain had already evolved and become much stronger.
The continuous knocking and clanging sounds of furniture dropping to the ground could be heard. With every second, the gap widened, and the sunlight of the day filled the dimly lit hall.
Spindly legs filled with short hair and fine bristles tore through the cracked wood. Sharp fangs scraped against the walls. And finally—
BANG!
The whole barricade crashed to the ground. Even the already loosened door, which was barely hanging on by a few nails, fell with a loud thud and revealed a massive swarm of spiders outside.
