All-out Horror Survival: My Awakening Skill Point Allocation Sequence!
Chapter 15 Zheng Sheng, the Marked One
"The lesser ghosts at the Wandering Spirit level are more like a collection of one or more fragments of consciousness, capable of vaguely perceiving the world and acting according to a fixed set of 'death logic.'"
"For example, in a certain place, countless people drowned. Their obsession after death will become water ghosts. Anyone who is targeted by them will become a substitute for the water ghost, and they will drown in various bizarre ways."
"And by killing the substitute, the monster can become even more powerful."
"And this process is also called 'eating substitutes'! It's a bizarre way to grow stronger."
"The three people you just mentioned should be the stand-ins targeted by three strange creatures. After these three die, it will be the turn of the others."
As Chen Kun spoke, he couldn't help but look at Zheng Sheng, who was pedaling her bicycle furiously, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
The Little Ghost's eating of substitutes is a bizarre killing rule, and therefore has a fixed "death logic".
Before killing the Stand, Xiao Gui generally won't harm others, but if this process is discovered, it will disrupt the "death logic" of eating the Stand.
The person who interrupts the evolution of the little ghost will become the little ghost's primary target for killing.
If Zheng Sheng had mentioned the three strange beings in the crowd just now, he would have been dead!
This kid is calmer and more cautious than I thought.
Only people like this can survive in this terrifying apocalyptic world!
"Zheng Sheng, would you like to get in the car? There's just one seat left."
Chen Kun nodded to his passenger seat and extended an invitation with a smile.
In his view, being teammates with someone like Zheng Sheng would increase his chances of survival.
Zheng Sheng glanced at Chen Kun with some surprise, then instantly understood what he meant. Of course, it would be best to be teammates with three seasoned veterans.
Seeing that Zheng Sheng did not agree immediately, Chen Kun smiled and continued to offer more chips.
"The three of us are all extraordinary sequences. You should have awakened your sequence as well. Joining us will give you a better chance of surviving in this terrifying world."
"Besides, you are a newcomer to this world, and we can share a lot of valuable information with you—that's the most precious thing!"
As Chen Kun spoke, he lit a cigarette and leaned against the car window, puffing out smoke.
"You should be glad that it was just three low-level spirit monsters. If that big guy, the Changgui-level monster, had found you, you definitely wouldn't have been able to escape without us."
Chen Kun originally only wanted to tell Zheng Sheng about their importance, but his last sentence made Zheng Sheng's heart tremble.
He suddenly asked.
"What would happen if we were targeted by that demon-level human-faced spider?"
Chen Kun was smoking a cigarette, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"The supernatural beings at the 'Changgui' level are extremely terrifying; they're on a completely different level. You already saw that roadside ghost last time; anyone who was discovered by it basically had a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying!"
"This is without the strange mark. If you were marked by it, you would surely die!"
Marked... certain death!
Seeing Zheng Sheng's face grow increasingly grim after hearing this, Chen Kun smiled, puffed on his cigarette, and offered words of comfort.
"But don't worry, that human-faced spider monster probably didn't notice us."
Didn't you find anything? Zheng Sheng sighed inwardly. That's not what the system said!
"Do you feel your body getting heavier?"
Zheng Sheng did not answer Chen Kun's invitation, but suddenly and inexplicably lowered his head and asked.
"I thought it was because I was riding too fast that I felt heavier, so I didn't pay much attention to it at first."
"But now I feel like there are several people riding bicycles on top of me."
Zheng Sheng spoke, panting heavily.
After adding points, his physique has reached 11 points, exceeding the limit of ordinary humans.
With his physical condition, it's impossible for him to get this tired after riding a bike for just over ten minutes.
Moreover, when he moved his arms, he felt as if his body was bound by something, making it extremely difficult to move.
Zheng Sheng's mind raced, and finally he took out some black dog blood and smeared it on his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, everything was clear.
It's spider silk! Countless strands of spider silk!
Layers of transparent spider silk wrapped around his body—his arms, legs, and even the bicycle beneath his feet…
The other end of the spider silk seemed to be stuck in the void, each strand stretched straight out like a large net, held in the hand of some enormous monster.
When did I get bound by these spider webs? I wasn't when I left the group!
The system didn't give any hints about escaping the Spider Demon, and combined with these spider silks, the answer was obvious.
Sure enough, he hadn't gotten rid of that terrifying human-faced spider monster yet!
Zheng Sheng turned to look at Chen Kun and the others' pickup truck, then looked back at Zhang Qing, who was following behind him on a bicycle.
Everyone and their vehicles were covered in transparent spider silk.
I wasn't the only one being targeted.
Zheng Sheng's sudden question startled Chen Kun and the other two. They stretched their bodies and found it extremely difficult to move.
They had been sitting in the pickup truck the whole time and hadn't noticed anything, but now, after Zheng Sheng's reminder, they instantly became alert.
"I was wondering why this car could only go 50 km/h when I floored the accelerator, damn it!"
Chen Kun pounded on the steering wheel. He had just thought there was something wrong with the car, but now it seemed that something strange was at work.
"What did you see?"
"Spider silk! We're entangled in a lot of spider silk!"
Spider silk! Chen Kun's eyes widened instantly; he already understood what was going on.
They were marked by that human-faced spider monster!
When were you marked? I wasn't detected by the other party!
Just as Chen Kun's mind was racing to recall the events, Zheng Sheng, who was riding a bicycle, suddenly braked hard and stopped moving forward.
Everyone followed Zheng Sheng's gaze and looked ahead.
A bridge spanning the river came into view on the highway ahead.
The bridge, stretching for several kilometers, was deserted, quiet and eerie in the hazy mist.
Sanqiao County was originally developed for shipping and logistics. Later, because it was a major transportation hub, three bridges were built across the river, hence the name Sanqiao County (Three Bridges County).
The bridge in front of Zheng Sheng is one of the three bridges spanning the river, and it is currently the only way to leave Sanqiao County.
but……
Zheng Sheng looked at the bridge spanning the river in the distance, his face turning extremely pale.
Spider silk! The bridge is covered with transparent spider silk!
He finally understood where the spider silk on his body came from; it turned out that the human-faced spider had laid out many transparent spider webs on the surrounding road.
They may have gotten entangled by accident while trying to escape.
And this only passage out of Sanqiao County is very likely the lair of that human-faced spider monster!
If it weren't for the fact that he opened his eyes with black dog blood, their group would have been certain to die if they had gone in rashly!
Zheng Sheng quickly told Chen Kun and the others what he had seen. Zhang Qing, who had been lagging behind, also struggled to ride her bicycle and stopped behind them.
Everyone looked up at the bridge across the river ahead. Although the road was clear and there was nothing there, Zheng Sheng said that the entire bridge was covered with spider webs, forming a net that stretched as far as the eye could see.
