After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 5

Wen Bei: “…”

　　He showed a doting expression: “That’s a stupid idea.”

　　The flying eagle that Ji Mingyuan had released returned once again.

　　The expression on his face became serious: “I found it. It’s in the teaching building.”

　　He turned around and saw Wen Bei walking upstairs.

　　Ji Mingyuan was confused for a moment: “What do you want to do?”

　　Wen Bei: “Of course I’m planning a strategic retreat.”

　　This was the first time Ji Mingyuan saw someone speaking so righteously about the idea of escaping from trouble. Ji Mingyuan, who had always managed to remain calm, was speechless for a while.

　　”Fine, you go ahead and get out of here. I’ll go look for it myself.”

　　”Are you really going to blow yourself up?” Wen Bei raised his eyebrows.

　　He was good-looking, and his actions didn’t seem like a provocation.

　　Ji Mingyuan was silent for a moment and looked at his ring: “Yes.”

　　Wen Bei followed his gaze and looked at the ring.

　　As a matter of fact, Ji Mingyuan’s ring had been sounding alarms from the moment the two had met, but Wen Bei was considerate enough to not ask about it.

　　”ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!!The pollution level in your body has reached the critical point of 95. You are still 5 points away from becoming a filth. Please accept the guideline and stay away from the base.”

　　This was the ‘notification’ from Ji Mingyuan’s monitoring ring.

　　Everyone had to wear the ring as soon as they were born or since the moment they joined the base. Some wore it on their hands and others on their feet. Without any exception, everyone was subjected to constant monitoring of their pollution level.

　　Thus, the countdown to death followed them every moment.

　　At best, accepting control meant voluntarily staying away from the base. At worst, it required anyone who was at a high risk of becoming a pollutant to commit suicide.

　　After all, in this world, even the most powerful polluter could not survive long without the protection of the base.

　　What they faced was not only the scarcity of food and water, but also the constant fear of attacks from the filth.

　　Ji Mingyuan’s tone became relaxed in vain: “You’ve also heard the alarm. I just want my death to be meaningful.”

　　Behind the relaxation is the sad death of the hero.

　　But he was still so young.

　　Wen Bei stared at him for a while: “Even if you manage to kill the mother through self-destruction, the countless larvae here will still pose a threat to the base that you just mentioned.”

　　Ji Mingyuan’s head began to hurt again, and the desire for destruction in his heart began to churn harder. He suppressed his discomfort: “What do you mean?”

　　Wen Bei suddenly laughed, and when he smiled, his cat eyes became curved, as if stars were falling into his eyes, dazzling to the extreme: “What I mean is, I have a way to kill them all for you.”

　　…

　　through the backyard of the dormitory, they ran from the back door towards the teaching building.

　　The amount of spider silk along the way increased by every step, and they became more and more sticky to the soles of their shoes. It was as if the spider silk was prompting them that they were going the right way.

　　Ji Mingyuan followed Wen Bei and walked directly along the road with the most spider silk. Thus when it was too sticky to walk, they finally succeeded in arriving right in front of the mother body of the female ventral-faced spider.

　　The body of the female spider was far larger than the larvae. It was nearly three metres tall just standing there. There was not only one human face on its abdomen, but at least seven human faces spread all over it!

　　The faces seemed to be of students with relatively young-looking faces and adult faculty and staff.

　　The moment the Bell-faced Spider saw them, the seven faces actually let out painful cries in unison.

　　At the same time, they made a distorted voice: “It hurts…it hurts…help!”

　　Seven different voices, both male and female, came out from the spider’s abdomen. Just listening to it made people shudder.

　　It was as if the faces were still conscious.

　　”Help!”

　　”Help me!!”

　　The voices were like evil ghosts urging for the death of others, shouting at Ji Mingyuan over and over again.

　　And at the moment, while Ji Mingyuan remained stunned, the bell-faced spider was approaching him greedily and quickly, raising its limbs high to stab at the top of his head.

　　The top of the spider limbs was sharper than a spear. If it poked once, no matter how hard the skull is, it would still be pierced.

　　Ji Mingyuan didn’t give the spider such a chance. The black hawk swooped down and helped avoid the blow.

　　With a loud roar, the flying eagle took the blow and then attacked the spider hard on the head.

　　The bell-faced spider shrank back in pain, and the seven human faces on its abdomen all showed the same expression of discomfort.

　　Ji Mingyuan took advantage of this gap and ran to the playground. Unfortunately, the spider moved much faster than he imagined. Its desire for prey was higher than its fear, so it chased after him without thinking.

　　On the spider silk, it remained completely unaffected by viscosity, instantly closing in on the distance between two.

　　Just when he was about to be overtaken, a familiar low shout came from the side, and Wen Bei appeared riding a motorcycle at full speed.

　　”Hop on!”

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingyuan jumped onto the motorcycle and held on to the pole behind him tightly to prevent him from being thrown off.

　　Wen Bei: “I originally wanted to find a four-wheeled vehicle. But unfortunately there was only this one in the faculty parking lot which could still be driven.”

　　He whistled, and the wind blew up the broken hair on his forehead, revealing his clear and delicate eyebrows, with the vigour and wantonness unique to a young man.

　　Behind them was a giant spider chasing them with a ferocious appearance.

　　Ji Mingyuan’s hand was almost numb from the jolt: “Can’t you drive more steadily?”

　　For a moment, he felt that he would not die from self-destruction or the bell-faced spider, but from Wen Bei’s terrible driving skills.

　　Wen Bei raised his voice: “Huh? This motorcycle had been left unattended for too long. The brakes have long ceased working!”

　　Fortunately, the owner of the vehicle had met his death right next to it, with the key still inserted in the motorcycle. It took a lot of effort for Wen Bei to get it to start.

　　As for the absence of the brake controls, it was still within his acceptable range.

　　Ji Mingyuan: “…”

　
　　For a moment, he couldn’t tell who exactly was seeking death. Was it really him or Wen Bei?

　　Even if he was driving an out-of-control motorcycle and rampaging around the campus, he couldn’t stop the bell-faced female spider body, which was blessed with spider silk. It kept chasing them closely and relentlessly.

　　 From just few minutes of extreme speed, the vehicle had obviously reached its limit, and thick black smoke was emitting from its body.

　　Their final destination was the playground which was full of spider larvae.

　　Having successfully lured in countless numbers of spider larvae along with their mother, Ji Mingyuan couldn’t help but admit that it was a better way to catch them all off guard and accept self-destruction.

　　But if he blew himself up, then even Wen Bei would fail to escape.

　　With his powers, he could only protect himself in such a difficult situation. It was absolutely impossible to protect an ordinary person without powers.

　　Ji Mingyuan couldn’t think of a way out for Wen Bei, so he could only hold on to the rear seat to prevent himself from flying off at every sharp turn.

　　In the next second, he heard Wen Bei’s even crazier words: “Go to the right. THREE…TWO….ONE- – -JUMP!!”

　　The body moves faster than the brain. The moment Wen Bei released his hands, Ji Mingyuan also unconsciously released his hands and pounced to the right.

　　The pain he had imagined he’d suffer from falling to the ground did not occur. Because, they landed accurately on a thick layer of spider silk.

　　The life-threatening spider silk actually saved their lives at such a critical moment.

　　The motorcycle drove forward on its own for some distance, and finally hit the wall hard, narrowly avoiding exploding.

　　Ji Mingyuan looked at Wen Bei in disbelief: “You are really crazy.”

　　Being able to drive an out-of-control motorcycle while judging the situation in time to allow two people to land safely in this situation, even if he was a madman, he was still an extremely rational madman.

　　Wen Bei smiled: “Thank you for the compliment. Congratulations, we are still alive.”

　　Ji Mingyuan frowned and turned back sharply.

　　Unexpectedly, when he saw the bell-faced spider who just now looked like she wanted to eat them, seemed to be stunned and frozen in place.

　　There was a smile on Wen Bei’s lips, and light flashed in his dark eyes: “I was right.. I wonder if you have heard of it… spiders can actually eat their eggs.”

　　After they took advantage of the visual difference around the corner and fell into a large ball of spider silk, the female spider temporarily lost their location.

　　Under normal circumstances, even if they tried to evade, they wouldn’t be able to hide for long, and they would be found by the slight swaying of the spider silk.

　　But after arriving at the playground, the spider obviously had no time to care about them.

　　It was caught in a tangled dilemma.

　　After all, the spider was a pollutant, a filth. The filth were the type of a species whose desire for destruction and devouring had reached its peak.

　　The moment the larvae began to approach it, the spider really couldn’t resist the murderous instinct in its bones. It raised its spike-like feet and directly pierced the larvae closest to it.

　　The larvae were hung on its feet like a skewer on a barbecue. They were torn and eaten by its sharp mouthparts without any time to suffer.

　　Some of the thick green liquid flowed down the mother’s feet, attracting more larvae.

　　Not only did the mother spider eat her own children, but even the larvae liked the taste of their brothers and sisters.

　　It’s like hell on earth.

　　A gluttonous carnival.

　　The mother was frantically eating her children, her body soaked in the green blood of the larvae, so some of the larvae desperately got close to it, climbed onto its back, and began to gnaw at the mother’s body.

　　Forming a strange closed loop of hurting each other.

　　They didn’t know how long it had been, but the large number of larvae on the playground had been almost cleared away.

　　Although the female spider had a strong body, it still suffered a lot of damage from the larvae, with traces of bites everywhere on its body.
