Chapter 1040 The Gloomy Forest

"Okay, I'll take this task!"

Thinking of this, Qin nodded and took the information about the mutated spider from Li Geng, then carefully read through it.

"Insect-type mutants are indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary mutant beasts."

As he flipped through the documents in his hand, Qin Zhong pondered to himself. According to the documents, this mutated spider was a transformation of the wolf spider, which is known as a cold-blooded killer in nature.

Wolf spiders are a type of widely distributed, agile hunting spider. They are named "wolf spider" because the mother spider often carries the egg sac on her back, and the spiderlings, after hatching, cling to the mother's body.

Tarantulas are known as cold-blooded killers in nature. Some tarantulas are so venomous that they can kill a sparrow, while larger tarantulas can even kill a person.

The mutated tarantula's venom has undergone a dramatic transformation, much like its size. The data mentions that a level three evolved being accidentally bitten by it turned into a pool of pus and blood within minutes.

What's most troublesome is that after the mutated tarantula, its reproductive ability not only didn't weaken, but actually increased significantly, resulting in a large number of giant spider offspring.

These spider offspring, along with their mother, covered the entire forest with spiderwebs.

It can be said that whether it is a human, a zombie, or a mutated beast, once they enter a forest full of spider webs, their fate is the same: to become food for these spiders.

"Heh, getting your stuff is going to be really difficult."

After reviewing the information on the mutated tarantula, Qin Chong scratched his head in exasperation and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Twenty doses of virus cure potion are needed to exchange for one formula. In other words, if I want the formula, I'd have to kill at least twenty of these monsters. To be honest, if there weren't so many strong individuals in your alliance, I would have preferred to just steal it from you."

"No, trust me, dealing with these monsters is much easier than dealing with our siege."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Li Geng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Since we dare to spread information all over the world, we must be absolutely certain. Besides, both the potions and the formulas are under strict guard. Even if you can break through our defenses, you still won't be able to get them."

"How do I know that after I complete all the tasks, you won't give me the recipe?"

Qin Zhong curled his lip and said, "Since you're so confident, then even if you don't give me the formula in the end, there's nothing I can do."

"Of course not. We invited more than just you to help us. If we break our promise, even we wouldn't be able to withstand all the evolved beings attacking us together."

Li Geng shook his head and smiled, "Besides, the fact that you were able to complete twenty tasks proves your strength. Believe me, we wouldn't be so foolish as to offend a powerful enemy for a single formula!"

"Okay, I hope you really know what you're doing."

After listening to Li Geng's words, Qin Zhong shrugged indifferently and said, "Otherwise, you'll find that the enemy you've offended is far more terrifying than those twenty targets combined, hahaha..."

"Of course, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

Ignoring the threat in Qin Zhong's words, Li Geng maintained his warm smile, took out a vial of pale green medicine, and tossed it to Qin Zhong: "This is the virus cure. It can remove the X virus from the target's body. A word of caution: many zombies' bodies are severely damaged, and they're only able to survive because of the X virus. If the infection is removed, the target's condition will likely worsen. Therefore, be very careful before removing the virus and prepare medical facilities..."

At this point, Li Geng smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can try it on a zombie first. This virus cure is absolutely safe."

"Of course, I wouldn't use something I don't know the details of."

After fiddling with the virus cure in his hand for a while, Qin Zhong said with a smile, "However, I won't use this one for testing. I'll get a few more and then do some random checks."

"Whatever you want, there won't be any problems anyway."

Li Geng smiled indifferently at Qin Zhong's words and said, "I have other external support that I need to contact, so I won't accompany you for now. There are our monitoring personnel near the forest in San Diego. Once you successfully kill the mutated tarantula, they will find a way to notify me, and then you can get the second dose of the virus cure."

"Okay, I believe we'll meet again soon."

After storing the data and medicine in his spatial ring, Qin Chong spread his wings, transforming into a streak of silver light. He soared into the air, circled once, found his direction, and flew towards San Diego.

……

"Hehe, he's an interesting person..."

Watching Qin Chong's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Li Geng smiled slightly, and then vanished in a flash of lightning.

San Diego is a coastal city in California, USA, located at the southernmost tip of the state, bordering Mexico.

It is the second most populous city in California and the eighth largest city in the United States. San Diego is known for its warm climate, beautiful beaches, military bases, biotechnology industry, and the famous San Diego Zoo.

At this moment, this densely populated city is sparsely populated than a typical small town in the United States, especially in the suburbs, where even the shadow of zombies is hard to find.

All of this was because a giant mutated tarantula appeared in the forests outside San Diego. It and its offspring almost devoured all the humans, mutated beasts, and zombies in the surrounding area.

Although spiders don't eat a lot, even a small appetite can't withstand such a huge number of them.

To date, the mutated tarantulas have almost completely wiped out the creatures in the small town outside San Diego, and their hunting range is still expanding, showing a trend of spreading towards the urban area.

All of this undoubtedly poses a serious threat to the survivors of the San Diego naval base.

"What a gloomy forest..."

San Diego is not far from Los Angeles. It took Qin Chong a little over half an hour to fly over the San Diego National Forest.

It must be said that the United States protects its forests much better than China. The forests outside San Diego are so vast that even Qin Chong, high in the air, could not see the end of them at a glance.

The most terrifying thing is that, apart from the canopy at the top, the trunks of all the trees in the forest are covered with white spider silk. Looking down, you can't see what's going on inside the forest at all.

In other words, it would be almost impossible for Qin Zhong to find and kill this mutated tarantula in this forest.
