At that time, the little spider stayed quietly beside Chiu Chiu, spinning silk for her. Chiu Chiu was diligently weaving all sorts of handicrafts.
He lay prone a short distance away, watching them.
By the time Qiuqiu turned around, his gaze had already shifted away.
"You used to ignore him, but now... wouldn't it be better to maintain the old way?"
Spider-Man's voice had changed quite a bit compared to before. His eyes were coldly fixed on the tiger cub in front of him, and there was not a trace of friendliness on his face.
The tiger cub treated him the same way.
"Get out of here."
An oppressive aura, belonging to the high-sequence aberration variant, spread throughout the tent.
The tiger, which was already arrogant and domineering, reflected the young man's appearance in its inorganic eyes. Its back was slightly arched, indicating an aggressive posture.
The young man was not to be outdone and was fully prepared to attack.
The octopus, also inside the tent, was fast asleep.
His little tentacles were wrapped around Chiu Chiu's feet, and the little one was sleeping on its back.
Just as the tiger bared its claws and teeth, about to tear its prey apart, Chiu Chiu in the blankets suddenly let out a whimper.
His grunts acted as a signal, causing both the tiger and the young man, who were about to confront each other, to stop what they were doing.
"go out."
Tiger uttered two words, turned his head, and left the tent first.
The young man followed.
In the open space far from the tent, the tiger finally lost its patience and pounced forward.
Xie Chiyuan, who was still next door to Chuchu, heard the noise and clicked his tongue.
"What a pity, the melon got away."
He thought he could sit still and enjoy the show, but now that the show has gone, he can't follow it.
After all, he still had to guard this place.
The roaring sounds occasionally reached this place. Xie Chiyuan squinted, opened his phone, and began to harass those who were still awake.
Fortunately, Pei Si was not asleep.
Xie Chiyuan relayed the situation to Pei Si.
Then he started egging them on: "It's such a long night, so boring. How about we have a game? Let's see who wins between the two of them."
Without a second thought, Pei bet on the tiger cub.
"A05 will definitely win."
Pei Si was very confident: "If he can't win, I'll eat shit while standing on my head!"
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
What should I do? I suddenly feel like helping that little spider.
Having worked under him for so many years, Pei Si knew his true character all too well.
Seeing him pause like that, he immediately became alert and said, "If you cheated, you'll eat shit."
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
Xie Chiyuan: "How can you be so uncivilized?"
Xie Chiyuan reluctantly abandoned the idea of cheating, and then placed his bet: "I also think A05 will win."
Pei Si: "?"
Pei Si: "What else do you need to write?"
Pei Si: "Didn't you just go on and on, saying that the little spider had a gloomy temperament and looked like a yandere?"
After writing a long and detailed description of so many spiders, why did they still bet on A05 when it came time to place their bets?
Xie Chiyuan looked at the message and chuckled.
He leaned against the tent, lazily typing: "Faced with absolute power, even if this spider is a madman, it has to suppress its madness."
A05 is the most useful aberration alongside A01, and his strength should not be underestimated.
What's more, this time it also involves Qiuqiu. A05 only arrived today, a little later than Xie Chiyuan had estimated.
Pei Si chatted with him for a long time, but when she looked back at the chat history, she realized that they were talking about nothing of substance.
Talking about these things instead of sleeping is a complete waste of life.
Pei Sitong, deeply distressed, immediately cut off his internet access and lost contact with others.
Xie Chiyuan didn't care; he was still waiting for the outcome to be decided not far away.
Hmm.
The outcome is easy to determine, but the real excitement comes after Xiao Qiu wakes up.
Time passed little by little.
Xie Chiyuan yawned as he waited, but they still hadn't returned.
Thinking about A05's combat power, Xie Chiyuan suddenly shuddered and stood up from where he was.
He stared into the distance and muttered to himself, "No way?"
A05 won't be too rough and kill that little spider, will it?
He keeps watch at night, and if the little spider dies, he won't be able to escape responsibility.
Chapter 164
Xie Chiyuan wanted to be a gossip, but he didn't want to become the gossip himself.
He grabbed a flashlight and chased after the tiger cub in the direction it had just left.
In an open space.
The wild grass, growing unchecked, was splattered with blood; it was impossible to tell whose it was.
The enormous tiger growled as it looked at the spider on the ground, blood still clinging to its claws.
“I allow you to stay by his side, but I won’t allow you to forget your boundaries.”
Although Chiu Chiu has long since reached adulthood, he is still naive and only wants to make good friends.
Tiger Cub never objected to Chiu Chiu making new friends; he was happy to see those friends make Chiu Chiu happy.
However, he would not allow anyone to have a possessive desire for Chiu Chiu.
"Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself, or I'll eat you up."
The tiger cub's threat was never empty talk; he was telling the spider in front of him—
If he ever harbors any more thoughts of possessing Qiuqiu, or any other filthy desires, he will surely devour him.
"I do want to have Chiu Chiu all to myself, but I don't have the dirty thoughts you're talking about."
The little spider, covered in blood, slowly stood up.
He has been trying his best to become stronger, but he still has no chance of winning against A05, just like before.
Their eyes met, each harboring the deepest hostility towards the other, yet maintaining a subtle peace.
The little spider wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily.
The oppressive feeling emanating from A05 had almost seeped into his very bones.
But the little spider showed no fear.
He simply explained his thoughts about Chiu Chiu in a low voice.
“I only have one friend, Chuchu. He is the only one in this world who will never despise me. He says the silk I spin is strong and beautiful, he says I am not a useless piece of trash, and he says I am the most beautiful spider he has ever seen.”
The little spider's eyes gradually darkened, and its voice became slightly hoarse.
"A05, do you think I, a low-sequence aberration variant, mean nothing to you?"
“You high-sequence aberrations will always be high and mighty, except for Chirp.”
In the research institute, there were far too many aberrations of the C sequence. A tiny spider with the C sequence was even more insignificant and insignificant.
Only Qiuqiu cares about him, and he only wants Qiuqiu to stay by his side, to watch over him, and to care about him.
This feeling was not mixed with any love or desire, but only with his obsessive possessiveness.
A05 frowned as she listened to his words.
"I don't care what you think, just shut up."
A05 could have easily killed the spider, but considering the tears that would surely fall when Chuchu saw the spider's corpse, he spared its life.
Just as they were still standing there, Xie Chiyuan finally found them.
Upon seeing the blood on the ground, Xie Chiyuan's mind was filled with two words: It's over.
So much blood must be coming from the wound.
Even if the mutant has the ability to heal itself, it is impossible for it to recover completely in just two hours.
The injury won't heal within two hours, but the sun will definitely rise within two hours.
When the sun rises and it gets light, Yu An and Qiu Qiu will wake up.
Xie Chiyuan felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.
His focus was on Spider-Man, since Tiger Cub couldn't possibly be the one who got injured.
"Liu Liu, how are you?"
Xie Chiyuan, who arrived late, spoke with some concern. He wanted to check on Little Spider, but the latter refused.
"I'm fine."
