A glaring splash of bright red splattered onto the cold iron railing.
Immediately afterwards, more spiders swarmed forward, like piranhas attracted by blood, instantly engulfing the soldier. The crunching sound of bones being chewed and the rapid chewing of flesh by metal mandibles could be clearly heard.
Steve's eyes instantly turned red.
Those eyes, which were always as blue as the sky, now seemed to be filled with scalding magma.
"Do not--!!!"
What came out of his throat was no longer a human roar, but the most sorrowful and furious roar of a lion!
Reason? Tactics?
Everything was burned to the ground!
Like an angry blue comet, he was the first, and the most resolute, to plunge headlong into the swarm of deathly spiders! With each swing of his vibranium shield, he cleaved a trench of metal fragments and sparks through the spider swarm.
"Ouch——!!!"
Logan reacted only half a beat too late. An even more primal and ferocious roar exploded from the depths of his throat, three pale bone claws already extended, and he transformed into a whirlwind of death, even more insane than Steve, completely abandoning his defenses, letting the spider's claws tear open wounds on his body that healed in the blink of an eye, tearing everything in front of him to shreds in the most savage way!
Chu Hang's mind went blank for a moment, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Seeing those two clueless guys who plunged into the strange group without saying a word, his anger suddenly flared up, but was immediately extinguished by a bucket of ice water.
This isn't a fight, it's a tower defense game on hell difficulty! Both of our main DPS/tanks have turned into berserk AIs that only know how to "Action the ground," and he's the only player still conscious! If this keeps up, forget about rescuing anyone; all three of them will be worn down and killed by these endless tin cans!
Someone has to be this damn commander!
"Captain! Block the door! Don't let them in!" Chu Hang roared at Steve's retreating back with all his might. "Logan! Clear the left side! I'll take care of the right side!"
This roar finally pulled Steve, who was on the verge of a killing frenzy, back to his senses. He turned around abruptly and saw even more spiders swarming in through the doorway, instantly understanding Chu Hang's intention. He sprinted back to the doorway, his vibranium shield slamming into the ground with a loud bang, its towering form like a mountain, firmly blocking the doorway!
Logan didn't reply, but roared and turned to the left, beginning a more efficient slaughter!
The tactics worked!
Chu Hang took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as lightning, locking onto his right! There, spiders crawled all over the iron door of a cell, and inside, a soldier was holding his head, muttering about the Virgin Mary.
Chu Hang's figure flickered, appearing like a ghost at the cell door!
He ignored the spiders on the door, and his hands, like two red-hot iron pincers, shot out with lightning speed and grabbed the gnawed and pitted bars of the prison door!
With his feet planted against the wall, his muscles bulged like coiled dragons, his combat suit creaking under the strain! The berserk power of the super soldier serum roared wildly through his veins!
"Open it for me!!!"
He gritted his teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the depths of his soul!
Crunch, crunch, crunch—!
Amidst the piercing, metallic shrieks, the prison door, crafted from special steel and deeply embedded in the concrete wall, began to deform and twist inch by inch under his sheer brute force! Concrete chunks and steel fragments shattered and flew everywhere, stinging his face! His palms were ground raw and bloody, and the muscle fibers in his arms snapped inch by inch under the strain, but the golden warmth from his self-healing factor followed closely behind, repairing and regenerating at an even faster pace, giving him an almost perverse pleasure that teetered between destruction and rebirth!
In the prison cell, the soldier stared blankly, as if he had seen a god descend!
He forcibly tore the prison door off the wall!
But he didn't throw away the piece of scrap metal.
Instead, he swung the heavy iron door, weighing hundreds of pounds and with the remains of several crushed spiders still hanging on the frame, like wielding a giant fly swatter, and slammed it down hard on the mechanical spider that was lunging toward the cell's opening!
boom--! ! !
The spider, along with the concrete ground beneath its feet, was instantly smashed into an unrecognizable pancake!
Holding the broken iron gate, Chu Hang resembled a demon god emerging from hell, his chest heaving violently, his breath like scalding steam. He turned to look at the stunned soldiers in the cell, grinning to reveal a set of teeth stained red with gunpowder.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said in a hoarse voice, but with an undeniable force, “I’m here.”
After saying that, he erected the iron gate in front of him, forming a temporary shield covered with spikes to block another wave of spiders.
boom! boom! boom!
The continuous impacts made his hands go numb.
To passively take a beating? That's for fools!
"piss off!"
With a roar, he swung the iron gate with both hands, sweeping it forward in a wide arc like sweeping away trash! The heavy iron gate, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, traced a deadly semi-circle! All the mechanical spiders that blocked its path exploded instantly, like being hit by a train, scattering into countless parts!
With a single sweep, a clearing was created in the fan-shaped area in front of him!
Chu Hang's spirits soared, like a player who had obtained a bug-level artifact, he wildly wielded his "ultimate weapon"! Smash! Sweep! Slap! All were basic physical exorcisms! For a moment, he, alone, with just a door, actually withstood a swarm of spiders from an entire direction!
But that wasn't enough! More spiders were surging in from the depths of the tunnel, an endless stream! On the other side, Logan was going berserk, but his cutting speed couldn't keep up with the spiders' speed of destroying the base!
We must get them moving!
"Hey! You bunch of cowards! Listen to me, you fucking bastards!" Chu Hang roared with all his might as he swung the iron gate wildly, "Do you want to die standing up, or live on your knees!"
The sound was like thunder, rolling past the ears of every soldier.
"Look at yourselves, you cowards! Are you even soldiers? Where's your guts? Did Hydra sell you off as scrap metal? Your families are waiting for you to come home, and you're just going to stay here and become a pile of spider shit?!"
"If you want to live, you fucking stand up! Grab whatever you can get your hands on! Broken iron bars! Stones on the ground! Even your teeth!"
"Follow me! Fight your way out!"
Every word was like a slap in the face, burning hot against the soldiers' cheeks! The will to survive, the fear of their comrades dying tragically, were completely ignited by Chu Hang's arrogant roar!
"Fuck you!"
A burly man with a face covered in blood was the first to rush out of the cell! In his hand, he was clutching an iron pipe that he had just broken off the bed frame!
"Count me in!"
"Kill all these metal monsters!"
One, two, three... more and more soldiers rushed out! Their eyes no longer held despair, but rather the madness and ferocity born from being driven to the brink!
A "beggar's version" suicide squad, made up of remnants of defeated soldiers, was put together in just over ten seconds!
"Alright! Two people per group, guard the breached cell! Smash down any spiders that try to crawl in!" Chu Hang roared.
The soldiers roared in unison, instantly relieving the pressure on Logan's side. The defenses of the entire prison area miraculously held!
Chu Hang took a deep breath, mechanically waving the iron gate while his serum-enhanced brain was working at supercomputer speed.
Something's not right. These spiders' movements are too predictable. Attack, retreat, encircle… This isn't wild beasts, it's an army!
To catch the thief, first catch the king! As long as we find the "commander" who is giving orders from behind the scenes and take him down, this battle will be over!
His hearing instantly switched modes, like a highly precise sonar, beginning to filter and sift through this noisy ocean of sound waves, selecting a special, regular high-frequency signal!
His gaze instantly sharpened like that of a hawk, rapidly scanning the chaotic black ocean before him.
The gaze passed over the frantically charging "soldiers," extending deeper into the darkness of the battlefield.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply!
At the very back of the swarm, in an inconspicuous corner, lay a peculiar spider, nearly twice its size, with a dark golden hue on its exoskeleton! It didn't move, but the antenna-like antenna on its head was flashing an eerie, rhythmic red light! With each flash, the entire swarm's attack would subtly adjust!
In that instant, all the chaos, flames, and screams vanished from Chu Hang's eyes.
In his world, only that dark golden figure in the corner remained.
A chilling killing intent rose from the depths of his heart.

Chapter 41 Take it down!
Chu Hang's gaze pierced through the flames and flying parts, locking onto the depths of the spider swarm.
There's a different kind of spider there.
It was smaller than the surrounding soldiers, and its entire body was dark gold. It remained motionless, its eight long legs supporting it on the ground, like a general inspecting his troops. Only the single eye on its head glowed red, turning the entire cell blood red.
"Found it," Chu Hang thought to himself.
My brain raced, filtering out all the noise on the battlefield—screams, explosions, the scraping of metal.
He detected a high-frequency buzzing sound.
A control signal.
The source of the signal was that dark golden spider. It commanded all the spiders' movements; they were not independent individuals, but its minions.
Catch the thief first to catch the king.
"Steve!" Chu Hang roared, his voice drowning out the explosion.
“Speak!” Steve’s response was a single word. He used his shield to firmly block the doorway, preventing the swarm of spiders from rushing in.
"There's a commander in the spider swarm! The dark gold one at the very back! Take it down, and these things will be useless!" Chu Hang spoke incredibly fast. "Clear a path for me! Five seconds!"
Steve did not hesitate.
“Logan!” he roared. “Left wing, tear a hole!”
"Roar--!"
Logan, who had been hacking and slashing on the left flank, raised his head, a glint of fanaticism flashing in his blood-red eyes. He liked this kind of command.
The next second, he lurched forward, heading straight into the densest swarm of spiders.
His bony claws extended, tracing deadly arcs through the air. Each swing brought with it a piercing metallic tearing sound and blue sparks. He was like a meat grinder, carving a path through the sea of spiders.
The pressure on the left flank increased dramatically, but the pressure eased as Steve defended the middle lane.
Steve roared and abruptly pulled back his shield. The swarm of spiders piled up at the doorway instantly found an outlet and surged in.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and hurled the vibranium shield in his hand!
The shield collided with the first spider, initiating a series of ricochets. Each ricochet precisely struck a spider's joint or sensor before launching it towards the next target.
The spider swarm was thrown into chaos instantly.
A path to the Spider King appeared, though it was fleeting.
By the time Steve shouted, Chu Hang had already moved.
He pushed off the ground and sprinted towards the wall, his feet flying across the vertical surface. Gravity seemed to have no effect on him.
Everything around slowed down.
