Chapter 16

when it caught Cole I knew we had limited time some of those from the spider hunt try to attack it from within to no avail as the weapons bounce off, and I begin looking for anything that is even close to a weapon desperately looking around at the recently made furniture to no avail, least till I see brownie and get an idea as I start rushing over as Cole is desperately trying to have the spider move off yelling as I make it over to her

"brownie! give me your sword!"

"What!? you know these won't do anything from what we just saw?"

"I just got an idea, please!"

while brownie is unsure of what my plan is, They relent giving me the weapon and wishing me luck as I start speeding over as luckily the spider seems to struggle with its movements from the weight of the armor while just its leg just lightly on Cole is causing them massive pain, it intentionally put weight on its leg there would be no saving him as I rush out the door as I see Cody glance at me with his analyzing eyes As I go from the door to the ceiling of the base the spider notices so with its struggling movements it tries attacking me with another leg, looking like it's pulled by its own weight as I just barely dodge it slamming down

as I make a quick jump onto the slammed-down leg and hold onto it like it's a trunk, as I start climbing up its leg as fast as possible, as it shakes its leg as it also slams another limb of its as struggles to avoid the hits and also climb the shaking leg as I hold on for dear life the only saving grace is how slow its movements are as I soon reach where I need to the area of its body and its eyes As I do something stupid, I take a leap of faith into its multiple eyed face as it seems to have been moved by the surprise off Cole

as Cole while still in pain, quickly gets up as they start to rush over to inside the building as I cheer them on, only for the spider to do in a quick succession that I never saw it do till now other than when chasing to the base, slap me off its face and slam me into the top of the building as blood spills from my mouth because of the impact as I quickly roll away when it tried to attack again as I start rushing away from if it to the other side with an entrance as Cole is safe now as it starts to climb on top of the base to chase me as I continue to dodge its swings to me

as I quickly jump off the roof and enter the base just before it stomps me into a paste. as it slams onto the base in frustration I breathe in heavy breaths feeling lucky to be alive at this moment as the thing strikes to have a limb into the door just after Cody closes it causing a slamming noise from the spider's limb, as we soon continue to hear it about trying to enter the base

then sudden silence

as we hear footsteps from outside and a knock as the door seemingly opens on its showing Wolf

" seems that you all had a massive event, don't worry however, it has been, dealt with, we will collect the body of the new kind of spider, and maybe make a new armor set, so apologies to all those that have to deal with this event all those in participation will get an extra 10 points and for the group that was on this quest as well, 10 more points for, each, of the spider quests, that is all, I hope you all a wonderful rest of the day, and goodbye"

as the door closes again it seemed to have acted by itself, as some like the muscle couple, I think, go out to check and then a female voice exclaims in a small surprise

"the entire corpse is gone of the thing, all I see left is a good bit of green blood splatter, and looks as if it was vacuumed, and a note to the spider quest getters"

as others soon head out to see just that, making some reactions of either relief, or nervousness, and a very few trying to figure out how it disappeared as I managed to go up and look at the note

"from, wolf, since this team has managed to bring attention to issues of security, even by accident, like said before an extra ten points for each spider killed, I already got the spider's corpses so no worries, so enjoy your 30 point venture becoming a 50 point one, no worries we know who was at the quest, that is all"

after I read it I gave it to Chris who while giving a small sigh at not getting another sample they are still glad things went well as they look over to Cole getting bandaged up by the man of the muscle dou and Brownie as help

" true things did get better, and we got 60 points in one day"

" true, and before the event, we are already near done with the base so new items will be on sale since furniture is a thing and I think the last tower has a shell now"

"what about the rainwater thing?"

as Chris nods

" that's true, I'll check on it real quick "

as they go off, I do as well heading toward the exit of the base to get to cook, to get the last piece or technically pieces of armor which is the head and arms as I soon see them, setting up their table and papers again

"Hello again, what made you leave"

I say almost not sounding like a joke

"it's fairly obvious, don't worry all your team has already been written down and points ready, you here to buy the last piece due to the influx"

" you bet I am"

" Alright then, just so you know the helmet covers the whole head, and no worries that wouldn't be a problem"

that confused me a bit but I nod in agreement as they right what I wanted to get then go over and knock at the elevator the hatch opens and they place the paper in

"apologies if this is slower than normal, you just decided to go to a shop the moment a normally terrifying event has come and passed on the same day"

"well, what about you then?"

"because it's my job"

as the compartment opens from the elevator showing something that clearly looks like a robot head, even with a visor

"you, sure I can fit my head inside? it looks like it will have all the wires and metal"

"no worries it will fit also in case you might not notice"

as they put on the helmet and press a button showing their expression as small lights( think the murder drones visor acting as eyes) making me a bit baffled looking at it

"Can you really, see through that?"

"no worries you can, it acts as a full helmet of protection, as well as not restricting your sight all that much"

as they soon hand the arms and the helmet for me to put on as I can still see pretty well through the visor, with the reader only the lights do anything, and even then I can turn it off immediately

"so, does this thing need a charger or something? cause I'm sure the lights would need"

"no, and before you ask, even I don't know"

"right then"

as I get my arms on and feel like I look like a weird robot I look straight at Cook and turn the lights on again

"Since the base is almost finished what will be the new products once it is done?"

"the new weapons and add-ons for the armor, that is it"

"ok! just checking!"

as I soon go off back to the base to help finish this quest as I see that the rain machine is thankfully OK and not destroyed, I go up to the others to fill in the towers with the chair and big binoculars to see into the distance in the middle of the room as the entrance was at the back, as afterward I'd go to Brownie after getting her sword again to give it back as we finish the spikes in the trench till the day ends, and only the water machine is left to do

as we all get ready for sleep the next day at our beds I feel strangely great having been a part of such a project, sadly it was a project for the 7

we soon get up as most of us are ready to put all hands on deck to finish the machine as the groups combine to finish the machine and get the new weapons, and points, and mostly, to get off the surface with spiders large enough to just crawl over the walls

we get to Cook's shop to get the food and for the team I was a part of, to finish their armor sets, now we as a group look like weird robots, ent and the thin dou kept theirs off while the others turned them on as I did, it was a bit weird seeing an expression from lights but it's also neat as I finish off my meal as well as others, as we begin the work on the last piece to finish the base

the machine is strangely difficult to put together it's so big it makes sense to be outside, and the machinery inside is so intricate I and multiple others have no clue, though Cody, and Chris, along with others like, ent, are doing well, as I and other are in charge of assembling the whole thing, while they work on the more detailed pieces

and though it could be a bit it only till the middle of the day, compared to what we all have done before on just this mission it, wasn't actually that much, as Cody explains that it takes the rain then closes up as it separates the acid from the water, as it drops it into the spike trenches the acid would hide the spikes, and the water will be put through plenty of filters until it's in a tank inside that can be taken out for needs

as after we finish we do a little celebration though some started to go back to the moving city we stuck for one last night just resting and talking to each other that this mission is finally done till the day ends
