Chapter 136: It doesn't have to be packaged so well
Ai Wanxin had already vaguely guessed her plan.
She did not comment, but just listened to Yang Jici in silence: "Since I was devoured by this spider and merged with it, I can feel that my consciousness as a human being is becoming more and more blurred day by day. Not only have I lost my human body, but soon, I will not even be able to retain my human thoughts."
"In this competition with natural evolution, I lost."
"The nature of living things is to reproduce and hunt. When my consciousness as a human disappears, it may cause unpredictable harm to the people around it. And you, because of me, can't kill it."
"So I can't go back to human society."
"But I have some very important information that I need to pass on to my colleagues at the Academy of Sciences. Could you please help me?"
Ai Wanxin listened quietly and nodded, "Go ahead."
Yang Jici smiled with relief, and she said slowly: "Around the end of August, I observed that the energy field near the earth was distorted. That night, a meteor shower that had never been detected or predicted appeared in the atmosphere of Yan Country."
Ai Wanxin's ears twitched slightly. Meteor shower in late August?
"I thought it was very strange, so I spent the night analyzing where these sudden meteors came from and where they landed, and finally found several places with the strongest energy radiation."
"Maple City is one of them."
"So I brought my favorite students and rushed to Fengcheng day and night, hoping to obtain first-hand information."
"To be honest, I even fantasized about the honor I might get if I solved this mystery."
She chuckled and continued, "After arriving in Fengcheng, I found that most of the energy radiation disappeared. I panicked at the time, so I took the students into the mountains without being fully prepared. As a result, we encountered a rainstorm and were trapped in this desolate mountain."
"Their parents handed their children over to me, but I failed to bring them back safely. I feel so guilty and regretful, but there is no way to make up for it."
"Wanxin, the first thing I want to ask of you is to take Xinxin and Xiaoxuan out. Although they also merged with the spider, they won and retained their human form and consciousness. As long as they don't tell others about their experience, they can still return to normal life."
Ai Wanxin wasn't actually sure about what she said, because she had never coexisted or merged with animals in her previous life, but she didn't make too many assumptions about the future. Since they were conscious now, she would just focus on the present.
Seeing her nod, Yang Jici said gratefully, "Thank you, Wanxin. There is one more thing I would like to ask you to pass my will to my daughter. My inheritance is not rich, but I want to sell it all as a little compensation to the child's parents."
Ai Wan thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to be so burdened. You don't know that the world outside is also in chaos, with floods and zombies running rampant. Even if your students don't go into the mountains with you, they will still mutate."
Yang Jici shook his head, and the big spider also shook its head.
"Just think of it as me trying to ease some of the suffering in my heart. Financial compensation is just the most insignificant compensation I can make."
"Okay, I promise you." Ai Wanxin did not mention that money is completely worthless now, nor did she mention that your daughter's life or death may be in danger.
Even if she had never experienced it, she knew that most mothers in the world loved their children, and there was no need for her to make things difficult for a mother at this time.
"The last thing is about my discovery."
"I don't know if this meteor shower is related to the abnormal climate and strange biological evolution on Earth. I was too selfish before, afraid that others would get the results before I published my article, so I didn't share the information I obtained with anyone."
"Now I want to make this information public so that other scientists can continue to study and explore, and look for a ray of hope for humanity."
The big spider's head twitched, and it vomited out a palm-sized metal square box from its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Immediately, spider silk spurted out from the tail of the big spider, and its knife-like forelegs wrapped the metal square box like weaving a scarf, forming a ball covered with spider silk.
The two claws lifted the ball into the air, and Ai Wanxin had no choice but to catch it.
There's no need to package it so well, she thought with tears in her eyes.
"This is the encrypted data of my research results. The decoder is in my laboratory at the Glorious City Academy of Sciences. My iris is needed to open the decoder."
After saying that, the giant spider raised its two front paws and stabbed the tips of its toes fiercely into Yang Jici's eye sockets.
"Hmm——" She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
Ai Wanxin opened her eyes slightly, and even this man who usually killed people without blinking an eye was shocked by the scene before him.
The big spider dug out Yang Jici's right eye and hooked the bloody eyeball in front of her.
Yang Jici reluctantly said, "Please keep it and take it back to the Academy of Sciences together with the storage device. I will also make my research results public for scientists around the world to study. This is also a small remedy I have made for my own selfish desires."
Ai Wanxin's brain was working at high speed.
Can the dug-out iris be used?
"Don't worry. Strictly speaking, the iris will not disappear after a person dies. When I designed the laboratory, I had already taken into account the possibility of accidents. So you can open my decoder with this eyeball."
There's really no reason to refuse.
Ai Wanxin had no choice but to take the eyeball, which was still dripping with warm blood, in her hands.
Yang Jici looked at Ai Wanxin's somewhat conflicted expression with affection. His gaze seemed to fall on her, and also seemed to pass through her body and fall on a distant place.
"Wanxin, my daughter should be about your age. Her name is Yang Yuqiu. If you find her, please help me tell her that mom loves her very much."
After saying that, the giant spider turned its front legs over, inserted them fiercely into its own abdomen, and dug a bright red crystal core out of its body.
The crystal core passed through the gaps in the spider web and fell straight into the bottomless abyss.
Yang Jici's eyes gradually dimmed, and she whispered her daughter's nickname softly: "Qiuqiu..."
Then, the four pairs of long legs of the giant spider suddenly lost strength, and its huge body collapsed on the spider web.
"teacher--"
"Teacher!" Lin Xin and Tan Xuan, who had not walked far, called out to their teacher who was like a teacher and a mother to them. They quickly climbed back to the spider web along the mountain wall and lay on the belly of the big spider, crying bitterly.
"Chirp——" The little fox that had been acting as a light in the air suddenly made a sound to warn.
Ai Wanxin looked up and saw countless spiders of various sizes slowly poking their bodies out from the holes on the mountain wall.
