Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 185 Weapons
The tragic scene in the corridor immediately caught the eyes of Wei Jun and others. After a brief moment of shock, some members of the mutual aid society showed expressions of extreme fear.

The scene was too tragic and so close to them, they were afraid that they would be the next to be affected.

Their first thought was to run away, so they called the security guards around them to help, and then began to look for a way out in a panic.

In addition to the rolling door in the front, this factory building has two very obvious side doors on the left and right sides. Because of the presence of fighting spiders on one side, the battle was still going on there, so they all chose to run from the other side.

After all, this group of people were Wu Yi's students, and they were very fast. None of them took the stairs. They all jumped down from above and ran towards the side door. It didn't take long for them to reach the exit.

But at this moment, a huge vibration sound came from above the passage, and then a figure jumped down from above, stood in front of them with a bang, blocking the way ahead.

Chen Chuan swung the long blade in his hand, slowly raised his eyes and looked at all of them. For a moment, everyone stopped running forward and slowly retreated.

"Chen Chuan, if you dare to kill us, you will die too!" A member of the mutual aid association threatened in a timid manner.

Chen Chuan said calmly: "When you kill others, have you ever thought that you might die too?" He slowly raised the knife and held it horizontally in front of him. A cold light seemed to flow slowly on the blade.

The next moment, his eyes reflected the rapidly passing scenes, the rapidly changing angles, and the sharp slashing blade light. After all this stopped suddenly, he appeared behind the group of people, and behind him, there was no one who could be called complete.

On the high platform, Wei Jun did not choose to run down from the upstairs with these people. As the organizer of this trip, he knew all the entrances and exits of this place clearly. There was also an aisle behind the factory building that could lead directly out, but the problem was that they might not be faster than Chen Chuan.

So he had no choice but to retreat to a safe room not far behind him. At the same time, he said viciously to the two men in black robes who followed him: "Your ritual didn't work. You must take responsibility, otherwise you know the consequences!"

The two men in black robes looked at each other, pulled out a scimitar from their waist, and walked outside.

Wei Jun immediately called on the mutual aid association members who were still around him to retreat into the safe room, and closed the special steel door. The moment the door closed, the gunshots and screams outside disappeared.

One person was shaking and said in horror: "This guy is crazy, crazy, he actually dared to attack us..."

Wei Jun's hair was all messed up. He had no time to think about whether Chen Chuan was crazy or not. He had to save his own life first! He urged, "Where's that thing? Take it out!"

Several security guards who followed in hurriedly took out two large boxes from a cabinet on the wall and placed them in the middle.

Wei Jun said anxiously: "Jiang Wei, what should we do?"

Jiang Wei was the calmest person present. He squatted down before leaving, first flicked the buckle with both hands, then pulled hard to unlock it, and said, "I got this thing from Molan Company. This is my first time using it, but even if I can't kill Chen Chuan, I should be able to stop him for a while. We can evacuate as soon as possible. Once we get outside, we can mobilize enough people to kill him."

The person on the other side urged, "I know, I know, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up, hurry up."

They had no idea how long the people outside could hold on. The sight of Chen Chuan raising his sword and slashing away, leaving a field of broken limbs and bodies in an instant, really scared them.

Jiang Wei turned the code a few times and heard a click. He then opened the lid of the box, revealing a thick white package bag, about half a meter square, which seemed to contain something.

He picked up a tube of high-energy nutrient needle embedded in the side of the box and stabbed it into the things inside. After pushing all the nutrient solution in, he felt a slight tremor at contact, and he quickly stood up and stepped back.

At this moment, there was a "swish" sound, and the thick package was torn open by two sharp blades extending from the inside. Something inside stretched its body and slowly stood up.

When the people in the room saw it, they all involuntarily retreated to the wall. It was a giant mantis that was bluish-gray in color and had an almost metallic texture.

Its strong jaw was contracting and expanding at this time. As the spiracles in its abdomen opened, the modified trachea delivered sufficient oxygen to all parts of its body. Its vitality was revived, and its pair of bulging compound eyes stared at everyone in the room. The knife-like feet in front moved slowly, and a dangerous aura suddenly emanated from it.

Jiang Wei said: "The fighting mantis is a biological combat weapon that Molan Company bought from a certain company. This thing should be able to entangle that person for a while."

"No, there is another box here. Come on, put them out together." Someone urged from behind.

Jiang Wei ignored him. He first made a few command gestures to the fighting mantis, and waited for it to slowly restrain its fighting posture. Then he walked to the front and squatted down to fiddle with another box.

"It'll be fine soon."

In the area outside the factory, after Chen Chuan cleared out another group of people, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and saw two men in black robes walking towards him.

These two people seem to be mirror images, symmetrical on both sides, and each of them has a face printed on their clothes. If these two independent faces are put together, they look like a relatively complete face.

This was somewhat like an abstract expression of the strange story he had just seen. It seemed that these two people were related to the esoteric rituals around them.

The two men then separated to the left and right, and then rushed towards him from two directions. It seemed that their pace and rhythm were consistent, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly.

But... the speed was too slow. He raised the long blade in his hand slightly, and with just one slash to the left and right, the two heads flew out from their necks, and then the two bodies fell to the ground almost at the same time. Except for the different directions, even the postures of falling and the blood sprayed were almost the same. Of course, in the end, this was not intentional by the two people, but the result of his knife power and angle control.

He shook the blade and looked towards the other side of the factory. There had been some screams and howls coming from there just now, but there was no movement now.

In the area in the middle of the factory, he had cleared out all the people he could see, but he knew that there was still a group of people who retreated into the room above at the beginning.

But whether they run or not, it makes no difference. Unless someone who can keep up with his speed comes to stop him, otherwise, in this short period of time, no matter how far these people run, he can catch up in a short while, and it won't take him long at all.

He thought for a moment and made a gesture. The fighting spider lying on top of the factory building immediately crawled out quickly and laid spider silk at the entrance on the opposite side.

Although the high strength of spider silk can only last for ten minutes at most, and then it can be blown away by a gust of wind, this time is enough.

Holding the Xuejun Knife, he walked up the metal stairs next to him, then walked along the metal plate passage, step by step towards the room where Wei Jun and the others were hiding.

However, when he was about to approach that place, he suddenly noticed something, stretched out his Xuejun Knife and blocked it. There were two clangs, and then he saw something swooshing out.

He turned his head and saw that the thing was resting on a metal railing. It was about half a meter long, with a triangular head, a slender neck, and a flat body. A pair of huge knife-shaped capturing feet in front were facing him. The tips of the hooked feet under its belly occasionally rubbed against the steel, making a metallic friction sound.

His eyes moved, "Mantis?"

But given the size of the mantis and the speed it just demonstrated, it is obvious that it is also a biological combat weapon.

Moreover, there is more than one...

He could sense that there was another mantis moving in the shadows, waiting for its opportunity.

In the safe room, Wei Jun heard the security guard outside come back and tell him that Chen Chuan had been entangled by the fighting mantis, and he immediately ran out: "While that guy is holding us back, let's get out of here quickly."

A group of people here also rushed out and ran out in a hurry following him.

As Jiang Wei walked out, he thought for a moment and threw an uninjected high-energy nutrient tube to the ground far away. It shattered with a snap, and the high-energy nutrient solution inside flowed all over the ground.

No one understood what he meant, and he didn't have the mood to explain at the moment. It seemed that Chen Chuan did not come alone, and he seemed to have brought something similar to a fighting mantis. These kinds of things rely on high-energy nutrition to move around. Although they may not be attracted to this thing, there is no harm in trying.

The group of people ran very fast. In a short while, they arrived at a long and narrow corridor, and at the end of the corridor, they could see a red-painted steel door. That was the exit!
A member of the mutual aid society ran over impatiently, but after only a few steps, his head and body suddenly and silently broke into several pieces and scattered on the ground in front of him.

"This is……"

The people behind were all startled and quickly stopped.

Jiang Wei took a look at the broken edges, looked around, took a knife from the security guard next to him, and tried to scratch it a few times. He gritted his teeth and said, "There is a gap. We can get through."

Everyone looked at each other. Jiang Wei glanced at them, adjusted his glasses, tightened them a little, and said, "I'll go first, you follow me."

He first lifted one foot and slowly stepped over, then bent down and slowly crawled through, and finally moved the other foot over. When he got here, he tried with the knife again and saw that there was still space in front, but it seemed that there was only a gap below, so he lay on the ground and slowly crawled forward, and soon he had moved some distance away.

Seeing his success, the people behind him followed his example, taking off their weapons and items and climbing forward.

In the factory area, two fighting mantises were staring at Chen Chuan. They had their own way of fighting, and would not attack him proactively. If Chen Chuan showed any intention of attacking them, they would immediately retreat. If he showed any intention of leaving, they would follow him and look for an opportunity to attack.

Chen Chuan's eyes moved. These two mantises were indeed a bit tricky. Although he was not afraid of them, it would take a long time to get rid of them. Although their speed was not as fast as his, they could fly, move regardless of the terrain, and cooperate with each other.

But after all, it is just a biological weapon. Without anyone in command, it will only follow a stereotyped attack pattern.

He slowly raised the knife, and then... closed his eyes.

The two mantises followed their own attack pattern, and almost at the moment he closed his eyes, they jumped up together, and their blade-like feet slashed at him from both sides!

At this moment, Chen Chuan took a deep breath, and the Honglu Breathing Method suddenly started working for a moment. A force quickly surged into his body, and then he spun and slashed on the spot, and a flash of knife light flashed!
Two mantises leaped over him on both sides respectively, and while still in the air, their bodies slowly slid apart, leaving two cuts that split them diagonally from top to bottom. The two halves of the body fell to the ground one after another, and the liquid tissue inside them flowed out, while the limbs and the separated body were still twitching there.
