In fact, Luke's storage space was filled with plenty of magazines and bullets, but since he had the time, he certainly didn't mind doing a good job of covering up the situation.
If a fight really breaks out afterwards, will anyone come to count whether he fired ten or twenty magazines, or be able to tell which bullet was fired by him
Afterwards, Samantha took the two of them to a hotel in the town, next to a fast food restaurant.
The two were very satisfied with this arrangement; it couldn't be more convenient with one-stop food and accommodation.
After booking a room in the hotel, the two went to the fast food restaurant next door to eat.
Hiding in the corner, Selina asked quietly, "Is it a big problem?"
She knew Luke too well, and by connecting many small details, she could infer that he was not in a relaxed mood.
Luke took a bite of his burger and looked at the town outside the window: "I'm not sure, but it's always better to be careful."
Selina nodded: "I know, otherwise why would you book a standard room? Are you afraid that spiders will attack me in the middle of the night?"
Luke nodded: "You slept so soundly, it's not impossible that you were caught by a spider in the middle of the night and taken into the cave."
Selena was speechless.
Suddenly, they saw many townspeople walking towards one place, including many people in the store.
Luke watched for a moment, then went to the counter and asked the waitress.
The waitress was a middle-aged woman, and she answered without much concern, "They are going to the town meeting. Wade is going to use that nonsense again, asking everyone to sell their houses and land quickly."
Seeing Luke's puzzled expression, the waitress seemed to understand his doubts: "You are not from here, I have never seen you. Wade is the mayor, a damn capitalist vampire."
Luke smiled and thanked him, then turned around and went back, but he was muttering in his heart: Didn't you guys elect him? Now he is still doing well as the mayor, which means that Wade is not without supporters, otherwise he would have been recalled by the townspeople long ago.
After knowing what this was, Luke and the others had no interest in getting involved, so they washed up and went to bed.
However, when the innkeeper's wife saw the two men coming back into the house, her expression was very rich, as if to say "youth is so beautiful".
The next morning, Luke and his companion went out and headed to McCormick Mining Co., Ltd.
This company is the largest mining company in the town.
But after the death of its owner, Mr. McCormick, a few months ago, the company has entered the countdown to bankruptcy and liquidation.
The company is currently being managed temporarily by McCormick's sister, Gladys McCormick.
When I walked into this so-called company and pushed the door open, the bell on the door made a crisp sound, telling the owner that someone was coming in.
In fact, this is just a small bungalow. Luke saw an old lady in her fifties holding a cigarette, typing away without looking back, and said, "We are not hiring anymore."
Luke laughed, and was about to say something when a black and white French bulldog that had been squatting next to the old lady ran over, bit his trouser leg, and shook its head, growling softly, looking very fierce.
Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He motioned Selina to talk to him, and then he squatted down, held down the naughty little kid at his feet, and started stroking him wildly: "Oh, are you a hellhound? Your attack is so sharp!"
The little guy started out by threatening in a proud manner, as if he disliked his hand, but soon he felt so comfortable after being tickled that he lay down on the ground with his belly exposed.
Luke smiled and picked it up, continuing to tickle its belly and chin as he walked.
The old lady over there saw it and felt a little embarrassed: "Bruce is a little naughty, but he won't really bite you."
Luke smiled and nodded. "I know, Ms. McCormick. It's a good kid who just wants someone to play with it. Right, Bruce?"
The black and white French bulldog purred comfortably in his hands, squinting its eyes and looking very content.
This old lady is Gladys McCormick, the temporary manager of the mining company, but she will soon lose this position because the company is about to go bankrupt.
The two men came to see her, naturally, because of the matter of the mine in the mountain.
The holes they found last night dug by giant spiders may lead to the mines.
Only those who have relevant knowledge know how dangerous unfamiliar mines are.
You may get lost, water seepage, landslides, gas, or even explosions at any time. If you rashly enter an unfamiliar mine, you may die quietly and your body may not even be found.
Of course, he came to the mining company to ask for information about the mine, including a map of the mine and various dangerous places, so that he could find the spider's nest in it.
Compared to the small caves he discovered yesterday, which might have been dug by spiders, the mine was undoubtedly safer. At least Luke could fight in it.
Hearing the purpose of the two people's visit, Gladys frowned: "Although this company is going to close down, my brother said that he found a new vein there, so..."
Luke and Selina looked at each other, feeling helpless.
It’s not that the old lady is stingy.
The mine owned by McCormick Company was originally used for gold mining. It is possible that the deceased old man left some clues in the information.
That could very well be a huge fortune.
Luke did not try to convince the old lady. If he were in her position, he would have the same concerns.
As for the giant spider in the mine, who would believe it? This is not a horror movie.
The two of them could only say goodbye, and Luke put down the crying monster in his hand: "Goodbye, Bruce, I'll bring you a big bone next time, okay?"
Bruce was darting around at his feet, and only went back reluctantly after Gladys called him twice.
After coming out, Selina looked at him: "What should we do now?"
Luke: "Look for Samantha. The residents trust her very much. After all, she has lived here for 38 years. Her words are much more effective than those of two strangers like us."
When I went to Samantha's house, I saw a somewhat handsome middle-aged man standing in front of her door, talking to the beautiful sheriff.
Samantha was holding a bouquet of wild flowers that had obviously been freshly picked.
Luke stopped the car far away, not intending to disturb other people's sweet moment.
Selena was standing by and said enviously, "Oh, no one has given me flowers for a long time."
Luke smiled but said nothing.
After the man left, Luke and his partner drove over and greeted him at the side of the car: "Hi, Samantha, you look great today."
Samantha had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a much better mood than yesterday. When she saw the two people coming, she invited them into the house.
Luke and the others didn't have the time for that, so they told them that they wanted information about the mine and also explained Gladys' attitude.
