Luke objected decisively: "I suspect the spider's nest is inside the mine. If we take everyone in, we might just be sending food to their mouths."
Samantha was surprised. "But Wade ran away from there. He also worked in the mine before, so he must be familiar with the terrain there. This guy is very cunning, maybe this is his escape route."
Luke thought for a moment, but still disagreed with her opinion: "If Wade really knew that the giant spider appeared, he would not stay in the town. If he went out to hide for a few days and came back, everyone would be dead by then, and there would be no resistance for him to sell the town. The fact that he is running away now shows that this may not be the retreat he prepared in advance."
Samantha was still a little unwilling to give up, mainly because many townspeople around her were asking her to find a way to escape, and the large group of spiders outside put too much psychological pressure on the townspeople.
Luke said, "Well, I'll go in and take a look at the situation first. If there is a way out, I'll come back and inform everyone."
Samantha hesitated: "Isn't this... too dangerous?" It was really too much to let Luke take risks for a group of unrelated townspeople.
Luke laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lisa asked me to come here to solve the problem. I know my limits."
He has a keen sense of smell and can easily follow the scent of Mayor Wade. He can also detect the scent of those spiders in advance, so the danger is not as high as imagined.
Luke went upstairs and pulled Selina over to tell her that he had installed surveillance cameras on the rooftop and that her special "mobile phone" could also view the surveillance footage.
In addition, he had just found a hidden place and taken out a batch of bullets from the storage space. There were nearly a thousand bullets of various types in total. He put them in a big bag and handed it to her.
The townspeople had a lot of weapons, but on average they had few bullets. Many of them just grabbed a gun and started running for their lives, without even thinking about taking more bullets.
Now, several people were holding a batch of old guns brought by Deputy Sheriff Pete, and they also had few bullets.
Selina just asked Samantha to collect a batch of bullets from the townspeople on the first floor, otherwise the townspeople defending on the second floor would have to stand there and stare.
Let Selina distribute the bullets and remind her that if she really encounters a crisis, she must give priority to protecting herself.
Selina nodded silently.
She knew that he meant that in times of crisis, the other townspeople could be abandoned.
Luke said this to prevent her from being soft-hearted and getting herself involved.
After he said this, the scales in Selena's heart would naturally lean towards him.
Who is more important, the townspeople or Luke? The answer is self-evident.
Luke finished dealing with the matters on the second floor before going to the storage room.
Looking at a large cabinet that had been moved away in the storage room, revealing a mine cave inside, he only took a quick look at it for a moment and became suspicious.
This mine was not sealed. There was a guide rail under the large cabinet next to it, which was obviously something like a secret door.
Why did Mayor Wade leave a hidden door leading to an old mine in his shopping mall
Pulling out the Glock and holding it in his hand, he entered the mine and ran quickly in small steps.
Following the scent left by Wade, Luke's expression became strange as he ran, and he slowed down his pace involuntarily.
Is Mayor Wade... in a hurry to be reincarnated
He could already smell the scent left by a large number of spiders, and the direction Mayor Wade was heading happened to be where the smell of spiders was most concentrated. The mayor went straight to the spiders' nest.
After thinking about it, Luke put the Glock back into the holster first, and at the same time, he took out an alloy stick from the storage space.
This is the raw material for him to process equipment, and now it can be used as a cold weapon.
It's because there is gas near the spider's nest. If you open fire at random, you might end up killing yourself.
Even if he wasn't killed in the explosion, he would probably be buried alive, and Luke didn't want to do such a stupid thing.
He took out a gas mask and continued to move forward to a place. He couldn't help but take a deep breath through the gas mask.
This... should be the spiders' granary, right
Looking at the things wrapped like cocoons everywhere on the ground, most of which were vaguely recognizable as human figures, Luke felt heavy in his heart and quickly went forward to check.
After a moment he was sure that these people were basically dead. It was difficult for them not to suffocate after being wrapped in thick spider silk. Mayor Wade, who had traveled thousands of miles to deliver his life, was also one of the victims.
Luke used his five senses to find the survivor and used a dog-leg knife to cut the spider silk on the face of one of the cocoons, revealing an old face.
The person wanted to shout, but Luke had already covered her mouth and said in a very low voice: "It's me, Luke, I'm here to get you out. Don't make any sound, okay? Gladys."
This old lady was Chris's aunt, Mrs. Gladys.
She was lucky that the spider silk that wrapped her did not completely cover her nose, leaving a small gap that allowed her to survive.
Luke also noticed a small callus on the side that moved slightly from time to time.
Holding the flashlight with his mouth, he cut off the small cocoon and the surrounding spider silk, stuffed it directly into his backpack, and wanted to get up.
Suddenly, he paused.
Luke squatted down again after straightening his legs slightly, and picked up a small piece of ore on the ground where the spider silk had just been cut.
This is obviously a ore that has just collapsed from somewhere. The cross-sections are very new. Perhaps it was brought down from somewhere by those giant spiders.
Luke shone the flashlight on the ore for a moment, then quickly scanned the mine a few times, and finally looked at a cave that had obviously just been dug out.
A smile appeared on his face. He turned off the flashlight, carried Gladys on his back, put the ore in his hand into the storage space, and left the cave.
Luke walked a short distance, and Gladys, who was carried on his back, said in a very small voice: "When I was captured, I saw a pile of oil barrels not far away."
Luke was curious and asked in a very low voice, "What's the problem?"
Gladys: "I've seen that kind of barrel on the transport truck of the Witlow Company. At that time, I asked Mayor Wade, and he said it was cargo. But I noticed that there was no mark on the barrel."
Luke frowned, "Where are those barrels?"
Gladys: "Not far from the cave we were in, there is another big cave. There is a big spider in it, and there are many smaller spiders. They seem to use those barrels as their nest."
Luke raised an eyebrow: "Got it, you take a rest, I'll take you out."
After saying that, he didn't think about it anymore. He would tell the fake FBI team leader Wells later and ask him to investigate it together.
The two of them returned all the way, and Gladys was surprised at the speed of their advance, which was like a galloping horse.
Suddenly, two giant spiders rushed out from a fork in the road ahead.
