In fact, Luke had plenty of magazines and bullets in his inventory, but since he had the time, he didn't mind doing a good job on the surface.
If a battle really broke out afterwards, would anyone be able to count whether he had fired ten or twenty magazines? Or would they even be able to tell which bullet was fired by him?
After that, Samantha dropped them off at a hotel in town next to a fast food restaurant.
Luke and Selina were very satisfied with the arrangement. It couldn't be more convenient.
They checked into a room at the hotel and had some food at the fast food restaurant next door.
Hiding in a corner, Selina asked in a low voice, "Is it a big problem?"
She knew Luke too well. Connecting the dots, she could tell that he wasn't in a good mood.
Luke took a bite of his burger and looked at the town outside the window. "I'm not sure, but it's never wrong to be careful."
Selina nodded. "I know. Why else would you ask for a standard room? You're afraid that spiders will ambush me in the middle of the night, aren't you? "
Luke nodded. "You're sleeping so soundly that it's not impossible for spiders to catch you and throw you into a cave in the middle of the night."
Selina was lost for words.
Suddenly, they saw a lot of residents, including many people in the hotel, heading in the same direction.
Luke watched for a moment, then asked the waitress at the counter.
The waitress was a middle-aged woman. She replied casually, "They're going to the town meeting. Wade's going to tell everybody to sell their houses and land again. "
Seeing Luke's confusion, the waitress seemed to understand. "You're not from here, are you? I've never seen you before. Wade is the mayor, a bloody capitalist vampire. "
Luke thanked her with a smile and turned around, but he mumbled inwardly, Wasn't it you who elected him? He was still doing well as the mayor, which meant that Wade had supporters, or he would've been removed from office a long time ago.
Knowing that, Luke and Selina weren't interested in getting involved. They washed up and went to bed.
However, the boss of the hotel had a rich expression on her face when she saw Luke and Selina enter the room, as if to say, "It's good to be young."
The next morning, Luke and Selina went to McCormick Mining LLC.
This company was the largest mining company in the town.
But a few months ago, after the owner of the company, Mr. McCormick, passed away, the company had entered a countdown to bankruptcy.
McCormick's sister, Gladys McCormick, was managing the company for the time being.
When he 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 had come in.
In fact, it was just a small bungalow. Luke saw an old lady in her fifties with a cigarette in her mouth. She typed without looking back and said, "We're not hiring anymore."
Luke chuckled. He was about to say something, when a black and white French bulldog that had been guarding the old lady ran over. It bit the hem of his pants and shook its head as it growled ferociously.
Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gestured for Selina to talk to the dog, while he crouched down and rubbed the naughty little kid next to his feet. "Oh, are you a hellhound? That's really sharp!"
The little guy threatened him proudly at first, as if it was disdainful of Luke's hand. But very soon, it was so comfortable that it lay down on the ground with its belly exposed.
Luke picked it up with a smile and continued to rub its belly and chin as he walked.
The old lady was a little embarrassed when she saw that. "Bruce is a little naughty, but he won't really bite."
Luke nodded with a smile. "I know, Ms. McCormick. He's a good boy who just wants someone to play with him. Am I right? Bruce. "
The black and white dog purred comfortably in his hands, and he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
The old lady was Gladys McCormick, the temporary manager of the mining company, but she would soon lose that identity, because the company was about to go bankrupt.
They had come to her about the mine on the mountain.
The cave that the giant spiders had dug out last night was probably a tunnel leading to the mine.
Only those who had the relevant knowledge knew how dangerous an unfamiliar mine could be.
They could get lost, leak, collapse, or even explode at any time. If they rashly entered a mine that they didn't understand, they might die silently down there, and not even their bodies would be found.
Naturally, they had come to the mining company to ask for information about the mine, including a map of the mine and the dangerous locations, so that it would be easier for him to find the spiders' nest.
The mine was undoubtedly safer than the small caves that the spiders had probably dug out yesterday. At the very least, Luke could fight in them.
Hearing why they had come, Gladys frowned. "Although the company is going to go bankrupt, my brother said that he discovered a new vein in there, so …"
Luke and Selina looked at each other helplessly.
It wasn't that the old lady was too stingy.
The mine in McCormick's company had been a gold mine in the first place. It was possible that the old man who had passed away had left some clues in the files.
It could very well be an astronomical amount of wealth.
Luke didn't try to convince the old lady. If he were in her shoes, he would have the same concerns.
Who would believe that the giant spiders were in the mine? This wasn't a horror movie.
They could only say goodbye. Luke put down the humming monster in his hand. "Goodbye, Bruce. I'll bring you a big bone next time, okay?"
Bruce squirmed around Luke's feet, and only reluctantly went back after Gladys called him.
After they came out, Selina looked at him. "What do we do now?"
Luke said, "Look for Samantha. The residents trust her very much. After all, she's lived here for 38 years. She's much more reliable than two strangers like us."
When he arrived at Samantha's house, he saw a handsome middle-aged man talking to the sheriff in front of her door.
Samantha was holding a bouquet of wildflowers that had obviously just been plucked.
Luke stopped the car far away, not intending to interrupt their sweet moment.
Selina said enviously, "Wow, it's been a long time since anyone gave me flowers."
Luke smiled but didn't say anything.
After the man left, Luke and Selina drove over and greeted Samantha. "Hi, Samantha. You look great today."
With a smile on her face, Samantha seemed to be in a much better mood than yesterday. When she saw the two of them, she invited them into the house.
