Luke quickly objected. "I suspect that the spiders' nest is in the mine. If we go in, we might be feeding them food."
Samantha was shocked. "But Wade ran away from there. He worked in a mine before, and must be familiar with the terrain. He's very cunning. Maybe this is his escape route. "
Luke thought for a moment, but still didn't agree with her. "If Wade really knew that the spiders were here, he wouldn't have stayed in town. He would've come back after hiding for a few days. By then, everybody would be dead, and he wouldn't be able to sell the town. If he's running now, it might mean that this isn't his escape route. "
Samantha was still unwilling to give up, mainly because the residents around her were asking her to find a way to escape. The spiders outside were too much for them to bear.
Luke, however, said, "How about this? I'll go in and take a look. If there's really a way out, I'll come back and let you know."
Samantha hesitated. "Isn't that … too dangerous?" It was too much to ask Luke to take risks for a bunch of unrelated residents.
Luke smiled. "Don't worry. Elizabeth asked me to come here to solve the problem. I know what I'm doing."
With his Sharp Nose, he could follow Wade's scent and detect the spiders ahead of time. It wasn't as dangerous as he thought.
Luke went upstairs and told Selina that he had installed surveillance cameras on the rooftop, and that her special "phone" could also be used to watch the surveillance footage.
In addition, he had found a hidden place and taken out a batch of bullets from his storage space. There were nearly a thousand bullets of various types, and he had put them in a big bag and handed them to her.
The residents had brought a lot of weapons, but they didn't have many bullets on average. Many of them grabbed a gun and ran for their lives, not thinking about taking more bullets.
At this moment, many of them were still holding the old guns that Deputy Peter had brought, which also didn't have many bullets.
Selina had asked Samantha to distribute some bullets to the residents on the first floor, otherwise the residents on the second floor would only be able to stand there and watch.
Luke asked Selina to distribute the bullets and reminded her to protect herself first in the event of a crisis.
Selina nodded silently.
She knew that he meant that she could abandon the other residents in a critical moment.
Luke said that to prevent her from getting soft-hearted and getting herself into trouble.
With his words, Selina's heart would naturally lean towards him.
It was obvious who was more important, the residents or Luke.
After taking care of things on the second floor, Luke went to the storeroom.
Looking at a large cabinet that had been moved away from the storeroom, revealing a mine cave, he only took a moment to examine it before he began to suspect something.
The mine was not sealed. There was a guide under the big cabinet, which was obviously something like a secret door.
Why would Mayor Wade leave a hidden door leading to the old mine in his shopping center?
Pulling out the Glock and holding it in his hand, he entered the mine and started jogging.
Following Wade's scent, Luke's expression turned strange as he ran, and he couldn't help but slow down.
This Mayor Wade … was he in a hurry to reincarnate?
Luke could already smell a lot of spiders, and it just so happened that Mayor Wade was heading in the direction where the spiders' scent was most concentrated — this mayor was directly heading for the spiders' nest.
Thinking for a moment, Luke put the Glock back into its holster and took out an alloy rod from his inventory.
This was a raw material for his equipment processing, and could be used as a cold weapon.
After all, there was gas near the spiders' nest, and he might blow himself up if he opened fire at random.
Even if he wasn't killed, he might be buried alive. Luke didn't want to do something so stupid.
He took out a gas mask and continued to move forward. He couldn't help but take a deep breath in the gas mask.
This … must be the spiders' granary, right?
Looking at the cocoon-like objects on the ground, most of which were vaguely humanoid, Luke's heart was heavy as he quickly examined them.
A moment later, he confirmed that they were basically all dead. It was hard for them not to suffocate after being wrapped in thick spider silk. Mayor Wade, who had come all this way to deliver himself, was one of the victims.
With his five senses, Luke found a survivor. He cut open the spider silk on one of the cocoons to reveal an old face.
The person was about to shout, but Luke covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "It's me, Luke. I'm here to get you out. Don't make a sound, okay? Gladys. "
The old lady was none other than Gladys, Chris's aunt.
She was lucky that the spider silk that wrapped around her did not completely cover her nose. There was a small gap, which allowed her to survive.
Luke also noticed a small cocoon that moved slightly every now and then.
Holding the flashlight in his mouth, Luke cut the cocoon off from the spider silk and stuffed it into his backpack. He was about to get up.
Suddenly, he paused.
Just as he was about to straighten up, he crouched down again and picked up a small piece of ore from the ground where he had cut open the spider silk.
It was clearly a piece of ore that had just fallen down from somewhere. The cut surface was very fresh, and it was possible that the giant spiders had gotten it from somewhere.
Luke shone the flashlight on the ore for a moment before he quickly scanned the cave. In the end, he looked at a cave that had clearly been dug out.
With a smile on his face, he turned off the flashlight, picked up Gladys, and put the ore in his inventory before he left the cave.
After Luke walked a short distance, Gladys, who was on his back, said in a low voice, "When I was caught, I saw a lot of things that looked like oil barrels not far away."
Curious, Luke asked in an equally low voice, "What's wrong?"
Gladys said, "I saw those barrels on Vitello's trucks before. I asked Mayor Wade back then, and he said that they were goods. But I noticed that the barrels didn't have any markings on them. "
Luke frowned. "Where are the barrels?"
Gladys said, "There's another big cave not far from that one. There's a huge spider in there, as well as a lot of smaller spiders. They seem to be using the barrels as nests. "
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Got it. Get some rest. I'll take you out."
After that, he didn't think about it anymore. He would tell Wales, the fake FBI captain, later and have him investigate it together.
On the way back, Gladys was astonished to feel that they were moving as fast as a galloping horse.
