Luke had no qualms about lying. Although he didn't know when Captain Wales' reinforcements would arrive, they should arrive within an hour after he made the call for help. Otherwise, it would be too humiliating for the FBI's 17th Division.
Twenty minutes had already passed. As long as Wales worked hard and sped up, there was hope that reinforcements would arrive in twenty minutes.
After all, Boom Town was only eighty kilometers away from Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, and could be reached by helicopter in half an hour.
Thinking that, Luke called Captain Wales.
The call went through. "Luke, what's the situation on your side?" Wales' voice was as calm as ever, but his question wasn't ambiguous at all.
Luke quickly said, "About four hundred residents have retreated to the newly built shopping center in town. They can still resist the giant spiders, but there are still hundreds of them scattered around town. Also, there's a mine under the shopping center that leads to a spider nest. The spiders inside have discovered us. I've collapsed the tunnel, but I don't think it'll hold for long. "
Wales quickly said, "Don't panic. We've already sent two helicopters and sixteen elite agents over. Also, we've notified the sheriff of the town next to Boom Town. They should be here soon. "
Luke was dumbfounded. "What?"
Wales could tell that something wasn't right. "What's wrong?"
Luke said, "More than two hundred giant spiders have gathered outside the shopping center, and there are a lot more in other parts of town hunting people. You're asking the police from the neighboring town to reinforce us? Do you want to feed them to the spiders? "
Wales said, "Sh * t! Why are there so many spiders? "
Luke said, "I don't know, but your sixteen agents better not be stupid enough to land in town, or I'm afraid they won't survive more than ten minutes. I just injured a giant tarantula whose legs were more than seven meters long. There's also a super big guy in the mine that hasn't come out yet. "
Wales said, "… You should've warned me earlier."
Luke said, "… Fine, it's my fault, but I can tell you some good news."
Wales asked, "What news?"
"Wade, the mayor, has a deal with a company called Vitello. He's secretly piled up a lot of barrels with unknown contents in the mine, and the big guy in the mine is there. Can you think of anything?" asked Luke.
Wales immediately understood. "Alright, don't destroy that mine. Wait for my men to go over. You must hold on. "
Luke chuckled. "Keep it up. I believe in you, Captain Wales. By the way, remember to send the town's sheriff back. "
After hanging up, Luke curled his lip.
With this bait, he was not afraid that S.H.I.E.L.D. would not be interested.
The unknown substance made by Vitello can turn a palm-sized tarantula into an elephant-sized monster. This thing is definitely within the scope of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation.
By this time a large number of men had brought boards and cables into the storeroom.
Luke looked around and ordered everybody to lock down the storeroom.
There was no need to completely seal off the area. He just needed to make it difficult for the giant spider to pass through.
Luke didn't expect these things to last long; he only needed to delay the spiders for a while.
If that didn't work, he would light a fire. There were a lot of flammable items in this shop.
After that, Luke left two men behind and gave them a walkie-talkie, telling them to observe the mine from the entrance of the storeroom.
Even if the spiders wanted to come out, they would be detected when they dug. Plus, the room was locked down with ropes and boards, so the two residents' safety wasn't a problem.
After that, Luke returned to the second floor.
Seeing him return, Selina was already waving at him.
Luke knew why she hadn't said anything over the walkie-talkie.
The residents were barely hanging on. They were on the brink of a crisis, but they hadn't collapsed yet.
If Selina cried out for help to Luke, the morale of the residents might drop first.
Without any hesitation, Luke pushed away the two residents who were at the window in the middle and started to take turns with his M4A1. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several giant spiders that had fled to the corner of the wall were blown up.
After taking care of the biggest threat, Luke stood in a standard stance and adjusted his breathing.
Feeling that he was in his best condition, he opened fire. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! …
The arrogant army of spiders suddenly caved in from the middle, as if they had been bitten by a giant.
Luke had no intention of stopping at all. After emptying one magazine, he reloaded another in his left hand. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! …
All the giant spiders within twenty meters collapsed.
"Selina." Luke called out to her before he fired the last bullet, before he threw the M4A1 at Selina.
Selina threw the M4A1 at him too, and they switched guns without any delay. Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! …
The residents around them all stopped shooting, because the targets they had just locked onto were suddenly gone.
Luke emptied his magazine again, and this time, he was much more relaxed.
He turned around and said, "Hey, not all the spiders are dead yet. Your guns can shoot more than thirty meters, right?"
Everybody came back to themselves and fired again.
Luke had killed all the spiders within thirty meters with a series of almost a hundred bullets. At that moment, the spiders outside were already filling in.
Selina reloaded and looked at Luke with stars in her eyes.
This guy was the coolest when he was shooting!
Luke retreated and asked the residents next to him to take his place.
Suddenly, he felt his backpack move, and he couldn't help but smack his forehead.
He opened the backpack and used a knife to cut open the cocoon-like thing. A small black and white thing began to whimper pitifully.
Luke patted the dog's head with a smile. "Haha, Bruce, you almost became a hellhound this time! Let's see if you can run around again. "
The little thing was Gladys's French dog.
It had probably been captured together with Gladys, and had probably been caught by the same spider that was less skilled, which had left a gap in its nose and mouth, which was why it had been lucky enough to survive.
Luke went downstairs and tied the little guy up with a rope, before he gave it to Gladys, who was still in shock. "You should feel better when you see it."
Bruce ran out of the cage and saw its master again, and rolled around in Gladys's arms in excitement.
Gladys said in a trembling voice, "Oh, Bruce, are you alright? That's great. "
Luke smiled at the reunion of the master and pet.
It was the only happy scene he had seen on the night of the disaster.
