Pausing for a moment, Luke continued, "Many of your family and friends died in their mouths. So, you don't have the strength to underestimate them. They're still monsters that can kill you with a single bite. "
His words were harsh, but they were the truth.
He had to maintain morale just now, and didn't dare attack the residents verbally.
But powerful reinforcements had arrived, and he had to calm them down.
Staying low and surviving was the most important thing.
Otherwise, why had they run and fought so hard just now? Just for the sake of dying in vain before dawn?! It wasn't worth it.
"Now, check your weapons, pick them up, and stay alert. I can tell you that the spiders that died earlier were probably only half of them. Only by defending the shopping center will you be able to survive tomorrow. Do you understand? "he said in a slightly louder voice.
"Yes, sir," some of the residents replied in a scattered voice.
Luke said, "Louder. Are they the only ones who understand?"
"Yes, sir." Everybody finally replied in a jumble.
"Are you dead? Do you want to deal with those spiders in this state? Answer me louder, "he roared.
"Yes, sir!" The residents finally roared at the top of their lungs.
The pressure from Luke's scolding just now also dissipated.
Luke nodded with a gentle smile. "That's good. Everybody, I hope that I can walk out of here safely with you tomorrow morning! "
After that, he got up and went downstairs.
When he passed by Selina, she had a questioning look in her eyes. Luke glanced around and said in a low voice, "These guys aren't mentally stable. Suppress them with the vigor you showed when you took down the Carlos family's gunmen in Shackelford and make them listen to you."
Selina smiled and punched him in the chest. "Don't underestimate me, little brother Luke."
Amused, Luke went down to the first floor, where he saw Samantha shouting anxiously, but the residents weren't listening to her at all. They were rubbing their fists excitedly, as if they were about to charge out of the shopping center and fight the spiders outside.
Luke raised his hand and fired.
Bang!
Everybody fell silent.
They weren't fighting here, and no one was wearing earmuffs.
Although the gunshots on the second floor were noisy, they were separated by a large distance, so it wasn't that ear-piercing.
The deafening sound of the M500 revolver made everyone's ears ring.
Luke did exactly what he had done on the second floor, and belittled these guys just like he had done on the second floor.
Then, he expressed that if there were brave warriors who were not afraid of death and wanted to fight against the spiders, he would immediately help them.
How could he help? Of course, it was thrown from the window on the second floor.
For heroes who were unafraid of death, Luke would also give them sharp weapons like harpoons or machetes so that they could show off their bravery in front of the townsfolk.
The hall immediately fell silent.
Humans were a herd animal, especially in a crisis like this.
Once someone started to make a ruckus, everyone became bolder as well.
Once one or a few idiots were singled out and made to act on their own, it was guaranteed that they would be killed instantly without any hesitation.
Looking at the residents, Luke said, "If you really want to help, you can go up to the second floor. Quite a few people there can't even hold their guns steadily anymore, but they're still fighting. If you want to protect yourself and your family, you can prove yourself, instead of encouraging us to do stupid things together. "
He then raised his voice and said, "Samantha, later, arrange for those who are willing to come up and help. Have them come up in batches to replace the guards upstairs. Remember, don't let anyone who's bad at shooting or cowardly come up. "
Samantha nodded, but she knew that those who were still hiding here weren't very brave, even if they were good at shooting.
Only a few people were exceptions.
For example, Samantha was a female sheriff who looked soft on the outside but was tough on the inside. But her children were here, and it was easier for her to appease the townsfolk as the sheriff, so she couldn't leave.
Luke returned to the second floor and observed the situation outside.
The entrance to the shopping center was open, and it was easy for the spiders to gather, but it also made it easy for the FBI's helicopters to fire at them.
After a few rounds, only one or two giant spiders occasionally popped up at the entrance. They were no longer a threat.
He quickly arranged for some of his men to go to the stairway to the basement to help Chris set up the fortifications and guard the place.
While he had blocked the entrance to the underground parking lot with his truck, nobody knew how many more black widows were inside, and they had to be defended.
After making the arrangements, he said a few words to Selina and quickly left through a window.
The townsfolk on the second floor found it hard to believe. What was this fierce young detective up to this time?
Luke climbed up the protruding cracks in the wall that they couldn't see and went all the way to the third floor.
His Sharp Nose detected that there were no longer any spiders on the roof.
After the two helicopters cleaned the area a few times, they began to gradually expand their attack range. Under the guidance of the searchlights, the spiders jumped up and down one by one, but they could not escape the fate of being shot by the machine guns.
Luke called back the number he had used earlier. "Charles, I'm going to start rescuing the townsfolk in the area that you've cleared. Be careful with your machine guns. Don't hit me."
Stumped for a moment, the fake Charles said, "Luke, that's too dangerous. Why don't we do it together after we're done cleaning up the area?"
Luke said, "Don't worry. I'll keep a distance from you. We'll start cleaning up the area around the shopping center first." He then hung up.
He mumbled to himself, If you kill all the spiders, I won't get the experience and credit points for rescuing the townsfolk!
Now that the fake FBI agents were cleaning up the spider army that Luke was most wary of, he could totally use the opportunity to rescue the townsfolk around the shopping center.
With his Sharp Nose, he could easily find the hiding spiders and townsfolk, and was even more efficient than Cheney's team.
Saving one person was worth twenty experience and credit points. That was a good business.
In the next two hours, Luke searched the area on his own.
Half an hour later, the two helicopters plowed through all the visible spiders on the ground. Naturally, it was much less dangerous, and the agents in the helicopters came down to help with the search.
Luke simply asked Charles for four agents to work with him.
That way, he was only responsible for finding the townsfolk and killing the spiders.
Taking the rescued townsfolk out was a time-consuming job for the agents who accompanied him.
