The shopping center was a very suitable vantage point, and there was a straight road in front of it. Four sniper rifles and a small drone that rose up in turns were enough for the agents to control an area of several hundred meters.
The rescue operation lasted until the early hours of the morning. After all the survivors were rescued, Luke returned to the shopping center, exhausted.
Before he returned, he pulled Agent Charles back as well. He found the map of the mine in his car and marked a location. "This is the cave where the unknown substance is stored. According to the manager of the mine that I rescued, there's a super big guy and a lot of smaller spiders in there. "
Agent Charles was refreshed. That was why they had come here tonight.
He hadn't asked Luke earlier because, firstly, they couldn't search the mine with all their strength until the remaining spiders outside were eliminated.
Secondly, he didn't think that Luke would know the specific location of the unknown material. After all, it was an unfamiliar mine, and Luke had only been here for two days.
Little did he expect that Luke would directly find out the specific location.
After Luke told him about the relationship between Gladys, her nephew Chris, and the old mine owner, Agent Charles couldn't help but sigh.
It really felt like fate had arranged this.
Gladys had refused to hand over the map of the mine, because it was her brother's lifelong career.
Chris, however, had given Luke the map, which allowed Luke to rescue Gladys.
So, good things came to good people?
Hearing Agent Charles's sigh, Luke murmured inwardly, You're right! Of course, the good things were yet to come.
After that, Luke went to the shopping center and found Selina, only to find her yelling at the residents to set up a suitable place to rest on the second floor.
The spiders hadn't been completely cleaned up yet, so they couldn't let the residents go home.
Even in the shopping center, they had to arrange for people to rest and guard their positions, in case any spiders slipped through and killed them.
Luke watched them quietly for a moment, before he went downstairs with a smile. He found the bathroom and cleaned himself up before he found his car.
Thankfully, he had the foresight to ask Selina to park the car on the side.
Apart from a few scratches, the car was basically undamaged or polluted.
Many of the townsfolk had parked their cars at the entrance of the shopping center in panic, which was now completely drowned by all kinds of spider corpses and disgusting fluids.
Luke didn't even need to look to know that there had to be a lot of bullet holes in the cars, which would cost a lot of money to repair and wash the cars.
The premise was that the townspeople had a chance to get the cars back.
If there were any problems with these spiders, the car might have to be destroyed.
Luke, who had lost a car in Laquin, knew this very well.
Luke took out a box from the fridge in the car, put the Napoleon cake inside, and quickly went upstairs.
He patted Selina, who was still commanding the townspeople, and gestured at the box in his hand. "Please take a break, Detective Selina."
Selina turned her head, looked at the big box in his hand, and immediately smiled.
This was their exclusive food box. Its appearance basically represented delicious food. She swallowed her saliva reflexively when she saw it.
She reached out to open the lid.
Luke dodged her hand. "Go wash your hands, okay? I washed my hands several times to get the cake for you. "
Selina glared at him angrily and obediently went to wash her hands.
Luke followed her all the way and watched her wash her hands and face, before he gave her the box. "The FBI will take care of the rest. I've already told Charles. Let's take a break. The FBI will be here tomorrow, and they'll be asking questions for a long time. "
Selina nodded. "Where are we sleeping?"
Luke had already scouted the environment. "There's an unused utility room in a corner on the first floor. I've checked it. It's made of cement to ensure safety, and it's some distance away from the lobby. It's a good place to sleep. "
Selina laughed. "Haha, that's great …"
As they talked, they went to the utility room.
Selina was even more satisfied to see that there was an inflatable tent in the utility room. "We don't have to sleep on cement? That's great. Right, where did you get this? "
Luke had a sorrowful expression on his face. "The late Wade, the former mayor, dedicated himself to us. He had a camping store here."
Selina shrugged. "That's a shame. I'll pray for him in the morning."
Luke nodded. "Yes, thank him for his kindness and generosity, if there's nothing wrong with him."
Selina was curious. "What's wrong with him?"
Luke said, "I think the giant spider incident probably had something to do with Mayor Wade, but your acting isn't good enough. But your acting isn't good. I'll tell you the details after we leave this place. Now, finish your food, brush your teeth, and go to sleep. "
Selina nodded. She wasn't as anxious now that she knew the situation.
She yawned and hastily brushed her teeth with mineral water, before she fell asleep in the tent.
Laughing, he straightened her in her crooked position, and lying down on a blanket by the door, he too fell asleep.
Luke only slept for two hours before he woke up. This was his current routine.
Elementary Self-Healing was worth having, since he could work hard every night without any damage to his body.
After he got up, he called Agent Charles, but he couldn't get through to him.
Setting up surveillance cameras in the room, he closed the door and asked one of the fake FBI agents, only to learn that the reinforcements had arrived, and that Agent Charles had already led a team into the mines.
Luke lost interest the moment he heard that.
This was a job that could only be done by the fake S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Luke would only be annoying if he was too proactive.
More and more residents showed up in the shopping center. The four hundred residents who had escaped in the beginning, plus the hundred that Luke and the fake FBI agents had rescued later, made up to six hundred people here.
According to Elizabeth, there were almost a thousand permanent residents here. It seemed that the other hundreds had all been killed.
It was already midnight, but the place was still rather noisy.
Some were sleeping soundly, some were sobbing quietly, some were dazed, and some were pacing back and forth. All kinds of people could be seen in them.
The beautiful sheriff was still busy.
She had to keep the unstable residents calm, keep the situation under control, and make arrangements for their accommodation and drinking water.
It should've been the mayor's job, but Mayor Wade had come all the way here to kill himself. She could only take care of it with the few surviving government workers.
But with Chris' help, she wasn't alone.
Luke greeted her and said, "Samantha, you can take a break. Chris can keep an eye on things. Right, Chris? "
