Luke shook his head with a smile and gestured at Samantha. They walked away and asked, "Samantha, did you call Lisa?"
Stumped for a moment, Samantha slapped her forehead. "I forgot."
Luke comforted her. "It's fine. I'll call her tomorrow morning and tell her about the situation. She'll only feel better if she hears your voices. So, get some rest and call her in the morning, okay? "
Samantha nodded. "Thank you, Luke."
It was a simple sentence, but her expression was complicated. There was gratitude, relief, fear, and happiness.
If her eldest daughter hadn't pestered her into agreeing to Luke and Selina's help, it would've been hard to say how many of her family members would've survived last night.
Samantha knew that almost half of the town's population had been killed when she saw that there were only about six hundred residents here.
Thankfully, her children were fine, or she would've collapsed.
Luke nodded with a smile. "Got it, but you should thank Lisa more. She risked being scolded by us to ask for our help. You have a good daughter! "With that, he left.
It was only three in the morning, so it wasn't a good time to contact Los Angeles. He would ask Selina to talk to them tomorrow morning.
He was very familiar with throwing the tedious report to Selina.
After talking to Samantha, he checked the shopping center again and collected all the equipment that belonged to him.
He didn't want the fake FBI agents to take them away, such as the alloy wires and the cameras.
The agents were still busy searching the mines and rescuing the residents, and hadn't cleaned up the scene yet.
It was a good opportunity for Luke to clean up the mess.
After that, he walked to the entrance of the shopping center and nodded at the two fake FBI agents. "Don't worry about me. I'll just take a look here."
The two of them simply nodded and continued to keep an eye on the outside.
The shutter had already been raised, and the French glass doors of the shopping center had a wide view of the outside world.
In the sky above the town, a helicopter was circling. Occasionally, it would fire a few shots to clear the giant spiders that appeared sporadically.
Teams of agents were patrolling the town to search and rescue to see if they could find any more hidden survivors.
Luke shook his head and didn't look anymore.
The town was about to close down in the first place. After this incident, a lot of the residents might move away.
However, there might still be a chance. Thinking about it, Luke returned to the utility room.
When he opened the door, Selina was still sleeping soundly in the tent.
Luke sat on the blanket and checked his harvest tonight.
Saving a resident was worth 20 experience and credit points. After his hard work last night, he had saved almost two hundred residents, and earned 4,200 experience and credit points.
The other miscellaneous experience and credit points added up to more than 300.
His total income was more than 4,500 experience and credit points, which was worth his hard work last night.
Being a good person always paid off! Luke was all smiles.
The next day, when the sun had just risen, batches of townspeople were sent to the buses that had just arrived. All the townspeople had to evacuate to the temporary settlement in Wintersburg next door. They wouldn't return until Boom Town was completely cleaned up.
When they arrived at the temporary settlement in Wintersburg, the survivors were questioned by the investigators who had been waiting for a long time. They told them everything that happened last night.
Luke and Selina were the first to be interviewed, and they were also the ones who had been questioned the longest.
Luke basically told them what had happened truthfully. It was on file with LAPD, and Elizabeth's birthplace was also clearly stated.
The two fake FBI agents were also very polite.
They had seen Luke risking his life to rescue people from the shopping center while they were still clearing the remaining spiders in town.
After several hours of arduous fighting, Luke rescued dozens of residents.
Heroism was the main theme in America, and very few people didn't like it.
Of course, if they died the moment they appeared, they would only be a name in the casualty report, and would be easily forgotten.
At noon, Luke and Selina finally finished the interrogation process.
He also asked the agent if he could leave.
The agent immediately made a phone call and said a few words, before he said with a smile, "Detective Luke, you and Detective Selina are free to leave at any time. However, we'll bother you again if we need to in the follow-up investigation. "
Luke thanked him with a smile. "That's fine. We're in Los Angeles anyway. You can find us at any time."
They ran into Samantha when they came out.
Luke thought for a moment and greeted her. "Samantha, are you done with the interrogation?"
Samantha looked exhausted. "It's over."
Luke said, "That's good. We're going back to Los Angeles today."
Samantha was surprised. "You're leaving now?"
Luke nodded. "Since you're safe, we've accomplished our mission. We can report to Elizabeth when we get back."
Samantha was a little embarrassed. "Thank you so much."
Luke chuckled. "You're welcome. You already said that. Right, why don't you come to Los Angeles with us? "
Samantha shook her head. "There's still a lot to do here …"
Luke waved his hand. "Samantha, things aren't as simple as they seem. If everything goes according to plan, Boom Town will be locked down for a while. Instead of idling here, why don't we go to Los Angeles for a few days? After what happened last night, don't you think Elizabeth should see you in person to reassure her? I called her in the morning, and she almost took a flight back. "
Samantha hesitated. "But …" She turned to look at Chris.
Luke smiled. "How about this? I think Chris is a good guy. Why don't we go to Los Angeles with him for a few days? There's something I need to talk to him about."
Samantha found that odd. "What is it?"
Luke simply replied, "It's about the mine."
Samantha didn't say anything, but went over to talk to Chris.
They walked over together, and Luke gestured for Chris to talk to him. "Chris, can your mine still work?"
Chris shook his head with a bitter smile. "The FBI told me that there's a spider nest inside, and we can't go in until they've cleared it out. It'll take at least a month or two."
Luke nodded. "Why don't you go to Los Angeles with Samantha? I also want to talk to you about the mine. "
Thinking that Luke was just being polite, Chris quickly shook his head. "No, thanks. I'll stay here."
Luke patted his shoulder. "Chris, even if the FBI unlocks the mine, will you be able to mine it again? As far as I know, your mine isn't doing very well. "
Chris smiled bitterly.
