Chapter 309 - Eliminating the Black Widows

Luke could tell that it was the two residents in the basement who were yelling for help.

They were the only people who had a walkie-talkie.

Luke rose quickly and ran to the basement, activating the walkie-talkie. “Don’t panic, I’m on my way. What’s going on over there?”

The walkie-talkie was quiet for a moment. Then, the residents yelled in panic again. “Spiders! A lot of spiders are coming from the underground parking lot! They’re chasing as!”

Luke said calmly, “Retreat to the stairs. I’m coming to get the both of you.”

He was already on the first floor, and made a beeline for the basement.

Despite his calm expression, his heart was a little heavy.

The residents had been able to hold on in the shopping center because the spiders at the entrance didn’t have a real leader. They were basically relying on instinct, and were drawn here by the gunshots.

Rather than say that they were besieging the shopping center, they were more like a bunch of pests.

However, the spiders in the underground parking lot could break this fragile balance, and the traumatized residents in the shopping center could crumble at any point.

He ran ten meters through the basement and around a corner to meet the two frightened residents who had been watching the mining opening. Shocked, they stumbled to a halt when they saw Luke.

Luke reached out to pull both of them behind him. “Wait for me at the foot of the stairs, and don’t go up to the first floor.”

Even as he spoke, he was already opening fire with his M4A1.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Two giant black widows that had been chasing them closely were blown back.

Luke pulled up the gas mask hanging around his neck with his left hand and then reached into his pocket as if he was looking for something, when he was actually extracting the raw materials to make tear gas from his inventory.

He also took out a small plastic explosive which he had set up earlier, and then stuck it to the jar of raw materials.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fully opened fire and blew up the black widows in the hallway, clearing a path for his throw.

Luke then threw the jar into the center of the swarm of black widows, and it landed more than ten meters outside the storeroom.

Ducking behind a corner, Luke swiftly switched to the detonation interface on his fake phone and found the corresponding detonation number before pressing the button.

Bang!

After a small explosion, white smoke spread out in the hallway.

It was chaos in the hallway, and the black widows scuttled around frantically.

They were very sensitive to tear gas, but without gas masks, they could only crawl about randomly in the smoke.

Luke in fact didn’t like this situation, because tear gas also hugely affected his Sharp Nose.

But this was an emergency, and he couldn’t blow up the hallway, so tear gas was the most cost-effective choice.

His M4A1 trained on the turn in the hallway, Luke slowly backed away as he spoke into the walkie-talkie. “Samantha, have Chris bring me a gun. I’ll wait for him at the bottom of the basement stairs.”

Chris arrived in less than two minutes with the very M4A1 which Samantha had borrowed from the gun store.

Luke was lost for words. Something was definitely going on between those two! The beautiful sheriff had given the lifesaving weapon to her lover.

Roasting them in his heart, Luke took off his gas mask, nodded at the two residents, and said in a low voice to Chris, “Watch those two and don’t let them go back up to the first floor; things might get out of hand if word spreads that a lot of spiders have shown up here.”

Chris immediately understood.

Luke said again, “You two, defend the stairs with Chris and don’t shoot randomly. I’m going to eliminate those spiders.” Saying that, he put on his gas mask again and walked into the hallway, which was gradually filling up with smoke. Chris couldn’t help but say, “Luke, it’s too risky. Let’s just defend this position.”

Luke turned to look at him and shook his head. “We don’t know where these spiders came from. It’s too dangerous. I need to force these guys to retreat. Relax, I’ll be fine.” As he spoke, he had already disappeared around a corner.

When he was out of Chris’s sight, a revolver suddenly appeared in his hand, and he put it into a special holster on his thigh.

It was a Smith & Wesson M500, known as a hand cannon.

Few revolvers were more powerful than this gun. It was one of the most classic models.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The M4A1 fired at regular intervals, blowing up the enormous spiders that were struggling in the smoke one by one.

Walking through the hallway enveloped in smoke, Luke glanced into the storeroom when he passed by, and there were no signs that the tunnel entrance had been disturbed.

According to the two residents, the black widows had emerged from the underground parking lot. It seemed that they weren’t making it up.

At the end of the hallway, the smoke was a lot thinner.

Beyond that was the underground parking lot.

It wasn’t large, but was still a lot more spacious than the narrow hallway. The smoke that came out of the hallway dispersed here, and was no longer a threat to the black widows.

Luke immediately saw a bunch of giant spiders wandering around restlessly outside the hallway, not daring to charge into the smoke.

Smiling, Luke lowered the M4A1 and drew out the M500.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Outside the hallway, almost ten black widows in three straight lines exploded at the same time.

Their bodies obviously weren’t very solid, and in the face of the hand cannon which had a caliber of 12.7mm, they exploded like balloons full of water.

Bam! Bam!

Seizing the opportunity, Luke shot at the spiders twice again.

Quite a few of the spiders blew up. It was a complete mess.

Shaking his head, Luke reloaded the M500 and put it back into the holster, before he raised the M4A1 again.

There were too many black widows outside. An automatic rifle would be more convenient for dealing with them.

Of course, it would be better if he had a machine gun… But Luke couldn’t use any since it would be impossible for him to explain how he had one.

Taking advantage of the tear gas and the terrain, Luke went on a killing spree and slaughtered the spiders outside.

A moment later, most of the black widows subconsciously stayed away from the hallway entrance, giving Luke a better look at the situation in the parking lot.

The underground parking lot’s metal roller shutter seemed to have been twisted and bent out of shape by some enormous force, leaving behind a huge hole.

The black widows were pouring through this very opening

Luke quickly took out a 20L barrel of oil from his inventory and opened the top.

While firing his M4A1, Luke quickly moved away from the hallway until he reached a medium-sized van, tilting the barrel to leave a trail of oil behind him.
