End of the Sky (Multiverse's End)

Driving back to Prosperity Town, when the evening was approaching, Russell and Chris came to the mine, preparing to arm the miners, but found no one there.

"Maybe they left work early, after all, it's not safe now..." Chris comforted himself.

There was no one in the office, and he called home, but no one answered. While worrying about Aunt Gladys, the announcer's voice came from the loudspeaker, calling on the townspeople to bring their weapons and go to the mall to gather.

Russell's heart skipped a beat. Today's mine is very different, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling. He didn't dare to procrastinate. He pulled Chris into the car and went straight to the shopping center.

On the way, I saw many residents rushing towards the shopping center with their families. If it was only Samantha, it would not be enough to call everyone to action, but police cars drove into Prosperous Town one by one, and opened the cordon , can not help but they do not believe.

At the entrance of the shopping center, a row of police cars with flashing lights lined up to intercept all vehicles. The police are dredging order and asking people to park their cars to act as obstacles and isolate the buffer zone.

The pickup truck driven by Chris was also stopped, but when Russell lifted the tarpaulin behind the car, revealing a full gun and ammunition, the pickup truck was released.

As soon as the car was parked on this side, a few policemen came to the other side, wanting to requisition the ammunition on the car. To be honest, the weapons on the car are definitely better for the police than the miners, but the guns and bullets did not fall from the sky.

The conversation between the two parties was not pleasant. Fortunately, Samantha arrived in time. With her as the middleman, an agreement was quickly reached. Russell generously allocated most of the ammunition to the other party and asked the police to move his ammunition into the shopping mall.

The researchers of the three teams were also in the mall, and it was precisely because they confirmed that spiders like to move at night that all the townspeople took refuge and gathered in the mall.

Residents of the small town were still arriving one after another. Russell looked at the huge three-story building and felt that it was not a good idea to gather nearly a thousand people together. The spiders will hit and attack here, and the pressure they will face will be more terrifying than the spider wave in the original book.

This is also a last resort. The incident happened too suddenly, and the number of police officers was insufficient, so it would be useless to disperse.

Russell took some stab-proof suits, found Ashley and Mike in the shopping mall, put them on, and found Aunt Gladys.

With a cigarette in her mouth, a double-barreled shotgun in her hand, and goggles, the old man swore to the people around her that she had hunted a bear with the gun in her hand before.

It sounds powerful, but it's useless, the speed of the spiders, especially the jumping spiders, is much faster than her reloading speed. As for the bear, Russell thought about the nearby landforms...it might be a raccoon!

The residents of the small town all brought weapons and spontaneously joined the defense line. There were various types of weapons, mostly shotguns and pistols. And the only weapons store in the town has been removed, and the owner of the gun store is also there, holding a revolver. This is his only weapon, but even so, he still does not forget to sell it to the people around him, compared to selling the last weapon.

Funny Bi is indispensable at any time, it is said that the enemy is a giant spider, and the number is huge, but there are still people holding chainsaws and baseball bats...

As for the research team, the young people snapped up pistols at the gun shop, while the old professors were much more fresh and refined, each with a camera or small video camera, waiting for the arrival of the spider. Another one is discussing with the police, asking whether it is possible to capture him alive, all for the sake of science.

"As expected of the country that is best at killing people, the heart is so big!"

【Ding】

[The host touches the chainsaw, which triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】

[The host touches the camera, which triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】

[The host has accumulated five lottery draws, do you want to draw now? 】

Three times out of five lottery draws were brushed on spiders,

Russell didn't think he could draw out any good things, so he kept them on the shelf, preparing to leave the mission world to draw again, and try his luck.

And these two draws...

Russell remembered that he got the old driver card, the god-level driver BABY, when he came into contact with the Ford F-150 before. The expiration of the character card left him with the permanent skill of "vehicle driving proficiency".

"System, start the lottery draw that has been triggered twice!"

Leaving aside the chainsaw, Russell felt that the camera would give him a character card. If it was a master-level photography skill, he would not reject it.

It's a pity that the reality is far more nonsensical than imagined. There are no character cards or skill cards, only two item cards that are worse than chicken ribs.

[Item Card: Rechargeable Chainsaw (As long as you open it, everyone will become very reasonable)]

[Item card: Digital camera (can save a lot of film money)]

Russell: "..."

What's the use of these two cards?

"Well, it's not useless at all, at least it can be carried into other mission worlds. After I finish fighting the spider, I'll take a photo of Ashley and send it to Black Widow when I go to Marvel..."

...

Russell found Samantha and asked about the general situation. The special forces would come by helicopter from Tucson, the second largest city in Arizona. Before that, they could only rely on the firepower of the police and residents.

"The basement of the shopping center is connected to a mine. We have to block it, otherwise it will be useless to set up the defense line well." Chris reminded.

When he said this, Russell remembered it, because the chemical raw material was no longer the source of the spider's mutation, and he almost forgot about it.

Watching the sinking sun, Russell immediately ran towards the basement. Chris walked with him. The two came to the entrance of the basement warehouse and found that the door was locked. After asking again, it was the door lock on the mayor White.

Fearing that he would be found guilty, this scumbag hastily locked the basement, completely unaware that his actions would kill everyone. Russell broke the door lock with a shot, called the police to explain the situation, and quickly organized a group of people to help. Using forklifts and manpower, the heavy objects in the warehouse were firmly blocked at the entrance of the mine.

The mayor, White, had ghosts in his heart, but he still had the look of a victim on his face, saying that everyone destroyed his property and wanted to talk about compensation.

For this kind of person, Russell has never been used to it, and reported him face-to-face for hiding contraband and suspected of smuggling.

This was a public outrage, and the residents finally realized why White built a shopping center in Prosperity Town and why he persuaded everyone to move.

Facing a group of townspeople armed with weapons and with malicious intentions, White hid in a corner in desperation, not daring to fart.

As the sun sets, the temperature in the town drops rapidly!

After working for several hours without seeing any spiders, the tense nerves of the residents gradually relaxed. They held the first prosperity town song and dance party in the food area of ​​the shopping center. The host was the announcer Harlan, who was a little nervous. black youth.

Russell always believed that the black announcer's brain was caught by the door, or the steel door, but the residents of the town just liked to listen to his nonsense, and were amused by his cold jokes from time to time.

Sitting in the corner, Russell and Ashley were eating free snacks from the shelves. They were originally charged, but as soon as Mayor White opened his mouth, five or six guns were held in his head.

Listening to the noise around him, Mike looked worried: "We should keep quiet, spiders are easily attracted by vibrations, especially noises."

Russell didn't speak. It was inevitable for monsters to attack human gathering places, no matter how cautious they were, it was useless. Don't blame the sand sculpture supporting roles, without them, the monsters would still attack, otherwise, what would the audience see!

Ashley snuggled into Russell's arms, playing with Lady Luck's ring, finally couldn't hold back, and said, "Russell, when the spider incident is over, you can use it to beg me... woo..."

Russell covered Ashley's mouth in time, and it was so immediate that he really wanted to say that after tonight, he couldn't stand up for anything but dead bodies.

rustle————

The faint sound of rubbing came from a distance, and the hustle and bustle of the shopping center soon stopped spontaneously. People looked at each other and swallowed in unison.

"Quick! Get ready, the spiders are coming..." The policeman standing at the window patrolled with cold sweat dripping from his brow, and his voice faded: "Maybe I should consider opening a cannery, there are too many fucking..."
