American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 174 Samantha: Is this human language?
The flaming skull drilled into the fat tail of the human-faced spider, which had not yet closed, and then exploded with a bang, and juices of various colors splashed everywhere.

It's like a giant bug exploding, very disgusting.

Fortunately, Roy ran away for a distance early and was not splashed by the colorful strange juice.

"Mother...will not...let you go!"

With her abdominal cavity exploded, the human-faced spider was obviously dead, but she was still using her last bit of strength to curse Roy with resentment.

So Roy fired another shot from the Hell Shotgun, which directly smashed the face of the man who was talking.

[Ding! Received the Human-Faced Spider's Destiny Treasure Chest! Open it?]

"Done!"

The human-faced spider was killed, but the giant spiders did not come back, which made Roy a little worried.

Wouldn't these guys just abandon the male mother?
How cold-blooded!
However, spiders are arthropods and don't even have blood, so this behavior doesn't seem surprising.

I just don't know if these giant spiders will run to the town after losing control of the human-faced spider.

"Ellessa, let's go back!"

"Daddy, my baby's stomach is rumbling, I want some milkshake!"

Ellessa lifted up her white skirt to show her flat belly. She just liked the natural feeling, so she didn't wear anything under her skirt.

Roy slapped Elleisa's hand away. This action was too indecent and his old father couldn't stand seeing this.

"We'll talk about it later. I don't have time right now. How about you eat some of the food you have left to fill your stomach first?"

Elleisa pursed her lips, took a bottle from Roy and started sucking on it.

The time in your inventory is constant, so these baby shakes are always fresh.

But Elleisa just likes freshly squeezed baby milkshake, and Roy doesn't understand why.

In the mining town, the out-of-control giant spider is indeed attacking the town.

Fortunately, Roy had reminded Samantha, and with the prestige of sheriff, she successfully gathered the residents of the town in a larger supermarket and relied on the weapons brought from the police station for defense.

The effect is pretty good and can barely hold up.

In fact, Roy thought that instead of evolving to the size of a human, it would be more powerful if this spider evolved to the size of a basketball.

Their large size means they are easier to be hit, but the defense of these spiders has not been improved much, and they can still be killed by guns.

It would be better if it were smaller. At least it would be harder for bullets to hit it, and it would be more flexible and able to get into some inconspicuous pipes and corners.

In a situation like this, as long as there are weapons, positions, and a qualified commander (Sumantha), it will be difficult for the giant spider to attack.

"Sheriff, we're running low on ammunition!"

Samantha was holding the same Remington M870 as Roy, and she was killing everyone like a female warrior, killing a giant spider with one shot.

Samantha was angry and anxious when she suddenly heard Pete's voice.

"How come the ammunition is used up so quickly?"

Pete explained somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, nothing much has happened in this town in recent years, so some of the ammunition has been stored for too long and can't be used..."

Samantha glared at Pete. She suspected that this guy had secretly taken the ammunition out to sell, which was why this happened.

But the situation is critical now, and Samantha has no time to care about these things.

"I'll settle with you later! Everyone, hold your defenses!"

There are not many residents in the mining town, only a few hundred people in total. Samantha finally found a dozen adults who can use guns and formed a position with the town police.

Unexpectedly, when we were defending well, the deputy sheriff suddenly said that he had no ammunition.

Fortunately, Samantha is experienced in the battlefield and has prepared multiple lines of defense long ago. She also made some traps using the materials she could find, so she should be able to hold out until dawn.

Spiders are mostly nocturnal animals and will probably retreat as soon as daylight comes.

"As long as we can hold out until dawn!"

Samantha gritted her teeth. The current situation was more difficult than a mission she had performed in the Marine Corps.

That mission...why can't I remember it suddenly?
Samantha shook her head, trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind, and then shot and killed a giant spider that wanted to sneak attack.

"Report the ammunition base!"

"I have five magazines left!"

“I have two!”

"Last two magazines!"

"30 rounds of 12-gauge bullets!"

……

The ammunition situation was not optimistic, and Pete was sweating with anxiety.

The giant spiders outside seemed endless, and if this continued, they would not last until dawn.

"Sheriff, what should we do?"

Samantha thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Actually, we have another solution. If someone can drive to the gun store in town and bring back some weapons and ammunition, it might be able to change the situation!"

But who will go?
There are giant spiders everywhere outside. If you rush out, you will be dead. Staying here may give you a chance to survive.

Samantha looked around and saw that no one volunteered. After all, they were all ordinary people.

"Then I'll go! Pete, the command job is up to you!"

"Ah? I'll be in charge?"

Pete looked confused.

Samantha had no choice. The only one with some command experience at the scene was Deputy Sheriff Pete, and the others were all civilians.

At this time, Mok, whose hair had inexplicably turned green, saw that the goddess was ready to fight to the death, so he gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Samantha, I'm going with you!"

Samantha was a little surprised at Mok's courage, but it was always a good thing to have someone to accompany her. When she was about to leave, she heard screams coming from the warehouse.

"what--"

"What happened!"

Samantha immediately became anxious because her daughter and son were in the warehouse!
It turned out that because the warehouse was closed enough and only had two doors, front and back, Samantha used it as the last line of defense. Hundreds of elderly, weak, women and children hid inside the warehouse. The front door was Samantha's line of defense, and the back door was also guarded.

Theoretically, nothing should go wrong.

Who knew that although these giant spiders could not speak, their intelligence was not low, otherwise they would not have eaten Roy's fear field.

These guys were actually spraying corrosive acid above the warehouse. Their acid was weaker than the acid of the human-faced spider that could directly corrode steel, but the amount was huge!
After more than a dozen giant spiders took turns spitting acid, they successfully corroded a large hole in the ceiling of the warehouse. Then a large number of giant spiders entered the warehouse and began hunting humans.

Hearing the screams of their families, some men on the front line could not help but run back to save them, and the front line collapsed instantly.

"Come back and stabilize the front first!"

Samantha managed to remain calm. She didn't need to think about going to the weapon store at this moment. She just had to wait until she could get through this period.

In the end, Pete also chose to give up the front line to save his son, and only Samantha and Mork were left on the defense line to face the siege of dozens of giant spiders.

"Damn it! Looks like this is all we can hold out for."

Samantha lowered her gun and seemed to have given up resistance. She only regretted not being with her daughter and son. It would be nice if the whole family could be together.

Oh, and there was a little man who disappeared... Mok beside him also mustered up his courage and prepared to confess at the last moment.

"Samantha, actually..."

At this moment, bursts of gunfire were heard outside the supermarket, and then Samantha found that the giant spider began to flee, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

"How is this going?"

The gunshots came from far away and Samantha soon saw who the shooter was. It was the little man Roy she had just thought of.

Roy was seen holding two revolvers and firing left and right. Every bullet could kill a giant spider, and every bullet hit the target.

When the pistol bullets were used up, Roy handed the two guns to Elleisa beside him to replace the bullets, and then continued shooting with the Remington M870.

The giant spiders around were all shocked when they saw Roy. Not only did they not dare to attack them, but they even wished they could grow eight more legs.

Soon, Roy came to Samantha.

"Samantha, are you okay?"

Samantha escaped death and with tears in her eyes, she hugged Roy.

"Roy, it's great that you came!"

At this time, Mok, who was standing next to him, looked constipated and looked a bit like a Namekian.

"By the way, Samantha, how are Ashley and the others doing?"

Samantha then remembered that her daughter and son were still in danger.

"They are in the warehouse, let's go rescue them!"

The giant spiders in the supermarket were either beaten to death or scared away by Roy, so there was no danger here anymore.

Samantha quickly took Roy into the warehouse to rescue people.

At this time, the warehouse was in chaos. Many shelves had been pushed to the ground, and some people were even crushed by them.

The people who had just rushed into the warehouse were fighting with the giant spider, while the survivors were hiding in the corner and trembling.

"Ashley, Mike!"

Samantha called out her daughter and son's names and received a quick response.

"Mom, we're here!"

Samantha breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her daughter and son were fine. All she had to do now was to drive away these giant spiders.

However, the shelves in the warehouse severely blocked the view, and this complex environment was too suitable for spiders to fight.

"Let me do it."

This is when curved bullets come into play.

Roy had previously said that curved bullets were useless, but he didn't expect to be proven wrong so soon.

With a shake of his hands, two bullets were fired from two revolvers, bypassing the shelves and hitting the two giant spiders behind them.

Samantha looked at this scene in surprise.

"Roy, how did you do that?"

"It's very simple. Just by shaking your wrist at the right moment when you pull the trigger, you can apply a force in a different direction when the bullet leaves the gun, thus making the bullet's flight path become an arc."

Samantha: ???

Is this what you are saying?

With Roy joining the battle, the giant spiders in the warehouse were quickly repelled.

But during that period of time, many residents were entangled in the spider webs spit out by the giant spider and then taken away.

So even though the battle was won, the atmosphere in the warehouse was still very low, and some residents who had lost their family members began to cry.

At this time, Mike stood up.

"Those giant spiders seem to be a variant of the local wolf spider. They like to catch their prey with their silk and bring them back to their nests alive to eat. Maybe we can still save them in time!"

Mike's reminder reminded Roy that he did see some things wrapped in spider silk balls in the spider silk nest. Those should be the prey caught by the giant spider.

"Is that so? Then let's take action immediately!"

Samantha immediately stepped forward. As sheriff, she had the responsibility to protect the safety of the residents.

But Roy held down Samantha.

"I'd better let me go. The swamp is very dangerous."

With that, Roy prepared to take action.

However, an accident happened again. Roy had just walked out of the back door of the warehouse, which was also the direction the giant spider escaped, when he heard a series of dense gunshots.

This is……

Such dense gunfire was definitely not something that civilian weapons could produce. Roy squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, then saw a convoy approaching.

The convoy was led by an armored vehicle, and the gunshot just now was the sound of the heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle.

"Great, reinforcements have arrived!"

Samantha's face was full of surprise, but Roy was not so happy. He quickly pulled Samantha back into the warehouse.

"Something's wrong, those aren't reinforcements!"

If Roy remembered correctly, the mining town was at least four or five hours' drive from Las Vegas, and there was no way the FEA could get there so quickly.

"If it's not reinforcements, then who could it be?"

The convoy was getting closer and closer, and Roy finally saw the three letters MMC on the convoy's paint.

Montenegro Military Company!
This military company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amacham Technology, and is specifically responsible for doing dirty work for Amacham, using very shady methods.

In the incident of "The Mountain Has Eyes", the Black Mountain Military Company acted without any scruples, killing anyone they saw, clearly intending to silence them.

Presumably, this time, the purpose of the Montenegro Military Company is the same.

Damn, this is trouble!

In the "Hills Have Eyes" incident, the Black Mountain Military Company only used individual weapons, but this time even armored vehicles were deployed.

After hearing Roy's explanation, Samantha's expression also became ugly.

"There are actually such mercenary companies, and the federal government doesn't care about them?"

Not only will the federal government not care, it may even be covering up Montenegro's mess!

However, Roy did not say this out loud, but instead tried to comfort others.

"Don't worry, I've already contacted FEA. They'll be here in an hour or two at the latest. All we have to do is hold on for another hour or two!"

Having said that, when dozens of fully armed mercenaries came down from the convoy, some of them carrying individual rockets, the survivors still felt a little desperate.

"Listen up, everyone inside! We are Montenegrin mercenaries hired by Amacham Technologies. Please put down your weapons and come out of the building immediately."

A man who looked like a captain used a loudspeaker to persuade Roy and the others to come out of the supermarket.

If Roy hadn't reminded us, everyone might have actually walked out of the warehouse.

But now, the people in the warehouse looked at the Black Mountain mercenaries strangely. Why did they make such a big fuss if they were going to rescue people? It was clearly a sign of preparation for a fight.

"Roy, what should we do?"
