After a pause, Luke continued, "Your family and friends may have been killed by the spiders. So, you must not underestimate them. They're still monsters that can easily kill you with one bite."
He was quite blunt, but it was the truth.
A moment ago, he had to maintain morale and couldn't have the residents getting depressed.
But now that reinforcements had arrived, he needed to calm them down.
Laying low and staying alive was the most important thing.
Otherwise, what was the point of them fleeing and fighting just now? To be killed for nothing before dawn? That totally wasn't worth it.
"Now, check your weapons and stay alert. I can tell you that the dead spiders may only be half their population. This shopping center is the only thing keeping you alive to see tomorrow. Are we clear?" asked Luke, raising his voice.
"Got it," replied some of the residents.
