12. Monster Attack

September 25× 200 10:22 PM

Throughout the day, I was like a peeper in the dark, keeping a close eye on the little boy's whereabouts and demeanor, and although no one suspected him of being a murderer except me, I trusted my instincts and judgment. Unfortunately, I kept a close eye on him for a day, but I didn't notice anything unusual about him.

He is cunning. Sometimes, I even doubt that he knows that I am watching him quietly. He never stayed in my sight for too long, and his figure always flashed by for a few seconds. In the afternoon, I hadn't seen him for nearly three hours, so I got up and searched for him between the shelves, pretending to be choosing something to eat. I thought it was a natural thing, but what I didn't expect was that when I turned to a row of shelves, I was shocked to find the boy waiting there, staring at me with stunned eyes, as if I knew I was here to find him. My heart trembled and I was amazed, but on the surface I had to pretend to be plain. I didn't dare look him in the eye, so I grabbed a bag of snacks from the row of shelves and hurried past him.

I wondered, he wouldn't know I was suspicious of him, would he? In that case, I'm in danger. Thinking of this, a chill ran down my back. I didn't dare to be alone anymore, I searched for people in the supermarket, and found that the most trustworthy and reliable person at this time was the middle-aged uncle. I walked over to him.

When I walked up to him, I saw that the middle-aged uncle had just taken the MP3 earbuds out of his ear, and then sighed in a low voice, looking dazed, I sat down and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The uncle glanced at me and said gloomily, "This MP3 is finally out of power." ”

My heart sank. Originally, we all relied on this MP3 to understand some of the movements outside, but as it ran out, the last light that could guide us went out. From now on, we will be confused as to where we will go from here. I tried my best to control my sadness and despair, lit the last glimmer of hope and asked, "Then you ...... today Did you hear any new news reports? ”

The middle-aged uncle shook his head in confusion and said, "No, there is no mention of this matter in today's news." ”

I was surprised and asked, "How is this possible?" How can such a big thing not be reported in the news at all? ”

The single mother sitting nearby overheard our conversation, tilted her head and said, "The fact that it wasn't reported on the news means that this matter is much more serious than we thought." ”

I looked at her in amazement: "Why?" ”

"If this matter is still under the control of the government, then don't be afraid to let everyone know. In my opinion, it is precisely because the situation is so serious that it cannot be controlled and contained, that the government can only choose to avoid talking about it, for fear that the public will find out about it and cause widespread panic. ”

After listening to her analysis, I felt chills all over my body: "You mean, we are hopeless here, and the government intends to cover up the truth?" ”

The single mother shrugged her shoulders with a blank expression, indicating that she had no comment.

I looked at the middle-aged uncle, and at such times in the past, he would say some words of comfort or encouragement, telling everyone not to be discouraged and feel sorry for themselves. But this time, he just hung his head and didn't say a word. I can't believe it, even his heart is dead.

Just as I was about to be devoured by despair, the fat woman came from one side and said angrily, "That old woman is really scared and stupid, I don't think she can speak now!" ”

I almost forgot that she said she was going to investigate the murderer, and now it seems like she didn't just say it. Perhaps to change my mood, I stood up and asked, "How is it, have you investigated anything?" ”

The fat woman sighed helplessly: "I haven't been able to find definite evidence yet, but I won't give up, and I will continue to investigate." ”

I wondered if she still had a grudge against the red-haired thugs, or if she was too bored to play a detective game, but I didn't have much hope for her, because I felt that her suspicions and the goal of the investigation were wrong in the first place.

The fat woman seemed to see through my thoughts, she approached me, pretended to mysteriously lower her voice and said, "Although I have not been completely sure of the murderer, my investigation has not been fruitless. Let me tell you, I already have some eyebrows, as long as I follow this clue, I will definitely find out the true face of the murderer! ”

I was a little surprised, and my curiosity was ignited, and I was about to ask what was going on, when the single mother suddenly stood up and "shh ”

The fat woman and I were immediately alert and listened carefully, but we didn't hear anything out of the ordinary. After a while, I asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, is there any sound outside?" ”

The single mother looked shocked and trembled: "I heard it again...... The screams of monsters! ”

I was shocked, and everyone else heard what she said, and they all gathered around. Everyone held their breath and listened, and there was a dead silence in the supermarket. Suddenly, a loud roar came from the doorway, and the cry was so piercing and shocking that it scared us out of sight. The fat woman screamed, "Oh my God, it's at the door!" ”

"Don't talk!" The middle-aged uncle drank in a deep voice, and then said to everyone, "We're all going backwards!" ”

Needless to say, everyone is instinctively moving backwards. Another loud roar. What's even more terrifying is that this time there is also a heavy crashing sound, it is the sound of a huge thing hitting the iron roller shutter door! I was so scared out of my body that I felt like I was going to pass out.

"Bang Bang Bang!" The impact grew louder and louder each time, striking our hearts hard with each blow. We are like rats cornered by a vicious cat, helpless and terrified. The female clerk couldn't hold it anymore, passed out, and was held up by a middle-aged uncle. The fashionable girl threw herself into her boyfriend's arms, her voice changing tone with fear: "That thing...... Know there's someone in there! ”

The red-haired thug suddenly remembered something: "Pistol!" And what about the pistol? ”

The middle-aged uncle said: "Locked in the drawer of the cash register, the key is on the body of this female clerk!" ”

The red-haired thug rushed over without saying a word, took out the key from the female clerk's pocket, and then boldly walked to the cash register near the iron door, opened the drawer with a shudder, took out the pistol, and then quickly stepped back, the pistol was pointed at the door.

We and the "monster" were confronted by an iron gate. The monster seemed to know that the man inside had drawn his weapon, and the roaring and crashing sound stopped. We waited for a few minutes to make sure it was quiet outside. The fashion girl asked tentatively, "The monster ...... Gone? ”

No one answered, and everyone was still staring nervously at the door. After another one or two minutes, everyone was relieved to make sure that there was no sound outside. The red-haired thug slowly lowered the pistol he had been holding.

"You guys ...... day Who said this monster has gone far? The fat woman was shocked, and said, "I don't think it has left at all, and it has been staying around here!" As soon as we get out, it's a dead end! ”

"There is such a terrifying monster out there, does the government really not care about it?" The female clerk woke up and said with tears in her eyes.

"Who knows how bad the situation is out there? Maybe the government can't control it anymore. The little white-faced boy said.

The red-haired thug walked to the cash register and put the pistol in the drawer, then walked up to the clerk, handed her the key, and said, "Don't lock the drawer this time, I think the monster could come back at any time, and we must be ready to use that gun for self-defense." ”

"Oh my God, aren't we going to stay in here all the time?" The fashion girl said anxiously. "When is this the end of the day?"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Fear was swollen in my body like a poisonous bubble, and I didn't have the heart to think about other discomforts. I meditated in my heart - there were murderers inside, monsters outside. God, I'm going crazy, I'm going to die.
