She was finally tired. I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of shouting, I'm tired of beating. And I'm tired, I'm tired of listening, I'm tired of watching, I'm tired.

The single mother, after listening to several hours of radio programming, did not listen to any news about the incident until the MP3 ran out of power and took it to recharge. And at this time, she also seemed to be on the power supply, and suddenly entered a state of excitement. She had been standing by the door since the afternoon, screaming, crying, banging on the iron shutter door, and calling her son's name as if she had gone mad. I don't know what was the force that sustained this emaciated woman from three o'clock in the afternoon until until 11 o'clock in the evening. But now that she was finally paralyzed, I could feel a deep sense of despair and chill in her collapsed limbs and distracted eyes.

In fact, she is not the only one who feels hopeless? I think everyone in the supermarket, including me, was chilling at the moment — the woman was banging and screaming for nearly ten hours, and there was no movement or response from outside — and I tried not to think about what that meant.

Now, it seems, everyone is disheartened, and there is no one in the supermarket who speaks, and it is surprisingly quiet. Everyone was lying on the ground in a mess, and the scene looked like someone had ransacked the funeral home.

After the suffocating dreary feeling lasted for a while, I saw the middle-aged uncle get up from the ground, walk to the counter and ask the female clerk, "Do you have a quilt in this supermarket?" ”

The female clerk shook her head and said, "No." No one has lived in this place before. ”

The middle-aged uncle said: "It's autumn now, and the temperature at night will be relatively low. If we sleep like this, it's easy to catch a cold - I don't think you have any medicine here, and if someone gets sick, it's going to be a problem. ”

I was lamenting the thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness of the middle-aged uncle, when I heard the red-haired thug opposite me say in a sneering tone, "Uncle, it seems that you are preparing to stay here for a long time, right?" ”

The middle-aged uncle glanced at him and ignored him. He stared at the female clerk and said, "Think about it, is there anything that can be used instead of a quilt?" ”

"I'll think about it...... Ah, by the way, there are some tablecloths on the shelves over there, maybe they can be used as a quilt. ”

"Okay, I'll get it." The middle-aged uncle nodded and walked in the direction she pointed.

After a while, the uncle began to distribute more than a dozen brand-new tablecloths to everyone in the supermarket. When it came to me, he said to me: "Wrap up tightly at night, don't catch a cold." ”

"Thank you." I said to him gratefully. He walked over to the other side and handed it to the red-haired thug. "Do you want it?"

The red-haired boy raised an eyebrow, but took the tablecloth anyway.

Next, the uncle went to the door and personally put the "quilt" on the single mother who was paralyzed on the ground, and said some words of comfort to her. After that, he sat down by the wall and slept wrapped in a "quilt".

It was close to twelve o'clock, and I wasn't sure if everyone in the supermarket was asleep, but at least they all looked like they were all closed. I noticed that since I was locked in this supermarket, I had some symptoms of insomnia. But I also knew I couldn't stay awake all the time, so I began to count from 1 to 100 in my mind. Gradually, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, until finally they closed completely, closing all consciousness in my head at the same time.

I don't know how long later, in a daze, I was woken up, barely half-open under the blinding incandescent lights of the supermarket. I saw that the single mother who had been sleeping by the door was in front of me at the moment, and she was staring at me with a pair of frightened eyes and asking, "What did you just ...... Did you hear anything? ”

I looked at her confused: "Voice? What was that? ”

She put her finger to her mouth and "shhhh ”

I did as she was told, pricking up my ears to hear the movement outside the door. After a while, I heard a low, beast-like howl coming from what seemed to be far away outside the door. It was a small sound, but it creeped to my bones, and I couldn't tell what animal it was, for I had never heard such a strange howl anywhere before. I looked at my single mother in horror: "What the hell is this cry of?" ”

"I don't know." She shook her head in fear, "I heard it when I slept by the door." ”

As we spoke, the monster's cry rang out again, and this time it was noticeably louder than before, and I couldn't help but cry out, "Oh my God, what the hell is this!" ”

My scream woke up a few people nearby, who sat up from the ground, and the middle-aged uncle asked, "What's wrong with you?" What do you hear? ”

I pointed to the door in fear: "Listen...... There's something out there. ”

At this time, several more people got up, and they all looked at the door together, listening carefully to the movement outside. The monster's cry rang out again, louder than the last. Apparently everyone in the supermarket heard it, and they all stood up, all staring at them with frightened eyes.

"Oh my God, what's that weird scream?" The fat woman's face was pale and she was constantly shivering.

This time, the monster's voice was no longer a howl, but a roar. I could feel everyone in the supermarket overwhelmed with horror. The little white-faced boy's face was as white as the white tablecloth he had covered, and he trembled and said, "This voice...... It's getting bigger. ”

The female clerk left the counter and stepped back: "I feel...... This thing is getting closer and closer to us. In fact, all the people in the supermarket were like her, unconsciously moving backwards and trying to stay as far away from the door as possible.

"Hey, did you notice, the voice is getting closer and closer to us, but...... Why can't we hear any footsteps? The fat woman asked, horrified.

At this moment, another loud roar came. My heart was pounding out of my chest. I clearly felt that this thing was already close to us, to be exact, it might be right at the door right now. At this moment, the air in the supermarket stopped flowing, and everyone held their breath and stared at the iron door motionlessly.

Five minutes, or ten minutes later, I'm not sure. But anyway, we didn't hear the monster's roar anymore. The fat woman's voice pierced the dead silence in the supermarket: "That thing...... Left? ”

"Don't talk." The middle-aged uncle said alarmingly, "Wait a minute." ”

After waiting for about ten minutes, and finally no more voices were heard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were slowly lowered. The fashionable girl asked in shock, "...... you guys Does anyone know? What was it out there just now? ”

"I think it's something that is beyond our knowledge." The fat woman said solemnly, "The kind of sound it makes is obviously not from a human, nor does it look like some kind of animal. ”

"What do you think...... Does this have anything to do with what the man said about the 'terrible virus'? The little white-faced boy asked tremblingly.

This is obviously a question that no one can answer. After a long silence in the supermarket, the bearded man scolded angrily: "Fuck! What the hell has become of the outside! ”
