Chapter 15 The Smell of the Supermarket

The location of the church is quite far from the hotel. If there is a means of transportation in this town, such as a car, it will only take ten or twenty minutes to get there. But now this place has been abandoned for a long time, and everyone wants to go there, so they can only walk.

Fortunately, the storm passed through last night, and the temperature on the island today is not as hot as yesterday, on the contrary, there is a hint of coolness.

The hotel is located in the eastern part of the town, which is much better than the worst-hit west. But even so, the shops and trees on both sides of the road fell to the ground, and many of the wooden houses were completely damaged, making the already dilapidated and declining town look even more lifeless.

"Brother Xu Zhen, did the light source in your room go out last night?" Dai Shikai asked.

"Nope." A stout tree had fallen in the middle of the road, and the crowd had to climb over it. Xu Zhen held on to the trunk of the tree, and while stepping over the tree, he replied: "I don't know if it's my delusion, anyway, I always feel that when I get to a dark place, I have inexplicable heart palpitations." ”

"It's not just a dark place." Chen Shuo took the lead in going around to the opposite side, stretched out his hand to help Xu Zhen, and then said to Dai Shikai: "From here to now, I feel depressed and uncomfortable in my heart. ”

When Dai Shikai and Lu Qing heard this, they both glanced at each other. It turns out that everyone feels the same way.

Lu Qing told the two of them about seeing the illusion last night, Xu Zhen and Chen Shuo were extremely surprised by this, if there was really a powerful ghost, there were several dream breakers behind Lu Qing at the time of the incident, among which Li Zeyan, Dai Shikai and Bei Qi were the best in the space, how could no one notice it?

"I believe it wasn't my hallucination." Lu Qing said: "There must be something in the hotel, and they are the ones who killed Dong Lin and Xie Long. ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Shuo raised his cheeks and said, "Could it be that the first district has also been attacked?" ”

"It's a possibility." Thinking of the cold faces of Shan Hongwei and Li Chenyin, Dai Shikai shook his head again: "It is estimated that those two people should be fine." Otherwise, the people of District 1 would have run out to celebrate. ”

Regarding this matter, Lu Qingzhi didn't have much thought. He looked up at the church in the distance, and then said, "In any case, you must be careful when you enter the church later, and try not to venture into dark places." ”

Dai Shikai remembered just now: "Brother Qing, did you tell Betsy about them?" ”

"Hmm. On the second side, I haven't said yet. Although Lu Qing didn't say the second half of the sentence, everyone also understood what he meant. He wanted to see if his guess was correct.

Although he is a little sorry for the second district, in the mission, benevolence, righteousness and morality cannot save lives, and Lu Qing has no obligation to remind everyone to pay attention.

Li Zeyan and his entourage had already arrived near the supermarket in the town. This is probably the only largest shopping mall in town, and although it is only one floor, it covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters. The island is sparsely populated, and the supermarket is located in the heart of the city, apparently for the convenience of the town's residents.

The front of the supermarket is made entirely of glass, most of which has been shattered by the wind and rain last night, and some of which are crumbling on top, looking very dangerous.

"Be careful, everyone, follow me." Li Zeyan is indeed a responsible captain, and in the mission, he is always the first to walk in the forefront, and never easily risks other people's lives.

Behind Li Zeyan was Chen Zhi, followed by Liu Dequan and Ni Ya, as the elderly and women of the vulnerable group, the two were arranged in the safest position of the team. Cao Zijian and Liu Ke were in charge of the palace, and a group of people entered the supermarket in an orderly manner.

The smooth ground was covered with black sewage, a stain caused by last night's rain mixed with dust on the ground. There is no food near the cash register, and everyone does not care, according to the supermarket's habit of placing items, the canned food and puffed food that can be eaten should be in the center of the supermarket.

"It's been deserted for too long." Cao Zijian kicked the weeds growing in the cracks of the tiles next to his feet, picked up an unsealed bag of dog food, and after smelling the unpleasant fishy smell emitted from it, he threw it aside in disgust.

"Smack"

The bag fell to the ground, and because it contained a lot of biscuit lumps, this movement formed a loud echo in the empty supermarket, and Li Zeyan couldn't help but glance back at the other party. Not only him, but several people walking in front of the team were startled by this sudden movement, and they all turned their heads and glared at Cao Zijian, the culprit.

"You restrain yourself a little bit, don't make too much noise." Liu Ke hurriedly poked the other party with his elbow and showed a hearty smile to the others. Seeing that the captain didn't pursue it, Cao Zijian breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Okay, don't mess around next time." ”

"This little Cao, he did things carelessly, and he just scared the old man to death." Liu De patted his chest with palpitations, I don't know if it was the fright just now, now he only feels that the more he goes to the supermarket, the more uncomfortable he becomes.

The top of this supermarket is solid cement, which has not been blown down by tornadoes, and because of the large area and the lack of power supply in the town, the containers in front of it are dark, and everyone has to shine flashlights around in case something unexpected happens.

"What a smell, it stinks."

Everyone walked forward for a few dozen meters, and suddenly smelled a strange smell of fishy rot. As early as when they entered the supermarket, they also smelled this smell in the air, but at that time, everyone thought that the ingredients in the supermarket were moldy and spoiled, and they were not suspicious after a night of rain.

But as they went deeper, the smell became more and more intense, and at this time they had to cover their mouths and noses, Ni Ya frowned, almost nauseating [31 Update fast]. If Li Zeyan hadn't taken the lead without changing her face, she would have wanted to turn around and leave.

At this time, Li Zeyan, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, he raised his hand and made a waiting gesture. Everyone immediately became alert, and the captain meant that there was danger ahead.

The flashlight in Liu Ke's hand shone around, this is where the supermarket sells raw meat and frozen seafood, and the freezers around it can prove this. Since this place has been abandoned for a long time, people naturally do not expect this meat to be eaten again.

It's just that the freezers around are covered with shocking scratches and scratches, and the refrigerator is also shockingly damaged, Liu Ke bent down, looked at the scratched metal surface, and raised his head tremblingly.

This is not something that humans have made.

Li Zeyan asked the five of them to stand in place, while he turned on a flashlight, quietly bypassed the residue on the ground, and continued to check. His steps were light, so light that he barely made any sound. Li Zeyan followed the source of the rotten smell, and quickly locked his gaze on the final directionβ€”on a half-open iron door in the corner of the raw meat area.

As before, the door and the surrounding walls were covered in scratches, and the floor next to the door was strewn with yellow-black wall ash. Li Zeyan took a flashlight at it, and he saw several footprints that resembled animal hooves. The footprints are not large, and judging by the location of the scratches on the side of the door, the height and size of this "thing" should be about the same as that of a normal human.
