Chapter 16: Trapped in the Supermarket (plus more, to make up for the deleted poison chapter)
Inside the supermarket
Dan, who survived, was taken aside by the supermarket owner Ollie to bandage, and the panicked crowd was lying on the edge of the supermarket glass staring at the white fog outside, trying to figure out what was inside the fog.
"Boom Boom~~~~!"
Suddenly, the whole supermarket was shaking violently, everyone subconsciously squatted with their heads in their hands, screams and horrors accompanied by the sound of shelves falling to the ground, which lasted for more than ten seconds before the shock disappeared.
"It's supposed to be an earthquake."
"I'm telling you, those damn factories exploded!!"
"Everyone's alright, right? Has anyone been hurt? ”
"Don't go out!"
After experiencing these strange things, the panicked people began to comfort and remind each other, but at this time, a lady wandered around the crowd, and it seemed that there was something more important than the current predicament.
"No! I can't stay here, I have to go home to see my kids!! The lady looked at the crowd and said anxiously.
"Don't! Go elsewhere! It's too dangerous!! ”
"It's the end of the world!! Death is out there!! ”
"This fog can be poisonous inside!"
Naturally, the crowd was reluctant to leave the supermarket because it was too dangerous outside.
"I can't stay here!! Wanda is taking care of little Victor, and Wanda is only 8 years old! Sometimes she even forgets that she should take care of Victor!! I told them that I was only out for a few minutes, and that she was only 8 years old......." the lady said crying.
"Madame, go elsewhere for their sake!"
"yes, didn't you hear the screams of those people outside?" The group tried to persuade the woman.
However, she ignored the persuasion of the crowd: "Is there no one who wants to help me?" Her eyes swept over the crowd, and everyone who looked her directly lowered their heads.
At this time, everyone is unable to protect themselves, no one is willing to help a person who has nothing to do with them, and in the face of the threat of death, even the Holy Mother of Lotus flowers everywhere has to weigh his own ability.
"Can you help me?" She looked at Norton, a black lawyer.
Norton didn't answer, but lowered his head in shame, and when he saw this, the lady sneered and continued to ask everyone present.
"Please help me!" The lady said to David.
"I'm sorry, I have a child too, and I have to protect him here." David hugged Billy tightly.
Seeing that no one was willing to help her, the despair in her heart slowly turned into anger at this moment, she didn't know why so many people were not willing to help the mother with two children, she felt that everyone in front of her was evil.
"You're all going to hell!!" With that, the lady snatched the door out, and even if someone stopped her, she couldn't succeed.
At this moment, everyone in the supermarket was silent, and they clearly remembered the curse of the lady just now, some were ashamed and some were angry.
"There is a saying in our East, the hand can't hold the short-lived ghost, we don't owe her anything, everyone has relatives, I believe that if her two children are in the supermarket with her, then she will ignore other people's requests for her help." Ling Hao stood up at this time, and his words made most people feel a lot better.
That's right! Why do you have to help her? You must know that you are likely to die if you go out, this is not to help someone change a light bulb and sweep the floor, no one is obligated to do this.
Suddenly, everyone began to do two or three groups and began to discuss other things, while David came to Ling Hao's side, "Thank you very much." ”
"What's wrong?" Ling Hao looked at David with a smile.
"If it weren't for you, everyone would be depressed right now, you know, the situation is bad enough, God knows what else will happen." Looking at his son David, he was very worried.
In the afternoon, when the supermarket was a little tired, David took Billy to find an aisle to rest, and the two old ladies also came over, in which case people instinctively wanted to find a small group to comfort each other.
Seeing the nervousness of the lovely two old ladies seemed to be relaxed, "What a lovely child, and my grandson as well. ”
Later, Sally, the only female clerk, and Amanda, the heroine, also joined in, and everyone introduced each other.
"Seeing little Billy reminds me of the kids I used to teach at school, I love them because they always bring me joy, oh! God, I'm starting to mess around again, like an old lady at a tea party, I think I'm a little incoherent, sorry. One of the old ladies, Irene, seemed a little excited.
"It's okay, by the way, Sally I want to find a blanket for Billy, can you help me?" David asked, looking at his sleeping son.
"It's in the warehouse, but I'll have to clean up the messy shelves now, maybe you can find it yourself in the warehouse." Sally raised the broom in her hand and said helplessly.
At this time, Ling Hao happened to come over, "David, I can help you find it, I think I may need a blanket for a lunch break." ”
The lunch break was naturally an excuse, because he knew that there was a giant octaclaw monster wandering outside the warehouse shutter, and Ling Hao would not give up this opportunity to collect materials.
"That's great." Leaving Billy to the two old ladies to take care of, David and Ling Hao entered the warehouse.
As soon as they entered the warehouse, the loud noise from the generator made the two of them feel uncomfortable, and the air was mixed with dog food, flour, and all kinds of indescribable smells.
During the rummaging, several rolls of brand-new blankets appeared on the shelves, and when David got the blankets and wanted to return to the supermarket, suddenly the generator "boomed" and struck.
And when the generator stopped working, the electric roller shutter on the side emitted a "bang, bang!! The sound seemed to be the desperate impact of something outside.
"I think someone should come and see!" David was about to go out to find some people, but Ling Hao chose to stay here.
Within a few minutes, five people arrived at the warehouse.
"Oh!! Shet!! It smells like a toilet! It was Jim who spoke, followed by David, Ollie the store manager, Norman the clerk, and Jim's friend Myron.
Jim and Myron had experience as electricians, so David came to them to make it easier to rest the generator, otherwise everyone would have to spend the night in the dark.
"David, you said there's something out there?" At this time, the manager of Ollie did not notice any movement.
"It did just now, Ling and I both heard it!" David explained.
"Yes, Mr. Ollie, maybe opening the door will clear your doubts." Ling Hao knew that once the door was opened, the octaclawed monster outside would come in.
"It's not a good idea, but maybe it really needs to be opened." Next to the generator, Myron checked the reason, it was because the outside pipe was blocked, and someone had to unclog the pipe.
Several people began to quarrel about this, David felt that it was very dangerous outside, and once he went out, there was likely to be an accident, and Jim thought that David was making a big fuss, because he had not seen a monster until now, although he heard a scream, but maybe it was a person who fell in the dense fog of the polar visibility, and maybe it was a dog eating.
Norman, the clerk, was like a chicken blood at this time, he desperately wanted to go out and show it, God knows what he was thinking, maybe it was the young man's hormones that were at work.
Ling Hao and Store Manager Ollie did not express their opinions, and finally the impatient Norman directly opened the floodgates, and a dense white mist slowly poured in from outside the door.
