Chapter 8: The Source of Unease

Just woke up, and today will be more

――――――――――――――

Looking at the electric roller shutter door shut, David picked up the fire axe next to him and slashed down, only to hear a piercing grinding sound of iron flesh contact, and a small tentacle was cut down by him, while the others left the warehouse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The tentacles were paralyzed on the ground, like a fish out of water, rolling around, getting weaker and weaker, and finally completely still.

David flicked it with the tip of his broomstick. The tentacles, about three feet long, gripped the handle of the broom tightly, then loosened, and lay limply on the floor in cardboard boxes of toilet paper, dog food, and bleach.

The warehouse was silent, except for the rumbling of the generator, and only the sound of Ollie's weeping in the engine room.

The people in the warehouse were stunned in the face of the dazzling blood, and even forgot to speak.

"Oh......****...... No, I mean, no one ever thought of it...... It's true! Jim said with some trembling, what was happening in front of him was too stimulating for him.

"Shut up! You've killed a child! A child! David yelled.

"But he did it of his own free will! No one forced him! Jim was clearly reluctant to carry the cauldron.

"I mean, you bastard killed him!!"

"See clearly, right? Do you see what good things you've done? A twenty-year-old! David threw a punch in his face.

Jim was too stunned to stop, so he hit one by one, blood gushing out of his upper lip and into his mouth.

Then Dale swung his fist again, opened his bow left and right, and fought indiscriminately, completely out of order. But Jim only stepped back slightly, dodging the first few punches, but also took a few punches numb and guilty in the back.

This numbness of his made David even more angry. continued to beat him so that his nose bleeded, and black circles appeared in his eyes.

Finally, he punched the opponent in the jaw hard, causing his eyes to become trance-like and almost fainting.

"Stop...... Stop! Listen, listen, man. Jim stepped back a little embarrassed, stretched out one hand to block David's fist, and repeated it vigorously.

David threw another punch that hit Jim in the abdomen, causing him to gasp and no longer speak.

Finally the people next to him began to admonish, grabbing David's arm.

"David ......"

Turning around angrily, he realized that it was Ollie who was grabbing his arm.

Ollie's round face was dead white, with black circles on both eyes, his glasses covered in dust, and tears still welling up in his eyes.

"Don't hit him, David, it's not going to help."

Jim took the opportunity to hide from the sidelines, his face gloomy.

"You and your friends are fools! ****! David continued to yell.

"Come on, David." Ollie said, "That's enough, we have to think about what we're going to do next." ”

However, at this moment, suddenly there was a shocking sound outside.

It's as if something has fallen.

Then came the hoarse roar of the tentacles that they would never forget.

Finally, there was a metallic screech outside.

"What's going on out there......?" Everyone was terrified in an instant, and what had happened before was enough to scare them.

"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing, we need to get out of here!" Another said.

"That's right! Let's get out of here! They looked at David with pleading eyes, and they were indeed shocked by his earlier outburst of anger.

Bang!

Something hit the electric door again, and a bump was clearly visible on the entire door.

"Let's go! Get out of here! ”

There seemed to be two creatures fighting outside, and the movement was already terrifying. No one wondered what kind of creature was fighting the tentacle.

Of course, no one naively thought that it would be the savior who would protect humanity, and the only possible thing was just a more vicious and advanced hunter.

But no matter where they are, humans are at the bottom of the recipe for them.

"We have to tell them about the people who are in the store." David said.

"But if they panicβ€”" Ollie's voice hesitated.

"There's a monster here!!" David emphasized.

"But...... David, you see, everybody's upset right now. Ollie squeezed his hand a little nervously, "I mean, if you cause a panic, in case you want to rush out...... Well, maybe they will, maybe not. But even a few people do that...... We can't guarantee that the outside will be safer than the inside. ”

"Okay, okay...... At the very least, we're going to have to find someone to talk about it. David said helplessly.

"Discussion? I think yes, we have to find some knowledgeable people to talk about these questions, biologists? Oceanographer? Doctoral? I wish there were such people in the supermarket. Those tentacles...... It's like a big squid...... David, what are they connected to? What do those tentacles grow on?" Ollie wondered.

"I don't know. But I hope you don't talk nonsense, it's going to cause a lot of chaos, ok? David turned to the group before pushing the door.

The crowd nodded busily.

Pushing open the door, the bright fluorescent lamps once again surrounded him, and the noisy human voices resounded in his ears.

Everything just now seemed like a nightmare, if it weren't for the death of one person, that Noam, that child.

Coupled with the scarlet blood on his body, these are always a reminder of the cruelty of the truth, otherwise everyone would really want to treat all this as a nightmare.

"We have to hurry up and stop them from coming in." David took off his shirt neatly, he couldn't let the blood scare his son.

"But aren't we already shut?"

"That's right." Ollie replied: "Unfortunately, the front of the supermarket is full of glass. ”

"Oh...... Damn it! ”

"Jesus Christ, I think we'd better get some professional people to come and see." Jim wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said in a muffled voice.

"But who are you looking for? Broadcasting with great fanfare is certainly not a good idea. Ollie asked with a wry face.

"Brent Norton, he's a very well-known lawyer in New York, he has connections in Congress and people in the Pentagon, and he often defends some celebrities, and I think he should be able to help us a little bit." David thought for a moment and said.

Norton had come to the supermarket with him, and last night's wind had smashed the villa where they were almost next to each other, and his new car was completely ruined...... Mostly Norton owes himself an insurance sum because his tree smashed his houseboat.

"Well, maybe you can try. But I'm not very cold to him. Ollie said.

Seeing the three of them binge on beer, David walked off to find Norton.

He was standing at Exit 2, chatting with Bud Brown.

Norton's gray hair is very stylish, his appearance is not bad, and he is very serious. When he stands with the standard New England-looking Bud Brown, the two pair up to look a lot like a comic book scene from The New Yorker.

At this time, twenty or thirty people were scattered uneasily between the checkout exit and the glass window of the storefront.

Many people stood by the glass windows, looking out at the thick fog, which reminded David of a group of construction workers gathered on the construction site.

Mrs. Kadidy sat on a conveyor belt on a checkout counter, smoking a Marlboro cigarette with a quit filter, squinting at him, but deciding that he was not the person she was talking to, looked like she was sleepwalking.

However, David is sure that this rough cessation filter does not have half an effect on this high-tar and high-alkali cigarette.

"Brent." David shouted.

"Hey! David! Since he took the initiative to talk to Norton about the insurance money in the morning and then drove him to the supermarket, the relationship between the two seems to have recovered somewhat. No longer as stiff as before.

"Where did you go?"

"I was just about to talk to you." David looked a little tired.

"Talk? What to talk about? Talking about those friends of yours who are now standing in front of the freezer and stealing a beer from the supermarket without paying for it? Although there is some chaos now, it does not mean that the law has fallen! "Brent Norton is a standard hard-nosed lawyer who demands that everything be done by the rules.

"You know, I can see you through the surveillance glass, this has to be stopped!"

He was now speaking with a little chagrin, his hands folded in front of his chest, and he looked at the convex mirror with a gloomy face. He spoke in a tone that sounded like he was accusing the Presbyterian Church of playing a Level 3 movie.

Bud Brown coughed awkwardly,

"Brent? I'll quit for a moment, okay. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, please."

"Looking forward to the next meeting."
