Chapter 162: The Situation

Regardless of what they had in mind, most of the townsfolk listened to Locke's words and were mostly thinking about going out to take risks, but soon someone was eyeing the three soldiers who stayed in the supermarket.

The three soldiers were just watching the gate, and they didn't know anything about the research in the base, but through small talk, they still knew that something terrifying was being studied inside, but they couldn't say what it was.

But thinking of the monsters that Marjorie and Locke talked about, everyone thought about biochemical weapons.

"Damn, those damn politicians have squandered our taxpayers' money and created so many horrible things!" All of them couldn't help but scold.

"If you want to draw those monsters in with your voice, you might as well be louder." Locke suddenly said at this time.

After everyone calmed down, he continued: "When I went out just now, I encountered a total of three waves of monsters on the road, they were agile, and ordinary people were difficult to deal with, so now everyone should think about how to strengthen the supermarket." ”

"So what do we need to do next?" David is worthy of being the protagonist, and his consciousness is still very high, and he brought a few people who played a heavy role in the plot to come over.

And the godly Mrs. Carmody began to babble about the end of the world.

She has mental problems, and people usually avoid her, but at this time, her words have some market, after all, everyone is in a state of panic at this time.

Fortunately, Locke's existence gave everyone a backbone, and then Locke assigned the task, mainly to strengthen the glass wall at the door.

With the knowledge in his head, Locke quickly devised a suitable reinforcement scheme based on the existing items.

Rather than sitting back and waiting, there is always some use in doing something.

While working, David asked Locke, "Detective, do you think this crisis is caused by biochemical experiments conducted at that military base?" ”

"I can't say for sure, I can only say it's possible." Locke said, "You must have seen the army vehicles when you came, they were all heading in the direction of the fog. ”

"That is to say, will the military move soon and come over to solve the problem?" David asked as he suddenly thought of something.

"Since such a serious problem has occurred, the Federation will definitely send troops to solve the problem." Locke nodded.

"Great!" Hearing this news, people don't care about scolding the Federation, but they can't wait for the Federation to move faster, and in this case, they can only count on the Federation's army.

"I estimate that five or six days should be able to solve the problem." Locke's next sentence made everyone's hearts sink.

"Five or six days?!" David couldn't help but say, "Those monsters are everywhere now, and five or six days is enough for them to wash the town in blood three times." ”

"When you encounter this kind of problem, you must mobilize a lot of military forces, but do you think this is just an order?" Locke says:

"First of all, the report here has to be submitted, and then those Pentagon guys have to review and discuss, and when they finish discussing and issuing orders, it will take time for the troops to move.

And when the army comes, do you think you can do it in a day or two to fight in this thick fog? I'm talking about five or six days is already fast.

This town is relatively remote, even if all the people in the town die, it may still be a good thing for the big people in the White House, and it is very simple to say that there is a plague or something here. ”

At this moment, everyone was silent, and their bodies were cold, and the deep malice represented in Locke's words made them shudder.

"No way, there are more than 10,000 inhabitants here! The Federation can't just let so many of us go! David said loudly, in fact, to give himself psychological comfort.

"Of course, because it is impossible to confirm the situation in the dense fog, in order to prevent the situation from expanding and control the situation as soon as possible, they will definitely send troops as soon as possible, but only if we can hold out for so long." Locke said slowly.

At this time, Ollie, the supermarket manager, said to Locke: "This agent, since you are so calm, there should be a way to evacuate safely, right?" ”

"If I leave the supermarket now and go out to find a car to leave, with the abilities I have honed over the years of my career, there is still a small chance that I will be able to escape."

Locke said slowly, "But I definitely can't take care of so many people here, so do you think it's better to stay here now or leave." ”

“……”

The supermarket manager had nothing to say at this time.

"Okay, when the reinforcement here is completed, I will patrol the surroundings to confirm the situation of the surrounding monsters, and if any of you want to follow along, you can also see if all this is true."

Speaking of which, Locke glanced at lawyer Norton, and at this point he looked into Locke's eyes, letting Locke know that he hadn't fully believed his words.

David's mind turned quickly, thinking that since the other party was willing to take the risk to save Madame Marjorie's two children, he must be kinder.

And there is a hidden meaning in Locke's words just now, that is, he can escape with a few people, and if he can brush Locke's favor, maybe there is a chance for him to take himself and his son.

Thinking of this, David said, "I'm willing to go on patrol with you." ”

"Very good, you are a smart man, as long as the people here can follow my orders, it is estimated that some of them will be able to survive until help comes."

"Is it just a part of the people?"

"Hostage protection is always the most troublesome job, and you know that sometimes pig teammates are more difficult to deal with than god-like enemies." Locke pointed to the few people who were still noisy.

Although Locke has shown his ability, only a dozen or so people are willing to fully believe him, most of the others are going with the flow, and some people's eyes are full of doubt and uneasiness.

"We might be able to find a sturdy building to defend it, it's too unsafe." Ollie, the supermarket manager, came up with an idea at this time.

In the plot, people want to escape because they have cut off contact with the outside world and can't see any hope.

But now that Locke said that the Federation would definitely send troops, all everyone wanted was to find a safer place to hide, and the glass walls of the supermarket really didn't bring much security.

"I know, but I don't know where the town is safer, and there are a lot of monsters outside, and if you go out together, there will definitely be a lot of deaths and injuries, and even most of them may be in danger."

The townsfolk in the supermarket are concerned with Locke's reward, and he doesn't want to risk it, not to mention that the glass wall outside is broken, and there is a warehouse in the back.

Locke can then have people block the metal door of the warehouse, and then just guard the door of Unicom Supermarket.

There is even an underground warehouse in the supermarket, but the area is relatively small and can only accommodate a dozen people.

But if it really gets to that point, the initiative is not in his hands, and he can only passively wait for rescue.

In fact, if you encounter a giant monster that looms in the movie, it is useless to hide anywhere, and you can trample the people here to death with one kick.

It can only be said that this mission has limited Locke, or that Locke's strength has not reached the level of being able to kill all sides.

If he wants to let as many people survive as possible, he can only lead people to defend passively here, unless it is absolutely necessary, Locke will not choose to flee with a few people.
