Except for the whispering and the occasional sound of poisonous scorpions and flying insects hitting the glass wall, the supermarket was extremely quiet.

But at this moment, a voice came out.

"Locusts emerge from the smoke, and the Lord has given them scorpion-like powers......" Mrs. Carmody did not know when she took out a scented candle and held it in her hand.

"Shut up!" Locke walked over, tore a piece of tape, sealed her mouth, and said in a deep voice, "If I hear your gibberish again, I'll make a hole in your head with my baby!" ”

Feeling the cold touch of the pistol silencer at her temples, Mrs. Carmody suddenly did not dare to make any more movements.

Seeing that she finally quieted down, Locke returned to his original position and sat down, this woman is like a toad, although it can't bite, but it always makes Locke can't help but be disgusted!

"Great, you finally shut her up." Ms. Amanda leaned into Locke's ear and whispered.

Locke shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the woman who was about to cling to him, he knew that the other party was instinctively seeking security.

Ms. Amanda is not the first to do this, there have been several women who have tried to talk to her before, but they have all been rejected by Locke, this woman is okay-looking, and she can reach the aesthetic passing line if she dresses up carefully.

Locke didn't push her away, and although he didn't really plan to do anything, it was okay to pass the time.

"Are your missions often dangerous?" Sensing that Locke did not refuse, Ms. Amanda seemed to be encouraged, and did not care about Locke's outstretched hand, and looked ready to stick it upside down.

"Bang!" At this moment, there was a violent crash on the glass wall, which frightened everyone's hearts.

Locke knew it was a skeleton bird, and most of them used the scorpion insects as food, but fortunately they seemed to have hit the glass wall by mistake, and there was no sound after this time.

Through magic induction, Locke could sense the situation outside, and the skeleton bird just now swooped directly from the air, ate the poisonous scorpion flying insect into its mouth, and then hit the glass wall.

The skeleton bird's beak was quite hard, and after it hit it, it fell to the ground, shook a little and then got back on its feet, and flapped away again with a few flutters of its wings.

It seems that the perennial adaptation to the environment has allowed these skeleton birds to evolve the strength to not be injured when they hit hard objects.

However, this time it had left cracks on the reinforced glass wall.

In the plot, these guys crashed through the glass wall on the first night, causing a lot of chaos.

Now, it seems that the effect of letting people extinguish the candles and reduce the sound is still there, at least it does not attract the attention of those poisonous scorpion flying insects on a large scale, and it greatly reduces the chance of the skeleton bird crashing through the glass wall.

……

The long night was finally over, and thanks to Locke's efforts, the glass walls of the supermarket were not broken on the first night, but it was still impossible to contact the outside world, and it seemed that the dense fog had the ability to block the signal.

During the day, the outside of the supermarket was quieter, and Locke arranged for Ollie and David to direct the people to tidy up the warehouse behind them, plugging any possible gaps as a second line of defense.

He himself took a thread-bound ancient book from the East and read it carefully.

This is a book about the meridians of the human body, which Locke is studying.

Although modern anatomy has not found the existence of the so-called acupuncture points and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, its effect is real, otherwise where would acupuncture treatment come from.

Even the internal force of martial arts is imagined based on meridians and acupuncture points, and since this world has extraordinary powers such as magic, it must be possible to study something through these.

Locke's idea was to study the meridians and acupuncture points, strengthen them with magical stimulation, and see what effect would be there.

In fact, he secretly made some attempts himself, spent money to find some homeless people, secretly used them for experiments, and has already achieved some results.

Locke has discovered a complete meridian acupoint circulation route, and if it is continuously circulated with magic power, it will have a strengthening effect on the human body.

The efficiency of this is stronger than the effect of Locke's usual meditation, magic flowing through the whole body, and passively strengthening the body.

So now, when Locke meditates, in addition to condensing the magic power in the sea of consciousness, he will also consciously control the circulation of the magic power in the meridians and acupuncture points in the body.

Because of this harvest, Locke is also thinking about when to go to the eastern side to see if he can collect more useful things.

After everyone who hadn't slept well all night was almost rested, Locke took someone to check the glass wall, and found that there were cracks in several places, and his heart began to worry about the night.

After thinking about it for a while, he simply led someone to simply reinforce the location of the cracked glass on the other side of the glass wall with the few remaining wooden boards and glue tape.

During this period, he also killed fourteen or fifteen two-headed earth dog monsters and a giant centipede lying on the ground that was more than a person tall and more than ten meters long, all of which were monsters that Locke had never seen in the movie.

From the appearance of the giant praying mantis and the giant centipede, Locke knew that the danger level here was higher than in the movie, but it was not a threat to him.

In other words, except for the super-large monster that looms in the film, other general monsters are not a high threat to Locke.

It's no wonder that the base reward is only 800 potential points, which is not much different from killing the Cordis family.

On the second night, except for the sounds brought by the poisonous scorpions, flying insects and skeleton birds that appeared on time, the supermarket was calm, and everyone got used to these sounds and gradually relaxed.

But when it was daybreak, Locke found that the reinforced plank outside was broken in many places, and the glass wall would not be better, which made him know that the last night would not be too good.

The planks in the supermarket had run out, and thinking of this, Locke returned to the supermarket and rearranged the evening, so that women, the elderly, and children could rest in the warehouse at night, and other combat-ready people would stay in the supermarket outside.

After all, there are more than 100 people in the supermarket, and there are not so many people in the back warehouse.

"Li, thank you this time, if it weren't for you, we really don't know how to deal with those big guys, would we want some beer?" David asked Locke with a smile.

There is no shortage of food in the supermarket, at least enough for people here to use for a month or two.

After spending two days safely, especially seeing that Locke eliminated a giant mantis and easily killed the giant centipede, thinking that the Federation's rescue would come in two or three days, everyone's mood gradually improved.

And the black lawyer Norton also said that when the crisis is resolved, he can file a lawsuit with the federal government on behalf of the town, which will definitely allow everyone to get an astronomical amount of compensation, which will make everyone's popularity reach a high point.

If it weren't for the fact that the crisis hadn't been resolved, these people might have been ready to throw a party to celebrate.

Thinking that he would be able to lie on the compensation for his retirement in a few days, even David couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart at this time, and his wife, who had mostly been killed at home, couldn't suppress this excitement.

This may seem very inhumane, but it is actually very much in line with the thinking of most liberal-minded Americans, who are now dead and more important to cherish the life in front of them.

"That's right, Lee, be happy, don't be so serious all the time." Ollie, the supermarket manager, said as he handed Locke a bottle of beer.

He is only a supermarket manager, not a boss, so naturally he doesn't care about the loss of the supermarket owner, not to mention whether the supermarket owner is alive or not.

"I'm just worried that something will go wrong tonight." Locke looked at the glass wall and said, "Just in case, I got a few cars outside the supermarket, and if something goes wrong, I can try to drive away." ”

"No, you've been in the FBI for a long time, and you like to think nonsense." David patted Locke on the shoulder.

"I hope so, too." Locke said this, but his instinct told him that the next night, and the last morning, would definitely not be easy.
