I'm so tired of traveling all the time
Chapter 26: The Mist Arrives
The air raid sirens continued to sound throughout the world, deeply stimulating everyone. Everyone was still in confusion, and everyone looked outside at the same time, as if they wanted to see clearly what was going on outside and what had triggered the air raid sirens.
At this moment, people in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows suddenly saw a panicked white man running towards them, looking back constantly, as if something was chasing him.
In addition, the sight of the man bleeding from his mouth and nose even scared a female clerk, who couldn't help but cover her mouth and scream!
The man ran into the supermarket in a panic. He didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his body and shouted to everyone, "There's something in the fog! There's something in the fog... John Lee has been dragged away!"
Seeing the panicked white old man, the supermarket supervisor, a small middle-aged man, stepped forward to comfort him, "Dan, take a breath first."
Apparently the town wasn't big and most people knew each other.
At this time, the white old man named Dan looked at the supermarket manager in the supermarket uniform and still nervously recounted his experience, "Something in the fog dragged John Lee away, I could hear his screams..."
Old man Dan looked around, hoping that everyone would believe him. Seeing that the door of the supermarket was still open, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Close the door, close the door quickly!"
As old man Dan shouted, others rushed to the supermarket entrance and French windows, all trying to get out. At the same time, there were constant whispers in the supermarket, and a child hugged his father tightly, shouting that he was scared and wanted to go home.
The air raid sirens outside were still lingering in the air, and Old Man Dan was still reminding the curious crowd, "Don't go out, there is something in the fog, and it dragged John Lee away."
After hearing this dangerous news, everyone began to panic, but some people obviously did not believe it and felt that it was safer to stay at home even if danger came.
So someone couldn't help but retorted, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm going back to my car!" After that, before everyone could react, the man in the hat pushed open the door that had just been closed and ran out.
"Sir, no!!!" Old man Dan shouted to the doctor, but it was too late. The man had already run out and was about to approach the parking lot.
At this moment, everyone in the supermarket was horrified to find that an overwhelming fog was spreading from a distance at a very fast speed!
In less than a minute, the fog had rolled over from the horizon to the front!
The man who ran out was instantly swallowed up by the fog before he could even find the car happily!
The few people who followed him out of the door were stunned by the strange and huge fog in front of them. Then, a few seconds later, the scream of the man just now suddenly came from the fog, "Ah! Ah ah----"
Without anyone's urging, the people still outside the door immediately returned to the supermarket and quickly closed the door tightly. Now everyone believed what Old Man Dan said.
Everyone heard the scream that suddenly stopped. The fog had completely submerged the supermarket. Everyone looked at the vast expanse of white outside in fear. At this moment, no one had any way to retreat.
Wen Liang was also stunned, but unlike others, he finally remembered where he had seen this familiar scene, and it was also a famous Cthulhu movie - "The Mist"!
However, unlike the two previous movies Cast Away and Cloverfield, although The Mist is a classic, I have only seen its video commentary, and that was a long time ago.
I was just thinking about the many people who died one after another in the movie.
[It seemed that after the fog spread at the beginning, first, Ka's mother wanted to go home to find her children, and walked into the fog alone. Then, when the male protagonist was looking for a blanket in the warehouse, he heard something hitting the warehouse's rolling door. The protagonist ran back in fright, and then met a short supervisor and several repairmen. After they came to the warehouse, someone opened the rolling door a little, and then an unlucky guy was rolled away by the tentacles extending from the outside.
Then someone tried to get a gun, but was bitten off half his body by the monster. During this time, a witch came out to deceive everyone. In the middle of the night, new monsters appeared, huge swarms of poisonous insects like locusts, and medium-sized monsters that preyed on locusts followed closely, smashing the glass of the supermarket and rushing in, causing casualties again.
Then, several people formed a team and went to the pharmacy to look for treatment drugs, only to find that the pharmacy had been occupied by spider-like monsters. The silk spit out by these spider monsters even had the corrosive power of acid, and more than half of the people in this group were killed or injured.
The heavy casualties made people powerless to fight against the monsters, so the witch's religious theory attracted most people. Then the witch exiled him and said that it was the military base that opened the dimensional wall and released these monsters, which led to the angry people taking their anger out on him and then driving him out of the supermarket. As expected, he was killed by the monster again.
The protagonist and his companions, unwilling to yield to the witch, secretly left the supermarket and saw countless deaths during their escape, including the protagonist's wife. After encountering the giant monster, the people in the car completely lost hope of survival. So he picked up a pistol with four bullets left and killed four people in his group, including his son, and he ran out of the car yelling, hoping that the monster would come and kill him soon.
But the result took a dramatic turn. What came with the rumbling sound was not a monster, but a torrent of steel from the human army, including Kama, who had left first...】
I quickly reviewed the general plot that I remembered in my mind, and found that although staying in the supermarket was a little safer than staying outside, it was actually limited in safety, especially when there were seventy or eighty people inside. There were too many uncertain factors, especially that witch who used the environment to bewitch people!
Instead of doing this, it is better to go out and find a safe environment, just like the brave mother Ka.
Boom! ! !
Suddenly there was an earthquake, the magnitude of the earthquake was not strong, but it was too sudden, which made everyone stagger. Several shelves in the supermarket also tilted, and snacks were scattered all over the floor.
A series of strange weather events foreshadowed the unusual situation here, starting from the storm last night to today's fog, earthquake, and the screams of humans in the fog... People in the supermarket have already understood that the outside world is no longer safe.
Many people couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to call their families, but they found that there was no signal. The mysterious fog not only blocked people's sight, but even blocked the mobile phone signal!
There has been a power outage in the town, and the light bulbs in the supermarket are using the backup power supply.
Seeing this, Wen Liang quietly grabbed the nervous Karen, and the two walked aside with the selected items. Wen Liang said, "Take away the things that are easy to carry, and don't take the others... It's not safe here, we are ready to leave at any time!"
Karen obediently picked up the supplies in front of her quickly, and asked with some concern, "But what if we encounter monsters in the fog?"
"Compared to the monsters, I am more worried about this place..."
Karen looked at Wen Liang in confusion, not understanding what this meant.
Wen Liang didn't point it out clearly, otherwise he couldn't explain why he knew the plot and the disgusting practices of some people, such as the fortune-teller.
"There won't be so few monsters. Hiding here is like hiding in a cement box. If the monsters surround us, we will have nowhere to escape. We might as well escape first while there are fewer monsters!"
Although Karen asked the question at this time, she was actually at a loss. She was also used to Wen Liang making decisions, so she nodded in agreement and quickened the selection process.
After the earthquake, when everyone got up, they began to speculate.
“It should be an earthquake.”
"I'm telling you, it must have been those damn factories that exploded!"
"Is everyone okay?"
"Is anyone hurt?"
The supermarket staff began to care about the people around them. At this time, the supermarket manager stood up and said loudly, "Everyone stay still, okay? Don't go out and wait for rescue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman spoke anxiously. It was the "Ka Ma" that Wen Liang remembered.
"No, I can't stay here, I have to go home to see my children."
Hearing what Ka Ma said, the pretty young female cashier immediately advised, “Don’t, don’t, don’t go out!”
The witch also took the opportunity to speak, "The god of death is outside, this is the end of the world..."
"Can you please stop talking?" the female cashier interrupted.
A black man spoke up, "Okay everyone, can you all just relax?"
"He's right, we all need to stay calm and analyze what happened!"
"I'm sorry, I can't stay here like this, I have to go home to find my children." Mother Ka couldn't calm down, after all, there were only two children at home alone.
Others were still trying to persuade him, and even speculated that the fog was poisonous.
Everyone started to agree, and agreed to stay in the supermarket. When faced with danger, humans will choose the side that is beneficial to them. This is human nature, as long as we don't impose it on others.
Mom Ka couldn't stand it anymore. She was also afraid of the fog outside, but she was more worried about her children at home.
Just when Ka's mother was about to collapse in disappointment, a sudden sound woke her up, and she was so shocked that she couldn't even react for a moment.
"I'll go with you!" Wen Liang took Karen's hand and walked out of the crowd, coming to Ka's mother, "Let's go, we'll go with you!"
At this moment, Ka's mother couldn't help crying with excitement. It was really a ray of hope.
After wiping away her tears, Ka's mother raised her head and followed Wen Liang through the crowd to the supermarket entrance. When she left, she looked back and remained silent for a long time.
Wen Liang and the other two stepped into the fog and completely disappeared into it!
