The Infinite Journey of Cruelty

Chapter 31: : So Thick?

The power outage in the town and the entry of the army didn’t make the town’s indisputable response much. They believed that someone would always handle this kind of thing.

So what should everyone do? Most people felt a sense of crisis because of the power outage at home and the extremely violent wind last night, and began to stock up on supplies in the only supermarket in town.

Seventy or eighty people poured into the small supermarket at once. Most of them were neighbors who looked down and didn’t look up, so the sound of greetings and small talk was the main theme here.

It was only yesterday that a stranger broke into the backyard and stepped on a toy car. David was a little worried about his son, so he took him to the town to go shopping, and he also carried a black neighbor who had a financial dispute with him.

In fact, he doesn’t like this black neighbor very much, but today his family’s tree smashed their small dock. When he went to the other party to discuss compensation, he saw that the classic car he envied was given by the tree. Overwhelmed, and happy at that time.

Seeing that Brent Norton readily agreed to pay compensation, and seeing his pitiful appearance without a car, David restrained himself from laughing and took Brent to the supermarket in the town.

In the supermarket to buy the food they want to buy, David also made a pay call by the way, but the result is still the same, the signal here seems to be blocked, and it is impossible to contact the outside world.

Back at the supermarket, David greeted the female cashier at the front desk and walked to the entrance of the supermarket.

As an outlier in the town, when the people in the town generally earn a few hundred dollars a month, he can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month by painting such an extremely talented job. He has a very high reputation in the town.

Having lived in the town for so long, I have become familiar with the employees in the supermarket.

One of them, Ollie, a chubby supermarket employee with small glasses on his face, has a very good relationship with him.

After he sighed about the rare grand occasion in the supermarket, Ollie, who was responsible for packing the goods into bags for the paying customers, said, “Because of the storm, everyone wants to stock up, and we were so busy as soon as we opened the door. ”

David nodded and responded, “Unfortunate day”

Although he was talking about the busyness of the supermarket, Ollie was smiling because he liked the lively town, “Everyone is unlucky today, isn’t it! Good morning, Mrs. Carmody~!”

The object of Ollie’s greeting was another equally famous person in the town. This is a fanatical religious believer. He likes to wear a white turban and gloves on weekdays. Bible.

Every time I feel like a crazy woman, she seems to be only in her thirties, but her words always make people feel weird.

“There are so many people queuing up, I really don’t know if it’s good or bad, but let’s make do with it for now.”

Others said hello to her, but Carmody, who was in a daze, only approached Ollie, said something strange, and walked into the supermarket.

Watching Carmody leave, Ollie and David looked at each other and both shrugged.

Saying goodbye to Ollie, who is still busy, David soon found his son and black neighbor Brent between the two shelves.

“Your wife should be a doctor. With her handwriting, she will definitely make a fortune in Manhattan.” Brent held David’s shopping list in his hand, and by the way praised his wife’s writing “beautiful”.

But David was very vigilant about this. Some special publications had labels such as wife, no miserable, black neighbor, etc. crossed his mind, which made him abrupt, and rudely snatched the shopping list from Brent, laughing. : “Yeah, it takes a long time to understand…”

How can the blond wife be seen by others!

climb!

Then Brent took the shopping basket, gave David a meaningful look and walked away.

David didn’t care about this, on the contrary, little Billy was more concerned about the relationship between the two, because he had seen the two quarrel before, and he simply wanted to ease the relationship between his father and his neighbor’s uncle.

“Have you become friends with Uncle Brent?”

Unfortunately, it is difficult for children to understand the way adults think. David shrugged, “It’s not a friend, it’s hard to say.”

……

The shopping time is over, and many people are waiting in line to check out. There are also three people in military uniforms in the supermarket. Occasionally, some soldiers will go to the town to buy some things, so most people should do what.

But when they were so leisurely, the white mist wafting from the other side of the mountain had already enveloped most of the town, and was still spreading rapidly towards this side.

Because the communication system was completely cut off, the people in the supermarket were completely unaware of the existence of Bai Wu.

Several police cars and fire trucks suddenly galloped past the parking lot in front of the supermarket, in the direction of David’s house. Everyone in the supermarket was attracted by the sound of the fire truck’s whistle and raised their heads to look outside.

It has been a long time since there has been an accident that requires the dispatch of fire trucks in the town. Those old fire trucks are doubtful whether they can still be started. This time, two fire trucks were dispatched. Something must have happened?

Everyone in the store started to talk, and Billy also raised his head and asked his father if it was his mother that had an accident.

David’s expression also seemed a little worried, but he still smiled and comforted Billy and said it was all right. As soon as he finished speaking, the town’s air defense sirens rang in the sky of the town…

A man walked out of the corner of the street outside the supermarket, followed by a thick white fog, only a dozen meters away from him. When he walked, the white fog followed him like a ghost.

The people in the supermarket recovered from the shock of the air-raid alarm, and noticed the thick white fog that could not be dissolved outside the glass wall.

He stopped talking and looked outside at Bai Wu and the middle-aged man who stumbled away, guessing what happened outside.

Everyone temporarily put down the goods in their hands and walked to the glass outer wall of the supermarket to look out.

Some showed concern, while others covered their mouths with their hands, guessing that the white fog outside could be the chemical gas leak that is often published in some newspapers?

The middle-aged man who turned back three steps had bloodstains on his face and T-shirt. It looked like a nosebleed after a fall. After seeing a group of people in the supermarket, he was a little surprised, and then he moved towards him. Running from the supermarket, the white fog behind him also spread.

The middle-aged man immediately shouted eagerly, “There is something in the fog!”

The sudden shouting made the quiet people in the supermarket a little startled.

The middle-aged man seemed not to notice, and kept saying that there was something in the fog, “That thing has dragged John Lee away!”

“Dan! Take your breath away!”

Ollie knew this middle-aged man, and when he saw his anxious and frightened appearance, he quickly stepped forward to comfort him, and helped him sit on the big bag of dog food beside him.

Seeing the old acquaintance, the middle-aged man looked at Ollie with some sadness, and said with tears in his eyes: “That thing in the fog dragged John Lee away! I can hear his screams… Close the door! Close the door! ”

After sitting on the chair, he saw the mist behind him, and was about to approach this side, so he hurriedly asked the people around him to close the door.

Several enthusiastic townspeople with quick hands and quick eyes were very obedient and closed the two glass doors of the supermarket, but some people still didn’t believe it. They reopened the door and ran out of the supermarket, wanting to drive away from this ghost place.

Everyone just watched those people break into the fog without stopping, but it didn’t take long for a few screams of panic and despair came from the fog, and the townspeople, who were still a little hesitant, quickly closed and locked the glass of the supermarket. Door.

……

Li Wei thought he was lucky and found a black bear in the nearby forest that was chasing down a few cubs. He rescued the cubs and assimilated the adult black bear.

Then he randomly picked a little black bear with the smoothest hair and flew back to the town, ready to stuff Anna with the returned money and the black bear. He didn’t know if the brown bear doll could deceive Anna by turning into a little black bear.

But… who can tell him why the town is shrouded in white fog?

Which giant is this smoking? so thick?
