Chapter 394 Carmody's Strangeness

[Task: The supermarket is short of medicine, but the wounded need timely medical treatment, otherwise they are likely to die. ]

[Option 1: Propose to David to organize a team and leave the supermarket to go to the pharmacy to find medicine. [Corresponding route: Destiny]]

[Option 2: Don't care about the wounded. If he dies, he dies. [Corresponding route: Rebellion]]

[Option 3: Find other ways to keep the wounded alive. [Corresponding route: Seeking Knowledge]]

If You Huan chooses the fate route, he will become the person who directly pushes the plot into the next step.

In the movie, it was David who suggested going to the pharmacy to find medicine after seeing the wounded in need.

This time, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he left a drop of black water next to the burned brother, and then walked to the door of a warehouse in the supermarket.

He stretched out his hand and pulled, and the door that was originally locked from the inside was opened directly.

The lights from the supermarket shone into the warehouse, illuminating several confused faces.

These people are David, his wife, Amanda, Ollie, and a few others who support David.

They were gathered here because David had seen the unstoppable rise of Carmody within the supermarket.

As people outside of Ms. Carmody's religious group, if they do not take any action, one day this growing religious organization will sacrifice them.

David suggested leaving the supermarket, but the others had not yet made up their minds.

During this discussion, the locked door was pushed open. It was really too horrifying.

Even more shocking is the identity of the person who opened the door, and the words: "The burned man needs medical treatment."

David took a deep breath and wisely did not discuss why You Huan had found them so easily and opened the door.

"Yes, the most urgent thing now is to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine."

He stood up and said to his wife, "Billy is in your care while I go to the drugstore."

Then he looked at the man at the door hopefully and a little cautiously: "Sir, will you come with us--"

"No." You Huan interrupted him, "I will stay here."

He didn't explain why, but David came up with a plausible reason:

"Indeed... If no one takes care of the wounded, that woman... I don't know what she will do."

As he spoke, he glanced at the middle area of ​​the supermarket.

There, Ms. Carmody was leading a group of people in a prayer ceremony.

Soon, David made arrangements, brought a few people who had always supported him, and walked towards the supermarket door with a fire axe in his hand.

Sure enough, when Ms. Carmody saw him making such a fuss, she immediately came over with her supporters.

However, halfway through the journey, the sound of a wheelchair sliding nearby made her and the people behind her freeze in their tracks.

You Huan also came to the door of the supermarket, looked at the fog outside, and opened the door and went out without giving any explanation to anyone.

Their impression of him had already become odd anyway, so it didn't matter if it got a little weirder.

After he left, the supermarket was in dead silence until David broke the silence and said, "We have to go to the pharmacy to get medicine, otherwise the injured won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"…"

Ms. Carmody was filled with accusations and objections to David, but she couldn't say anything because of "that person's" behavior just now.

Behind her, everyone was as quiet as a chicken.

I don't know if it's just their imagination or if it's true.

As they spent more and more time in the supermarket, their fear of the man grew.

It's like a group of pigs and cows waiting to be slaughtered staying with the butcher.

At this time, an old woman in the crowd said, "I know where the medicines are in the pharmacy. Let me join you."

David stared at the white-haired, gentle old woman for a second and nodded.

On the side, Jim, who had opened the shutter door out of arrogance and almost let the tentacle monster enter the supermarket, also volunteered: "I...I'll join in too!"

"let's go!"

Just like that, under the silent gaze of Ms. Carmody, David and his group pushed open the supermarket door and walked into the fog.

After walking out of the supermarket, several people looked around.

In the fog, sounds were distorted and the world became extremely silent.

The fog also blocked their view of where You Huan had gone after he walked out of the supermarket before them.

David said, "Let's go to the pharmacy."

As they set off, You Huanshi actually came to the back of the supermarket.

I looked up at the huge white mist cocoon in the fog.

This behemoth is much taller than a supermarket.

If it weren't for the fog, those people would have seen the giant cocoon and been frightened.

He placed his hand on the surface of the cocoon, and drops of black water penetrated the cocoon layer woven by mist and seeped into the scales of the king cobra.

Although the main body only has 50% of the black water ability of the black water life, it is enough.

Just think of it as a little experiment.

No matter how you look at it, the substance called black water is a perfect match for the poisonous mist of the king cobra.

It would be nice if we could combine more abilities of other monster cards into King Cobra.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the curled up toad sculptures placed in the space card, which were the toad gods in charge of the Dream Toad King City in the Fenyu World.

He had previously used these sculptures to acquire a method for transforming his spiritual body from virtual to real over a period of time.

Afterwards, he came to the outskirts of the royal city in his dream and used a local resource to enhance the maximum distance and control of the monster shadows.

These sculptures do more than that.

They also each contain the secret techniques of the Dream Toad.

The "Dream" where the Dream Toad lives is a unique area in the high-level world of Fenyu. It is between the virtual and the real, and it matches the nature of the Monster Shadow very well.

I hope he can find advanced methods of using the monster shadows from these sculptures.

These methods are not something he cannot figure out by himself.

But the ability of Monster Shadow itself is limited. The effect it brings is limited and he cannot expand it.

If he wants to expand, he must rely on some unique external forces.

Thinking of this, he turned around and quickly returned to the supermarket.

Pushing open the supermarket door, Ms. Carmody, who was originally telling everyone something in the supermarket, paused and then continued passionately:

"...That is divine punishment! We can only be forgiven by praying for God's forgiveness... Everything else is evil and heresy! In the face of the great divine power, all unnecessary actions are useless."

"What we have to do is to pray devoutly and express our incomparable loyalty to God... In this unprecedented divine punishment, we must use the flesh and blood of those evil people as sacrifices to satisfy God!"

When she said the last sentence, she looked at You Huan, the meaning was self-evident.

What surprised You Huan a little was that many of her "believers" also stared at him.

It seemed as if she had forgotten the fear she had felt towards him before.

Is this something that can be done just by talking?

He observed silently for a while, still thinking that now was not the right time.

He quite disliked the character of Carmody when he watched the movie.

Not only did this person attribute everything to her gods, she also wanted to sacrifice David's son.

Later in the story, at her instigation, people actually push one of their compatriots out of the supermarket and leave him to be swallowed alive by the monster.

Religion can play a positive role at certain times, but in the movie, the group of people affected by it, led by Ms. Carmody, are worse than pigs and dogs.

In order to make everyone "calm down", of course Ms. Carmody had to die...

But he needed her to show more "content" before he would kill her.

He wanted to use this to verify some of his guesses.

Ignoring these people who were gradually falling into fanaticism and blind obedience, he settled in a corner of the supermarket and shifted his attention to the king cobra.

The giant snake, which was in a deep sleep, moved its body slightly.

At this point he was already able to finely control the power gained from using the enhancement points, so it did not cause any vibration.

He took out from the space card a few ordinary monsters that he had killed while wandering outside.

These include the Gray Widow, the Winged Butte, and a spider shrimp.

The spider shrimp is an extremely tall monster that looks like a spider. It stands upright in the front half and has a pair of huge claws.

The huge snake mouth opened and swallowed the monsters one by one.
