Chapter 388 Supermarket

You Huan entered the mall before David.

The moment you enter, the panel prompts that the first task has been completed.

[Get reinforcement point*1]

[Get function card · truth puzzle *1]

[Puzzle of Truth (Part 1): Destiny, everything cannot deviate from destiny.]

Judging from this statement, he needs to collect multiple function cards to piece together a truth, or maybe a story?

[Task: You finally enter the supermarket, what are you going to do? ]

[Option 1: Go shopping normally, buy items and check out. [Corresponding route: Destiny]]

[Option 2: Prepare for the "crisis" in the dark. [Corresponding route: rebellion]]

[Option 3: Observe everyone in the supermarket. [Corresponding route: Seek knowledge]]

He stared at the mission information on the panel, paused thoughtfully for a moment, and then chose option three.

The other options disappeared like smoke in an instant.

Driving an electric wheelchair that can move faster than a person can run, he calmly entered the shopping area.

Between rows of shelves, dense crowds of people were picking out goods, occasionally glancing at him.

After all, he was a stranger in the town and had an uncommon means of transportation, a wheelchair.

He took an item from the shelf, but quickly looked away from the product and glanced at the people around him naturally.

His expression was so calm and upright that even if someone noticed him looking at him, they would not feel anything was wrong.

He saw a group of characters that appeared in the movie.

The young cashier girl, the short and fat clerk Oli, the tall and thin supermarket owner, and the middle-aged motorcycle uncle dressed like a trendy person...

"God will bless us..."

Suddenly, a fast whisper came from not far away.

He raised his eyes, looked through the gap between the shelves, and saw a lady who was one shelf away from him walking by, muttering a little nervously.

This lady with plain long hair and an unpleasant face is the most fanatical religious person in the whole town, Ms. Carmody.

In the movie, when people were trapped in the supermarket by fog, she promoted her theory of God's punishment and organized a small cult in the supermarket.

This character is definitely the most disgusting character in the whole movie, which made him look at this person a few more times.

In the entire supermarket, only a pair of young eyes noticed him looking at Ms. Carmody.

David's son Billy stood silently on the ground and looked up.

In his eyes, the adult world is so tall and even a little weird.

Among all the "adults", he thought that the young uncle he had just met was the strangest one.

There is no reason, just a...child's instinct.

"Billy! It's time for us to go!" At this time, David picked him up and interrupted his observation.

At this moment, Ms. Carmody seemed to have received some revelation from somewhere, and suddenly turned her head -

Across the shelves, she saw a pair of calm eyes that seemed to be staring at her, which made her feel cold in her heart.

But the next second, the eyes naturally moved away, as if they just happened to look into her eyes.

She shook her head slightly, continued to recite words of praise to God, and walked away.

At this time, David had already arrived at the checkout counter and was waiting in line to check out.

Perhaps because a terrifying rainy night had just passed, many people had the idea of ​​stockpiling supplies.

It also seems to be due to some inexplicable biological instinct.

There are many extra people coming to the supermarket to shop today.

While waiting to check out, the supermarket's glass door was pushed open again and three soldiers walked in.

The townspeople all recognized them; they were soldiers stationed at a military base in the mountains near the town and often came to the town to relax.

Among the three soldiers, the one standing in the middle was the youngest and most handsome.

He thought he had concealed it well, but in fact, as soon as he walked in, he couldn't take his eyes off the young cashier girl.

He has always had a crush on her.

You Huan took everything in from a distance.

A prompt for the second task completion appears, but there is no reward.

It seems that whatever reward he can get may be random, or it may be related to the difficulty of the task.

The third task has not yet emerged.

Just as the three soldiers in front entered the supermarket, another soldier wearing a white helmet came behind them.

He walked up to the three men and told them in a serious tone that the army's vacation was temporarily cancelled and now the three of them had to return to the team immediately.

After telling the three men the bad news, he turned around and left in a hurry, as if there were more soldiers who needed to be notified.

"Woo——"

Not long after he walked out of the supermarket, a shrill air raid sirens suddenly sounded over the town!

At the same time, the king cobra that was dozing off in the forest noticed that the speed of the fog around it suddenly increased.

Countless pure white mists stretched out countless tentacles like living creatures, swaying and rolling down from the high ground, rushing towards the town!

He knew that the plot point had finally arrived. The snake's body first shrank slightly, and then -

With a muffled explosion-like sound, the huge snake body rushed towards the town like a speeding train, along with the fog!

If you can overlook the entire town at this time, you will find that the fog seems to be everywhere in the blink of an eye.

Milky white mist rolled up and surrounded the supermarket from all directions.

Just when everyone in the supermarket was a little confused by the air raid alarm, an old man with blood coming out of his mouth and nose suddenly rushed into the supermarket from outside!

He yelled, "Something's in the fog! Something's in the fog and dragged John Lee away! Close the door!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the clerk Ollie could come forward to comfort him, a collective inhalation sound came from behind Ollie.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, outside the supermarket, in the rapidly rushing white fog, a huge black shadow suddenly flashed by, stirring up the fog in the distance!

The next moment, several people near the gate hurriedly closed the supermarket door.

Everyone slowly stepped back, watching the fog aggressively rolling and hitting the supermarket's all-glass exterior wall.

Through the all-glass wall, they can clearly see the thick white fog enveloping the entire world outside the supermarket.

However, unlike in the movies, You Huan could clearly see that the glass door of the supermarket could not block the fog.

Wisps of white mist were pouring in from the gaps in the gate.

If you look closely, the mist is even penetrating the gaps between glass molecules, pouring in from all directions!

He frowned slightly. If this continues, the mist will fill the entire supermarket and the plot will be completely disrupted.

It's not that having no plot is bad, but he still wants to see how the plot will develop next.

So he moved his fingers slightly.

A drop of thick black water condensed at the fingertips and instantly turned into a tiny black mist that was invisible to the naked eye.

When the black mist transformed from this drop of water spread out, the fog that was trying to invade the supermarket, and even the huge fog barrier outside the supermarket trembled slightly.

This slight tremor instantly caused the entire ground to shake violently!

The lights in the supermarket suddenly flickered, causing many people to exclaim in surprise.

Soon, all the fog that had tried to invade the supermarket retreated.

The part that remained in the supermarket was swallowed up by the black water.

Everything is back to normal.

Supermarkets have also stabilized.

At this time, the old man who had just run in shouted again: "There is a monster outside! The movement just now was the monster in the fog!"

Someone echoed him, "I just saw it with my own eyes. A huge black shadow flashed through the fog! You saw it too, didn't you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately responded.

"I saw it too. It was really scary!"

"That shadow is at least ten stories tall!"

Some people also expressed disdain for this, including David's lawyer neighbor.

He said: "It's just that you guys are nervous and mistakenly think the electric poles or birds outside are monsters. We have to believe in science. It is impossible for such a large creature to exist on land!"

It's true that based on the environment and biology of the earth, what he said does make some sense.

But anyway…

The black shadow, the monster they were talking about... was actually a king cobra...

The king cobra lying outside the supermarket opened its snout and sneezed silently. There were quite a few people in the supermarket talking about him.

He moved his body and moved to the back of the supermarket, preparing to hide himself behind it.

His huge snake body rolled over the ground, and everyone in the supermarket felt their feet tremble slightly again.

"Is there really a monster in the fog?"

Ms. Carmody stood by the glass wall, looking into the unfathomable fog that separated her from the wall, and whispered, "This is the god of death."
