'Wooo-weee-woooo——'
The piercing air raid siren blared instantly. Everyone in the supermarket immediately stopped what they were doing and crowded in front of the glass curtain wall.
The town's supermarket had walls on three sides, but the front was entirely made of glass panels. Since serious crimes were unlikely to occur in such a small place, the builders naturally wouldn't spend extra money to build a layer of protection.
After all, the reinforced glass was enough for ordinary people!
"Monsters! Monsters! They grabbed old John!"
An old man, his chest covered in blood, ran over from the square, followed by a thick fog that blanketed everything.
The people in the supermarket immediately became terrified. Several people helped the old man inside the door and then tried to calm him down.
A portion of the people quickly rushed out of the supermarket, intending to find their cars or return home.
However, the fog was obviously much faster than anyone's actions, enveloping the entire outside world before most people could even react.
Then, everyone heard a series of heart-wrenching screams from outside.
Those inside the supermarket were instantly terrified. Communication signals had been cut off due to last night's storm. Now, even their vision was obscured by the thick fog. Coupled with the occasional screams, everyone's hearts immediately clenched.
Following that, the ground suddenly began to shake, causing the goods on the shelves and the ceiling panels of the supermarket to crash down.
After a full minute, the ground's tremors finally ceased. The people remaining in the supermarket began to stand up one after another, looking at each other, unsure of what had happened.
"It's probably an earthquake, and the smoke outside is likely from a chemical plant accident!" Before anyone knew what was going on, the black lawyer, Norton, immediately began to explain, drawing on his extensive professional knowledge.
Of course, it was also possible that he desperately needed an idea he could understand to comfort himself. After all, both the thick fog and the earthquake had come too suddenly, making him, who had always considered himself an elite, feel threatened.
Norton is an elite lawyer who works in New York. He only comes to Valia Town for vacations.
From a vacation perspective, Valia Town is pretty great. It has mountains and water, the scenery is beautiful, and it's not very well-known, so there aren't any crowds. It's definitely a good place to retire and relax.
But right now, Norton is really regretting it!
Why did he think it was a good idea to buy a villa in this remote, run-down place?
A sudden natural disaster has cut off all contact between this broken town and the outside world. Now he can only hide in a supermarket with a bunch of country folk, which makes Norton feel incredibly desolate.
"Can anyone help me get home?" A woman with a crew cut, almost bald, suddenly asked the crowd at the door, crying.
Her home was just at the other end of the square, less than a hundred meters from the supermarket, usually a two-minute walk at most.
But now, the outside world was shrouded in thick fog, not to mention the various screams that had just come from outside, which made people wary.
"Please, I beg you, help me! I have two children at home. Wanda, the oldest, is only eight. They must be terrified right now!" The woman with the short haircut continued to sob and plead for help, but everyone in the supermarket could only comfort her and tell her to stay calm, not to rush out and get herself killed.
Li Qingyuan watched the scene with some boredom. He had almost forgotten the plot of the fog, as this movie was more of an analysis of the human heart than a monster movie. He had watched it on fast forward back then, so he wasn't very familiar with these melodramatic plot points.
Honestly, the outside world was full of danger. Who would really risk their life to help just because of this woman's words? Who did she think she was?
No money, no power, and not even good looks, plus she was a mother of two. Even the men who might have been interested wouldn't be anymore!
Not to mention, because it was a low-budget production, there weren't any pretty girls in the whole movie, which was a pity.
At least the last plot world had Ruth!
"God will curse you all!" Seeing that all the men were unmoved, the woman with the short haircut knew she couldn't rely on their help. She steeled her resolve and prepared to push the door open and go out alone.
It has to be said, after becoming a mother, a woman's willpower and decisiveness are hundreds of times stronger than before.
"Mrs. Marjorie, don't!" The others were still trying to persuade her, wanting her to give up the act of going out to her death.
After all, so many people rushed out earlier and haven't been heard from since. No one knows if the fog is poisonous. If they go out there, it's a near-certain death!
"Wait a minute!" Li Qingyuan, who had been planning to watch the show the whole time, was stunned when he heard what the others called the woman with the buzz cut. He immediately called out.
This woman was actually the so-called Mrs. Marjorie? One of his mission targets?
"You? Will you help me?" The woman with the buzz cut was filled with hope at first, but when she turned around and saw that the voice came from a Chinese man, the color drained from her face instantly.
As a native of Valia Town, Mrs. Marjorie knew almost everyone in the town. That's why she had hoped that her old neighbors would help her out of consideration for their past relationships.
Li Qingyuan's appearance clearly showed that he was a tourist from out of town. In this situation, where even the locals were unwilling to help, it was naturally even less likely that an outsider would.
"Of course. But please wait two minutes!" Li Qingyuan immediately started taking things from the supermarket shelves.
He had indeed prepared a lot of explosives to carry with him these days, but those were his treasures. He couldn't waste them right away.
Anyway, there were plenty of raw materials in this large supermarket, so making some simple Molotov Cocktails on the spot wouldn't take more than two minutes.
By the way, to improve his survival abilities, he also used the three free attribute points that he had been saving.
Several kinds of monsters appeared in the movie The Mist. The most pathetic ones were naturally the Poison Scorpion Flies and the Skeleton Monster Birds that fed on them.
These two creatures were so weak that ordinary people could swat the flies with a mop, and a few people could beat the Skeleton Monster Birds to death with sticks.
Then, the slightly more powerful ones were the Parasitic Spiders. The silk they spat out was highly corrosive. They liked to capture people and then lay eggs inside their bodies, somewhat like a weakened version of the Xenomorph.
Except that the Xenomorph laid one egg at a time, while the Parasitic Spiders laid a whole nest, with thousands upon thousands of eggs!
These three kinds of trash were, at best, just ants among monsters. They mainly relied on their numbers and inherent toxins to win. If they really fought, a normal person, after understanding their fighting methods and overcoming their fear, could at least get a five-kill!
Of course, this was impossible. When humans faced these unknown creatures, they would unconsciously feel fear, so once they really encountered them, they would basically become the monsters' food.
