Chapter 12 Mist 3

In order not to scare his son Billy, David changed his blood-stained clothes, but Norm was carried out of the warehouse bloody.Luckily Amanda blindfolded Billy.Another mother with a daughter in the supermarket did the same.

Norm's injuries and the tentacles in the warehouse convinced most of the people in the supermarket about the horrors pretty quickly.However, there are still some people who refuse to believe this. They think that although Noam is now in a coma and unable to tell the truth, the truth must not be as David said.

A few ladies were helping Norm with the wound. This handsome young man was as pale as a sheet of white paper. His chest injury was too severe, and he was dying due to a large amount of blood loss.There was only wine and cold medicine in the supermarket. Lin Qing took out hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicines from his backpack for Norm. There was no gauze, and Miss Ripley brought a large bag of towels to bandage the wound.

After several hours of discussion and deliberation, the people in the supermarket were divided into two groups.No, to be precise, it should be three dials.

Men led by David and Ollie began to reinforce the glass with duct tape, and stacked bags of dog food and feed to form a wall on the side of the glass window, like a cast fortification.

A group led by lawyer Norton Brant insisted that it was all a nasty lie, that fear had driven these men into a melee, and that the so-called " "Fighting Monsters" scene.Norton is David's neighbor, the kind who has a very bad relationship. It is said that the two of them even quarreled in court.As a lawyer, Norton eventually lost the case. He believed that the reason for losing the case was that the people of Bridge Pier were xenophobic.

"Of course there is something in the fog! That's your fear! You made up the biggest lie, what are you trying to do? Are you still using these dog food to trap us here?" Norton waved his hands, as if give a speech.Lin Qing felt that he was just refusing to believe and admit it.

"This is not a court." David said coldly. "There's no need for a defense here."

"It's not a defense! It's the truth!" Norton yelled, his voice sharp with eager emphasis.

"You're just fear!" interrupted Mrs. Carmody, a representative of the third group, Mrs. Carmody's group was just her and her God.She firmly believes that God has been standing behind her, listening to her voice.

"The coming of death scares you!" Mrs. Carmody said loudly: "This is true, this is the truth given by God! All this has been recorded! Chapter 15 of Revelation in the Bible—" She opened it and held it in her hand The black book in the book recited: "The smoke from the glory and power of God filled the temple, and no one can enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels are over!" Her voice became excited and passionate: "This is God's will!"

Lin Qing curled his lips disapprovingly, and refused to comment on such a stick-like remarks.But Lin Qing liked the fact that she was able to silence barrister Norton.In Lin Qing's view, Norton is basically another Curly.Fear keeps them from facing it.

Mrs. Carmody's announcement made some people who were already terrified by Noam's injury and unknown fate become more panicked.

"Mrs. Carmody, what the hell are you going to do?" Dan asked.The old guy, who had been terrified at first when he saw his companion disappear into the fog, had regained some energy, and he looked cautious and worried.

"Don't you understand? I'm ready! I'm ready to be called by the Lord!" said Mrs. Carmody reverently.

"Fuck you!" Curly stood up drunkenly, holding the wine bottle in his hand.He and another worker kept it up for hours after they emerged from the warehouse: "Your tongue is so long, you should really cut it off so you can taste it."

"This is the end! It's death!" Mrs. Carmody was not afraid: "The end of everything, the end of the world. The finger of the divine will is not in the fire, but revealed in the mist... Do you believe in God?"

"Believe it or not, I will kick your ass!" Curly strode forward, but was held back by the person next to him, even so, he was still swearing.

"Stop it, you're scaring the kids!" Amanda accused.

"Yes, they should be afraid." Mrs. Carmody said in a trance, looking at a little girl beside her. The little girl had tears in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry but she didn't dare to cry.

"Their pure and beautiful hearts are filled with lies, they don't believe in God, they don't know God," she stared at the little girl, and reached out to touch the girl's little face with a dazed expression: "There is only one God in this world, and that is the Jewish God." God, he was deceived and misunderstood, and now, he wants to use blood to avenge! It is time for you to distinguish between the redeemed and the damned. Only redemption can save yourself—blood !"

"What?" Her words made several people exclaim in low voices.

"Blood," repeated Mrs. Carmody. "God needs blood, Noam was the first, and more blood is needed now, and the devil will come and take more. You will atone, just as Abraham sacrificed His only son, proved his love for God—" Lin Qing suddenly felt a little itchy.There is nothing wrong with beliefs, but wrong beliefs or attempts to harm others in exchange for one's own advantages and status are sins.

A crisp slap ended Mrs Carmody's words.It was Amanda who did it. She looked at Mrs. Carmody coldly. Before she could speak, Mrs. Carmody had already continued. This somewhat crazy woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and cried out: " Blood! It's not enough! More is needed!"

"Fine, I can't hit her, but you can," Curly said, still pouring wine into his mouth.

"I can't accept it. Her ideas are too old for me." Amanda said helplessly.

"You've done it yourself again." Mrs. Carmody squinted at Amanda. "They're going to kill you, probably after nightfall tonight. They're coming tonight! They're going to take more lives!" She looked around the crowd: "At that time, you will call on the name of God and beg Sister Carmody to lead you to salvation! As for you—" She looked at Amanda coldly: "If you dare to hit me, you will be right If I do it, I will make you kneel until the storm subsides!"

"Slap!" Another crisp slap.This time it was Lin Qing who couldn't bear it.

"You!" Mrs. Carmody was anxious and angry, pointing at Lin Qinggang about to speak.

"Slap!" Lin Qing slapped another slap with his backhand without hesitation.

"Good!" Jim applauded.

"Ma'am, don't point your finger at me, it will make me more excited." Lin Qing said coldly: "Think you are a devout believer if you hold this book of Revelation? Stupid hypocrite."

Being called a hypocrite obviously made Mrs. Carmody look agitated: "You..." She was about to speak out again, and Lin Qing slapped her face again: "It's a courtesy to listen to others' speeches, ma'am, as if I didn't interrupt before Your speech, if you don't listen to me now, I will be very angry."

"Do you think you can prove your faith by holding the book of Revelation? Are you leading people to believe in God, or are you leading people to believe in Satan? Have you thought about your consequences? Revelation [-], verse [-], that delusion Their devils were thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are." Lin Qing viciously bit the pronunciation of "false prophet" and "devil".

Mrs. Carmody, who didn't believe what Lin Qing said was verbatim, looked at her revelation book and raised her head in disbelief. Her reaction seemed more like a guilty conscience to others.

"After the disaster, everyone who believes in God will be resurrected. Ma'am, being a pioneer for God, fighting the devil, expelling the devil, and killing the devil will prove your piety and loyalty, right?" In Mrs. Carmody's angry speech Lin Qing smiled on his expression: "Don't look at me like that, ma'am. You might as well read the Bible more, so as not to misinterpret the Book of Revelation. Otherwise, according to your explanation, the first person who needs blood to atone for sin is yourself Yes, 'Sister Carmody'."

Lin Qing ignored her, turned around and walked aside. "Nice job," Ollie said softly as she passed.Lin Qing smiled, and heard Ollie say loudly to the people around him: "Perhaps, we should tell this to people who come to Qiaodun Town from other places. Mrs. Carmody is famous..." He hesitated for a moment, as if He wanted to find an accurate adjective, but in the end he chose a relatively mild word: "Emotionally unstable."

Dan, Miss Ripley, Amanda and David and Bud are discussing.When Lin Qing and Oli came over, they heard Bud say, "There are no guns in the store." He is also the manager of the Federal Supermarket, but Bud is not as likable as Oli.This is smooth and false, accidental and shrewd.

"I have a shotgun in my car, parked in the southeast corner of the parking lot, red car." Said the shaggy-haired old man who started yelling about the chemical explosion.

"It's best not to go out, Mr. Cornell." David, whose ancestors have lived here, is a know-it-all. He knows almost everyone in the supermarket. "I remember Miss Garcia had a gun, and she was pretty good at it," David said.

Lin Qing took out two pistols as a gesture, and then put one of them back on his belt: "I use one for myself, and I have another."

"I have one too." Amanda said, she took out an unloaded gun, and found two more bullets, 12 rounds.

"How many bullets do you have, Lena?" Miss Ripley asked.

Lin Qing brought his backpack over and took out a palm-sized box in front of everyone. "Eighty rounds. I used two before," she said.Of course she will not take out all her reserves.

"Great." David was a little surprised.

Oli was also very pleasantly surprised, he asked in surprise: "How come you have so many useful guys, Linna?"

Lin Qing shrugged, and divided the bullets into two piles while answering: "I live alone and open my own shop. I think I need these to give me more courage."

After a brief discussion, apart from Linna and Amanda, the only one who can use a gun and his marksmanship is not bad, is Ollie.No, it should be said that the person with the best marksmanship is Oli. It is said that he won the Intercontinental Championship in 94.Lin Qing took out the gun for Oli to use, and Lin Qing also gave him forty rounds of bullets.

At around 05:30 pm, someone was preparing food for people in the supermarket, roast chicken and mashed potatoes.The gentleman who cooks is said to be good at roasting chicken, and he took quite a few from the freezer.Bud also doesn't mind people using supermarket stuff for free now.Just as the smell of roast chicken gradually filled the air, lawyer Norton led several people to the door.

"We're going out." Norton said, he smiled mockingly at David, and then clapped his hands: "Listen everyone, we have encountered a disaster, although I'm not sure whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the supernatural , and has nothing to do with the Bible, no offense, Mrs Carmody, but we can only save our lives if we ask for help." He paused, and said firmly, "We must go."

Norton and his "believers" have made up their minds, and no one is going to waste their words to persuade them.David asked Norton to tie a rope around his waist. "Please let us know you're at least three hundred feet out," David said.

Norton declined.But another man in a hood promised to help. "I heard you say you have a shotgun in your car, parked on the southeast corner, red car, I want to get that," he said to Mr. Cornell, who was beside Dan.He obviously heard what David and his group had said when they discussed weapons.Mr. Cornell hastily produced the key and gave it to him.

"If the rope isn't long enough, I'll cut it," said the man.Lin Qing felt that he never thought about going back to the supermarket, maybe he would drive away with a gun.

The hooded man went out with a knife in one hand and a rope in the other.Mrs. Carmody kept staring at everyone who went out, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Qing staring at her, she swallowed her words back.

The men in the store lined up in a row and rhythmically released the rope, David in the first place, followed by Bud and Ollie, Amanda stood in the back, Dan and a few others stood by and stood ready help.Lin Qing helped Billy stand aside.People were standing near the door, and everyone was staring at the rope tightly, as if they could see a flower blooming.The same is true of Mrs. Carmody, but Lin Qing feels that she is more eager for something to happen to confirm her words, so as to gain faith.

The rope was kept at a height of one foot from the ground, but it didn't take long before the rope stopped moving, and two or three seconds later, the rope fell to the ground.David tentatively pulled back, and the next second, the rope flew out as if being dragged by something. David's palm was instantly rubbed red and almost bleeding, and Miss Ripley quickly stuffed it into David's hand. Wei wears a piece of clothing with a rope.Several men tug-of-war desperately tug on the rope.The rope was dragged almost to the door frame above - a height that is absolutely impossible for humans to reach.

David was almost dragged out the door until Dan and a few other men came up to help and managed to hold the rope.

Like a tug of war, no one wants to let go.After ten seconds of stalemate, the rope loosened and landed again.David swallowed, and carefully pulled the rope back.When it was almost at the end, everyone in the supermarket let out an exclamation. The rope was soaked in blood. Lin Qing gasped and gritted his teeth.A woman in the crowd covered her mouth and sobbed.

David gritted his teeth and continued to pull the rope back a few feet. With the sound of dragging in the fog, as the rope was withdrawn, the sound of dragging was getting closer... Everyone saw clearly this time, the rope The lower body that belonged to the man wearing the turban was tied up, and the position above the waist was missing.

There were terrified screams from the crowd.

"Quick! Cut the rope! Close the door!" Bud shouted decisively, Dan cut the rope, and David rushed forward to close the door.

No one spoke, and there were rapid and heavy breathing and low cries everywhere.An atmosphere of panic and despair enveloped the people in the supermarket.That half body said it all.People who have never seen such a tragic scene are in a bad mood. Some women are crying so much that they are on the verge of collapse.Amanda hugged Billy, Mrs. Carmody covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide, the cashier Sally couldn't help holding the hand of the soldier Wayne beside her...Looking at them, Lin Qing's hands couldn't help He clenched the gun at his waist.
