[Comprehensive] fog

All the bags of dog food and feed in the store have been moved to the side of the glass wall, building a wall as high as a person, but the supplies in the store are limited after all, and the entire glass is not sealed, and there is still one meter away from the ceiling A lot of glass was not blocked, but a few strips of tape were sparsely sealed.Lin Qing knew that flying insects as big as chickens and ducks would come in through the unblocked glass at night, and it would be safe to seal them all with tape. So high to do all the hard work.What's more, if they are all sealed, there will be no light in the room.

Even so, Lin Qing still wanted to try hard, even for her own safety.She went to Ollie and David and demanded that all the glass walls not blocked by the feed bags be covered with tape.

"No one would want to do a job like this," Ollie said.

Bud came over to listen to them too.

"You have also seen that the rope was pulled to the height... If it is from that height, we have no defense." Lin Qing said.

"Linna is right." David no longer called Lin Qing's surname so politely now, and he obviously agreed with Lin Qing's words with some worry: "Who knows if there will be flying monsters?"

"No way?" Bud looked at them anxiously.

Lin Qing looked back at him silently: "The tentacle monsters like octopuses have appeared, how can we be sure that more terrifying monsters or flying monsters will not appear?"

With worries, Bud was more active than anyone else in self-protection. He directed the staff in the supermarket to climb up by stepping on ladders and covered all the glass with tape. Let the light in the supermarket become very poor.Some people in the crowd questioned that the dim environment made people feel even more insecure.

"We have candles, flashlights, windproof lamps, spotlights and emergency lights." Bud comforted and said, "For everyone's safety, it is also necessary to take more defensive measures. After all, everyone has seen it. The rope is pulled so high, so precautions must be taken at high places.”

As the sky darkened, the preparatory work was almost done.The crowd dispersed into several small circles to rest and eat separately.The men were divided into groups, and they took turns to monitor the movement outside through the small opening left in front of the simple fortification made of bags.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and even the oppressive atmosphere in the supermarket seemed much better.

"Ah!" An exclamation broke the silence.A man in charge of guarding the east side of the glass wall fell to the ground with a terrified expression on his face.

David and Ollie leaned forward with the windproof lamp - through the peephole, it could be clearly seen that a bug like a large dragonfly that was more than a foot long was lying on the window.The sound of gasping resounded in the crowd—because everyone saw that more and more bugs landed on the glass, and because the high glass was sealed with adhesive strips, the specific shape of the bugs could not be seen clearly. Groups of fuzzy black shadows almost covered the glass.But the insect's sharp mouthparts and feet can be clearly seen from the peephole at a low place... and this usually represents the lethality.

"Is this... a bug?" Bud muttered to himself.

David and Amanda raised the spotlights and opened them through the window, and they could vaguely see these terrifying large insects flying everywhere in the fog outside.

The crowd looked out blankly, not knowing what to do.How many terrifying monsters are there in the mist?Several vulnerable women began to sob again.

"Turn off the lights!" In the silence, Lin Qing shouted loudly. "Take all the lamps in! The light will attract the bugs!"

"That's right! Insects have phototaxis!" Oli reacted the fastest and shouted, and at the same time he rushed over and took away the windbreak lamp placed by the window.

People always follow blindly. Once someone gives orders in this kind of chaos, people who are at a loss will quickly execute them.In the first action of Ollie, David, and Amanda, the lights were all taken away.But then, there was a crashing sound on the glass.A fuzzy thing the size of a child swooped onto the glass, snatching away an insect that landed on the glass and had no time to fly away.

It looked like some kind of strange bird through the blurred glass.But judging by the force with which it hits the glass, the creature is anything but cute.In just one click, cracks appeared on the glass wall as if they were hit by a heavy object.

The sound of "bang bang" came one after another, and similar creatures rushed over to prey on insects.There are more and more cracks on the glass. Fortunately, the glass is sealed with tape, so there is no need to worry about the glass breaking for the time being.

Lin Qing found Oli and Bud: "First block the glass with wooden boards or something, we can't use the lights. If this continues, even if the tape is sealed, the glass won't last long."

"You're right." Ollie nodded and turned to find someone to do it.

Because what Lin Qing said all along was serious business, and all of them proved to be effective, Bud now trusts her a little more.He looked at Lin Qing and asked, "What else do you think we need?"

Lin Qing was not too polite. She remembered the burnt person in the movie, so she said: "I saw you prepared torches with mops and alcohol. I think it's better to put the fire extinguisher aside just in case. , "Seeing Bud nodded and left, Lin Qing turned to Amanda: "Many people are relatively fragile psychologically, and they are about to collapse. Can you help to comfort them? As long as we all work together, the disaster will always pass. If someone is At this time, if the atmosphere of terror is maliciously exaggerated, if the hearts of the people are not in harmony, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"Okay, leave it to me." Amanda nodded seriously, and then split up with Bud to do things.

"You are great." David had been listening to Lin Qing saying this, and was amazed with approval. "Is this something you learned in college too?"

"No, this is what life taught me." Lin Qing laughed.

"What do I need to do?" David also relaxed, showing a little smile.

"I think Billy needs you more. If he sleeps well, come and help?"

David looked at Lin Qing in a daze: "Thank you."

With the efforts of most people, most of the glass windows were blocked by wooden boards, and most of the lights were turned off.Lin Qing and Amanda shuttled through the crowd together, talking to each other, comforting and comforting them.

"If you can, just turn on this light, okay? The night is short, and when the day comes, some things will get better."

"Sleep and it will be dawn, my dear, go to sleep."

"We still have so many people here, you are not alone, please come on."

"Thank you for doing so much, now go to rest and do the rest tomorrow, okay?"

"Please be strong. You still have children by your side. As a mother, you have to set an example for her, right?"

……

Ollie, Bud, Mr. Cornell, Miss Ripley... More and more people joined in, and people's emotions gradually calmed down while talking and comforting each other.

It was late at night, and people spread their clothes on the ground for a simple rest.In the dim light, there were small conversations and low sobs.For most, it's been a sleepless night.Even though the glass has returned to calm, and nothing scary has entered the supermarket, the danger remains.Federal Supermarket, how long can this temporary safe place last?

"I want Mommy," Billy murmured half asleep.

Amanda stroked his hair and comforted him softly: "I know, she will be here. Go to sleep, everything will be fine tomorrow." Her voice was gentle and firm, but Lin Qing saw that her beautiful green eyes were wet of.

Billy quickly fell asleep again under her pats and reassurances.David looked at his sleeping son, and then looked at Amanda with gratitude in his eyes.

"You are such a gentle person." Lin Qing said.She hugged her knees and sat next to them, watching them quietly.

Amanda hooked her lips: "You are stronger." She stroked Billy's blond hair and whispered, "You are still so young, but you are better than any of us."

Lin Qing smiled wryly: "I'm just timid." Yes, timid.Knowing that this is just another world, knowing that even death is just a failure of a mission, knowing that changing the plot may lead to a completely unknown future, but Lin Qing still did it.The reason is simple, she is afraid.She was afraid of those insect-like things flying into the supermarket, afraid of death and blood appearing around her.Even afraid that an accident will happen to myself.Even though she knew that death was not the end, she still couldn't help being afraid.Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when the scary things he had seen in the movie suddenly appeared in front of him, Lin Qing still received a lot of shock.

What other people fear is the unknown in the mist, but Lin Qing, who knows what will happen, fears death.

"Because I was afraid, I asked Bud to seal the glass window. Because I was afraid of evil people, I asked you to help appease everyone... In the end, I was just afraid." Lin Qing said softly, with her head down, her slender silhouette under the light It proved that it was just a slender girl.

David and Amanda looked at Lin Qing's figure with some pity, and David said: "You have done enough. We are also afraid. But fear will destroy some people, but some people can conquer fear." When talking about "some people", David paused, as if thinking of something.

"En." Lin Qing replied, and buried her face in her knees.Yes, I believe I can conquer fear.Lin Qing said repeatedly in his heart.This is a choice I have made long ago, a reality I am ready to accept, isn't it?Such fears are nothing compared to what I'm about to get.And I've gotten paid for it.Accept the reality girl, your choice, you have to keep going, vulnerability and fear can't help.

A few drops of tears fell quietly, and were quickly absorbed by the fabric, leaving no trace.
