When she spoke again, her voice had regained her composure, "Listen to me, you should all be able to tell that I'm here for tourism, and I'm just renting a few days in the town. My landlady and I took a car to come here. I bought food here, and encountered thick fog on the road. I ran away, but she didn't. Mr. Lawyer, you don't believe in monsters, you should believe in danger. Otherwise, this place is so close to the road, why no one has come to rest for a while and wait for the fog to clear ?”

This is indeed a persuasive doubt.The black lawyer was speechless for a long time before he said, "I believe that the fog is caused by artificial or natural causes, but I don't believe that there are supernatural factors in it."

In fact, despite his extreme stubbornness, the lawyer was right.

There really wasn't anything supernatural in this disaster, Mrs Carmody was farting the whole time.The storm caused a large-scale power outage, affecting the military base not far from the town. The ongoing "Arrow Project" in the base was affected by the power outage.There is a problem with the device leading to another planet, causing alien creatures to walk out of the base and flood into the town with heavy fog.

This is the background setting of the movie, a very unscientific scientific background.

Rescue came slowly, precisely because the soldiers were too busy dealing with the big trouble at the base to delay the rescue of the town.

But it happened so suddenly, Su Miao always thought that she was dreaming, and now she didn't know how to explain it.Moreover, if someone asked her how an outsider would know the inside story of the military, she would not be able to answer.

She thought for a while, nodded and said, "I agree, and I also don't think there are any supernatural factors."

Ollie said: "Mr. Norton, anyway, please stay. Things are indeed very wrong. As you said, going out is very dangerous. Even if you want to prove something, wait and see if the fog clears up ?"

Maybe because Su Miao is a beautiful young girl, not his neighbor David who once had conflicts with him, Lawyer Norton got the steps, and he didn't insist on refusing to come down.After reiterating his position, he walked back into the crowd and stood sullenly.As he gave up, there were fewer and fewer objections. Only Mrs. Carmody was still chanting "Judgment Day is coming, you will all die, and you can only survive by praying with me. You will always kneel before me and beg." when".

No one paid her any attention, and a man in a flowered turban told her to shut up, but Amanda talked her out of it.

People began to use the supermarket as a temporary refuge, looking for places to sit while Ollie, Bud, and a saleswoman named Sally distributed food.Billy was frightened a lot, his face was listless, and he was a little feverish.Ollie brought a bottle of medicine and told David that there was a blanket in the warehouse and he could bring it to Billy.

David thanked him gratefully, handed Billy over to Mrs. Repler, her friend Heidi, and Amanda, and went to the warehouse by himself.Later, Dan also came, and became a vulnerable group that gathered old people, women and children.

Su Miao stayed with them, sitting with his back against the shelf, still holding the fire ax in his hand, and stretched his neck to look around, trying to find the person in the military uniform.There should be three soldiers in this place, one of them is Sally's childhood sweetheart, they all come from that unfortunate military base, and they know a lot of inside information.

She hopes to convince them to tell the truth to the public, explain what the military is up to, and when the rescue will arrive, lest Mrs. Carmody take the lead and control the discourse in the supermarket with a sense of terror, and then treat the soldiers as blood sacrifices The sacrifice was stabbed and thrown out of the supermarket.This is also for the sake of your own safety.

But there were no soldiers in the supermarket.

Amanda asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

"Soldiers," Su Miao simply replied, "Where are the three soldiers? Has anyone seen them?"

Not far away, Sally turned her head and glanced at her subconsciously, but turned back again, as if she didn't hear this sentence at all.Mrs. Rapler also showed a curious look, and said: "They have already left. Before the fog came, a few military vehicles came and took them out of the supermarket. They drove to nowhere, and they didn't even buy what they picked ...how did you know they were here?"

"..."

Su Miao was completely stunned, and let out a long "uh".

She would never miss such an important plot, the soldier should be trapped in the supermarket, why has he already left?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Sandra's plot is also very suspicious.Even without Su Miao's company, she would walk to the road cautiously, check the owner of the car cautiously, and be frightened by his miserable state.The only difference was that she wasn't supposed to die, with swarms of spiders and giant tentacles.

Maybe Su Miao's appearance attracted the insect swarm, but it was impossible for the three soldiers of Fuyun.She should have been squirming in the traffic when they were pulled away.

Referring to the plot of the cheating movie, as long as you wait calmly, a large number of soldiers will arrive in two or three days, bring equipment to eliminate the fog, and start to exterminate the alien beasts.But before there was a weird mobile phone, and there was Sandra who died tragically later, she no longer dared to refer to the plot.

What if the supermarket is hacked by bugs?What if the spiders from the pharmacy next door come and attack?What if the army arrives after many days?What if the army never arrives?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mrs. Rapler didn't ask further, "You are still a student, I'm so sorry that you came across this kind of thing when you came to visit us."

Su Miao forced a smile, "Yes, I'm studying art, and I'm on summer vacation right now. These things have nothing to do with you, and I didn't expect myself to be so unlucky."

Billy said suddenly, "Oh, my dad is a painter too. He paints New York and Hollywood."

Su Miao really wanted to say that it wasn't painting, and also wanted to say that she very much wanted to work in New York and Hollywood, and wanted to make a joke to make him laugh, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.At this time David came back with a blanket, wrapped Billy in the blanket, sat down beside him, sighed and said, "I really want to know how the house is doing, I really should bring my wife with me."

Billy huddled in silence.Mrs. Rapler said, "I'm not the same. I left Adam at home and came by myself."

Amanda said: "The fog looks dangerous. I don't think they will choose to stay outside when they see it. As long as they go inside, they will be fine."

David didn't speak, and Mrs. Rapler whispered, "God bless, I hope your words come true."

People were in groups of three or five, divided into many small groups, chatting solemnly.Su Miao was in a group, Lawyer Norton was also surrounded by a few people, the staff of the supermarket were very close, and everyone else found someone they were familiar with. The only one who was really alone was Mrs. Carmody.

But time passed by, and even she found someone who was willing to chat with her.

It was exactly eleven o'clock in the morning when Su Miao received the news, and it was probably just after twelve o'clock when he fled back to the supermarket.She looks at her phone every 10 minutes like a psychopath.But the content displayed on the screen has not changed at all, only the countdown is different from before.This made her give up completely, and began to hold her knees in a daze.

By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the dense fog still showed no sign of subsiding, and the atmosphere slowly became uneasy again.

Waiting is not terrible, what is terrible is endless waiting.

Time can change everything, and there is one more person standing beside Mrs. Carmody.Su Miao glanced at them, forced herself not to think about the change in the plot, and said in a low voice, "I said, we should think about what to do in the future."

In fact, everyone is thinking about the future, even Billy misses his mother, Su Miao is just the first to say it.David opened his eyes and looked at her calmly, "I believe you saw monsters, so I want to ask you, what are they, giant spiders and giant octopuses?"

Su Miao took out a pen and paper from her backpack, and drew the appearance of the monsters she knew on the paper, while explaining: "In addition to spiders and octopuses, there are also flying insects that look like dragonflies. .Of course, maybe there are more kinds of monsters, I didn't say that's all the danger."

"Especially after nightfall...if they were really bugs," she said, "would they swarm towards the lights in the supermarket and smash the glass? But if they were told to turn off the lights now, they wouldn't do it." .”

Amanda opened her purse and showed it to them.

In the purse was a pistol.

She said: "My husband made me wear a self-defense, but I don't know how to use it. I only practiced in the shooting range. By the way, will insecticide and fire axes work on them?"

Su Miao nodded.Mrs. Rappler stood up and went to get another pile of bug spray and flashlights to distribute to everyone.Billy held the painting in his hand and looked at the monster carefully.At this moment, Ollie noticed their strange behavior and came over to ask if there was anything he needed to do and if Billy's fever had subsided.

Oli's character is trustworthy and popular, so no one hides him.After listening to their thoughts and actions, he said with a wry smile: "I believe you too, but you have to understand that after all, they didn't see the monster with their own eyes. When it gets dark, there will definitely be people who can't bear it and want to go home .”

Su Miao shrugged indifferently, "I have done what I should do, if they insist on taking risks, can I forcefully stop them?"

Ollie sighed and said, "It would be nice to have a gun. I once won a championship in a shooting competition."

In the eyes of most people, this unremarkable short man is just a good old man, who knows that he has such a skill.After hesitating for a moment, Amanda decides to hand him the gun so she can make the most of it.

Ollie inspected the gun carefully, slipping it into the vest.David reminded: "I think we can still use fire, insects are afraid of fire."

"What if the fire bugs set the supermarket on fire, or burn people?"

Facing Mrs. Rapler's question, David was silent.In fact, there's a hapless guy named Joe in the movie who burns himself badly when he tries to burn bugs with gasoline.At any rate, only one person was injured. If there were many bugs flying around the supermarket with flames at the same time, it would not be impossible to burn the supermarket down.
