Chapter 147: Mist 4 (2 in 1 chapter)
In the distribution room of Raccoon Town Supermarket, one hour after Charlotte left.
With force on his palm, a fire shovel was inserted into the severed tentacle. Harry's expression was tense and veins on his hands bulged as he resisted the tentacles that were squirming and biting towards him.
Soon the twisting tentacles lost their resistance and turned into a pool of dirty water. Harry, with an ugly face and pale lips, joined the battle again, feeling more and more that Charlotte was in great danger.
Not long ago, David, a customer who was also trapped here, came to the distribution room to look for and collect supplies.
He happened to find that a generator had malfunctioned and was emitting thick smoke. After shutting down the generator, he also noticed a strange noise coming from behind the rolling door next to him that led to the outside of the supermarket.
David immediately rushed back to the supermarket, and after comforting his son a little, he quickly told the supermarket staff about his discovery. Although the staff did not quite believe it, they still followed David to the distribution room. Harry, who heard about this, also chose to come and help.
The supermarket staff turned on the generator again and checked the abnormality. They concluded that the exhaust pipe outside the door was blocked, which caused the exhaust port of the generator to spray foul odor into the distribution room.
Despite David's objections to the monster, the employees thought David was a timid coward. In particular, Jim, who had a fierce face, hated rich people like David the most.
So, under the confident leadership of Jim, the supermarket mechanic, everyone opened the rolling door.
The next moment, a tentacle rushed in quickly and wrapped around the young man who volunteered to go out and repair the generator pipeline without believing David.
And now...
"Mazefak!! Damn it, stop standing there like an idiot, close the damn rolling door!" Harry yelled at the mechanic Jim who was still standing there in a daze.
Shouting, Harry stepped forward without hesitation and hit the tentacles wrapped around the young man's chest with a shovel.
Seeing that the tentacle only twisted a bit and did not loosen, Harry became ruthless. He held the shovel upright and swung it hard, cutting the tentacle with the side of the shovel.
This finally worked. The tentacle that was wrapped around the young man loosened, and David, who had been pulling the young man, finally pulled back the young man who was bitten and bruised all over by the tentacles.
But before everyone could be happy, a tentacle far larger than the previous one rushed into the rolling door, slowly explored forward along the ground, then suddenly rose to a height of more than two meters, opened its mouthparts wide and bit forward.
This horrific scene shocked everyone except Harry and the shovel in his hand. He shouted again like Runtu who was stabbing a wild beast:
"Close the shutter door now!"
He shoveled hard at the standing tentacle, then raised his hand and shoveled it down, cutting the retracted tentacle directly into the ground.
Several tentacles rushed in from under the rolling door, and Harry, who was in the lead, slapped and slashed them.
After rescuing the young man, David quickly stood up, pushed away Jim who was still in a daze, jumped over the tentacles on the ground, came to the rolling door, and reached out to pull the switch on the side.
bang——
Another shovel hit the ground. Facing the tentacles rolling towards him, Harry quickly raised the shovel to block them.
Then the shutter closed, and Harry watched in a cold sweat as the tentacle retreated, dragging the shovel with it.
The switch room was quiet again. Harry finally couldn't hold on any longer. He sat down on the ground, shook off his sweat-soaked paint party T-shirt, and said with a wry smile:
"Wow~ Holiday travel~ is really fucking exciting——"
Then the laughter rose:
"I will definitely come again next year during the holiday before I go to college."
David, who was somewhat worried, walked over to Harry and helped him up, and asked:
"Are you okay~?"
"It's okay~" Harry stood up and waved his hand with a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay~" David patted Harry's shoulder with emotion.
Fortunately, you are there.
Compared to Harry, these staff members were just big-talking losers, not as useful as a painter like him.
"Look!" Ollie, holding a fire axe, pointed at the severed tentacles on the ground and exclaimed.
In everyone's sight, the tentacle fragments on the ground stopped wriggling one after another and slowly turned into dirty water.
Harry was fine, but the rescued boy Norm was much more seriously injured.
All the places on his body that were caught by the tentacles were bitten, his whole body was covered in blood, and now he fell into a coma.
"Damn it!"
Looking at Jim who was still standing there in a daze, it was he who ignored David's dissuasion and insisted on opening the door to repair a generator which was completely unnecessary.
An angry David stepped forward and slapped Jim in the face, which made Jim tremble and regain his senses.
"I, I, I... you didn't explain it clearly before. I didn't know there would be such a monster outside the rolling door. You, you should explain it more clearly! I didn't know..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" David said while holding up the groaning Norm.
"Let's carry him back first..."
The bloody Norm was carried out of the distribution area, which scared everyone in the supermarket. They had just been discussing when the fog would clear.
The mysterious witch Carmody came forward, followed by several people who believed in her.
"It has really come. This is the Lord's punishment for our sins throughout our lives. This is the Day of Judgment. It is the evil result we have sown. It is God's judgment on us for no longer believing in Him..."
Harry, who was carrying Norm and walking in front, ignored him and just pushed Carmody who was blocking the way away.
Looking at Harry and others covered in blood, in the shocked eyes of the supermarket manager and the people around, several people carried Norm to the cash register.
Harry reached out and used force to overturn everything on the cash register, clearing it out, and then placed the injured Norm on it.
The cash register fell to the ground with a crisp sound and then broke. The banknotes and coins inside spilled out and rolled to the ground in front of everyone in the supermarket.
Amanda, a supermarket cashier, hurried forward, stepped on the US dollar bills and came to Harry's side, observing the large and small wounds on Norm's body, and said in a lost voice:
"Oh my God! What on earth is going on?"
Facing the unconscious Nomu, Jim replied with a trembling body:
"Monster, there is a monster in the fog, and several long and big tentacles wrapped around him... We rescued him..."
"What?" "Impossible!" "You must be lying..." "This can't be true..." "Judgment Day..."
Everyone started talking at once, and everyone expressed their own different opinions.
MJ also hurried over. She looked at Norm's bruised body, frowned slightly, and asked Amanda beside her:
"Do you have any medicine here?"
"This... our supermarket doesn't have it..." Amanda shook her head.
"We only have hemostatic sponges and bandages... Let's stop the bleeding first... The medicines we need are only available in the pharmacy in this small town..."
She turned around and looked at the fog and the gradually darkening sky. Amanda continued with fear in her heart:
"Going to the pharmacy? That's really not a good idea..."
Panic and crying spread among the crowd. Some people didn't believe it at all and tried to rush out of the supermarket desperately.
Everyone was a little confused and started arguing.
"This is insane! This is absolutely insane! Who would believe such a thing!?"
"But this morning the demon..." He was drowned out by others before he could finish his words.
"Do you really think we're easy to fool? You're trying to trick us into thinking we're outsiders, right? You have no manners!"
"Tentacle~ Such a big tentacle was on the ground just now. Now it has turned into sewage. I saw it with my own eyes..."
"Gnomm's injured body is here now..."
"I have a lot of things to deal with. This pathetic joke of yours has come to an end. Open the door and I want to leave now!"
"Everyone's life is in danger now. I can stand by and watch. If I stop you, I'm saving you!"
In the end, under David's persuasion, most people began to build fortifications around the glass wall of the supermarket.
The black lawyer Brent, who least believed that David was his neighbor, looked at the people moving the dog food indifferently, raised his hand and said:
"You actually believe in these gods and ghosts. They are all lies or illusions...
This clerk must have been injured accidentally!
No one should be fooled! No one who thinks would--! ! "
"Keep thinking! You idiot who only causes trouble!" MJ was too lazy to continue arguing with Brent.
As a great citizen of New York, she knows that there are many outrageous things in this world.
"Everything is God's will. There will be no courts or appeals in hell. There is nothing to argue here." The witch Carmody spoke to lawyer Brent.
She looked around at the people who were stacking dog food against the glass wall of the supermarket and doing defense work and said:
"No one can stop God's footsteps, even if you use all the dog food in the world and pile them up high, it won't work! Their future is just stinky dog shit!!"
Glancing at Carmody, Brent called out to the people in the supermarket:
"Is there anyone willing to use more rational thinking to solve this disaster and leave here?
You are welcome to come to my place, and those who wish to pile up dog food, please do as you please..."
Several people in the supermarket looked at each other, walked towards the black lawyer Brent, and followed Brent to the back of the supermarket to discuss.
And the witch Carmody continued to say to the people around her:
"The blindest are not the blind but the people with both eyes. They are unwilling to see. Open your eyes now.
Abandoning all the rules of reality, God has written everything in the book, and all this has been foreshadowed. "
As she spoke, she flipped through the Bible in her hand and read aloud:
"Revelation 15, 'The temple was filled with thick smoke' 'from the glory of God' 'and his power' 'so no one could enter the temple' 'until the seven plagues of the seven angels' 'were completed ..."
"What on earth are you talking about?" an old religious man frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"We should prepare... to meet the God we believe in..." Carmody's tone was filled with self-touching tears.
"Go see your stinking piece of shit!" MJ couldn't stand it anymore and cursed:
"The brain capacity of a retard is greater than yours. God is blessed to have a believer like you. Even if you meet God, he will smile happily because of your thinking and will personally use a fork to eat dog shit for you!"
"Hey--" A burly man who was a follower of Carmody became angry and wanted to attack MJ but was stopped by Carmody.
In the United States, the number of people who believe in God has dropped significantly, leaving only a pitiful 80 percent...
MJ's words angered the public, because although Carmody's words were a bit outrageous, many people who believed in God were still willing to believe it and wanted to hear more about what Carmody said about God's reproach.
"The end of the world is not in the fire, nor in the tide, but in the fog..." Carmody opened his hands, pointed at the fog outside the window and continued to explain to everyone:
"I'm saving all of your souls, a monster attacked this supermarket boy...
If you think there are no monsters in the fog, then get out! Get out now! What are you still hiding here for?
You are here because you know and you believe in your heart that this is true!
Demons really exist! Monsters really exist! The existence of God is even more indisputable!
All the disasters happened because you were bewitched by the devil! You no longer believed in God!
Some people even think that this world is godless!
Poor and stupid! What an ignorant idea!
Have you eaten all those miracles and superheroes sent by God to save us?
There is only one God! He is the God of the Jews! He is a harsh and vengeful God! We have blasphemed Him for too long...
Now another demon has appeared and polluted his faith, so today he wants us to pay for our blood with blood!!
Now..." Carmody opened his arms and said to everyone:
"It's time to take a stand on your choice—
Read the Bible more, it preaches punishment and redemption, we should make blood sacrifices——
Blood sacrifice for God—"
bang——
A bullet pierced Carmody's thigh. She was still preaching with the Bible held high in her hand and had no time to react. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Looking down at his injured leg, Carmody showed an expression of disbelief.
Many people around exclaimed, and even David followed his gaze, staring at Harry's boldness with a look of shock.
Holding the lady's pistol, Harry stepped forward with a determined look in his eyes, pointed the muzzle of the gun at Carmody's head and said:
"Put your hands over your head and get out of the way, idiot! If you don't want to be fed shit, shut your disgusting mouth and sit in the corner!
From now on...I have the final say here!!”
The pain made Carmody close his mouth and curse Harry with his eyes and God.
"Damn it! You dare to shoot..." The black lawyer Brent walked forward and looked at Harry in disbelief. In his opinion, everything now was a joke.
He said in great anger:
"Asshole! Put down your gun, or I'll put you in jail when this damn fog clears!"
"Ha..." Harry sneered and spread his hands, then turned the gun towards Brent and said:
"Who cares~
Just like you said ~ the white fog will dissipate ~ I will say it again! From now until the fog dissipates, here - I have the final say! "
He raised his hand and fired another shot at the ceiling above his head. Harry looked at the black man Brent and said:
"Don't think I don't dare to shoot. Even if everything is fake, so what? If you don't want to die, listen to me now!
Prison? Law?
Let’s survive first!
Although it's not much, my family still has some surplus capital~ No one can send me to jail, and you~ are even less likely to-"
