Chapter 339: A Town Under the Mist
John Wick thought that support would come quickly, whether he went back to Derry Town and walked through the underground pipes again, or turned back and went into the fog to continue to Silent Hill.
But he didn't expect that until midnight, his town was already shrouded in a storm, and the originally requested reinforcements had not arrived.
The two dogs were already lying on the back seat. This time it was John Wick's turn to stand guard. He sat in the car, drinking coffee, and watching the storm outside the car window.
It takes no more than an hour to take a Quinjet from Los Angeles to California, which is on the other side of the American territory. Whether it is to go through the sewer from Derry Town and take his old route, or to take a plane directly to this town, it should take no more than 3 to 4 hours.
John Wick has spent 6 hours in the car from afternoon to night. Now the town is windy and rainy, and the roar of the hurricane can be heard in the dark night.
The unpredictable and unique natural climate of America is revealed. The car is slightly shaken by the wind. Staying in the car will rarely feel a sense of security, which is a feeling engraved in human genes in ancient times.
John Wick felt the otherworldly tranquility at this moment, lost in thought, and contacted the World Development Department again to inquire about the progress. The reply he received was still that reinforcements were on their way to the town, and he asked them to wait there...

"Knights! There are our companions ahead, and there are believers who need to be saved ahead. Storms and thunder cannot stop our expedition! The breath of the devil is spreading, the soil of sin is being nurtured, and the innocent are crying. Our mission will not be defeated by a mere storm!"
A roar came from the heavy rain. Father Marshall, who was soaked by the rain, stood on a suspended board, and the edge of the suspended board was connected to the warhorse in front with a chain.
Big drops of rain fell on the priest's robe, soaking the white gold-edged robe so much that water could be wrung out. Father Marshall, who was ravaged by the natural disaster, stepped on the suspended board dragged forward by the warhorse, and encouraged the knights to move forward with powerful shouts.
"Oh! For justice!"
The ten knights in heavy armor galloped on their horses, swinging their chains, and sat down on the interstate highway under the heavy rain with white steam coming out of their nostrils.
John Wick's support was the Crusaders formed by Father Marshall himself.
The special life form composed of half entity and half energy, using burning telekinesis to attack the slash, achieved an unusually good effect, which was stronger than the killing effect caused by using only gunpowder weapons or energy weapons alone.
Father Marshall and the knights of the Crusaders have trained almost morbid willpower through self-brainwashing. After testing, their resistance to hallucinations is stronger than that of a few super soldiers.
Willpower is a mysterious thing, which can only be achieved by those who have experienced cruel trials. Father Marshall was able to select ten people from the group to form the Crusaders, not because they could only arm ten people, but because there were very few people who could survive the trials.
The planned Crusaders of 120 knights, 60 nuns and 20 priests took a lot of effort, but Father Marshall only got 10 people.
After these ten people showed their suppression power against alternative life such as demons, the World Development Department allocated a sum of money to Father Marshall. A small amount of equipment was upgraded in the past few days. As pioneers in exploring the dangerous areas that have been confirmed in this world, they are also very happy to carry out such tasks.
In the afternoon, they received the fog and town information reported by John Wick, and the World Development Department sent Father Marshall and his team to try the weight of the huge monsters in the fog.
In order to deal with those huge monsters, each knight and Father Marshall brought powerful weapons, including the remaining explosive spears used to deal with the fallen King Kong, as well as clay bombs and armor-piercing grenade launchers.
A bulging bag was placed in a cloth bag on the horse's back. The horse galloped for thousands of miles, and it really had the resolute momentum of a knight on an expedition.
Now the distance between Father Marshall and the town of Derry was only more than 20 kilometers. It would take half an hour to get there. After a rest, he would go through the sewer and enter, and then repeat the path John Wick had taken to reach the sparsely populated town of Crane Secret Dolls...
In the morning, John Wick woke up from the driver's seat of the car, raised his head, and there was no confusion in his eyes. The two dogs took turns to guard him.
Yesterday's storm seemed to have brought only a major power outage to the town called Crane Secret Dolls. At least after waking up, he did not see the fog covering the outside of the car, but only the lively town.
John Wick opened the car door, got out of the car, stretched his body, and looked around.
The center of the town was obviously more lively in the morning than yesterday afternoon. Residents living around the town had woken up and decided to purchase supplies for the day or the next few days in the morning.
There were already many cars parked in the parking lot in front of the supermarket. John Wick collected the empty coffee cans and threw them into the trash can, preparing to go buy some more things.
Dozens of people squeezed into the small supermarket. The staff had no electricity, so their efficiency became low, and the checkout line was very long.
John Wick was a stranger in the town. Many people who lived here for a long time knew each other in this small town, and the appearance of strangers attracted a lot of attention.
John Wick ignored the scrutiny of those people and entered the beverage area of ββthe supermarket. Looking at the refilled shelves, he swept all the black coffee into the basket with his arms.
"Hey man, can't you leave a few cans for those who come later?" A hippie wearing a turban at the back expressed his dissatisfaction to John Wick when he saw this way of shopping.
Looking back at the hippie, John Wick also felt that it was right, so he put half of the black coffee back on the shelf.
When he was about to get some candy and chocolate, John Wick saw three soldiers in military uniforms walking into the supermarket, one black and two white.
After just one look, John Wick retracted his gaze.
The three were too green, and they didn't look like soldiers who had been trained for a long time. It was more likely that they were three recruits wearing clothes to show off their status.
Suddenly, a military jeep drove in front of the supermarket. A black military policeman wearing a white helmet got off, entered the supermarket, said a few words to the three soldiers, and then walked out again.
None of this had anything to do with him.
After choosing what he needed to buy, John Wick stood in line at the back, looking straight ahead, and standing straight like a pine tree, which made him the first person in the supermarket to see the police cars and fire trucks whizzing past the parking lot.

Woo~Woo~Woo~
The police car and fire truck disappeared behind the building, and then the long sound of the air raid sirens suddenly sounded over the town.
Air raid sirens?
Listening to the air raid sirens in the town, John Wick paused for a moment, put down the shopping basket, and walked solemnly out of the supermarket.
Now everyone's attention was attracted by the previous police car and the current air raid sirens, and they walked to the glass door of the supermarket and looked outside.
As soon as John Wick stepped out of the threshold of the supermarket, he saw an old man stumbling over from the diagonal right.
The gray-haired old man was bleeding from his nose and kept looking behind him, as if he was being chased by something.
