Chapter 36: Everyone is human, how much difference can there be?
David in panic pushed open the double-opening door of the storage room, and collided with Oli and Jim, who were about to enter the storage room to check the generator condition.
"Hey! David slow down, what are you doing?"
"What happened?"
After returning to the supermarket lights, David was still feeling a little relieved. He licked his chapped lips, stabilized his mind, looked at the people and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"
The two doors in the storage room have good sound insulation, so no one heard the sound of the rolling shutter door being photographed.
"Generator? We're going to go in and check it out." Ollie pointed to the storage room and guessed.
"No, no!" David reached out to stop Oli, hesitated for a moment, and said nervously: "I turned off the generator, the battery was full, I didn't say that, the roller shutter door! There is something outside! There is something pressing that...door!"
As an old American with an anti-intellectual tradition, Jim, an old electrician, kicked a box of laundry detergent on the ground with some inattention, shook his head and sighed: "What's the sound? Is it a monster?"
At this time, Norman, the supermarket helper, also walked over with the flashlight they wanted, looking at them with confusion, "Aren't you going in and checking the generator?"
"David said there was a strange sound inside." Another mechanic shrugged.
Ollie showed a thoughtful expression, raised her thumb, pointed in a certain direction, and suggested: "Why don't we look for Mr. Li Wei to come and take a look?"
Li Wei was indeed the only person they knew to pass through the white mist, but the few people here actually didn't believe in that strange Asian person.
Even if they saw the shadow of that monster, it might be a lie!
Although David felt that there was really a monster in the fog, he didn't want to seek the help of that person.
The old electrician Jim was more straightforward, waved his hand and said, "Don't go so far. You must be scared. Maybe this is a bad joke. Let's check it out!"
After he finished speaking, he took the flashlight from Norman's hand, and walked around David into the storage room.
The others hesitated for a moment, and saw that Jim had pushed open the door, and also took the flashlight and walked into the storage room.
David glanced in a certain direction, then turned around and walked towards the storage room.
He felt that everyone was human, and if they really encountered monsters, what's the difference?
...
Beside the separated stove, Li Wei was cooking curry, surrounded by a lot of people waiting to eat. They basically had no worries. They were like eating alone in the town and the whole family was not hungry.
Even if there are monsters outside, they can eat and drink heartlessly. If no one starts, they may be as worried about their safety as others.
But Li Wei took the lead and they started drinking and playing. If they weren't afraid of disturbing others, they might have made the atmosphere more lively.
"Well~ the curry is ready, leave me one, I'll bring one to the old man first." Seeing the curry in the pot cooked, Li Wei put a piece of bread on a plate, added a spoonful of curry with potatoes and fresh carrots, and got up to deliver it to the white-haired old lady.
He brought Curry to the aisle six, handed the Curry to Grandma Ripura leaning against the shelves, and received the latter's thanks.
Li Wei nodded, looked at Billy, who was drowsy in Turkey's arms, and did not deliberately make any jokes. He turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, his strong hearing made him vaguely hear some noise coming from the storage room.
With a gusting and screaming from some people, he asked Ripura, who was eating curry in a low voice, "Is there anyone in the storage room?"
"Oh!" Ripra swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled, "It's David, he's going to get Billy's blanket."
Li Wei said oh, thanked her and left, and met Amanda who had returned from finding the medicine.
Amanda put the medicine in her hand on the ground and sat down slowly, her eyes fixed on Li Wei's back. "I always feel that Asian man is a little strange... like the characters in the movie."
"It's very mysterious, right?" The Turkish, who was comforting Billy, smiled and said a more appropriate description.
Amanda turned around and handed the medicine to Turkey, nodding in agreement, "It really looks like it."
"Okay, ladies, it's not good to talk about others behind the scenes. Should I try the curry?" Grandma Ripra raised the plate and smiled and signaled.
...
In the quiet and peaceful supermarket, no one could have thought that a thrilling tug-of-war was taking place in the storage room.
The roller shutter door in the storage room rose about half a meter, and several thick and terrifying tentacles penetrated into the white mist and walked through the bottom of the roller shutter door, drilled into the storage room, making a mess inside.
What's even more fatal is that one of the tentacles entangled the supermarket helper Norman, and a heart-wrenching scream came from his mouth, because his chest was torn to pieces by the spikes on the inside of the tentacle, and the wound was hideous and terrifying!
David and Ollie were grabbing Norman's arms and tentacles and strikingly, not daring to let the tentacles drag Norman out, which means death.
Jim and his apprentice, who were originally very decisive, were frightened to death, their bodies stiffened, their mouths opened and closed, leaning against one side and didn't know what they should do, and did not respond to David's shout to help.
"Ahhhh! Save me! Save me quickly! Ah! I don't want to die!" Norman's screams and calls for help echoed in the supermarket storage room, and several other huge tentacles that were raging in the room randomly overturned the shelf.
When Li Wei entered the storage room, he saw such a scene.
Immediately took a few steps forward, smashed the glass of the fire box hanging on the wall, and took out the fire axe with one hand. It was relaxed like I was holding a toy made of plastic.
David and Ollie were still fighting with their tentacles. When they heard the crisp sound of glass breaking, they thought it was Jim and the others who finally reacted and came to help.
But unexpectedly, what they saw was not Jim and the others, but Levi.
He walked to the side of the three people who were quite embarrassed with the fire axe. Li Wei grabbed the huge tentacle with his left hand and pulled it in!
Originally, the two of them had to work hard to barely delay the speed of their tentacles retracting. Under Li Wei's pull, they felt a lighter in their hands and their bodies fell down due to excessive force.
David and Ollie got up a little dull and looked at Levi holding the fire axe with one hand.
I saw a heavy fire axe falling down, and the sound of metal hitting the ground sounded, and the thick tentacles were cut off half by this.
The tentacles that caught Norman were also relieved because of the pain. The remaining tentacles that were raging in the storage room also quickly retracted like a fire, causing the items and shelves in the storage room to fall down again.
As David was gaze with horror, Levi once again lifted the fire axe embedded in the concrete floor with one hand, pressed the shiny black leather shoes on the big tentacle that he wanted to retract, and waved his right hand again...
Bang!
Another muffled sound, and half of the remaining flesh and blood were cut off.
Chapter completed!
