The fog in front of them hit them in the face.
When Hayashi and Tamamo followed the woman out of the supermarket, they were immediately engulfed by the fog. The fog in front of them was so thick that they couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. The visibility was less than five meters. Fortunately, the lady before him was rather familiar with this region. Thus, even under the dense fog, she hurriedly rushed back to her home.
Whether it was good or bad luck, they didn't encounter anything strange along the way, but that didn't mean everything was normal. Because on the road, they saw a mess of cars. These cars were parked there in a mess, covered in cobwebs, and the people inside had died with their eyes wide open and a horrified expression on their faces. No one knew what they saw before they died, but it was obvious that it was definitely not something good.
Although the woman was also afraid, her love for her children overcame her fear. She hurried across the street and came to a house on the other side. She took out the key from her bag with trembling hands, opened the door, and rushed into the house.
"Walter! Victor!! "
While calling her children's names, the woman entered the house. At the same time, Tamamo gently pulled Hayashi's sleeve.
"Madam Hayashi …."
Hayashi turned around and saw Tamamo putting a finger in her mouth. She looked like she was about to drool. Hayashi sighed helplessly.
"Go. Don't cause any trouble. Remember to come back when I call you."
"Okay!"
Hearing Hayashi's reply, Tamamo nodded excitedly. Her petite body jumped up and stopped on the street lamp for a while before disappearing into the thick fog. Only then did Hayashi enter the woman's house and close the door. When she walked into the living room, she saw the woman hugging her two children tightly with tears streaming down her face.
"You're all fine. That's great … .that's great …."
"It seems that your children are all safe."
Hayashi walked into the living room and said. Hearing Hayashi's voice, the woman hurriedly looked up at her.
"Thank you, little girl. Thank you for accompanying me."
"I didn't do anything."
Hayashi waved her hand.
"You know very well that we haven't encountered anything along the way. I'm just following behind you."
"The fact that you're willing to accompany me back is enough in itself …."
After saying that, the woman was stunned for a moment and looked to Suan's side.
"I remember there was a little blonde girl with you …"
"Oh, she's playing nearby. She'll be back soon."
"Nearby?"
"Let's not talk about this."
Of course, she couldn't tell the woman that Tamamo-no-Mae had gone to enjoy a western style feast nearby. But even if he told her, she probably wouldn't understand.
"What do you plan to do next? Should I go back to the supermarket? Or are you waiting for help in the house? "
"This …"
Hearing Grizzly's question, the woman fell into silence. Even though they didn't encounter any monsters along the way, they were still in deep thought. However, the broken streets and dead bodies clearly showed that it was not a safe environment outside. No one knew what was hidden in the thick fog.
In the end, the woman made her decision.
"I plan to stay at home with the children and wait for rescue."
"A wise decision."
He nodded.
"I suggest you block the windows with wooden boards. As long as the fog doesn't come in, you won't be attacked. It's also best to hang a distress sign outside so that the rescuers won't miss it. "
"Thank you, I'll do that …. Little girl, aren't you going to stay?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, but still offered an invitation.
"If you're worried about food, we still have enough at home. It's relatively safer to stay here …."
"I'm going back to the supermarket to check on the situation …."
"Awooo —!!!"
Just as Suan was about to reply, a shrill scream came from not far away, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Hearing the sound, the two children immediately hugged their mother in fear, while Suan rolled her eyes helplessly …. She had just told Tamamo-no-Mae not to make too much noise.
"Well then, I'll be leaving first."
Suan nodded to the woman and walked out of the house without waiting for her to say anything. When the woman hurried to the door, Suan's figure had already disappeared into the fog.
After leaving the woman's house, Suan quickly arrived at the place where the strange sound came from. Over there, Tamamo-no-Mae's small body was lying on the body of a huge monster, tearing at its flesh. The monster looked like a five-meter-tall elephant from the Lord of the Rings world. It had six legs and a strange head. Although Suan didn't know how powerful it was when it was alive, at least now it was only useful as food for Tamamo-no-Mae.
"Your Excellency Suan!"
Seeing his arrival, Tamamo-no-Mae raised her head and greeted him obediently.
"Yo, how is it? Yu? Is it delicious? "
"Not delicious."
Tamamo-no-Mae pouted in dissatisfaction.
"It feels greasy …. Not delicious at all."
"That's how American food is. Just bear with it."
Suan rubbed Tamamo-no-Mae's head. Although British food was disgusting, American food was no worse. It was cheap, large, and filling, but it had nothing to do with health or delicacies. Otherwise, how did the poor people in the United States come to be so well-fed that they were fatter than landlords? Didn't they eat greasy, nutritious, and cheap junk food all day long?
As for things like medium-rare steak and lettuce salad …. Suan didn't even want to talk about it. There was once a book that said Americans didn't know how to eat at all. That in itself was enough to explain the problem.
At least Britain had Stargazy Pie. What else did America have other than burgers, fries, and tacos? The rest were imported goods from all over the world, like General Tso's Chicken, fortune biscuits, and so on …. They were all nondescript, neither Chinese nor Western.
Although Tamamo-no-Mae didn't like the taste, at least the monster gave her a full meal, which more or less satisfied her. According to Tamamo-no-Mae, she also sensed the aura of some monsters in other places, but those monsters gave her a bad taste, so she didn't bother eating them and killed them all.
"Since we're full, let's go back to the supermarket first. We still have to bring the snacks we bought."
That's right, that was why Suan wanted to go back to the supermarket. They had bought a lot of snacks for the rest of their journey. They couldn't just give up because of this monster. Who knew if there was a second supermarket nearby that sold snacks?
After that, Bi brought Tamamo-no-Mae back to the supermarket. The sky was already dark, and when the two of them reached the supermarket, they saw a large group of bugs surrounding the supermarket, trying their best to smash their way through the glass. The refugees in the supermarket were still foolishly holding flashlights and shining them on the insects outside.
"What the hell are those guys doing?"
Seeing this scene, Suan was speechless. Even if you don't know the characteristics of the monsters, you should at least know that insects have phototaxis, right? Why are you still holding flashlights here? Are you afraid that the insects won't be able to get in?
The knowledge level of Americans was even lower than that of primary school students.
Sure enough, soon, the bugs began to crazily hit the supermarket's glass. How could the broken glass withstand the impact of these giant bugs that were more than a meter long? In the blink of an eye, a few loud "crack" sounds were heard, and the glass was immediately smashed. Then, the bugs swarmed in, and soon, screams were heard from inside.
"A bunch of idiots."
Suan sighed helplessly. She sped up and rushed towards the supermarket. She entered the hole made by the insects and looked up. The whole supermarket was in chaos. The huge insects were buzzing everywhere, attacking people. Several men among the refugees were desperately driving away the insects with mops and wooden sticks, while the others were running away with their heads in their hands ….
"Everyone, get down on the ground!"
Suan no longer hesitated. She roared, drew out Frostmourne, and swung it forward. Soon, a whistling cold wind erupted and swept across the entire supermarket. The humming insects were instantly frozen into ice cubes and fell to the ground.
Bang!!
While everyone was still in shock, a bat-like pitch-black monster that was taller than a person rushed in with its teeth bared. It spread its wings and pounced on Suan. Suan swung her sword without looking back and instantly cut off the monster's head. Then, she stabbed Frostmourne into the ground with a backhand. In the blink of an eye, a thick ice wall rose from the ground with a loud bang, forming a barrier to block the monsters' attacks.
Only then did the people who were attacked stand up in shock. They looked around blankly, as if they could not believe what had just happened.
"God! God, save her! "
At this time, a young man in a military uniform suddenly pounced on a woman who was lying on the ground. The woman seemed to have been stung by a strange insect. At this moment, she was writhing on the ground desperately, constantly struggling, and let out a painful wail. The few of them surrounded her and looked at this scene helplessly, not knowing what to do.
"Go get the medicine!"
"What medicine? What medicine should I get? "
"Let me take a look."
While everyone was in a mess, Suan walked over and looked at the woman struggling in pain. She raised her eyebrows and snapped her fingers. Soon, a light appeared and shone on the woman's swollen neck. Under the light, the swelling on the woman's neck quickly dissipated, and her painful breathing became much calmer.
"It's done."
Suan clapped her hands and looked at the man in uniform beside her.
"Let her rest for a while. She'll be fine."
"Thank you, thank you …."
Seeing that the woman was safe and sound, the man in uniform hurriedly thanked her. Suan waved her hand and turned to leave. At this moment, the old black man from before came to her.
"Thank you, little girl. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me."
At this point, the black man looked behind her.
"That lady, she …."
"Oh, she went home safely. She's now staying at home with her two children, waiting for rescue. I advise you to stay here and wait. Don't run around."
"So, what should we do next?"
At this moment, some other people also gathered over, looking at Pi uneasily.
"It's simple."
Suan yawned.
"Eat something, sleep here, and wait for rescue …. That's simple. Those monsters won't invade places without fog. If your families stay at home and don't run around, there shouldn't be a problem."
"No!"
But at that moment, a woman suddenly screamed.
"No one will come to save us! This is God's punishment! We will all die! No exceptions! "
While saying that, she raised the book in her hand high.
"Everyone, everyone, this is God's will!"
Hearing the woman's angry roar, everyone was at a loss and panicked. Suan glanced at her.
"What the hell is this crazy woman?"
Then, she asked indifferently.
