"She …."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with those stupid things."
Dusk interrupted the old man's answer.
"By the way, when I came back, I saw half a corpse at the entrance of the supermarket. What's going on?"
"After you left, some people wanted to go out and get help. They tied ropes and walked into the fog, then …."
"I see."
Dusk shrugged and did not say anything else. They wouldn't die if they didn't court death. She had made it very clear, but there were still people who wanted to court death. That was their own business. Anyway, the lives of these people had nothing to do with her, right? They could do whatever they wanted.
"Little girl, can you tell us what's going on?"
By now, most of the people had come to Dusk's side and were looking at her uneasily. Although they didn't know where Yu came from, they could tell that she wasn't an ordinary person after seeing how she killed those insects and even used an unimaginable method to summon an ice wall to block the gap.
The people in the supermarket were all confused. They weren't sure what had happened, but everything they had encountered and heard before had broken their worldview and cognition. Obviously, this was not a factory explosion, and it had nothing to do with any ordinary natural phenomenon. They were even more unwilling to believe the crazy woman's claim that God was punishing humans, so their only choice was to listen to the mysterious girl's explanation.
"Miasma. You can think of it as a kind of fog. As you can see, it's not very poisonous. However, the monsters living in the miasma are the biggest threat. "
"But why? Why did this happen all of a sudden? "
"I'm not sure about that."
Dusk shook her head.
"According to you Americans, this kind of thing should be a product of living in another world. Since this kind of thing has never happened here before, it means that this thing should have been sealed. As for why it appeared …. maybe someone somehow opened up the sealed passage connecting the other side and this side? I don't know about that. After all, who knows what's going on here. "
"That's right, the base!!"
Hearing this, several of the town residents seemed to have thought of something. They grabbed the collar of a soldier in uniform next to them.
"Was it you! Was it you?! I've long heard that your base is researching something strange! It must be you! You caused all of this! "
"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything!!"
Facing the indignation of the residents, a few young soldiers hurriedly shook their heads and retreated.
"We just arrived here. We don't know what the base is doing! Trust us! "
"Alright, there's no point in saying all this now!"
A bespectacled man hurriedly stepped forward and pulled them apart.
"What we need to do now is to survive! So, miss, what should we do? "
"Very simple, wait for rescue."
In response to the bespectacled man's question, he stretched himself and leaned against the wall.
"These monsters are quite troublesome for unarmed ordinary people, but they're not much of a problem for the army. As long as the humans got serious, their current weapons would be enough to tear them to pieces. After all, these fellows could only live in the mist, and they weren't invulnerable and immortal monsters. Come to think of it, many years ago, the ancestors of this land were able to chase these monsters back into the darkness and seal them. There was no reason that the human army with rocket launchers could not do the same. So ….. "
At this point, Dusk yawned again.
"All we need to do is wait for rescue."
Hearing Dusk's words, the crowd relaxed a little. Dusk was not lying. In fact, this was the reason why the monsters and monsters around the world basically lived their lives cautiously. Indeed, humans nowadays were not as superstitious as they used to be, and there were fewer people who could use mysterious powers. But conversely, the power of destruction that humans themselves mastered was getting stronger and stronger. If it was a few hundred years ago, perhaps when facing some monsters, humans could only force them into a deep sleep and seal them.
But now, a single RPG could blow you up so badly that even your mother wouldn't be able to recognize you ….
Unlike humans, monsters did not have the ability to systematically produce and develop. It could be said that even if the monsters had survived until now, they had not developed much. In fact, many of them had even regressed. Under such circumstances, except for some mentally retarded monsters who could not keep up with the times and were only resurrected after being sealed for hundreds of years, most of the other monsters had already accepted the fact and no longer resisted.
Take the insects from before for example. If they encountered an army, a flamethrower would be enough to deal with them. Only these unarmed ordinary people would have such a hard time dealing with them.
By the time the crowd finished dealing with everything, it was already late at night. Most of them were exhausted and had gone to find a place to rest. But there were also some people whispering to each other, whispering something. The crazy woman who preached about divine punishment was also whispering to a few people. From time to time, some of them would turn their heads to look at Dusk and Tamamo-no-Mae before quickly withdrawing their gazes.
After all, the lives and deaths of these people had nothing to do with her. If they wanted to live, they had to listen to her. But if they wanted to die, she would not stop them.
On the other side, a group of people were huddled between the shelves, whispering to each other.
"What should we do? Can we only stay here? "
A man carrying a child said worriedly in a low voice, while the blonde woman beside him seemed to be very hesitant.
"But where can we go? You heard what the girl said. With the strength of our army, it won't be difficult to defeat these monsters …. "
"Who can say for sure?"
But the man did not seem to agree with the woman's words.
"You saw how fast the fog came. It's been almost a day. No one knows how many places the fog has covered. What if they have already entered New York? Besides, although there's still food here, who knows how long it can last? The electricity has been cut off, and no one knows when the water will stop. When that time comes …. "
"I think what the girl said is right."
At this time, a white-haired old man on the other side also spoke up.
"We should stay here and wait for rescue. That's the best."
"But who knows if they will come to rescue us? If it was really like what those people said, and it was because of the military base here that caused this disaster, then would they directly destroy this place? To cover up the evidence? "
"This …."
Facing the man's rebuttal, the old woman was speechless for a while. Another old man beside her nodded.
"So what do you think?"
"I think we should leave here as soon as possible."
The man made up his mind again.
"My car is not far away. We should be able to drive away immediately after dawn when the monsters have not attacked. Maybe we can leave this fog …. In any case, I don't think it's a good idea to stay here any longer."
She did not care about what the people in the supermarket thought. The reason why she returned to the supermarket was because there were snacks for Tamamo no Mai — — Just like now, the little blonde loli was lying on her knees, munching on potato chips with a satisfied look. That was good enough.
At that moment, she felt someone approaching. She looked up and saw a few men carrying travel bags in front of her.
"Little girl, we have something to trouble you with …."
"It's like this. My child … he has a fever …. We want to find some medicine. The pharmacy is next door, we …."
"You want me to go with you?"
"…."
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Mischievous yawned.
"It's late at night. I want to have a good sleep …. Forget it, for the sake of the child …."
As she said that, she put Tamamo no Mae aside and let her continue munching on potato chips. Then, she stood up.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Hearing Mischievous's answer, the men breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when they were looking for Mischievous, they were a little uneasy. After all, Mischievous was too mysterious. Compared to Akane, Mischievous's power was even more terrifying. Just look at the thick ice wall outside.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Just as the group of people walked to the entrance of the supermarket, they saw the crazy woman who was shouting just now walk over nervously and stare at them. Her voice woke up some of the men who were sleeping soundly. They raised their heads anxiously and looked at the scene in front of them.
The crazy woman just stared at the man who was talking to Mischievous.
"Are you in such a hurry to turn your child into an orphan? You'll lead the demons of hell here and kill all of us! "
"Listen up, we're just going to the pharmacy to get some medicine and see if there are any survivors there. We'll be back soon."
The man looked at the people around him and explained. But the crazy woman obviously didn't think so.
"Oh no, young man, you'll die there. As soon as you walk out of this door, you'll be torn to pieces by the demons of hell. "
"You speak as if you've experienced it before."
Mischievous yawned as she walked out.
"Since you're so sure, why don't you go out first and give us a demonstration?"
"Ah, the Devil's Daughter!"
Seeing Mischievous' appearance, the crazy woman pointed at her and screamed.
"The Devil's Daughter! She's the culprit of everything! "
At this moment, the crazy woman screamed in a frenzy, waking up even more people. Looking at the crowd surrounding her, the crazy woman waved her hands with all her might.
"Everyone, it's her, it's her! She's the one who brought this disaster! You all know that they came here, and then the Mist appeared!! It's her!! "
"Yawn …."
Facing the crazy woman's accusation, Mischievous yawned in boredom.
"Oh, then what do you intend to do to me?"
"It's simple, we want to destroy you! By God's will!! Destroy evil!! Kill her! As long as we kill her! Everything will be settled! "
Hearing the crazy woman's words, the others gathered around. Their gazes wandered between the crazy woman and Mischievous. The crazy woman stared at them and spread out her hands.
"You all saw it, this girl, she has power that doesn't belong to humans! That's the power of the Devil! She's the Devil's Advocate! "
Hearing this, the people seemed to be in an uproar. They gathered behind the crazy woman and stared at Mischievous. The crazy woman turned around and stared at Mischievous proudly.
"So now, what do you have to say? Witch? "
"I'm really curious."
Looking at the crazy woman, Mischievous sighed helplessly.
"Since you know my power, why do you still dare to provoke me? Could it be that you're tired of living? "
"I have God's protection, witch!!"
The crazy woman stretched out her hand and pointed at Mischievous as she yelled.
"Your evil magic doesn't work on me!"
"Oh, then we can test it out and we'll know."
Having said that, Mischievous raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. In the next moment, frost suddenly erupted and froze the surrounding ground. Then, hundreds of fully-armed Scourge Army soldiers broke through the ice and surrounded the people. Seeing this, the people immediately screamed and retreated, collapsing to the ground in fear.
Mischievous made a gesture.
"Take this crazy woman out and get rid of her."
Following her order, two Scourge Undead quickly strode forward. Seeing them approaching, the crazy woman raised the Bible in her hand in fear.
"Don't come near! In the name of God! I command you to destroy immediately! Don't come near me! Destroy! Demon!! "
However, the Scourge Undead didn't care about this at all. They walked forward and grabbed the crazy woman. Then, they turned around and brought her out of the supermarket into the thick fog. Following that, there was a shrill scream, and soon, everything returned to silence.
"How boring. I'm sorry, but we don't believe in your nonsense."
Mischievous clapped her hands and scanned the people around her. Then, she gave an order to the other Undead.
"Guard this place and don't let anyone cause trouble. If anyone dares to cause trouble, arrest them immediately."
After giving the order, Mischievous turned around and looked at the man and the others who were stunned.
"Alright, aren't you going to get the medicine?"
