I have a set of monster experience cards

Chapter 390 Seeking Death

After hearing David's question, many people around him turned their attention to You Huan, who had always had a low sense of presence.

"..."

You Huan thought carefully about the current situation and felt that his plan to reduce his presence was about to come to nothing.

Go to the unloading area to check the situation. Why would David invite him when there may be danger? It's so unreasonable.

But he doesn't care. It doesn't make a big difference to him whether he lowers his presence or acts in a high-profile manner.

At this time, the third task appears on the panel:

[Task: David hopes that you can go to the unloading area with them to check the movement, but at the same time, there are two groups of people operating in the supermarket. 】

[Option 1: Follow David to the unloading area to check the situation. [Corresponding route: Destiny]]

[Option 2: Listen to Ms. Carmody’s teachings. [Corresponding route: Rebellion]]

[Option 3: Listen to what David’s neighbors are discussing. [Corresponding route: Seeking knowledge]]

He chose the route of seeking knowledge the previous two times. According to common sense, he should choose the same way this time.

But he stared at the panel and chose option one, the destiny route, without thinking for too long.

The remaining options fade away.

So he raised his head and said to David: "Okay, let's go."

When everyone saw that he agreed, they showed incredible expressions, and then felt a little admiration. They felt that although he had difficulty moving, he was very courageous.

At this time, Ollie also called Jim, the mechanic in the store, and a young man working part-time, among others.

On the way to the unloading area, David realized that what he had just done was inappropriate.

He frowned in annoyance.

He didn't know why he had just asked a gentleman in a wheelchair like a ghost.

But maybe it was some kind of instinct...a biological instinct.

Just as he was inexplicably horrified when he first saw this "Mr. You", there was always an indescribable uneasiness and panic lingering in his heart.

The more this vague instinct of fear came to his attention, the more subconsciously he wanted to know the cause of it.

Others obviously didn't quite understand his idea.

David then explained: "This is Mr. You who has just moved to Bridgeton. He is a doctor. He may have some deeper insights into the black figures in the fog outside. If anyone is injured, he can also deal with it in time." .”

This argument barely convinced everyone. After all, everyone was in an extremely nervous mood and couldn't care less.

Only Jim, the mechanic, said disapprovingly: "If he goes to the unloading area with us to check the situation, he will only get in the way. David, what are you doing?"

David just laughed and dealt with this man.

As a blue-collar worker, Jim personally doesn't think highly of "decent people" like David.

Seeing this man looking at him with slight disdain, You Huan just ignored him.

After entering the dark unloading area, everyone found that the generator was not functioning properly, probably because the outdoor pipe was blocked.

To get the generator working again, they had to open the rolling shutter door of the unloading area and go outside for repairs.

But at this step, everyone hesitated.

The several earthquakes just now and the black shadows flashing outside made them realize that even if there were no so-called monsters in the fog, there must be some kind of danger.

After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Jim suddenly laughed and said: "If you are too timid and don't want to go out, let me go!"

Seemingly inspired by his words, a young employee in the supermarket also volunteered: "Open the rolling shutter door, I'll be the first to go out and take a look!"

"Wait, don't open the door!" David was startled and quickly tried to dissuade him, but it was too late.

Jim laughed at him for being a coward while raising the rolling shutter door!

"Click, click, click-"

The silver-gray rolling shutter door began to rise slowly, as if breaking the barrier with the outside world, and wisps of white mist poured in from under the door in an instant.

But before they got very far, it seemed as if they encountered some invisible obstacle, and the mist retreated slightly.

You Huan sat in the corner, silently looking at the mist.

After the rolling shutter door was raised halfway, everyone stopped it.

The young man squatted down and looked at the outside world for a while through the half-open door.

Then he turned around and showed a confident smile: "It's not nothing -"

The words stopped abruptly.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, a thick tentacle suddenly broke through the fog and wrapped around the young man's ankle!

"what--!"

With a shrill scream, he was immediately dragged to the ground. The tentacles in the mist quickly pulled the prey out the door.

"Guji!" However, before he could pull it out very far, an umbrella fell from the sky, piercing the tentacles and nailing them to the ground!

At this time, David also reacted and stepped forward to grab the young man who fell to the ground.

Mechanic Jim and others were so frightened that they clung to the wall behind them, their bodies stiff, and they had no idea of ​​rescuing their companions.

On the ground, the tentacle pierced by the umbrella was still twisting violently, trying to take away the prey it had caught.

David looked up along the umbrella while trying to pull his companion in his direction.

The young doctor was sitting in a wheelchair, maintaining a seemingly relaxed posture, holding the handle of the umbrella with both hands like a sword, and nailing the umbrella to the tentacles.

The shock that rose in David's heart disappeared when he saw more tentacles appearing from outside the door, and he growled: "Come and help! And close the door!"

The clerk Oli was the third to react. His short and fat body jumped forward, and together with David, he grabbed the young clerk who was howling miserably.

Jim and others at the rear finally reacted and began to control the rolling shutter door to lower.

Seeing more and more tentacles protruding into the unloading area, the door lowered with a harsh scraping sound.

The tentacles that were originally entangled with the young man suddenly let go.

"Ah!" The young man screamed in pain again, and a large piece of flesh on his leg was bitten off by the tentacles, dripping with blood.

The tentacle was slightly raised, and the front end of itself was torn in half to break free from under the umbrella!

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the sharp thorns on the edge of its flat body suddenly bounced outward.

On the side facing everyone, there are layers of folds and a round mouth full of beak-like teeth.

Then all the tentacles that came in changed direction.

"Gululu——"

You Huan looked down and found tentacles wrapped around the wheelchair.

You actually chose him, you really have a good sense...

The thought flashed through my mind, and the next moment, everyone in the unloading area couldn't help but scream in shock.

Under David's unbelievable gaze, as the tentacles surged, the young doctor he personally invited was sucked into the mist and disappeared without a trace...

"Shit"

At this time, the rolling shutter door has basically been lowered, and a thick tentacle was stuck on the door, and there was no time to withdraw.

Without thinking, he picked up the ax and struck the struggling tentacle three times!

"Chi!" A weird scream came from the tentacles, and the sticky flesh gradually broke apart under the chop of the axe.

But what David didn't notice was that the tentacle didn't move because of his chopping, and it was even still trying to squeeze into the supermarket.

It's like there's something in the fog outside the door that it can't deal with...

"Gooji!" In the end, the tentacle was cut off by David, unable to fall to the ground.

The rolling shutter door closed completely with a "click" sound.

The tentacles that left the mist melted into a puddle of liquid in a short period of time and disappeared without a trace.

"..."

The young clerk who escaped the injury endured the pain and lay silently on the ground looking at the direction of the rolling shutter door.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Soon, the group came out of the unloading area and returned to the supermarket.

Seeing that not only were some of them injured, but one was missing, someone quickly asked: "What happened?"

David took a deep breath and said: "There is really a monster in the fog, we saw it with our own eyes! It...injured Norm and took away a companion..."

As soon as these words came out, the lawyer neighbor first said: "Do you have any evidence?"

David thought of the tentacles that melted on their own and fell silent.

The lawyer continued: "No monster has ever existed on earth!"

However, at this time, another female voice sounded.

Mrs. Carmody turned to face the crowd and shouted: "This is not a monster! This is God's punishment for us! We have blasphemed for too long!"

Looking at the opinions of various factions in the supermarket, especially the fanatical religious arguments promoted by Mrs. Carmody, and the vaguely shaken eyes of many people.

David knew that the supermarket would soon be in chaos.
