Chapter 164 The atmosphere becomes relaxed

Except for whispers and the occasional sound of poisonous scorpions and flying insects hitting the glass wall, the supermarket seemed extremely quiet.

But at this moment, a voice came out.

"Locusts emerged from the smoke, and the Lord gave them the power of scorpions..." Mrs. Carmody took out a scented candle at some point, holding it in her hand and chanting.

"Shut up!" Locke walked over, tore off a piece of tape, sealed her mouth, and then said in a low voice: "If I hear you talking nonsense again, I will use my baby on your Make a hole in your head!”

Feeling the cold touch of the pistol silencer on her temple, Mrs. Carmody suddenly did not dare to make any more moves.

Seeing that she finally calmed down, Locke returned to his original position and sat down. This woman was like a toad. Although she couldn't bite, it always made Locke feel sick!

"Great, you finally shut her up." Ms. Amanda whispered in Locke's ear.

Locke shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the woman who was about to cling to him. He knew that the other woman was instinctively seeking a sense of security.

Ms. Amanda was not the first to do this. Several women had tried to strike up a conversation before, but they were all rejected by Locke. This woman's appearance was not bad, and she could achieve a passing aesthetic standard even if she dressed up carefully.

Locke didn't push her away. Although he didn't plan to do anything, it was still okay to pass the time.

"Are our missions often in danger?" Sensing that Locke did not refuse, Ms. Amanda seemed to be inspired and ignored Locke's extended hand, as if she was ready to lean on him.

"Bang!" At this moment, there was a violent impact on the glass wall, which scared everyone's heart.

Locke knew that these were skeleton birds, and most of them regarded those poisonous scorpions and flying insects as food. Fortunately, they seemed to have hit the glass wall by mistake, and there was no sound again after this time.

Through magic induction, Locke could sense the situation outside. The skeleton bird just dived directly from the air, took the poisonous scorpion flying insect into its mouth, and then hit the glass wall.

The beak of this skeleton bird was quite hard. After the collision, it fell to the ground. It shook a little and stood up again. Its wings shook a few times and flew away again.

It seems that years of adapting to the environment have allowed these skeleton birds to evolve the strength to be able to hit hard objects without being injured.

But this time, cracks have been left on the strengthened glass wall.

In the plot, these guys crashed through the glass wall on the first night, causing a lot of chaos.

Now it seems that asking people to extinguish the candles and reduce the sound still has the effect. At least it does not attract the attention of those poisonous scorpions and flying insects on a large scale, which greatly reduces the chance of the skeleton bird crashing into the glass wall.

The long night finally passed. Thanks to Locke's efforts, the glass wall of the supermarket was not broken on the first night, but it was still unable to contact the outside world. It seemed that the thick fog had the ability to block signals.

The outside of the supermarket seemed quieter during the day. Locke arranged for Ollie and David to direct people to tidy up the warehouse at the back and seal any possible gaps as the second line of defense.

He himself was holding an ancient thread-bound book from the Eastern Kingdom and reading it carefully.

This is a book about the meridians of the human body, which Locke is studying.

Although modern anatomy has not discovered the existence of the so-called acupuncture points and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, its effects are real. Otherwise, where would acupuncture treatment come from?

Even the internal forces in martial arts novels are imagined based on meridians and acupuncture points. Since this world has extraordinary powers such as magic, something must be researched through these.

Locke's idea is to study the meridians and acupuncture points, stimulate and strengthen them with magic power, and see what effect there will be.

In fact, he secretly made some attempts himself, spending money to find some homeless people, and secretly used them to conduct experiments, and some results have been achieved.

Locke has discovered a complete circulation route of meridians and acupuncture points. If it is continuously circulated with magic power, it will have a strengthening effect on the human body.

The efficiency of doing this is stronger than Locke's usual meditation, where the magic power flows through the body and the effect of passively strengthening the body is stronger.

So now when Locke meditates, in addition to condensing magic power in the sea of ​​consciousness, he also consciously controls the circulation of magic power through the meridians and acupuncture points in the body.

Because of this harvest, Locke is also considering when to go to Dongguo to see if he can collect more useful things.

After everyone had almost rested after a night's sleep, Locke took someone to check the glass wall and found that there were cracks in several places, and he began to worry about the night.

After thinking about it, he simply took people to the other side of the glass wall and used the few remaining wooden boards and glue tape to simply reinforce the positions of the cracked glass.

During this period, he also killed fourteen or five two-headed dog monsters and a giant centipede lying on the ground that was as tall as a person and more than ten meters long. These were monsters that Locke had never seen in the movie.

From the appearance of the giant mantis and giant centipede, Locke knew that the danger here was higher than in the movie, but it did not pose a threat to him.

In other words, except for the super-large monster that looms in the film, other ordinary monsters do not pose a high threat to Locke.

No wonder the basic reward is only 800 potential points, which is not much different from killing the Kodis family.

On the second night, except for the sounds caused by venomous scorpions, flying insects and skeleton birds that appeared on time, the supermarket was quiet. Everyone got used to these sounds and gradually relaxed.

But after daybreak, Locke found that the reinforced wooden board outside was broken in many places, and it seemed that the glass wall would not be easy, which made him know that the last night would not be too good.

The wooden boards in the supermarket had been used up. Thinking of this, Locke returned to the supermarket and rearranged the evening arrangements so that women, the elderly and children could rest in the warehouse at the back at night, while other capable people stayed in the supermarket outside.

After all, there are more than 100 to 200 people in the supermarket, and the warehouse behind cannot accommodate that many people.

"Li, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, we really don't know how to deal with those big guys. Would you like some beer?" David asked Locke with a smile.

There is naturally no shortage of food in the supermarket, at least enough for the people here for a month or two.

After spending two days safely, especially after seeing Locke destroying a giant mantis and then easily killing a giant centipede, everyone's mood gradually improved, thinking that federal rescue would arrive in two or three days.

Moreover, the black lawyer Norton also said that when the crisis is resolved, he can file a lawsuit with the federal government on behalf of the town, which will definitely allow everyone to receive an astronomical amount of compensation, which will make everyone's morale reach a high level. point.

If the crisis hadn't been resolved, these people might have been planning to hold a party to celebrate.

Even David couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of being able to live on the compensation in a few days, and his wife, who was probably dead at home, couldn't hold back this excitement either.

This may seem very inhumane, but it is actually in line with the thoughts of most Americans who advocate freedom. The deceased is gone, so it is more important to cherish the life in front of you.

"You're right, Lee, be happy and don't be so serious all the time." The supermarket manager Ollie said and handed a bottle of beer to Locke.

He is just a supermarket manager, not the boss, so he naturally doesn't care about the supermarket owner's losses, not to mention the fact that the supermarket owner may be alive or not.

"I'm just worried that something will go wrong tonight." Locke looked at the glass wall and said, "Just in case, I got a few cars outside the supermarket. If something goes wrong, I can try to drive away."

"No, you've just been an FBI agent for a long time and like to think wildly." David patted Locke on the shoulder.

"I hope so too." Locke said this, but his instinct told him that the following night and the last morning would definitely not be easy.
