Umbrella Corporation - Chapter 338
c340 Monster in the Mist
The white-haired old man saw so many people standing behind the glass door of the supermarket, changed direction and ran towards the supermarket. When he approached the supermarket, he raised his hands and shouted: “There is something in the fog! That thing dragged John Lee away! Something in the fog dragged Lee away!”
When passing by John Wick, the old man grabbed his shoulder and wanted to pull him into the supermarket, “Go into the supermarket quickly, there is something in the fog!”
“Thank you, sir. →”
John Wick gently broke free from the old man’s hand holding his shoulder. Of course, he knew there was something in the fog, but at least he had to wait until he brought his equipment before going in.
The frightened old man just kindly reminded him. He couldn’t turn John Wick around, and he didn’t have the courage to stay outside the building. He ran directly into the supermarket and yelled again, “Something in the fog dragged John Lee away, I heard his screams!”
John Wick had already walked towards the car parked outside. The people in the supermarket were a little uneasy because of the police car, air raid alarm and the successive events of the old man Dan. Many people leaned against the glass to observe the situation outside.
Thick fog spread from outside the town, and soon enveloped the auto parts store across from the supermarket, and then the parking lot.
“Get out of the way, I want to get back to my car!”
One person couldn’t bear the fear brought by the large fog, fearing that staying would mean waiting for death, so he squeezed through the crowd and ran out.
The old man Dan, who had just shouted, loudly tried to stop him, “No sir! Don’t go out!”
It was too late, so he still walked out. ♦♦ ♦♦
The people inside the glass door were relatively rational. They didn’t completely believe what Dan said, but they didn’t doubt the fact that John Lee was dead.
No one knew what was in the fog.
There were exactly two people outside who could be observed, one was John Wick, and the other was the man who had just walked into the fog.
John Wick arrived at the car first, opened the door and got in, and then was covered by the fog.
The other man was more unlucky. He walked to the door and frantically looked for the key, but until the fog covered him, he couldn’t find the right key to open the door.
Back in the fog, John Wick had an indescribable feeling. After the telekinesis spread, that strange intuition reappeared. He could feel that there were many strange things in the fog looking at him.
This creepy feeling was brought by the ability and also a psychological influence.
He grabbed the combat uniform of the biochemical troops on the co-pilot seat. He was not sure whether there would be toxic gases in the fog. The safest way was to change into chemical protective clothing.
While changing clothes, even he couldn’t help but think of the support team. If all the soldiers sent out were super soldiers, it would be impossible for them to be blocked on the road. Even if they were blocked, there would be news. Now the communications of the two worlds are connected, and there should be notifications if there is a problem with the support.
Thinking of communication, John Wick pressed the car screen and felt a little helpless when he saw the no signal displayed inside, but he did contact Jill.
“Jill, how are you?”
Not long after the voice was sent out, Jill’s reply came, “It can still hold on, how about you? The command center said you have some problems.”
There was nothing unusual in the tone, and it could be heard that it was indeed fine.
John Wick briefly described his situation, and then he heard a man screaming, and immediately went to check, “Something’s wrong.”
“OK.”
After a short communication, John Wick put on a gas mask and picked up the grenade launcher on the co-pilot seat. One of the dogs followed him with a rifle in his mouth, and the other dog stayed in the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, he felt a strange sensation behind him.
Bang!
Everyone in the supermarket first heard a man screaming, and then saw a few dim flames in the fog, and heard explosions one after another.
Everyone was frightened and retreated together, not daring to stand by the glass door.
Just then, there was a sound of a fist hitting a sandbag in the fog, and a figure flew backwards and landed not far from the door of the supermarket.
The force of retreating made the figure roll twice in a mess, and finally stopped half a meter away from the door of the supermarket.
At such a close distance, the people in the supermarket could see clearly that the person who was knocked away by something was a person wearing a black combat uniform and a gas mask.
“It’s a person…”
The vibration caused by the giant stomping on the ground was transmitted through the floor under his feet. The person who fell at the door quickly got up and aimed the weapon he had always held in his hand at the fog.
The grenade rushed out of the gun barrel and hit a huge figure looming in the fog.
“My God…”
After seeing the huge monster that was five or six meters tall, Sally Mohu, a female clerk in the supermarket, widened her eyes in horror, covered her mouth and retreated repeatedly.
She retreated to a man’s chest, and looking back, it was his childhood playmate and ambiguous object, Wayne, who was wearing a military uniform.
After touching the man’s solid chest, Sally relaxed a lot, but Wayne’s attention was not on her now.
“Don’t worry.” Wayne reluctantly comforted Sally, then squeezed through the crowd and stared at the door.
The unique howling of a dog came from the fog, and the shrill sound made the dog-loving Americans feel very distressed.
“No!
!” John Wick trembled all over, got up and rushed into the fog.
The exploding grenade passed through the fog, and the trajectory was slightly deviated. It failed to hit the tall body of the monster, but hit the connection between the claws and the body.
The shrapnel from Pengfa made the monster scream in pain, and a huge three-meter-long clamp fell to the ground.
The semi-mechanical modified dog caught in the clamp was a semi-mechanical life, and its defense was much stronger than that of flesh and blood. John Wick rescued it in time, and the dog was not dead yet. After breaking free from the clamp, it picked up the rifle that fell on the ground again and walked behind John Wick.
After rescuing the dog, John Wick remotely called another dog in the car and asked it to back the car to the supermarket.
After finishing, he picked up the dog, threw away the grenade launcher with empty ammunition, walked to the side of the supermarket, pushed open the door of the supermarket, and threw the dog in first.
The group of people surrounding the door of the supermarket retreated together, and the human eyes and the electronic dog eyes looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
The semi-mechanical modified dogs are all modified from medium-sized dogs or large dogs. After injecting the enhanced serum, the body will swell a circle, and then install a metal shell. When standing up, they are as tall as adults. Everyone who sees them will panic!
Fortunately, the dense rifle gunshots outside the supermarket distracted the fearful attention.
John Wick was still standing outside the supermarket suppressing the monster that was looming in the fog. Under the continuous output of bullets, the five or six-meter-tall monster began to burst out various slurries. After taking a few steps back, the limbs under its body were also broken, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
After the monster died, the supermarket temporarily returned to silence, and John Wick’s car also turned over.
The driver’s seat opened, the driver Gouzi jumped out of the car, kicked the door with his back foot, and walked to John Wick in small steps.
John Wick handed the rifle to Gouzi to hold, he opened the trunk, picked up the two large boxes inside, and brought them into the supermarket.
