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 muttering.

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

Feeling the cold touch of the pistol silencer on her temple, Mrs. Carmody didn't dare to make any more movements.

Seeing that she finally calmed down, Locke returned to his original position and sat down. This woman is like a toad. Although she can't bite, Locke can't help but feel sick!
"Great, you finally made her shut up." Ms. Amanda whispered in Locke's ear.

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

Ms. Amanda was not the first to do this. There were several women who tried to strike up a conversation before, but Locke rejected them all.

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

"Do you often encounter danger in your missions?" Noticing that Locke did not refuse, Ms. Amanda seemed to be encouraged, and she didn't care about Locke's extended hand, as if she was about to fall back.

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

Locke knew that it was a skeleton bird. Most of them used those poisonous scorpions and flying insects as food. Fortunately, they seemed to hit the glass wall by mistake. After this time, there was no sound again.

Through magic induction, Locke could sense the situation outside. Just now, the skeleton bird swooped down from the air, ate the poisonous scorpion flying insect into its mouth, and then hit the glass wall.

The skeleton bird's beak was quite hard, and it fell to the ground after hitting it. After shaking for a while, it stood up again, and its wings fluttered a few times before flying away.

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

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

It's the first night in the show that these guys broke through the glass wall and caused a lot of chaos.

Looking at it now, it still has the effect of letting people extinguish the candles and lower the sound. 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 smashing through 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 impossible to contact the outside world. It seemed that the thick fog had the ability to isolate the signal.

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

He himself took an ancient thread-bound book from Dongguo and read it carefully.

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

Although modern anatomy has not discovered the so-called acupoints and meridians in Chinese medicine, their functions are real. Otherwise, where would acupuncture and moxibustion come from?

Even the internal power in martial arts novels is imagined on the basis of meridians and acupoints. Since this world has extraordinary powers such as magic, it must be possible to find something through these researches.

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

In fact, he secretly made some experiments himself, spent money to find some vagrants, secretly used them for experiments, and already had some results.

Locke has discovered a complete circulation route of meridians and acupoints. If the circulation is continued 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, the magic power flows through the whole 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 will also consciously control the circulation of magic power in 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 not having a good night's sleep, everyone was about to rest. Locke led someone to check the glass wall and found that there were cracks in several places, and he began to worry about the night in his heart.

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 the period, I also killed fourteen or five kinds of two-headed earth dog monsters and a giant centipede lying on the ground as tall as a person and more than ten meters long. These are monsters that Locke has never seen in movies.

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

In other words, except for the super-large monster looming in the film, other ordinary monsters are not 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, apart from the sounds of poisonous scorpions, flying insects and skeleton birds that appeared on time, the supermarket was peaceful. Everyone got used to these sounds and gradually relaxed.

But after dawn, Locke found that the reinforced wooden boards on the outside were broken in many places, and the glass wall would not be easy depending on the situation, which made him know that the last night would not be very easy.

The wooden boards in the supermarket have been used up. Thinking of this, Locke went back to the supermarket and rearranged the evening, allowing women, the elderly and children to rest in the warehouse at the back at night, while other combatants stayed in the supermarket outside.

After all, there are more than 100 to [-] people in the supermarket, and the warehouse behind can't accommodate that many people.

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

Naturally, there is 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 destroy a giant praying mantis, he easily killed a giant centipede. Thinking that the federal rescue would come in two or three days, everyone's mood gradually improved.

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

If it wasn't for the fact that the crisis hadn't been resolved, these people might have prepared a party to celebrate.

Thinking of being able to retire on top of the compensation in a few days, even David couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment, and his wife who was probably dead at home couldn't suppress this excitement.

This may seem very inhumane, but it is actually in line with the thinking of most Americans who advocate freedom. The dead are gone, and it is more important to cherish the life in front of us.

"That's right, Li, be happy, don't be so serious all the time." Ollie, the supermarket manager, said and handed a bottle of beer to Locke.

He is only the manager of the supermarket, not the boss, so naturally he doesn't care about the loss of the supermarket boss, let alone whether the supermarket boss is 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 been an FBI for a long time, and you like to think wildly." David patted Locke on the shoulder.

"I hope so, too." Locke said, but his intuition told him that the next night, and the last morning, would never be easy.
