Chapter 88 Gray Fog
A fog that covered the sky and the sun drifted in, and it seemed that the entire port had been swallowed up.
Now, the sea in the distance and the anchored cruise ship are no longer visible, and even the containers on the shore are nowhere to be seen. The visibility is only about one or two meters, and I can only barely see the faces of the people in front of me.
Now, they are housed in a warehouse at the port, with food and water, so it doesn't have much impact.
Serena looked through the doorway at the gray mist, moving around along the surface as if it had some kind of consciousness.
She was very cautious and tried not to touch the mist.
I saw that the lights in the camp not far away were also turned off, as if they were preparing for some big event.
Could it be that there is something in the fog?
This kind of fog was the first time they had seen it. Even though they had been drifting on the sea for so many days, they had never seen this kind of gray fog with a strange and ominous aura.
At this moment, the army brought another group of people here.
When the two groups met, they were both wary.
The difference is that the new arrivals are all strong men.
They were carrying some tools and looked well prepared.
The leading man was shirtless, had black tattoos on his arms, and had fierce eyes. He looked very tough.
Because Selena and the others arrived first and had already occupied the best position, he took his men around the warehouse and finally chose to stop not far away.
They didn't seem to intend to communicate with Selena and the others, nor did they reveal their identities. They chose a place and sat down to rest, then began to talk in low voices, occasionally looking at them not far away with fierce eyes, as if they were discussing something.
Although Selena was a little nervous, she was not afraid. Her grandfather also brought a lot of people with him. In addition to the security team, there were also some sailors who had been on the sea for many years.
They had encountered many robberies before, but they were all driven away by them.
Michael saw her slightly worried look and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'm practicing controlling my superpowers. If anything happens, with my superpowers and your marksmanship, nothing will happen."
He meant what he said. Serena nodded and lowered her head to fiddle with the camera in her hand, intending to take some pictures.
"Actually, I'm not worried about this group of people. I'm wondering why the gray fog is one of the natural disasters. What exactly is it?"
This question was also difficult for Michael. He scratched his head and said, "Nothing has happened yet. We just need to be careful."
At this moment, Kirlian, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Gray fog represents disaster. I've seen an old movie about gray fog descending on a city, where it becomes the habitat of some kind of monster, and all sorts of monsters appear. Is that the case?"
This conjecture gave everyone an inspiration.
Their conversation did not avoid the other group of people not far away.
Several of them had already started quarreling.
"No! Didn't you hear what the soldiers outside said? The gray fog that's descending this time is extremely dangerous. If we go out now, who knows what will happen!"
"But it's too late. I promised that the medicine must be delivered before noon, otherwise my mother's condition will not be suppressed by medicine. No, no matter what, I have to go out and take a look."
"Hasn't the gray fog arrived already? It's right outside the door, and you all saw it. There are no monsters or dangers at all. Even the distant military camp hasn't heard any movement. I think this gray fog is just a cover for these soldiers. It's just an ordinary sea fog. We've encountered it before. It's not dangerous at all."
"Yeah, otherwise, Jason and I will go out and see what's going on outside. If that group of people comes and starts looking for goods before we do, maybe all the good stuff will be taken away."
But there were still some people who disagreed. In the end, only three or four people came out of the group. They prepared their defensive tools, opened the hatch, and prepared to go over and take a look.
Although there are troops stationed at the port today, those containers have become ownerless.
People living near the port noticed this phenomenon, and as food became scarce in the city, they began to come here in search of supplies.
After all, there are many import and export containers, which contain a lot of goods, including food, equipment, and other various medicines. They are welcomed by a large number of treasure hunters in the city.
Although the army was stationed here, they did not stop this phenomenon and tacitly allowed them to come in and search for items.
But this time, due to the heavy fog, soldiers suddenly appeared, brought them here, and told them not to go out to look for things before the fog disappeared.
To this group of people, this kind of talk was just the soldiers being envious of them because they had seen them coming here repeatedly to look for items. So, they took advantage of the fog to start making some more moves.
Although there are many containers in the port, some of them are empty and will be gone if you go too late.
And treasure hunters who have visited here several times may not get what they want if they go too late.
Therefore, under the temptation of huge profits, some people in this group began to loosen up.
They ignored the warning and began walking in the direction of the container.
At this moment, someone suddenly noticed that there was a buzzing sound in the gray fog that was getting closer and closer to them.
After a while, the people in the warehouse suddenly heard several gunshots, followed by many explosions.
Those who stayed here began to look at each other in confusion, and some were worried about those who left.
It is obvious that only people in the army have such sufficient weapons and equipment to hear such intensive gunfire. Could something really have happened outside?
At this moment, there was an intense knocking sound outside the iron house of the warehouse.
It seemed as if a violent swarm of hail had fallen on the roof, making tiny craters in it.
However, this time the knocking sound was not only on the roof, but also in front, behind, left and right, as if it was being hit by something.
Soon, there was a loud knock on the door. Judging from the sound, it should be the few people who had just gone out. They seemed to have encountered some attack and ran back, trying to get shelter in the sturdy warehouse.
The voice began to become hoarse and extremely terrified.
Someone in the group wanted to stand up and open the door for them, but was held down by the gangster boss.
"We don't know what's outside the door now. Since the soldiers don't dare to provoke it, how can we save it? No one is allowed to move. If the thing outside is let in, everyone will be buried with it."
