The fog was looming before my eyes.

When Shizuku, Tamamonomae and the lady walked out of the supermarket, they were immediately engulfed by thick fog. The fog was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The visibility was less than five meters. Fortunately, the woman was familiar with the area, so even in the thick fog, she hurried towards her home.

It was not known whether they were lucky or not, but they did not encounter anything strange along the way. However, this did not mean that everything was normal. On the road, they saw vehicles parked in a mess, surrounded by spider webs, and the people inside died with their eyes wide open and expressions of fear on their faces. No one knew what they saw before they died, but it was obvious that it was definitely not a good thing.

Although the woman herself was also very frightened, her love for her child overcame her fear. She hurriedly crossed the street and came to a house on the other side. Then, with trembling hands, the woman took out the key from her bag, opened the door, and rushed into the house.

"Wanda! Victor!!"

The woman entered the house while calling her child's name. At the same time, Tamamonomae gently pulled Shizuku's sleeve.

"Shizuku-sama..."

Shizuku turned her head and looked at Tamamonomae with a finger in her mouth, looking like she was about to drool, and sighed helplessly.

"Go ahead, don't cause any trouble, and remember to come back when I call you."

"Um!"

Hearing Shizuku's reply, Tamamonomae nodded excitedly, then she jumped up, paused on the street lamp for a while, and then disappeared in the thick fog. It was not until this time that Shizuku walked into the woman's house and closed the door. When she walked into the living room, she saw the woman hugging her two children tightly with tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so glad you're all okay... So glad..."

"It looks like your children are all safe."

Shizuku walked into the living room and spoke, and when the woman heard Shizuku's voice, she hurriedly looked up at her.

"Thank you, little girl, for accompanying me on this journey."

"I didn't do anything."

Shizuku waved her hand.

"You know very well, right? We didn't encounter anything along the way. I was just following you."

"You are willing to accompany me back, which in itself is enough..."

Having said this, the woman was stunned for a moment and looked towards Shizuku's side.

"I remember there was a little blonde girl with you..."

"Oh, she's playing nearby and will be back soon."

"nearby?"

"Don't talk about that."

Shizuku changed the subject immediately. She certainly couldn't tell the girl that Tamamonomae had gone to a nearby restaurant to enjoy a Western-style meal. But even if she did, she probably wouldn't understand.

"What are you going to do next? Go back to the supermarket? Or wait for rescue in the house?"

"this……"

Hearing Shizuku's question, the woman also fell silent. Although they had not encountered any monsters along the way, the broken streets and dead bodies clearly showed that the outside was not a safe environment. No one knew what was hidden in the thick fog.

Finally, the woman made a decision.

"I plan to wait for help at home with my children."

“A wise decision.”

Shizuku nodded.

"I suggest you block all the windows with wooden boards. As long as the fog doesn't get in, you won't be attacked. It's also best to hang a SOS sign outside to avoid being ignored by rescuers."

"Thank you, I'll do that... Girl, aren't you planning on staying?"

Looking at Shizuku, the woman hesitated for a moment, but still made an invitation.

"If you are worried about food, we have enough food stored at home, and it is relatively safe to stay here..."

"I still plan to go back to the supermarket to check the situation..."

“Ahhhh!!!”

Just as Shizuku was answering, suddenly, a shrill scream was heard not far away, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Hearing this sound, the two children immediately hugged their mother in fear, while Shizuku rolled her eyes helplessly... She had just instructed Tamamonomae not to make a big noise.

"Well, I'll be leaving now."

Having said this, Shizuku nodded to the woman, and without waiting for her to say anything else, she walked out of the house. When the woman hurried to the door, Shizuku's figure had completely disappeared in the mist.

After leaving the girl's home, Shizuku quickly arrived at the place where the strange sound was heard. There, Tamamonomae's small body was lying on a huge monster, biting its flesh hard. This monster looked like a five-meter-tall elephant from the Lord of the Rings, with five or six legs and a strange head. Although it was unknown how majestic it should have been when it was alive, at least now it was only used as food for Tamamonomae.

"Shizuku-sama!"

Seeing Shizuku coming, Tamamonomae raised her head and greeted Shizuku obediently.

"Hey, how's it going, Xiaoyu? Is it delicious?"

“It’s not tasty.”

Tamamonomae pouted in dissatisfaction.

“It felt greasy…it didn’t taste good at all.”

"American food is just like that, just bear with it."

Shizuku touched Tamamonomae's little head. Although British food is disgusting, American food is not much worse. It is cheap, large and filling, but it has nothing to do with health and taste. Otherwise, how did those poor people in the United States who eat more than the landlords come from? Isn't it because they eat those greasy, nutritious and cheap junk food all day long?

As for eating medium rare steak and lettuce salad... Shizuku was too lazy to talk about it. There was once a book that said that Americans don't understand diet at all, which in itself is enough to explain the problem.

At least the British still have the stars to look up at, but what else does the US have besides hamburgers, fries and tacos? The rest are imported goods from all over the world, like General Tso's chicken and fortune cookies... They are neither Chinese nor Western.

Although Tamamonomae didn't like the taste, at least she had a full meal from the monster, which made her more or less satisfied. According to Tamamonomae, she also felt the breath of some monsters in other places, but those monsters gave her a feeling of being unpalatable, so she didn't plan to eat them and just killed them directly.

"Since we are full, let's go back to the supermarket first. We still have to pick up the snacks we bought."

That's right, this is why Shizuku had to go back to the supermarket. They bought a bunch of snacks for the rest of the journey, and they couldn't just give up because of this weird thing. Who knows if there is another supermarket nearby that sells snacks.

Then Shizuku took Tamamonomae, who had eaten and drunk enough, to the supermarket again. It was already late at night. When the two walked not far from the supermarket, they saw a large group of insects surrounding the supermarket and hitting the glass desperately. The refugees inside the supermarket were still stupidly holding flashlights to shine on the insects outside.

"What the hell are those guys doing?"

Seeing this scene, Shizuku was speechless. Even if you don't know the characteristics of monsters, you should at least know that insects are attracted to light. Why are you waving the light here? Are you afraid that the insects can't get in?

So the knowledge level of Americans is not even as good as that of elementary school students.

Sure enough, soon those bugs began to hit the supermarket glass frantically. How could the broken glass of the supermarket withstand the impact of these huge strange bugs that were more than one meter long? In the blink of an eye, several loud "cracks" were heard, and the glass was immediately shattered. Then the bugs swarmed in, and soon, screams were heard again.

"A bunch of idiots."

Shizuku sighed helplessly, then she sped up and rushed towards the supermarket. Following the hole opened by the bugs, Shizuku slipped in. Looking up, she saw that the whole supermarket was in chaos. The huge bugs were buzzing everywhere, attacking everyone. Several men among the refugees were desperately trying to drive away the bugs with mops and sticks, while others were holding their heads and screaming as they ran away...

"Everyone, get down on the ground immediately!"

Shizuku no longer hesitated at this moment. She roared, then she drew out Frostmourne and swung it forward. Soon, a whistling cold wind suddenly broke out, sweeping across the entire supermarket, and the huge buzzing insects were instantly frozen into ice and fell to the ground.

"Bang!!"

Just as everyone was in doubt, a bat-like black monster that was more than a person's height rushed in with its teeth bared, then it spread its wings and pounced towards Shizuku. Shizuku swung her sword without looking back, instantly cutting off the monster's head, then she thrust Frostmourne into the ground with her backhand, and in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a loud "swish", a thick ice wall suddenly rose from the ground, forming a barrier to block the monster's attacks.

It was not until this time that those who had been attacked stood up in shock. They looked around blankly, as if they could not believe what had just happened.

"God! God, please save her!"

At this time, a young man in military uniform suddenly pounced on another woman lying on the ground. The woman seemed to have been stung by a strange insect before. She was twisting her body desperately on the ground, struggling constantly, and wailing in pain. Several people were surrounding her, watching this scene helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"Go get the medicine!"

"What medicine? What medicine should I take?"

"Let me take a look."

While everyone was in a mess, Shizuku walked over and looked at the woman who was struggling in pain. Then she raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers. Soon, a ray of light appeared and shone on the woman's swollen neck. Under the shining light, the swelling on the woman's neck quickly dissipated, and her originally painful breathing became much calmer.

"alright."

Shizuku clapped her hands and looked at the man in military uniform beside her.

"Just let her rest for a while and she'll be fine."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Seeing that the woman was safe, the man in military uniform hurriedly thanked her, while Shizuku waved her hand and turned away. At this moment, the black old man came to her.

"Thank you so much, little girl. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened."

Having said this, the black old man looked behind her.

"That lady..."

"Oh, she's back home safely, and is now staying at home with her two children waiting for rescue. I advise you to stay here and wait, and don't run around."

"So, what should we do next?"

At this moment, some other people also gathered and looked at Shizuku anxiously.

“It’s very simple.”

Shizuku yawned.

"Eat something, take a nap here, and wait for rescue... It's easy. Those monsters won't invade places without fog. If your family stays at home instead of running around, there should be no problem."

"No!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, a woman screamed.

"No one will come to save us. This is God's punishment! We will all die!! No exceptions!!"

As she spoke, she raised the book in her hand high.

"Everyone, everyone, this is God's will!!"

Hearing the woman's roar, everyone became at a loss and panicked for a moment, while Shizuku just glanced at her.

"What the hell is this crazy woman?"

Then, she asked indifferently.
