Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Heavy Fog
The rain and fog came inexplicably, but they completely disrupted everyone's plans.
The crowd taking shelter from the rain in the Pearl Hotel suddenly fell into great panic, even worse than when they were trapped in the underground shelter and couldn't get out - even a three-year-old child knew what kind of terrifying monster was hidden in the fog.
When the tentacle monster first appeared in the fog, it could be harmed by iron knives, but as time went on, not to mention kitchen knives and shovels, even bullets and explosives might not be able to hurt it at all.
The most urgent thing is to find a closed space to hide, otherwise they will all become food for the tentacle monster.
The people gathered in the hotel lobby rushed to the guest room corridor, trying to find a place to stay. However, the cold security door blocked their way and prevented them from moving.
The electronic lock on the security door had long been inoperable due to power outage, and the universal card left at the hotel front desk became a useless card.
If you want to open the door intact, you can only use the hotel's master mechanical key.
So a large group of people had no choice but to rush back to the first floor and turned the hotel lobby and front desk upside down.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
what to do?
Are they going to die in the hall?
The outside world was shrouded in fog, and the view was becoming increasingly blurry. Perhaps in a few minutes, visibility would approach zero.
It's too late to leave now.
"ah--"
"Fuck you..."
A string of obscenities emanated from a human's mouth, and he yelled and screamed in despair, as angry as a bull out of control.
The alternating heavy rain and heavy fog had obviously broken his psychological defenses.
"Are you sick? Why are you yelling?"
"If you want to die, get out of here and don't bring disaster to others."
The people closest to the man rushed forward and quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from making any more noise.
The tentacle monster is particularly sensitive to sound. Once a monster is attracted, everyone in the hotel will suffer.
"Hiss, fuck, let me go."
The crazy man suddenly opened his mouth and bit one of the men's hand, causing the man to scream in pain.
"Release" "Release"
The clenched fist made close contact with the man's brain. With a "bang", the man's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"you****"
The person who was bitten was so angry that he kicked the man a few more times, making a loud bang.
The people around did not step forward to stop him when they saw this. They also did not have any good feelings towards the man. This kind of person who harms others and himself deserves to be beaten.
"The fog is coming in, the fog is coming in, everyone quickly find a place to hide."
A steady stream of white fog poured into the hotel lobby through the gaps in the glass doors and windows. After a while, the fog blocked the ceiling above everyone's heads.
In an instant, the crowd fled in all directions.
Tentacle monsters don't care about physics. As long as there is fog, they can reach any place without restrictions.
"Is the door sealed?"
"It's blocked."
Zong Kangping stepped hard on the wet clothes under his feet to make sure that the clothes completely filled the gaps.
The three children also knew that foggy days were dangerous, so they stopped playing and lay down on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
Miao Xun looked worried. "It's a pity I still have a few packets of instant noodles in the cabinet. Now I'm trapped in the hotel and can't get out. What should I do?"
A heavy fog will take at least two or three months to dissipate, and they can't stay in the hotel for two or three months.
I would have starved to death long ago.
Miao Xun looked at the three peaceful little faces on the bed, feeling extremely desperate and unable to muster any strength.
If it hadn't been such a coincidence that the rainstorm was accompanied by heavy fog, they could at least have stayed in the shelter.
Not to mention having enough food and drink, you won’t starve to death either.
But in this situation, I'm afraid that as soon as I open the door and take a few steps, I will be spotted by the tentacle monster and dragged away and eaten.
Going out means death, and not going out also means death. In short, it's all death, there is no way to survive.
Zhang Shuhui sat beside her mother and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much. We still have some food in our bag, which should be enough for half a month."
"Besides, when the fog comes, there will be more mushrooms. If all else fails, we can get some mushrooms back to eat. They won't kill us anyway."
Miao Xun sighed: "Unprocessed mushrooms are just Guanyin soil, right? Eating them will only last for a while. What if a bad mutation occurs? It will be difficult."
After hearing this, Zhang Shuhui didn't know what to say.
You know your own business. There were three yellow mushrooms and two green mushrooms hidden in my father-in-law's bag.
Grind these mushrooms into powder in a 1:1 ratio, soak them in water, and then boil them at high temperature for two hours. This will control the uncontrollable factors in the gray mushrooms and make the human body produce only positive mutations.
Eat as many mushrooms as you want then.
It’s just that Zhang Shuhui couldn’t tell her mother about this now, after all, they are two different families.
I still remember that when my eldest brother and sister-in-law were imprisoned in a reformatory, my mother always wanted her to use her connections to see if she could get them out.
If my mother knew that there were a few special mushrooms hidden at home, she would inevitably blame me in her heart for not taking care of her brothers.
After all, they are mother and son.
But she had to use her own family's money and the things her father-in-law had worked so hard to bring back at the risk of his life to feed two ungrateful people.
Oh, don't even think about it.
Besides, if she really did that, she would lose her home.
Although her father-in-law and husband asked her to manage the family property, she actually knew very well that everything was for the good of her two children and their small family.
It's okay to send some food, drinks, and other necessities to my mother and nephew, and no one can blame me. After all, they are my mother's family, and we have the unbreakable blood relationship and the grace of raising them.
But if you feed two ungrateful people without restraint, you will completely lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Zhang Shuhui believed that if she did that kind of thing, her father-in-law and husband might not say much for the sake of their two children, but they would never trust her again in the future.
How can a family live together if they are not united?
So Zhang Shuhui remained silent.
Anyway, my mother and little nephew live with them now, so they won’t go hungry.
…
"One room for one mushroom bread. Whoever needs it, come, first come, first served."
"Opportunities are rare, and I won't come out when the fog gets thicker."
All I can say is that there is no shortage of talent anywhere.
Taking advantage of the fact that the fog in the hotel was not too thick and it was relatively safe, some people actually started doing business.
Although a mushroom bread is worth five points in the shelter and the reward is not expensive, the times are different now. Food has become a scarce commodity, and the value of a mushroom bread is no longer the same.
Someone was in a hurry to find a shelter, so he had no choice but to take out a mushroom bread and ask him to open the lock.
But not everyone is willing to exchange food.
Several tall and strong men surrounded the locksmith and said, "Little brother, you really don't have anything to give us. Can you let us pay you first?"
The locksmith took a look at the three men's bodies, smiled, and said, "Sorry, I don't take credit here."
The faces of several strong men fell instantly, and they threatened sinisterly: "Boy, don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty."
Locksmith: "Sorry, I don't like drinking."
After saying that, without waiting for the others to take action, he took the initiative and picked up a strong man and threw him out like pulling an onion out of dry land.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
The three men fell heavily to the ground, dazed and dizzy, and there was no trace of their previous threatening aura.
The locksmith dusted off his hands and revealed his eight large white teeth. "Anyone else want to buy me a drink? Come on, don't waste my time."
There was complete silence all around
After a while, someone came out with a mushroom bread and said, "Handsome guy, could you please help us get a room?"
Locksmith: "You choose which one you want."
He took the mushroom bun, opened the lock for the man swiftly, and went on to do the next business.
He Junxia, who witnessed the whole process with his mental power, raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this young locksmith was a lucky guy whose physical fitness had been greatly improved.
——Everyone has different levels of acceptance of uncontrollable factors, and the direction and degree of physical mutation are also different.
Some people’s hearing improved, some gained strength, some recovered their vision, and some saw improvements in all aspects.
Some people see quick results, and their bodies will be significantly strengthened after eating gray mushrooms a few times; some people see slow results, and there is not much effect even if they eat it every day.
Unfortunately, the wisher's son and daughter-in-law are not sensitive to uncontrollable factors. The two children are too young to eat more and the effect cannot be seen.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
