Chapter 372 Hiding in the Supermarket
The sky looked dim in the morning due to the gusts of wind created by the evil.
The road was full of people who were exhausted from running for their lives. Even if they fell, they would grit their teeth and get up to continue running. After all, no one wanted to fall behind.
However, can the person running in the front really avoid the danger of being swallowed by the evil?
Everyone just followed the instinct of survival and ran forward desperately. No one thought deeply.
The kind-hearted person who shouted to Jiang Wanwan and asked her to run away with him had already run past the door of the supermarket without stopping.
As for Jiang Wanwan, after a helpless bitter smile, she naturally would not run away with them, but still stood at the door and shouted, asking everyone to come in and hide.
I think, if she shouted more, naturally there would be people who were panicking and listened to her, right?
However, before Jiang Wanwan could wait for the accidental event to happen, she suddenly saw an acquaintance in the panicked crowd.
The tall figure with a person on his back, running towards this side from a distance, was Li Chengzhi whom she had seen yesterday morning!
Didn't he go to Yuanyang with the villagers of Lijia Village? Why did he appear here?
Did something happen? Are there other villagers from Lijia Village among these people?
Unfortunately, Jiang Wanwan was a little face-blind. Li Chengzhi talked a lot that day, but she still remembered his face.
As for the others, they had been masked, and she couldn't find them in this panicked crowd.
While Jiang Wanwan was stunned and pondering, Li Chengzhi had already run a long way forward, and everything behind him was also revealed in front of her.
It turned out that Li Chengzhi was the one who fell behind in the escape.
Behind him, there were only a few dozen people left, who were desperately scrambling to run forward with fear on their faces.
They really needed to fight hard, because behind them was the source of this disaster: the evil!
Jiang Wanwan finally saw it. The evil look that she had been thinking about with fear and curiosity really fit her fantasy.
A two-meter-tall, slightly illusory figure was emitting black smoke. Through the misty black smoke, you could vaguely see its face that was more terrifying than the green-faced fangs.
This evil no longer looked like a human. The flying black smoke was stretched out very long, like a terrifying tentacles.
It was clearly behind the crowd, dozens of meters away.
But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wanwan suddenly appeared behind the person who was the last one.
Then, the black smoke spread forward, wrapping around the man's legs, waist, neck, and head...
When the man was completely enveloped by the black smoke and merged with the evil, a miserable scream, accompanied by the sound of chewing, echoed between heaven and earth.
The people who heard the sound paused, and ran faster the next moment.
The faces of the few people who fell behind were even more desperate, because they didn't know if it would be their turn next?
Witnessing this scene of evil cannibalism with her own eyes, Jiang Wanwan had a real understanding of the cruelty of the world before her.
This feeling of being powerless to resist and having to run away, but not seeing a bright future, and being in constant fear of being eaten, made her feel the oncoming suffocation.
Life is precious. For the first time, Jiang Wanwan felt the meaning of these words.
This time it was not for business. She couldn't help but speak up and shouted loudly: "Li Chengzhi, come here quickly, I can withstand the vicious attacks here!"
Hearing his name, Li Chengzhi subconsciously looked over in the direction of the voice.
That strange house, and the strange owner in the house, oh, it turns out that he has escaped here!
The strange encounter the night before, the danger behind, and the words just now from the other party...
At this moment, many thoughts popped up in Li Chengzhi's mind, and then in a flash, he made a bold decision.
The steps that were originally moving forward deviated three points to the right.
Li Chengzhi broke away from the team in front and ran diagonally towards the supermarket along the shortest straight route.
While running at full speed, he was still shouting: "If you want to live, run to the house. The owner has means to resist evil. I have seen it with my own eyes!"
Everyone was skeptical about Jiang Wanwan's words at first, but now they heard someone say this and ran towards this direction, and they immediately became suspicious.
People have a herd mentality. When they don't know what to do, most people will follow others.
So, Li Chengzhi took the lead and ran a few steps, and then people followed him one after another.
Did they really believe what Jiang Wanwan and Li Chengzhi said?
No, they were just panicked and couldn't think normally, so they followed subconsciously.
At the beginning, there were only a few scattered figures, but as the situation developed, more and more people followed behind.
Gradually, a large tributary was separated from the large group in front.
Especially the dozens of people behind Li Chengzhi, listening to the chewing sounds behind them gradually disappearing, they followed the footsteps running towards the supermarket without looking back.
If they continue to run forward, they will obviously be eaten by the evil sooner or later, so they might as well take a chance on the unknown possibility!
Jiang Wanwan called Li Chengzhi at first, but she just thought that they had contact before, and the other party might trust her more than a stranger, with the mentality of saving as many as possible.
But unexpectedly, not only did Li Chengzhi really run over, but others also ran over with him.
Not far behind them, Xiezhe, who had finished eating his prey, wandered forward again behind the crowd.
Seeing that the number of people was increasing and they were getting closer and closer to the supermarket, in order to avoid being caught up by Xiezhe at the last moment,
Jiang Wanwan hurriedly pushed the supermarket door open a little wider and tried to get closer to the door to make more space.
She kept urging, "Hurry, run faster, come in!"
Because of the different paths and the weight problem, the first person to run into the supermarket was not Li Chengzhi, but a dark, slightly shorter and sturdy man.
In the situation of escaping, these people really ran as hard as they could. Even after entering the supermarket, they couldn't stop their feet because of inertia for a while and rushed straight to the cashier.
"Be careful!" Jiang Wanwan only had time to say this.
Because the people behind were rushing in one after another, and then crashed into the cashier counter.
Li Chengzhi came in between the crowd.
Before he came in, dozens of people had already entered the supermarket, and behind him, dozens more were running desperately.
