Ruona had already been frightened to the point of losing color, and was almost about to faint. But Jie Juan, as a newcomer, was calmer than anyone else, and was using her very professional "psychology" theory to enlighten Ruona, allowing Ruona to slowly relax from her tense mood.
Meng Xiang and Mori returned to the car. Mori started the car again, but suddenly turned around and made a face and said, "I'll state in advance that my sonic sensing can only sense the shape of an object, and cannot tell whether the object is dead or alive. So if you encounter the same thing again, everyone should be careful."
"Just don't drive too fast. Also, if you sense an obstacle, go around it and don't get close to it," Shakira said calmly.
Mfela didn't like to talk much, but at this moment, she stared at Jiejuan and said to Meng Xiang, "Young man, is this little girl really a newcomer?"
Meng Xiang nodded, not understanding why Mfela asked that. Mfela showed an expression of disbelief, coughed lightly, and then slowly said: "You have only been in the reincarnation world for an hour, but you are calmer than the seniors. Little sister, are you really not afraid at all?" He was so old that he even called Jiejuan, who was over 30, "little sister", which made people laugh and cry.
Jie Juan said calmly, "Is it useful to be afraid? Besides, I have seen all the human nature. Is there anything scarier than human nature? Grandpa, you have time to ask unnecessary questions. Why don't you take a good rest? You seem very tired after performing that strange spell just now."
"What a scary little girl." Mfela wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted slightly. He didn't have enough points to strengthen his mental power, and he couldn't unlock his potential, so even if it was a double C-level magic, he had already consumed nearly half of his magic power after casting it.
The car continued to move slowly in the thick fog, and along the way, it encountered many characters trapped in the car. They either drove slowly with the lights on or accidentally overturned the car, but they did not dare to get out of the car because from time to time, some strange sounds of creatures came, shocking their nerves. The smell of blood on the road was very strong, and even human remains appeared. In order not to scare Ruona, Mori continued to drive as if nothing strange had happened.
Ruona lives on the edge of the town. This is her home. She can find her way home even if she closes her eyes. They easily came to Ruona's house, a single elegant two-story house located next to the jungle, more than 50 meters away from the nearest neighbor. The town in the movie is not adjacent to a bustling city, so whether it is the protagonist David or Ruona, their homes are always in a very secluded natural area.
In front of the small house, Ruona pushed open the car door and ran back home at a running speed, shouting: "Vic, Vic, where are you?" She took out a bunch of keys from her small bag, but she was so flustered that she couldn't insert them into the keyhole three or four times. Mori walked over and pushed gently, and with a "click", the door latch was broken. A smell of blood rushed towards her, and Ruona screamed frantically: "Vic, where are you? Come out quickly, mom is back."
She was running around frantically in the room, and suddenly she screamed and looked at the corner in panic. Everyone rushed over and saw a middle-aged woman in servant's clothes lying on the ground, her scalp was lifted up, and the flesh on her arms was turned outward. Mori walked over and turned the body over, and saw a creature with three short horns on its head, two pairs of fleshy wings on its back, and a pointed beak full of long teeth on the woman's fat belly. The creature had a mouth full of blood and meat scraps at the corners of its mouth, but it was suffocated to death by the servant's fat belly.
“Wanda, where is Vic, where is Vic?” Wanda was the servant who took care of Vic, and also the name of the corpse in front of her. Ruona leaned over like crazy and pulled the corpse’s collar desperately, and suddenly heard a voice coming from upstairs: “Mom, I’m upstairs, come and save me.”
“Vic, it’s Vic.” Ruona cried with joy and hurried upstairs, but her foot slipped and she fell to the ground. Ruona ignored the pain and struggled to get up. Shakira said to Mori, “Those two people are the ones we are escorting for this mission. You go up and protect them. Don’t let them get lost.”
Mori responded and ran up to the second floor. Shakira kicked the strange creature and said, "This kind of creature doesn't seem to have appeared in the movie, but they have one thing in common, which is that they are very bloodthirsty. Could it be a mutant?"
Meng Xiang has watched The Mist at least 10 times, but the plot of the movie is not about the monsters in the fog, but about revealing human nature, so there are only a few scenes of the monsters appearing, and there is no direct disclosure of the reasons for the formation of the fog or where the creatures in the fog come from. Before he could say anything, Jie Juan said, "I have seen The Mist. The opening of the movie mentioned that scientists were carrying out the Arrow Project near the town. This clue was only briefly mentioned, but the formation of the fog was already obvious."
"I know that, but are those monsters really mutated?" Shaq stretched out his legs and poked at the corpses of the small creatures on the ground and said, "It makes sense that these small creatures are mutated, but it seems unlikely that the strange monsters tens of meters tall at the end of the movie were mutated from the original creatures on Earth."
Meng Xiang knew that the mystery they were facing was also a gimmick of the movie. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, our mission has nothing to do with the source of the fog, so there is no need to understand the truth about these creatures."
As they were talking, Ruona, Vic, and Mori came down from upstairs. Vic was a cute little boy, with gauze on his forehead, faintly oozing red spots, and his face was covered with tear marks, even though they had dried, there was still a look of panic and fear left.
Ruona looked at Wanda's body and said with gratitude, "Vic is fine this time, all thanks to Wanda's protection. Not long ago, thick fog covered the sky, and Wanda hurriedly closed the windows, but when she closed the last window, the monster flew in and pecked at them. In order to protect Vic, Wanda pressed the monster under her belly before she died." As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears like a river breaking its dam.
Ruona comforted softly, “She is indeed a responsible person, but now that things have come to this, don’t be sad.” She turned to Mo Li and said, “Close all the doors and windows first, and it’s best to use wood to stabilize them.”
Mori answered and left. Shakira reached out and took out an object that looked like a cell phone but was much larger than a cell phone from his ring. He put it to his ear and said, "Witt, do you hear me?"
This is the telepathic device. Meng Xiang could not imagine that this advanced prop would have such a crude appearance. It was really shocking. But the telepathic device is very useful. Within a certain range, no matter what the environment is, you can communicate with the other party through telepathy. It's just that due to habit, they still speak during the conversation. With this telepathic device, even if the team is divided into two teams in the harsh horror movie environment, they can still keep in touch.
After a while, Shakira nodded and continued, "You've worked hard. If anything happens, please notify me immediately." She put away the telepathic communicator, a little happy on her face, and said with a smile, "The Nameless Team is really strong. Just now, the supermarket was attacked by monsters. There were not only octopuses, but also 6-meter-tall praying mantises and beasts that looked like dogs but had fangs. They rushed into the store door and were about to break in, but the man named Zhang Jin walked into the thick fog alone and killed them all with a wave of his hand."
Zhang Jin's bellicosity was almost abnormal, and Meng Xiang could even imagine the fanatical expression he showed when he killed monsters. However, compared with the bugs on Planet P, the monsters in the fog were much fewer in number, so Zhang Jin didn't take them seriously at all.
"Captain Shakira, what should we do next?" Meng Xiang had an idea in mind, but he would not force himself to take the lead. He only provided advice and did not take away Shakira's responsibilities as captain.
Shakira sat on the recliner, clenching her chin in thought, while Mfela coughed several times and said in a rough voice: "Let's get something to eat first. I'm hungry."
When Ruona returned home and saw that her beloved son was fine, she felt relaxed, as if she was not afraid of the sky falling down. The food was rich, with steak and salad, and she even took out red wine to thank them. Mori exchanged for a mechanical body, but it did not stop him from eating and drinking. He stuffed his mouth with food and said, "Ruona, your cooking skills are comparable to the chefs in the hotel." Ruona blushed slightly, poured some red wine into his glass and said, "It's just a home-cooked meal, eat more."
While tasting the red wine, Shakira suddenly asked, "Madam, the fog outside is very dangerous. What are you going to do next?"
Ruona’s body trembled slightly, and she involuntarily moved closer to Vic, holding Vic, who was concentrating on eating, in her arms and said, “Wait for rescue in the house. I believe the rescue team will arrive soon. They have guns and are not afraid of monsters.”
Shakira said calmly: "Then let's wait for the rescue team together. We can't go anywhere now anyway."
“Okay.” Ruona was very happy. She was divorced from her husband, and there was no one else in the house except Vic and Wanda. Now that Shakira and the others were keeping her company, she was of course very happy.
