Chapter 68-80 (1/2)

Luke pondered for a moment and said, ”I'm a policeman. Although the FBI wants to catch you, I know it's for your X gene. You didn't make any mistakes. You were even a simple victim. You were innocent. I don't need to sacrifice an innocent person in exchange for a promotion. It's my personal principle, but it's none of your business. ”

Carol was silent again, and somehow wanted to cry.

What kind of life has she been living these days.

Inexplicably, he was shot by someone who broke into his house, and then woke up to find himself in the morgue, scared to escape all the way.

The uncontrollable anger made her run to get revenge on the Mexican gangs, and in the end, she fought with the gangsters and the black suit in the warehouse, and almost got caught.

At last, Luke let her go, and now he even pointed out a way to live for her.

Although it's only 8000 dollars, it's very economical for Luke, a young policeman, to be able to earn 560000 yuan a year at the top of the sky, eat, drink, and leave 10000 yuan.

Luke came out to work as soon as he looked like this. Maybe these eight thousand dollars are his whole family, but he gave them to a complete stranger without hesitation.

Are there really good people in this world?

Carol is a little confused.

Luke ignored Carol's thoughts, but went on to talk about various techniques of make-up and concealment.

Now, his ability comes from the special police of Salazar, which is more suitable for Carol.

It took him two or three hours to stop cramming.

”No matter how much you write down, you will have to work on your own in the future.” ”Now, while it's dark, get out of here,” Luke said

Carol looked much calmer this time.

She came here just to say thank you.

But unexpectedly, she got unexpected help.

Once again, she had a goal, a hope for the future, and no longer as ignorant as before.

If she really has a goal, she will not vent the trouble of looking for Mexican gangs, but how far to hide.

She stood up and bowed to Luke to thank him. ”Thank you. You're a good man.”

Luke's face is a little dark.

This line is not right! I don't want to be a convenient NPC.

Carol said nothing more, walked out of the door, and finally took a look at Luke in front of the door and left quickly.

Luke looked at the girl who disappeared on the stairs and sighed, ”good luck, I can only help you so much.” Then he closed the door.

Selena had a good time tonight. She had a good meal, though she didn't have enough.

She also heard a lot of inside information and watched Luke teach students, which has satisfied her.

When Luke closed the door, he waved to her, ”get up and start.”

Selena: ah

”Clean up the room and leave no trace of Carol. I don't want to be stared at by the FBI in Charles.” Luke said, and went to get the cleaning tools.

Selena's face broke.

It turns out that there is a price to pay for listening to gossip.

Luke was cleaning, but he was thinking about Carol.

As he said, there is only so much he can help.

To let Carol go, to offer her a sum of money, and to point out a way to live, is the limit he can achieve.

More than that, he's not that capable.

Cheney's shield agents alone are troublesome. Don't mention the whirlpool in New York. He doesn't want to go now.

He got Carol's ability, but also helped her as much as possible. The rest depends on the girl's own luck and strength.

They cleaned up. For the police, how to clean up the scene thoroughly is a job.

Nothing of Carol's, including fingerprints and hair, will be left in this room.

This tossed until eleven o'clock in the evening, two people wash and sleep.

The next day, the two drove straight away.

Lakun is more than 400 kilometers northwest of Houston. It is a relatively remote small city.

After more than three hours, both of them changed their positions and entered a small town dozens of kilometers away from Larkin.

It's a small town called Rumford, but it seems to be a lot more lively than shackford.

Luke looked around the town and thought that if he was bored in Larkin, he could go there for a holiday.

The scenery here is good, and the consumption of small town is not as high as that of big city.

Selena was driving there, looking around: ”where is the bathroom? I want to go to the toilet. ”

Luke looked out of the window and pointed: ”there is a supermarket over there. There must be a toilet.”

As soon as Selena turned the wheel, she drove over: ”the view of Rumford is no better than that of shackford.”Luke ha ha.

Although Selena is beautiful and hot, she is a little childish and likes to play. It must be a bit disappointing to put the ”travel” place in such a remote and unique place.

The car carried two people. In the early morning sunshine, they parked in the parking lot next to the supermarket.

Selena got out of the car and hurried to find the bathroom.

Luke sat in the car and looked at the busy people at the gate of the supermarket. He thought it was a little strange.

These people take all kinds of things out of the supermarket in packages, as if they are in a rush to clear their warehouses.

Once in a while, a few townspeople passed by and heard what they were talking about. Luke only knew that there was a storm here last night, which destroyed a lot of things nearby.

For example, the housing and vehicles of residents, some power lines, some fixed telephone lines, and even cell phone base stations have failed.

Luke took out his cell phone and looked at it. He found that there was no signal. He called 911, but there was no signal either.

He didn't care too much.

Anyway, it's just passing by. As long as it's not like this in Larkin.

A siren sounded, Luke looked over, and found that the wind on the side of the road rushed through a large number of vehicles.

There are fire engines, ambulances, maintenance vehicles, and finally a string of military vehicles.

Listening to the chatter of the townspeople not far away, he knew what military base there was on the mountain nearby, and he didn't care much.

There are too many bases in the United States. It's not surprising that they are large and small. These townspeople are also used to it.

About ten minutes later, Selena came out and sat in the copilot's seat. She half complained and half explained: ”God, there are many people in the bathroom of the supermarket. It's like a war. A child who is too anxious almost pulled his pants.”

Luke wrinkled his nose. ”It's not diarrhea, is it?”

Selena laughed: ”how could it be, it's just peeing. Let's go, let's go! ”

The voice fell, a harsh air defense alarm sounded.

They also heard a series of Shouts. Looking aside, they found that there was a vast white fog in the mountains behind them.

Many townspeople are running in panic. Many people unconsciously run to the crowded supermarket.

An old man came running with his nose and mouth bleeding, and he cried out in fear.

Selena didn't quite understand, Luke did.

”Monsters, monsters in the fog.” The old man called and ran all the way.

Luke frowned and drove quickly to the gate of the supermarket. ”Selena, take all our ammunition, weapons and bulletproof clothes,” he said

As an outstanding representative of safety first, Luke always adheres to the principle of preparedness.

Even if he went to the field this time, he still carried all the equipment according to the normal situation, including more bullets than usual.

Selena, without any hesitation, had packed up her things quickly in the car.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up.

The spare equipment of the two men is two large bags, one is firearms and ammunition, the other is bulletproof clothing. What she does is to take them out.

Luke had driven quickly to the side of the supermarket gate, almost to the glass wall of the supermarket.

He picked up two big bags and walked into the supermarket with Selena.

Selena had not noticed, but Luke had found that there were many faint screams in the white fog.

But under the air defense alarm, most people didn't hear.

He even saw a man being caught in the fog by a giant insect like claw when he was submerged in the fog.

What's terrible is that this pincer like limb is more than five meters long.

For such a giant, Luke doubted whether his guns would work or whether he would be prudent to hide in the building and observe the situation first.

Shortly after they entered the supermarket, the panicked clerk closed the door.

Finally, people in the supermarket heard the scream of someone in the white fog spreading from the outside, and the old man ”monster monster” who ran before shouted, all of them had a sense of fear.

Looking at the white fog surging over the supermarket, covering the sky and the ground in the sight, everyone's face is very ugly.

”It must be the factories west of the town that exploded. These are the toxic fumes in the factories.” Someone muttered.

Luke sniffed at the remark.

There is no smell of chemicals in the smoke. It is a kind of natural smoke, with a faint smell like forest and wilderness.

There is also a little smell of blood, which belongs to the townspeople who just died.

Luca took Selena and whispered in her ear.

With the structure of the supermarket, I really met the behemoth he saw. When a pair of pliers came over, a row of glass curtain walls on the front of the supermarket would smash a small half.It's really unsafe to get close to the glass curtain wall.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

Many people fell to the ground and the whole supermarket was in a state of chaos.

Luke helped Selena, who was a little unsteady, and clapped on a falling fluorescent lamp.

The vibration came and went quickly, and stopped in less than 20 seconds.

He was relieved that the supermarket didn't collapse except for some debris.

In such a moment, if the supermarket in the hiding place falls down, it will be fatal.

No matter how bad the supermarket is, it's also a cement building. In addition to the 20 meter glass curtain wall on the plane of the gate, the other walls are all cement walls.

Stay here, at least don't be afraid of a pair of pliers popping out.

The panic caused by the vibration soon stopped, but the depressing thing happened - the power supply was cut off.

After hearing a few shouts from several salesmen, Luke knew that the shop was already supplying electricity by its own generator this morning.

The vibration may have caused problems with the generator in the basement.

Lucla found a short bespectacled man called the store manager: ”are you going to check the generator?”

The store manager looked at him strangely and nodded: ”yes, it's not only lighting, but also the ventilation system here needs electricity, otherwise so many people will be bored here.”

Luke: we'll go with you

The store manager was shocked: ”ah?”

Luke pulled out his badge: ”we're detectives from Houston. We can still provide some help when we go on a business trip to Larkin.”

The store manager looked at the badge and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Houston's detectives can't manage it, they are at least professionals who are better at dealing with emergencies than their civilian counterparts.

He nodded his head and said to the two salesmen to leave.

A man saw it next to him and asked the store manager for two sentences, saying that he would join in.

Luke didn't object. There were enthusiasts everywhere.

As Luke walked, he turned around two large tooling vests on the shelf and threw them to Selena.

The store manager looked at him suspiciously.

Luke smiled and said, ”don't worry, I'll pay.”

If the store manager thinks about it, two detectives will not steal the small things with tens of dollars.

We also introduced each other by the way.

The short glasses store manager is Ollie.

A 40 year old supermarket handyman is Jim. He is in charge of repairing the generator.

In addition, Norton, a 17 - and 18-year-old boy who works as a temporary worker in the supermarket, was also called to help.

The warm-hearted man, David, is a painter who lives in a nearby mountain. He recently came on holiday and closed door to create new works.

As a result, there was a storm last night. The house on the mountain was hit by a big tree, and the electricity was cut off, so we had to take our son and wife down the mountain.

It was dark in the basement.

Store Manager Ollie pressed the LED camping light in his hand.

Fortunately, it's a supermarket with all kinds of daily things.

The two salesmen also pressed the flashlight in their hands and looked around.

Jim went to a corner where the generator was isolated by the iron net.

He looked for a moment and said in a loud voice, ”Ollie, there's no problem. I'll try to restart the generator.”

Store Manager Ollie can't repair the generator, of course.

Jim restarted the generator and the light in the basement came on.

All the people were relieved.

In this case, there is no electricity. It's really a bit messy.

Jim sniffed: ”I don't know what's blocking the air vent, and it stinks. Norton, I'll open the door. You go out and have a look. If you have any clutter, clean it up. ”

Norton nodded. ”No problem.”

David couldn't help interposing: ”wait, you let this kid out? There's danger in that fog. ”

Jim was dissatisfied: ”what's the danger? The vent is by the door. I'm not letting him run far. What's more, if the air vent is blocked, the ventilation equipment will not work well. Do you make the people on it choke? ”

David still shook his head: ”I don't agree to let this child take risks. The air is almost no big problem.”

Jim despised: ”you are a painter, you can earn a lot more money than us, but you don't need to teach us how to do things. Norton, are you ready? ”

Storekeeper Ollie also hesitated: ”Jim, or forget it, anyway, there is electricity, and the air vent is not a big problem.”

Jim had a stiff neck: ”I don't want to keep smelling this. Norton, I'll open the door. If you can get out, just give me a shout. ”

”OK.” Norton was eager to try.

The child clearly saw it as an adventure game.

When the fog was just used, he was moving things in the warehouse. He didn't see it with his own eyes, so he was not too afraid, but he thought it was fun.When these people argued, Luca took Selena to the side, took the bullet proof clothes out of the bag and began to wear them.

Then they put the newly brought vest on the outside to cover the big HPD logo on the back.

After wearing it, Selena slightly bumped into Luke's arm, meaning ”we don't care?”.

Luke's eyes gave her a sign. She knew for a second, and the man retreated away from the door, and armed.

Jim opened the door and raised the roller shutter half a meter above the basement exit.

Norton called a halt and crouched to see what was going on outside.

The white mist came slowly through the opening.

All of a sudden, Luke, who was near the gate, came forward with a look of lightning. He grabbed Norton, who was crouching there, and threw his collar at him. He threw the big boy onto a pile of dog food a few meters away.

At the same time, he quickly backed away, but his eyes were fixed on the gap of the roller shutter door.

Jim was stunned, and then he wanted to scold.

As a result, a huge tentacle suddenly jumped out of the fog and into the gate.

Ollie, the store manager, and David, the warm-hearted man, all backed away.

The tentacle is incredibly big.

The length of the probe in is more than five meters. Except for the slight tip of the head, the diameter of the main body is at least twenty-three centimeters.

What's more, there are rows of barbs on the tentacles.

It can be imagined that after it entangles people, these barbs will not hesitate to plunge into the human body, making it difficult for people to get rid of them.

Luke squinted, looked around, grabbed a steel bar like a crowbar and threw it.

The steel bar with a slight sharpness nailed the tentacle to the ground.

My tentacles hurt, I want to recycle them.

Luke had grabbed the fire axe on the wall and threw it again.

Under the great power of the axe blade, it cut off half of the tentacles, and the tentacles were desperately recycled. Then it tore off the rest of the tentacles and retracted them.

There was only a ferocious barb on the ground twitching.

All the people were shocked by the battle of the rise and fall of the rabbit, and no one spoke for a while.

Luke said, ”Jim, close the door.”

Jim: ”ah? Oh, yes, yes. ”

A few seconds later, the shutter doors came down again, temporarily isolating the danger.

Luke stepped forward, picked up the axe and went down again.

The small half of the tentacles that had been twitching there curled and twisted, like a bug.

Then they saw that the tip of the tentacles had something like the mouth, which was full of sharp teeth and spit out a stream of black and green liquid.
