Chapter 81-87

Selena came silently, handed him a towel, and whispered, "where are you going to rest?"

Luke nodded, walked to the corner of the small fortress like place, sat down to wipe the sweat on his body.

All of a sudden, he heard someone in the corner of the hall saying something.

Looking sideways, I found that there was a little light in a corner. A middle-aged woman was saying something to the people around her with her eyebrows flying.

Luke listened for a moment, with a sneer and a low scold: "bullshxt!"

This middle-aged woman is the one who was knocked unconscious and thrown into the bathroom in the afternoon.

She is also likely to attack Jim from behind, trying to stop him from turning off the light.

Now, the woman began to spread the words of God's punishment in the crowd.

Luke took a few steps, flipped through a shopping basket and found an orange.

Heft heft, he thought it was ok, now swing his arm.

Whoosh!

The middle-aged woman over there is saying: "well Reading the holy book, we have desecrated God for a long time. Today, he wants us to pay for our blood debt. It's time to take a stand. Blood sacrifice is like Abraham's plan to sacrifice his only son to prove his devotion to God... "

Bang!

A dark shadow came and hit her on the chattering mouth and raised her head high.

The black shadow also burst out a piece of juice, splashing around the audience.

They were stunned, touched the juice on their faces, and at first they were relieved.

It's not blood.

They looked at what had already exploded in the woman's mouth - it was a big orange.

Looking around, I found that most of the places are dark, only a lot of eyes silently watching the progress of the event here, they are flashing a light of mockery.

Putong!

The middle-aged woman fell on her back.

She was not the real God chosen one. An orange was smashed in her mouth. She couldn't bear the impact, so she was in a coma.

Luke took back his hand, put it in his pocket, whistled slightly, and paced back to the castle.

Selena snickered silently. After he sat down, she pulled his face and cheered in a low voice: "honey, you did a great job."

Luke shrugged. "Don't talk about it. It's the orange's hand."

An orange tossed the disgusting god mother, and the supermarket fell into silence.

After a day of panic, everyone was tired.

Even Luke began to rest, and Selena kept her watch.

In this kind of environment, he believes nothing but Selena.

After three hours of sleep, Luke woke up.

Patting the tired Selena, he whispered, "I'm awake. Take a rest."

Selena was not polite either. She immediately lay down beside him, pulled a blanket and fell asleep.

Listening to the occasional noise from outside the supermarket, Luke thought.

It's not the way to stay here.

It's just a small town, it doesn't matter.

When I came here, I heard that the communication here was basically interrupted, as well as the legend of the nearby military base in the supermarket, all meant that the incident was not simple.

Luke didn't want to use his life to prove the conscience of some military bureaucrats. He had to leave this place if he wanted to survive.

But it's too dangerous to drive out.

As long as you meet that giant monster, the car can't protect him and Selena.

How to get out of here is a serious problem.

He thought about it for a long time.

All of a sudden, someone came up in secret.

Luke looked and found that it was a woman.

She leaned closer, looked at Luke's eyes, and walked closer. Then she whispered, "thank you for saving me at night."

Luke just made a sound, thinking of who this woman is.

She was the woman who was caught by the pterosaur monster and almost killed with a single bite.

Her age is about twenty-seven or eight, and her clothes are not ostentatious, but Luke happens to know the brand of the clothes, which are at least a small luxury of thousands of dollars.

With the expensive lady's watch on her wrist, she is a rich man.

Carefully constructed hair and nails are also confirming this from the side.

"My name is Alice Miller." She sat down next to Luke and whispered, "it's an executive of a public company."

Looking at Luke's unchanged look, she bit her lips, pondered for a moment, and then said, "you're very good. I want you to help me save my daughter."

Luke raised his eyebrows: "go outside? Ha ha, I don't want to die. "

"I can give you a lot of money." Alice said, "how about a hundred thousand dollars?"Luke shook his head. "Mrs. Miller, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend your life."

Alice's heart sank, and she continued to add: "twenty No, five hundred thousand dollars. I can sign an agreement with you first. As long as you take my daughter out, you can use this agreement to get money from my account. "

Luke shook his head without hesitation. "I'm sorry, I'm not interested."

Alice's face broke down and tears began to appear in her eyes: "my daughter is only eight years old. She has been at home alone for half a day..."

Luke laughs and laughs: "Ms. Miller, it's hard to say how many people outside the supermarket are still alive. I'm not gloating, but in this case, we are all in danger. How can we save your daughter? "

Alice, who had been annoyed, suddenly moved when she heard the words "it's hard to protect herself".

She leaned her head closer. "What if I had a way to get us out of here?"

Luke raised his eyebrows. "Tell me."

Alice: I have a helicopter in my backyard

Luke was shocked. "Are you kidding?"

Helicopters are not uncommon, but it's a little strange that some family in this town has helicopters.

Alice: "you can ask other townspeople. They all know that I come here by helicopter every time. Don't forget, I'm a senior executive of a listed company, and a helicopter doesn't burden me too much. "

Luke frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "I'll think about it. I'll give you an answer before dawn."

Alice paused, and a moment later said, "as soon as possible. My daughter is autistic, and she can hardly make any noise. But after a long time, she is likely to find food or go to the toilet. I'm afraid of her... "

Luke nodded to make it clear.

Alice finally left.

Luke frowned, woke up Selena beside him, and told her about it.

They just said it for less than two minutes and made a decision - to find the helicopter.

If that Alice executive really has a helicopter.

Selena got up, slipped into the office, found some awake women, and asked about the helicopter.

Luke also found Ollie and some of the clerks, chatted a few words, also side interview to explore a few words.

As a result, Alice didn't lie.

She really often drives a helicopter and takes her little daughter on holiday.

Moreover, her home is not far from the supermarket, which is just like three or five hundred meters.

Luke's in a heartbeat.

Instead of being stuck in the supermarket in this small town, he hopes to find his own way out.

Compared with cars, the biggest advantage of helicopters is that they can lift off.

Although there may be monsters in the air, there are not many voices in the air as far as Luke has been concerned about the outside world.

Like flying insects and pterosaurs, they fly more slowly, and they are not creatures flying high in the sky.

As long as the helicopter takes off quickly, it can get rid of most of the danger.

Of course, there may be more dangerous air creatures, but any choice is not foolproof.

By his reckoning, the danger of standing by is far greater than finding a helicopter to get out.

Because there are only a few hundred people in this town of Rumford.

Even if yesterday's supermarket gathered around the scattered residents who came to large-scale purchase, the total number is only one thousand.

This is what he learned when talking with store manager Ollie yesterday. It's also the source of his biggest worries.

If the fog incident was caused by the military, what measures would they take to eliminate the monsters in the fog?

Luke felt that if he waited any longer, he would be hurt.

Thinking so, he whispered a few words to Selena and went to find Alice Miller.

"Are you sure you have a helicopter at home?" He asked in a low voice.

Alice nodded with excitement in her eyes: "yes. And the plane was only overhauled and maintained before yesterday's flight, and the oil was also full. "

Luke let out a breath: "well, get ready and start at seven."

Alice was a little worried. "Can't you go at once?"

Luke rolled his eyes. "It's dark outside now. No matter how crazy I am, I won't fight in the dark. I don't want the lights to attract the flying insects."

Alice was dumb.

The dense flying insects can't be resisted by human beings. Flying insects also attract the pterodactyl monster, which almost killed her.

Luke looked at the time. "You'd better have a rest. It's five o'clock now. We'll be ready to start in an hour and a half."

Alice nodded and simply lay down beside them, so that she could be at ease.

Luke didn't say anything.

A mother who is willing to give everything for her daughter has nothing to blame.Let Selena continue to rest, and Luke begins to prepare.

The map of the town is very simple. It's in the supermarket. He has already taken one in his hand.

Repeatedly studying the route to Alice's home on the map, he was more confident.

From here to Alice's house, it's no more than 500 meters away. You can drive one foot of oil and rush through it. The whole process lasts for three minutes.

It's up to the gods whether or not there will be huge monsters.

Helicopter driving is not difficult. Salazar, who was killed by him, has basic helicopter driving ability. He learned decisively.

Alice's helicopter is just a simple two person helicopter, but Alice, an executive of a listed company, is not short of money. The plane she bought has a large space and enough load. It's OK for three, one and four people to take off.

Think about it, or that sentence - everything depends on the face!

The emperor is attached. Luke and Selena can get out of the prison and return to safety in less than ten minutes.

It's possible to run into a big boss if you don't cover your face.

When it was half past six, Luke woke up Serena and Alice and asked them to prepare.

He went to find Ollie and David and told them about going out.

They were both surprised to hear Luke was going to help Alice find her daughter.

But it's Luke's own choice, and they don't have many reasons to stay.

Luke has just helped them adjust the location of the residents. Everyone moves to the sealed warehouse and office in the back half of the supermarket, and then turns all kinds of goods into isolation belts.

In this way, even if some monsters break in, they will not be in a state of chaos like last night.

This is the safest way in this trapped environment.

Let these townspeople go out to face those monsters. Nobody wants to come.

The biggest destabilizing factor among the townspeople is that the middle-aged God woman was blackhanded by Luke last night. An orange knocked out most of her teeth, and her lips were swollen, and she had obvious concussion symptoms.

Even if she didn't have a concussion, her disturbing mouth wouldn't work.

After arranging this, Luke came to the door with Selena and Alice, who had packed up their equipment. He motioned to Ollie and they moved the water pipe and the table.

The three men slipped into Luke's car not far from the gate.

Without turning on the lights, the engine of Ford's new car was quiet, turning around quietly and driving into the fog.

In the newly closed supermarket, store manager Ollie and David stood for a moment, sighed and hid in the back safe space again.

Luke's car, like a ghost, was moving slowly on the road.

He didn't dare to drive too fast for fear of hitting something.

The car drifted forward like a sea of mist.

Alice's mouth was covered with a towel, which Luke was afraid that she would shout and let her do.

If she really wants to talk, she can pull off the towel.

Alice's heart thumped as she watched Luke's direction.

Luke did not drive the wrong way. He drove right from the main road to her house. He had arrived outside her house within two minutes.

She saw the mailbox on the roadside of her neighbor's house, and hurriedly reminded in a vague and low voice, "it's just ten meters away."

Luke stopped quietly, turned to her and said quickly, "be quiet, don't make a noise, follow us."

With that, he got out of the car quickly, and Selena and Alice followed.

Within five seconds, the three men came to the front of the bungalow. Luke took the key given by Alice, quickly opened the door and stepped in.

When they followed in, he closed the door lightly.

With a gesture of keeping up, the three quickly went upstairs and ran straight to Alice's room.

After entering the room, the bed was empty.

Alice was not nervous, but went to the bathroom door a few times. After opening the door, she saw a small figure curling up in the bathtub.

She came forward, shaking her lips, and called softly, "Carrie, Carrie!"

Luke followed in, patting her on the shoulder a little.

Alice woke up at once and made way for her body.

Luke leaned forward, checked the little girl's condition and whispered to Alice, "no problem, i.e. no food or water. We don't have to deal with it for the time being, until we get out of here. "

Alice can be a company executive, but also find Luke to save her daughter, is not a fool, immediately nodded to understand.

Carrie's condition is not good, but she has no life worries.

But she is very quiet with autism, and she is used to hiding in the bathtub alone when no one is with her.

Maybe that's why she didn't attract monsters and survived.

The three men went downstairs again and found Alice holding Carrie.When we got to the back door, Luke opened the door slowly, and the white fog came in.

He was marching with slow steps, and the bat in his hand was ready to go.

Out of ten meters, I saw Alice's helicopter.

Luke stepped forward, opened the helicopter, took the pilot's seat, and began the inspection.

A moment later, he launched the helicopter.

The most dangerous moment, too.

Although this is a case of emergency escape, most steps of helicopter take-off can be omitted, but this is not a car, not a toy that can fly to the sky with the key inserted and the accelerator stepped on.

As the helicopter rotor began to rotate, it could be called a huge sound spread to all sides.

Luke's face was calm, but the steps he started didn't stop.

He already felt something peeping around, but maybe he didn't know about the helicopter, and the crazy rotating propeller kept them away.

To spend "seconds" like a year is how he and the two people in the house feel now.

It's very painful to wait for the helicopter to start in this four volt environment.

Finally, Luke pressed the walkie talkie: "you can come here, Selena."

A few seconds later, Selena and Alice, holding her daughter, ran out.

Selena got on the plane first, pulled Alice up again and sat on herself.

Luke reached out and pulled up the door on his side, and Alice closed it on the other side.

The helicopter rose slowly from the ground.

In the fog, small helicopters, like birds in cages, are struggling to fly high.

Gradually, the helicopter flew higher and higher.

Luke's heart was finally less tense.

Now, the helicopter has reached a height of nearly 100 meters, and the possibility of meeting danger is greatly reduced.

All of a sudden, he noticed something unusual in front of him, and subconsciously deflected the helicopter.

Two seconds later, the helicopter passed an object.

With his composure, his heart was beating wildly at the moment.

Selina and Alice next to each other stopped breathing completely. They didn't dare to breathe.

In the fog, a huge object and the helicopter are leaning away.

In the fog, Luke seemed to feel this thing slightly glancing at the helicopter, but he still walked on his own.

He subconsciously looked at the dashboard - 120 meters high.

But just now, the behemoth looked down at the helicopter.

So, that guy's height Over 100 meters?

Luke didn't expect that he actually hit the big boss this time.

But I didn't expect that the boss was so big that the other side would glance at his interest.

Maybe, just like lions are not interested in flies, their helicopter is not as good as the shredded meat in their teeth in front of the big boss.

Until the helicopter rose to a height of 500 meters, it suddenly broke through the thick fog. In the distance, on the horizon, a rising sun lit up four people in the helicopter.

In this moment, even Luke, who is calm, has the feeling of being distracted and reborn.

After eight o'clock in the morning, the four of Luke got off the helicopter and stood on the land of Houston again. They all felt like they had been killed for the rest of their lives.

The early morning sun is shining on the building of the police station in the West District, bringing out golden light.

An agent of a serious case team just bought breakfast, entered from the back door, saw Luke and Selena on the tarmac, and was stunned: "Luke, Selena, are you back?"

When Luke and Selena saw the man, they both smiled and said, "Oh, Kreiger, good morning."

Kreiger, with a strange look on his face, looked at the helicopter behind them: "you How can I drive this thing back? "

Luke hehe: "there is an emergency, let the friend bring it back by the way."

Though Kreiger is a little suspicious, he can't ask any more questions.

Everyone's cases are confidential to each other, unless they are good enough to gossip.

But Luke and Selena have only been here for a few days, and they just say hello to each other.

So he nodded and went in.

Luke and Selena walk into the police station with Alice's mother and daughter.

At the back door, Selena stops, fumbles around, pulls out a few coins, shoves them into the vending machine, and operates it twice.

Two taps, Dr. Pepper came with two cans and two boxes of milk.

She took a can of it herself and shoved it into Luke's hand, and she gave Alice the milk.

Watching Celine drink, Luke can't help shaking his head and can only open it.

He hasn't been very cold with this thing, and Selena has been trying to make him like it. In her words, partners should share good things together.I don't know if there were too many strange smells last night. Luke suddenly thought that the taste of this thing seemed pretty good.

So they went all the way to Thomas's office, drinking caramel and carbonated drinks and taking Alice's mother and daughter with them.

Beckoning Alice to wait outside, he knocked on the door, and someone inside shouted, "come in."

Thomas frowned and said nothing as they pushed in.

As a deputy director, he doesn't like the fact that such subordinates come to him directly, even if Luke is his relative.

Luke made a salute: "chief, we need to report something to you."

Thomas frowned. "Then write a report and send it."

Luke: No, chief, this report can't be written

Thomas: why

Luke: because sheriff burick handed us a case, the one to investigate the disappearance of the police officer in Larkin, yesterday we set out to go there

Thomas was stunned. "And then?"

Luke: "then before we got to Larkin, we had an emergency in ramford, a town dozens of kilometers away from Larkin. Now the town is surrounded by a strange fog. There are many strange creatures in the fog, killing many residents. Only some residents hide in the supermarket for help. "

Thomas was stunned: "what?! Are you kidding? " It's not a horror movie. It's not such a wonderful thing.

Luke: "no, chief. You must be able to check it soon. I'm here to ask you how to write my report this time. "

Thomas has an uncertain complexion.

He's not stupid.

Luke said that if he couldn't make it right, he would have to be pulled in and share the risk.

But Can he get away with it?

Thinking about it, he waved: "don't write this report for the time being. In addition, you and Selena have a holiday first Three days. Have a good rest. Don't tell me anything about ramford. Do you understand? "

Luke nodded: "I see. Do you want me to speak to chief burrick? "

Thomas waved: "no, I'll let him know. You wait for me in the police lounge. "

After the two left, Thomas began to call.

In less than 30 minutes, he sat in the office in shock and began to sweat.

A moment later, he suddenly came back to his senses and swore: "this fool, burrick, dare to use this small hand against my people! This guy has a lot of skills and means. "

Thomas is actually angry that Berwick's time to send the case to Luke is too opportune.

One day later, now Thomas is not so upset.

Well, well, Thomas is actually a little bit annoyed, because he forced this case out at the beginning.

It's not that he's too busy. There won't be any investigation by the West District Police Bureau in Larkin.

Who knows, inexplicably put their own pit.

God knows how much trouble there will be in it. There should be hundreds of thousands of people trapped in Rumford Town, but his two detectives came out of there.

It's really hard to say whether this will affect the situation of his bottom seat.

But can he blame himself? Obviously not.

He is the deputy director. If he is wrong, it is also his fault.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Luke and his wife. Should he blame them for working too hard?

That mistake must be burrick's.

If it wasn't for this guy's trick to drive Luke and Luke to Larkin, Thomas wouldn't be upset now.

Berwick's behavior from the novel is to think carefully and wear shoes for Luke and his wife.

In a big way, it's against director Thomas.

Moreover, burick is not his man, but the director of Faraday.

That's why burick dared to target Luke.

As long as it's a normal job, Berwick is not afraid of Thomas finding fault.

But now Thomas sneered and called burick casually to tell Luke that they had a special situation and had a three-day holiday.

Then, Thomas began to use his relationship to quickly ask Rumford for information from the city of larquin.

Luke and Selena came out, took Alice's mother and daughter, took some snacks from their desks, and went to the temporary rest room inside the police station.

The rest room, in fact, is a corner beside the hall, with half circle partition, which can cover certain vision.

There are sofas, tables and chairs. You can have a rest or eat.

Two blankets were found for Alice to take care of her daughter's food and then rest herself.

They sat on a small table and ate temporarily.

Luke, of course, ate chocolate. He prepared quite a lot of this high calorie food there.Eating fast-food sandwiches, drinking milk, and chewing some chocolate, Luke just carefully looked at his harvest of the day and night.

(Note: as in the previous chapter, it is the same as the revised Wanzi chapter.)
