14. Confrontation
"people?"
Chen Mo smiled noncommittally.
Through conversations with David and others, as well as Chen Mo's own observations, Chen Mo has determined that this world should be a Dharma-ending world like Chen Mo's own world.
The only difference is that these fogs came suddenly a few days ago, and the monsters in the fog naturally appeared together with the fog.
Then this world should be filled with ordinary people.
Ordinary people are no longer a big trouble to Chen Mo, except of course the one holding the Gatling Bodhisattva, oh, the RPG Arhat can also be excluded.
"Yes, it's a human! And it's a woman!"
Speaking of this woman, David seemed extremely troubled. He reached out and scratched his head, which had not been washed for several days, and his greasy hair immediately made a rustling sound.
"The woman's name is Carmody. Some people call her Mrs. Carmody. In fact, she is quite annoying in the small town because she always holds a scripture and promotes her religion. You
I also know that the United States is a country with religious freedom. As long as she promotes religion without affecting others, everything is legal. However, she is too extreme. She often even uses some unknown red paint to carry out so-called
The blood sacrifice made everyone in the town feel very bad about her."
"Oh, a standard religious fanatic."
Chen Mo gave his own evaluation.
"Yes, Chen, what you said is very appropriate. She is indeed a religious lunatic! Before this fog came, no one believed her rhetoric. They just regarded her as a joke."
"But after the fog came and enveloped the town, everything changed!"
At this point, David shook his head. It was obvious that he didn't understand why anyone would believe the words of such a religious lunatic.
"On the day when the fog came, I happened to be shopping in the supermarket, and everyone was the same, so as soon as the fog came, everyone was trapped in the supermarket, and the religious lunatic still kept preaching her theory."
"Does anyone believe it?"
"Yes, I always thought that no one would believe it, but it's strange to say that the rhetoric that no one would believe in usually could be persuaded by so many people this time, and as time goes by, more and more people will believe it.
People are starting to believe her nonsense!"
Hearing this, Chen Mo murmured in his heart, could it be because of the aura in the mist?
Is this woman some kind of evil cultivator or a witch?
Because he had never seen the woman with his own eyes, Chen Mo could not confirm his suspicion, so he just echoed it.
"Maybe everyone wants to find some spiritual sustenance. This seems understandable, right?"
"If it is just pure faith, there is nothing wrong with it, but that Carmody woman always says that she wants to sacrifice to the mist, and she also says that as long as she sacrifices, the monsters in the mist will not hurt everyone! This
What kind of bullshit logic is this?”
"Then this is indeed a bit too much. This is not like an ordinary religion, it has some shadow of a cult."
Chen Mo nodded, already having some guesses in his mind.
"So what do you need me to do for you?"
"What can you do for me? No, you don't have to do anything. I just need your support. I united some sober people in the supermarket to organize an alliance. Together we fight against that Carmody cult.
Stop her so-called sacrifice!"
"At first we had a lot of manpower, so we were able to stop them, and it was quite effective. But as time went by, that woman seemed to have magical powers, pulling people into her cult. Now we have fewer manpower than them.
There are too many, and they can no longer stop their sacrifices. At first they sacrificed live fish from the supermarket, and then they sacrificed cats and dogs. I am really afraid that they will start to sacrifice living people in the future!"
So that’s it, I’m joining a group to keep warm!
Chen Mo finally understood why these people were a little excited after seeing him. They were looking for comrades to fight against the cult!
"No problem, you saved me, of course I will help you!"
While chatting, we were on our way, and we encountered no setbacks along the way.
Supermarkets and pharmacies are actually not very far apart.
"arrive."
As David finished speaking, Chen Mo saw a supermarket through the fog.
This is a supermarket with glass as its curtain wall.
It can be seen that the supermarket was originally very large and decorated to a high level, but due to the fog, this supermarket must have been renovated.
Behind the transparent glass wall of the supermarket are bags of sandbag-like items. If you look closely, you can see the dog food labels on the bags. There is also a hole in the glass curtain wall, which is roughly sealed with wooden boards.
Blocked.
Looking at such a dilapidated supermarket, David showed a bright smile!
"Welcome to our temporary shelter!"
David smiled as he stepped forward and opened the supermarket door.
"this?"
The scene in the supermarket made David's smile freeze instantly.
"What are you doing!"
He roared loudly and rushed in frantically.
Seeing David's attitude, his partner naturally understood that something must have happened in the supermarket.
He quickly followed David and rushed into the supermarket door.
Chen Mo also followed the crowd, but he was not reckless.
After seeing this supermarket, he had already felt some of the atmosphere here and did not feel the danger in the supermarket.
So there shouldn't be any monsters in the supermarket that he can't deal with, and the guy who seems to be a cultist isn't a master either.
As soon as he entered the supermarket, Chen Mo noticed that the atmosphere in the supermarket was not very good at the moment.
At this moment, there are two groups of people confronting each other in the supermarket.
The group of people near the supermarket are basically all grown-up strong men. They are holding various weapons temporarily modified from items in the supermarket. They have various pots, bowls, basins, various wooden sticks and iron bars, and more.
Kitchen knife or fruit knife.
Chen Mo counted roughly, there were about twenty or thirty people.
They followed a middle-aged white woman with a book of scripture in her hand with enthusiasm on her face. At this moment, the middle-aged woman was talking arrogantly to another group of people.
Facing these people was a group of old and weak women and children, who were closer to the entrance of the supermarket. There were only five or six people in this group of old and weak women and children, and they also held weapons made from various supermarket items. Only some of them
The two adult men were holding knives.
It was obvious that the group of old, weak, women and children were at an absolute disadvantage in this confrontation.
"Billy! Are you okay?"
David shouted and ran towards the group of old, weak, women and children.
"dad!"
From among the crowd of old, weak, women and children, a little white boy walked out.
He ran towards David very quickly.
David caught his son, held him in his arms, and patted his son's back to comfort him.
Chen Mo followed David's friends up and stood among the crowd of old, weak, women and children.
Chapter completed!
