A Rollover

The film "The Mist" fully displays humanity's powerlessness, fear, and despair within two hours.

However, the film offers very little explanation of the origins of the fog and monsters, or perhaps it doesn't even attempt to explain them at all... leaving it for the viewers to ponder.

In Han Dong's view, the ending was not satisfactory.

Could such terrifying life forms be completely eliminated by the military in a short time? Han Dong didn't think so.

It's important to know that these soldiers were among the first humans to come into contact with the fog and monsters.

[Mythical Stage]

"As expected... once we reach Joints plot point, ominous signs will appear."

While the townspeople's attention was focused on the slowly approaching army, Han Dong secretly slipped away to the empty warehouse.

The Omen Card and the metal dice were taken out at the same time.

This time, the cards are marked with three white Octopus Imprint, making them significantly more difficult to obtain than the Cold Spider event.

Dice - [2].

Unequal values indicate an ominous sign.

[Ominous Sign - Deep Sea Shadow]

Fear: ★★★

Source: The terrifying life forms lurking in every corner of the deep sea worship a god more ancient than many planets, and every once in a while they need to go ashore to find suitable offerings.

Characteristics: Unknown (Ominous signs are highly concealed)

Requirements: The male protagonist (David), at least four supermarket employees, and at least ten civilians must survive and return to the supermarket; otherwise, the corresponding Omen Points will not be obtained.

"The interpretation of this ominous sign is different from the last one?!"

The location and what will happen are not mentioned, and the characteristics of the life forms to be encountered are also hidden... Is it because they are already in a 'hidden' state?

Furthermore, the requirement that as many townspeople as possible survive and return to the supermarket... indirectly suggests that there's something wrong with the arriving army?

Thinking of this, Han Dong immediately went to the ventilation opening in the back warehouse and drank a bottle of energy replenishment potion.

Gaa...

"Crow"

A large number of magically created Living Crow, generated from Han Dong's palm, flew Outside World through the ventilation shaft.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Han Dong returned to the supermarket lobby.

The supermarket doors were wide open, and all the townspeople had boarded the military's large transport vehicles, their anxiety and unease turning into relief.

Everyone, including the protagonist, believed that the danger had passed.

The male protagonist David, quickly waved to Han Dong in the supermarket:

"Nicholas, get in the car quickly... They said we need to go to the nearest military area for disinfection and a full medical check-up to make sure we haven't been infected by the monster."

"Um..."

Staring at the soldiers wearing gas masks, Han Dong felt uncomfortable being 'spyed on'.

At each of the four corners of the large transport vehicle, a soldier was assigned to guard it... seemingly to provide protection, but in reality, it was as if they were monitoring the entire vehicleload of townspeople.

There were also two military armored vehicles in front and behind.

Han Dong quickly noticed several strange details.

1. Including the soldiers driving the vehicle, all their eyes were fixed on the humans in the transport truck, never looking away for a moment.

2. The soldiers standing at the four corners of the transport vehicle had wet trouser legs and military boots, and one soldier even had a piece of coral stuck to his ankle.

3. The gas masks worn on soldiers' faces have almost no visible 'joints,' giving the illusion that the gas mask 'grows' on their faces.

The ominous signs, combined with speculation about the movie's plot, suggest a possible connection to the story.

Han Dong was 80% confident; the problem lay with these soldiers.

The requirements state that the goods must eventually return to the supermarket... The longer the goods are delayed on the transport vehicle, the farther away they will be from the supermarket, so action must be taken as soon as possible.

Gaa gaa gaa...

Before they knew it, the area above their heads had been shrouded in crows.

There were countless crows, at least a thousand of them...

Without a word, the soldiers immediately pointed their weapons at the crows, including flamethrowers used to burn insect nests.

However, the crows made by Han Dong were specially modified.

Knowing in advance that the soldiers would use flamethrowers, Han Dong had unilaterally enhanced the magical crows, increasing their fire resistance.

Only a few crows were shot down.

Breaking free from the flames, it frantically tore at the soldier's body with its sharp beak.

"Um!?"

As the crows tore at the soldiers' gas masks, they actually managed to create a wound, from which clear, foul-smelling blood oozed out...

camouflage.

That's enough to confirm that these soldiers were monsters in disguise.

Ordinary weapons were no match for the crows' frenzied attacks.

The soldiers shed their disguises and transformed into terrifying monsters with cylindrical fleshy mouths on their faces, closely resembling gas masks.

Whoosh!

The changes at the physical level are even more terrifying.

The soldiers' backs were completely torn apart, and terrifying octopus tentacles with dark blue spots grew out of their backs.

These tentacles, equipped with a 'suction cup structure,' will attach themselves to the crow and quickly suck it dry once it gets close.

Fortunately, there were enough crows to continue to buy time.

The fog, which should have dissipated, gradually thickened again as the 'soldier' revealed his true form.

"Monsters... monsters! These soldiers are monsters."

When someone shouted that, the townspeople on the transport truck immediately panicked.

Just then.

Han Dong picked up the Fire Axe he had prepared in advance and, to match the image of the character he was playing, shouted out loud:

"Fuck you!! Die, you damn ugly monster."

It has a very strong presence.

The axe was aimed at a nearby long-beaked soldier, and it swung down hard... Of course, the swing was enhanced with the power provided by the G-Virus, enough to split the transport vehicle in two.

Whoosh!

The ugly head flew high into the air, and then a flock of crows dragged its headless body away from the transport vehicle.

Successfully killed an Octopus Soldier.

Han Dong's actions quickly calmed down some of the already wary townspeople.

There were only four monster soldiers on the transport vehicle... Han Dong has already taken care of one.

At this moment, the 'protagonist David,' whom Han Dong had secretly trained, demonstrated his leadership abilities.

"With the help of the crows, let's quickly deal with the monster soldiers on this vehicle... As long as we can gain control of the transport truck, we can drive back to the supermarket quickly and fight a positional war against them."

Under the influence of the Protagonist Halo.

Immediately, ten people calmed down, took out the weapons they had prepared in the supermarket, and launched a counterattack...

But... things aren't that simple.

"Ah! Help... Help me!!"

A strong man wielding a chainsaw had just sliced open a soldier's shoulder when he was grabbed by octopus tentacles...

Sizzle! The area where the suction cups were attached quickly began to corrode, turning into a pool of dissolved skeleton within three seconds.

Within one minute.

Six townspeople died in despair.

Because they revealed their true forms, even the magical crows had difficulty harming these Deep Sea Kin, and they died in droves.

There are many difficulties in interpreting ominous signs.

One of the issues is that Han Dong cannot openly use his abilities, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the movie characters afterward, and the plot would go astray.

"If we stay on the limited space of the transport vehicle, the townspeople will all be killed in a short time... This is the only way."

Han Dong secretly controlled the yellow sand, creating a high mound of earth in front of the transport truck.

"Everyone, hold on tight!!!"

Boom!

The transport vehicle overturned.

The crows did their best to ensure the residents were not injured in the fall... As for the mutated Octopus Soldier, they were thrown heavily out of the carriage due to the overturning.

Such a rollover gave the townspeople a chance to catch their breath and escape.

The only downside to doing this is that you have to walk back to the supermarket...
