American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 470 Hubble Town

July 4, Maine.

This state is arguably America's most overlooked state, as it is located in a relatively remote area, and its only well-known specialty, lobster, was named after Boston.

Yes, the famous Boston lobster actually originates in Maine, but it becomes Boston lobster by being transshipped through the port of Boston.

So much so that one of the most famous sites in the state is the birthplace of the great writer Stephen King.

Stephen King often sets his horror stories in his hometown of Maine, and it's unclear what traumatized him as a child.

Horror novels have added a lot of mystery to Maine, leading to many folk tales.

However, Maine is generally quite suitable for tourism.

Maine is located at a relatively high latitude, so it is not too hot in the summer.

Because of its relatively small population, the natural environment has not been greatly damaged, and it has a large amount of virgin forests and mountainous areas.

The ten beautiful women landed in Portland, the largest city in Maine, and then rented a campervan. Two female guides took turns driving, heading towards the mountainous region of northwestern Maine that borders Canada.

"We are now heading to the White Mountains, which connect New Hampshire and the Canadian province of Quebec. This remote mountain range has always been a favorite among hikers. We should reach the foot of the mountain by evening at the latest."

The female guide driving the RV was named Lanny, and the other guide in the passenger seat was named Mara. Both of them were experienced guides who had trekked through the White Mountain Range.

"Will it take that long?"

Ashley was a little upset.

The most grueling part of long-distance travel is the car ride, but at least ten beautiful women are sitting in a spacious RV, unlike the feeling of being imprisoned on a bus.

But long car rides can be quite boring, so Nidi suggested playing some games.

"We have exactly ten people, how about we play Werewolf?"

Upon hearing this, Heather couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"No! You and Claire always win at Werewolf! You can always guess who we are, what's the point? How about we play a game of chance instead? How about cards?"

Nidy is a master of Werewolf, skilled at manipulating others with language, while Claire is a psychologist who can read micro-expressions to determine if someone is lying.

These two playing Werewolf are practically cheating.

In card games, although Nydy and Claire are both very strong, luck played a bigger role, and it's unlikely that both of them would win.

Amy looked at Heather with a puzzled expression.

"There are ten of us, what card game can we all play?"

Upon hearing this, Keller suddenly thought of a card game.

"You could try Texas Hold'em, but that game requires a dealer and a relatively large table."

This kind of game definitely can't be played in an RV.

In the end, everyone split into three groups and played regular card games.

Niddy and Claire, two high-level players, played cards one-on-one, while the other eight were novices playing against each other, which was quite fun.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mara got out of the driver's seat.

"Ladies, we're about to reach the last town before heading into the mountains! We need to buy some supplies, drinking water, and fuel!"

The RV soon drove into a small town called Hubble, where the scenery was so beautiful that the women who got out of the vehicle felt refreshed and relaxed.

"What a beautiful town! It reminds me of Waterfall!"

Jennifer stretched out her body; twelve people were cramped inside the RV.

"It feels different from Waterfall Town; it seems much quieter here."

Penny made a similar comment.

At this moment, Lani spoke up.

"Everyone, go to the supermarket to buy supplies first, and then you can take a short stroll around the town. Our journey here went quite smoothly, so we arrived an hour early."

There's a medium-sized supermarket in Harbour that has a surprisingly wide selection of items, including a lot of mountaineering gear.

This made Keller very curious.

Why would there be a supermarket this size in such a remote place?

Lanny explained.

"Don't let Hubble Town's remote location fool you; it's the last supply point for many hikers heading into the White Mountain Range. So hikers come here to buy things every day, which is why a supermarket was opened here."

With this explanation, everyone will understand.

While purchasing supplies, Claire also encountered another group of people preparing to enter the mountains, and she happened to know this group.

"Dina?"

A young red-haired woman turned her head when she heard Claire's voice, then her face lit up with surprise.

"Claire! What are you doing here!"

The two embraced warmly, and their relationship seemed quite good.

It turns out that Dana was Claire's classmate, and they were in the same major.

"We're also here in Baishan for tourism!"

Upon hearing this, Dina released Claire.

"Is it because I recommended this place to you? I should have invited you to come with me from the beginning! By the way, would you like to come with us? Holden's distant relative has a holiday home in the White Mountains, we can stay there for a few days!"

Claire was a little hesitant; if it were just her alone, she would definitely have accepted the invitation.

"Um, I came with my companion."

"Claire, who are you talking to?"

At this moment, Melly also came over, and when she saw Diana, she showed a surprised expression.

"Dina, what are you doing here!"

"Of course we're here for a vacation in the White Mountains! Kurt, Holden, Julie, and Martin are all here!"

These people were all UCLA students in the same year as Melly and Claire. Although they were in different majors, they would occasionally run into each other and knew each other.

"What a coincidence! Where are you headed?"

At that moment, a young man with a buzz cut came over and stared intently at Mei Li.

"We're going to the holiday cabins by Black Lake, do you want to come?"

When Mei saw the look in the other person's eyes, she instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Well, maybe we shouldn't? Our original plan was to go up the mountain and cross the White Mountain range into Canada."

The honey badger was getting anxious, but the blonde woman beside him stopped him.

"Hoden, don't do this! Meryl, Claire, why don't we go to Black Lake first? It won't delay your plans!"

Mary and Claire were clearly hesitant; both of them had good relationships with Dana and Julie and didn't want to refuse their invitation.

"There are quite a few of us on this trip, I don't know if the others agree."

"Then ask them. Standing here won't do any good."

Then a young man walked over, holding a hookah and puffing away.

"That's right! I'll go ask now!"

Mary pulled Claire away and turned to find the others.

Just then, a burly man walked over. "Hey, what are you all doing here? What happened?"

Among them, the blonde girl Julie looked at Holden with a teasing expression.

"Kurt (played by Thor), it's nothing, it's just that Holden saw his dream girl and couldn't move!"

"Hoden's goddess, could it be Mary? Is Mary here too?"

Kurt's expression was merely one of surprise, without any other thoughts, because he was currently pursuing Julie.

Similarly, Holden also has some relationship with Dina, while Martin is a single man who is only interested in cigarettes.

However, Dina was rather reserved, so Holden pursued her for a long time without success.

"Merry has a boyfriend, doesn't she? Holden, aren't you going to give up yet?"

Diana looked at Holden in surprise.

"You mean Roy Black? That guy's been missing for a year, who knows if he's still alive!"

Every year, America experiences a large number of missing persons, mostly homeless or unemployed individuals, and most of these people never return.

Holden was thinking the same thing; Merry was single, and he felt his chance had come.

"Fine, whatever you want. Anyway, you organized this trip."

Meanwhile, Mary and Claire had found the other people and explained the problem.

"Going to Black Lake? And there are boys there too?"

Jennifer instinctively wanted to refuse, because of some childhood experiences, she didn't want to get close to any men except Roy.

But then Mara spoke up.

"Actually, going to Black Lake is not a problem, as it's right on our route. We definitely can't go up the mountain today, but we can spend the night at Black Lake and go up the mountain the next day. The scenery at Black Lake is quite nice."

"Indeed, we can also fish and swim in Black Lake!"

Lanny and Mara, the two guides, were very professional and quickly came up with a new plan.

Hearing this, all the women except Jennifer were somewhat tempted.

"Let's go then! It won't take much time!"

Nidi offered Jennifer a word of advice.

"Yes! With so many of us here, nothing will happen!"

Jennifer couldn't refuse everyone, so she nodded in agreement.

So, the ten beautiful women even bought swimsuits, planning to have a good time at Black Lake.

This lineup stunned the three men on Dana and Julie's side, even Martin, who was only interested in cigarettes.

After all, the ten beauties here represent all types: mature women, married women, female college students...

This made Dana and Julie somewhat regretful.

The fact that the two of them would go on a road trip with other people means they must have something in mind.

Julie, in particular, originally wanted to play some special games, but she didn't expect that Mary's side was full of women, and all of them were great beauties. Now, the three men were simply not enough to go around.

Holden's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ten women traveling together?"

Martin exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Mary and Claire with surprise.

Claire crossed her arms, glared at Holden whose gaze was rather discordant, and pulled open her vest to reveal a handgun.

"Is there a problem? Do you think we're in danger?"

After a year of professional FEA training, Claire's combat capabilities have become extremely formidable. It is said that Saltana intends to have Claire join the FEA as a full-fledged agent after graduation, the kind who will eventually take over her position.

Upon seeing the pistol, Kurt and Holden's expressions immediately changed, while Martin remained grinning.

"Claire, when did you start handling guns? Are you planning to become a cop? Hahaha..."

Claire immediately drew her pistol, took a bullet from the magazine, and tossed it to Martin.

"Do you want to try it?"

Martin only realized these were real bullets when the metallic bullets hit him.

"A generous gift! It's true!"

Martin's good friend Kurt quickly put his arm around the other's neck.

"Idiot! Of course it's true! Have you gone mad from smoking?"

After this minor incident, everyone quickly bought the supplies, and then the two groups drove two RVs to Black Lake, a famous scenic spot in the Baishan Mountains.

After the RV drove away, the supermarket manager immediately went to a secret room to make a phone call.

"Hey, this is Hubble Town Supermarket. The target has already headed towards Black Lake."

"Oh? So you can arrive tonight?"

"Yes, but something unexpected happened; ten other people were also planning to go together."

"Really? No problem. Of course, the more offerings the better. Let's wrap up early; we might even catch the opening of the grand show tonight!"

"Hehehe! I wouldn't miss such a wonderful performance!"

With that, the supermarket manager hung up the phone and went out to greet the employees.

"I have something to do tonight and need to leave early, so let's wrap up work early today."

Supermarkets in these small towns don't have many rules, and the employees leave work quickly.

Then the supermarket manager drove away from the town in his own car, and if anyone had noticed his car, they would have seen that his route was the same as that of the two RVs.

On the other side, the person who received the call from the supermarket manager put down the phone and fell into deep thought.

But a deep voice interrupted the man's thoughts.

"Sitterson, what's your decision?"

The middle-aged man named Sitson was startled, and then he vaguely saw a person who looked like a toad, with red hair and beard, and brown skin.

That's right, this guy is Reed!
Red was truly a man of great spirit despite his physical disability. Although both of his hind limbs were broken, he successfully used the Seed of Silence to repair his body, then escaped from the Bay Area and crossed the North American continent to Maine.

"Damn it! Reed, you scared me half to death!"

“Sitterson, we don’t have much time left. We’d better take advantage of this sacrifice to resolve all the problems.”

“Reed, of course I want to too! But the organization is taking this sacrifice very seriously because all the sacrifices from other branches have failed, leaving only the sacrifices in North America and Japan! The organization even sent Mr. W here to supervise!”

"Is Mr. W here too?"

Mr. W was the one who succeeded Reed as the North American manager. Whenever Mr. W was mentioned, Reed would think of his secretary, Emera, who had betrayed him.

Well, Reed doesn't actually hate Mr. W; he mainly hates Amella, the traitor.

“Sitterson, I’ll take care of Mr. W. You just need to follow our plan.”

"If that's the case, everything will be fine! However, there have been some unexpected issues with this event, so perhaps our plans won't be necessary."

Sitson turned the laptop screen toward Reed, who immediately recognized several familiar figures on the screen.

"It was them?"

You should know what movie it is, right?
