The terrifying heavens inside the box

"Phew! Finally finished editing!"

In the studio, looking at the finished video file on the computer, with a total duration of 60 minutes and 52 seconds, Wang Hao let out a long sigh, picked up the coffee on the worktable, and downed it in one gulp.

In order to finish editing the novel "Sleepless Eternal Town" as soon as possible, he stayed up for three days and three nights, and overturned more than a dozen edited versions before finally settling on the current one.

"Next is voice-over... When I made short videos before, I could use my own voice and AI tools to get by."

"But now that we need to voice so many characters, and the voice acting needs to convey emotions and be human, we can only find professional voice actors."

"Once production is complete, we'll need to find platforms or distribution channels..."

Wang Hao had figured things out in his mind and was about to contact Chen Xiaoliang by phone when his gaze inadvertently fell on the box next to him.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The inside of the box was completely covered by a thick, gray fog, making it impossible to see anything inside.

"Outrageous! I haven't checked the box for three days, and it's already fogged up?"

He joked, and with a thought, the thick fog inside the box instantly dissipated, completely "emptying" it.

When the scene inside the box became clear again, Wang Hao carefully examined the building located in the very center.

"Hmm, this looks... like a supermarket?"

It's a typical supermarket + parking lot... and there's fog.

"Good heavens, isn't this the book 'The Mist'?!"

He subconsciously realized that he remembered this movie with an extremely depressing ending.

"Another new world?"

Wang Hao frowned.

I'm getting more and more confused. How exactly does this box conjure up a new world?

The previous few times were fine, mostly when the plot was just beginning.

Judging from the current situation, the plot of the world of "The Mist" has already begun, and may even be nearing its end.

It probably just popped up suddenly last night when I was staying up late.

At that time, "Sleepless Eternal Town" was being edited to a critical stage, and there was no time to look at the boxes!

"Oh, what a pity."

Otherwise, he might still have a chance to fulfill the tragic dream of a family reunion for this utterly miserable protagonist.

Now it seems that the male protagonist's wife is alone at home right now, and may have already died.

Those monsters in the mist are no pushovers!

Wang Hao shook his head and continued looking into the box, blurring the supermarket as he zoomed in.

And then I saw...

"Oh, why are there still people coming out? Aren't they afraid of dying?"

……

Food supermarket.

"Brent, is there really no way to persuade you to give up?"

David Drayton said, glancing at his Black lawyer neighbor in front of him.

Brent Norton chuckled silently. "David... there's nothing in the fog, absolutely nothing."

David recalled what had just happened: in the warehouse behind the supermarket, a terrifying tentacle covered in fangs and spikes had emerged from the mist and taken a young life.

He really didn't want to watch this cheap neighbor go out and die for nothing.

Despite previous conflicts between the two.

"What if you're wrong?"

"Well, I think..." Brent still had that skeptical attitude, "The joke has finally landed on me."

David shook his head and stepped back, picked up a piece of rope and handed it to a motorcyclist in the crowd who had volunteered to go out, so that he could tie it around his waist and see how far they could go.

Brent remained confident in his rational judgment, looking at the group of people who were willing to hide in the supermarket: "We'll call for rescue."

In his view, this statement was more like a donation from a sober person.

Until a madman interrupted Brent's thoughts.

"You will all die out there!"

Looking at this crazy, rambling woman, Brent didn't bother arguing with her, turned around, pushed open the supermarket door, and walked out.

He will use facts to prove just how ridiculous this crazy woman's curse and this group of locals who have banded together are!

Looking at the people following him out of the supermarket, Brent said to them:

"Alright, let's go! Let's head straight to the town center."

……

Meanwhile, outside the box.

Wang Hao looked at the group of people who were about to be wiped out as they walked out of the supermarket.

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of this overly rational and incredibly stupid lawyer.

But then I thought about the even more annoying guy in the supermarket.

This guy, whose mind is filled with nothing but rationality, might have a reason to live.

Watching the monster in the mist surge towards its impending prey, Wang Hao picked up the precision tweezers from the workbench…

……

Outside the supermarket, in the parking lot, Brent, leaning against a car, is now filled with deep regret.

Unexpectedly, there really was a monster inside the fog!

The people around were almost completely wiped out in an instant.

They were like a dish delivered to your door.

And now, he's going to die too!

Died like a joke.

His dark face was filled with tears and regret, and a self-deprecating smile played on his lips.

Brent! You're a complete idiot!

Faced with the menacing tentacles approaching, this elite Black lawyer working in the big city completely broke down.

However, just as he was about to be swept away by the hideous tentacles, two huge, sharp silver cones suddenly fell down.

Brent's mouth gaped open as he watched the two cones lift the enormous octopus-like creature high into the air.

He suddenly came to his senses and got up.

Upon seeing a half-dead body being dragged away by a rope not far away, he ran frantically towards it.

Finally, we caught them!

But some strange little monsters are still approaching from all around.

Brent, disregarding his disgust, quickly took the rope from the half-corpse, grabbed it, and ran away.

The monsters, whether carnivorous or scavenging, swarmed forward instantly, engulfing the half-corpse.

Brent, covered in blood, was pulled back into the supermarket by the rope.

Faced with pairs of eyes looking at him, he lowered his head and walked up to the kind neighbor who had tried to stop him.

"David, I, I..."

David sighed; things shouldn't have turned out this way.

But now so many people have died.

He reached out and patted Brent on the shoulder without saying anything.

Just then.

That annoying crazy woman jumped out again.

"See? I told you! This is the consequence of disobeying God's will."

As she spoke, she rushed in front of Brent. "How did you survive?"

"He wants you to live and continue to be punished, because the punishment is not over yet."

"Fuck! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Brent felt apologetic towards David and the others, but he felt absolutely no remorse towards this madwoman.

Those who immediately start spreading doomsday theories when faced with unknown situations are either mentally unstable or have malicious intentions, trying to take advantage of the situation to pull some tricks.

"I'm telling you, even if I came back because of God, it's not because of your God!"

"Unless your god is an alien!"

Brent looked up, his dark face gazing at the people inside the supermarket.

"I'm so sorry! Because I saw that monster David was talking about... a giant octopus with tentacles covered in spikes!"

"But that enormous monster was grabbed and lifted into the sky by two even larger metal constructs!"

Upon hearing this, the supermarket immediately erupted in chaos.

The group, who were initially skeptical of the monster, were suddenly thrown into an even more terrifying question.

Could this fog be caused by aliens?

Are aliens about to invade Earth? And they've even released a fog and monsters?

If that's the case, are they really safe staying in the supermarket right now?

For a time, people panic.
