The corpse's claws tightened rapidly, cutting through the flesh and tendons and directly touching the bones.

The corpse behind her also stretched out its sharp claws to grab her face, easily cutting her already delicate cheek.

As the claws appeared before her eyes, the despair of falling into the abyss completely enveloped Lime.

"Mm, I didn't even see the sun the next day, and I'm going to die in such a melodramatic way. Am I really the protagonist?"

With countless questions in her mind, Shihui closed her eyes, ready to face death, a tear mixed with blood slid down her cheek.

The corpse opened its strange giant mouth, and something inside it bloomed irregularly like a blooming flower of flesh and blood.

In this almost fatal situation, a ray of morning light broke through the clouds and shone directly, and the stone statue of the Virgin Mary on the church seemed to be illuminated by holy light.

"Roar!!!"

The two corpses were engulfed in black flames the moment they came into contact with the sun.

They let go of the lime and quickly jumped off the church roof, running into the forest at an incredible speed.

“Alive...survived..."

Lime, who collapsed on the roof of the church, covered her eyes and cried silently. She really couldn't understand what evil things she had done to deserve to be transported to this rough world and suffer.

How come there is no system, no invincible cultivation? !

Her fair face was left with horrific scratches from the zombies, and her right hand holding the gun was bleeding uncontrollably.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she was crying out of grievance or pain.

'Vulnera Sanentur Quick Healing'

As if to comfort the desperate Lime, new magic appeared in her mind, and this time it was healing magic.

Having felt wronged enough, Shi Hui forced himself to sit up despite the pain that nearly broke his body. He could only whisper a spell:

"Vulnera Sanentur Quick Healing"

"call out!"

A ray of soft green light covered the girl's whole body, and the originally shocking wound on her face quickly healed again.

As the green light passed by, not even a scar was left, and the arm, where the bones were almost visible, quickly grew new flesh and blood.

In just a few breaths, the injured area was completely healed, and even the tiredness and soreness caused by excessive exercise completely disappeared.

Gently stroking his previously injured cheek and looking at his arm that had recovered as before, Shihui didn't know whether he should be happy or sad for a moment.

At the same time, she had doubts in her mind. This time, the zombies were more terrifying than the ones she had encountered in the forest before.

It looked like a Cthulhu monster, with a torn mouth full of densely packed teeth, and its appearance was very different from the hand-drawn ghoul.

“Survived!!!”

Many people rushed out of the church below one after another, crying with joy and kneeling on the ground to thank God for his blessing.

The girl with short golden hair walked out of the church and kept looking around, her eyes constantly sweeping around the outside of the church.

Anne in her arms was also searching, and finally Aulay saw Lime half-sitting on the roof.

She waved happily, "Ms. Hilde! I'm so glad you're okay!"

Hearing Ole's cry, the people around looked in the direction she was looking, and sure enough, a silver-haired girl like a dream doll was sitting on the eaves.

Shishi forced a smile and walked down from the church roof along the external stairs built on the left side of the church door.

Anne broke away from Oleya's arms, quickly rushed towards the lime in the distance, threw herself into her arms, and kept rubbing her little head against the lime.

"Sister Hilde, I was so worried about you. I was scared to death when I heard the gunshots on the roof..."

Everyone nodded silently. When they heard the roar and gunshots from the monster on the roof, even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they knew how dangerous it would be!

Looking at the aggrieved and cute little Loli in his arms, Shi Hui smiled, rubbed her little head and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."

After saying this, Shihui himself began to doubt why he was still so stubborn.

In the end, she blamed the problem on the fact that the world was too painful.

Lime took Annie's hand and walked to Enzo, asking, "How far is this place from the evacuation point?"

"Hmm? Why does it feel like there are a few people missing?"

Enzo sighed. For a tough guy with a rough face, a look of sadness was rare on his face. He responded:

"Two of our brothers died, and three villagers died. Fortunately, the casualties were not too serious."

When he said this, his tone was obviously wrong. Was it resentment, anger, or even accusation?

Enzo was not blaming the lime, but blaming his own incompetence.

Miss Hilde clearly risked her life to minimize the danger and faced so many zombies alone, but what about the rest of them?

He almost suffered heavy casualties when facing two zombies. If the sun had not risen early, he would have been killed to the point of being completely wiped out!

This was a dereliction of duty as the leader. If he had been more cautious, the zombies would not have rushed into the church!

Thinking of this, he clenched the crossbow in his hand, took a deep breath, and his complexion recovered. He continued:

"It takes about half an hour to walk from here to the evacuation point. It's a gravel road in the northeast. The closest place to us is Luther City. It will probably take about a week to return to Wangdu..."

"So they and I are from the capital. It seems the previous owner of this body was quite powerful. Could it be that he hired them?"

This idea suddenly popped up in Shili's head. She felt a little embarrassed, but still asked tentatively: "What about the commission..."

Enzo immediately spoke: "This time, thanks to you, Miss Hilde. Without you, we would have died long ago. If you are willing, just pay us half of the commission..."

Shi Hui confirmed this idea in his heart. These should be the hunters he hired on a semi-employed basis after taking on the task from the Witcher's Guild.

But I don’t even know where the previous owner of this body put the money!!!

How will I settle the balance with them then?!

Thinking of this, Shihui felt overwhelmed. He didn't have a single coin on him, so how could he pay?

But she still coughed lightly and said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, I will give you the original price. As for your deceased brothers, I will give a little more money to their families!"

Enzo was touched by Shihui's words. He bowed deeply to her and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Miss Hilde. We will definitely ensure your safe entry into the city!"

Enzo arranged the rest of the journey very carefully, with the hunters leading the way.

Shihui, Annie, and Olei were at the core of the team, followed by the villagers, and at the very end were the two witchers.

Along the way, they followed the villagers' instructions and walked on a more remote road, perfectly avoiding the cultists.

They happened to see a few zombie hounds and zombies on the road, but they were all easily dealt with.

But Shi Hui was filled with shock. The evil cult and the Cthulhu monsters were fine, but now even zombies had appeared. What on earth was going on in this world?!

Soon they saw a gravel road, which was not far from the village and was surrounded by a circle of white powder of unknown origin.

Shime carried Annie into the carriage. After arranging the villagers, several witchers also got on their horses and drove the carriage through the white circle at full speed.

The carriage moved slowly along the winding forest path. Occasionally, mottled light and shadows could be seen projected on the ruts through the leaves, as if they were from the embrace of the scorching sun.

The breeze carries not only the fragrance of grass and soil, but also a faint floral scent, which is the scent emitted by wild lily of the valley under the sunlight.

As the carriage moved farther and farther away, Shihui's tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment.

She lowered her witch hat to block out the sunlight and fell asleep next to Oleya, as if everything was just a nightmare.
