Chapter 35: Chapter 35, Church of Divine Punishment _j

A bullet pierces through his neck, blood spattering.

The man attempts to retreat, but his body begins to collapse downwards.

He falls to the ground with a thud.

Still, his hand reaches into his chest, trying to pull something out.

Basen runs over quickly, kicks his head, making him pause.

Wu Heng steps forward and pulls the trigger at the man on the ground again. Bang Bang-!

Gunshots echo as the bullet pierces through his chest.

His body comes to a complete halt.

[Experience received +64]

The system prompt appears, certifying the enemy’s death.

Wu Heng instructs Basen to continue to keep a watchful eye on the surroundings.

After replacing the clips for both himself and Basen,

He collects the empty clips he’d just tossed onto the ground.

Glancing at the dead body, now seeping blood on the ground, he decides to forgo the idea of transporting the body to the Zombie World.

It’s uncertain what happened to Autruck and Cavina; moreover, if signs of a battle are found but no body, it could easily draw suspicion upon himself.

He rapidly runs over his thoughts, and quickly then begins to run forward with Basen.

Meanwhile, he wonders whether or not the guards outside have noticed the situation here.

If he doesn’t send out any signals, it’s possible that nobody would discover the situation here at all.

He abruptly stops and rapidly locates a window facing a flower bed.

Using the Grease Skill, he douses the flower bed, lights a rag on fire with a lighter, and tosses it in.

Whoosh-!

Instantly, fiery flames surge upward, illuminating the entire night sky.

He can’t believe that no one would notice this.

When they discover the fire, they’ll put it out and the professional association will come to investigate.

If this doesn’t attract the guards, it means that the entire Black Stone Town has fallen.

In such a case, he might as well return to the Zombie World.

When everything is done, Wu Heng continues running towards the direction of the hall.

The hall’s location.

Around Cavina, stand five people, each holding either a longsword or a dagger. Dressed differently, their teamwork is perfectly coordinated.

They’re surrounding and attacking Cavina.

In the shadows not far away, a figure clad in a black robe, a crow perched on its shoulder, silently watches.

Occasionally, it releases a blue energy spear, restricting Cavina’s movements. It’s like they’re toying with their prey.

Cavina’s condition isn’t good, she’s covered in blood, with numerous sword cuts all over her.

Her golden hair, under her helmet, clumps into scabs, sticking to her pale face. The longsword in her hand keeps swinging, battling each person around her. “My dear girl, you have some talent. Why not join us?” the man in the black robe calls out, his voice enchanting and mesmerizing.

Cavina pants, stumbles on her feet, utters a cold snort but offers no reply.

The robed man nods and pats the crow on his shoulder.

Caw~!

A piercing cry comes from the crow.

Cavina looks up subconsciously, only to find that the crow is staring back at her.

Its eyes, seeming to swallow her spirit like the abyss.

In the split second she is distracted, the others raise their swords to strike down at Cavina.

The swords are just about to descend,

Whoosh-!

Suddenly, a strong light shoots out from the distance, sweeping past their eyes. Before they can react, the deafening sound of gunfire is heard.

Bang Bang Bang!

The bullets pierce through the darkness, shooting towards them.

While none of them actually hit, the shooting momentarily intimidates them. Quickly retreating, they keep their distance.

In the darkness, Basen moves swiftly, charging into the crowd. He picks up the dazed Cavina and retreats into the shadows, disappearing from view.

Wu Heng breathes a sigh of relief.

Whoosh-!

The sound of flapping wings echoed.

In the residual glow of the flashlight, a Black Feathered Crow had already flown over his head.

Wu Heng, surprised, looked up unconsciously, gazing into the crow’s eyes. In an instant, the crow’s eyes expanded like a spreading abyss, and Wu Heng only felt dizzy, as if his soul had been devoured.

However, this feeling disappeared quickly, and his vision cleared once again. “What the hell!”

Wu Heng threw his flashlight at the crow’s head, catapulting it to the wall.

“Kill him!”

The man in the black cloak at a distance bellowed with rage.

Five people charged from the darkness.

As they drew closer, Wu Heng reversed his gun and pulled the trigger.

After setting Cavina down, Basen too pulled the trigger on his side. Bullets crisscrossed in the hall, and the charging five collapsed instantly.

The man in the distant black cloak panicked, turned around and tried to escape into the darkness.

Wu Heng cast his flashlight on him and pulled the trigger.

Basen also quickly followed, chasing after the target.

Bullets pierced through the darkness, penetrating the man in the black cloak.

[Gained experience +55.]

The man in the black cloak is dead.

After confirming that the target was killed, Wu Heng quickly reached Cavina’s side.

Body dyed with blood, with wounds big and small everywhere.

Being able to hold on till now under the siege of so many people, she was truly a tough one.

He took two potions out of his backpack, pried open Cavina’s mouth, and poured the ‘Healing Potion’ and ‘Detoxifying Potion’ directly into it.

Unsure which one would help. Above all, her life must be saved.

Pausing for a moment, he then opened a bottle of Spirit Potion and poured it in as well.

Cough, cough!

Cavina coughed violently, spitting out the potions that were poured into her mouth.

Then she opened her eyes, “What the…?”

“I was giving you some potions. Are you alright?”

“Nothing too serious.”

Wu Heng nodded, ” You rest a bit, help should be arriving soon. I’ll go check on the captain.”

No, we go together. There are stronger enemies over there.” Saying this, Cavina staggeringly stood up.

Stronger enemies?

Wu Heng now understood why Cavina didn’t run and chose to fight these many people.

If she had run away, the pressure on Autruck would have increased.

Wu Heng nodded, he didn’t plan to leave her here either.

It wasn’t clear if there were any more enemies, it was safer to stick together.

“Alright, let’s go!”

A pair of them and a skeleton moved swiftly through the corridor.

Boom, boom-!

From the darkness in the distance, heavy thumping sounds rang out. Turning a corner, they saw a tall figure fighting with their captain, Autruck. Hearing the footsteps behind him.

The pair quickly separated, both looking back.

Wu Heng and Cavina also stared at the enemy.

A muscular man, almost two meters tall, bare-armed with bulging muscles, fought bare-fisted without any weapons.

Captain Autruck seemed somewhat ragged now.

He was panting, his silver chest armour caved in, seemingly due to some hefty impact.

Seeing his two teammates arrive, a trace of joy flashed on Autruck’s face, “Have you called for backup?”

“They should be here soon.” Wu Heng replied.

No one knew whether the reinforcements were coming or not, at least they couldn’t admit to not knowing at this moment.

Autruck nodded, then continued, “Church of Divine Punishment’s elder Bawudong’ excels in hand-to-hand combat, he is incredibly strong and agile.” Holy crap!

The Church of Divine Punishment was here, while Black Stone Town’s main force was outside the town.
