Karin opened the lid of the iron bucket in her hand and flicked a pebble into the air.

Taking advantage of the brief moment of airtime, Karin splashed the whale oil from the bucket onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the ground in the middle of the street was covered with a thick layer of whale oil.

Having dodged an attack from a parasitic zombie, Karin looked at the horde of zombies that had entered the neighborhood, took out a flint from her pocket, and lit the iron barrel.

Having pinpointed the enemy's location, Karin threw the burning iron barrel to the ground. In an instant, a raging fire erupted.

The debris, carriages, ruins, and even the burning parasitic corpses on the street became catalysts for the fire to spread, turning the entire street into a blazing inferno in moments.

Having completed all this, Karin teleported to the rooftop. She watched the horde of zombies rushing towards them, entering the flames like moths to a flame, before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Karin inadvertently touched her chest, and suddenly her face turned deathly pale. She cried out in alarm, "Wait! My pendant!"

Recalling what had just happened, Karin suddenly remembered the fight in the tavern.

When the parasitic sphere attacked, she fell to the ground, and the pendant in her mouth must have been lost at that time.

Karin glanced down; the tavern she remembered was now engulfed in flames.

Should I jump down now to find the pendant, or turn around and leave?

Karin made the choice almost instinctively.

She leaped off the roof and plunged into the sea of ​​fire.

Blazing flames, scorching floor, and thick black smoke enveloped Karin as she entered the tavern, immediately surrounded by intense heat and smoke.

She covered her mouth and nose with the corner of her clothes while kneeling on the ground and groping around with her hands.

Flames scorched her hair, the intense heat seared her skin, and the smell of burning flesh filled Karin's nostrils, but none of this could stop her.

During her long search, Karin finally found a rope with a pendant attached.

When Karin held the pendant up to her eyes, her eyes widened, and she hugged it tightly, laughing happily.

The pendant was a translucent crystal that refracted a rainbow of colors when held up to the sunlight.

"Kalin, listen carefully, this is the lens of a microscope. With it, I can magnify things 100 or even 1000 times, so I can see many things that I couldn't see before."

A voice from the depths of her memory soothed Karin's body like a gentle breeze.

The pain from the burning flames and the fear from the horde of corpses outside the door were insignificant compared to this small happiness.

Karin felt her body growing heavier and heavier. She placed the pendant in front of her chest, clasped her hands together to protect it, and let the flames slowly engulf her body. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes.

In the firelight, Karin seemed to see a huge shadow that extinguished the flames, drove away the enemies, and led her into a pure white paradise.
