"Bang..." A crisp gunshot rang out, and a burst of blood appeared on the head nun's chest as she collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Ah..." Several nuns were also startled by the sudden gunshot and screamed.
"He really shot!" Ah Fang and Qiu Sheng's legs trembled slightly. They never expected that the security captain would actually shoot and kill the nun. They didn't dare to play any tricks anymore, otherwise they would be killed and have no one to complain to.
"Dean." After the shock, the four young nuns looked at the head nun's body, their hearts filled with grief, and they lay prostrate on the body, weeping bitterly.
"Blame yourself for being out of touch with reality and unaware of the consequences. As a Chinese person, spreading Western Christianity on Chinese soil, you've chosen to die, wanting to perish along with the church." The security captain thought to himself, looking at the superintendent lying in a pool of blood and the four weeping nuns. He holstered his pistol and turned to order his soldiers, "Carry her body into the church and burn it. Let her perish with the church."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, several soldiers quickly stepped forward to pull the weeping nun away and carried the abbess's body into the church. Some soldiers swiftly brought kerosene, brought dry wood, and even cut down some trees to fill the church.
"Whoosh..." As the torch was thrown into the church, which was filled with wood and doused with kerosene, a raging fire immediately broke out, quickly filling the space inside the church and engulfing the outside as well.
"The church... the abbess..." Looking at the church engulfed in flames, several young nuns collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. The church was gone, the abbess was dead; what would become of them now?
Qiu Sheng and A Fang were at a loss for what to do.
…………
"Fall back."
After the fire burned for a while, seeing that it was beyond extinguishing, the security captain gave a loud order and left with his soldiers. He didn't bother with Qiu Sheng and the four young nuns. His mission was to burn down the church and kill those who resolutely protected it; he didn't need to worry about anything else, nor could he cause any unnecessary trouble or make a scene.
Watching the security captain and soldiers leave, Ah Fang and Qiu Sheng both breathed a sigh of relief. The security captain did not detain them as he had said.
"From now on, please stay with us!" After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Sheng stepped forward and whispered to the several weeping and bewildered nuns. The head nun's death was also related to them, because the little zombie had brought the explosives. If it weren't for the little zombie bringing the explosives and causing the explosion, the head nun wouldn't have been executed on the spot for possessing explosives. Now, the nuns were left without care and homeless; if they didn't do something, their consciences would be uneasy.

in the forest.
"Gunshots..." Uncle Nine, who had been chasing the foreign zombie in, was startled by the gunshots coming from the direction of the church. He was deeply worried about the safety of Qiu Sheng and the others. Unfortunately, he had already caught up with the foreign zombie and was entangled with it. The little zombie was also in the forest. He couldn't leave the little zombie alone in the forest, nor did he dare to take it out. He could only grit his teeth and continue to fight the foreign zombie, hoping to finish it off as soon as possible and return to the church.
Count Los and his daughter, who had just made their way through the forest, saw the battered and bruised foreign zombie struggling with Uncle Nine and said anxiously, "Daughter, we have to hurry and take down that traitor. Otherwise, if he is killed by that Taoist priest or beaten to a pulp, we won't be able to give him to Master Gao to present to our master."
"I'll deal with the traitor, you find a way to keep the Taoist priest occupied," Count Los said, and immediately rushed out.
Count Screw's daughter immediately rushed towards Uncle Nine.
Uncle Nine, who was locked in a fierce battle with the foreign zombie, felt a sudden jolt of danger coming from behind him, sending chills down his spine.
Without thinking, Uncle Nine immediately slapped the foreign zombie hard, using its strength to retreat four or five meters.
"Pfft pfft pfft..." Just as Uncle Nine dodged, dark red blood beads flew past his original spot, shooting into the trunk of the big tree next to him like bullets, stirring up wood chips.
Two figures, one large and one small, shrouded in black robes, appeared between the foreign zombie and Uncle Nine, blocking their path. Dark red gas billowed within the black robes; clearly, they were the ones who had just attacked Uncle Nine.
"Alice, Earl Los." Upon seeing the two appear, the foreign zombie's pupils contracted, and its gaze involuntarily swept around.
Seeing the foreign zombie's wandering gaze, Count Los didn't say anything more and immediately rushed towards it. In his hand, a dark red whip had already formed, and he whipped it towards the foreign zombie.
Seeing this, Uncle Nine looked warily at the short, black-robed man blocking his way and took a step back.
Seeing this, the Earl's daughter, Alice, did not stop Uncle Nine and let him leave. Their purpose was only to burn down the church and capture the foreign zombie; they did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
'It seems their target is only the foreign zombie.' Seeing this, Uncle Nine breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly stepped aside, picked up the little zombie, and prepared to slowly retreat from the forest.
"This little zombie is quite special. How about we keep it?" Upon seeing the little zombie, Alice immediately recognized its uniqueness and spoke to Uncle Nine, taking a step forward. She believed that receiving an extra special gift would surely please the owner, and perhaps even make them remember the Los family's name.
"Who are you people?" Uncle Nine asked, holding the little zombie.
“The Los family,” Alice said. “We’ve come to capture the traitor from this family.”
"What do you want the little zombie for?" Uncle Nine asked.
“That’s not something you can know,” Alice said.
"Daughter, we've caught the traitor. Let's go." Just then, Count Los also captured the foreign zombie, its body bound tightly by dark red energy. (It's not that Uncle Nine isn't strong; he simply lacks the means to deal with it.)
“Father, that little zombie is very special,” Alice said to Earl Los, pointing at the little zombie, her meaning clear.
“It is indeed very special.” Upon hearing this, Earl Los took a closer look at the little zombie. He then looked at the foreign zombie, hesitated for a moment, and said, “However, our main task is to capture this traitor. Let’s not create any unnecessary complications, lest the traitor escape. Let’s go. Besides, even if we are valued now, our family has declined and may not be able to afford the tasks that come with being valued. Let’s take it one step at a time.”
"Yes." Alice glanced at the little zombie with some regret, then followed Earl Los and quickly flew deeper into the forest.
'The Los family—this foreign zombie is a traitor to the Los family. Behind them is an even more powerful force. Wang Han is also researching zombies; could he be connected to this force?' Watching the two figures leave, Uncle Nine frowned. He seemed to have come into contact with some terrifying forces.
