  It was almost an instinctive reaction, Zhao Zhus calf muscles tensed up quickly at this time, and then the whole person leaned back and did a movement similar to a backflip.

  It was also because of this overreaction that he didnt land on his feet, but instead knelt down with both hands supporting himself on the ground tiles. A large tear appeared in Zhao Zhus white coat, which had been ripped open by a zombies claws. If he had reacted any slower, it would have likely ended up as a fatal gut wound.

  A loud shout rang out, and Chen Hongs figure appeared beside Zhao Zhu. She quickly moved forward, treading in a special pace.

  The female zombie swung her arms wildly, trying to grab Chen Hong, but Chen Hongs footsteps always landed in areas that the female zombie couldnt reach due to her stiff body. After several rounds of circling each other, the female zombie still couldnt touch Chen Hong.

  Then, Chen Hong aimed at a gap and quickly moved forward, using her shoulder to knock down the female zombie. At the same time, she held a talisman in her hand and stuck it onto the female zombies forehead with lightning speed.

  When the talisman was stuck to the zombies forehead, a red light flashed immediately, and the zombie also remained motionless at this time, as if it had been cast with a petrification spell.

  Chen Hong also let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the talismans I exchanged can still suppress zombies of this level."

  "Exchange?"

  "Wait until this task is over and Ill tell you in detail, now find some ropes to tie up the zombies ankles and fix some key points on her body. Although the talisman has subdued her for now, we still need to be prepared for any unexpected accidents."

  Zhao Zhu nodded, dialed his own phone and searched for it in the Yi Zhuang, and indeed found a bundle of hemp rope in a corner. He took it out and first tied several circles around the ankle of the female zombie, then tied her knee joint and shoulder joint each with one circle.

  The female zombie stared blankly ahead, devoid of any vitality, but as one approached her, a pungent stench could be smelled, especially around the female zombies mouth, the smell was almost enough to knock someone out.

  After tying up, Zhao Zhuo also made a few simple pulley traps at several positions along the beam with ropes.

  Chen Hong was still leaning against the side of a coffin, quietly watching Zhao Zhu do these things. When Zhao Zhu sat back down this way, Chen Hong proactively handed over a cigarette and lighter.

  "Its okay, I dont smoke anyway."

  Zhao Zhu refused Chen Hongs cigarette, and Chen Hong hummed a tune at the tip of his nose, lit one for himself, and the cigarette head flickered on and off.

  "You keep watch, Ill rest first," said Chen Hong, closing her eyes afterwards.

  Zhao Zhu slightly moved his neck, took out his phone, but at this time there was no signal, and the phone was almost out of power. Zhao Zhu had to put the phone back, scanning the surroundings with his eyes while listening for any slight movement with his ears.

  This is also helpless, a coffin has already been robbed of its corpse, heaven knows if the corpses in other coffins will also "stir" up?

  It was probably over an hour, Chen Hong was still asleep, Zhao Zhus spirit was still okay, but he couldnt help feeling a bit tired from being fully focused on observing the surroundings. Unconsciously, Zhao Zhu let out a yawn, his head slightly raised, just then, a cat meowed:

  Meow~~~~~

  The meow of the cat was very light and faint, Zhao Zhus gaze happened to fall on the rafter above, a black cat was staring at him at this moment, for a while, a deep sense of fatigue came over him, this fatigue came too quickly and too strongly, Zhao Zhu was completely overwhelmed.

  ……

  "Knock knock knock", a crisp knocking sound came, Zhao Zhu opened his eyes and found himself lying on the office desk.

  Before she could respond, the door swung open by itself and Zhao Mei Fen walked in with a charming smile.

  "Enemy, miss me?"

  Zhao Zhu was somewhat bewildered and shook his head, feeling that something was not quite right. Could it be that everything he had experienced earlier was just a dream? Was "The Horror Web Novel", the zombies, and Chen Hong all just illusions?

  "Hey, whats on your mind? This is a hospital, why do you look so distracted?"

  Zhao Meifen directly sat on Zhao Zhus leg, and with a flirtatious movement, she rubbed her soft buttocks against his body.

  Yes, this is a hospital, its a hospital, not a charity house, not some crappy mission world.

  Zhao Zhu smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He then bent down and kissed Zhao Mei Fen twice, saying with a smile:

  "Thats right, this is a hospital, but dont you think that your subconscious hints and guidance are a bit too simple and low-level?"

  "What? This is really a hospital?" Zhao Meifens face showed a puzzled expression.

  "Although I dont want to admit it, the fact is that Im still in that Horror Web Novel world, and you, and this office, are things I saw after being hypnotized. So, I have to wake up, Meifen, sorry."

  Zhao Zhus two hands tightly grasped Zhao Mei Fens neck, and Zhao Mei Fen struggled desperately. At first, she let out a human cry of pain, but soon it turned into the wailing of a cat, a mournful and piercing meow.

  A severe pain shot through his head, and Zhao Zhu suddenly became wide awake. He opened his eyes to find himself leaning against the side of a coffin, with a black cat lying in his arms. However, the black cat was already dead, and his hands were around its neck, almost as if he had strangled it.

  Zhao Zhu stretched out his hand and pushed Chen Hong, who was also sleeping lightly. With one push, she woke up, and the first thing she did after waking up was to scan her surroundings with sharp eyes. Then she saw the dead cat in Zhao Zhus arms.

  "Its actually come out with this kind of thing on the first day."

  "Can you explain what this thing is?"

  "This is a yin evil spirit, attached to the cats body. Normally it would play tricks on you and make you daydream, but surprisingly, it couldnt mesmerize you, your mind is quite firm."

  "I studied psychology and also use hypnosis when treating patients."

  "Oh, so it was this thing that made a big show in front of you."

  On the other end, the female zombie with a symbol stuck on her forehead remained motionless.

  Chen Hong stretched and said to Zhao Zhu beside her, "Alright, Ill keep watch, you sleep."

  Zhao Zhu didnt hesitate either, lowering his body a bit and leaning against the coffin, then closing his eyes to start sleeping, he was indeed somewhat tired.

  ……

  My eyes feel a slight stinging sensation, and when I open them, the sunlight is shining directly on my face. Zhao Zhu stretches out his hand to block the light, gets up with some difficulty, and walks unsteadily. Having sat like this for a whole night, his legs have gone numb.

  A faint scent wafted in, it was outside the Yi Zhuang, when Zhao Zhu walked to the door, he just saw Chen Hong carrying two sea bowls walking in, seeing that Zhao Zhu was already awake, Ju handed over a sea bowl and said:

  "The whole village was as poor as a bag of rice, I cooked some porridge."

  Zhao Zhuo thanked and took over the sea bowl, his eyes scanning the position where the female zombie stood yesterday, only to find that there was only a black mark left on the spot.

  "When the sunlight comes in in the morning, it turns into ash by itself." Chen Hong said.

  "Are we still going to stay here today?"

  "It depends on the plot then. If theres no hint of a plot, well just stay here and continue eating that bag of rice which should last us for several days."

  "Whats the plot hint?"

  "Uh, to put it simply, its like when you read a book, the protagonists actions and behavior are all driven by the various supporting characters and changes in circumstances around them. To illustrate this further, when you play an online game and complete a task, wont an NPC immediately come over to chat with you and lead you to your next task?"

  We are in the world of "Horror Web Novel", so there will be clues like this to guide you, to let you know what to do and how to do it. If you dont follow its prompts or some unwritten rules, youll face all sorts of unexpected surprises; of course, even if you follow its prompts, youll still encounter unexpected surprises, but theyll be easier to deal with than the former.

  Zhao Zhu nodded thoughtfully and leaned against the door, sipping his porridge. Before he had finished a bowl of porridge, an old woman walked in, carrying a basket and leaning on a walking stick.

  "Red child, cast child, you quickly go to the village west head back mountain land temple there to take a look, heard that someone died there, ah, evil deed, you quickly go and bring the corpse back, cant just leave it overnight for wild dogs to drag away."

  At this time, a voice sounded in Zhao Zhus mind:

  Branch mission released: Go to the west entrance of the village and transport the body back to Yizhuang Temple, reward 300 points voucher upon completion.

  The old woman finished speaking, wiped away her tears and left. Chen Hong gathered some things, found a rope and a wooden board similar to a half-door panel, and shouted to Zhao Zhu:

  "Youve also received the side quest, lets go, were heading to the Earth Temple."

  "Are side quests optional and can be selectively done?"

  "Thats right, the main quest is a must-complete task, side quests you dont have to do if you dont want to, but Im going to do them, and later on youll understand the importance of points coupons, I wont give up any chance to get points coupons."

  "Alright, lets go." Zhao Zhu picked up the wooden board and followed Chen Hong out of the gate of Yi Zhuang.

  ……

  The temple behind the west village mountain is a very desolate place. The temple itself has also been in disrepair for a long time, and the mud statue of the Land God has already collapsed by half.

  However, after circling around the temple twice, Zhao Zhu and Chen Hong still couldnt find the body.

  "Where is the body?" Chen Hong pursed her lips. "Since the branch mission has been released, there wont be any mistakes."

  "Theres a possibility that the corpse hid itself before we came in." Zhao Zhu took a deep breath, "I can still smell that faint stench of death."

  "But its daytime here, zombies are afraid of sunlight." Chen Hong retorted.

  "So, just find a spot in this temple where sunlight cant get through..."

  As they spoke, Zhao Zhu and Chen Hong simultaneously lifted their heads and looked towards the top of the beam of the Land Temple.
