The others didn't seem to notice Wang's strange behavior, instead focusing on the corpse before them.

　　"Great, didn't expect to find the body so soon." Chi praised Lin's luck, "I thought we were going to spend the night out here."

　　"Let's go, get the body back." Cheng calmed down a little upon seeing the body.

　　He spat on the ground, glaring fiercely at Wang, "Lucky you."

　　Wang showed a look of fear and tried to hide behind Lin.

　　This time, Lin didn't let her do so.

　　 He grabbed Wang's wrist, saying, "Don't be afraid of him, we're here. Cheng, are you sick? Why are you scaring the girl?"

　　Cheng said, "She's not a human, I saw it all!"

　　He seemed to be a bit mentally unstable, his emotions were always agitated.

　　But after being reprimanded by Lin, he at least stopped threatening Wang, instead, lowering his head and working with Chi to dig the body out of the snow pit.

　　The corpse had been frozen in the snow for a few days and remained the same, even the broken part of the waist and abdomen could clearly see the internal organs and spine, making one's scalp tingle.

　　If this were when Lin first arrived in this world, seeing this scene might have made him want to vomit.

　　But after these few days of training, Lin now saw the corpse with no inner fluctuations, even wanting to study it further.

　　"How do we get it back?" Xiao asked, "Carry it?"

　　"Drag it back." Chi said, "Though it's not respectful to the deceased, it's better than having two more living people die."

　　If this were the real world, carrying a dead person might be nothing, but the world within the gate was too bizarre.

　　Who knows if the dead person on your back would suddenly come alive?

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

　　"Okay." Lin agreed.

　　So, they used ropes to tie up the body, then placed the wooden boards they had brought on the body, making a makeshift sled for easy dragging on the snow.

　　"Let's go." After they finished, Chi and Lin each pulled one side, dragging the body along the path.

　　The girls walked in front, Lin pulled while keeping an eye on Wang.

　　He had intentionally grabbed Wang's wrist just now, feeling nothing unusual.

　　The human temperature and skin texture were normal.

　　 Could it have been his illusion in the forest?

　　No... Lin immediately denied his own doubts.

　　 In this world, even illusions should be taken seriously.

　　After all, one wrong step, and you might lose your life.

　　They walked forward, with Ruan following Lin closely.

　　She whispered, "Did you see something?"

　　Lin said, "Two shadows."

　　Ruan nodded knowingly.

　　Lin asked, "Were they human?"

　　Ruan chuckled lightly at his question, "Should I just say they're human because you ask? Why do you believe me so much?"

　　Lin thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because you're pretty?"

　　Ruan: "I love to hear that." She paused, then added, "Not too sure, but most likely human, but don't relax. Even though the main body is human, who knows what strange things they might bring with them."

　　Lin felt it made sense.

　　The mountain path was narrow, but thankfully the body wasn't too heavy.

　　They all felt a sense of relief when they left the mountain path.

　　At least nothing strange happened on the way.

　　"Let's hurry back." Chi looked at the sky with a worried expression, "It's almost completely dark."

　　"Yeah." Lin replied.

　　As night fell, the entire village fell into a deathly silence.

　　The sound of snowflakes falling only made the surrounding area feel more tranquil.

　　As everyone continued forward, Wang, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a violent coughing fit.

　　She seemed to be choked by something, her body bent over.

　　"Wang, are you alright?" Xiao, standing beside her, asked.

　　Wang didn't speak, just lightly waved her hand to indicate she was fine.

　　But the next moment, Cheng, who had already calmed down, suddenly exploded, grabbed the iron shovel in his hand, and lunged toward Wang, ready to strike.

　　"What are you doing!" Lin quickly stopped Cheng, shouting, "Cheng, are you crazy!"

　　Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, like a madman with no reason left, his voice hoarse as he yelled, "She's a monster!! Don't stop me!!"

　　Wang coughed even harder, she half-knelt on the ground, the violent coughing even started to make her vomit uncontrollably.

　　Xiao was close to her, and when she saw what she was vomiting, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

　　Lin turned around and saw that Wang's mouth was filled with black hair.

　　She was clutching her neck, her face contorted in pain.

　　The black hair poured out of her mouth, wriggling on the ground as if alive.

　　"I'm going to kill her!! Or she will kill us!!" Cheng had completely lost control.

　　The strength that a person can unleash under pressure is terrifying.

　　In a moment, he forcibly threw Lin away.

　　 Lin fell hard to the ground, unable to stop Cheng as he swung the iron shovel, bringing it down on Wang's head.
