"Set the mountain on fire."
"Wait, there are still many people who have been captured on that mountain!" Upon hearing Kerry's words, Kazuma waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that this was unacceptable.
"It's alright, I have another plan!"
Kerry got out of the car and picked up a slightly twisted stick.
This is the stick that Jingxing dropped, that battered steel staff.
Then Kerry opened the trunk and took out a box of things.
Kazuma also got out of the car out of curiosity to take a look.
"what is this?"
"It must be a prop they used to prepare for that Buddhist ceremony."
Kazuma watched as Kerry pierced the cardboard box with his finger and violently tore open the packaging. Inside, four neatly arranged items lay. Kazuma paused for a second to react before standing up.
"Are these fireworks?"
“Yes, they might be planning to hold the Spring Festival at Matsushita on the day of that Buddhist ceremony.” Kerry nodded in confirmation of Kazuma’s guess, and then whispered the plan in Kazuma’s ear.
...
ten minutes later.
Qi Ren and his men walked down the mountain, looking around but seeing no one at all.
While they were worrying and wondering why people kept going up the mountain, they had no idea where to begin and could only try heading towards the village.
As soon as their gaze left the dense shade of the trees, the group froze. Their familiar and beautiful new village had been turned into a sea of fire. The area near the village entrance was still okay, but the side near the mountain was completely engulfed in flames.
"what?!"
Especially the younger brothers, they were all villagers, but they usually worked in the mountains. Moreover, many of them only had some relatives who escaped up the mountain with Jingxin, while the rest were hiding in the villages at the foot of the mountain from that madman from last night.
In their minds, it shouldn't be a big deal; it's just a crazy person who won't die in the village. Everyone should close their doors and wait until nightfall so that the crazy person will realize his mistake.
To everyone's surprise, their hometown was de-infected in just a short time.
Thick smoke billowed into the air, almost obscuring the weather, like a grinning black demon swaying in the sky.
Originally born and raised here, every household remembers whose house was engulfed in flames, and the sound of wooden buildings collapsing and falling from time to time can be heard.
In that black and red painting, the people couldn't see their village at all; all they saw was a hellish scene.
It's like the way those people who were sold to them and transported up the mountain used to look at this village.
"Didn't Master Jingxin say... that it's dangerous for just one person to be holding a gun and killing someone?"
"No! No! There are still about a hundred people in the village!"
One of them, his face contorted with hatred, punched himself in the thigh, tears streaming down his face.
"Find that person! I must kill that monster!"
Qi, who had no relatives in the village, showed no reaction whatsoever when he saw this scene.
He just pursed his lips. The village's call for help had probably already reached that old man Yamada, yet he didn't send them. Instead, he sent them down now because of some strange little thing.
He also instructed them not to get into a fight with the attacker in the village, and to come back as soon as they were sure they were safe.
That old devil, just how afraid is he of his secret being exposed? I guess the reason he's not going all out to capture the attacker is because he's aware that the attacker can communicate and probably won't go to the Metropolitan Police Department to expose what's going on here. Rather than that, it's better to let him clean up the people in the village.
I bet that old ghost is frantically calling the forestry department right now. After all, the fire is so big that even satellites can probably see it. He doesn't dare let the fire brigade into the village. If they run into that indestructible madman, things will get really bad. Suppressing such a big problem will give him a headache.
The Qi people knew that, in fact, ever since the business developed and branches were established in various places, that old devil Yamada had long since stopped wanting to work with these villagers.
Now that he has money, he can do the same things the villagers can do by paying someone else. However, the villagers want a share of his precious food. It's just that the villagers were his base before. If he were to propose reducing the number of people or killing villagers who have turned into ghouls, there would probably be a lot of trouble.
He would prefer a group of people who know nothing about the true nature of the Shiki, but only that a powerful figure lives inside and needs to be protected.
"Alright, let's walk around."
Ignoring whether his subordinates were grieving, the Qi man simply said something.
At that very sound, the people below immediately fell silent and began looking around in confusion, searching for anything unusual.
The group split up slightly and looked towards the village, but they couldn't see anything just by looking, so they continued forward.
After all, it can't be that immortal people will periodically grow on the ground and give birth to one every now and then, so we have to go up the mountain and take their dog lives, right?
As they were leaving the woods, a sudden loud noise drew their attention.
It's fireworks!
"Bang!" Looking at the fireworks exploding in broad daylight, the group was puzzled, as the fireworks were quite far away. However, the leader, Qi, still frowned.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Meanwhile, Kerry had already quietly followed the information given by Kazuma and crept up the mountain from the bushes.
That's right, this was one of Kerry's little plans. First, he would make sure all the usable cars around were damaged. Then, he would drive to a more distant place with Kazuma and leave Kazuma there to light fireworks to try and lure people away. After that, Kerry would drive the car to the foot of the mountain, park it, and sneak up from another place.
Whether or not people actually walk this step is irrelevant; all that matters is attracting their attention, because the next step is for Kazuma to commit suicide and be resurrected directly from the confirmed blind spot of the surveillance.
Of course, most importantly, if they succeed, after Kazuma scouted the area several times and found that there were no Kree traps scattered all over the mountains, they would spawn directly at their home with pistols and bullets when their main combat force that they knew could send out was outside!

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Moment of Counterattack
He opened his eyes again, his eyes wide with fury.
Kazuma has already appeared on the mountain.
"How is it?" Kerry asked Kazuma.
"They got right in front of me, and that monster was as fast as ever. I almost didn't have time to kill myself."
Kazuma's statement is not entirely accurate; in fact, he simply didn't have time to make the move.
Even after dying so many times, the thought of stabbing himself with a knife still made him hesitate.
With just one moment of hesitation, he almost got caught in close combat by that Flying Sword Style again.
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth at the last moment and managed to avoid being cut off, bandaged up, and dragged back.
"it is good!"
Upon hearing that this could lure people away, Kerry nodded and handed a gun to Kazuma.
"Once we're inside, we won't need to conserve bullets."
With that, Kerry charged forward, gun in one hand!
A single shot shattered the lock on the door that couldn't be opened from that side. He then inserted his fingernail into the keyhole and forcefully hooked it open. The door, which looked to have been built for quite some time, opened instantly, and a gasp of surprise came from inside!
"What happened? Didn't the leader of the Qi people go down the mountain to look for someone?"
Several men, who had been holding guns because they had discovered someone on the security camera, stared blankly at the open door, while Kerry pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang! Bang!"
"boom!"
Two gunshots rang out, and the two men who had just raised their guns while sitting in front of the monitor fell to the ground.
Kerry half-knelt and quickly stood up again, not even bothering to look at the spot where he had been shot.
"Clang!" The bullet casing that had entered Kerry's body was squeezed out by the healing flesh, and at this moment the entire mountain building was in chaos.
"Someone has broken in! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
While it might not work outside, this was inside the building! The villagers, who had been chased like wild dogs by Kree because of the rising sun, immediately became excited upon hearing of the enemy attack and gathered from various passageways of the building.
Even the dense horde of ghouls prevented several people with guns from getting out of the room.
Seeing the crowds thronging the tunnel ahead like a tram station, and smelling the enticing aroma, Kerry couldn't help but gasp.
"Could the inside of this mountain have been hollowed out?"
Unless all these ghouls are crammed into one room, the actual size to accommodate them would probably be more than a few hundred square meters. If they were to all live in it, it would be unrealistic to expect it to be less than a thousand square meters. This is not a small base; it's a dwarven mountain city that often appears in Western fantasy worldviews!
Seeing the people surging in like a tide, almost filling the entire narrow tunnel, Kerry was not afraid at all. He stepped forward, stepped on a shotgun, and began to empty the magazine.
As the gunshot rang out and blood splattered, it seemed to wake the villagers who were temporarily hiding there.
"Ahhh!"
"Wait! This isn't that brat who keeps coming; it's the monster from last night!"
The villagers come here not just to escape the sun, but also to escape this monster that can't die at all!
"So what if it's a monster! There are many of us, and this place is cramped!"
"Wait! Don't push me!"
The man directly in front of Kerry, whose body had already been pierced, tried desperately to stop, but the people behind him pushed him forward with all their might.
Kerry calmly slid the shotgun under his feet backward.
Then I opened the door and retreated to a spot outside the entrance that was shaded by trees but still had some dappled sunlight, and began changing the cartridge.
The horde of ghouls that surged forward stopped just before they reached the door, with the first few shouting like madmen.
However, Kerry had already changed his bullets, and with enough space, He Zhen also started firing the bolt-action shotgun, which he wasn't very familiar with.
"boom!"
Kerry's first shot hit the heart of the first ghoul. Kerry thought that if he had the chance, he should definitely join a shooting club, or try to find a middle-aged man named Nobita Nobi who should be an adult by now.
"Run!"
With shouts of desperation, the crowd that had just surged in began to retreat, but now they were easy targets.
Kree deliberately raised his pistol and fired randomly into the crowd.
Screams rang out from the crowd retreating to various rooms. Many people collapsed in pain after being shot, but those behind them continued to rush forward regardless, causing a stampede in the tunnel.
Kerry seized the opportunity and rushed in.
At that moment, Qi, who was pacing around in confusion at the place where the fireworks were lit, twenty minutes away from where ordinary people were, received news that the mountains had been attacked.
