I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Following the guidance of the drone, Sun Yang and M14 went around several slopes and found the human woman who was wearing very revealing clothes on a hilltop.

She was wearing a long dress, with a slender waist and a bust that seemed to overflow. Her hair was tied in a neat high ponytail. The woman was lowering her head, touching a stone and muttering something. Sun Yang couldn't see her face clearly from his side.

"Wow, it's really majestic. Hmm~ It feels about the same size as me." M14 gestured in front of his chest.

"What's there to compare in this kind of thing... Stop talking nonsense." Sun Yang walked up to the woman and coughed twice.

The woman suddenly raised her head, as if awakened from a dream. She looked at Sun Yang, then at M14 behind him, and slowly smiled.

"Oh, a traveler? Hello, my name is Croyana, and I run a mineral business. I travel while looking for rare stones, resell them, and then continue on my journey." Croyana spoke slowly and her articulation was a little unclear.

"You can call me Sun Yang. Um~ What stones do you have? Do you have wedge-shaped stones?" Sun Yang quickly finished the greetings and got straight to the point.

"I hadn't originally planned to come to this country, but for some reason, I found myself here before I knew it. Maybe I was distracted for a moment... How strange... But since I'm here, I might as well take a look around and maybe find something rare."

As Croyana spoke slowly, she pulled out a large bag from behind her and dug out various strange stones. Sun Yang narrowed his eyes to identify them.

[Commander, do people in this world like to talk to themselves?] M14 sent a message to Sun Yang via comms.

Sun Yang could only shrug.

"You... think I'm weird, right?" Croyana looked up and asked.

"Ah, this is okay, okay." Sun Yang said vaguely.

"It's okay. I know that others may think I'm a weirdo. But I do have some of the wedge-shaped stones you want. I've met many traveling warriors who want these stones, and wedge-shaped stones are in short supply. So as long as you can afford it, I can give you some~ This is also business~" Croyana showed Sun Yang the various stones she had.

Amidst the jumble of rocks, there were several with peculiar shapes that looked very familiar to Sun Yang. The strange patterns on them were unique to cuneiform stones. Even more remarkable, she also collected a Campfire Explorer.

"Oh~ Don't be so greedy. Exchange it with your soul." Croyana stretched out her white arms and signaled Sun Yang to pay.

Sun Yang spent all the souls he had found while killing monsters along the way, exchanging them for the dozen or so wedge-shaped stones and campfire explorers in Croyana's hands. Croyana collected the souls with satisfaction and tied her pockets.

Although Sun Yang had the idea of ​​robbing them directly, Croyana was not just selling these stones. She had a special talent that could identify the characteristics of various stones and distinguish which ones were useful and which were just ordinary rocks.

Besides, she won't stay here forever. It will take about a month to walk from here to Rumi. When she returns to Rumi, I will ask her for the wedge stone.

"Come to think of it, I remember this was a mine. Have you found anything here?" Sun Yang said to Croyana.

"I came here to wander around because I heard that this place is rich in rare minerals. But this place is very different from what was rumored. There is poisonous gas everywhere, and it is impossible to go deep. You'd better not wander around casually." Croyana said.

Well, I thought I could find out the location of nearby ore. It turns out I overthought, Sun Yang thought regretfully.

Croyana in front of him seemed to have opened a chatterbox, and she talked a lot when talking about minerals. She generally described the tricks of various stones, and some stones contained special powers that could bring about qualitative changes to weapons or armor.

"Anyway, this thing isn't that simple. But it's better than not considering it at all," Kroyana said as she began to look into the distance again. "But, Dolan Gureg, how did I end up here? I can't remember something..."

Oh, and this guy has also been transformed into a zombie, but it doesn't look too serious. Sun Yang quickly pulled out a portrait from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

"Hmm? What is this? It doesn't look like ore." Croyana looked at the portrait in her hand.

"Aren't there some things you can't remember? Hold it and try to recall your name." Sun Yang didn't explain, but just asked her to try.

"I've never seen anything that can restore memory..." Croyana muttered to herself, but the image quickly dissipated in her hands. An inexplicable magical force cleared the curse from her body.

"Hmm? Memories? They're coming back... I'm Croyana, I, I came out to look for my father! Damn, how did I end up in Dolan Gureg? How did I end up in such a dangerous place?" Croyana blinked and looked up at Sun Yang.

"Oh! Mr. Sun Yang! Thank you so much! Thank you! What can I do for you?" Croyana's joy was beyond words.

"If you want to find your father, go west. There is a small town called Rumi. You can stop there to rest for a while. As for the reward... If you plan to stay in Rumi for a while, then prepare more wedge stones. I need that. You won't need anything else." Sun Yang first arranged a long-term supply of wedge stones.

"Ah~ Of course, no problem sir. I'll give you a discount~ Oh my God, I have to leave quickly, it's too dangerous around here, I have to take care of my life~ Goodbye, kind sir!" Croyana quickly got up and hurried away carrying a large bag of stones.

She had just walked a short distance when she turned into a transparent shadow and was never seen again.

"No matter how many times I see it, I always find it ridiculous. A healthy, living person can just disappear like that. This world is just too terrible." M14 said a little sadly.

"One day you will leave here, M14, there will be a day, but things have to be done step by step." Sun Yang touched M14's face and rubbed it.

"Wuwuwuu ...

Sun Yang rubbed M14's face while opening the window to observe the situation at Xian's side. Xian was pointing the equipment at the nearby rock formations and abandoned mines.

Her body and clothing were highly resilient to harsh environments, allowing her to navigate a mine filled with toxic gas without any problems. The humanoid team protecting her, however, engaged in passionate battles with the still-moving zombies and sorcerers of the Oil Flowing Valley, out of reach of the toxic gas.

Sun Yang was not to be outdone. He found a few humanoids who wanted to fight in Liuyou Valley and shook them out.

This Liuyou Valley doesn't need living enemies!

59 Encounter with the Earth Tower

Guns and cannons roared as Griffin's humanoids cleared the mine.

Flames spurted out of the scalding gun barrels. These undead beings, consisting only of flesh and blood, used their lives to verify the reliability of bullets.

A figure with long silver-gray hair rained down bullets at the intersection. Several large men standing in the mine collapsed with blood and tears gushing out of their bodies. She exhaled, raised her gun, and hid behind it, signaling her companions to take turns firing.

The PK's barrel was a little overheated and needed to wait a while. She didn't have to worry about changing the bullets. The commander had prepared large ammunition boxes for all their machine gunners.

PKP, standing by, took her place, pouring ammunition into the endless stream of zombies. The remaining dozens of zombies were shattered into pieces in seconds. Blood and shattered viscera were obscured by the thick, poisonous mist.

[Negev Squad, forward.] Negev and her team descended into the mine. Uzi, Galil, and TAR21, walking ahead, carefully searched the pit for any intact zombie bodies, shooting them twice if any were found.

Negev opened the tactical map and looked at the planned attack route. Sun Yang had previously planned the attack range for the Negev team and the two machine gunners supporting them through the drone network.

The entire Oil Valley was designated as the attack range of the three teams. They only needed to kill the enemies in front of them and then continue to advance. A dozen lone wolf-like figures followed up and conducted a secondary search of the cleared areas to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

[Captain, we're done.] Uzi fired two shots at the zombie's head and kicked it again.

[Okay, keep going. After we're done, we'll meet up with the other teams at the bottom of the earthen tower.] Negev ran towards the bottom of the earthen tower, climbing up the hillside with his bare hands, carrying his machine gun.

On the other side of the hillside, there were several interconnected mines. The zombies who were once miners were walking around in panic, making strange roars.

The enemy seemed to have finally realized that something was amiss and was running around, trying to gather. However, no captain or commander was found in the Negev; the zombies seemed to be just drifting back and forth.

It was another simple task. Negev waited until the zombies had gathered, then pulled the trigger and buried them with bullets.

The few sorcerers who were capable of taking out the humanoids were the first to be targeted because of their conspicuous clothing. Only at the beginning, when the humanoids didn't understand their attacks and were slightly frustrated, the rest of the time, the sorcerers had no ability to fight back.

Armor-piercing machine gun bullets pierced through the bodies of several zombies like gourds, and they fell in large numbers like wheat being cut. Negev, expressionless, killed the last zombie that was still able to move.

The rest of the Negev squad had already shot down the wooden planks blocking the mine tunnel below, sending two machine gunners inside and firing at the zombies swarming out of the tunnel. The PK and PKP units alternated forward, tearing apart the surging enemy forces.

The tide stagnated, and no more waves could be raised. The PK and PKP stopped firing, and the members of the Negev team rushed into the mine, clearing out the enemies inside and recovering some supplies.

[Commander, we have completed all missions. What are your next instructions?] Negev dialed Sun Yang's comms.

"Stand by and wait for the other teams to join." Sun Yang had already reached the lower level of the earth tower. He and M14 first sneaked to the bottom of the tower. Anyway, the soul-absorbing range of the silver snake ring was very large, and the humanoid team's attack did not waste the absorption of souls.

[Not attack this tower?] Negev looked at the magnificent earthen tower in front of him, its earthy outer walls and its overly large windmill, which were very suitable for blasting with explosives.

"No need. The key is to recover Xian's wedge stone. There is no rush to attack the earth tower." Sun Yang answered Negev's doubts.

[Roger that. Team Negev, stand by.] Negev glanced at the earthen tower before him again, feeling the urge to shoot at its outer wall with a machine gun and then draw on it.

Forget it, stop with the prank. The Negev relayed the commander's orders to their members, and the dolls fighting in the mine tunnel acknowledged their orders.

On the other side, at the bottom of the earth tower, Sun Yang gave the orders and looked at the human in front of him with some distress.

"Have you finished giving the orders?" Rukatiye said jokingly, leaning against the wall.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Sun Yang sighed.

Rukatiye, I haven't seen him since the voyage. Although we haven't known each other for very long, in this chaotic world, a brief friendship is precious.

"You've been gone for a long time, Sun Yang. The notes in your room have almost become my diary. I was wondering if you were lost in another world." Rukatiye said bitterly, flicking the dust off his ceremonial hat.

"......" Sun Yang was a little confused about Rukatiye's thoughts, but her guess was quite accurate.

"To be honest, I thought I could conquer that place full of prisons and jails with you. But I waited for about a week and couldn't find you. Even the talismans didn't work, so I gave up. But now, meeting you again in this chaotic Dolan Gureg is already a miracle. Perhaps fate has brought us together."

"I'm sorry, Rukatiye. Actually, I just returned to this world not long ago. However, I really didn't expect to meet you again. I thought I could only wait for you in Rumi." After thinking for a while, Sun Yang felt that Rukatiye should be someone worth winning over, so he told her some of the truth.

"Oh... I'm not blaming you, Sun Yang. I'm just worried that maybe I've offended you in some way, causing you to keep avoiding me... It seems the real situation is more complicated. Do you have time to tell me about the stories of these days?" Rukatiye asked.

"Oh, of course, Rukatiye." Sun Yang sat down on the ground. Behind him, M14 held his gun, staring at Rukatiye expressionlessly.

"Miss Doll, what's the matter?" Rukatiye felt a little scared when M14 stared at him.

"Your clothes seem to be the same set..." M14 turned his head away, pretending to look at the scenery.

"Ahem, ahem, it's so hard to wash clothes or take a shower here." Rukatiye coughed violently. Is this what this doll looks like?

Only then did Sun Yang notice that Rukatiye's dark coat was stained with stains. It looked like it hadn't been washed in quite a while. Her long blond hair was pulled back into a ponytail, sleek and shiny.

Sniff—Sun Yang moved forward and took a deep breath. A faint sour smell drifted over from Rukatiye. It looked like she hadn't taken care of her personal hygiene for quite some time.

"Don't worry about these trivial matters, let's get back to business." Rukatiye moved back slightly and recounted what had happened during this period.

After arriving at the Forgotten Cage, Rukatiye explored this broken country alone. She is a warrior from the Miller Knights and is capable of defeating most enemies.

However, when she encountered the Curse-Binder again, she was not so lucky. Rukatiye lacked the means to defeat the Curse-Binder, and although she tried to blast his armor with a shotgun, it was clear that the shotgun could not penetrate the Curse-Binder's armor.

The final outcome was that Rukatiye had his head chopped off by the Cursed One's sword, and he returned to the campfire to warm himself. Not only did he accumulate curses, but he also lost a considerable amount of his soul.

After learning from her mistakes, Rukatiye ran all the way back to Rumi to retrieve her soul. She pondered how to deal with the powerful Curse Binder and tried to visit Karion, who was staying in Rumi for research, but he suggested that with her intelligence, she would be better off sticking to the path of a warrior.

"I tried to listen to him explain the basics, but of course, I didn't understand a thing. Then I went to the girl in the green robe and asked her how I could learn magic on my own. She just told me to read a book for a few hours and then come back to her."

"I went to see the gentleman who drew the map. He had a lot of books in his storeroom. I just forced myself to read from morning till night. I read until my head was dizzy. I knew the words in the books, but when I put them together, I felt dizzy."

"After that, I went to find the girl in green robe. She held my hand and told me to close my eyes. The soul in my body was greatly reduced, but I didn't feel anything. At most, my head was no longer dizzy."

"I thought, isn't this just using the soul to strengthen the body? But when I went to see that Karion again, he thought I had the ability to learn. I suddenly understood those strange principles. It was really strange."

Rukatiye scratched her head. She didn't feel that her brain was working better than before. Perhaps it was just that her ability to understand magic was stronger than before.

In short, Rukatiye learned the two most basic magics from Karion: Soul Arrow and Spell Weapon. The former is the most basic ranged magic, and the latter is to add magical power to weapons.

With this dark blue magic attached, Rukatiye's weapon can easily cut through enemies wearing hard armor.

In Miller, only a few powerful knights could learn magic, and they abandoned their heavy armor and instead used gorgeous magic and outstanding swordsmanship to defeat their enemies. Rukatiye never imagined that in just a few days, he would learn the magic that only elite knights could cast.

Then she stepped into the Forgotten Cage again, relying on the magical blade and the shotgun given by Sun Yang to defeat the Curse Binders one by one, and killed the powerful enemy in the Tower of Sinners.

"Although my goal is not to kill her, I am also a warrior and it is difficult for me to refuse the opportunity to challenge a strong person," Rukatiye added.

Afterwards, Rukatiye asked around for other places to go. She learned that far to the east of Rumi, there was a powerful country called the Iron Kingdom. So she set out there.

Starting from Rumi, we crossed the long hunting forest and passed through the Liuyou Valley. Finally, we met Sun Yang at the bottom of the earthen tower.

"If I had come here on foot instead of by ship, I would have encountered the Molten Iron Country first. However, I heard that country's military strength is extremely strong, and every soldier can be equipped with full metal armor and weapons. With my current strength, I would probably be defeated there quickly."

After summarizing his experience, Rukatiye took out a water bag from his waist and took two sips.

"That's roughly my experience. Tell me about yours, Sun Yang."

"Rukatiye, I think you are a trustworthy person, so I hope you can keep this secret." Sun Yang finally made up his mind and prepared to pull Rukatiye into his car.

When the AK15 had previously fought those enemies, Sun Yang had witnessed just how ridiculously unkillable they were. They could withstand an armor-piercing sniper bullet to the head, their movement speed barely keeping up with the AK15, and their bodies were so tough that they couldn't be killed without a rocket launcher.

That's AK15, the most powerful tactical humanoid under Sun Yang. Moreover, if AK15 didn't have a rocket launcher, and both sides were fighting with the same weapon, it would be hard to say who would win in the end.

Trusted undead teammates are definitely worth cultivating. Sun Yang can already imagine Rukatiye throwing high-explosive grenades at the enemy and jumping into the crowd with two enchanted swords to show his invincibility.

"Just tell me, I'll be conservative." Rukatiye said easily.

"I said before that I can go to other worlds. This is not a lie. I did find a way to go to other worlds and stayed there for nearly two months. That's why you couldn't wait for me." Sun Yang adjusted his sitting position.

"You don't look like a magician...how did you do that?"

"I did some tampering with the Campfire Explorer, had my puppet make some tools, and then I went to talk to an old wizard..."

"If it were that simple, I wouldn't have to work so hard to find someone."

"Because I didn't do any of this. I was just responsible for using the tools. Also, you said you wanted to find someone?"

"...I'm looking for my brother. That's why I'm traveling." Rukatiye realized that he seemed to have let something slip and turned his head away. "Don't worry about it. This is my own business. I won't bother others."

"Don't say that. Although I can't go with you in the search, I can still provide some support."

"Don't change the subject for now. This is what we're going to talk about later. First, finish telling me about your trip to the other world."

"So, I just went to another world. If you want me to provide evidence..." Sun Yang opened the window and took a comic book from the lounge area of ​​Springfield Cafe and gave it to Rukatiye.

"What is this? A picture album? I don't recognize these words. Are these women and men? Why are they drawn so strangely?" Rukatiye pointed at the comic book in his hand.

"'The Innocent Landlady'? How can the Americans sell a book like that... Anyway, this world can't produce a book like that. Shouldn't you admit that?"

Rukatiye flipped through the book in his hand and nodded in acknowledgment.

"In my country, Miller wouldn't use paper to draw these things because he didn't have the time. Miller's books are basically filled with allusions and military-related content. Only countries with sufficient wealth and developed cultural industries have the time to do this kind of thing."

As if accepting her fate, she closed the book and returned it to Sun Yang. "I believe you. After all, you can create so many strange weapons and bring out strange puppets... I've been to the cage, and the puppets there are so stupid. If you have this skill, it's not surprising that you can run to other worlds. I didn't expect your wish to come true so quickly."
