“It died just like that?”

Even though Sophia saw how Hubert killed the slime, she still couldn’t believe it.

That slime that was ten meters tall, and it almost killed her. However, it was easily killed by a few tanks of gas.

“Is it incredible?”, Hubert asked with a smile.

“Yes.”, Sophia nodded vigorously.

“Actually, there’s nothing strange about it,”, Hubert explained. “These monsters only look strong, but as long as we know their weakness, it’s  very easy to kill them.”

“Okay, now that the slime is killed, let’s take a look at the situation of the water tank.”, Hubert went to the side of the cistern and checked the situation of the water tank.

Sure enough, the water supply was cut off previously because the slimes had blocked the water outlet.

Now that the slimes had been destroyed, the water supply would naturally be restored.

“Alright, we should go back now. Otherwise, Father Marlin and the others will be worried.”, clapped his hands and led Sophia back.

However, before leaving, Hubert fixed the door that he had opened.

He knew that the water supply station would not be able to last long if no one was on duty. In the future, when there were more people in the church, he would need to send someone to be on duty here, at least to ensure the church’s water supply.

The two of them returned to St. Raphael’s Cathedral and were warmly welcomed by the crowd.

Miranda, in particular, immediately went into the kitchen to cook.

Soon, a large table of dishes was prepared.

Vegetable salad, mashed potatoes, fried chicken legs, macaroni, pea soup, and a whole table of sumptuous dishes made everyone satisfied.

After dinner, Hubert and Sophia went back to their rooms to rest, leaving a few civilians who had worked as security guards to watch the night.

In the middle of the night, Hubert could not sleep, so he decided to patrol the church.

As soon as he arrived at the kitchen door, he heard a slight noise coming from inside.

“Is there a rat in the church?”, Hubert didn’t dare to wait any longer and quickly opened the door to check the situation.

If a rat entered the kitchen, it would be a big problem. Not only would it pollute the food, but it would also bring germs.

Hubert remembered that during the Cataclysm, there was a shelter in the neighboring city that was destroyed by the plague.

Hubert opened the door and found that what he saw was not a huge rat, but a young girl chewing on bread.

The girl had red hair and her entire body was covered in red carapace. Her lower body and legs were covered in a layer of red and white carapace. The most eye-catching thing was the two huge pincers on her arms, which looked like a cooked lobster.

The pincers were the size of a basketball and were full of sharp teeth. Hubert was sure that the pincers could easily snap the neck of a snow wolf.

At this moment, the lobster-like girl was holding a baguette and chewing it with difficulty.

When she saw Hubert notice her, she was stunned on the spot, holding the half-eaten baguette with a pair of pincers, looking at him at a loss.

“It’s good that it’s not a rat.”, Hubert heaved a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry, finish your bread first. We’ll talk after you finish it.”, Hubert went to the fridge and took out two bottles of milk.

He handed one of the bottles to the girl. After thinking for a moment, Hubert unscrewed the lid for her.

“Thank you.”, the girl seemed to be really hungry. She carefully picked up the milk bottle with a pair of pincers and gulped down more than half of it in one go.

“Okay, now can you tell me what happened and why you sneaked into the church to steal things?”, Hubert asked while hugging his shoulders.

“I, I was really hungry, so that’s why, that’s why…”, the girl blushed and stammered.

Seeing the girl’s blushing face, Hubert felt that she looked even more like a cooked lobster.

“Then why don’t you just enter the church?”, Hubert asked.

“My appearance is too scary., the girl lowered her head, with two large pincers behind her back, looking anxious.

“Is it? You look fine to me, why would anyone feel scared?”

Hubert looked at the girl’s appearance. Her body was covered in a red shell, two pairs of large pincers, and red hair. She looked like a humanoid lobster, giving people a decent sense.

Among monsters, other than elves, succubus, and other monsters that were known for their beauty, she was considered pretty good.

At least she was much better than slugs, octopuses, and sea spider person.

The latter could be considered to have broken through the limits of human aesthetics.

“It’s true. I tried to go to some shelters. Many people were afraid of me and chased me out. I couldn’t find anything to eat, so I had no choice but to steal something to eat. I really just wanted to eat something, so I only ate some bread. I didn’t touch anything else in the cupboard.”

The lobster girl said.

Hubert used the Eyes of Good and Evil to look at the lobster girl and found that her body was still covered in a white halo. There was only a faint yellowish color.

From the value of good and evil, it could be deduced that what she said should be true.

That light yellow should be caused by the food stealing.

“What’s your name?”, Hubert suddenly asked.

“Linda, a freelance painter, but I can’t hold a paintbrush anymore”, the lobster girl said.

“Okay, Linda, are you willing to join the sanctuary of St. Raphael’s Cathedral?”, Hubert asked.

“What?”, Linda couldn’t believe what she heard.

“I am now officially inviting you to join the sanctuary of St. Raphael’s Cathedral. After joining the sanctuary, you will be provided with three free meals every day. However, the price is the corresponding labor. After all, our sanctuary is not big, and we don’t have enough resources. We can’t support idle people.”, Hubert said.

“But, what can I do? I only know how to draw. Now that I look like this, I’m afraid I can’t draw anymore”, Linda said with some worries.

“It doesn’t matter. There are many things you can do, but your most important task now is to test the vulnerability of the church’s defense system”, Hubert said.

“Test the vulnerability?”, Linda didn’t quite understand what Hubert meant.

“Yes, it is to test the vulnerability.”, Hubert explained, “I bet that this disaster will not be over soon. On the contrary, it will become more and more chaotic in the future. In this case, it is very important to strengthen the church’s defense system. The church’s defense is like a sieve now, it even cannot stop a newbie intruder like you. So, the task assigned to you is to try your best to find the loopholes in the church’s defense, and then think of ways to fix them up. Try to raise the church’s defense level a little more.”

“Can I really do it?”, Linda asked with some anxiety.

“Of course, if you don’t have any other opinions, you are now a member of the sanctuary.”, Hubert reached out his hand.

“Thank you.”

A light green faith floated out of Linda and entered Hubert’s body.
