Ashin, who has been traced by assassins, has found herself in the barn and the same assassin is now following her. Earlier, she always tries to hide from him and somehow succeeds but this time she took the weapon. Ashin killed the enemy through his own knife and let the secret plant grow on his head.

Similarly, other soldiers in the barn started to convert into zombies while Ashin was watching all these things happen. She then killed and burned every one of them through her archery.
