Chapter 60: Rushing Toward Her
Murong Yan slipped away almost as if his feet were greased, vanishing without a trace. Only Lu Qingqing remained standing at the same spot, her words as stubborn as ever.
Lu Qingqing turned to leave, but Shen Jin blocked her path.
“So you really don’t want to see me? I saved you yesterday, after all,” Shen Jin called out from behind. Lu Qingqing paused—not out of fear, but to avoid unnecessary trouble.

On the other side of the communication crystal, I listened to Harold sighing, but could only purse my lips in silent resignation.
My conviction grew firmer; after all, every victory of the Jinhua resistance would ultimately be attributed to the leadership of Zhang Qiang. Without Zhang Qiang, without this governor, they would not have the good lives, status, and identities they enjoyed now.
Apart from shock, the elders of the church felt a profound helplessness. If an opponent was only somewhat stronger, one could still muster the confidence and determination to chase after them. But when an adversary’s strength was so overwhelming as to be unattainable, all one could do was gaze up from behind.
Some of the long-range gunfire was wasted on automatic bursts, but it mattered little, for the zombies had already been completely wiped out by the Dragon Riders regiment. This was a battlefield—strewn with corpses of the undead. Next, Lu Xuan instructed everyone to help search for crystal nuclei.
Yet, masters of the king rank were different. They possessed the power for soul out-of-body experiences; even if their physical bodies were destroyed, before the arrival of the Judges of Life and Death, they could seek out their flesh and seize the opportunity to resurrect.
Xu Duan then opened the Minesweeper interface to continue his lottery, still selecting a random prize after eliminating all empty slots.
Mahā’s southern invasion meant forced marches were commonplace; the soldiers carried water and rations with them, so even marching through midday without pause was no problem.
At that moment, the golden arrow shot from the bowstring, its tip blossoming with a whirlwind of golden light, stirring the forces of heaven and earth in this space. A terrifying and immense power erupted, causing even the fabric of space to tremble, as if it might break at any moment.
On the ground lay more than a dozen corpses, blood gushing from them like a spring, flooding forth in madness.
“Who knows where they went? It seems they all switched careers right after graduation. Probably figured music had no future,” Su Li remarked.
“Why the hell would I ‘massage’ a ‘yarn’ shoulder for you? Let me tell you, do you actually believe this or not?” Lin Zhengfeng burst out, standing up in anger.
Tang Quan’s expression darkened instantly; despite all his calculations, he never imagined he’d make such a colossal mistake.
Hao Zhi had struggled for his life countless times, but never had he felt such despair. No matter the odds in the past, he always sensed there was a sliver of hope if he just held out.
“When the marketing department was first established, we lacked manpower, and I didn’t think things through. Lan Susu isn’t really suited for marketing, but I believe you can still carry on,” Hang Yu said.
On the platform in crimson robes, the elder’s gaze fell upon Chen Xi, murderous intent crawling forth from his eyes, so intense it lowered the temperature of the entire hall.

The Nether Dragon wore a defiant expression, glancing at Wang Hao still refining medicine, then sat cross-legged in the central plaza, restoring his depleted soul power.
Almost every KTV, bar, dance hall, internet cafe, large shopping mall, and even things like public transport lines and amusement parks belonged to the Su family’s business empire.
