Volume 1, Chapter 56: Murder by Unknown Means

He glanced at the zombie, then looked back at Nalan Ruoruo, bared his teeth, and bit her straight on the neck.

She did not even spare him a single glance now, yet she remained as serene and elegant as ever. Even though she was wearing ordinary casual clothes, she wore them with an air of noble dignity.

Su Donghe pulled the old man's body aside, an action that made Hu Xiao narrow his eyes. Hu Xiao had always considered the old man to be just an ordinary village elder, or at most a capable old fellow, but he had never expected him to be so formidable.

Why rush this exact moment? Since he was willing to try to accept her, she believed that with her own charm, she would eventually make him fall in love with her. She possessed this confidence.

At this moment, even a servant of the Xiao family could walk with their head held high, looking proud and relaxed as they moved among these prominent and influential figures of Wolyang City.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, they were helpless. Such circumstances occurred every Dragon Boat Festival, and getting angry was of no use.

As her hand reached the car door handle, Ning Xia subconsciously looked back at Jun Jian, her brow furrowing involuntarily.

However, once the number reached fifty, the rate of entry slowed down noticeably. After all, the quota for complimentary drinks had already been filled.

"Director Wang, don't worry. That Hu Xiao has already been taken down by me, and right now he's sound asleep in the lounge!"

Looking at that handsome face bearing a faint smile, Wen Yingying's dust-covered face burned involuntarily.

Lu Chuan, having tested the power of the explosive pack, knew that a single explosive pack, if used well, was quite enough to reduce a Licker into a pool of mush.

In times of turbulent chaos, armed forces are indispensable. I shall first allocate fifty thousand new recruits to you. Those troops have already been stationed for you at the garrison camp in Dingyi Province, and the provincial commander is helping you drill them. I have inspected them, and they are already taking shape. Once you take charge of those garrison troops, cultivate them well.

For the little bell, whose physical body strength had already reached the late stage of a celestial artifact, top-grade spirit stones could be used during cultivation without having to worry about spiritual energy explosions caused by an overabundance of vital energy.

Even after they obtained the arena, became Chosen Ones, and advanced to Inspectors, and despite the countless technologies available for exchange on the Arena Star, they fundamentally doubted the very existence of technology.

The old man chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "What is inside a tomb? There are plenty of things inside a tomb! Sigh..." The old man sighed inexplicably as he spoke, a trace of sorrow flashing through his eyes.

"Elder Brother, not even a single magic horn has been awakened yet why are you dampening our own spirit like this?" Manager Han argued with a stiff neck.

Perhaps Wang Qitian and Wang Yang could achieve this in the near future, but clearly, it was beyond their current capabilities.

Upon hearing Shenhan's explanation, Yuanxing and his family felt the heavy stone in their hearts instantly lift, their expressions turning relieved.

No matter how Shanshi County changed, it still retained the atmosphere of the doomsday—it was thoroughly dilapidated. The small number of survivors, coupled with a shortage of supplies, left many houses empty, with things like windows left completely unrepaired.

Surveying the ten grand commanders of the military council before him, Ling Xia frowned slightly. Although it was early morning, some of these men reeked of alcohol while others smelled of rouge. Aside from the person sitting at the very back who appeared somewhat sober, all the others were in a daze.

Although Shen Cheng's temperament was excessively harsh and violent, in his heart he knew very well that this son was exceptionally talented and fully qualified to be his successor.

Damn it, so the Sun family had bullied Sun Yanhong like this all along; there was actually such a hidden backstory to it.

Zhao Zixuan let out a long sigh, assuming his master still hadn't figured things out. He bowed respectfully and, taking Yu Hua with him, departed through the air.

Lu Zhi felt thoroughly uncomfortable under her gaze, and recalling what she had said last night, she clicked her tongue and shook her head.

He Zhao, sitting in the front, could not help but stroke his arm as goosebumps broke out all over his skin; it was simply unbearable to listen to.

There were actually a few trainers aboard the ship as well, but facing that towering wave, even though they all possessed Water-type Pokémon, they could not muster a single thought of resistance.

He rattled on in one breath. Ning Lang could follow the first half, but by the second half, he had no idea what he was talking about.

How could such words ever cross that man's lips? When Shen Qingwu woke up, she would still have to listen to his nagging—how laughable. The mere thought of Haitang's affected and pretentious demeanor made her feel sick.

Not every wealthy second-generation heir is merely a spendthrift; quite a few of them are genuinely capable. Even though surpassing their fathers is exceedingly difficult, outperforming ordinary people is not particularly hard for the driven ones among them.

Thus, Xiao Yu became certain that the Undead race was the savior of this continent. As long as they were utilized properly, the Undead were the true trump card capable of saving this continent.

"Let's talk about automobile manufacturing. Why does it feel like cars are everywhere here? Is there even a market for them?" Zhang Tianyi asked expressionlessly. Some things could be left undone, but remaining ignorant about them was simply wrong.

"If this general's prediction is correct, the local rebels will still launch their raid today from the opposite Nankan Mountain and Jinbang Mountain," Wang Xiang smiled and said.

It was a face unadorned by any cosmetics, yet all the more vivid for it. Beneath long eyelashes, a pair of bright eyes brimmed with crystalline tears, resembling a morning lake veiled in a thin mist, exuding endless melancholy and sorrow.

Meng Ling did not speak either. She slowly sat up and attempted to stand, but halfway up, dizziness overtook her, and she sank back down.

Seeing the two major superpowers at each other's throats, naturally, they had no reason to leave. They watched from a distance, curious to see how the conflict between the two superpowers would wrap up.

Boss Su and Boss Chao looked at each other. However, upon careful reflection, if they could shake off their current losing streak, giving this bit of benefit to Xiao Bohan was really not excessive. At worst, it would just mean changing the beverage supplier for their venues in the future; fundamentally, they would suffer no real loss.

Spatial exploration involves seeing through phenomena to grasp the essence. To study the essence of the laws of space: what is space? In what form does it exist? After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng realized that taking shortcuts in cultivating these laws truly did not work.

Yet the more critical the juncture, the less one could afford to be impatient. He continuously reminded himself to check whether there were any loopholes left in the entire operation—troop strength, plans, security, breakthroughs... Every single checkpoint had to be verified repeatedly until he was certain not a single error would occur.

Catching a faint trace of alcohol in the air, Zhuoguang glanced at Li Yan, who was burying his face as he lay down, before finally sharing the intelligence he had gathered earlier.
