Xiu Xian approached the lifeless body of Kozlov on the ground, wearing an expression of shock. Slowly, he closed Kozlov's still open eyes.

"Is this how one's time period limits their perspective?" Xiu Xian muttered, "Under certain circumstances, people often fail to consider some very obvious things. Once you learned arts, you thought of practicing combat skills, holding a dagger for close quarters combat. But why didn't you consider carrying an AK-47 of justice with you? That would be a true weapon."

As Xiu Xian spoke, he patted the guy's shoulder and glanced at his staff nearby.

"The chances of being discovered are slim," Xiu Xian placed his staff beside him, "But I'm sorry, in order to avoid exposure, I must do this."

Xiu Xian lightly tapped the Originium crystal at the top of the staff with his finger, then turned and walked towards the overturned armored vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Originium crystal on the staff, which had already lost its luster, began to slowly regain its radiance, growing brighter and brighter.

Xiu Xian reached the side of the armored vehicle and took out a piece of originium from his sac. He casually threw it next to Kozlov's body.

Then, Xiu Xian turned and left.

An explosion roared from behind, and a blast of heat rushed out, shattering all the glass in the vicinity.

Xiu Xian stopped at a corner.

He opened the communication device and adjusted his tone, "Boss, are you secretly a grandma? I've taken care of my side already. When are you going to be done?"

"Shut up!" The voice that came through was Crownslayer's.

After a moment, Crownslayer landed in front of Xiu Xian.

Xiu Xian had a cheerful expression, "You're a bit late."

But this time, Crownslayer didn't banter with him. Instead, she grabbed Xiu Xian's hand and exclaimed, "Hurry, let's go!"

"Huh? What?" Xiu Xian hadn't even realized what was happening when Crownslayer pulled him along, running at full speed!

And they probably ran for over a kilometer without stopping.

Aren't infected supposed to be weak and frail? Running for over a kilometer and still going?

Is this the infected olympics or what?

"I... need... an explanation." Xiu Xian gasped for breath and asked.

Crownslayer's response was only three words, "It's coming!"

Just as Xiu Xian was about to ask what was coming, the distant night sky suddenly became as bright as day.

Terrifying Originium energy emanated from the direction of the false sun in the dark sky!

"Take cover!" Crownslayer pulled Xiu Xian with her and leaped into a nearby building, pressing him to the ground!

In the next moment, Xiu Xian felt the entire floor shake as if in an earthquake. Furniture in the room was lifted by a tremendous force and crashed against the walls!

Xiu Xian wanted to speak but when he opened his mouth, a rush of hot air rushed in, almost scorching him. This made Xiu Xian decide to stay silent.

Within moments, the blast subsided, and Crownslayer, panting heavily, sat up, "Phew, we've finally made it through."

"What... was that?"

This was the first time Xiu Xian had witnessed such a terrifying release of Originium energy.
