The Black Lord Flees

In a world overrun by the undead, Zhang Sinian stands as humanity's last shield. Drenched in zombie gore, the nation's most powerful esper clutches the core crystals of his fallen comrades—their final hope for peace. Behind him, thousands of survivors huddle in the secure base. Ahead, his allies beg him to flee while he still can. But retreat means condemning everyone he's sworn to protect. With a faint smile, Zhang Sinian faces the approaching horde, knowing some sacrifices can't be measured, and some heroes were never meant to run.
