120: Rescue efforts from all sides! A funeral to be held!?

The internet was rocked by an earthquake.

TikTok, Kuaishou, Weibo, and other social short-video platforms dominated the major trending topic lists.

Phrases like "Su Yun Dead," "Su Yun Kicked the Bucket," and "Su Yun Vanished" appeared endlessly.

Below every video and every self-media blogger's commentary,

the bullet screens reached tens of thousands, nearly a hundred thousand in number... — [Brother Su is gone! My Brother Su is gone!]

— [The Dragon-Severing Stone has fallen. From now on, we are separated by life and death...]

— [Sigh... I knew if he kept going like this, something bad would happen!]

— [Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I didn't expect the Ancestor to be the one who finally took action!]

— [Damn it! I told myself not to touch the A-share market! Now I'm panicking because of the losses!]

— [Brother Su is gone... I might be gone too...]

— [Giving up already? When does a gambling addict always lose? Buy the dip! Buy the dip, brothers!]

Some lamented, some went crazy, and even more took this opportunity to fiercely accumulate wealth.

But the most outrageous and unexpectedly popular thing was...

A certain "All-in-One Funeral Service" livestream room, run by a funeral Streamer, while promoting merchandise in the livestream room, chatted: "Actually, I've been following Su Yun since the very beginning!"

"I said his business was viable! Sure enough, I waited for this day..."

"Brothers and sisters in the livestream room, our shop sells wreaths, sells yellow paper money..."

"Since you're all here, are you sure you don't want to buy something before you leave?"

Yes... before Su Yun's death was even confirmed, various funeral industries sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Those selling wreaths sold wreaths, and those selling yellow paper money sold yellow paper money... At the headquarters of "the strongest challenger" program.

The company atmosphere was stagnant.

The chairman and the shareholders were all worried, their faces turning alternatively black and green.

After learning that Su Yun had met with an accident, they mobilized all their contacts and all their resources.

They sent the excavator team directly to the location of the Steel Regiment Military District... The chairman declared: "Su Yun's life and death are tied to our company!"

"Now, he is no longer just an employee!"

"On the contrary... we bosses are the ones who should be working for him..."

"Spare no expense! Save him!"

Recognizing this fact,

everyone looked at each other, their inner bitterness having nowhere to be vented.

The director looked like he was dreaming: "Brother Su Yun... I miss you... Please come back quickly..."

They had always hoped Brother Su Yun would calm down.

But suddenly, he was gone without a word, and now they couldn't accept it!

... Longhai City, Police Bureau.

Officer Hong and Director Chen sat in the office, drinking in silence.

"Old Hong... why is this wine so hard to swallow today..."

It felt like swallowing knives.

Officer Hong gave a bitter smile, lowering his head to hide his completely reddened eyes.

"Bureau Chief Chen, I want to request leave."

"Fine... I approve it... I'm going with you!"

"Mobilize every police force we can! Go save Brother Su Yun!"

Director Chen naturally knew what Old Hong wanted to do.

They needed to find him alive or find his body.

These old acquaintances of his could not accept Su Yun's sudden death!

Forget about the Ancestor's tomb.

Even if it were the King of Heaven's tomb or a celestial grave... they had to go!

... The sky grew darker and darker.

Steel Regiment Military District.

It was as bright as day.

All kinds of rescue vehicles, whether from the public or official sources,

filled the Military Region... Soldiers and Rescue Team members, some operating excavators and others holding military shovels, rushed and scrambled to enter the tomb.

Zheng Jianfeng was directing the scene.

He himself had never seen such a massive undertaking.

Social Rescue Teams, completely unprompted,

entered the tomb one after another.

Some people at the scene, some reporters... exclaimed: "Friends! This is absolutely the largest and most magnificent rescue operation of the 21st century!"

— [I'm currently on a plane! Landing in half an hour! Brother Su, wait for me!]

— [Did you think I liked Brother Su just for fun? Wrong! I admire his spirit!]

— [He was hailed as the safety publicity ambassador, knowing there's a tiger in the mountains, yet heading straight for the tiger's lair...]

— [Brothers, if you get there, please dig a few extra shovelfuls for me!]

It must be known that Su Yun had tens of millions of followers across the entire network.

More and more people rushed to the scene.

Experts and engineers gathered together to discuss the plan.

They were currently engaged in an epic confrontation between modern and ancient wisdom!

Old Hu and others were responsible for controlling the scene to prevent accidents.

Looking at the terrifying flow of people... they exclaimed: "We didn't expect Brother Su Yun to have such immense influence."

"Alas..."

His companion sighed and shook his head: "It's useless..."

"You and I both know."

"Once the Dragon-Severing Stone falls... we are separated by life and death!"

They all knew clearly in their hearts.

Even if they didn't starve inside, they would suffocate.

Several hours had passed from afternoon until evening!

How could a normal person hold his breath for several hours?

... Meanwhile.

Deep within the cave.

Su Yun and Wang Fan continued walking with the aid of their searchlight.

They didn't know where they had walked to.

Chang Wei, leading the way, started howling.

The two exhausted men forced themselves to remain calm.

Su Yun asked: "Chang Wei, come here."

Little Chang Wei wagged his tail and ran excitedly to Su Yun's side.

"Awooo awooo..."

Growling low, he dropped an unknown object onto the ground.

Chang Wei barked a few more times, indicating: "There is light ahead!"

Su Yun immediately regained his spirits.

He picked up the object on the ground, which was roughly palm-sized and oval-shaped.

"Fatty, look..."

Wang Fan stared: "Holy cow! Jade!?"

"What beautiful jade quality, and this carving craftsmanship..."

Calling it heavenly was an understatement; calling it the work of nature and gods was more appropriate.

Su Yun's lips curled upwards, and he smiled slightly.

"It seems..."

"Fatty, your efforts in burning paper money and offering black silk stockings to the Ancestor weren't in vain."

"Let's go..."

"Today... we can count this as a blessing in disguise!"

Picking up the jade.

Su Yun held Chang Wei and continued walking deeper ahead... RUMBLE!

Outside.

After several hours of effort,

the Rescue Team discovered: the Dragon-Severing Stone did not budge!

Bombs couldn't blast it, and drills couldn't penetrate it... The Dragon-Severing Stone stood still, like an unshakeable heavenly object.

It just stood there quietly.

It seemed to be mocking the inability of the people and the weakness of the Rescue Team... Zheng Jianfeng's eyes were bloodshot: "Eight hours have passed..."

Regiment Commander Hu patted his shoulder: "Sigh... we can't keep going."

The higher-ups were also paying attention.

Although they were allowed to make a big effort to try, it didn't mean the higher-ups were willing to let them waste resources.

Especially since the public opinion turmoil caused in society was significant.

Zheng Jianfeng clenched his fist and smashed it hard against the stone: "It's all my fault..."

"I should have kept a better watch on the two of them back then!"

He was filled with remorse, completely ignoring the blood flowing from his knuckles.

He looked up and said solemnly: "Regiment Commander, since we can't rescue him..."

"I want to take this opportunity, while everyone is here."

"Let's openly and grandly hold a funeral for Brother Su Yun!"
