At Y-27 Base, Qin Su ordered Class 6 to hibernate and assemble that night, leaving them to suspect an operation against the forty-nine academies and wonder whether they should try to stop him.

• Qin Su walked past the forty-nine academies with Class 6, whose members hid their nerves while quietly assessing the Modified Humans’ weaknesses.

• Class 6 members suspected Qin Su planned to attack the other academies and questioned whether they should try to talk him out of killing their Modified Humans.

Class 6 prepared for Qin Su’s operation by studying their targets and gathering supplies, while Qin Su kept his plan and the identities of special Modified Humans to himself. He issued each group a target list and outfitted the class in unmarked Combat Suits, leaving them to realize they would be acting as Qin Su’s own soldiers.

• He Muzhi argued that not all Modified Humans were puppets, but Class 6 could not find a reliable way to distinguish willing participants from those who had suffered modification.
• Qin Su monitored Class 6 and decided not to reveal which Modified Humans might be exceptions, believing uncertainty would prevent his classmates from hesitating during a confrontation.

• Class 6 students headed to their assigned targets, while viewers debated whether Qin Su intended to spare cooperative Modified Humans and attack the rest.
• At E-26 Base, Class 1 of the First Military Academy heard an explosion and Raymond announce that they were surrounded, then readied themselves for battle.

Class 6 confronted Class 1 at its base, where Raymond targeted Ulysses with a weapon while He Muzhi gave the Modified Humans a chance to get away. After Philomena ordered Class 1 to retreat, Ulysses unleashed his pheromones and attacked everyone indiscriminately, leaving both classes scrambling to dodge.

• Philomena organized Class 1 for Class 6’s arrival and denied opening the base’s door to them.
