Chapter Summaries

He Muzhi and Raymond cornered Xuan Jingcheng, using He Muzhi as bait to exploit Xuan Jingcheng’s belief that He Muzhi recognized him. They killed him after He Muzhi stabbed his neck and cut off the hand holding him, and Qin Su later confirmed that He Wenyuan was dead.

• Temple remembered that Xuan Jingcheng had betrayed the military by handing Aldrich to the Osotarian garrison, and warned He Muzhi and Raymond.
• He Muzhi and Raymond pursued Xuan Jingcheng through the damaged building while his strange Alpha Pheromones affected them and drew in the Living Dead.

• Raymond and He Muzhi fired into the Living Dead covering Xuan Jingcheng, and Xuan Jingcheng died beneath the horde.
• He Muzhi wondered whether Qin Su had anticipated the events, and Qin Su asked the system whether He Wenyuan was dead; the system confirmed that he was.

Qin Su reviewed evidence of Xuan Jingcheng’s betrayal and withheld from He Muzhi that Xuan Jingcheng was actually He Wenyuan, while the search-and-rescue teams finished clearing Visana Town. After destroying Evan’s corpse to prevent it from reviving, Qin Su turned his weapon on McCarthy, who realized his plan had failed.

• Qin Su organized evidence showing Xuan Jingcheng had murdered people, passed intelligence to the Ossotalia Empire’s Garrison, and betrayed Leichakan.

• Qin Su ordered the search-and-rescue teams to evacuate and destroyed Evan’s corpse with gunfire after noticing McCarthy’s anxious attention to it.
• McCarthy realized Evan could no longer revive and distract Qin Su, then panicked when Qin Su aimed his weapon at him.

Qin Su tricked McCarthy into leading him out, then destroyed the Ossotalia Empire spaceship and its Defensive Light Screen while escaping the blast with McCarthy. He emerged above the garrison as the assembled war-zone teams watched, and Class 6 recognized their Class Monitor as the Chief Commander.

• McCarthy pretended to offer Qin Su inside information about the Ossotalia Empire to stall for time, while Qin Su ordered the war-zone teams to gather above the garrison.
• Qin Su secretly placed McCarthy's heavy weapon on the spaceship's self-destruct button, then made McCarthy lead him to the hatch and boarded his Warship.
• McCarthy saw the surrounding Ossotalia Empire Warships and realized Qin Su had surrounded the spaceship, while the soldiers believed their Chief Commander had escaped with Qin Su behind him.
• Qin Su sped away with McCarthy, accidentally triggering the weapon's release from the self-destruct button; the spaceship exploded, destroying the Defensive Light Screen and scattering nearby Warships.
• Qin Su escaped the blast with McCarthy and appeared above the garrison, where the gathered soldiers stared in silence and Anthony excitedly called out to his Class Monitor.

Qin Su forced McCarthy to issue the mass injection order, allowing the Ossotalia garrison to transform into Living Dead while Federation forces watched. He then used McCarthy to give Class 6 students a chance to practice, leaving McCarthy begging for mercy as they began slicing pieces from him.

• The Class 6 students approached McCarthy with daggers, and he soon begged Qin Su to make them stop.

Qin Su directed the Federation forces to destroy the Ossotalia Empire’s transformed Living Dead army, offering supplies as rewards while Class 6 tortured McCarthy.

• Qin Su saw that people had been released from the Quarantine Zone and ordered the forces to leave before they could return to the supply collection point.

Qin Su divided the captured supplies among the squads and Leichakan, while the officers from other planets backed down after seeing McCarthy’s ruined condition. He then contacted Aldrich, revealed himself, and told him he could act as an undercover agent, leaving Aldrich stunned and the watching officers startled.

• Qin Su left McCarthy to the cleanup squads, reached the supply depot, divided the supplies by squad rankings, and announced the purchase location under Jiang Cheng’s name.

He ordered Class 6’s footage of Leichakan’s horrors to be shared widely, then turned his attention to Jeramied and the others.

• Qin Su reassured Aldrich, promised protection for his family, and explained that Jeramied and the others would witness and document his work.

• Qin Su agreed to handle StarNet’s likely censorship of the footage, dismissed He Muzhi, and asked Jeramied and the others whether they had seen everything clearly.

Qin Su let Jeramied and the other officers retreat after they pledged not to report what they had witnessed, then ordered the soldiers to gather at the quarantine zone and tasked Class 6 with publicizing footage of the Doom473 Virus atrocities.

• He Muzhi told Gallagher that Xuan Jingcheng had betrayed Leichakan and killed civilians, but admitted he had no physical evidence and cited Temple and Raymond as witnesses.

After Class 6 completed its mission to burn the Living Dead, Qin Su showed Leichakan’s leaders the destruction of Visana Town and proposed preserving it as a memorial site to fund rebuilding homes. He Muzhi learned that Qin Su had exposed Xuan Jingcheng’s treachery, then returned to reading information about him despite his earlier reluctance.

• Raymond broadcast his and He Muzhi’s account of killing Xuan Jingcheng, and rumors spread across the War Zone that He Muzhi had seduced him.

Class 6 rejected Gallagher’s dinner and used Qin Su’s plans to mobilize support for Visana’s survivors while Qin Su’s favorability and Life Points rose. After leaving Leichakan, Qin Su returned to the academy, refused a request to leave behind a Vaccine dose, and Aiseboer rushed after him with news that Planetary Military District Modified Humans were waiting outside.

• Gallagher brought dinner to Class 6, but Sophia questioned why Leichakan was only providing food to the Fourth Military Academy, and Class 6 declined it.

• After two more days on Leichakan, Qin Su led the Fourth Military Academy away, then returned to the Real World while Class 6 exchanged and compiled information during the journey.
• At the academy, Qin Su refused Aiseboer’s request to keep a Vaccine dose, and Aiseboer hurried after him after learning Modified Humans from the Planetary Military Districts were waiting outside.

Qin Su nervously passed through a crowd of Modified Humans sent by the Federation’s Military Districts to gauge his attitude, while secretly recording them. After the Military Districts kept their people at the Fourth Military Academy, Class 6 began investigating what had happened, and Qin Su told He Muzhi only that the visitors were “Humanoid weapons.”

• Qin Su recorded the Modified Humans waiting outside the landing site as he walked toward them, and Aiseboer warned him not to act rashly.

• After the landing site staff released Class 6 and the other classes, Sophia organized an investigation, and He Muzhi messaged Qin Su, who replied, “Humanoid weapons.”

Class 6 learned that Modified Humans had been sent to the Fourth Military Academy to investigate Qin Su, and they devised ways to keep them away from him. After several days of avoiding Qin Su and being thwarted by Class 6, the Modified Humans gathered at night and agreed to act together the next day.

• The Modified Humans gathered late at night, suspected Class 6 knew their intentions, and agreed to act with greater determination the next day rather than risk returning without results.

Winnie, Bu Qiu, and the other Modified Humans privately agreed not to attack Qin Su, while Qin Su prepared to deal with the Modified Humans at the S-l279 Training Ground using ghosts recruited from the Real World. The chapter ended as Class 6 watched from the training ground’s audience seats and the Modified Humans arrived, realizing they might be the ones in danger.

• Winnie told Bu Qiu and the other Modified Humans that the academy and Qin Su were allowing their private fights because they posed no threat, and she refused to join the planned attack.

• Qin Su waited as the Modified Humans entered the Training Ground, then the doors shut behind them and cut off their retreat.
• Song Zhengqing aimed his weapons at Qin Su, but Qin Su made the modified parts turn toward Song Zhengqing’s own group, causing the others to accuse him of betrayal.
• When the Modified Humans attacked together, Qin Su used the ghosts to take control of their bodies and redirect their weapons, while those who had not attacked were left free to move.
• Qin Su asked the attackers if they had anything to say, then sent orders to Class 6 and had its students form up around the immobilized Modified Humans.
• Qin Su invited anyone willing to follow his arrangements to tell a nearby Class 6 student they wanted to fill out an intention form, and several Modified Humans eagerly volunteered.

Qin Su forced the Modified Humans to submit, then left them with Class 6 for seven days while secretly monitoring their attempts to contact their Military Districts. Meanwhile, Aldrich helped Qin Su frame the Ossotalia Empire for attacks on virus research facilities, and Felix dragged a person with Qin Su’s replacement eyes away after another outburst.

• Qin Su made the Modified Humans scan his disguised code, gathered their Optical Brain credentials, and ordered them to remain at the Fourth Military Academy for seven days without contacting their Military Districts or Military Academies.

• Class 6 students and the Modified Humans grew more familiar as they followed the same schedule, talked, and argued about loyalty and their earlier attempt to frame one another.
• Aldrich revealed information about Federation virus-research facilities to Felix under Qin Su’s instructions, enabling the Ossotalia Empire to attack them while Qin Su and Aldrich arranged to destroy data and blame the empire.
• After learning that the attacks had yielded no useful virus data, Felix kicked over a wheelchair, then recognized its occupant’s replacement eyes and dragged the person outside.

He then brought Class 6 weapons designed to counter Modified Humans, and the chapter ended with He Muzhi asking whether they were meant for that purpose.

• Qin Su used alternate accounts to link the planets' deleted laboratory data to the Living Dead Virus, leading officials to deny the connection and reconsider restarting their experiments.

• Felix operated on a humanoid being, modifying its face and jaw with golden metal and admiring his creation.
• Qin Su had targeted weapons made for fighting Modified Humans and brought them to Class 6 for practice.
• After Class 6 students speculated that the weapons were meant for Modified Humans, He Muzhi asked Qin Su if that was their purpose, and Qin Su asked what he would do if they were.

He Muzhi struggled with Qin Su’s justification for preparing weapons against Modified Humans, while Qin Su saw them as potential threats and urged Class 6 to focus on training. As the term ended and the academy prepared for final deployments, Class 6 continued its secret weapons training and ignored renewed taunts from senior students.

• Qin Su explained that Modified Humans and Xuan Jingcheng posed no difference as potential dangers, but He Muzhi remained troubled by targeting Modified Humans after learning about their suffering.
