• Wang Jixuan revived Dragonfly Aunt with an oxygen mask and pills, then sent her to retrieve equipment data while he recovered his mana.
• Black Shell and the others overwhelmed the two Judgment Squads, while Wu Man and the Maid Group fought the Psionicists and Xing Tian remained unconscious.

• Black Shell collapsed sections of the passage to slow the newcomers, then ordered the others to fall back and said their reinforcements would arrive in forty minutes.

Wang Jixuan faced Meng Jin’s overwhelming ambush and found a way to escape by using Xing Tian’s weakened soul and body. He began a soul-transfer technique as the enemy forces neared the defenders.

• Meng Jin led more than a dozen S-Class Psionicists toward the trapped group, while Black Shell and the others prepared defenses and Wang Jixuan searched for a way to resist.
