Chapter Summaries

The Zombie King arrived riding a massive Bone Dragon and withstood the Guard Team’s Electromagnetic Energy Cannon barrage. After Li Chen lost control of the Tier 7 Flying Zombie, the Zombie King summoned a swarm of Flying Zombies, forcing Xu Ruoxi to retreat with Li Chen.

• The Zombie King appeared on a huge Bone Dragon and mocked the exhausted Li Chen from above.

• Xu Ruoxi ordered the soldiers to fire again, but the Bone Dragon climbed out of range of the concentrated barrage.
• The Zombie King gathered a swarm of Flying Zombies, and Xu Ruoxi carried Li Chen as she ordered everyone to retreat.

The Zombie King attacked the Star-Level Shelter with a swarm of Flying Zombies while Li Chen was badly injured and Xu Ruoxi tried to evacuate him. Watching the battle from the intensive care unit, Chewy Candy awakened a powerful force after seeing Li Chen under attack, as he reminded the Zombie King that the Seven-Day Agreement was still on its sixth day.

• The Zombie King sent tens of thousands of Flying Zombies against the ground forces, while the automated anti-air weapons and soldiers fought back.
• Xu Ruoxi carried the injured Li Chen behind a barricade, checked on the troops, and ordered them to cover his evacuation.
• The Zombie King sent the Flying Zombies diving at Xu Ruoxi and Li Chen as the Underground Command Center prepared to dispatch Android support.
• Chewy Candy woke in the intensive care unit, saw the battle footage, and heard shelter staff fear that Li Chen could not protect them.
• After the Flying Zombies' Sonic Attacks hurt people throughout the shelter, Chewy Candy felt a powerful force awaken inside her.
• Li Chen challenged the Zombie King over breaking their agreement before the seventh day, then coughed violently.

The Zombie King demanded that Li Chen return Chewy Candy and hand over the Crystal Coffin, then resumed his assault on the Star-Level Shelter. Chewy Candy appeared and offered to go with her brother if he spared the shelter, but he still demanded the Crystal Coffin.

• The Zombie King threatened to destroy the Star-Level Shelter unless Li Chen returned Chewy Candy and the Crystal Coffin.
• Li Chen accused the Zombie King of breaking the Seven-Day Agreement because the shelter had grown too strong, but the Zombie King ordered the Flying Zombies to attack again.
• Li Chen passed out from depleted Mental Power, and Xu Ruoxi confirmed that he was still breathing.
• Chewy Candy emerged from the underground entrance and told the Zombie King she would go with him if he sent the shelter warriors back.
• The Zombie King refused to leave without the Crystal Coffin and accused the humans of turning Chewy Candy against him.

The Zombie King attacked the humans over their connection to the Crystal Coffin, but Chewy Candy threatened him with a dagger to save them. He withdrew with Chewy Candy, leaving the Star-Level Shelter’s forces and the injured Li Chen and Xu Ruoxi alive until the next day.

• The Zombie King confronted Xu Ruoxi about the Crystal Coffin, and she detonated her Fifth Generation Electromagnetic Energy Cannon to keep him from reading her memories.
• The explosion badly injured Xu Ruoxi, while the Zombie King protected Chewy Candy and threatened to kill the humans for hurting her.
• Tens of thousands of Android Warriors emerged from the Star-Level Shelter, but Chewy Candy held a dagger to the Zombie King's throat and forced him to stop.
• The Zombie King agreed to spare the humans for the day and warned that the Seven-Day Agreement’s final day would come tomorrow.
• The Android Warriors carried Li Chen, Xu Ruoxi, and the others into the shelter, and Chewy Candy collapsed as the Zombie King caught her.

After the Zombie King took Chewy Candy away, Li Chen learned the Star-Level Shelter had won the battle at devastating cost and prepared for the final day of the Seven-Day Agreement. He collected the battle rewards and maxed out his Strength and Agility, while Xu Ruoxi remained in critical condition.

• The Zombie King crushed a steel dagger with his Mental Power, threatened the Bone Dragon, and flew away with Chewy Candy on its back.
• Li Chen woke more than five hours after the battle and learned Chewy Candy had gone willingly with the Zombie King to save the others; the Star-Level Shelter had suffered more than ten thousand soldier and Android Warrior casualties.
• Li Chen visited Xu Ruoxi, who was still in emergency treatment, and urged the awakened Dang Zhongcheng to rest.
• Li Chen asked Noah to show the battle rewards, then received Energy Crystal Cores, Evolution Energy, and a Super Deluxe Gift Pack.
• Li Chen saw that his Evolution Energy was still short of the ten billion needed to evolve Level 3 Regeneration, so he raised his Strength and Agility to their maximum levels.

Li Chen maxed out his attributes and completed Level 7 Gene Evolution, gaining a mysterious talent displayed as “???”. Meanwhile, the Corpse King took the injured Chewy Candy to be treated, and human leaders prepared troops to attack the Star-Level Shelter in Donghai City.

• Li Chen spent Evolution Energy to max out his attributes, then used 5 billion Evolution Energy to begin Level 7 Gene Evolution.
• The Corpse King brought the injured Chewy Candy to an underground laboratory and ordered the white-coated staff to operate on her there.
• Officials at a large underground Experimental Base discussed recovering the Corpse King and Chewy Candy, and a man in a black military uniform said troops would reach Donghai City before sunset to deal with the Star-Level Shelter.
• Li Chen endured an hour of painful bodily changes before completing Level 7 Gene Evolution and receiving a mysterious talent marked “???”.

After reaching Gene Evolution Level 7, Li Chen examined his increased attributes and discovered a new inactive talent. He decided to spend Evolution Energy evolving Psychic Wave, hoping to strengthen his mental abilities and learn from the Zombie King's force field.

• Li Chen checked his Attribute Panel and saw that his attributes now started at 360, their maximum had risen to 500, and a new inactive talent had appeared.
• Li Chen concluded that the new talent would activate only after he became strong enough, as Psychic Wave had before.
• Li Chen considered maxing out his attributes but chose to improve Psychic Wave first, recalling that he had failed to overpower a Tier 7 Zombie before the Zombie King arrived.
• Noah told Li Chen that evolving Psychic Wave from Level 0 to Level 1 would cost 1.5 billion Evolution Energy.
• Li Chen accepted the high cost and tapped Psychic Wave Evolution to begin its first evolution.

Li Chen evolved his Psychic Wave talent to Level 1 and discovered that his Mental Power could damage the Star-Level Shelter’s defenses. Noah reassured him that the Super Energy Biological Defense Barrier protected the shelter, then explained that Li Chen’s abilities remained unimpressive by planetary and universal standards.

• Li Chen spent 1.5 billion Evolution Energy to raise his Psychic Wave talent to Level 1 and carved a deep mark into the Protective Door with his Mental Power.
• Li Chen worried that powerful zombies could use Mental Power to attack the Star-Level Shelter, but Noah said the Super Energy Biological Defense Barrier would protect it for a projected one million years.
• Li Chen asked Noah about aliens, and Noah described extraterrestrial beings with extraordinary physical strength, elemental abilities, Mental Power, or defenses.
• Li Chen asked how his Mental Power ranked in the universe, and Noah said it was insignificant by universal standards.
• Li Chen explored his Mental Power inside the shelter, realizing he could sense and control its occupants and objects but could not break through the Super Energy Biological Defense Barrier.
• Noah told Li Chen that his Mental Power was not even the strongest on Earth and remained within the evolutionary limit of a Level 0.5 Civilization.

Li Chen maxed out his attributes and discovered that the Super Energy Biological Defense Barrier could reflect powerful mental attacks, while the expected Zombie Tide had not appeared. As the Zombie King sensed an approaching danger in the Underground Abandoned Laboratory, a massive explosion rocked the facility.

• Li Chen learned that evolving Psychic Wave to Tier 2 required 7.5 billion Evolution Energy and twenty Tier 7 Energy Crystal Cores, which he could not obtain.
• Noah confirmed that the Seven-Day Agreement had reached its final day but reported no signs of a Zombie Tide outbreak.
• Li Chen spent 700 million Evolution Energy to maximize his five attributes and found that the Super Energy Biological Defense Barrier reflected his stronger mental attack.
• Li Chen opened his System Backpack to check his super gift pack.
• The Zombie King sensed danger in the Underground Abandoned Laboratory, looked toward the unconscious Chewy Candy and the creature beside him, and an enormous explosion struck the facility.

Li Chen’s Star-Level Shelter withstood a powerful earthquake, though ground forces suffered casualties and equipment damage. Noah’s footage then revealed the Corpse King being driven back by an unidentified human force near an abandoned laboratory, leaving Li Chen uncertain who they were.

• Noah warned Li Chen that a magnitude 7.5 earthquake was about to strike, and Li Chen prepared for the shockwave.
• The shelter survived with only minor armor damage, but Noah reported 175 casualties and damaged surface equipment, so Li Chen ordered aid and status reports.
• Li Chen asked Noah to locate the shallow earthquake’s source, and its projection revealed a zombie-filled site about 135 kilometers away.
• Noah showed footage of the Corpse King riding a badly damaged Bone Dragon while holding Chewy Candy and fighting a human force.
• The humans drove the Corpse King’s forces back and pursued him as he tried to escape, but Noah could not identify the combatants.

Li Chen watched a mysterious force attack the Zombie King and learned that missiles had driven it from the Abandoned Laboratory. He suspected the Zombie King had betrayed Hua Ju Laboratory, but feared the conflict posed an even greater threat to humanity.

• Li Chen suspected Hua Ju Laboratory or another hidden force was attacking the Zombie King, and Noah lost the satellite signal before reconnecting to the battle footage.
• Li Chen watched the mysterious humans destroy the remaining zombies around the Abandoned Laboratory and learned their missile strike had caused the earthquake.
• Li Chen worried about the unconscious Chewy Candy and asked Noah why the attackers had targeted the Zombie King.
• Noah urged Li Chen to consider the Zombie King's origins, leading Li Chen to recall how it had spared the Star-Level Shelter and made the Seven-Day Agreement.
• Li Chen concluded that the Zombie King and Hua Ju Laboratory had likely fallen out, but feared the conflict signaled a greater danger.

Li Chen considered the continuing zombie threat and suspected Hua Ju Laboratory was spying on Star-Level Shelter, so he ordered Noah to locate the Zombie King and assess the shelter’s defenses. Meanwhile, Hua Ju Laboratory officers studied Star-Level Shelter’s blueprint and discussed capturing its advanced AI rather than attacking it with missiles.

• Li Chen concluded that the Zombie King might not control every zombie and that Hua Ju Laboratory could pose a threat to Star-Level Shelter.
• Li Chen asked Noah to track the Zombie King, but Noah found no clues to his location.
• Li Chen ordered Noah to assess the human troops’ threat and test Star-Level Shelter’s ability to withstand missile attacks.
• Hua Ju Laboratory officers examined Star-Level Shelter’s blueprint and recognized its extensive underground facilities and strong defenses.
• The officers said they could not attack Star-Level Shelter with missiles because their superiors wanted to obtain its advanced Artificial Intelligence system.

The Corpse King led the Flying Zombies in a surprise assault on human troops hidden in the jungle, while Li Chen learned about the Star-Level Shelter’s resistance to thermal weapons and the limits of its defense barrier. He prepared to check the Super Deluxe Gift Pack and asked Noah whether the shop offered anything to counter such threats.

• A dark-skinned officer briefed the other officers on the Star-Level Shelter’s population, forces, and weapons before an air-raid alarm interrupted them.
• The Corpse King attacked the concealed troops from atop the Skeletal Dragon, and thousands of Flying Zombies joined the assault.
• Li Chen reviewed Noah’s report and learned the Star-Level Shelter could withstand a three-million-ton TNT-equivalent strike, with greater endurance possible at a cost to its population and productivity.
• Noah warned Li Chen not to underestimate unknown enemy weapons and explained that the Super Energy Biological Defense Barrier was not designed to stop thermal weapons.
• Li Chen decided to inspect the Super Deluxe Gift Pack and asked Noah whether the shop had anything that could deal with the threat.

Li Chen opened the Super Deluxe Gift Pack and received 5 billion Evolution Energy points and ten Level 7 Energy Crystal Cores. He weighed evolving Regeneration to Tier 3 against upgrading Psychic Wave, then Noah recommended prioritizing Regeneration for its Zombie Virus immunity and Cell-Level Regeneration.

• Li Chen opened the Super Deluxe Gift Pack and received Evolution Energy, Energy Crystal Cores, and an additional Star-Level Shelter enhancement attempt.
• Li Chen counted his new total of 12 billion Evolution Energy points and realized he still lacked ten Level 7 Energy Crystal Cores to upgrade Psychic Wave.
• Li Chen considered evolving Regeneration to Tier 3, which would give him Cell-Level Regeneration and immunity to the Zombie Virus, instead of pursuing stronger Psychic Wave.
• Li Chen asked Noah for advice, and Noah recommended enhancing Regeneration first to protect Li Chen and the Star-Level Shelter from the Zombie Virus.

Li Chen evolved his Regeneration Talent to Tier 3 and discovered that the human body contained a miniature universe. After Noah explained humanity’s hidden potential, Li Chen completed his evolution with cell-level regeneration and full immunity to Zombie Viruses, then noticed his mysterious seventh-level talent was still unidentified.

• Li Chen spent ten billion Evolution Energy to evolve his Regeneration Talent and witnessed his body’s cells as a miniature universe.
• Noah explained that every human contained a Small Universe and that Hua Ju Laboratory was experimenting to unlock humanity’s hidden potential.
• Li Chen recalled that humans had learned of the Small Universe thousands of years earlier and watched the stars within his body fade into darkness.
• Li Chen regained consciousness as Noah confirmed his Tier 3 Cell-Level Regeneration, complete Zombie Virus immunity, and improved physical condition.
• Li Chen checked his Attribute Panel, saw his new regeneration ability, and questioned why his seventh-level talent remained a question mark.

Li Chen wondered why his mysterious talent remained inactive, then learned that three days had passed while he evolved. After discovering that his Regeneration Power could heal others, he used it to treat Xu Ruoxi and Dang Zhongcheng, leaving his own strength and Mental Power draining away.

• Li Chen questioned why his mysterious talent remained marked with a question mark despite his recent evolutions and maxed attributes.
• Noah warned that mysterious armed personnel were approaching the Star-Level Shelter, and Li Chen ordered the troops to prepare.
• Xu Ruoxi and Dang Zhongcheng contacted Li Chen after waking, and Noah revealed that he had spent three days evolving in his room.
• Li Chen visited the recovering pair and learned that Xu Ruoxi had nearly died protecting him from the Corpse King.
• Li Chen used his Level 3 Regeneration Power to heal Xu Ruoxi and Dang Zhongcheng, while his physical strength and Mental Power rapidly dwindled.

Li Chen used his Regeneration Power to fully heal Dang Zhongcheng and Xu Ruoxi, restoring Xu Ruoxi's face without scars. After refusing to let the two newly healed commanders accompany him, he checked the enemy situation and found no signs of weapons of mass destruction.

• Li Chen exhausted some of his strength and Mental Power while healing Dang Zhongcheng and Xu Ruoxi, restoring both of them completely.
• Xu Ruoxi saw that her injuries and scars were gone, thanked Li Chen, and regained her strength.
• Dang Zhongcheng and Xu Ruoxi offered to join Li Chen, but he ordered them to stay behind while he investigated the enemy forces.
• Li Chen told the other commanders to wait, then asked Noah to scan for weapons of mass destruction.
• Noah expanded the holographic map, and Li Chen found no missiles targeting the Star-Level Shelter, leaving him puzzled.

Li Chen discovered that a silent, heavily armed force had surrounded the Star-Level Shelter and sent troops out to confront them. Meanwhile, several fleeing survivors led a huge horde of human and animal zombies toward the shelter, hoping to find safety there.

• Li Chen received reports that roughly three thousand unidentified troops were encircling the Star-Level Shelter and deploying reconnaissance drones.
• Li Chen ordered the drones shot down and led three hundred artificial human guards toward the approaching enemy force.
• Electromagnetic Energy Cannons destroyed the enemy drones as Li Chen's vehicles moved out from the shelter.
• Several young people fled through a forest while firing at a pursuing threat, and the ground shook as trees toppled behind them.
• Tens of thousands of fast-moving human and animal zombies emerged from the forest and pursued the fleeing survivors.
• The survivors decided to follow the railway toward the Star-Level Shelter, hoping to lead the zombies there and find safety.

A horde of young men fled a massive zombie swarm, hoping to lure it toward the Star-Level Shelter. Meanwhile, the newly risen, Flame Marked zombies of Final Land submitted to their suited leader, who planned to move on to Donghai City.

• The young men threw Pineapple Grenades at the pursuing horde and ran toward the Star-Level Shelter, which was still over a hundred kilometers away.
• The survivors in Final Land were slaughtered, then rose again as fiery red, Flame Marked zombies.
• Gorilla grew stronger by eating newly mutated zombies and made the others kneel before him.
• The suited zombie appeared, reprimanded Gorilla for roaring, and reminded him that civilized zombies should not attack humans or their own kind casually.
• The low-level zombies obeyed the suited zombie, who announced that they had conquered Luofu City and would next go to Donghai City.

Zhao Feng’s forces surrounded the Star-Level Shelter and awaited Li Chen while Zhao Feng abused the women serving him. At the East Sea, Bewitchment reported that Hua Ju Laboratory’s improved Second Generation zombies were far stronger than expected, leaving the Zombie King to consider the threat as Chewy Candy remained unconscious.

• Zhao Feng ordered his troops to surround the Star-Level Shelter, told them not to attack, and waited to meet Li Chen.
• Zhao Feng slapped and berated a young woman, then forced the women with him to wipe his sweat while his soldiers looked on silently.
• Shura reported that the Zombie King’s forces numbered 130,000, including 3,507 Tier 7 zombies, while Chewy Candy remained unconscious.
• Bewitchment returned and told the Zombie King that Hua Ju Laboratory had prepared improved Second Generation zombies as replacements for their forces.
• Bewitchment said a Tier 4 improved zombie had lifted an object weighing several hundred tons, and Shura mocked her claim before she explained that their Tier 4 zombies matched the strength of her side’s Tier 6 zombies.
