Chapter Summaries

After a five-hour meeting, Li Chen approved the Super Bulwark construction plan and set the start date for two days later. He learned that Guiyi Island was in danger and that foreign forces were moving against it, but decided the Star-Level Shelter should watch and wait until construction was complete.

• More than two thousand experts finalized the construction plan and chose Wu Maike as chief engineer.
• Wu Maike said construction could begin in two days so he could conduct another site inspection, and Li Chen approved the schedule.
• Dang Zhongcheng told Li Chen that a person had been detained and that Guiyi Island’s defenses were weak and some forces had begun taking action there.
• Dang Zhongcheng identified the Land of the Rising Sun and other forces as potential threats, but Li Chen said they should watch and wait while the Super Bulwark was built.
• Li Chen explained that the global threat of Third Generation Zombies left other forces little capacity to invade, and Dang Zhongcheng asked whether they should help their compatriots overseas.

Li Chen assigned Dang Zhongcheng to assess survivors on Guiyi Island and Fragrant Island, while a Hua Ju Laboratory team arrived in Africa to recover a Third Generation Zombie skeleton. After the Star-Level Shelter detected them and completed production of new aircraft, Li Chen set out to test a tactical bomber and confront the team.

• Li Chen told Dang Zhongcheng that the Star-Level Shelter could not take on multiple enemies, then tasked him with investigating Guiyi Island and arranging the relocation of compatriots, while also checking on Fragrant Island.
• A transport plane arrived over the African battlefield, where its crew confirmed safe radiation levels and parachuted down to recover Third Generation Zombie remains and mysterious energy cubes.
• The battlefield's recording equipment sent images and footage to the Star-Level Shelter, and Li Chen learned that a likely Hua Ju Laboratory team of elite mercenaries was trying to remove the zombie skeleton.
• Li Chen decided to act after the first JF-66 Super Stealth Fighters and X97-001 Type Tactical Bombers were completed, then headed to Africa to test a bomber and confront Hua Ju Laboratory.

Li Chen boarded a massive Tactical Bomber and used Noah to instantly learn how to operate aircraft, then piloted it out of its hangar. The bomber rose toward the surface as the Star-Level Shelter trembled and opened a passage above.

• Li Chen told the Air Force Expert he would take the Tactical Bomber out himself and refused an assigned crew.
• Li Chen entered the cockpit and asked Noah to upload the information needed to operate aircraft.
• Noah transferred the piloting knowledge into Li Chen’s mind, and Li Chen began operating the bomber manually.
• The Air Force Expert and nearby air force personnel watched in disbelief as Li Chen started the bomber and rolled it out of the hangar.
• The Star-Level Shelter opened a circular passage, and an elevator platform carried the Super Tactical Bomber toward the surface.

Li Chen raced toward the Feizhou battlefield after learning Hua Ju Laboratory’s mercenaries were trying to recover both the Third Generation Zombie Skeleton and the Super Metal Cubes. Noah explained the skeleton’s importance, and a five-hour mission warned Li Chen that failing to stop the recovery would cost him ten percent of his Energy Crystal Cores; meanwhile, the mercenaries prepared to haul away the skeleton and examined a cube.

• Li Chen launched the Tactical Bomber toward Feizhou and asked Noah what was unusual about the Third Generation Zombie Skeleton.
• The Star-Level Shelter’s Underground Command Center reported that Hua Ju Laboratory’s mercenaries were targeting the Super Metal Cubes as well as the skeleton.
• Noah explained that the skeleton contained extensive genetic information and the Third Generation Zombies’ Energy Crystal Cores, then a time-limited mission tasked Li Chen with stopping Hua Ju Laboratory from recovering it.
• Li Chen checked the Mission Panel and found he had five hours to complete the mission before losing ten percent of his Energy Crystal Cores.
• On the Feizhou battlefield, the mercenaries fastened steel cables to the skeleton and found the buried Super Metal Cubes.
• Bull prepared to test whether he could lift a Super Metal Cube as Benjamin doubted he could move it.

Bull activated his Adrenaline Release talent and grew into a towering, powerful mercenary as his team prepared to seize the Super Metal Cube. Xu Ruoxi warned Li Chen about the threat, but he continued toward the battlefield, confident in his stealth bomber and mental powers.

• Bull’s teammates mocked him for trying to lift the Super Metal Cube and bet that he would fail.
• Bull activated Adrenaline Release, rapidly growing to several meters tall as his strength and energy continued to rise.
• Xu Ruoxi watched the mercenaries’ power increase on the Star-Level Shelter’s surveillance feed and worried about Li Chen’s solo mission.
• Xu Ruoxi contacted Li Chen and warned him that the mercenaries intended to take the Super Metal Cube.
• Li Chen viewed the footage and reassured Xu Ruoxi that his stealth bomber and mental powers would handle the threat.

Li Chen dismissed the mercenaries in Africa as no threat, while Xu Ruoxi decided to go support him and left Dang Zhongcheng to oversee the shelter. Meanwhile, Zhu DaWen met with visitors from the Land of the Rising Sun on Guiyi Island to discuss their proposed cooperation and terms.

• Li Chen explained that he believed he was the strongest human outside the Shadow Organization, which he suspected had been left behind by the Noah Civilization.
• Xu Ruoxi worried about Li Chen facing at least eighty mercenaries in Africa and set out to support him.
• Dang Zhongcheng agreed to stay behind, watch the people from Province A, and manage the situation on Guiyi Island.
• On Guiyi Island, visitors from the Land of the Rising Sun arrived unarmed at an abandoned industrial base and were searched by Zhu DaWen's soldiers.
• Zhu DaWen demanded that the visitors prove their sincerity, and they pointed to what they had brought before asking whether he had considered their terms.

Zhu DaWen agreed to trade 100,000 people over sixty for Sunrise Country’s Tall mechanized battle suits, then learned that He Guozhong had gone to seek help. Near the African battlefield, Bull grabbed the Super Metal Cube with both hands, but the chapter ended before he moved it.

• Zhu DaWen offered Sunrise Country 100,000 people over sixty in exchange for its technology.
• The Sunrise Country visitors transformed a portable cabinet into an eight-meter mechanized suit called Tall, codenamed Savior 001, and promised 100 more after receiving the people.
• Zhu DaWen accepted the deal, then learned He Guozhong had left without authorization and ordered his men to investigate and seize the participants’ families.
• Xu Ruoxi led ten Combat Squads toward the African battlefield while Li Chen approached its core area and watched the footage.
• Bull grew to about fifteen meters tall, challenged his teammates to honor their bets, and grabbed the Super Metal Cube with both hands.

Bull used his Adrenaline Release talent to lift a Super Metal Cube, astonishing the mercenaries and the Star-Level Shelter’s command center. Sun Shengli revealed that the cube weighed five thousand tons, and the commanders recognized Bull’s strength as a serious development.

• Bull gripped the Super Metal Cube with both hands as the ground shook and cracked beneath him.
• Bull heaved the cube higher, lifting it clear of the ground despite its enormous weight.
• The mercenaries reacted with shock, and Benjamin admitted Bull’s strength was impressive.
• A company commander watching from a distance canceled the request for engineering support and suggested sending a larger Transport Plane instead.
• At the Star-Level Shelter, Sun Shengli told Dang Zhongcheng and the other commanders that each Super Metal Cube weighed five thousand tons.
• The commanders called for Bull’s feat to be reported to the Commander.

Li Chen arrived over the African battlefield in the Super Tactical Bomber and began attacking the mercenaries who were taking Star-Level Shelter’s property. After the bomber destroyed an enemy transport plane and struck Victory Bull with a missile, the giant mercenary was buried beneath the Super Metal Cube he had tried to use as a shield.

• Dang Zhongcheng informed Xu Ruoxi that the mercenaries could lift Super Metal Cubes weighing over five thousand tons, and Xu Ruoxi warned Li Chen about their strength.
• Li Chen reached the battlefield in the Super Tactical Bomber and activated its automated combat system.
• The bomber destroyed a Hercules I Super Large Transport Plane, causing the mercenaries to scatter for cover.
• Victory Bull stayed behind with the Super Metal Cube, demanding that Benjamin admit defeat, while Benjamin and Miles urged him to flee.
• A missile struck the cube Victory Bull raised as a shield, blasting him backward and crushing him beneath it.

Li Chen’s bombardment devastated the Feizhou Plains, and Victory Bull feared his companions had been killed. He unleashed the life-draining second stage of Adrenaline Release, threw a Super Metal Cube at Li Chen’s bomber, and faced another missile attack.

• Victory Bull was pinned beneath the Super Metal Cube as Li Chen’s missiles and electromagnetic cannons bombarded the plains.
• Victory Bull shouted for Captain, Benjamin, and Miles, fearing they had died in the explosions.
• Li Chen’s radar detected Victory Bull as a high-energy lifeform, and the bomber returned to the blast zone.
• Victory Bull activated the second stage of Adrenaline Release, grew beyond twenty meters, and shoved the cube away.
• Victory Bull detected Li Chen’s position and hurled the five-thousand-ton Super Metal Cube at the bomber.
• Li Chen’s bomber dodged the cube and launched super missiles at Victory Bull.

Li Chen used the Super Tactical Bomber to annihilate most of Hua Ju Laboratory’s mercenaries, then discovered that some had survived and transformed into powerful orc-like beings. He launched another attack as Xu Ruoxi headed to the battlefield to recover the Super Metal Cubes and a Third Generation Zombie’s remains.

• The Star-Level Shelter’s commanders and soldiers watched Li Chen’s bomber defeat the mercenaries, then saw a giant mercenary survive and hurl a Super Metal Cube before Li Chen counterattacked.
• Xu Ruoxi and Dang Zhongcheng agreed to recover the Super Metal Cubes, while Li Chen ordered Xu Ruoxi to bring back a Third Generation Zombie’s remains and set out to find more targets.
• The bomber’s radar detected high-energy life signs among the burning battlefield, where surviving mercenaries had transformed into orc-like forms and one absorbed the remaining flames.
• Li Chen found that only about a third of the roughly ninety mercenaries had survived the bombardment and ordered the bomber to attack the remaining thirty-plus targets.

Li Chen’s bombing failed to defeat the mercenaries, whose shared energy shield protected them, and a powerful zombie breached his bomber. As the aircraft fell in flames with Li Chen’s fate unknown, Xu Ruoxi and the Star-Level Shelter’s commanders watched in alarm, and Dang Zhongcheng rushed out to respond.

• Li Chen realized that a tall, skinny half-orc mercenary created a shield that the other mercenaries strengthened with their energy, protecting them from his missiles.
• A super-high-energy lifeform struck through the Super Tactical Bomber’s top armor and let Third Generation Zombies pour inside.
• Xu Ruoxi learned from Dang Zhongcheng that the mercenaries had survived and were attacking Li Chen, then reported that she had reached the battlefield.
• The Super Tactical Bomber fell in flames as Third Generation Zombies swarmed it, while Li Chen did not answer Dang Zhongcheng’s calls.
• Dang Zhongcheng ordered someone to hold the fort and disappeared as he rushed out.

After Third Generation Zombies destroyed Li Chen’s bomber, Dang Zhongcheng vanished from the Underground Command Center to search for him, leaving the Star-Level Shelter and its allies fearing for Li Chen’s life. The First and Second Generation Zombie Kings realized that an infected Li Chen could become a powerful Third Generation Zombie and debated whether to change their plans.

• Dang Zhongcheng used his innate ability and disappeared from the Underground Command Center after Li Chen’s bomber was destroyed.
• The Star-Level Shelter’s residents grieved and prayed for Li Chen, while scientists from Province A continued their mission to build Super Bulwark defenses across Province Y.
• Zhao Fenghua explained that the Third Generation Zombies had attacked Li Chen’s bomber because they remembered the earlier bombing and recognized its danger.
• The First and Second Generation Zombie Kings watched the Feizhou battlefield and considered whether Li Chen had been killed or infected.
• The Second Generation Zombie King concluded that an infected Li Chen could become a seventh-tier Third Generation Zombie, then proposed that they wipe out the remaining human survivors.

The Second Generation Zombie King urged the First Generation Zombie King to either assimilate the remaining human survivors or attack the Third Generation Zombies in Feizhou. The First Generation Zombie King rejected the plans, and their disagreement left the Second Generation Zombie King angry and seemingly ready to leave.

• The Second Generation Zombie King proposed assimilating the remaining human survivors before the Third Generation Zombies could claim them.
• The First Generation Zombie King rejected that plan, saying they did not know whether Li Chen had been assimilated or killed.
• The Second Generation Zombie King proposed traveling to Feizhou and wiping out the Third Generation Zombies, while secretly intending to assimilate the continent’s survivors into his own forces.
• The First Generation Zombie King questioned whether Feizhou held far more Third Generation Zombies than expected and refused to approve the plan.
• The Second Generation Zombie King accused the First Generation Zombie King of making him wait for death, and the First Generation Zombie King realized he was using the dispute as an excuse to leave.

The First Generation Zombie King rejected the Second Generation Zombie King’s renewed hostility toward humanity, and the two parted as enemies. Meanwhile, masked figures in an underground city discussed Li Chen’s possible alien connections and the damage to their Third Generation Zombie virus production.

• The First Generation Zombie King told the Second Generation Zombie King he would oppose any return to war, while the Second Generation Zombie King dismissed his ideals as childish.

• A woman asked whether the remaining Third Generation Zombie viruses had been produced, and a subordinate explained that an escaping Experimental Subject had damaged the equipment.

A woman in black ordered the Men in Black to contain a Third Generation Zombie outbreak and deploy the new virus near the Star-Level Laboratory once it was ready. A female captain then told her five space-based team members they had been ordered to rescue Li Chen, leaving them stunned and asking why they had been chosen.

• The woman in black demanded an exact timeline for handling the fallen testing base, where roughly 250,000 people were trapped amid the Third Generation Zombie outbreak.
• She ordered the Men in Black to finish the new Third Generation Zombie virus and deploy it near the Star-Level Laboratory as soon as it was ready.

• A bespectacled team member asked the captain why their team had been selected.

A Shadow Organization squad departed from space to rescue Li Chen, while he battled a growing horde of Third Generation Zombies aboard a crashing bomber. After destroying several with his mental power, Li Chen faced an even larger wave in midair.

• The beautiful captain explained that the Council of Elders had ordered the Shadow squad to rescue Li Chen because he and his Star-Level Shelter were among the few capable of fighting Third Generation Zombies.
• The squad equipped itself with black armor, Electromagnetic Energy Weapons, and Earth-emblem shields, then launched from space toward Li Chen's coordinates.
• Li Chen fought seven or eight Third Generation Zombies inside the falling Super Tactical Bomber and endured a bite thanks to his Level 3 Regeneration Talent.
• Li Chen unleashed his mental power, destroying the minds of nearly ten zombies, but attracted more attackers who treated him as a candidate for Zombie King.
• As the bomber wreckage failed under the growing horde, Li Chen hovered with his mental power, drew his Tier 3 Lightsaber, and challenged the zombies.

Li Chen survived the Third Generation Zombies’ assault and used his Mental Power to destroy their airborne attackers before escaping with Xu Ruoxi. He detonated the Super Tactical Bomber’s Nuclear Fusion Reactor, wiping out the zombies within a hundred kilometers and leaving a mushroom cloud over the battlefield.

• Xu Ruoxi watched the Third Generation Zombies overwhelm the Hua Ju Laboratory mercenaries and feared Li Chen had died in his burning bomber.
• Li Chen appeared in midair and used his Mental Power to crush more than thirty Third Generation Zombies into one mass.
• Li Chen collected the Energy Crystal Cores, escaped the battlefield, and joined Xu Ruoxi aboard the Super Transport Plane.
• Li Chen flew the Super Transport Plane 150 kilometers away and detonated the bomber’s Nuclear Fusion Reactor with his Mental Power.
• Xu Ruoxi and the others felt the blast shake their plane, then saw the mushroom cloud rising over the battlefield.

Li Chen’s explosion destroyed many Third Generation Zombies, but powerful survivors remained, and six mysterious figures arrived to support him. Meanwhile, Dang Zhongcheng was stranded in an overseas city under zombie siege, and Li Chen learned that his new arrivals came from the Shadow Organization.

• Li Chen sensed that several Third Generation Zombies had survived the explosion, then ordered Xu Ruoxi to retrieve the remaining Super Metal Cubes as he flew to confront six powerful presences.
• Dang Zhongcheng, unable to travel farther after exhausting his Mental Power, fought zombies in an overseas city and found himself surrounded atop the First Building.
• A six-person rescue team from the Shadow Organization saw the explosion as they flew toward Feizhou and continued to the battlefield.
• Li Chen met the six armored newcomers, whose leader said they had been ordered to support him, though they believed he had already resolved the danger.

Li Chen met the Shadow Organization’s combat squad after it arrived to help with the danger, which he had already handled. The squad left him a communicator and warned him that Dang Zhongcheng had been in danger, while Noah revealed that their technology could bypass the Star-Level Shelter’s network defenses.

• Li Chen recognized the six powerful rescuers as members of the Shadow Organization, and their captain, Leng Ruoshuang, confirmed their identity.
• Li Chen declined the squad’s offer of help, but accepted a communicator from Leng Ruoshuang in case he needed their assistance later.
• Leng Ruoshuang sent Li Chen a data projection identifying Dang Zhongcheng as a Star-Level Shelter official who had been in danger.
• The Shadow Organization’s squad departed, and Li Chen asked Noah how Leng Ruoshuang had transmitted data to his isolated device.
• Noah explained that the Shadow Organization used Level 1.5 Universe Civilization Super Energy Quantum Network Technology, which allowed data exchange despite distance and restrictions.
