Chapter Summaries

Li Chen planned to expose Hua Ju Laboratory by recording evidence with Noah, then followed two scientists deeper into the facility to learn about its secret project and possibly find the Shadow Organization members. After reaching the laboratory’s lowest level, he predicted Mo Yue’s search party with his Small Universe Sixth Sense and avoided them, but a piercing howl interrupted the scientists as they proceeded past a heavily secured checkpoint.

• Li Chen asked Noah to livestream the laboratory, learned it could not transmit from the isolated network, and told it to record everything for later release.
• Noah explained that it had recorded every event since awakening and bonding with Li Chen, and the elevator reached Hua Ju Laboratory’s headquarters 1,180 meters underground.
• Li Chen used his Small Universe Sixth Sense to predict Mo Yue and her monsters searching for him, then concealed himself and chose not to confront them.
• Li Chen followed two scientists after recalling that Doctor Gult had gathered the researchers for a major project.
• The scientists passed strict inspections, changed into protective work suits, and heard a piercing, miserable howl.

Li Chen watched from the ceiling as armed personnel forced a crowd of scientists toward an assembly point after strange roars echoed through the underground laboratory. Doctor Chen challenged the squad captain, but he backed down after the captain destroyed his identification card and fired at the ceiling.

• A shrill howl startled Li Chen, two scientists, and a crowd of newcomers in the underground corridor, while Patrol Teams dismissed it as a minor accident.
• Scientists worried over the howls and the laboratory’s experiments until an armed squad ordered them to the assembly point at gunpoint.
• Doctor Chen confronted the squad captain and demanded to know what was happening, while the other scientists recognized him as a renowned scientist.
• The captain tore up Doctor Chen’s identification card, threatened the crowd, and fired his Electromagnetic Energy Cannon into the ceiling.
• Doctor Chen suppressed his anger and led the scientists out of the corridor as the captain continued threatening them.

Li Chen followed the scientists as they discovered that Hua Ju Laboratory was creating monstrous creatures through gene-fusion experiments. After the footage stirred greater resistance among the scientists, Li Chen ordered Noah to record the evidence, and an aged voice suddenly echoed through the passageway.

• The scientists questioned Doctor Chen about Gurt's gathering, and Doctor Chen urged them onward, saying the laboratory's sealed sections were safe.
• Roars and a powerful energy fluctuation frightened the scientists, so Doctor Chen used a wall console to show surveillance footage from the Production Areas.
• The footage revealed imprisoned creatures created through gene-fusion experiments, including zombies mutated into monsters.
• The scientists grew more resistant to continuing, while Li Chen ordered Noah to record the footage and expose Hua Ju Laboratory's activities to the world.
• A slightly aged voice suddenly echoed through the passageway.

Doctor Gurt revealed data showing that five Shadow Organization members had lived for thousands of years and invited the assembled scientists to witness the experiments. As Doctor Chen led the scientists onward, Mo Yue searched the laboratory with ten Dinosaur Guard troops for Li Chen.

• Doctor Gurt assured the scientists that the Experimental Subjects were controlled and showed them scans of five people whose average age exceeded seven thousand years.
• Li Chen asked Noah about the data, and Noah identified it as full-body scans of the five captured Shadow Organization members.
• Doctor Chen led interested scientists toward the Experimental Subjects, suspecting that Hua Ju Laboratory concealed a deeper purpose and recalling that a woman had changed its rules.
• Patrol Team members pressured reluctant scientists into following Doctor Chen.
• Mo Yue led ten Dinosaur Guard troops in a search for Li Chen.

Mo Yue searched for Li Chen after he infiltrated Hua Ju Laboratory Headquarters, but her guards and the mothership’s detection radar could not locate him. When Ma Gudian revealed that Doctor Gurt was preparing to operate on the five captured Shadow Organization members, Mo Yue ordered the laboratory sealed and placed on full alert.

• Mo Yue ordered her Dinosaur Guards to search for Li Chen while keeping Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor with her.
• Mo Yue asked the Star Destroyer Mothership to use its Energy Detection Radar, but its crew said they were too busy fighting the Shadow Organization.
• Ma Gudian told Mo Yue that Doctor Gurt and the scientists were gathering in the Central Hall to operate on the five captured Shadow Organization members.
• Mo Yue ordered Ma Gudian to take her to the Central Hall and instructed the laboratory to seal its exits, activate the strongest electric grid, and enter Level One Alert.

After Mo Yue ordered a security sweep, Li Chen followed the scientists to the Central Hall while remaining invisible. Doctor Gurt presented footage and data about the captured Ancient Earthlings to the gathered scientists, as Li Chen tried to locate Gurt without alerting Mo Yue.

• Ma Gudian relayed Mo Yue's orders, triggering alarms and a stricter identity check throughout Hua Ju Laboratory Headquarters.
• Li Chen stayed hidden above the scientists and followed them through a passageway to the Central Hall.
• Doctor Chen and the other verified scientists entered the hall, where scientists and armed Patrol Team members had gathered from multiple passages.
• Doctor Gurt addressed the scientists, explaining that he had recalled those on vacation or receiving psychological treatment to study the Ancient Earthlings and their longevity.
• The Central Hall screens showed footage and examination data from the five captured Shadow Organization members, captivating the scientists.
• Li Chen used his telekinetic power to search for Doctor Gurt while worrying that Mo Yue might detect him.

Li Chen listened as Doctor Gurt explained that Hua Ju Laboratory could not break through the defenses of its five Shadow Organization captives, while Doctor Chen challenged the reason so many scientists had been summoned. The gathering proved to be a trap: Ma Gudian had ordered Doctor Gurt to eliminate every other scientist, including Doctor Chen.

• Li Chen inferred that the captives’ Small Universe abilities protected their bodies and brains, giving him a chance to rescue them.
• Doctor Chen questioned Doctor Gurt about why nearly twenty thousand scientists had been gathered.
• Doctor Gurt said the scientists were only there to help remove the captives’ automatic defenses, alarming the crowd.
• Doctor Chen demanded that Ma Gudian explain what was happening and reminded everyone of his status at Hua Ju Laboratory.
• Doctor Gurt asked Ma Gudian whether Doctor Chen could be spared, but Ma Gudian insisted that their agreement required killing all the other scientists.

Ma Gudian’s power struggle with Doctor Chen had led Hua Ju Laboratory to release the First Generation Zombie Virus, and Ma now planned to eliminate the scientists who might oppose him. Li Chen had Noah breach the laboratory’s network, and the surveillance revealed a lethal corridor blocking the route to the captured Shadow Organization members.

• Doctor Gurt stopped resisting as he recalled how Ma Gudian had forced Doctor Chen to accept cooperation with the aliens and release the First Generation Zombie Virus.
• Doctor Chen had left Hua Ju Laboratory and been placed under house arrest, while other scientists were confined and kept from contacting the outside world.
• Ma Gudian gathered the scientists under the pretext of researching human immortality and prepared to eliminate dissenters while preserving them for research or use as human weapons.
• Li Chen ordered Noah to infiltrate Hua Ju Laboratory’s network and locate the Shadow Organization members.
• Noah breached the network, giving Li Chen access to surveillance and control of the laboratory’s entrances, exits, and defenses.
• Li Chen found that the Shadow Organization members were beyond the Lethal Corridor, protected by electromagnetic waves and an Extermination Net of lasers.

Li Chen studied Hua Ju Laboratory’s structure and planned to rescue five restrained Shadow Organization members while Doctor Gurt stalled Doctor Chen and the gathered scientists. Doctor Chen exposed the danger, leaving the scientists panicked or resigned as Li Chen watched and considered how to save them.

• Li Chen used Noah’s access to examine Hua Ju Laboratory’s secrets, defenses, and vast underground structure.
• Li Chen located the five Shadow Organization members, who were restrained on operating tables and having their blood drained, and worried they might be unable to move.
• Doctor Gurt claimed Doctor Chen had a brain tumor and tried to send him away while buying time for more scientists to reach the Central Hall.
• Doctor Chen realized Ma Gudian planned to dispose of them, warned the scientists, and looked toward the lethal corridor for a way out.
• The gathered scientists panicked, begged Doctor Chen for help, or accepted that Hua Ju Laboratory was abandoning them.
• Li Chen watched the scientists and struggled to decide how he could save them.

Doctor Gurt ordered the Patrol Team to kill the resisting scientists, but Li Chen’s hidden Energy Cannons wiped out the patrol personnel. Mo Yue ordered Ma Gudian to cut off power to the entire laboratory to stop Li Chen, despite the deadly consequences for everyone inside.

• Doctor Gurt ordered the Patrol Team to kill resisters while preserving the scientists’ bodies and brains.
• Li Chen used hidden Energy Cannons to kill the Patrol Team in two volleys.
• Mo Yue recognized Li Chen’s control of the laboratory systems and ordered Ma Gudian to cut the main power supply.
• Ma Gudian tried to find an excuse to leave, but Mo Yue ignored him and he confirmed the shutdown order with the Energy Control Room.
• The Energy Control Room acknowledged Ma Gudian’s order to cut off the laboratory’s main power supply.

Li Chen learned that Hua Ju Laboratory’s power cutoff would seal the exits, remove the air, and release Poisonous Gas, trapping everyone inside. He asked Noah how to stop the program, and Noah said there was only one way but had not yet revealed it.

• Ma Gudian left with Doctor Gurt while Mo Yue stayed behind, watching the Central Hall surveillance footage.
• The scientists saw the Patrol Team members killed by the autocannons and fled, while Doctor Chen headed toward the Lethal Corridor to destroy the facility.
• Hua Ju Laboratory announced that its entrances and exits would close five minutes after its primary power supply shut down.
• Doctor Chen explained that the sealed laboratory would lose its air and fill with Poisonous Gas, leaving no one able to survive.
• The scientists rushed toward the passages, but Doctor Chen said the protective protocol made escape impossible.
• Li Chen asked Noah to stop the cutoff program, and Noah told him that it could not be stopped and that only one way could prevent the disaster.

Li Chen learned that restarting the Nuclear Reactor could restore the laboratory’s power, and Doctor Chen led him toward the hidden power source. Mo Yue detected Li Chen and sent four dinosaurs to intercept him while she moved to use the five Shadow Organization members as leverage.

• Noah told Li Chen that manually restarting the Nuclear Reactor could restore power, but neither of them could locate it on the map.
• Li Chen recognized that Doctor Chen might know where the power source was and demanded his help.
• Doctor Chen led Li Chen through the now-safe Lethal Corridor to the Protective Door, which Li Chen opened with Mental Power.
• Mo Yue sensed Li Chen’s aura, ordered Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Velociraptor to intercept him, and told her other subordinates to block his escape without killing him.
• Mo Yue located the five Shadow Organization members in the Operating Room and left the main monitoring room, planning to use them to make Li Chen pay a price.

Li Chen and Doctor Chen hurried through Hua Ju Laboratory to restart its power before the shutdown countdown sealed the facility and released nerve gas. Noah took control of Chen Dazhuang, and the pair continued toward their goal with less than four minutes remaining.

• Doctor Chen led Li Chen through the Data Processing Center and explained that Chen Dazhuang was an artificial intelligence created by a former partner.
• Li Chen guessed that Doctor Chen's partner had been a woman, but Doctor Chen did not explain further.
• Doctor Chen explained that Chen Dazhuang used an independent power supply to protect the laboratory and continued trying to stop them.
• Noah took control of Chen Dazhuang after Li Chen gave permission, and Chen Dazhuang began addressing Li Chen as his master.
• Li Chen and Doctor Chen passed through the powerless Brave Corridor as the countdown fell below four minutes.

Li Chen and Doctor Chen crossed Hua Ju Laboratory’s vast collection of failed zombie-virus experiments and reached the five Shadow Organization members Li Chen had come to rescue. They discovered the captives were signaling a warning, while the laboratory’s shutdown countdown left little time to restart its energy.

• Doctor Chen told Li Chen that Hua Ju Laboratory had used at least 139,125 people as experimental subjects, many of them criminals sent from the White-Headed Sam Empire and other countries.
• Li Chen learned that the living specimens could not survive outside their cultivation fluid and had limited combat potential.
• Li Chen, Doctor Chen, and Noah passed through another Protective Door and found the five Shadow Organization members restrained behind glass.
• The five captives blinked and signaled for Li Chen to stay away, alerting him that enemies were likely waiting in ambush.
• Li Chen learned the Energy Power Room was about three minutes away, leaving only forty seconds to restart the energy before shutdown, and Doctor Chen admitted he could not open its Protective Door alone.

Li Chen learned that the Energy Power Room was sealed behind a fifty-thousand-ton door and rushed to rescue the captives before Hua Ju Laboratory shut down. After defeating Mo Yue’s disguised subordinates and discovering that the Shadow Organization members had been moved elsewhere, he left with Doctor Chen to continue the search.

• Doctor Chen explained that the Energy Power Room lay two hundred meters below them behind a sealed door that could not be opened without power.
• Li Chen smashed through the operating room’s glass and defeated the attacking Brachiosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus Monster Decision Makers.
• Li Chen used his Small Universe Sixth Sense to foresee that the five apparent Shadow Organization members were disguised enemies planning to attack him.
• Li Chen killed four disguised enemies, read the last one’s mind, and learned that Mo Yue had captured and moved the real Shadow Organization members.
• Li Chen finished off the surviving Monster Decision Maker and left with Doctor Chen as Hua Ju Laboratory neared shutdown.

Li Chen and Doctor Chen hurried toward the Energy Power Room while Mo Yue investigated the deaths of her subordinates and realized Li Chen wielded the power of the Small Universe. The route led them to a vast, uncharted room, leaving Li Chen uneasy as the laboratory’s shutdown approached.

• Doctor Chen asked Li Chen how powerful he was, and Li Chen brushed off the question by saying he had only just reached the threshold of evolution.
• Mo Yue watched Li Chen kill her subordinates, ordered the remaining Monster Decision Makers to fight without restraint, and went to inspect the bodies herself.
• Mo Yue examined her subordinates’ injuries and recognized that Li Chen had killed them with pseudo-Atomic Destruction Power, the power of the Small Universe.
• Li Chen and Doctor Chen reached a strange, pitch-black room that Noah’s map marked as a wall, with only three minutes remaining before Hua Ju Laboratory shut down.

Li Chen and Doctor Chen crossed a vast cave and continued through Hua Ju Laboratory’s underground passages, where a powerful monster ambushed them. Li Chen saved Doctor Chen from a white-light attack, then faced a towering Tier 11 creature as Doctor Chen moved to safety.

• Li Chen revealed the cave with a fireball, and Doctor Chen suspected it connected to the Underground Production Workshop.
• Li Chen leaped across the cave, and Doctor Chen followed, discovering his Gene Evolution Tier 7 Peak strength was enough to cross easily.
• A terrifying force pulled Doctor Chen back just before a streak of white light carved through the passage, and Doctor Chen thanked Li Chen for saving him.
• A gigantic, dark-green, tusked monster carrying a huge axe appeared and confronted Li Chen and Doctor Chen.
• Li Chen told Doctor Chen to find a safe place, and Doctor Chen withdrew to watch as Li Chen vanished.

Li Chen fought a hulking beastman Decision Maker while racing against Hua Ju Laboratory’s lockdown, then hurried onward with Doctor Chen after defeating it. With just over two minutes remaining, a commotion erupted behind them as they checked the route to their destination.

• Li Chen attacked the hulking beastman Decision Maker, but its speed and tough body thwarted his attempts to land a decisive blow.
• Doctor Chen learned from the holographic Chen Dazhuang, who was actually Noah, about Li Chen’s strength and the changed world outside the laboratory.
• Li Chen struck the monster’s head with a powerful punch and smashed it into the floor, defeating it before the laboratory sealed.
• Li Chen assured Doctor Chen that the monster was dead, checked the laboratory map, and rushed toward their destination with him.
• A commotion erupted behind Li Chen and Doctor Chen as only two minutes and fifteen seconds remained before lockdown.

Li Chen and Doctor Chen raced to Hua Ju Laboratory’s Energy Power Room while Mo Yue secretly tightened the Mental Power restrictions to weaken Li Chen and steer him into a trap. They reached the 50,000-ton Protective Door, but Li Chen could barely lift it with most of his Mental Power as the laboratory’s shutdown approached.

• Li Chen pulled Doctor Chen away from the pursuing monsters Mo Yue had raised and hurried toward the Energy Power Room.
• Mo Yue ordered Ma Gudian to let Li Chen restart the laboratory’s power, then directed the Monster Decision Makers to gradually tighten the Mental Power restriction around him.
• Li Chen and Doctor Chen reached the underground entrance with about a minute and a half remaining before Hua Ju Laboratory shut down.
• Li Chen discovered that Mo Yue’s restrictions made opening the Protective Door much harder and used eighty percent of his Mental Power just to lift it slightly.

Li Chen used Wind Element power to open the Protective Door and entered Hua Ju Laboratory’s Energy Power Room with Doctor Chen to restart its reactors. With the shutdown countdown nearly over and hundreds of reactors still inactive, Li Chen rushed to continue restarting them.

• Li Chen used Wind Element power to lift the Protective Door and escaped into the Energy Power Room with Doctor Chen.
• Mo Yue watched Li Chen and ordered Doctor Gurt and the other scientists to investigate the captured Shadow Organization members once the laboratory’s energy was restored.
• Doctor Chen explained that the Energy Power Room contained 2,500 reactors, and he and Li Chen split up to restart them.
• Noah warned Li Chen that only twenty-five seconds remained and 927 reactors were still inactive, so Li Chen sped off to restart more.
