• Murong Xue explained that powerful mutated animals often guarded Colorful Plants and fought over their fruit, suggesting it might benefit them especially.

After Murong Xue watched Shen Yi’s women clash, she grew convinced that he was hiding a secret greater than her own rebirth. Back at Taiyun Ting, Shen Yi learned his Shapeshifting Ability had reached level 11, while Chu Yungge approached him privately after dinner to give him Ability Fruits.

• After dinner, Chu Yungge sought Shen Yi alone to give him Ability Fruits, as Qin Ruoshui watched her resentfully.

• Shen Yi brought the Green Mutants to Lin Zhiwei, who perked up at the sight of them.

Shen Yi learned that Lin Zhiwei had developed a gene serum that could greatly enhance a person's body and grant regenerative abilities, though failed injections were almost always fatal. The serum offered a way to create and strengthen ability users, and Shen Yi left with a tube as Lin Zhiwei continued puzzling over its connection to Ability Fruits and Gene 001.

• Lin Zhiwei eagerly prepared to study the frozen Green Mutant, but Shen Yi asked her about the gene serum she had promised him.
• Lin Zhiwei explained that the semi-finished serum could multiply an ordinary person's physical constitution and grant powerful regeneration, while its effects on ability users remained uncertain.
• Lin Zhiwei said injections had a 55% success rate, nearly certain death on failure, and could turn successful subjects' skin and hair green.
• Lin Zhiwei explained that repeated injections could further strengthen a person, with their individual capacity for the serum determining their limit.
• Shen Yi judged the serum promising, while Lin Zhiwei noted similarities between its energy, Gene 001, and Ability Fruits; Murong Xue was shocked that ability users might be created artificially.

Shen Yi put the exhausted Lin Zhiwei to sleep and instructed Jiangnan Yan to organize trials of the dangerous gene serum. He then teleported to Jiangnan Yan’s bedroom, where Ye Rou was crying.

• Lin Zhiwei explained her research into the green mutant and Sample 001, but Shen Yi used his mental energy to make her sleep before she could continue.
• Murong Xue wondered whether Shen Yi could copy other people’s abilities and searched for an explanation in her memories and imagination.
• Shen Yi told Jiangnan Yan to select people for ten gene serum trials, with seven doses for ordinary people and three for ability users.
• Jiangnan Yan agreed to record the trials and contact Shelter members for help, then left to choose participants.
• Shen Yi teleported to Jiangnan Yan’s bedroom and found Ye Rou sobbing with swollen, red eyes.

Shen Yi learned that Jiangnan Yan had pressured Ye Rou into offering herself in exchange for a doctor to save her stabbed boyfriend, and he took advantage of her desperation. Meanwhile, Ye Rou’s boyfriend secretly revealed that his healing ability had already closed his wounds, and he planned to use his injury to coax a kiss from her.

• Ye Rou told Shen Yi that Jiangnan Yan had promised medical help for her boyfriend only if Ye Rou satisfied Shen Yi.
• Shen Yi heard that the boyfriend had survived more than a dozen stab wounds and demanded that Ye Rou show her sincerity.
• Ye Rou, overwhelmed by guilt but desperate to save her boyfriend, gave in to Shen Yi’s demand.
• Ye Rou’s boyfriend removed his bandages and revealed that his healing ability had already begun repairing his wounds.
• The long-haired young man decided to keep pretending to be injured so he could persuade Ye Rou to kiss him.

Shen Yi unlocked Golden Pillow Durian and ate it while Ye Rou misunderstood why he had brought it out. He arranged gene serum for Ye Rou’s injured boyfriend, then turned his attention to interrogating the mutants.

• The system unlocked Golden Pillow Durian for Shen Yi, who tried it and ate more than half.
• Jiangnan Yan entered, saw the durian, and helped Shen Yi dress while reporting that ten volunteers were ready for gene serum injections.
• Shen Yi told Jiangnan Yan to add Ye Rou’s injured boyfriend to the gene serum list, and Ye Rou thanked him.
• Shen Yi told Ye Rou he did not want her calling another man her boyfriend, and she agreed to break up with him.
• Shen Yi noticed Lin Zhiwei had awakened and decided it was time to interrogate the mutants.

Shen Yi and Lin Zhiwei discovered that a thawed mutant could speak and identified itself as an extraterrestrial lifeform called the Consciousness Collective. The chapter left them questioning why it had come to Earth and how many others were present, while Shen Yi stayed ready to destroy it.

• Shen Yi thawed a female mutant in the laboratory while Lin Zhiwei watched for signs of consciousness.
• The mutant spoke and told Lin Zhiwei that it was a virus by human understanding.

• Shen Yi wondered whether extraterrestrial lifeforms were connected to the Black Fog and prepared to attack if the mutant acted suspiciously.
• Lin Zhiwei asked the mutant how many extraterrestrial lifeforms like it were on Earth, believing it was choosing not to answer.

Lin Zhiwei provoked a mutant infected by the Consciousness Collective and deduced that the alien life-form had likely not come to Earth willingly. After Shen Yi destroyed the attacking mutant, Lin Zhiwei questioned another mutant and suspected the Collective’s main body was a tree.

• Lin Zhiwei taunted the Consciousness Collective, which angrily insisted that humans were lower life-forms and unworthy of speaking with it.
• Lin Zhiwei inferred that the Collective might have been forced or stranded on Earth, and the mutant lunged at her.
• Shen Yi froze and shattered the mutant, then sealed its fragments so it could no longer spread.
• Lin Zhiwei asked another male mutant about the Collective’s main body and guessed that it was a tree.
• The mutant offered to reveal every answer if Lin Zhiwei let it infect her and become part of the Collective.

Shen Yi and Lin Zhiwei discovered that the alien life-form’s original body was likely Mutated Creature #001, the Mutant Giant Tree. At the shelter’s genetic drug trial, Ye Rou’s former boyfriend transformed into a powerful, green-skinned man, then turned to her with a threat.

• Lin Zhiwei rejected the mutant’s offer to infect her, and Shen Yi drew blood from it before sealing it in ice.
• Lin Zhiwei concluded that the alien life-form had one powerful consciousness controlling multiple bodies and that its original body was likely Mutated Creature #001, the Mutant Giant Tree.
• Jiangnan Yan began the genetic drug trial while Shen Yi watched through Telepathy, and the first test subject was Ye Rou’s long-haired former boyfriend.
• After receiving the injection, the young man grew taller and stronger, turned green, and rapidly healed his wounds.
• The transformed man admired his new strength and asked Ye Rou whether she could still reject him.

Seven survivors successfully gained artificial abilities from the gene serum, while Ye Rou moved into the Shelter’s comfortable twenty-first-floor apartments under Jiangnan Yan’s control. The green-haired young man still believed his girlfriend would return to him, unaware that she had been brought to serve Shen Yi.

• Seven of ten people survived the gene serum experiment and gained artificial abilities, satisfying Shen Yi.

• A system notification sounded as Shen Yi switched viewpoints to watch the battle.

• Su Yun and Jiangnan Yan discovered that Liu Yiyi's grenade was an exquisitely realistic toy.

Shen Yi brought Liu Yiyi back to Deep Bay One after sparing her, then discovered that his Mental Evolution had reached level eleven and granted him new powers. The chapter left him responding to Qin Xiang’s first plea for help after seeing the danger she faced through Telepathy.

• Liu Yiyi expected Shen Yi to kill her, but he spared her and brought her back to Deep Bay One in exchange for eating his food.
• Shen Yi gave Liu Yiyi clean clothes and told her to take a bath, while the chapter described how Deep Bay One rewarded survivors with supplies and food for their service.

• Shen Yi located Qin Xiang and used Telepathy to see the danger she had encountered.

Qin Xiang and a group of survivors became trapped in a Department Store surrounded by mutant cockroaches, and Shen Yi came to rescue them after she asked him for help. As the survivors turned on Qin Xiang, one man proposed that she draw the cockroaches away so the rest could escape.
