Chapter Summaries

Shen Yi showed Long Aoshuang a Wuzhi-21 attack helicopter, and she took him flying while he tested whether heavy weapons raised her favorability. Their flight ended with a giant bird charging toward them, and Long Aoshuang fired two missiles at the approaching target.

• Shen Yi summoned a Wuzhi-21, and Long Aoshuang eagerly inspected the fully armed helicopter.

• Long Aoshuang launched missiles at the giant bird, but it dodged them and then destroyed them with a sonic wave.
• Long Aoshuang turned the helicopter toward the bird and opened fire, wounding it, but the bird sent the bullets back at the aircraft.

• Survivors in a high-rise mistook the fiery phoenix for a mythical creature and wondered whether the helicopter carried rescuers.
• Long Aoshuang questioned who Shen Yi was and began to understand the scale of his power.

Shen Yi mastered helicopter piloting in two hours, rewarded Long Aoshuang with an attack helicopter and Ability Fruits, and collected more fruits from Fu Yunxi and Jiangnan Yan’s Shelter. Back at Deep Bay One, he ate the fruits Shen Youwei had sorted and gained several abilities, including a particularly promising one.

• Long Aoshuang questioned Shen Yi’s strength, then watched him learn to fly and operate a helicopter with astonishing speed.
• After searching the skies for more mutated birds, Shen Yi returned to the Shelter and gave Long Aoshuang a Wuzhi-21 attack helicopter and Mental Evolution Fruits.
• Shen Yi collected dozens of Ability Fruits from Fu Yunxi, rewarded her with fruits, and supplied Frost and Flame Fruits for her core members.
• Shen Yi left Fu Yunxi’s Shelter before Lin Lu and Lin Tu could catch up with him and returned to Deep Bay One.
• Shen Youwei finished sorting Jiangnan Yan’s Ability Fruits, and Shen Yi ate the fruits he had selected, gaining several new abilities.

Shen Yi gained four new abilities from Ability Fruits and continued helping Shen Youwei assess the fruits, while saving Body Evolution fruits for her and Qiao Xuefei. At the Villa Shelter, Song Qingwan provoked Lin Lu and Lin Tu and then agreed to help by producing fresh water as the Shelter prepared for conflict with other Shelters.

• Shen Yi inspected Super Regeneration, Storm Lord, Shadow Shuttle, and Gravity Control and noted that several of his existing abilities were close to leveling up.

• Fu Yunxi asked Song Qingwan to make more fresh water for the Shelter, and Song Qingwan agreed while continuing to needle the twins.

Shen Yi gained four new abilities from the Villa Shelter’s Ability Fruits, including Time Freeze, and resolved to collect abilities in hopes of assembling complete powers. After distributing fruits and sending Shadow Puppets to search for more, he headed to check on Lin Zhiwei’s research, while sensing an opportunity to bring her a gift.

• Lin Lu stopped Lin Tu from asking Shen Yi to handle Song Qingwan and decided they should seek Sister Qiao’s help instead.

• Shen Yi gave Ability Fruits to Shen Youwei, Qiao Xuefei, and Murong Xue, then prepared to visit Lin Zhiwei about her research.
• Shen Yi considered bringing Lin Zhiwei a gift, sensed something, and vanished from where he stood.

Shen Yi brought Blade Insects to Lin Zhiwei for research and supplied her with mental-strength fruits in exchange for future breakthroughs. Lin Zhiwei tested Shen Yi’s genes on Ye Rou’s green-haired boyfriend, whose mutated body stopped breathing during the experiment.

• Shen Yi gave Lin Zhiwei mental-strength fruits and offered more rewards for successful genetic research.
• Lin Zhiwei told Shen Yi that the green-haired test subject was near collapse after multiple gene fusions.
• Lin Zhiwei proposed injecting Shen Yi’s genes into the test subject, and Shen Yi agreed.
• Qin Xiang brought guards to help restrain the violently struggling test subject during the injection.
• A guard reported that the green-haired young man had stopped breathing, and Lin Zhiwei entered the laboratory to examine him.

Lin Zhiwei’s revived test subject broke free and attacked the laboratory staff, but Qin Xiang subdued him. Lin Zhiwei connected his recovery and ability to accept seven mutated-animal genes to Shen Yi’s genes, leaving Shen Yi wondering what else his genes could do.

• The mutated young man awakened with enhanced strength and healing, broke his chains, and attacked Lin Zhiwei and the guards.
• The guards’ bullets failed to stop the young man, so Qin Xiang fought him and snapped his neck, though he continued to regenerate.
• Shen Yi asked Lin Zhiwei about the monster’s recovery, and she said his survival and retained consciousness were related to Shen Yi’s genes.
• Shen Yi suspected his altered genes caused reproductive isolation and worried briefly that he could not have descendants.
• Shen Yi asked whether his genes could help others balance multiple powers, and Lin Zhiwei replied that they could do more than that.

Shen Yi tested whether the green-haired young man's unusual genes could raise the limit on his abilities, then spent the following week unlocking eleven supplies and strengthening his powers. His Mental Evolution reached level 31, bringing him closer to surpassing the Consciousness Collective and taking control of Mountain City.

• Shen Yi gave the green-haired young man three Ability Fruits, and the experiment confirmed that he could gain a fourth ability beyond his original limit.
• Shen Yi altered the laboratory guards' thoughts to ensure their absolute loyalty, then told Lin Zhiwei to test the gene research on more people before using it herself.
• Over the next week, Tang Tang selected eleven maids who met the System's standards, and Shen Yi unlocked eleven supplies, including a Medium Ammo Crate and a Dudika motorcycle.
• Shen Yi continued eating Ability Fruits until his abilities increased in level, while Mental Evolution reached level 31 and gained the power to make targets immune to some mental intrusion.
• Shen Yi believed his growing mental power could soon surpass the Consciousness Collective, letting him claim Mountain City and potentially control the Collective.

Shen Yi reviewed the growth of the Shelters and Lin Zhiwei’s discoveries about the power and loyalty-inducing effects of his genes, then went out to explore. At Mountain City’s international airport, he found Anna Clark, a blonde survivor who met the system’s standards, and discovered that more than a thousand people were trapped there.

• Shen Yi learned that the four Shelters had expanded, Lin Zhiwei’s experiments showed his genes could safely increase abilities, and those injected developed awe toward him.
• Shen Yi considered how his genes had surpassed Mutated Creature #001’s and decided to trust the system until he was strong enough to investigate its origins.
• After a week inside his Shelter, Shen Yi teleported away to observe survivors struggling beyond its territory.
• The system identified nineteen-year-old Anna Clark at the international airport as a goddess who could unlock a random supply if Shen Yi took her in.
• Shen Yi spotted more than a thousand survivors at the airport, and the system prompt triggered again.

Shen Yi watched the survivors fight over food while Anna Clark used her power to evade a pursuer and Emily Johnson forced her to hand over a bag of chips. Shen Yi confronted the two women beside an ice sculpture containing the Black Strongman and asked whether they spoke Chinese.

• Shen Yi noticed Emily Johnson among the airport survivors as two groups fought over the remaining snacks.
• Anna Clark stole two bags of chips and escaped the Black Strongman by turning into dark-blue liquid and slipping through a restroom wall.
• Emily threatened Anna with blue flames and took one bag of chips in exchange for letting her go.
• Anna found Shen Yi standing outside the restroom beside an ice sculpture trapping the Black Strongman.
• Shen Yi asked Anna and Emily whether they spoke Chinese.

Shen Yi offered Emily and Anna a way out of the airport in exchange for becoming his women, and the two responded according to their different priorities. Emily agreed after securing his promises, while Anna remained hesitant despite his offer to take her home to London someday.

• Shen Yi used Mental Link to communicate with Emily and Anna and asked them to become his women in exchange for leaving the airport.
• Emily agreed after Shen Yi promised not to trade her and to provide enough food for her each day.
• Anna said she wanted to refuse because she hoped to return home and find her family, but Shen Yi pointed out that her food and water would soon run out.
• Shen Yi offered Anna three meals a day and a chance to return to her hometown if she did not betray him.

• Shen Yi found Gao Hui among the flight attendants and brought her back to Anna and Emily.
• Emily returned with her suitcase, and Shen Yi gave the three women barrels of purified water to clean themselves.

Shen Yi brought Gao Hui, Anna, and Emily back to the Deep Bay One Shelter, then went out with Bai Li after detecting Lin Xiaozhai, a girl whose ability could replicate food and water. He appeared in Lin Xiaozhai’s home and introduced himself as someone who had come to help her, leaving her frightened and suspicious.

• Shen Yi told Lin Xiaozhai he had come to help her, but she warned that she was not easy to fool.

Shen Yi fed Lin Xiaozhai a feast in exchange for helping him test her Replication Ability on an Ability Fruit. As Lin Xiaozhai struggled to copy it, a blurry duplicate began to appear beside the original.

• Shen Yi tempted Lin Xiaozhai with meat, and she asked to trade snacks for a piece of his ribs.
• Shen Yi offered her a whole plate of ribs if she helped with an experiment, and Lin Xiaozhai agreed after eating her fill.
• Shen Yi gave Lin Xiaozhai an Ability Fruit and asked her to replicate it, revealing that he knew about her superpower.
• Lin Xiaozhai accused Shen Yi of peeping on her, then focused on using her Replication Ability.
• Lin Xiaozhai grew pale and sweaty as a blurry outline emerged beside the Ability Fruit.

Lin Xiaozhai successfully replicated an Ability Fruit, revealing the potential of her Replication Ability, while Shen Yi unlocked fully equipped J-10C fighter jets. He sent Jiangnan Yan and Murong Xue to occupy an airport and prepare pilots, then left to unlock more supplies.

• Lin Xiaozhai replicated a colorful Ability Fruit but collapsed from exhaustion, and Shen Yi considered testing whether her ability could copy abilities and whether Qiao Xuefei could help her recover.
• Shen Yi settled the sleeping Lin Xiaozhai at Deep Bay One, where Gao Hui’s score qualified her to unlock a supply and Anna’s score rose to 96.

• Qiao Xuefei cut her own arm to demonstrate her healing ability, and Lin Xiaozhai activated her Replication Ability.
• Lin Xiaozhai grew pale as she tried and failed to replicate Qiao Xuefei’s ability.

Shen Yi helped Lin Xiaozhai recover and unlocked Protective Battle Armor after taking her in, then went out to vent by killing mutants and hostile survivors. Through Telepathy, he spotted a group of Green Mutants near a colossal tree that might be the Consciousness Collective’s true body.

• Shen Yi restructured Lin Xiaozhai’s brain to strengthen her Replication Ability, and Qiao Xuefei restored her stamina.

• Shen Yi left Lin Xiaozhai Ability Fruits and went out, killing mutated animals and survivors he disliked with Flame Devour.
• Shen Yi used Telepathy to spot more than a dozen Green Mutants and a colossal tree that might be the Consciousness Collective’s true body.

Shen Yi discovered the Consciousness Collective’s enormous true body and decided to avoid confronting it until he had grown stronger. He then noticed a healer named Zhang Jinyu in a residential complex, where survivors were preparing to fight off a gang, and the chapter ended with Shen Yi appearing in her bedroom.
