• Zhang Qiang welcomed Q City's support and asked Xiao Liu to put him in contact with Commander Hu.

Hu Shou learned that Shen Jin planned to intercept and destroy a million-strong zombie horde, then realized the horde was likely held together by a Tier 3 Z Zombie. He ordered his guard to contact Shen Jin as the danger became clear.

Shen Jin learned that the million-strong zombie horde was led by a tier 3 Z zombie and might also include another tier 3 zombie. Despite the danger, he decided Home No. 1 would set out for S City the next morning before the four hordes could merge.

• The captains discussed plans to fight the zombie horde until Shen Jin received a call from Hu Shou and announced that it contained a tier 3 Z zombie.
• Shen Jin explained that Hu Shou had inferred the zombie's tier from the horde's size and warned that Z zombies often had powerful same-tier protectors, making two tier 3 zombies likely.
• The captains worried they could not defeat two tier 3 zombies, and Li Zhe suggested delaying the mission to help S City.
• Shen Jin argued that they still had a chance to fight and that letting the four hordes merge would make them even harder to stop, then ordered everyone to pack for a departure the next morning.

Shen Jin and his allies prepared Home No. 1 for a mission to destroy a million-strong zombie horde while leaving Liu Jin in charge of the base. Meanwhile, Sun Can and his Skeletons fought an incoming flock of Y1 Zombies near B City.

Shen Jin and a small group scouted a million-strong zombie horde and discovered it was moving in an organized formation under the control of a Z3 Zombie. The group spotted two Y2 Zombies that had noticed them, and Shen Jin ordered everyone to prepare for combat.

• Shen Jin halted the 440-person force, briefed them on the coming encounter, and sent Wu Yong with the main force to establish a blockade.
• Shen Jin led the captains and other specialists northwest, where they found a vast zombie horde covering Strong Martial County.

• Li Zhe and Tong Zhen identified two Breeder Variant Zombies using captive humans and little zombies to move the protected P-Type Zombies.
• Dou Bei proposed attacking with crossbowmen, but Shen Jin warned that ordinary weapons could not handle a horde of that size and pointed out two Y2 Zombies above it.
• Lu Daizhen sensed the Y2 Zombies' bloodlust as they spotted the group, and Shen Jin pulled Shang Qian and Li Moxiao back and ordered everyone to prepare for combat.

Shen Jin and his team fought two Y2 Zombies, killing both before a massive scaled hand erupted beneath them and destroyed the building, forcing Shang Qian to teleport them away. At the S City command center, Zhang Qiang sent Ye Fan to plant mines and lure a Zombie Horde toward them.

• Lu Daizhen detected two Y2 Zombies and sixty Y1 Zombies, while Mi Xiaoli cursed the airborne attackers and the team prepared to fight.
• Tong Zhen, Miao Shubai, Li Zhe, Meng San, and the others restrained and killed one Y2 Zombie, but its headless body counterattacked and injured Li Zhe and four deputy captains.
• Qi Tong, Tong Zhen, and Yang Ao subdued and killed the second Y2 Zombie, while Dou Bei cut apart the exhausted headless one.
• Lu Daizhen warned that a giant underground hand was waiting to attack, so Shen Jin ordered an emergency retreat and Shang Qian teleported everyone away before the hand destroyed the building.
• At the S City command center, Zhang Qiang let officials organize a civilian retreat and ordered Ye Fan to plant one thousand Crystal Core Implosion Mines and lure a Zombie Horde toward them.

Shen Jin’s group discovered that the zombie horde could fuse its members into enormous limbs, then retaliated with Energy Crystal Core Bombs. As two red clouds flew toward them, the group faced an unexpected new threat.

• Shang Qian teleported Shen Jin and the others to a rooftop after a gigantic hand crushed the factory where they had been fighting.
• Shen Jin realized the hand had formed from fused zombies, and Lu Daizhen confirmed she had sensed the combined psychic force of tens of thousands of zombies.
• Meng San concluded that an intelligent Z Zombie was commanding the coordinated zombie legion, but Shen Jin ordered the group to resume its plan to kill the remaining aerial zombies.
• Shen Jin’s group teleported above the horde, threw Energy Crystal Core Bombs, and teleported away before the bombs exploded among the zombies.
• Two red clouds flew toward Shen Jin and the others.

Shen Jin and his allies fought the Y1 aerial zombies while the Zombie Horde recovered from their explosive attack. As M1 Agile Zombies began climbing the building, Shen Jin raised Lu Daizhen and Mi Xiaoli above the battlefield and prepared to hold the attackers back with giant ice swords.

• Shen Jin’s group used 80 Energy Crystal Core Bombs to devastate the Zombie Horde’s vanguard, kill thousands of zombies, and sever two tentacles from the Breeder Variant Zombie.

• Shen Jin lifted Lu Daizhen and Mi Xiaoli on columns of water, then formed two enormous ice swords to attack the climbing M1 Zombies.

• At Celestial River Mountain, Wu Yong and his people discussed their defenses and their loyalty to Shen Jin as sixteen figures approached through the air.

Shen Jin inspected the defenses at Celestial River Mountain, where Wu Yong had built powerful mechanical crossbows to help trap the approaching zombie horde. Elsewhere, Heavenly Net and Ye Fan prepared separate ambushes, while Sun Can struggled through B City on a mission to destroy a zombie nest.

• Shen Jin praised Old Wu’s maze-like defenses at Celestial River Mountain, and Wu Yong showed him a mechanical crossbow capable of piercing a row of zombies.
• The Heavenly Net Y City branch director ordered his forces to seal a mountain road and use Crystal Core Implosion Mines to trap the zombie horde.
• Ye Fan and his team planned to redirect water from a dam and use a thousand mines to destroy the zombies swept into the basin.
• Sun Can entered B City and found far more Tier 1 and Tier 2 Evolved Zombies than he had encountered in Q City.
• Sun Can used his iron shovel to escape a buried hiding place with his skeletons and ghosts, then continued toward the zombie nest.

With the million-strong zombie horde nearing Celestial River Mountain, Shen Jin and his allies refined their defenses by combining their ideas for a sprawling network of Industrial TNT traps. As the horde reached the walls, the Superhumans began their attack with flaming shortbows, and the battle against the four zombie hordes was about to begin.

• Shen Jin planned to bury Industrial TNT near the walls, but Yang Ao persuaded him to extend the bombs ten kilometers along the road to catch the horde's main force.
• Tong Zhen pointed out that agile zombies could scale the mountainside, so Shen Jin arranged for trenches and additional bombs there to blast them down and potentially trigger a landslide.
• Wu Yong proposed linking explosions to improve their impact, and Shen Jin handed him and Tong Zhen a chest of Industrial TNT to finish the preparations.
• At 12:30 p.m., the million-strong horde reached three 100-meter-high defensive walls, with the traps set across the mountain roads and surrounding slopes.
• Shen Jin's Superhumans drew blood-filled barrels and Firewood-Pig Iron Shortbows from their Traveler's Belts, then prepared to set the zombies ablaze before detonating the traps.

Shen Jin’s forces used giant ballistas and 440 archers firing heavenly-flame arrows to suppress the million-strong zombie horde outside Celestial River Mountain. The horde suddenly stopped before Shen Jin could trigger the explosives buried along the mountain road.

• Shen Jin ordered twenty giant ballistas to fire bolts that skewered and pinned Tier 1 Evolved Zombies in the horde’s vanguard.
• Pang Guang and the 440 archers killed the Y1 Zombies that flew toward the wall.
• Shen Jin ordered the archers to fire at will, and their flaming arrows pierced and ignited zombies across the crowded front ranks.
• The archers kept shooting and replenished their bows’ durability with blood, setting larger sections of the horde ablaze.
• The million-strong horde suddenly stopped, shaking the ground and leaving Shen Jin uncertain about what was happening.

Shen Jin and the Superhumans discovered that energy bombs could interrupt the zombie horde’s fusion skill and destroyed its forming giant leg. The horde pressed forward again, and two Breeder Variants began hurling their spawn toward the wall.

• Shen Jin ordered the Superhumans to fire flaming arrows at the fusing zombies, but the horde’s black mist smothered the flames as it formed a giant leg.
• Shen Jin gave ten Energy Bombs to each of sixteen captains, and Shang Qian teleported them beside the giant leg to attack it.
• The sixteen captains detonated 160 Energy Bombs, destroying the giant leg and scattering the fused zombies.
• Shen Jin and the others confirmed that the fusion skill could be interrupted, but M-Type and Y-Type Zombies rushed through the flames and reached the wall.
• Two Breeder Variants hurled masses of small zombies toward the defenders, and Shen Jin warned that they were flinging their spawn.

Shen Jin and his defenders repelled the first wave of zombies thrown over the wall, while Sun Li explained why most of them had overshot. As the horde overwhelmed the defenses and evolved zombies began climbing the wall, Shen Jin ordered his fighters to prepare for close combat and hold for four more minutes.

• Newton climbed into his coffin and nailed it shut as the Breeder Variants hurled little zombies toward the wall.
• Sun Li told everyone to lie down, allowing most of the flying zombies to overshoot, and his shadow continued shooting at the horde.
• Shen Jin praised Sun Li’s quick thinking and ordered the defenders to keep firing as the zombie horde smothered the flames and crowded the wall.
• A heavily muscled little zombie and an M1 Zombie climbed up and injured two Superhumans before their teammates killed them.
• Shen Jin ordered everyone to stop shooting, form a tight formation, consume combat supplies, and prepare to fight the climbing zombies in melee for four more minutes.

Shen Jin’s 440 food-boosted Superhumans held the wall against the zombie horde, then evacuated by jetpack under cover of ranged attacks and barriers. As Shen Jin triggered the final plan, forces elsewhere unleashed a flood and rockslides against two zombie hordes while troops continued delaying a third.

• Shen Jin’s defenders fought off the climbing zombies, then Team Two and the other teams retreated into a protected zone and took flight with [Jetpacks].
• Wu Yong and Miao Shubai helped activate the final evacuation plan as 300 airborne Superhumans fired Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Needles to cover Yang Ao’s 140-person team.
• Shen Jin formed an ice prison, and Miao Shubai strengthened it with a water wall while the remaining Superhumans climbed to safety.
• Shang Qian, Yang Ao, and Li Moxiao built compressed-cobblestone barriers, allowing the last 140 Superhumans to take off as the airborne defenders knocked down pursuing zombies.

Sun Can entered the sealed International Trade Twin Star Towers, while the defenders of S City battled zombie hordes on three fronts and Home No. 1 unleashed a massive TNT ambush. The three fronts appeared to succeed, but an enormous zombie rose from the smoke after Shen Jin’s explosion.

• Sun Can entered the International Trade Twin Star Towers with five ghosts and ten skeletons, and the blood-red substance sealed the entrance behind him.
• Zhang Qiang monitored the fighting as the southern forces engaged the zombies and Ye Fan’s team flooded and blasted a horde of 200,000, losing several teammates.
• Y City’s Superhumans triggered landslides against a horde of 500,000, but a purple Enderman Zombie teleported to and struck one of them.
