Chapter Summaries

The Divine Assembly suspended its search teams and planned to lie low for a month while Ibe’s Seeds ripened, then retaliate against the Heavenly Net. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Net struggled to supply weapons for cities under siege and tested a powerful but uncontrollable bomb before a scientist unveiled the Energy Atomizer.

• Murata showed the Divine Assembly’s leaders evidence that the Heavenly Net had destroyed its search teams with flying troops, advanced armor, and energy weapons.
• Ibe persuaded the Divine Assembly to suspend its search operations for a month while he waited to harvest ten Seeds and pursue tier 4 power.
• The Divine Assembly’s leader ordered researchers to continue their experiments and promised more test subjects, drawing on their stock of Tier 1 Superhuman Serum.
• The Heavenly Net helped survivors flee two cities overrun by enormous zombie hordes, while Kong Long berated Liu Jiannan for failing to produce new weapons.
• Liu Jiannan watched scientists test a powerful bomb that could explode at random, then encountered another scientist who introduced his device as the Energy Atomizer.

Liu Jiannan learned that Crouching Dragon had developed an Energy Atomizer that could help Superhumans recover and cultivate, but he still lacked a weapon of mass destruction and hinted at a trump card. After Shen Jin’s group returned safely to Home No. 1 and he reviewed the base’s plans and supplies, Liu Jiannan called him sobbing for help.

• Crouching Dragon explained that his Energy Atomizer dispersed energy from crystal cores around its user, and Liu Jiannan praised its potential for mass production and national use.
• Liu Jiannan ordered two scientists to stabilize an explosive device, then awkwardly agreed to help them find people for a game of Werewolf.
• Shen Jin’s group returned safely to Home No. 1, where Lu Daizhen stayed behind while Shang Qian went to oversee Red Water Bay Base’s economic development.
• Shen Jin asked Yang Ao to arrange the recovery of new energy vehicles and praised Shang Qian’s plans for linking the bases’ economies.
• Shen Jin counted his supplies, found Yang Ao’s stock of nuclear fuel rods, and decided to build a nuclear power plant before Liu Jiannan called him crying for help.

Shen Jin weighed whether to share his system’s powerful goods with Heavenly Net, and Shang Qian persuaded him to keep control of high-end equipment while supplying basic weapons and potions. He agreed to sell Liu Jiannan large quantities of anti-horde supplies, leaving Liu Jiannan ready to confront Kong Long over the energy crystal cores.

• Liu Jiannan told Shen Jin that zombie hordes led by Z Zombies were spreading across the country and asked him for area-of-effect weapons.
• Shang Qian warned Shen Jin that giving Heavenly Net everything too soon could weaken his position, and urged him to use his power to lead China and the world.
• Shen Jin decided to provide Heavenly Net with unlimited low-end goods while keeping NanoSuits and Quantum Suits under his control.
• Shen Jin offered Liu Jiannan Energy Crystal Core Bombs, awakening potions, and Energy Serum in exchange for energy crystal cores.
• Liu Jiannan accepted Shen Jin’s offer and kicked in the Resources Department’s door to demand that Kong Long prepare the cores.

Shen Jin questioned Liu Dalao about his humanity and brought him to Old Fu for research, then built five nuclear power stations to supply electricity for producing iridium. Liu Dalao remained in Home No. 1’s custody, while the new power stations stood sealed atop nearby mountains.

• Liu Dalao realized Home No. 1 had rescued him and tried unsuccessfully to summon zombies in the cleared Q City.
• Shen Jin asked Liu Dalao whether he considered himself human and whether humans could trust him, then took him to Old Fu’s lab for tests.
• Shen Jin compared three nuclear power station designs and chose the safer configuration that produced 19.2 million kilowatt-hours a day.
• Shen Jin built five sealed nuclear power stations on connected mountain peaks and posted signs forbidding unauthorized entry.

Shen Jin used electricity from his new nuclear power stations to install and test a [Teleporter] between Home No. 1 and Heavenly Net Headquarters. The first bulk trade succeeded, and Liu Jiannan began considering how Heavenly Net might use the technology more widely.

• Shen Jin enclosed the five operating nuclear power stations, arranged to transmit their electricity to Home No. 1, and ordered patrols to keep people away from the radioactive hills.
• After Liu Jiannan said the first batch of energy crystal cores was ready, Shen Jin sent Sun Li to install a [Teleporter] at Heavenly Net Headquarters with its own wind-powered energy supply.
• Sun Li and Shen Jin activated their linked [Teleporters], and Heavenly Net workers transported more than a million energy crystal cores through the passage to Home No. 1.
• Shen Jin exchanged the cores for 200,000 [Energy Crystal Core Bombs], 5,000 [Energy Serum] bottles, and 5,000 [Basic Special Ability Awakening Potion] bottles, which were sent back through the passage.
• Liu Jiannan crossed to Home No. 1 and returned safely, then wondered whether Heavenly Net could install [Teleporters] across the country; Shen Jin remotely shut down both machines.

Shen Jin expanded Red Water Bay Base’s power and transport links, brought Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng to Home No. 1, and renamed the base Red Water District. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Net prepared to use Shen Jin’s supplies against zombie hordes and agreed to conceal their true source to protect him.

• Shen Jin installed Magnetizer routes along the sea bridge, then met Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng at Red Water Bay Base and invited them to join his superhuman forces at Home No. 1.
• Shen Jin inspected the base and D City, added wind turbines, energy storage, and a wireless charging station, then sent Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng across the bridge in Minecarts.
• Shen Jin renamed Red Water Bay Base Red Water District and appointed Zhao Chao its first district chief.
• The Heavenly Net distributed Shen Jin’s bombs and potions, while its officials discussed gathering more energy crystal cores for another trade.
• Yang Tianyao, Kong Long, and Liu Jiannan agreed to claim that the Heavenly Net produced Shen Jin’s supplies so outside organizations would not target him.

Shen Jin and Heavenly Net completed their Energy Serum exchange, enabling Home No. 1’s superhumans to advance to tier 2 and accelerate the campaign in Gourd City. He then opened two routes for pseudo-superhumans to become tier 1 superhumans: buying an awakening potion or passing a recruitment test.

• Yang Tianyao confirmed that the Energy Serum repaired damage from Heavenly Net’s Energy Amplification Potion, and Heavenly Net traded potions and energy crystal cores with Shen Jin.
• By May 8, all 1,205 superhumans in Home No. 1 had reached tier 2, while the Zombie Slaying Squads and pseudo-superhumans rapidly cleared zombies and scavenged Gourd City.
• Lu Renyi, Old Seven, and Ninth Sister discussed the dangers of scavenging and their hope of becoming superhumans as they returned to Home No. 1.
• Shen Jin watched the three pseudo-superhumans and decided to help them advance.
• The three found a new vending machine selling a Super Special Ability Awakening Potion for two thousand yuan and a recruitment notice offering a potion to qualified applicants.
• The crowd cheered for Home No. 1 and Shen Jin after learning about the two paths to becoming superhumans.

Shen Jin expanded Home No. 1's recruitment and led its forces to clear Gourd City, while world powers prepared for the zombies' next evolution and Heavenly Net accelerated its own campaigns. The chapter ended with Shen Jin declaring Gourd City part of Home No. 1 as Gourd District.

• Shen Jin opened Gene Serum access and planned to recruit 1,000 people into the Zombie Slaying Squad, assigning Old Wang, Lu Daizhen, and Shang Qian to screen candidates.

Sun Can searched for the person connected to the sword while Shen Jin’s forces cleared and began organizing Gourd City. The survivors saw Home No. 1 impose order and rebuild the city with baffling technology, leaving them stunned by how much the world had changed.

• Sun Can challenged a sword-wielding Superhuman in a mountain settlement, learned he was not the person chosen by the “sword,” and set off to complete his next system mission.
• Shen Jin’s Superhuman Brigade grew to 2,200 members, and he and Shang Qian planned Gourd City’s safe zone, appointed Old Wang as district chief, and arranged relief and work for residents.
• Workers recruited hungry survivors to clean the International Trade Building, but the squad leader cut off a man’s hand when he grabbed food before being told to eat.
• The construction crew supplied cleaning tools, water, and electricity using unfamiliar equipment, leaving Gourd City’s survivors questioning whether what they saw was possible.

Home No. 1’s crew finished a guarded vending shop in Gourd City and paid local workers in coins they could exchange for supplies. As the crew enforced order, two Tier 2 Superhumans began gathering local Superhumans to negotiate for control of the city.

• Shang Qian’s construction crew completed the Trade-O-Mats, securing the stockroom and powering the partitioned booths with an MFE Energy Storage Unit.
• The crew leader paid the workers five yuan each, and the workers discovered they could buy grain, oil, and salt with their coins.
• Two young men tried to rob Old Huang for an energy crystal core, but the squad leader warned them and spared their hands while announcing that rules would be explained the next morning.
• Brother Lei and Yuanfang discussed Home No. 1’s plans and decided to unite Gourd City’s local Superhumans to demand territory and authority.
• Brother Lei and Yuanfang contacted Superhumans from the east and west, and local Superhumans gathered at the Ancient Castle Base to plot.

Shen Jin confronted former Gourd City officials who had occupied the granary and tried to persuade him to share power, then ordered them to leave for S City. His Guard Army took control of the granary and found its reserves far below expectations before heading to a meeting with Gourd City's survivors.

• Shen Jin flew to Gourd City's granary after Liu Jin reported that former officials and their Superhumans were refusing to leave.
• Mayor Jia and the other officials proposed that Shen Jin join their planned Heavenly Net branch, but Liu Jin revealed that Shen Jin's group was already affiliated with Heavenly Net.
• Shen Jin threatened the officials, ordered them to evacuate, and sent them and their people to S City to meet Zhang Qiang.
• Liu Jin's Guard Army took over the granary and found only forty thousand tonnes of grain and 150 tonnes of cooking oil.
• Liu Jin set off with the Guard Army for the International Trade Building to attend a meeting with Gourd City's survivors while Shen Jin flew ahead.

Shen Jin addressed Gourd City's 60,000 survivors, introduced Home No. 1’s rules, and made clear that the city would follow them. After Qin Ding challenged his authority, Yang Ao subdued him, and Shen Jin placed Gourd District under Home No. 1 Base with Old Wang as its district chief.

• After Home No. 1’s Superhumans and construction team built a wall around the city center, they summoned Gourd City’s residents to the International Trade Building for Shen Jin’s address.
• Yuan Yi and Qin Ding led local Superhumans to the gathering, intending to oppose Home No. 1’s control and demand a share of the benefits.
• Shen Jin introduced himself as a Heavenly Net official and promised Gourd City residents safety, equal rights, and the same rules as Home No. 1’s residents.
• Qin Ding challenged the rules as unauthorized changes to the Apocalypse Law, but Shen Jin ordered his arrest, and Yang Ao knocked him unconscious in Quantum Armor.
• Yuan Yi and the other local Superhumans backed down, and Shen Jin announced that Gourd District would come under Home No. 1 Base with Old Wang as its first district chief.
• After the assembly, Shen Jin returned to Home No. 1 to move resources and found Old Fu hypnotizing a zombie in his laboratory.

Shen Jin released Liu Dalao after Fu Wei failed to explain his unusual condition, while Jayce and Sivir gathered a horde of 500,000 zombies to attack Home No. 1. As the pair led the horde toward the base, Liu Dalao reached T City and began summoning zombies.

• Fu Wei told Shen Jin that a month of experiments had revealed no explanation for Liu Dalao’s retained human consciousness, and Shen Jin let Liu Dalao leave with Su Lele while secretly tracking him.
• Jayce and Sivir arrived near Q City with 100 mutants, found few zombies by Home No. 1, and used devices to attract zombies farther away.
• Jayce and Sivir gathered 500,000 zombies and led them toward Home No. 1, planning to break through its wall, seize its energy guns, and escape during the chaos.
• Home No. 1 noticed the horde gathering near T City but chose to wait before alerting Shen Jin, while Liu Dalao arrived in the area and began summoning zombies.

After being released from Home No. 1, Liu Dalao encountered a 500,000-zombie horde and fused it into a gigantic zombie form. He killed the American Tier 3 Superhumans Jayce and Sivir, while their mutant troops were scattered by his attacks.

• Liu Dalao left Home No. 1 with Su Lele and searched for zombies, hoping to help her regain her sanity.
• Jayce and Sivir led their mutant troops toward a settlement while a 500,000-zombie horde followed their device.
• Liu Dalao summoned the horde and fused its zombies into a towering body, startling Jayce and Sivir as they watched from a building.
• Liu Dalao smashed the building and sent the mutant troops flying, then attacked the fleeing Jayce and Sivir with black insects.
• Liu Dalao evolved the insects to trap Jayce and Sivir, formed blood-red wings from Y-Type Zombies, and caught up with them in the air.
• Liu Dalao crushed Jayce and Sivir’s heads and declared his hatred of foreigners who tried to capture him.

After Liu Dalao defeated two Hydra Organization captains, he turned them into zombie underlings and led his amalgamation into a battle with another zombie horde near T City. The amalgamation won, and T City's Heavenly Net realized it might no longer need reinforcements.

• Liu Dalao used the zombie virus to resurrect Jayce and Sivir as zombies, naming them Erlang and Sanlang, then began gathering the horde's energy to advance Su Lele to tier 3.
• T City's Heavenly Net first rejoiced when a 500,000-strong zombie horde headed toward Home No. 1, then panicked when the amalgamation returned and moved toward a separate 200,000-strong horde.
• Liu Dalao's amalgamation attacked the 200,000-strong horde, clashing with the Z2 zombie that controlled it while T City's command center watched.
• After an hour of fighting, Liu Dalao's amalgamation defeated the opposing horde, losing just over 50,000 zombies before breaking apart as its energy ran low.
• The zombies fed on the corpses to recover their strength, and T City's communications officer told headquarters that reinforcements might no longer be necessary.

Shen Jin tested the Heavenly Net’s Energy Atomizer and found it could speed up energy recovery and help him produce more special ability food. He gave one to Liu Yue, whose conversion ability suited it, but their conversation ended with Shen Jin pinning her at the rooftop edge.

• Shen Jin informed the Heavenly Net that the intelligent zombie Liu Mou had helped T City defeat two zombie hordes.
• Liu Jiannan offered Shen Jin Energy Atomizers in exchange for future supplies, and the two sides completed a trade.
• Shen Jin tested an Energy Atomizer and found that it increased his energy recovery enough to double his daily special ability food production.
• Shen Jin distributed Atomizers to Li Moxiao, Shang Qian, and Yang Ao, then brought one to Liu Yue to test with her conversion ability.
• After Liu Yue accepted the device and tried to leave, Shen Jin grabbed her arm and pinned her against the rooftop edge.

Shen Jin and Liu Yue reunited on the rooftop, confessed that they still wanted each other, and kissed after years apart. They shut themselves away from view as the sunset faded.

• Shen Jin held Liu Yue over the rooftop railing and reminded her of their interrupted kiss from years earlier.
• Liu Yue remembered their youthful online romance, their painful separation, and how she had missed Shen Jin ever since.
• Shen Jin removed Liu Yue's mask, recognized her as the girl he had loved in high school, and leaned in to kiss her.
• Liu Yue told Shen Jin that seeing him was better than missing him and asked him not to leave again, and Shen Jin agreed.
• Shen Jin ignored repeated calls from an unfamiliar number, kissed Liu Yue, and enclosed the rooftop with tinted glass.

After Kenny reported that the Divine Assembly had taken Afghanistan’s newly advanced Tier 3 Superhuman Terry, Shen Jin refused to intervene until he learned the group planned to create a Tier 4 Superhuman. Shen Jin and Liu Yue flew out to stop the Divine Assembly’s Ibe from completing the fusion, and an emergency assembly was called at Home No. 1.

• Kenny told Shen Jin that an old man from the Divine Assembly had taken Terry, who had advanced to Tier 3 with an Eye of Susanoo potion, and killed soldiers who tried to stop them.
• Shen Jin refused Kenny’s request for help, then discussed nuclear fuel negotiations with Yang Ao and considered increasing electricity production to make more Quantum Armor.
• Shen Jin received new information that the Divine Assembly’s Seed Plan aimed to create a Tier 4 Superhuman by fusing powers, and that Ibe was involved.
• Shen Jin told Liu Yue they had to stop Ibe before he could complete the fusion, and Liu Yue insisted on going with him.
• Shen Jin and Liu Yue flew out to stop the Divine Assembly from returning to its country, while the horn summoned the captains to an emergency assembly at Home No. 1.

Shen Jin learned that Ibe was using the Divine Assembly’s Seed Plan to approach Tier 4 and rushed with 1,200 superhumans toward Afghanistan to stop him. After passing through Heavenly Net Headquarters, Shen Jin’s force flew toward Kandahar City, where the chapter left them approaching the battle.

• Xing Lingmin told Shen Jin that Ibe had absorbed eight seeds and was taking in the ninth in Kandahar City, prompting Shen Jin to order an urgent strike.
• Shen Jin assembled 1,200 superhumans, ordered them to bring their armor and equipment, and prepared them to use a powerful team skill if necessary.
• Shen Jin asked Shang Qian to support the troops and gave Li Moxiao five suits of Nano Armor because he had not made her a Quantum Suit.
• Yang Ao led the force through the Teleporter to Heavenly Net Headquarters, where Liu Jiannan and Kong Long learned about the Seed Plan and Ibe’s threat.
• Shen Jin’s group left Heavenly Net Headquarters by jetpack and flew toward Kandahar City, replenishing their equipment on the way.

Shen Jin and his forces searched Kandahar for Ibe, using thermal imaging and energy detection to sweep the hills southeast of the city. Yang Ao exposed Ibe’s disguise, and Ibe identified Lingmin as a suspected mole before preparing to fight.

• Shang Qian reasoned that Ibe was likely hiding in the hills southeast of Kandahar, and Yang Ao suggested scanning for energy fluctuations.
• Shen Jin divided the 1,200 troops into three groups and ordered them to blast suspicious locations from the air.
• After a systematic search, Yang Ao realized two disguised men had reacted like they knew the troops were overhead and led the force back to their hiding place.
• The troops blasted apart the hill, and Yang Ao accused the two men of using Transformation to disguise themselves as ordinary Afghans.
• Ibe dropped his disguise and suspected Lingmin of being a traitor, while Shen Jin vowed not to let him escape.
