Chapter Summaries

Sun Can fought off a massive swarm of zombies in B City while pursuing a mandatory mission, then accepted that he needed help to go deeper. Elsewhere, Liu Dalao brought his horde to B City seeking something that could help Su Lele reach tier 4, while Xing Lingmin joined a team heading to Panjin City to fight zombies.

• Sun Can used Blazing Vines, his summons, and Quantum Armor to survive a siege by thousands of zombies and kill a tier 3 breeder variant underground, but the battle left his defenses and some skeleton warlords badly damaged.
• After the fighting, Sun Can used Soul Summoning to rebuild his forces and decided to find allies because B City's zombie numbers were exhausting him.
• Liu Dalao swept through zombie hordes from Tang City to B City with fifteen tier 3 zombie guards, intending to find what he needed to raise Su Lele to tier 4.
• Xing Lingmin reflected on her privileged life at Home No. 1 and her unreturned feelings for Shen Jin, then joined a civilian Superhuman team bound for Panjin City to clear zombies.

Liu Shicai and an international team explored an ancient ruin and interpreted five murals showing humanity’s rise through successive stages of superhuman power. A translated letter revealed a conflict with self-proclaimed gods and promised help against the power they erased, before the missing sixth mural appeared and burned away.

• The international team reached a hall in the ancient ruin and examined five murals depicting humanity’s history, from its weakness against fish-men to a battle between black and white figures.
• Professor Jim concluded that the murals showed ancient humans awakening and advancing through the first four gene-lock stages, while Liu Shicai suggested the missing sixth painting had been deliberately erased.
• Liu Shicai revealed that the wall’s writing was a letter from an ancient human to future humanity, describing a faction that went mad and warning that self-proclaimed gods might have won if humanity had lost its superhuman power.
• The ancient murals’ power gathered to form the sixth painting, which depicted a god looking down on worshippers and overwhelmed the team with pressure.
• The sixth painting spontaneously combusted before the team could examine it closely.

Liu Shicai and the other explorers uncovered evidence that powerful ancient humans had destroyed their own civilization, while the surviving paintings suggested a path to Tier 4 power. Seven Wallfacers emerged from seclusion and began reshaping the Heavenly Net, and Hu Shou studied the fifth painting as he prepared to advance.

• The ancient painting burned away without leaving a photograph, and Liu Shicai and the other organizations concluded that ancient humans had fought and erased part of their history.
• Liu Shicai returned to the Heavenly Net and learned that seven Wallfacers had emerged, while Wallfacers No. 11 and No. 12 remained in seclusion.
• The seven Wallfacers took over key Heavenly Net departments, and new orders and research results began reshaping the organization.
• Liu Shicai showed Hu Shou five paintings from the ruins, and Hu Shou said the fifth helped him grasp Tier 4.
• Liu Shicai and Wallfacer No. 4 discussed Hu Shou, Shen Jin, and whether the Heavenly Net should seek Shen Jin's cooperation.
• Shen Jin caught Li Moxiao gossiping about him and smacked her backside while Miao Shubai watched.

Shen Jin agreed to help the Heavenly Net duplicate an ancient array flag and showed the Wallfacers some of Home No. 1’s technology. As the flag began scanning, he wondered whether the Daoist’s strange abilities came from an ancient human legacy.

• Shen Jin learned that the Heavenly Net had confirmed the existence of ancient humans and received an account of their ruins and six warning images.
• Shen Jin realized he could use his Scanner, Pattern Storage, UU Matter Generator, and Replicator to duplicate the flag, so Liu Shicai and Wallfacers No. 4 and No. 5 came to Home No. 1.
• Yang Tianyao visited to see Yang Ao without revealing that he was his father, fearing family ties would hinder Yang Ao’s growth as a Gene Lock Superhuman.
• Shen Jin showed the visitors Home No. 1’s spatial construction abilities and flew them to his research rooftop in his Quantum Armor.
• Wallfacer No. 5 presented a red array flag recovered in Gansu Province, and Shen Jin began scanning it for duplication.

Shen Jin replicated Formation Flags for Heavenly Net and agreed to cooperate with the Wallfacers, who resolved to draw on Home No. 1’s strengths. After discovering he could not replicate Tier 3 Energy Crystal Cores, Shen Jin answered Sun Can’s call for fire support and prepared to lead troops to B City.

• Shen Jin replicated a Formation Flag, and Wallfacer No. 5 demonstrated that Energy Crystal Cores let the Two Aspects Formation trap a stronger opponent.
• Shen Jin agreed to make ten more Formation Flags for four Tier 3 Energy Crystal Cores, and the Wallfacers stayed at Home No. 1 while he produced them.
• The four Heavenly Net visitors praised Home No. 1 and agreed to cooperate deeply with Shen Jin to help solve the Wallfacers’ problems.
• Shen Jin failed to replicate a Tier 3 Energy Crystal Core and decided to make Formation Flags for the Daoist as thanks for his past help.
• Sun Can called Shen Jin for fire support in B City, and Shen Jin recognized that Sun Can was pursuing a system mission to eliminate an important zombie.
• Shen Jin gave the Wallfacers ten Formation Flags, then ordered Yang Ao to select 2,000 people to accompany him to B City while the remaining forces continued fighting in Panjin City.

Home No. 1’s forces advanced through Panjin City while Shen Jin arranged for D City’s factions to join a campaign to clear neighboring Yingkou City. The chapter also showed Home No. 1 expanding its financial and military support as Ma Xiangnan’s branch traded grain, bought defenses, and planned comforts for its troops.

• More than ten thousand Superhumans, supported by Home No. 1 and the local Heavenly Net Branch, attacked the remaining zombies in Panjin City.
• Xia Anbang gathered D City’s four major factions to plan an assault on Yingkou City, and Zhao Chao promised that Home No. 1 would establish a frontline safe zone and provide logistics.
• Xia Anbang agreed to launch the Yingkou City operation the morning after next, after Zhao Chao said Shen Jin could establish the safe zone in one day.
• Ma Xiangnan sent troops to help clear Panjin City and brought four hundred tonnes of rice to Home No. 1, receiving 720,000 Home Coins in exchange.
• Ma Xiangnan signed a contract for protective walls around his headquarters, then planned to spend the remaining funds on fresh food and a movie for his soldiers.

Shen Jin joined Sun Can in B City to investigate a powerful zombie, only to discover a gigantic plant-like creature that might control or produce other zombies. They prepared to test its abilities while keeping their distance from the Tier 3 flying zombies.

• Shen Jin brought 1,500 veteran Tier 2 members and 500 new Tier 1 peak members to support Sun Can, who had been advancing cautiously because Tier 3 flying zombies dominated the skies.
• Shen Jin proposed using a teleporter to bypass the zombie-filled route, then flew with Sun Can to the department store where Sun Can's target was hiding.
• A giant zombie attacked them through the department store roof, forcing Shen Jin and Sun Can to escape into the sky.
• Shen Jin and Sun Can watched the giant zombie separate smaller creatures from its body and realized it was a two-hundred-meter-tall plant zombie with immense energy.
• Shen Jin and Sun Can suspected the plant zombie could control or grow other zombies, then decided Sun Can would descend to test its abilities while Shen Jin stood ready to flee.

Sun Can tested the rooted Plant Zombie and escaped with Shen Jin’s copied space ability after being trapped by its poisonous mist and hordes of minions. Shen Jin then led the squad through a fortified ground assault, using Sun Can’s fire buffs and flaming vines to repel waves of zombies as the battle in T District continued into evening.

• Sun Can attacked the Plant Zombie’s purple eye, wounded its trunk with his flaming sword, and was driven back by poisonous mist and swarming zombies.
• The Plant Zombie sealed the rooftop and walls, trapping Sun Can until Shen Jin opened a space portal and pulled him out.
• Shen Jin gave Sun Can three portions of copied Space-based Special Ability Food, and they agreed to eliminate the Plant Zombie’s minions before attacking it directly.
• Shen Jin returned with Sun Can to the completed bunker, placed a [Beacon] to aid recovery, and ordered the squad to advance on the ground.
• Sun Can gave more than two thousand fighters fire-enhanced attacks, helping them burn through the first wave of thousands of zombies.
• Sun Can used a green branch and flames to cover the bunker in blazing thorny vines, which repelled attacking Flying Zombies as the fighting continued through the day.

Shen Jin discovered that the system had reduced the World Coin rewards for killing zombies, then spent 5,000 coins on a disappointing potion draw. Meanwhile, Sun Li’s group arrived in Moscow to negotiate with the Black Bear Organization and entered a bakery, where their arrival startled the staff and guards.

• Shen Jin and Sun Can’s forces killed 625,443 zombies after a day-long battle, and both men realized they had gained substantial rewards from working together.
• Shen Jin found that the permanent zombie-killing mission rewards had changed after the time lock activated, sharply reducing the World Coins earned for lower-tier zombies.
• Shen Jin assessed the limits of Home No. 1’s laser guns and crossbows, then spent 5,000 World Coins on ten random potions and received no potion he could use.
• Sun Li’s group surveyed Moscow and prepared to meet the Black Bear Organization to arrange a trade, including seeking its Beast Taming Technique.
• Sun Li’s group approached a bakery, and Huo Zhenqiu used his ability to disarm and move five Black Bear Organization guards aside.
• The bakery’s workers backed down when they saw Sun Li’s group, and two young men went to fetch warm bread and specialty jam.

Sun Li led Home No. 1’s team to Moscow to negotiate with the Black Bear Organization, overpowering Kabafsky’s forces before reaching a trade agreement with Andrei. The team returned home through a Teleporter, leaving Andrei and the others astonished by their spatial technology.

• Sun Li’s team confronted Kabafsky after he ordered them seized, and they defeated his bear riders and soldiers without killing them.
• Andrei arrived with thousands of superhumans, recognized Home No. 1, and agreed to negotiate after Sun Li released the injured fighters.
• Sun Li and Andrei signed a trade agreement exchanging equipment, potions, and crossbows for Tier 3 and Tier 2 crystal cores, though they did not agree on the Beast Taming Technique.
• Sun Li took the white bear and led his team into the Moore Apartments, where they used the Teleporter to return to Home No. 1.
• Andrei and the other superhumans entered the building and discovered the Teleporter, realizing that Sun Li’s group had used spatial teleportation.

Shen Jin and Sun Can’s forces pushed through B City, using a teleporter and Industrial TNT to destroy a massive zombie horde before collecting a huge reward. After deciding to rest before attacking the boss near the department store, the story shifted to Liu Dalao, who continued toward a zombie he hoped could restore Lele’s sanity and help him reach Tier 4.

• Shen Jin advanced toward the East Fourth Ring Road with Sun Li and the Super Squad, but the growing zombie horde overwhelmed their bunker and forced everyone to retreat through the [Teleporter].
• Shen Jin planted [Industrial TNT] in the abandoned bunker and detonated it, killing roughly 115,000 zombies, including Tier 3 zombies.
• Sun Li lured the survivors to the next bunker, where the Superhuman Brigades resumed their attack while Sun Can cleared the green-glowing zombies inside the department store.
• Shen Jin counted more than 1.4 million zombie kills and 162,420 [World Coins], while Sun Can reached level 39; they agreed to rest before facing the boss the next morning.
• Liu Dalao led his Zombie Horde through B City, planning to replace weaker zombies with stronger ones as he sought the zombie that could restore Lele’s sanity and help him advance to Tier 4.

Shen Jin and Sun Can led more than 2,000 Superhumans in an assault on the Plant Zombie, using fusion techniques and buffs to overwhelm its defenses. The battle continued as Wang Yue entered its poisonous mist unharmed, and Sun Can drove an enormous saber into its eye.

• Shen Jin organized the Superhumans into twenty fusion teams and prepared teleporters as an escape route while assigning Sun Can the role of main attacker.
• Sun Can boosted the fighters with his divine buffs, and the fusion teams tore open the department store and exposed the Plant Zombie.
• Earth Elementals pulled out several of the Plant Zombie’s roots, while Metal Elementals burned through its branches; the zombie then released poisonous mist that damaged the Earth Elementals.
• At Sun Li’s request, Wang Yue entered the poisonous mist, absorbed its energy, and resisted the Plant Zombie’s psychic blast.
• Sun Can ate Shen Jin’s fruit, enlarged his saber to forty meters, and cleaved through the Plant Zombie’s energy wave before stabbing its purple eye.

Shen Jin’s forces destroyed the Plant Zombie’s exposed body after Wang Yue harassed its eye and Li Zhe’s Eight-Hundred-Armed Asura carved it apart. But the zombie remained alive, apparently rooted underground, while every zombie in B City rushed toward the battlefield.

• The Plant Zombie unleashed a psychic shock wave that stunned the fighters, but Wang Yue resisted its effects and attacked its purple eye, absorbing energy while Sun Can’s Vampires joined him.
• The Plant Zombie shielded its eye with vines and knocked the Eight-Hundred-Armed Asura aside, until the Rubber Man Fusion Technique restrained its branches and created an opening for Li Zhe’s assault.
• Li Zhe’s Eight-Hundred-Armed Asura sliced across the Plant Zombie, then Shen Jin’s forces launched a coordinated attack as Sun Can enlarged himself and split the zombie’s eye and helmet with a powerful strike.
• The Metal Elementals cut apart the Plant Zombie’s wounded body while the Earth Elementals pulled its sprawling, dangerous roots from the ground.
• Sun Can warned Shen Jin that the Plant Zombie was still alive, and Wang Yue reported that its head contained no energy crystal core.
• X-Ray Eyes spotted an overwhelming horde of zombies converging on the battlefield, so Shen Jin ordered everyone to keep tearing out the roots and retreat if they could not destroy the main body within two minutes.

Shen Jin, Sun Can, and the Super Squad attacked the Plant Zombie’s underground true body as B City’s zombie horde closed in, but they failed to destroy it before reinforcements arrived. With the Zombie Horde Fusion approaching and Y3 Zombies attacking, Shen Jin and the others faced an urgent retreat.

• Shen Jin ordered the fighters to attack the Plant Zombie for two minutes while preparing [Teleporters] for evacuation.
• Sun Can used a Senzu Bean and a Tier 3 Energy Crystal Core to restore his strength, then dug underground with his summons as the Super Squad and Earth Elementals attacked the roots.
• Sun Can and the Earth Elementals exposed the Plant Zombie’s true body, a gigantic tadpole covered in human faces, and damaged its thickest root.
• The Plant Zombie unleashed its roots, collapsing the surrounding ground, while the Earth Elementals shielded the fighters and the Super Squad struggled to destroy the regenerating true body.
• Shen Jin sent 1,100 fighters through the [Teleporters], and Wang Yue joined the underground battle as Sun Li’s team prepared to cover the retreat.
• Ten Y3 Zombies swooped toward the underground fighters, and X-Ray Eyes warned Shen Jin that the Zombie Horde Fusion was about to arrive as Bai Hang flashed with white light.

Shen Jin and the Super Squad abandoned their attack on the Plant Zombie when a massive Zombie Amalgamation arrived, but they discovered it was Liu Dalao, who agreed to hold back the surrounding zombies while they finished the fight. After killing the Plant Zombie, Shen Jin gave Liu Dalao its Energy Crystal Core, and the group returned to Home No. 1.

• Shen Jin ordered the Super Squad to retreat from the Plant Zombie when a four-hundred-meter Zombie Amalgamation approached, but he recognized Liu Dalao and learned that he had come to kill the same special zombie.
• Liu Dalao enclosed the team inside his amalgamation and held back the horde while Shen Jin, Sun Can, and the Super Squad attacked the Plant Zombie.
• Sun Can killed the Plant Zombie, and Wang Yue recovered its enormous Energy Crystal Core, which Shen Jin discovered could be disassembled into fifteen ordinary tier 3 cores.
• Shen Jin gave the Energy Crystal Core to Liu Dalao and warned him never to use his power against humans.
• The Super Squad returned through the [Teleporters], and Sun Li destroyed the last [Teleporter] before leaving.

Heavenly Net leaders investigated the mass gathering of zombies in B City and linked it to Home No. 1 and Liu Mou, while Wallfacers No. 9 and No. 10 began planning for a worst-case threat. Meanwhile, Wallfacers No. 4 and No. 5 developed a mechanical Formation Flag and planned to spread formation training across China.

• Heavenly Net observers detected nearly ten million zombies gathering near B City's East Fourth Ring Road and spotted a huge Zombie Horde Fusion above them.
• Han Ming concluded that Home No. 1's forces had likely eliminated two million zombies and escaped using a Teleporter, and identified the intelligent zombie as Liu Mou.
• Wallfacers No. 9 and No. 10 called Shen Jin for help and resolved to accelerate their plan to protect China and humanity if the zombie crisis worsened.

• Wallfacer No. 4 proposed teaching formation studies nationwide and ordering more genuine Formation Flags from Home No. 1, and Wallfacer No. 5 agreed to arrange it.

After Heavenly Net launched a nationwide offensive, Shen Jin’s forces continued clearing Yingkou City while Yang Ao reported their progress and shared his interpretation of the fourth painting. Shen Jin encouraged Yang Ao to pursue his own path, then turned to relaxation and planned further support for his soldiers’ mental health.

• Heavenly Net ordered its personnel to attack, and superhuman armies across China poured out to fight the zombies.
• Shen Jin told his captains to keep Home No. 1’s operations on their own schedule while his exhausted B City team rested.
• Yang Ao reported that his forces had cleared Yingkou City's urban area, killed about eight hundred thousand zombies, and lost one squad member.
• Yang Ao interpreted the fourth painting’s black and white figures as one person divided into distinct mental states, and Shen Jin urged him to focus on reaching Tier 4 through his own combat path.
• Shen Jin arranged comedy and counseling for his soldiers, visited Liu Yue, and then called for Little White while preparing to spend his World Coins.

Shen Jin agreed to help Sun Can establish a team at Home No. 1, then used Bai Hang’s luck-enhancing ability while drawing several new mods. He ended the chapter suspecting his luck had run out after obtaining Power Converters.

• Sun Can asked to stay at Home No. 1 and form his own team, and Shen Jin offered him recruits, a training site, equipment, and supplies.
• Sun Can wondered whether Shen Jin could help locate the sword system’s owner, but Shen Jin denied knowing any sword experts.
• Bai Hang came to Shen Jin’s Workshop, where Shen Jin petted him and activated his passive good-luck effect.
• Shen Jin spent World Coins to obtain the GraviSuite, Advanced Machines, Integrated Tinkering, Tinkers’ Construct Tool Leveling, QuantumPack, Advanced Mining Tools, and Electric Magic Tools mods.
• Shen Jin drew Power Converters and stopped, convinced that his luck had run out.

Shen Jin examined newly unlocked equipment mods, setting aside two that required unavailable materials or other industrial mods and crafting useful mining and armor upgrades. He discovered that his Advanced Mining Machines had uncovered huge quantities of diamond ore, then ended by wondering whether the Level Enhancement Table could upgrade a SlashBlade.

• Shen Jin stopped drawing mods after discovering that Electric Magic Tools required nonexistent magical materials and Power Converters had no use with his current equipment.
• Shen Jin crafted an Advanced Iridium Drill with automatic pickup, expanded mining, vein mining, storage slots, and greater power capacity.
• Shen Jin checked his four Advanced Mining Machines and found chests full of diamond ore from depths of 160 to 180 kilometers; breaking one block yielded 195 diamonds.
• Shen Jin reviewed QuantumPack and decided to equip himself and the captains with Quantum Toolboxes and Large Quantum Batteries, while postponing battery upgrades for the Energy Storage Units.
• Shen Jin discovered that the Tinkers' Construct Tool Leveling mod contained a Level Enhancement Table that let Tinkers' Construct equipment level up, and he wondered if it worked like SlashBlade.

Shen Jin explored several new Tinkers' Construct and industrial expansion mods, putting weapon leveling and mass production to work while discovering that compressed cobblestone could form exceptionally strong defenses. After planning to reinforce key city-wall chokepoints, he turned to the final mod, GraviSuite.

• Shen Jin consecrated his Alloy Greatsword, tested its leveling by killing a zombie, then consecrated Li Zhe’s eight weapons and sent him off to gain experience.
• Shen Jin explored Total Tinkers’ new weapons and explosive arrows, then organized their mass production through an automated assembly line.
• Shen Jin crafted a Singularity Compressor, tested triple compressed cobblestone against his Battleaxe, and found that even his powerful strike barely chipped it.
• Shen Jin built 300 Singularity Compressors to mass-produce triple compressed cobblestone for key city-wall chokepoints.
• Shen Jin reviewed the remaining Advanced Machines, deciding to give the Centrifugal Extractor to Old Fu and trade other machines to the Heavenly Net for information about ancient ruins.
• Shen Jin finished reviewing Advanced Machines and opened the GraviSuite expansion mod.
