Chapter Summaries

Old Wang launched a campaign to persuade Zhengzhou’s survivors to settle in Home No. 1, while Shen Jin offered Heavenly Net support to reclaim Zhengzhou from its zombie swarm. After the Zombie Tyrant’s capture, Home No. 1 reviewed the battle and considered how to defeat another one, as civilian Superhumans recruited Zhengzhou survivors with promises of housing and suspicious USB drives.

• Home No. 1 fed the Zhengzhou survivors plentiful meals and eggs, and Old Wang arranged settlement allowances, housing, and commissions to recruit them as residents.
• After Shen Jin’s group returned with news that Zhengzhou’s Zombie Tyrant had been captured, Zhengzhou’s Heavenly Net personnel asked to go home and eliminate the eight million zombies.
• Shen Jin offered free use of Home No. 1’s teleportation and charging stations and sent the Zombie Slaying 2nd Regiment’s five thousand Superhumans to assist Heavenly Net.
• Shen Jin, Yang Ao, and the others reviewed the battle and concluded that the Zombie Tyrant’s strength and regeneration made it difficult to defeat without Xiao Chen’s burst of power.
• Sun Can laughed that continued fighting would produce another Tier 4 Superhuman, while civilian Superhumans coaxed Zhengzhou survivors into registering for residency with promises of houses and USB drives.

After the Zhengzhou survivors chose to settle at Home No. 1, Shen Jin and his allies prepared for a Zombie Tyrant-led horde from B City and learned more about the Tyrants’ possible origins. Shen Jin then led Hu Shou and the others to a Nether portal, where Sun Can’s flame finally activated it.

• Director Zhu discovered that most Zhengzhou survivors wanted to stay at Home No. 1, so he returned to Zhengzhou with only about a hundred thousand people.

Shen Jin led Sun Can, Shang Qian, Hu Shou, and the others through the Nether Portal to explore the Nether Dimension, where they discovered powerful fire energy and creatures unlike those on Earth. Sun Can’s abilities grew stronger there, and as the group explored on foot, he suddenly warned everyone to stay away from him.

• Sun Can activated Shen Jin’s Nether Portal, and the group entered together with Shang Qian and Hu Shou.
• The group arrived in a dangerous world of lava and red smoke, where their helmets warned of harmful conditions and Hu Shou confirmed the gravity was much stronger than Earth’s.
• Sun Can used Earth Enchanting to draw in the Nether’s fire energy, strengthening the group; Shen Jin and Hu Shou found that absorbing the energy could improve their bodies, though it hurt.

Sun Can advanced to Tier 4 in the Nether after eating Shen Jin’s Invincible Body Fruit, but he remained trapped by his inner demon and went berserk. As Sun Can pursued Shen Jin and Shang Qian, Shen Jin urged her to escape through the portal while he stayed behind.

• Sun Can began advancing in the Nether’s lava, and Shen Jin’s group set up a defensive formation while absorbing the area’s powerful fire energy.

• Shen Jin let Shang Qian and the others retreat, then equipped a new GraviSuite and fought Sun Can with Lightning Time and the Eight Trigrams Immortal-Slaying Formation.

• Sun Can’s consciousness expelled Shen Jin, leaving him gravely injured as his summons were driven back and his suit began automatically replenishing his energy.
• Shen Jin refused to die before ending the apocalypse and protecting humanity, and the Nether began to tremble.

Shen Jin broke through to Tier 4 while fighting Sun Can, only to learn that Sun Can had pretended to be possessed to provoke his advancement. After the group returned to Earth, Shen Jin offered his Invincible Body Fruit to help other Superhumans advance and turned his attention to the Nether’s treasures and the Black Bear Organization.

• Shen Jin’s group returned to Earth, secured both ends of the portal, and Shen Jin considered the Nether’s resources and the Black Bear Organization.

After reaching Tier 4, Shen Jin unlocked the [Truth of the World] module and learned that ancient cultivators had created three artifacts for humanity’s chosen ones.

The Wallfacers concluded that the Zombie Dynasty was invading Earth, but Shen Jin knew their theory was incomplete because the ancient cultivators’ enemy was still alive.

• Shen Jin teleported the Zombie Slaying Squad’s 5,200 Nether riders to Italy, where they scattered the leaderless zombie horde and then left Meng San to protect the survivors.
• Lu Daizhen used her mind-reading ability to translate the captured Zombie Tyrant’s words and expose the truths hidden beneath its lies.
• The Zombie Tyrant revealed that it came from the Zombie Dynasty to conquer Earth, and that its lord had sent generals as a vanguard to gather humans for their flesh and blood.
• The Wallfacers inferred that the Zombie Dynasty had released the zombie virus as preparation for a full invasion and that ancient Tier 5 superhumans might already be dead.
• Shen Jin rejected Wallfacer No. 3’s conclusion, knowing that the ancient cultivators’ enemy was still alive and that humanity’s enemies might extend beyond the zombies.

• Shen Jin told the gathered leaders that ancient cultivators had warned humanity about enemies who stole Earth’s spiritual energy, and the system confirmed the enemies were still alive and could observe Earth.

• Shen Jin and the Wallfacers concluded that the ancient Tier 5 Superhumans and the Zombie Dynasty shared responsibility for humanity’s deaths, and planned to kill the Zombie Tyrants and ancient Tier 5 Superhumans.
• Shen Jin gave thirteen Tier 4 Enhancement Potions to Hu Shou, Li Moxiao, Stephen, and the others; Hu Shou and Li Moxiao awakened the light of the mind, while Hu Shou’s Blaze, Shen Jin’s Malphite, and Sun Can’s Ghast absorbed its power.
• The team flew to India, where they found a seemingly endless horde of zombies but could not locate any Zombie Tyrants among them.
• After Shen Jin asked Hu Shou for advice, Chu Xu arrived with a captured Zombie Tyrant and suggested using it as bait to draw out its companions.
