Chapter Summaries

As the ocean war’s first battles left humanity with catastrophic losses, Long An Guo learned that Tundra Shelter was dominating the Third War Zone and ordered nearby forces to support its success. Lu Yongyi rejected calls to charge the foreign races surrounding the Tundra Fleet, insisting that reinforcements were coming, though he did not reveal who they were.

• Humanity and the foreign races fought through two waves of battle, leaving humans with about thirteen percent casualties and the enemy with more than four percent.
• A war report showed that the Seventh War Zone suffered heavy losses while Polar Bear’s Fifth War Zone held at six percent casualties.
• Long An Guo learned that Tundra Shelter’s Third War Zone had only two percent casualties while inflicting six percent on the enemy, and he ordered the Second and Sixth War Zones to delay enemy reinforcements.
• Tundra Fleet captains urged Lu Yongyi to break through the encirclement, but he warned that charging would leave the exhausted raft warriors exposed and destroy their battle line.
• Lu Yongyi acknowledged the fleet would slowly die if it waited, then claimed they had reinforcements, leaving the captains confused.

The foreign races launched a decapitation attack on the Tundra, damaging its hull while Shen Ke led an underwater inspection. Shen Ke discovered evidence of human collusion and chased a disguised soldier, but faint sounds warned her that the enemy had begun an all-out attack.

• Shen Ke organized the women aboard the Tundra to manufacture ammunition as they worried about the war and whether Su-Su God would come to their aid.
• The Tundra was rocked by explosions, its lights went out, and arrow shafts fatally injured a woman as Shen Ke ordered everyone to secure themselves.
• Shen Ke went to the deck and learned from Lu Yongyi that foreign races had launched a decapitation operation against the Tundra.
• Shen Ke inspected the hull underwater and found a breach that had damaged about one and a half Watertight Compartments, which she said would take half a day to repair.
• Shen Ke suspected a soldier was disguised and pursuing him underwater, then heard sounds that signaled the foreign races had begun their all-out attack.

After the Tundra Fleet suffered catastrophic losses, Lu Yongyi organized rescue, medical, and repair teams and learned that Ying Tianlong had betrayed them to the alien races. As another tsunami approached, Lu urged the survivors to hold out for reinforcements, unaware that a drawing board showed a mass of red dots converging on them.

• Lu Yongyi learned that the Tundra Fleet had lost 231,000 people, while Kong Yangyu, Yang Chan, and Dang Qi organized survivors into rescue, medical, and repair teams.
• The survivors searched wrecked ships, rescued trapped people, gathered supplies, and prepared defenses as the next tsunami drew nearer.
• A captured spy confessed that Ying Tianlong had made a deal with the alien races and sent 325 people to attack the Tundra.
• Lu Yongyi ordered the fleet to withstand two more waves and told them reinforcements would arrive, though he knew the drawing board showed red dots rapidly converging on the fleet.

After the game began its third upgrade and cut off outside contact, Su Mo calculated how soon the Hope Flag could reach the beleaguered Tundra Fleet and prepared its rockets and missiles. The fleet received ammunition from Su Mo, but just as its captains began to hope they could hold out, an urgent order called for a countercharge.

• The game announced an upgrade after creature deaths exceeded the Prediction Line, disabling all functions except Storage Space and regional chat for nearly five hours.
• Su Mo sent the Tundra Fleet 100,000 rounds of ammunition, while the Hope Flag raced toward the fleet and Gonggong estimated its arrival at the navigation point.
• Su Mo calculated that the Hope Flag could reach the fleet in time to rescue it and revealed twelve R-1 Rockets and five R-3 Ballistic Missiles aboard the ship.
• Shen Ke produced fifty crates of ammunition, lifting the fleet captains' spirits as they discussed how to use it against the alien races.
• A voice from the Command Room ordered everyone to prepare for a countercharge and break through.

Lu Yongyi ordered the exhausted fleet to evacuate while he and the remaining defenders held the rear against the growing alien force. The raft fleet escaped in fourteen directions, leaving fewer than twenty thousand people to face 120,000 aliens as the decisive battle began.

• Lu Yongyi revealed that the alien cloud was rapidly growing and ordered the raft fleet to break through while the Tundra and its defenders held the rear.
• Zhang Long supported the evacuation, and Lu Yongyi told the captains to leave while he stayed behind to face the aliens.
• Liu Neng and the other captains refused to abandon Lu Yongyi, accepted their likely deaths, and requested Explosive Packs for the coming fight.
• At 9:03, the 150,000 people aboard twenty-two rafts began preparing to evacuate in fourteen directions as the defenders launched explosions into the alien formation.
• Between 9:19 and 9:45, all the Raft Ferries departed, leaving fewer than twenty thousand defenders behind; the alien force stopped gathering at about 120,000.
• At 10:03, the aliens ended their wait and launched the decisive battle against the Tundra Fleet.

The Tundra Fleet halted the Land Alien Race’s first assault, but Ying Tianlong captured four Raft Ferries and threatened the evacuees to force the fleet to surrender ships or Lu Yongyi. Lu Yongyi unexpectedly answered with cheerful defiance, haggling with Ying Tianlong over the exchange and leaving the captains stunned.

• The Tundra Fleet used bows, crossbows, and underwater Explosive Packs to stop the Alien Race’s first assault, but its ammunition dwindled to only a few volleys.
• The captains discovered that Ying Tianlong had captured four Raft Ferries carrying twenty-six thousand people and was threatening to execute hostages unless the evacuees returned or the fleet surrendered ships.
• The captains offered to exchange themselves for the hostages, then rushed to stop Lu Yongyi from sacrificing himself.
• The captains found Lu Yongyi laughing and furiously insulting Ying Tianlong in the Area Channel.
• Lu Yongyi rejected Ying Tianlong’s initial terms and began negotiating a higher number of hostages in exchange for each ship.

Lu Yongyi used hostage exchanges and a staged surrender to keep Ying Tianlong distracted while the tsunami arrived, then sailed the Tundra toward the enemy position. Ying Tianlong discovered Lu Yongyi’s lifeline had changed and tried to force his hand, but the hostages suddenly thanked Ying Tianlong, leaving him stunned when a familiar name appeared in the Area Channel.

• Lu Yongyi negotiated the exchange of ships for hostages and sent Liu Neng and Zhang Long to deliver two small ships, securing the release of 3,200 people.
• As the tsunami struck, Lu Yongyi continued the exchanges while the Raft Ferries returned, and Ying Tianlong grew suspicious when they sailed past the nonhuman defenses.
• Ying Tianlong used a pocket watch and Lu Yongyi’s hair to discover that Lu Yongyi’s lifeline had been extended, then threatened to kill hostages unless Lu Yongyi brought the Tundra over.
• Lu Yongyi pretended to give in, staged an emotional farewell, and sailed the Tundra toward Ying Tianlong’s position as the hostages mourned his supposed sacrifice.
• When Lu Yongyi reached the defensive line, the fleet and hostages abruptly thanked Ying Tianlong, and Ying Tianlong collapsed after seeing a familiar name in the Area Channel.

Ying Tianlong’s betrayal began to unravel as Lu Yongyi revealed that Su Mo was coming to reinforce the fleet, prompting Ying’s followers to turn against him. The chapter ended as twelve blazing objects appeared on the horizon, heralding Su Mo’s arrival.

• Ying Tianlong demanded that Lu Yongyi exchange himself for the Tundra, and Lu agreed despite the fleet captains’ protests.
• Lu Yongyi revealed that Su Mo was the fleet’s reinforcement, and Su Mo’s entry into the Area Channel granted its players stamina recovery and Disaster Points.

• Ying Tianlong warned his followers that Su Mo would not spare them, then looked toward the approaching lights as the sky brightened.
• Twelve luminous objects appeared over the horizon, and the survivors recognized them as the sign of Su Mo’s arrival.

Twelve rockets devastated the alien force, allowing the Tundra Fleet and the survivors to counterattack and surround the remaining aliens. Lu Yongyi captured Ying Tianlong and kept him alive as the fleet awaited Su, whose arrival prompted the survivors to welcome him.

As the survivors began repairing their ships, Su Mo said that only the alien defensive position could help him trigger the tsunami he planned for the final day of the Three Races War.

Su Mo welcomed Su Chan aboard Hope and prepared to make a dramatic entrance as the game began its Version 3.0 update, titled "Real Survival." The update warned of near-total extinction, restricted many game functions, and opened five great rifts in the sky, leaving Su Mo to face the coming conclusion of humanity and alien entanglement.

• Su Mo reunited with Su Chan, sent Lu Yongyi and the captains away, and told his sister to stay in the Captain's Cabin while he prepared a sound system and planned to sing.

• Hope’s completion reached 60%, placing it first on the Disaster Resistance ranking with 67.5 million points, and Su Mo opened its livestream to a rapidly growing audience.
• Connie’s livestream revealed that the Five Great Royal Clans planned to sacrifice both humans and alien races, prompting fear and anger among the alien viewers.
