Chapter Summaries

Yang Bo studied Gene Serum history and learned that using human material could create zombie-like creatures, but he also found that human serum could be used on animals. He went to the Evidence Center seeking the killers’ corpses and discovered a suspicious search underway, leaving him uncertain who had set the trap.

• Zhou Rui and Fatty Boss discussed Yang Bo’s relationship with Zhou Rui and Wang Muxue, then recorded the costs of producing the serums.

• Red Earl discussed cloning nobles and his desire to torture and kill them, while Yang Bo stayed hidden and decided to scout the base before acting.

Yang Bo discovered an Intelligent Manufacturing Base hidden in a mountain and reported its location to Zhou Rui, who alerted the authorities. As the authorities stormed the base, Yang Bo used the chaos to take biological samples, while the raid left the base’s researchers and defenders overwhelmed.

• Yang Bo explored the base’s underwater passages, found its connection to an Underground River, and decided against taking control of the base because of the clones and the risks.
• Yang Bo sent the base’s location to Zhou Rui, who passed the information to the authorities and earned official cooperation and permission to use ten mecha.
• The authorities deployed forces to the Underground River entrance, broke into the base, and began fighting its automated defenses.
• Yang Bo hid in a laboratory, took some biological samples, and disappeared as an electromagnetic attack disabled the base and its researchers.
• The raiding robots captured the researchers and brutally shocked the wounded red-haired man, while Yang Bo noticed their equipment did not appear to belong to March Star officials.

Yang Bo watched the military seize an underground clone and manufacturing base, then saw officials present the raid as a police victory and turn the clone scandal into a lucrative political issue. After testing the samples he had taken, he discovered that the Rage Power Killer’s corpse had a Life Attribute and decided to give Annie a Non-Attribute medicine.

• Yang Bo watched military forces overwhelm the base, capture its occupants, and remove the unfinished clones, then left without taking pharmaceutical materials because the missing supplies could be tracked.
• Yang Bo watched the Public Security Department’s press conference omit the military’s role and announce that the base held more than two hundred brainwashed clones and thousands of Biological Samples from famous figures and politicians.

The chapter ended with Yang Bo lending Annie money for a villa and realizing Fatty Boss had once tried to trap him with a house loan.

• Fatty Boss told Yang Bo they could profit from the Mutated Creature by trading its Naming Right and seeking councilor privileges, but Yang Bo was reluctant to become a councilor.

• Zhang Bozhen said ordinary citizens could apply to buy Unmanned Mechas and guard robots, and licensed Mecha Pilots could purchase restricted Military Mechas below Level Eight.
• Fatty Boss and Zhou Rui urged Yang Bo to consider buying an Unmanned Mecha or a Bionic Robot guard, but Yang Bo declined for the time being.
