• Han agreed to wait for Su Qiao, then considered moving their home and dismantling parts of the Underground Room to make it more comfortable for her.
• Su Qiao completed the computer modification and told Professor Jiang he could insert the USB drive.
• Su Qiao opened the drive and found a document with twelve images: six architectural blueprints and six topographic maps.
• Liu Yue and the others wondered whether the plans showed the old Northwest Base, while Professor Jiang studied them closely.
• Captain Gao suggested the blueprints might belong to a research institute or a weapons facility, but Professor Jiang said the old papers and handwriting showed they were from a thousand years earlier.

Su Qiao received a flood of memories from 444 about having visited this plane 300 years after the apocalypse, but the sudden information left her dizzy. Han took her to rest, revealing that he could summon a bed and a glowing pearl from his storage space, while Su Qiao became more certain of her guess about him.

• 444 told Su Qiao she had come to this plane 300 years after the apocalypse and uploaded the plane's memories into her mind.

• Han told Su Qiao to close her eyes and rest, but he could not provide medicine because he did not know where to find any.
• Su Qiao claimed she had already taken medicine, but Han called her a liar and went to fetch her bag from the Research Lab.

Su Qiao discovered that Han could produce objects from a spatial pocket, though he did not understand what it was, and fell asleep before asking him more. At dawn, Professor Jiang was found injured and the USB drive, medicine formula, and Su Qiao’s computer were missing, causing the group to suspect Su Qiao and Han.

• Su Qiao asked Han to produce water and realized he could summon a bottle of mineral water from his spatial pocket.
• Su Qiao wondered why Han had lived in an Underground Cave and slept in a Stone Coffin, but Han covered her eyes and told her to sleep.
• At dawn, Su Qiao and Han followed the commotion to the rest room, where Liu Yue treated the unconscious Professor Jiang.
• Liu Yue reported that Professor Jiang had been attacked and that the USB drive and medicine formula might have been stolen; Gao Cheng found Su Qiao’s mini-computer smashed.
• Ding Hongguang suspected a mole, and Liuzi and the others looked suspiciously at Su Qiao and Han because Su Qiao had left the group and returned with Han.

Su Qiao and Han were suspected of stealing the USB drive and Medicinal Formula, but Professor Jiang identified the culprits as talking Mutated Humans. The group was left wondering how the Mutated Humans had entered unnoticed and why they wanted the research.

• Jiang Keyun accused Han, but Su Qiao argued that he had no reason to sneak around and could easily defeat the team.
• Gao Cheng defended Su Qiao and Han, pointing out that Su Qiao had already read the USB drive and had no need to steal it.
• Professor Jiang woke and said that a speaking Mutated Human had attacked him.

Su Qiao and the team realized that an intelligent Mutated Human leader had stolen supplies, but they postponed pursuing him while Professor Jiang recovered. Then they discovered Su Suya had been injured and abducted, and the team began searching for clues.

• Su Qiao explained that an intelligent Mutated Human leader might steal supplies to improve his intelligence and awaken abilities, and Professor Jiang agreed.
• Gao Cheng proposed resting for two days before pursuing the Mutated Humans because Professor Jiang was injured and their camp was unknown.

• Su Qiao took Han and chose a direction to search.

Su Qiao suspected Ding Hongguang of being a mole and prepared a trackable Special Perfume to trace the Mutated Humans. When she went looking for the man who had flown off, she found the others gathered outside, staring at someone flying overhead.

• Su Qiao and Ding Hongguang suspected that Ding Hongguang was deliberately framing her, and she told him to keep watch on the man.
• Su Qiao decided to make Special Perfume so she could track Mutated Humans without alerting them.
• Su Qiao completed the perfume in the Research Lab and learned that the man had flown out through a window.
• Su Qiao left the lab to look for him and found the team watching a flying person overhead.
• Gao Cheng warned the team to find cover and stay alert.

Han returned with a wild boar after secretly searching for food, and Su Qiao tried to keep his flight from drawing attention. He offered her the meat, then revealed he was hungry for the blood-pellet meatballs she made, while privately planning to take her to a new home later.

• Han flew back and dropped a huge wild boar in front of Su Qiao, saying he had caught it for her.

• Su Qiao realized Han had gone hunting because he wanted food and promised to make him meatballs.
• Han offered to catch more meat for Su Qiao, but she said she only liked eating meat.

Su Qiao explained Han’s flight and memory loss to Professor Jiang and the team, while Han insisted that his name was Han. The team remained unsure of his origins, and Gao Cheng suggested he might have belonged to a mercenary group.

• Han agreed to go hunting with Su Qiao next time instead of leaving without telling her.
• Gao Cheng and the others questioned Han’s identity and asked how he could fly.
• Professor Jiang explained that rare Ability Users elsewhere could fly or transform into animals, then asked whether Han was Li Yonghua and had been with the Exploration Team.
• Su Qiao said Han only remembered the name she gave him and described finding him injured in the Underground Cave, where he instinctively flew them out.
• Professor Jiang reasoned that Han’s lost memories had not erased his instincts and concluded that Team Eight had likely died fighting Mutated Humans underground.
• Gao Cheng suggested Han might have come from a mercenary team or a small independent group.

• Professor Jiang said the dean had mass-produced High-level Ability Users with potions, making 80% of the Northwest Base’s non-elderly and non-child population Ability Users.

Professor Jiang shared the Northwest Base’s history and reassured Su Qiao that her sister was likely still alive after being abducted. The group still did not know who had taken her or where to search.

• Professor Jiang said his family diaries recorded that the dean’s pet was a level-ten Mutated Golden Tiger and that his ancestors had served Su Qiao.
• Su Qiao dismissed 444’s teasing about acknowledging Professor Jiang’s ancestors as relatives and reflected on the danger of revealing the age and identity of the person behind her.
• Jiang Keyun criticized Su Qiao, but Professor Jiang reprimanded her and told her to learn from the team leader.
• Professor Jiang comforted Su Qiao that her sister was unlikely to be in immediate danger because the abductors had taken her alive.
• Su Qiao asked who had abducted her sister, Gao Cheng admitted he did not know, and Liu Muyu asked where they should search.

Professor Jiang explained that Su Suya had likely been captured to guide her to a place the Su Family believed she knew. Su Qiao learned that the present-day Su Family descended from the dean’s cousins, and Liu Muyu pressed Professor Jiang to reveal the place’s location.

• Professor Jiang suggested he knew where to look for Su Suya, and Gao Cheng ushered the group into the Research Lab so he could explain.
• Professor Jiang said Su Suya’s captors probably wanted her to lead them somewhere because they believed the Su Family’s valued ability user knew its location.
• Su Qiao questioned how the Su Family could descend from the dean, who had no children, and Professor Jiang explained that the dean had several cousins whose descendants formed the current family.
• Su Qiao realized the family belonged to Su Yunyan’s relatives, while 444 checked the memory sphere and recognized whom Professor Jiang meant.
• Liu Muyu showed his anxiety and asked Professor Jiang where the place was.

Professor Jiang told the group that the dean and her husband might have been buried in a hidden tomb, which could contain the dean’s research and valuable formulas. He hinted that Su Qiao’s maps and blueprints from the USB drive might help them find it.

• Professor Jiang revealed that the tomb was said to hold the dean’s and her husband’s remains, and that the Base Leader had secretly left the base after the dean died.
• Su Qiao wondered what Han had placed in their tomb, while Han focused on preparing to roast the wild boar.
• Professor Jiang explained that people who searched for the tomb either found nothing or never returned, and some believed the Base Leader had stopped them.
• Gao Cheng asked whether the Base Leader had taken the dean’s books and research into the tomb, and Professor Jiang agreed.
• Professor Jiang asked whether the group was curious about the mountain maps and architectural blueprints Su Qiao had found on the USB drive.

Su Qiao agreed to try locating the Ancient Tombs, though she was conflicted about leading the group to her own tomb. After examining Han’s changed appearance, she reasoned that the tomb had likely been destroyed long ago and took him somewhere.

• Professor Jiang explained that the blueprints likely showed the locations of Ancient Tombs, and asked Su Qiao to identify the mountain ranges.
• Su Qiao agreed to try, then left the Research Lab with Han to think through the situation.
• Su Qiao examined Han’s face and asked 444 why his appearance and temperament had changed.
• Su Qiao concluded that the tomb might have collapsed after centuries of disasters and told Han she would take him somewhere.

Su Qiao brought Han to the plaza to inspect two fallen bronze statues, but Han’s unusual gifts and 444’s teasing distracted her. After realizing Gao Cheng might detect her near the research institute, Su Qiao used the Dust Removal Art to clean the statues instantly.

• Su Qiao led Han to the plaza and asked him to look at the two bronze statues and see if he remembered anything.
• Han produced a barrel of mineral water and a bundle of patterned cloth when Su Qiao asked for water and a cloth.
• 444 told Su Qiao that Han liked cute things and enjoyed dressing her in cute clothes.
• Han poured the entire barrel of water over the statues, and 444 reminded Su Qiao that Gao Cheng might detect her nearby.
• Su Qiao used the Dust Removal Art to remove dirt and debris from both statues.

Su Qiao showed Han the two battered Bronze Statues and told him they represented the two of them from long ago. She tried to help him remember their past, but Han remained confused, and she decided not to transfer the memories into his mind.

• Su Qiao and Han examined the Bronze Statues, and Han insisted that Su Qiao was pretty while the statues were ugly.
• Su Qiao told Han that the statues depicted them and that they had been together a very long time ago.
• Su Qiao described how they searched for plants and hunted together, and recalled their greedy golden tiger, Little Gold.
• Han reacted irritably to the name Little Gold but did not remember the tiger.
• 444 suggested transferring the memories into Han's mind, but Su Qiao refused because she feared it would confuse him further.

Han recalled fragments of his past with Su Qiao, but he still remembered Golden Hu more clearly than her. He promised Su Qiao they would stay together forever and led her toward the Underground Passage to make grilled meat.

• Han remembered Golden Hu and pulled Su Qiao into his arms, insisting that she belonged to him and promising to beat the tiger to death.
• Han asked Su Qiao to promise they would be together forever, and she agreed.
• Han called Su Qiao “Good Baby,” a nickname she had taught him, while 444 noted that his speech and thinking had improved despite his missing memories.
• Su Qiao suspected that drinking her blood helped Han recover and decided she might give him one small cup a day.
• Han led Su Qiao toward the Underground Passage to make grilled meat, saying Golden Hu could no longer steal it.

Su Qiao investigated the drawings and narrowed down the possible locations of the hidden treasure site while keeping her findings secret. Back at the Research Lab, she discovered that two Mutated Humans had been captured and stopped Professor Jiang from dissecting one of them alive.

• Su Qiao studied Professor Jiang’s rubbings and identified several mountain ranges as likely locations, but she kept her findings to herself.
• Su Qiao lured mutated blue butterflies into baskets and brought them back to the institute.
• Gao Cheng captured two Mutated Humans, and Professor Jiang began examining one in the Research Lab.
• 444 detected a hollow space beneath the corridor, and Su Qiao explained that her secret private lab was hidden there.
• Gao Cheng sensed something unusual in the Mutated Human’s brain, and Su Qiao used Little Four’s scan to stop Professor Jiang from dissecting him alive.

Su Qiao discovered that the Mutated Humans had both control chips and living Gu parasites in their brains, suggesting their enemies possessed advanced researchers and unusual abilities. She decided the group could not leave the next day and needed to make more medicinal powder while she worked toward Foundation Establishment.

• Su Qiao explained that the chips implanted in Mutated Humans were simple devices used to control them, and Gao Cheng and Professor Jiang wondered who was behind them.
• Professor Jiang decided that they still had to go to the tomb and rescue the missing people despite the danger.
• Su Qiao sensed something alive in the Mutated Human’s brain, and 444 found a tiny parasite that Su Qiao identified as Gu.
• Su Qiao suspected that the enemy faction had people skilled in using Gu and resolved to cultivate toward Foundation Establishment.
• 444 warned that someone in their group, possibly the spy who had ambushed Su Qiao, might already be infected, so Su Qiao decided to stay and make more medicinal powder.

After Su Qiao warned Professor Jiang and Gao Cheng that parasites in Mutated Humans’ brains might control people, an examination confirmed that every Mutated Human carried a surviving brain worm. The group reconsidered its plans before departure, while Su Qiao prepared medicine to prevent Gu Worms from invading the body.

• Su Qiao told Professor Jiang and Gao Cheng that worms in Mutated Humans’ brains might be capable of controlling people.
• Gao Cheng decided to delay departure for two days and took teammates out to retrieve three Mutated Human corpses for examination.
• Professor Jiang dissected the corpses and found a worm in each brain that remained alive after its host died.
• Su Qiao gathered rare medicinal herbs with Han and made a large supply of medicine to prevent Gu Worms from entering the body.
• At the meeting before departure, Han insisted that Su Qiao eat and kissed her cheek as a reward, embarrassing the others.
• Su Qiao took Han out of the meeting and told the group to decide when to leave without her input.

Su Qiao explained how her Mental Ability had helped her detect parasites, and Professor Jiang proposed a potion to identify anyone infected. When Professor Jiang began testing everyone, Su Qiao and 444 worried about how the potion might affect Li Hanzheng.

• Liu Yue asked Su Qiao how she had discovered the parasites in the Mutated Humans, and Su Qiao said her Mental Ability was sensitive to living things.
• Jiang Keyun and Ding Hongguang mocked Su Qiao, but Professor Jiang defended her ability and warned Jiang Keyun to stop targeting her.
• The group feared that someone among them might be infected and controlled, and Su Qiao suggested testing everyone.
• Professor Jiang said he could develop a potion that made the parasites struggle, and Su Qiao abandoned her own plan to scan the group.
• On the third day, Gao Cheng called everyone to the Research Lab for testing, and Su Qiao went with Han while worrying that the potion might harm Li Hanzheng.

Su Qiao wondered whether Han was becoming human again as his heartbeat returned and his memories resurfaced. At the group’s test for brain parasites in Mutated Humans, she volunteered and drank the potion, then gave Han a test tube as well.

• Su Qiao told 444 that Han’s heart had begun beating slowly after absorbing her qi-infused blood, and that his habits and memories were gradually returning.
• Su Qiao suspected Han’s powerful Ability Core had kept his body from decaying and helped bring him back to life, but she remained unsure what he was now.
• Gao Cheng explained that the potion made brain parasites struggle and caused their hosts severe pain and aggression, based on experiments he and Professor had conducted.
• Su Qiao stepped forward with Han, drank a test tube of the potion, and held another to Han’s lips.
