• Su Yali accused Wang Cheng of trusting Su Qiao over her, but he stopped her from leaving and advised her to avoid her cousin.
• Su Yali suggested her parents’ past treatment of Su Qiao had caused the rift, and Wang Cheng remained more inclined to believe her.
• Su Qiao told 444 to prepare to go over that night, and 444 said it was experienced in stripping Spatial Abilities.

Su Qiao told Gao Jingyu that Su Yali had injected them both with the Zombie Virus and explained why she planned to let Su Yali keep the jade pendant’s space for now. That night, two figures appeared silently in Su Yali’s room.

• Su Qiao told Gao Jingyu that needle marks, virus-like symptoms, and Su Yali’s possession of her jade pendant led her to believe Su Yali had infected them both.
• Gao Jingyu tried to go after Su Yali, but Su Qiao stopped him and said she still needed Su Yali for her plan.

• That night, two figures appeared silently in Su Yali’s room.

Su Qiao chose not to go to the Northern Base and agreed to let Wu Bin’s group travel with her as she planned to establish their own base. The group left their destination undecided, while Wang Cheng failed to persuade Su Qiao to reconsider.

• Su Qiao severed Su Yali’s connection to the jade pendant, marked it as her own, and told 444 to watch for any attempt to destroy it.
• As the convoy split between those heading to the Northern Base and Wu Bin’s group, Wu Bin asked to travel with Su Qiao, and she agreed on the condition that his people manage their own safety and supplies.
• Su Qiao told Gao Jingyu she wanted to find a suitable place to build a base, explaining that they would need allies and that restoring his body might remove his zombie-controlling ability.
• Wang Cheng asked Su Qiao to reconsider going to the Northern Base, but she refused because she did not want to be constrained there.

Su Qiao refused to help Wang Cheng research a Zombie Virus vaccine, then traveled with the convoy to a roadside factory for the night. There, Su Yali discovered she could no longer access anything in her jade pendant space.

• Wang Cheng asked Su Qiao about the virus Yali had injected and how she had detoxified herself, but Su Qiao gave him no useful details about her research or past.
• Wang Cheng explained that his mission had been to bring Professor Yuan back and research a Zombie Virus vaccine, and Su Qiao said she could not help.
• The convoy traveled safely through the suburbs and reached a small factory before dark, where the group cleared out zombies and settled in for the night.
• Su Qiao and Gao Jingyu parked their off-road vehicle inside the factory and prepared instant noodles with their own cooking supplies.
• Wang Cheng waited for Su Yali to bring him dinner, but she panicked when her Spatial Ability stopped working and she could not retrieve anything from the jade pendant.

Su Yali’s spatial ability stopped working, leaving Wang Cheng’s group unable to retrieve their supplies and with only two days of food. Su Qiao and Gao Jingyu considered using spatial-ability zombies to transfer the stored goods, but Su Yali guarded her jade pendant through the night, so they got no chance.

As the group continued toward Northern Base, Su Qiao noticed Liu Shasha had been scratched by a zombie and gave her medicine that could trigger an ability awakening. Gao Jingyu then asked why Su Qiao had recruited her, leaving Su Qiao to explain her intentions.

• Su Qiao and Gao Jingyu traveled with Wang Cheng’s group toward a village as the group grew colder toward Su Yali.
• Wang Cheng required everyone except the elderly and children to fight zombies, while Su Qiao and Gao Jingyu handled the danger with ease.

• Liu Shasha resolved to work hard, and Gao Jingyu asked Su Qiao why she had recruited her.

The group reached a small village after surviving several dangerous encounters with zombies on the road. While Wang Cheng sent Tiger to search the village, Li Meiying secretly brought Li Xiaoni inside and forced her to face a zombie.

• Su Qiao warned Gao Jingyu not to send his zombies after the group, and he agreed to listen to her.
• Su Qiao threatened to cut open Gao Jingyu's stomach, making him stop pretending to be in pain.
• The group arrived at a small village and rested outside rather than entering immediately.
• Wang Cheng ordered Tiger and several others to search the village and look for food.
• Li Meiying took Li Xiaoni into the village and made her hold a knife as an old zombie approached.

Li Meiying forced her ten-year-old daughter, Li Xiaoni, to practice killing zombies so she could survive on her own. After Tiger confronted them in the village, Li Meiying explained why she believed her daughter needed to learn.

• Li Meiying pushed Li Xiaoni toward a zombie and ordered her to chop off its legs and head.
• Li Xiaoni struck the zombie’s leg, fell, and vomited, but Li Meiying made her stand and finish it.
• Li Xiaoni beheaded the zombie through her tears after asking to wait until the next day, but Li Meiying insisted she kill three that day.
• Tiger found Li Meiying and Li Xiaoni while clearing the village and gathering food, and questioned why Li Meiying had brought a child into danger.
• Li Meiying told Tiger she was teaching Li Xiaoni to fight because she feared her daughter would not survive if something happened to her.

• Su Yali arrived the next morning and asked Su Qiao to speak with her privately, so Su Qiao sent Gao Jingyu inside to boil water.

• Wang Cheng arrived and helped Su Yali up.

Su Yali demanded that Wang Cheng help her recover the jade pendant, but Su Qiao said it had belonged to her and accused Su Yali of trying to kill her for it. Su Yali left after Wang Cheng admitted he could no longer fully trust her, and Su Qiao returned to find Liu Shasha waiting nearby.

• Su Yali urged Wang Cheng to help her take the jade pendant from Su Qiao.
• Su Qiao said the pendant was her parents’ keepsake and accused Su Yali of injecting her with the virus to get it.
• Wang Cheng questioned Su Yali and said her recent actions had made it impossible for him to trust her completely.
• Su Yali accused Wang Cheng of misjudging her and ran away.
• Su Qiao pocketed the pendant and returned to the small house, where Gao Jingyu waited at the door and Liu Shasha greeted her with a delighted expression.

Liu Shasha awakened a water ability after drinking Su Qiao’s Ability Activation Agent, and Su Qiao gave her a cultivation method and let her follow along. Gao Jingyu complained that Su Qiao was being too kind to Liu Shasha, but Su Qiao said she needed Liu Shasha to level up and provide water for his baths and laundry.

• Gao Jingyu complained that Su Qiao was being too good to Liu Shasha, and Su Qiao explained that Liu Shasha could supply water for his baths and laundry.

Su Qiao confronted Gao Jingyu about his secretive antics while the two prepared food, and said they needed to find a driver. Meanwhile, Su Yali and the others became trapped in a village with dwindling supplies, and she finally revealed that her supposed Spatial Ability came from a jade pendant now held by Su Qiao.

• Su Qiao accused Gao Jingyu of causing the zombies that blocked their road, and he said he had wanted her to get proper rest.
• Su Qiao said they needed to find a driver because Gao Jingyu distracted her whenever either of them drove.
• Su Yali stayed in the village after falling out with Su Qiao, and Wang Cheng's scouts found zombie hordes blocking both routes out.
• With food running low, Wang Cheng told the group the truth, and the hungry survivors surrounded Su Yali's family's house demanding supplies.
• Wang Cheng urged Su Yali to share some food, but she admitted she had no Spatial Ability and said her jade pendant was with Su Qiao.

Su Yali revealed that the jade pendant Wang Cheng’s group wanted belonged to Su Qiao, and Su Qiao brought it over so they could verify it. After Su Yali confirmed it was the pendant, Su Qiao settled down and said she did not understand them.

• Su Yali admitted that the pendant belonged to Su Qiao and was a keepsake from her parents, prompting Wang Cheng to accuse her of lying.

• Su Yali examined the pendant and confirmed it was the one she had accused Su Qiao of stealing, and Su Qiao said she did not understand them.

Su Yali failed to convince the group that the jade pendant contained her Spatial Ability, and the others accused her of making excuses. After Liu Shasha brought up Su Yali’s mother and Kang Minghui, Su Yali attacked her with Wind Blades.

• Su Qiao and the others argued that the jade pendant looked ordinary and could not contain a space.
• Su Yali asked to examine the pendant again, but Wu Bin and Liu Shasha insisted there was no way Su Qiao could have switched it.
• Li Meiying suggested Su Yali’s Spatial Ability might have temporarily malfunctioned, while Liu Shasha accused her of blaming others.
• Su Yali insisted that the pendant held everyone’s supplies, but the group remained hostile and unconvinced.
• Liu Shasha accused Su Yali of letting Kang Minghui sleep with her mother, and Su Yali attacked her with a large swath of Wind Blades.

Su Yali's Wind Blades caused Wang Cheng's group to strike back, killing her parents and breaking the jade pendant believed to hold a space. Wang Cheng prepared to gather supplies while Su Yali claimed the space might be upgrading, leaving Su Qiao without proof of what it contained.

• Liu Shasha dodged Su Yali's Wind Blades, which unexpectedly turned toward Wang Cheng and his group and knocked his jade pendant to the ground.
• Wang Cheng's subordinates mistook Su Yali's actions for an attack and retaliated, killing Su Yongjun and gravely wounding Su Mother.
• Su Qiao picked up the broken jade pendant and accused Su Yali of destroying it and showing no grief over her parents' deaths.
• Tiger asked Wang Cheng what to do, and Wang Cheng ordered his men to prepare to gather supplies.
• Wang Cheng told Su Yali to investigate whether her Spatial Ability had temporarily shut down or was upgrading, and Su Yali agreed.
• Su Qiao tossed the broken pendant outside and dismissed Wang Cheng and Liu Shasha's apologies.

Su Qiao directed Wang Cheng's group to a nearby prison for supplies instead of fighting the zombies head-on. Li Meiying revealed that she had been infected and was nearing mutation, leaving Su Qiao to face the desperate pleas of Li Meiying and her daughter.

• Su Qiao told Wang Cheng that a prison beyond the mountain should have plenty of supplies, and he decided the group would go there the next day.
• Su Qiao planned to get rid of Su Yali later because she no longer had any use for her.
• Li Meiying knelt before Su Qiao and showed her a small scratch whose poison had spread through her body.
• Li Meiying said she had pulled out her teeth to keep from biting Li Xiaoni if she mutated in her sleep.
• Li Xiaoni clung to her mother and begged her not to die, promising she would be brave and kill zombies.

Su Qiao agreed to let Li Xiaoni stay with Liu Shasha and gave Li Meiying medicine to test for Gao Jingyu. Gao Jingyu sulked over Su Qiao helping them, but she explained she had given the medicine to Li Meiying so she would not have to test it on him.

• Li Meiying pleaded with Su Qiao to take in Li Xiaoni, and Su Qiao agreed to let the girl follow Liu Shasha.
• Su Qiao gave Li Meiying a bottle of medicine and told Liu Shasha to explain what to do if Li Meiying mutated.
• Liu Shasha led Li Meiying and Li Xiaoni away while Gao Jingyu snorted and went into the house.
• Gao Jingyu complained that his stomach hurt because he was angry that Su Qiao cared whether the others lived or died.
• Su Qiao told Gao Jingyu she had given Li Meiying the medicine to test its effects instead of testing it on him.

Su Qiao discovered that Su Yali had scattered blood to lure zombie animals toward the village, forcing everyone to flee. As the group escaped, Wang Cheng followed Su Qiao’s directions to head southwest, but the crowded bus struggled along the rough road.

• Su Qiao told Gao Jingyu that Li Meiying had survived several days without turning into a zombie, then learned that Su Yali had escaped.
• Su Yali’s blood attracted a large swarm of zombie animals, and Su Qiao woke Gao Jingyu and warned Wu Bin’s group to run southwest.
• Wang Cheng’s patrol spotted the approaching animals, while Tiger reported that Su Yali had disappeared and likely caused the attack.
• Wang Cheng ordered everyone to abandon the food and retreat, then directed the vehicles southwest after Su Qiao said the route was clear.
• The cars moved quickly, but the crowded bus traveled slowly over the bumpy rural road.

Su Qiao turned back to rescue Wu Bin and the others from a swarm of zombie animals, then the survivors reached a roadside inn after a dangerous escape. Wang Cheng learned that two of his men were injured and more than a dozen civilians had died, and he took responsibility for the losses.

• Su Qiao turned her vehicle around when she realized Wu Bin, Liu Shasha, and the others were on the bus falling behind.
