• Wang Yu steered the Large Bamboo Boat toward the nearest island using his map, while he, Su Qingxue, and Jia Feng endured the long and dangerous voyage.
• Wang Yu recalled how Su Qingxue, Jia Feng, Ouyang Xiaotian, Chu Feng, and the Galaxy Team had helped him seize the Strange Fruits.

• Chu Feng emerged from the Mysterious Realm Space, confirmed that the other players had died, and realized Wang Yu was still alive.
• Chu Feng messaged Wang Yu, who said he had left the deserted island and wanted only a quiet place to settle; Chu Feng decided he would eventually take Wang Yu’s island.

• Wang Yu said he would probably look for a girlfriend once he could step on stars and shatter mountains and rivers with his fist, leaving Shangguan Hong baffled.

• Wang Yu read the mission details and learned infected people had become zombies, players could be infected, and death could lock them into the game or prevent them from earning its reward.
• Wang Yu found that every rooftop door was locked and heard numerous zombie growls inside the building.
• Wang Yu opened the public chat channel and saw ten thousand nearby players arguing about zombies, dwindling food, and how to survive.

• Wang Yu reviewed his Personal Panel, weighed his supplies, and decided that infection by the TB100 Virus was the greatest threat to him and his Wild Rat Kings.
• Wang Yu waited on the rooftop while players began fighting zombies, and the Chat Channel reported that ordinary zombies were stronger than ordinary people and that one player had been surrounded and killed.
• Wang Yu remained on the rooftop from morning until night, then sent his Shadow Clone into the building to search for food.
• Wang Yu's Shadow Clone searched the bloodied, disordered floors and spotted a zombie who appeared to have been an office worker.

Wang Yu’s Shadow Clone found a living woman and took her snacks, promising to repay her, while Wang Yu multiplied the biscuits with Dice to Increase. He continued searching the building for supplies, wary of the woman’s powerful-sounding connections and the TB100 Virus.

• Wang Yu’s Shadow Clone searched the building and found a woman alive in an office on the top floor.

• The Shadow Clone cut through the gathered Zombies with its broadsword, then spun rapidly and named the sweeping attack the Whirlwind Saber Technique.
• After leaving the still-crawling Zombies alone, the Shadow Clone searched through the corpses.

Wang Yu searched the Zombies he had killed and found four crystals, then burned their corpses and disinfected a top-floor office. After preparing to avoid the TB100 Virus, he settled in for the night with Wild Rat King Big King standing guard, while the building’s survivors remained awake and bewildered.

• Wang Yu fell asleep to recover his depleted Mental Power, while the building’s survivors stayed awake, confused by the blaze and the events around them.

Wang Yu tested the zombie-head crystals on Wild Rat King Wang Si to see whether they could trigger a dangerous evolution. After Wang Si ate fourteen crystals and briefly burst into flames, he returned to normal, leaving the result of the experiment unclear.

• Wang Yu fed Wang Si fourteen crystals, after which Wang Si was briefly surrounded by flames and then returned to normal.
• Wang Yu opened Wang Si's information to check whether the crystals had changed him.

Wang Yu discovered that crystals had awakened three powerful Fire-type Abilities in Wild Rat King Wang Si and concluded that its high Mental Power had enabled the mutation. After Wang Si consumed the remaining crystals, Wang Yu looked out over the zombie-filled city and hoped both to survive the game and see the apocalypse end.

• Wang Yu examined Wang Si's new status and found its Mental Power had risen to 68.4, with three Fire-type Abilities and a new Energy Value.
• Wang Yu inspected the Fireball Technique, Fire Shield Technique, and Flame Bursting Fire, recognizing their offensive and defensive power.
• Wang Yu reasoned that the crystals had triggered a mutation and Wang Si's high Mental Power had enabled it to gain the three abilities.
• Wang Yu gave Wang Si the two remaining crystals, which raised its Mental Power to 69 and its Energy Value to 690/690.
• Wang Yu considered the city a vast source of crystals, rejected that thought as inhumane, and hoped the people would recover and he would survive the game.

Wang Yu met Lin Moxi, a young woman trapped in a skyscraper, and learned that she had access to a stocked apocalypse shelter about sixty kilometers away. He agreed to consider helping her reach it, while continuing to investigate the strange zombie crystals and the world around him.

• Wang Yu brought Lin Moxi food and entered her office, where he disinfected the room and asked her to keep her distance.
• Lin Moxi asked why Wang Yu had appeared, and he told her he had been in seclusion before the apocalypse.
• Lin Moxi explained that her younger sister had persuaded her to build a well-stocked shelter before the disaster, but the sister had gone to stay with a friend and was now missing.
• Wang Yu learned that the shelter was more than sixty kilometers away and asked for a city map, but Lin Moxi's Communication Wristband had run out of power.
