• The ordinary Zombies kept attacking as Wang Yu and the Tiger Lion Legion continued fighting.

Wang Yu’s forces struggled to hold the Defense Line against the endless Zombie Tide as their fighters and ammunition dwindled. When the Players urged a retreat, Wang Yu chose to stay, and they reluctantly agreed to keep fighting while the Tiger Lion Legion prepared to withdraw.

• The Six Wild Rat Kings and their Big Cats returned, and Wang Yu rotated exhausted Players, Big Dogs, and Rat Kings off the front line to rest.
• Wang Yu used thirty-six Big Cat Clones to hold the Defense Line while the Tiger Lion Legion fired and Wild Rat King Wang Si supported them with Fireball Techniques.

Wang Yu's assault on the Zombie hordes awakened the powerful Zombie King a year early, prompting the Survival Game to raise its difficulty and reveal the King's weakness to intense light. Ye Feifan and the Galaxy Team realized they had entered another game with Wang Yu, the player they feared most.

• Ye Feifan recognized Wang Yu from a previous Survival Game and despaired at encountering him again.
• The Galaxy Team recalled dying in a game with Wang Yu and feared that he had raised the difficulty of their current game.

Wang Yu fought the Zombie King through Shadow Clone, but the creature’s Mental Attack reached him through their connection and forced him to hide with the Invisibility Bracelet. He stayed near the battlefield to claim the Zombies’ crystals and continued wearing the Zombie King down while searching for a way past its defenses.

• Shadow Clone attacked the Zombie King, which blocked its strikes and countered with claws, blue flames, and a Sound Wave Attack without harming it.
• The Zombie King’s Mental Attack affected Wang Yu through Shadow Clone, and it tracked his location through their mental connection.
• Wang Yu activated the Invisibility Bracelet and moved away just before a blue flame exploded where he had been.
• Wang Yu stayed near Shadow Clone to fight for the nearby crystals, while Shadow Clone kept the Zombie King occupied.
• Wang Yu noticed the Zombie King guarded itself with its claws and wondered whether the rest of its body was vulnerable.
• The Zombie King searched for Wang Yu but could not find him again, and it avoided another Mental Attack because of the energy it would cost.

Wang Yu used flares and strong-light lamps to exploit the Zombie King's fear of light, but neither injured him nor kept him contained. The battle continued as a war of attrition, and Wang Yu sensed a living person hiding nearby.

• Wang Yu asked Jun Tianbao to have the Tiger Lion Legion prepare strong-light lamps and flares.
• The Tiger Lion Legion set up strong-light lamps on the rooftop, and the Zombie King moved away from the building.
• Wang Yu used a locator and drones to surround the Zombie King with flares, but the Zombie King escaped the illuminated area unharmed.
• The Shadow Clone trapped the Zombie King in a Steel Giant Cage, but he bent the bars and broke free.
• Wang Yu withdrew the drones and continued fighting while the strong-light lamps kept the Zombie King from pursuing them.
• Wang Yu sensed a living person hiding nearby and watching the battle.

Wang Yu watched a mysterious old man use golden talismans to help the Shadow Clone fight the Zombie King. The Zombie King tried to flee, while the old man was forced to retreat as the surrounding Zombies arrived.

• Wang Yu sensed a strange presence nearby and waited while the Shadow Clone continued battling the Zombie King.
• An old man in ragged clothes emerged and wounded the Zombie King with golden talismans, then attacked it repeatedly while the Shadow Clone held it back.
• The old man revealed a powerful talisman and asked the Shadow Clone to keep the Zombie King still so he could use it.
• The Zombie King used a burst of speed to escape, but the Shadow Clone caught up and blocked its path again.
• As Zombies swarmed toward him, the old man tried to leave, and Wang Yu appeared and called out to him.

Wang Yu failed to kill the fleeing Zombie King but used the scent on his Shadow Clone’s saber to track it with ten Big Dogs. Zhang Laotou revealed that his Tianshi Mansion had sealed the Zombie King, Xia Yu, more than a thousand years ago and had guarded it ever since; he admitted the mansion had hoped to learn the secret of eternal life from it, leaving Wang Yu questioning whether the Tianshi Mansion caused the current apocalypse.

• Wang Yu pursued the Zombie King with Zhang Laotou, but its stronger Mental Attack disrupted his Shadow Clone and allowed it to escape.
• Wang Yu sent ten Big Dogs to sniff the Shadow Clone’s saber, and they caught the Zombie King’s scent and pointed toward its location.
• Wang Yu asked Zhang Laotou about the Zombie King, while the Shadow Clone fought off nearby zombies.
• Zhang Laotou explained that the Zombie King was Xia Yu, a gifted cultivator who became a Corpse King after finding a meteorite possibly linked to Extraterrestrial Life.
• Zhang Laotou said the Tianshi Mansion had sealed Xia Yu at great cost and assigned a guardian in every generation, but had wanted to uncover the secret of eternal life.
• Wang Yu asked whether the Tianshi Mansion was connected to the biohazard and zombie outbreak.

Wang Yu learned that Doctor Cao stole the Tianshi Mansion’s Zombie King research and may be responsible for the zombie crisis. Zhang Laotou revealed the weakened Ancient Talisman could no longer kill the Zombie King, and Wang Yu demanded to borrow it before leaving to destroy the creature.

• Zhang Laotou told Wang Yu that Doctor Cao joined the Tianshi Mansion’s Zombie King research, then fled with its research materials and traitors more than thirty years earlier.
• Zhang Laotou explained that the Zombie King woke after Doctor Cao and his accomplices tampered with it, while the Tianshi Mansion struggled to reinforce its seal.
• Zhang Laotou said the Tianshi might know more about Doctor Cao and could be at the Tianshi Mansion, roughly a thousand kilometers away.
• Zhang Laotou revealed that the Ancient Talisman had been used three times to save the Tianshi Mansion and now retained only a quarter of its power.
• Wang Yu demanded the Golden Talisman, arguing he could use it to strike the Zombie King, while Zhang Laotou refused and the Big Dogs surrounded him.

Wang Yu received Zhang Laotou’s Golden Talisman and learned the Tianshi Mansion’s secret method, which let him control the talisman and gain the Golden Light Curse. After sharing the method with other players, he persuaded Zhang Laotou to stay with him for now while he prepared to face the Zombie Tide.

• Zhang Laotou gave Wang Yu the Golden Talisman and taught him the Tianshi Mansion’s secret method.
• Wang Yu quickly mastered the method, killed zombies with golden runes, and gained the Golden Light Curse.
• Wang Yu found the Golden Light Curse less efficient than Shadow Clone for killing zombies, but recognized that it could help him fight during the day and control the Golden Talisman against the Zombie King.
• Wang Yu shared the secret method in the Chat Channel, and players welcomed the new way to fight zombies.
• Wang Yu asked Zhang Laotou about the meteorite and invited him to join his force; Zhang Laotou chose to stay until Wang Yu could accompany him to the Tianshi Mansion.
• Wang Yu turned toward the vast Zombie Tide, ready to fight.

Wang Yu weighed using the Dice to multiply Golden Talismans or High-Level Crystals while the Wild Rat Kings and Shadow Clones fought the nearby zombies. He chose to prepare for the Zombie King first, then selected a Bone Zombie crystal for Wang San to devour in hopes of gaining a speed ability.

• Wang Yu settled Zhang Laotou in a room and stationed Big Dogs to guard him and the nearby building.
• Wang Yu used the Dice on a Golden Talisman, rolled a four, and increased his supply to five.
• Wang Yu kept the Golden Talismans close and considered how to use the four High-Level Crystals to help clear the zombies.
• Wang Yu ruled out the Four-Legged Zombie and Big Octopus Zombie crystals because their mutations were unpredictable.
• Wang Yu chose the Bone Zombie crystal for Wild Rat King Wang San, hoping it would grant a speed-type ability.

Wang Yu tested the Bone Zombie’s crystal on Wild Rat King Wang San, who transformed into a Bone Wild Rat King and gained powerful bone abilities. After sending Wang San to fight the Zombies, Wang Yu considered testing whether a mutated creature could gain another ability from a second crystal.

• Wang Yu locked Wild Rat King Wang San in the Steel Giant Cage and gave him the Bone Zombie’s crystal to consume.
• Wild Rat King Wang San underwent Bonefication, gaining strength and agility as well as Bonefication and Bone Control Technique.
• Wang Yu learned from Wang San that Bone Control Technique could propel its user at high speed, then sent him to slaughter the Zombies outside.
• Wang Yu considered using the Three-Headed Evil Dog’s crystal on Wild Rat King Wang Si or one of the Big Dogs to test whether a mutated creature could mutate again.
• Wang Yu decided to wait six hours and think carefully before choosing a subject for the risky experiment.

Wang Yu rotated his exhausted fighters against the enormous Zombie Tide while the Tiger Lion Legion and other allies took turns fighting and resting. As the battle continued, he sent the Shadow Clone to lure Zombies away and buy more time for his forces to recover.

• Wang Yu recalled his Shadow Clone to recover his Mental Power while the Wild Rat Kings continued fighting the Zombie Tide.
• After resting, Wang Yu sent the Shadow Clone and Wang San back into battle, then ordered Jun Tianbao, Chi Luo, the Players, and the Tiger Lion Legion's Ability Users to join them.
• Jun Tianbao's group retreated under Wang Si's fire cover, and Shang General led the resupplied Tiger Lion Legion out to attack the Zombies.
• Wang Yu sent the four Big Cats and their clones to shield the Tiger Lion Legion, while Wang San and then the legion withdrew to rest as their strength and ammunition ran low.
• With only Wang Si, the four Big Cats, and the Shadow Clone still fighting, Wang Yu had the Shadow Clone lure the Zombie Tide away to give his forces time to recover.

Wang Yu used Dice to obtain six Three-Headed Evil Dog crystals and gave them to Wild Rat King Wang Si to test whether a creature could mutate a second time. Wang Si’s mutation succeeded, raising him to B-Rank and giving him three heads, while Wang Yu discovered that his attributes, energy reserves, and skills had all improved.

• Wang Yu rolled Dice twice and obtained five additional Three-Headed Evil Dog crystals, bringing his total to six.
• Wang Yu chose to give the six crystals to Wild Rat King Wang Si rather than a Big Dog, then locked Wang Si in the Steel Giant Cage and had him swallow them.
• Wild Rat King Wang Si endured a painful mutation as flames surrounded him and his head split into three.
• Wang Yu checked Wang Si’s updated information and found that he had reached B-Rank, gained substantial Strength, Agility, and Mental Power, and now had three Energy Values.
• Wang Yu inspected Wang Si’s skills and learned that they had improved, including Stealth Technique, Enslave, and King’s Fury.

Wang Yu rotated his forces through the Zombie Tide until the remaining Zombies were scattered, then summoned Lin Moxi and the Have Rice Society to help clear the enormous piles of corpses. He left Lin Moxi to organize the work and feed the arriving members, survivors, and Tiger Lion Legion soldiers.

• Wild Rat King Wang Si reached B-rank, gained stronger skills and improved Fire-type Abilities, and joined the fight against the Zombie Tide.
• Wang Yu recalled the exhausted Shadow Clone and four Big Cats, then sent Bone Wild Rat King Wang San and six Gold-type Wild Rat Kings into battle alongside Wang Si.
• After daybreak, the eight Wild Rat Kings withdrew while the Players and Tiger Lion Legion cleared the scattered Zombies.
• Four Big Cats guided Lin Moxi, Lin Dong, Zhong Xiaopei, and more than three thousand Have Rice Society members in a convoy to Wang Yu's building.
• Wang Yu told Lin Moxi to organize the removal of Zombie corpses and recovery of their crystals, and to feed the workers, survivors, and Tiger Lion Legion soldiers first.

Wang Yu and Lin Moxi organized more than five thousand people to clear nearby zombie corpses and collect crystals, then Wang Yu multiplied the haul with his Dice. He prepared to feed the crystals to Wild Rat King Wang Si and test how much Wang Si could absorb without exceeding Wang Yu’s control.

• Lin Moxi recruited more than one thousand survivors into the Have Rice Society, and Wang Yu introduced the gathered leaders, including Shang General and Zhong Xiaopei.
• After everyone ate, Lin Moxi organized more than five thousand people to search zombie corpses for crystals under strict mutual oversight and inspections.
• Wang Yu used Wild Rat King Wang Si’s Flame Bursting Fire and the others’ help to clear the corpses, a job that took two days and yielded 3,756 crystals.
• Wang Yu rolled a three with his Dice, multiplying the crystals into four buckets, then added one extra crystal for a total of 15,025.
• Wang Yu chose Wild Rat King Wang Si to absorb crystals first so he could test how many Wang Si could consume without exceeding ten times Wang Yu’s Mental Power.

Wang Yu fed crystals to Wild Rat King Wang Si, raising him to A-level and unlocking new skills. After Wang Si swallowed another crystal with no effect, Wang Yu realized the crystals could no longer increase his power.

• Wang Yu fed Wang Si 210 crystals, raising his Mental Power to 180 and his level to B+.
• Wang Yu discovered Wang Si had gained Rat Fungus and Sky Full of Flying Fire, and that his existing skills had improved.
• Wang Yu fed Wang Si another 267 crystals, raising his Mental Power to 260 and his level to A-level.
• Wang Yu tested one more crystal and learned that it no longer had any effect on Wang Si.

Wang Yu learned that zombie crystals could only raise extraordinary life to A-level, then examined Wild Rat King Wang Si’s immense new strength and skills. He began upgrading the six Gold-type Wild Rat Kings and raised Wild Rat King Wang Wu from B-level to B+.

• Wang Yu accepted that crystals could not push extraordinary life beyond A-level and decided to raise his extraordinary items to that limit.
• Wang Yu inspected Wild Rat King Wang Si, who had reached A-level with 260 Mental Power and eight skills.
• Wang Yu recalled Wild Rat King Wang Si and summoned Wild Rat King Wang Wu to begin upgrading the Gold-type Wild Rat Kings.
• Wang Yu fed Wild Rat King Wang Wu 266 crystals, raising him from B-level to B+ and increasing his Strength to 180.
