Chapter Summaries

Wang Yu used Use Dice to Increase on Chi Luo’s 573 crystals and gave the resulting 2,292 crystals to the Girl Zombie to help her evolve into a Zombie King. Worried that Ye Feifan might reveal his secrets, Wang Yu sent a swarm of Big Rats to attack Lü Hongting’s planes, leaving Lü Hongting demanding answers from the Underground Fortress.

• Wang Yu collected 573 crystals from Chi Luo and the others, adding them to his debts to the Have Rice Society members and Jun Tianbao’s team.
• Wang Yu rolled a three with Use Dice to Increase, turning the crystals into 2,292, and gave them to the Girl Zombie to aid her evolution.
• The Girl Zombie began consuming the crystals and said she would know within two hours whether she could become a Zombie King.
• Wang Yu worried that Ye Feifan might reveal his identity and his actions involving the Happy Water Bear factory and Lü Hongting, so he prepared a cover-up.
• Wang Yu sent tens of thousands of Big Rats from the factory to attack the planes at the airfield, forcing Lü Hongting’s group to take off.
• Lü Hongting called the Underground Fortress and demanded an explanation for the Big Rats hidden in the factory.

Wang Yu concealed the danger at the Happy Water Bear factory while buying time amid the fighting in Dawn City. The Girl Zombie became a Corpse King, learned the Black Stone’s origins, and accepted Wang Yu’s encouragement to keep moving forward with him.

• Wang Yu sent Lü Hongting a video of the rats attacking the factory and proposed working together, but Lü Hongting refused and ordered the aircraft to stand by.
• Two hours later, Wang Yu found the Girl Zombie transformed into an A+ Corpse King with powerful attributes and seven skills.
• The Girl Zombie explained that ten thousand crystals had helped her complete her breakthrough and that the Black Stone carried instructions from the Corpse Clan.
• She told Wang Yu that Corpse Kings were meant to create and devour Zombies, and worried that she had been set on a path of endless killing.
• Wang Yu urged her to stay alive, follow her heart, and join him in the Survival Game, easing her doubts.
• Wang Yu recognized that the Girl Zombie might eventually escape her restraints if her attributes grew far beyond his, so he resolved to raise his own attributes quickly.

Wang Yu sent the Girl Zombie to find an Advanced Zombie with strong Mental Power while warning her to stay hidden and avoid threats that might counter a Zombie King. Meanwhile, Henry Laine ordered Lü Hongting to halt the Biohumans operation and evacuate Dawn City, leaving Wang Yu to realize that the danger he feared had come to pass.

• Wang Yu ordered the Girl Zombie to locate the Advanced Zombie and take its crystal, and she flew off while keeping herself concealed.
• Wang Yu reasoned that he could now kill the masterminds and clear the Zombies to finish the Survival Game.
• Henry Laine contacted Lü Hongting and ordered him to stop the operation, count personnel and casualties, place commanders on alert, and evacuate to a designated site.
• Lü Hongting accepted the orders and began recalling personnel for a head count.
• After learning what happened aboard the Air Command Machine, Wang Yu realized the situation he had hoped to avoid had occurred.

Wang Yu left Dawn City after arranging for Lin Moxi to manage its survivors and discovering that the Mental Power zombie had been found. He cleared the Zombies from nearby cities to gather Crystals, leaving Chongzhou City’s streets empty of corpses by dawn and deciding he would need High-Level Crystals for further evolution.

• Wang Yu instructed Lin Moxi to manage Dawn City’s survivors, organize the Have Rice Society with Chi Luo, and await further orders before he left the city.
• After the Girl Zombie told Wang Yu that the Mental Power zombie had been found, he used ten Wild Rat Kings to clear Dawn City of its remaining Zombies and sent Chi Luo’s people to collect the Crystals.
• As Wang Yu traveled east, Lin Moxi and the others continued organizing survivors and supplies in Dawn City, while Commander Lan reported information about Wang Yu to military headquarters.
• Wang Yu reached Chongzhou City, lured its Zombies to a tall building, and fought them with the ten Wild Rat Kings until they were dead.
• Wild Rat King Wang Si burned the Zombie corpses to ash, and Wang Yu and ten Big Dogs collected 1,851 Crystals from the area.
• Wang Yu concluded that Ordinary Crystals could no longer help his other Extraordinary Items evolve and that he would need High-Level Crystals to advance further.

• Wang Yu considered using more crystals to raise his Mental Power to 260 and reach Transcendent Level A.

Wang Yu used Dice to multiply his crystal stash and consumed crystals to raise his Mental Power through B-level, B+, and A, gaining new abilities along the way. He discovered that crystals no longer increased his Mental Power, leaving him at A-level with a potential path to A+ still unclear.

• Wang Yu rolled Dice for four extra barrels of crystals, bringing his total to 9,255.
• Wang Yu ate crystals until his Mental Power reached 100.1 and his Transcendent Level became B.

Wang Yu raised Wild Rat King Second King to A-level, gave crystals to Chi Luo and the other Players, and headed east toward the location where Ye Feifan was being held. After three days of clearing Zombies and spreading the name Have Rice Society, Wang Yu reached a city near a hidden force’s mountainous base and considered how to approach it.

• Wang Yu used a High-Level Crystal and 540 more crystals to raise Wild Rat King Second King to A-level, then gave 1,700 crystals to Chi Luo and the other 33 Players.
• Wang Yu set out east after receiving a location signal that matched the place where Lü Hongting’s memories showed Ye Feifan was being held, and he recognized it as a trap.
• Wang Yu cleared Zombies in towns along the way and used his Loudspeaker to spread the name Have Rice Society among survivors.
• Chi Luo and the other Players led more than five thousand Ability Users out of Dawn City to clear nearby Zombies while the hidden forces let them harvest crops.
• After traveling for three days, Wang Yu reached a city more than thirty kilometers from the signal, near a hidden force’s base in a mountainous military zone, and decided against charging in recklessly.

Wang Yu sent his Shadow Clone into the Tianzhou organization’s Underground Military Base to map it and locate its core and Ye Feifan before making his move. As the base prepared for a major battle, its leaders watched the control-room screen and expected Wang Yu to arrive that night.

• Wang Yu studied satellite images and Lü Hongting’s memories, learning that the mountains hid a vast, fortified Underground Military Base where Biohumans were researched and produced.

• In the Control Room, high-ranking officials watched the Big Screen and said the most powerful Player would come to their base that night.

Henry Laine told the Underground Base’s leaders that Players could not be replaced and would return after dying, so the organization planned to capture them alive and turn them into Biohumans. Meanwhile, Wang Yu scouted the base and discovered armed robots, then spotted a prominent leader he could try to control.

• Henry Laine explained that Players who died would leave the world and return later, and said the organization had captured Players alive to learn about them.
• Henry Laine revealed the plan to capture the strongest Player, control the other Players, turn them into Biohumans, and study their wristbands.
• Wang Yu searched the Underground World for someone he could control, but cameras and battle preparations made it difficult.
• Wang Yu’s Shadow Clone found rows of armed humanoid robots and recognized them as a powerful military force.
• Wang Yu spotted a high-ranking figure surrounded by people who treated him like a leader.

Wang Yu used an invisible Big Cat to trip Feng Jianglong and take control of him before he could leave the robot facility. The Big Cat learned that Feng Jianglong commanded Tianzhou’s massive Robot Army, but the organization’s Executive Committee could revoke his authority.

• Wang Yu decided to seize Feng Jianglong before he left the robot facility, so the Shadow Clone summoned a Big Cat and gave it an Invisibility Bracelet.
• The invisible Big Cat tripped Feng Jianglong and used Mental Control on him, making his fall look like an accident to the onlookers.
• After Feng Jianglong left the facility, the Big Cat took control of him, read his memories, and sent the information to Wang Yu.
• Wang Yu learned that Tianzhou was governed by an Artificial Intelligence that assigned and monitored members’ authority.
• Wang Yu learned that Feng Jianglong commanded tens of thousands of armed robots, but Tianzhou’s Executive Committee could revoke his command authority.

In the Control Room, Henry Laine coordinated the forces preparing to capture Wang Yu, while David dismissed the threat and agreed to drink with Feng Jianglong afterward.

• A burly commander reported that three thousand Advanced Biohumans and other forces were ready, and Henry Laine ordered him to commit the Biohuman Troops to the fight.

• Feng Jianglong recognized the arrogant commander as David and invited him to drink after they defeated Wang Yu, and David accepted.

David told Feng Jianglong that the organization had produced three thousand Advanced Biohumans, which were as strong as Advanced Ability Users but still had short lifespans. After learning about them, Wang Yu decided to obtain their production technology along with the technology for the Combat Robots and weapons, while Henry, Laine, and the others continued waiting in the Control Room for the Player.

• David told Feng Jianglong that three thousand Advanced Biohumans had been produced and claimed their strength matched Advanced Ability Users.
• Feng Jianglong recognized that the Biohumans' short lifespans remained a serious flaw despite David's claims that it no longer mattered.

• Wang Yu added the Combat Robot and weapon technologies to his plans for the technologies he would take from this world.
• Henry, Laine, and the others waited in the Control Room for the Player to arrive.

Wang Yu reached the Underground Base and had Wang Wu smash its entrance in full view of the people waiting to ambush him. The base’s Artificial Intelligence then issued an urgent order for senior personnel to escape, leaving them facing an unexplained catastrophe.

• The Control Room spotted Wang Yu riding a Big Rat toward the base and watched him find an entrance.
• Wang Yu summoned Wang Wu, who grew giant and began hacking at the base gate with a Giant Sword.
• The base’s Artificial Intelligence sounded an alarm and ordered all senior personnel to evacuate through the emergency escape route.

The Helmsman ordered Tianzhou’s senior officials to evacuate, warning that Wang Yu would destroy the base, but the officials doubted its prediction and sought guidance from the Executive Committee. The committee ordered them to stay, leaving the base’s leaders divided over which directive to follow.

• The Helmsman warned Henry Laine that Wang Yu had broken into the base and that senior officials had less than ten minutes to evacuate.
• Henry Laine and the other officials questioned the warning, citing the base’s troops, robots, and reinforcements as reasons they could defeat Wang Yu.
• David mocked Henry Laine for relying on the Helmsman, and Henry requested instructions from the Chief Executive Officer.
• The Executive Committee rejected the Helmsman’s analysis and ordered everyone to remain in the base.
• The officials disputed whether the Executive Committee could decide the evacuation, and some called for a meeting to discuss the conflicting orders.

Wang Yu charged into the Underground Military Base after preparing to destroy it, while the base’s Artificial Intelligence predicted its downfall and the higher-ups debated whether to flee. He reached a vehicle-filled valley parking lot, where David’s forces attacked him with rockets, incendiary bombs, and explosives.

• Wang Yu had Wild Rat King Wang Wu smash through the base’s gate and rode into the passageway toward its heart.
• The Artificial Intelligence inferred that the base was doomed, and Henry Laine ordered David to send his Biohuman Troops to stop Wang Yu before deciding whether the higher-ups should escape.
• David left to command the troops as the anxious higher-ups watched Wang Yu cross the base without resistance.
• Wang Yu emerged into a valley parking lot, where a gate closed behind him and rockets flew at him from every direction.
• Wang Yu dodged the rockets, then spotted gasoline covering the ground and recognized that incendiary bombs were coming.
• The incendiary bombs set the parking lot ablaze, and vehicles loaded with explosives began exploding in the flames.

Wang Yu survived the missile barrage with Wild Rat King Wang Si’s Flame Shield and destroyed the nearby launch sites. Rather than fight the forces surrounding the Underground Base on their terms, he began summoning a vast army of Wild Rats for a decisive attack.

• Wang Yu ordered Wild Rat King Wang Si to destroy the missile launch sites, and its Flame Bursting Fire skill blew them up.
• Henry Laine and the others watched Wang Yu survive and counterattack, then waited to see how the battle would develop.
• Wang Yu rode into a mountain tunnel toward the Underground Base, stopped before the Advanced Biohumans, and chose to hide his Shadow Clone while preparing his own forces.
• Wild Rat King Wang Si used Enslave to summon Wild Rats in waves, assembling ranks of ordinary and Elite Wild Rats as the base watched the live broadcast.

Wang Yu used his Rat Kings and a growing Wild Rat Tide to attack the base’s Advanced Biohumans. The infected Biohumans began dying from Elite Wild Rat bites, and Wang Yu confirmed the deadly effects of Wild Rat King Wang Si’s [Rat Fungus] skill.

• Henry Laine ordered the base sealed and readied flamethrowers, while David sent Biohumans to stop Wang Yu’s rats.
• Wang Yu summoned Wild Rat King Wang San, who broke through a steel door and fought a large force of Advanced Biohumans.
• After the Biohumans overwhelmed Wang San, he used [Myriad Bone Blades] to kill those around him and push forward.
• Wild Rats summoned by Wang Si flooded the tunnel and joined the fight, forcing the Biohumans to face the swarm’s growing numbers.
• Elite Wild Rats bit Biohumans, who soon foamed at the mouth and died, and Wang Yu received confirmation of the [Rat Fungus] virus’s deadly effects.

Wang Yu used Big King’s strengthened [Divine Cry] to overwhelm the Biohumans in the tunnel, while Henry Laine ordered robots and flamethrowers to counter the Wild Rats. As the Wild Rat Tide advanced through the base, rats appeared throughout its underground passages, and David rushed into the Control Room urging everyone to escape.

• Big King and the Wild Rat Tide unleashed repeated mental attacks that incapacitated the Biohumans in the tunnel, then the rats devoured them.
• Henry Laine ordered Feng Jianglong to send robots and flamethrowers against the rats and told David to withdraw the Biohumans.
