The Zombie Horde attacked the Safe Zone, and Yi Zhengqing coordinated laser fire, elemental arrows, and traps to inflict heavy losses. The horde forced its way through a narrow passage, while Yi Zhengqing wondered how Yazi was defending the east and south walls.

Their Storage Space and title effects were disabled, and the main quest remained locked until they joined an official organization within the High Wall.

• Lin Zhiluo prepared his supplies and brought Da Sha and Ghost Child to a military Dungeon teleportation point in Modu.
• Lin Zhiluo used the World Dungeon panel, and the system took an unusually long time to match their attributes with a suitable world.

• Bailey revealed that the villages would build the High Wall, prompting some men to celebrate while others looked confused.

Lin Zhiluo and his group traveled to the Mountain-Sea High Wall for a half-month work assignment, and Lin examined the immense structure as they approached. At the settlement, he met High Priest Gu Zhuang and discovered that Gu possessed a powerful ability linked to the world’s Spirit-based power system.

Lin Zhiluo arrived in Taize Town with Bailey’s conscripts, where High Priest Gu Zhuang noticed something unusual about him but could not see through his concealed aura. The conscripts settled into a shabby tent camp, while Lin Zhiluo used his Storage Space to eat in comfort and left Da Sha and Ghost Child on guard.

• Bailey greeted High Priest Gu Zhuang, who praised the conscripts for arriving first and quietly scrutinized Lin Zhiluo without discovering anything amiss.
