• Ye Xuan contacted the logistics staff after judging that he could not defeat the mutated monsters alone, but their reply left him unsure what to do.

• Zhou Yihu searched the factory for Infected, heard a disturbance near another workshop, and cautiously went to investigate.
• Zheng Gang held back the huge monster while Song Kai lured the smaller ones away, and the group kept fighting as they moved outward.
• The group continued planning to lead the Infected toward a densely populated area, knowing their own strength would eventually run out while the Infected had unlimited stamina.

• Ye Xuan cut off an Infected’s arm with a single sword strike, shocking Zheng Gang, Song Kai, and Mona.
• Song Kai gave Mona a meaningful look, and she led one Infected toward the nearby homes.
• A thunderous gunshot sounded as Mona neared the homes.

Song Kai and the others realized that the attackers had obtained firearms, raising suspicions about the world’s unusual scarcity of superhumans and delayed infection outbreak. Zhou Yihu’s headshot failed to stop one of the mutated monsters, showing how difficult they were to kill.

• Song Kai considered why firearms were rare in Vast Kingdom and suspected that this world had fewer superhumans and a delayed infection outbreak.
• Mona wondered whether someone had robbed a police station to get the guns.
• Song Kai reasoned that the shooter must have connections to the black market and decided the infected should be lured away.
• Zhou Yihu shot one of the mutated monsters through the head, but it quickly resumed attacking.
