Chapter Summary: "Where's My Sword?"

Key Plot Points

• Li You, Li Xiao, Yinglong, and others infiltrate cities to destroy robot factories of the Mechanical God Cult.
• Yinglong destroys 10 factories but is nearing exhaustion, with damaged wings from laser fire.
• Li You loses his right hand (saved by Bai Ye's bandages), Xiao Yi accidentally stabs himself, Li Xiao goes deaf from concussion grenades — their overall impact is minimal against the endless robot army.
• Gao Bancheng reports the Pseudo-Human army has arrived. The Chamber of Commerce needs half a day to finish evacuating.
• Bai Ye orders a fighting retreat to Ten Thousand Woods. Key constraint: Pseudo-Humans cannot be killed, as their death accelerates the flesh transformation spreading across the land.
• Bai Ye goes to Doctor expecting Serum bottles but finds none. Doctor has instead developed a virophage — a virus that specifically targets and destroys the Mutated Scarlet Virus inside Pseudo-Humans, self-replicating for mass application.
• Bai Ye is overjoyed, but Doctor reveals it will take one year to cultivate. Bai Ye's excitement collapses; the chapter ends with him searching for his sword.

• Scientific solutions over brute force: Doctor's virophage concept is exponentially more efficient than Serum, showing that brains can outmatch brawn.
• Comic relief in war: The chapter balances grim stakes with absurd humor (Li Xiao's deafness, Xiao Yi's self-stabbing, and especially Bai Ye's "Where's my sword?" punchline).

Character Interactions

• Bai Ye & the injured team: A comedic debriefing where each wound is more ridiculous than the last; Li Xiao shouts because he can't hear.
• Bai Ye & Gao Bancheng: Gao delivers urgent bad news ("Brother Ye! This is bad!!") — now a running gag.
