• As more Funeral Wraiths entered the Camp's range, Chen Fan ordered everyone to engage them.

Chen Fan defended his Camp from a growing horde of Funeral Wraiths and created an automatic system that repaired the City Wall using the Altar. The Breeding Farm’s walls then fell under attack from a powerful Funeral Wraith with a Ghostlight Lantern, leaving Chen Fan facing a threat his limited eerie stones might not withstand.

He rebuilt the breached defenses around the Eerie Fire as the Funeral Wraiths continued their assault, and a mysterious female voice called out to him.

• The Funeral Wraith destroyed the Breeding Farm’s enclosing walls and blasted the City Wall, so Chen Fan upgraded the Eerie Fire to expand the Camp’s range.

• Chen Fan rapidly crushed Eerie Stones to repair the City Wall and build enclosing walls around the Eerie Fire, while a tearful female voice called him “Big brother.”

Chen Fan and his companions survived a night-long Funeral Wraith attack, killed every Funeral Wraith Chief, and found a Wraith Hide revealing the attack’s intended target and the wraith leader’s plans. At dawn, they began harvesting the corpses while Chen Fan considered seeking compensation from Northbank City.

• Chen Fan hid behind the City Wall as Funeral Wraith Chiefs blasted through the defenses, then used two Level 4 Arrow Fortresses and Arrow Rain Storm to kill them as they fled.
• After the last Funeral Wraith Chief died, every Funeral Wraith inside the Camp froze and fell dead, and Chen Fan’s group kept watch through the night instead of repairing the ruined Camp.
• At dawn, Chen Fan sent Crippled Monkey, Wang Mazi, and the others to gather eerie stones and drain blood from the corpses, then rushed outside to inspect the Chief’s body.
• Chen Fan found a Wraith Hide message ordering Thousand Throats to destroy city walls in the Jiangbei Wasteland ahead of its master’s planned arrival and ascension to Wraith King.
• Chen Fan realized the attack might have been meant for Northbank City and wondered whether the city would compensate him for taking the damage.

After the Funeral Wraith’s attack wrecked the Camp, Chen Fan looted its treasures and decided to relocate before the Wraith King’s forces arrived. He gathered his companions to discuss where they should move.

• Chen Fan assessed the ruined Camp and decided that standing his ground against the Wraith King’s remaining commanders was too dangerous.
• Chen Fan recovered a Windshield Bead, a Clearwind Formation, and a Mountain-Skeleton Embryo from the Funeral Wraith.
• Crippled Monkey showed Chen Fan Mourning Lanterns, which he recognized as valuable materials for upgrading Arrow Towers, and Chen Fan ordered everyone to gather them and prepare to move.
• Wang Kui and Little Qiu showed Chen Fan five chests of eerie stones and ghost materials, which he suspected were supplies for a formation.
• Chen Fan told Wang Kui and the others that three commanders remained and called a meeting to plan their relocation.

After debating whether to keep risking the Camp for rich rewards, Chen Fan accepted Wang Kui’s plan to build a safe Rear Base and unmanned outposts across the Wasteland. He chose Big Fish’s former village by the sea as their destination and ordered everyone to prepare to move.

• Zhou Mo argued that the Camp should stay in the dangerous area and use the spoils of battle to grow stronger, while Wang Kui warned that one defeat could destroy everything.
• Wang Kui proposed keeping support buildings at a safe main base while building unmanned outposts with City Walls and Arrow Towers to lure and attack strange entities.
• Chen Fan considered how the Copper Pipe and Mountain-Skeleton Embryo could help maintain the outposts and secure a Rear Base.
• Big Fish suggested his former village at the northern edge of the Jiangbei Wasteland, a Natural Eerie Fire Zone by the sea.
• Chen Fan chose the village as their destination and told everyone to dig up the eerie stone, pack, and get ready to move.

Chen Fan prepared the Camp to relocate north and completed the Sacrificial Tower’s sacrifice before leaving. He obtained a Yellow Grade Vehicle Workshop blueprint to develop his northern base.

• Chen Fan named the relocation plan Earth Dragon Migration as the Camp’s nine people packed supplies and sorted corpses in the rain.
• After four hours of work, Chen Fan chose to finish the Sacrificial Tower’s sacrifice before the Camp moved away.
• Chen Fan ordered Crippled Monkey to bring the Funeral Wraith Chief’s corpse, then used its sacrifice points and additional chief corpses to reach 2,000 points.
• Chen Fan completed the sacrifice and received a Yellow Grade Vehicle Workshop Building Blueprint.
• Chen Fan crushed the blueprint and saw Vehicle Workshop added to his Lord Panel as a constructible building.

After the Funeral Wraiths destroyed Chen Fan’s camp, he led his people and salvaged resources toward a new base at Big Fish’s former Village. They reached the Sea-facing canyon before nightfall, and Chen Fan decided the sheltered Village was the perfect place to settle.

• Chen Fan ordered Crippled Monkey to prepare the camp’s resources and Strange Entity corpses for the move, while leaving the camp’s upgraded Eerie Fire and defenses behind as an unmanned outpost.
• Chen Fan and his people departed Chen Family Station No. 37 in a convoy of four Three-Wheelers and discussed what to call their new home.
• After a day of travel, the convoy reached Big Fish’s former Village beside the Sea just before eternal night.
• Chen Fan examined the sheer Mountain, narrow canyon, and Village within, then declared the location a perfect base and urged the convoy onward.

Chen Fan and the convoy reached a Village inside the Mountain, where the strange terrain prompted them to wonder whether the Mountain and the Wasteland’s Rifts had been made by a powerful blow. They learned Zhou Mo had accidentally smashed Big Fish’s father’s grave, then built a simple camp in the Village as Eternal Night fell.

• The convoy crossed a rain-soaked Canyon and reached a Village surrounded by steep cliffs as Eternal Night approached.
• Zhou Mo struck a mound with a Hammer, and the group noticed that its shape resembled the Canyon and the crater-like Village terrain.
• The group speculated that a powerful cultivator had struck the Mountain and created the Wasteland’s Rifts, but Chen Fan urged them not to jump to conclusions.
• Big Fish revealed that the mound was his father’s grave and that he had made graves there for the group’s dead; Zhou Mo apologized and repaired the crater.
• Chen Fan led the group into the Village, where they built a simple Blockhouse under the protection of the Natural Eerie Fire Zone as darkness fell.

Chen Fan and his companions survived a night at the New Camp while a huge Strange Entity watched from outside, and they found dozens of Strange Entity corpses beneath the cliffs at dawn. On the way back to the Old Camp to finish connecting the Camps, Chen Fan told Crippled Monkey he wanted to build a faction based on ability and loyalty, not bloodline, and urged him to become a powerful Cultivator.

• Chen Fan guarded the New Camp with a Ghostlight Lantern while a huge Strange Entity watched from outside but never attacked.

• Chen Fan told Crippled Monkey he trusted him completely and wanted him to train with Zhou Mo and become a powerful Cultivator, encouraging Crippled Monkey to believe in himself.

Chen Fan connected the Copper Pipe route through the Canyon and began excavating a mountain cave for his Rear Base with a Level-5 Cannon Tower. He built a City Wall at the cave entrance and set ten more Cannon Towers to continue blasting into the mountain.

• Chen Fan checked the Old Camp, where Monkey-Head Entities had attacked, and decided to leave the corpses for Zhou Mo and the others to collect later.

Chen Fan expanded the Rear Base and prepared for the enormous creature that had watched him through the night. He spotted it in the Deep Pit, but it fled into the Canyon Passage when the area lit up.

• Chen Fan and the others spent the day clearing rubble, and he installed the Clearwind Formation and Mountain-Skeleton Embryo to secure and improve the Cave.
• Chen Fan found that the Vehicle Workshop would not fit inside the Cave, then let the exhausted workers sleep while he kept watch.

• At Eternal Night, Chen Fan heard Strange Entities fall from the cliff, then activated the Copper Pipes when he heard something massive moving.
• Chen Fan saw a huge crocodile-like monster pick up a Strange Entity's corpse; startled by the sudden light, it dropped the corpse and fled into the Canyon Passage.

Chen Fan settled into the Cave, investigated the crocodile-like Mountain God, and learned that the transplanted Flesh Wraith Parent-Child Seeds had ripened early. As night fell, Zhou Mo began marking the Eternal Night Calendar and asked how many nights had passed since the rainy season ended.

• Big Fish told Chen Fan that villagers called the fast, crocodile-like creature the Mountain God and said it appeared on the Mountain during the morning.
• Big Fish revealed that his Night Watcher ability, Clairaudience, let him hear sounds from ten thousand meters away, though he could not control it.

• The crocodile left, and Chen Fan concluded it was powerful, timid, and able to hold an unusually large amount in its stomach.
• The group survived the ninth night, and the Cannon Tower began the final day of clearing new ground for the Rear Base.

Chen Fan and the others finished excavating a secure Cave to serve as their Rear Base, then began outfitting it with an Eerie Fire and essential buildings. The Camp’s safe zone expanded to cover the entire Canyon Hollow, and the Cave started to feel like home.

• Crippled Monkey and the others finished excavating the Cave, while the Mountain-Skeleton Embryo helped stabilize it and clear rubble.
• Chen Fan counted the Camp’s resources and found it had 16,492 eerie stones remaining after the Cannon Towers’ excavation work.
• Chen Fan built and upgraded an Eerie Fire inside a sealed recess, raising it to level 5 and expanding the safe zone to cover the Canyon Hollow.
• Chen Fan built resting houses and a monitored warehouse, then added Level-2 Farmland, a Sacrificial Tower, and a Level-1 Altar to the Cave.
• The Cave gradually filled with buildings and amenities, becoming a more comfortable home for the Camp.

Chen Fan upgraded the City Wall at the Cave entrance to Level 3, gaining a counterattack effect and choosing blood-absorbing Vein Patterns for every section. He left the wall stronger and safer, while Wang Kui began his new job as Warehouse keeper.

• Chen Fan appointed Wang Kui Warehouse keeper and told him to move the supplies and prepare a hot meal for the Camp.
• Chen Fan spent 1,050 Eerie Stones to upgrade the twenty-one-meter City Wall to Level 2 and chose the Thorn Counterarmor transformation, which reflected some enemy attack force.
• Chen Fan spent another 10,500 Eerie Stones to upgrade every section of the City Wall to Level 3, using up the Eerie Stones Wang Kui had been moving.
• Chen Fan found no further qualitative transformations and chose Wraith Blood Vein Patterns for all twenty-one sections of the City Wall.

Chen Fan held a housewarming feast in the newly built Camp before a giant crocodile arrived to devour the Strange Entities that had fallen into the Canyon Hollow. He tried feeding it an Eerie Stone, and the crocodile approached the City Wall, staring at him with confusion and anger.

• Chen Fan and the others celebrated the completion of the Camp with a hot meal on the City Wall.
• Corpses of Strange Entities tumbled into the Canyon Hollow, and Zhou Mo suspected the crocodile had brought them.
• The crocodile cautiously entered the Camp and swallowed most of the corpses while watching Chen Fan.
• Chen Fan threw an Eerie Stone toward the crocodile, explaining that it likely hunted Strange Entities for the stones inside them.
• After fleeing briefly, the crocodile returned, ate the remaining corpses, and crept toward the Eerie Stone near the City Wall.
• The crocodile sniffed the stone and stared at Chen Fan from close range, its expression confused and angry.

Chen Fan discovered that the enormous crocodile rejected eerie stones but eagerly ate cooked meat, so he fed it every strange entity corpse at the Camp. After it left, hundreds of strange entities fell from the cliff, and the crocodile returned beneath the City Wall, waiting for another meal.

• Chen Fan threw a Level-2 Eerie Stone at the crocodile, which cried and began to leave until he called it back and offered it a chicken drumstick.
• Chen Fan ordered Qi Chong to roast the Camp’s collected strange entity corpses, and the crocodile ate them all before heading into the darkness.
• Wang Kui, Zhou Mo, Wang Mazi, and Crippled Monkey speculated about the crocodile’s nature and why it had reacted badly to eerie stones.
• Chen Fan told everyone to rest because the City Wall had reached level 3, but hundreds of strange entities then fell from the cliff.
• The crocodile returned to its spot beneath the City Wall, opened its mouth, and eagerly waited for Chen Fan to feed it again.

Chen Fan spent the night feeding a crocodile 127 Strange Entity corpses and counted the Camp’s new resources and Exotic Treasures afterward. The crocodile returned with a stone gift, then tried to lead Chen Fan to its lair so he could choose a toy.

• Chen Fan opened the City Wall gate so Crippled Monkey and the others could bring Strange Entity corpses to roast for the waiting crocodile.
• The crocodile ate 127 corpses overnight, then left as Zhou Mo reported how much it had consumed.
• Chen Fan counted the Camp’s Eerie Stone and discovered a Skywake Cannon and a Sunflower Seed among the Exotic Treasures.
• Chen Fan planned to fortify the Canyon Passage and went to rest, but the crocodile returned with an emerald Cape Stone.
• The crocodile offered the Cape Stone to Chen Fan, then dug a hole in the cliff and beckoned him toward its lair to choose a toy.

Chen Fan had the Crocodile excavate a second cave and installed a Vehicle Workshop there, then used it to produce a Skeleton Horse. He admired the horse’s ferocious appearance and wanted to ride it across the Wasteland.

• Chen Fan asked the Crocodile to dig a large cave into the Left Wing cliff, and it worked through the night.

• Chen Fan rode the Skeleton Horse through the Canyon Passage to the Seaside, then returned to Camp and inspected the horse's eerie-stone power supply.
• Chen Fan crafted a second Skeleton Horse and told Zhou Mo to learn to ride it and collect resources from fallen outposts.
• Chen Fan planned a Canyon Passage defense called the Meat Grinder, with Cannon Towers, hidden City Walls, and Eerie Fire, and considered using Crocodile to dig tunnels.

• Chen Fan laid Copper Pipe across the Wasteland and built five fortified Unmanned Outposts, spending 800 eerie stones.

Chen Fan returned to the Camp, tested the crocodile’s ability to dig a passage to a marked spot high on the Canyon wall, and began expanding the Camp’s defenses. He outlined a plan to use elevated Cannon Towers and inactive Eerie Fires to create a powerful defense called the Meat Grinder.

• Chen Fan returned to the Camp, where Zhou Mo reported finding around three hundred Strange Entity corpses at the Old Camp and handed them over for processing.
• Chen Fan ordered the crocodile to dig a passage from Cave No. 1 to a shallow crater high on the rock face, and it reached the marked opening with surprising accuracy.
• Chen Fan explained that the Canyon’s cliff faces could hold enough Cannon Towers to overcome the limited firepower that had contributed to the Old Camp’s destruction.
• Chen Fan built a Level-5 Cannon Tower and a concealed Level-2 City Wall at the high opening, then connected the tower to the Level-5 Eerie Fire with Copper Pipe.
• Chen Fan told Zhou Mo that additional Eerie Fires could extend the Camp’s boundary upward and named his planned defensive layout the Meat Grinder.

Chen Fan accompanied the Crocodile to its mountain lair after it ran out of liquid for digging. While the Crocodile showed him its stocked underground home and collection of toys, Chen Fan spotted several glowing exotic treasures among them.

• Chen Fan had the Crocodile spray green liquid into the pits he had prepared, but it ran out and asked to return home to replenish its supply.
• Chen Fan rode on the Crocodile's back up the mountain and looked down at Zhou Mo and the others in the Sinkhole.
