Jiang Yu learned that she would join the expedition with both research teams, then discovered that the researchers had tracked the strawberries she secretly planted in her space. After harvesting them, she understood that her space’s yields could be predicted from her work and superpower use.

• Elder Zhang initially refused to let Jiang Yu join the expedition, but Sheng An and Hao Jingye explained that both the wasteland agricultural and meteorite research teams would travel with Group B.
• Jiang Yu returned to the Agricultural Research Institute and reported that she had finished planting the experimental fields and Hope planting area, while Yu Litian and Chen Jiaojiao worked in her space.
• Academician Zhou gave Jiang Yu a yield estimate that included the strawberries she had planted, explaining that statistics experts had calculated the crop’s yield from her superpower use and work schedule.
• Jiang Yu, Yu Litian, and Chen Jiaojiao harvested and weighed the strawberries, finding that the yield matched the estimate exactly.
• Jiang Yu found and tasted one misshapen strawberry left behind, then looked across her space and suddenly understood.

Jiang Yu announced that others could enter her space and discovered that Sheng An and the research team had already known about it and planned to use it. She learned she could stop laboring in the fields, receive rewards, and join missions, leaving her both relieved and regretful about how hard she had worked.

• Jiang Yu decided to reveal that other people could enter her space, but Sheng An, Academician Zhou, and Hao Jingye reacted as if the news was unsurprising.
• Jiang Yu brought the researchers, Sheng An, and Hao Jingye into the space, where the researchers discussed their existing plans to study and expand it.
• Sheng An told Jiang Yu she no longer needed to work in the fields, would keep her benefits, and would receive a plot of her own.
• Jiang Yu realized Academician Zhou and Academician Huang had already planned research trips and that she could join missions.
• Sheng An admitted they had known about the space for a long time, and Jiang Yu cried over how much she had unnecessarily toiled.

Sheng An led a convoy from the Capital City toward the Southwest Region to collect meteorite fragments and reach a shelter with a healing-type Superpower Person. As the convoy approached the cut-off B11 Shelter, its leaders revealed that a powerful Space Esper named Tang Tao had stolen its supplies and was threatening its residents.

• The Capital City Base Director, Elder Zhang, and Group A saw Sheng An’s team off, and Qiu Yu promised to keep the Capital City safe.
• Sheng An’s convoy set out with soldiers, Superpower Persons, a research team, supplies, and communications vehicles, following a route past shelters to collect meteorite fragments.
• The team screened officials at several shelters, found infected hidden Otherkind among them, and discussed how removing the fragments might help address the threat.
• Hao Jingye warned that the convoy was nearing B11 Shelter, which had lost contact along with a previous supply convoy.
• At B11, Tian Mingcheng told Liu Zhao that Tang Tao was recruiting people by force and had hijacked the supply convoy, leaving the shelter without food or medicine and causing dozens of deaths.

Liu Zhao and Captain Tan tried to stop Tang Tao from taking B11’s Superpower People and able-bodied residents, but Tang Tao promised food and a chance to awaken powers. As people began joining him, Liu Zhao warned that leaving would expose their families to the Otherkind.

• Liu Zhao left to confront Tang Tao, and Tian Mingcheng followed him.
• Captain Tan accused Tang Tao of stealing the Shelter’s food and abandoning its vulnerable residents, while Tang Tao argued that the weak should not consume scarce supplies.
• Captain Tan revealed that Tang Tao’s group had seized reserve weapons and food, using a poison-fog ability to overpower the garrison and occupy the First-Level Shelter.
• Tang Tao announced that he could strengthen Superpower People and give ordinary people a chance to awaken powers, prompting residents to consider joining him.
• Liu Zhao warned the crowd not to trust Tang Tao’s offer, but people began lining up after Tang Tao promised meals and possible powers.
• Liu Zhao cautioned that the Otherkind could attack their families if everyone left, and some residents hesitated before Tang Tao said their families would starve anyway.

Tang Tao seized recruits from B11 Shelter and planned to starve its remaining people into submission. As Sheng An’s convoy approached, her team discovered that Tang Tao’s group intended to rob them, and the chapter ended with the convoy stopping beside the would-be attackers.

• Tang Tao threatened Captain Tan and took recruits from B11 Shelter, while Liu Zhao insisted the shelter would hold on until help arrived.
• Dong Jiahuan and Tang Tao discussed collecting meteorite fragments, and Tang Tao explained that he planned to starve B11’s people before recruiting them as laborers.
• Wu Buyu spotted people near B11, and Wan Yuan heard Tang Tao’s group discussing robbing the approaching convoy.
• Sheng An’s convoy crossed fissures using earth- and metal-based powers, impressing Tang Tao and Shi Lin.
• Tang Tao told his group not to attack yet, and Sheng An’s convoy stopped beside them.

Sheng An and the Special Affairs Office uncovered Tang Tao’s lies and arrested him after he attacked them. At the B11 Shelter, they learned his theft had left people starving, and Sheng An shot him while ordering the team to collect the stolen supplies.

• Tang Tao introduced his group to Sheng An and claimed they had received the government’s food and killed every Otherkind, while Dong Jiahuan tried to conceal the truth about her ability.
• When an ordinary person accused Tang Tao of oppressing the shelter, Sheng An ordered him to lead them back; Tang Tao instead commanded his team to attack, but the Special Affairs Office subdued them.
• After Tang Tao’s group left, an Otherkind killed more than a dozen people at the shelter before Captain Tan’s team killed it, leaving Captain Tan injured and Liu Zhao devastated.
• Sheng An arrived at the shelter with Tang Tao captured and asked Liu Zhao whether Tang Tao had robbed the food delivery; Liu Zhao confirmed it and said people had starved.
• Sheng An pinned Tang Tao down, shot him, and ordered the Special Affairs Office to collect the supplies.

Sheng An and the Special Affairs Office killed Tang Tao and his accomplices, then began judging the survivors at the shelter. After Liu Zhao said the remaining members had committed no crimes deserving death, Wu Buyu and Qi Lingwu suddenly killed several more, leaving everyone shocked.

• Sheng An shot Tang Tao, and his death released a huge pile of emergency shelter supplies that Li Wanyun stored.
• Yu Feng, Li Xin, and Jiang Yu subdued Tang Tao's accomplices and drove them before the shelter's survivors.
• Sheng An asked Liu Zhao and Captain Tan to identify who deserved execution, and Qi Lingwu warned the crowd not to object.
• Captain Tan named Dong Jiahuan and Liu Zhao named Shi Lin, so Sheng An and Li Xin executed them before the survivors listed other accomplices' crimes.
• Liu Zhao said the remaining people had committed no crimes deserving death, but Wu Buyu and Qi Lingwu killed seven or eight of them, prompting the crowd to scream.

Sheng An’s team secured B11, exposed the danger of Tang Tao’s meteorite fragments, and began restoring communications and the shelter. As Jiang Yu brought the Planting Research Group out of her space, Liu Zhao was stunned by the people who appeared out of thin air.

• Sheng An revealed that many people in B11 were Otherkind after Tang Tao used meteorite fragments to awaken and enhance superpowers.
• Sheng An explained the fragments’ risk, and the superpower people rejected using them; she agreed to collect the fragments for the Research Institute.
• Sheng An assigned the Special Affairs Office to search for Otherkind, restore communications, repair the shelter, and distribute supplies.
• The people of B11 received supplies and joined the shelter repairs, while Wan Yuan investigated how meteorites had isolated the area.
• Sheng An asked Jiang Yu to work with the Planting Research Group to study the area and try planting there.
• Jiang Yu brought the Planting Research Group out of her space, startling Liu Zhao.

After contact with Capital City returned, Sheng An and the researchers discovered that five meteorite fragments had enclosed B11 and amplified their effects, worsening the soil’s toxicity. The group resolved to collect the fragments, but Old Qin woke with a cryptic warning that everything was wrong.

• Wan Yuan restored contact with Capital City after the obstruction blocking the signal disappeared, and Liu Zhao went to speak with Elder Zhang.
• Hao Jingye connected the restored signal to Qi Lingwu and the others collecting meteorite fragments around the area.
• Qi Lingwu marked five fragments on a map, and Doctor Yan determined that their overlapping radiation ranges had cut off B11 and amplified their effects.
• Doctor Yan explained that storing the fragments in spaces did not weaken their influence, and he insisted they had to be collected to find a cure.
• Academician Zhou reported that the soil was becoming more toxic, though the increase slowed after Qi Lingwu collected the fragments, and Sheng An agreed they must gather the rest.
• Old Qin woke and said that something was wrong as someone staggered over the pitted ground.

The group debated whether collecting the meteorite fragments was the mistake in Qin Xuan’s prophecy, since they could neither destroy them nor leave them scattered without dooming humanity. Sheng An chose to keep seeking the truth rather than let uncertainty stop them, insisting that humanity should not simply accept extinction.

• Old Qin suggested that Qin Xuan’s prophecy might mean collecting the fragments was wrong, prompting the others to suspect him until Wu Buyu read his thoughts and confirmed he was only speculating.
• Doctor Yan explained that the fragments were too hard to destroy and that leaving them scattered would continue poisoning the world, while Li Xin confirmed he could not control them with his power.
• Song Linwei and the others considered whether the prophecy referred to collecting the fragments, and Wan Yuan questioned how fragments so indestructible could have broken apart.
• Hao Jingye asked whether they should continue collecting the fragments, and Qi Lingwu asked Sheng An for her decision.
• Sheng An said she would not let fear keep them from uncovering the truth, and she rejected Old Qin’s suggestion that they simply accept humanity’s eventual death.

The group discussed the worsening soil, dwindling supplies, and the need to find plants that could survive the wasteland. Qin Xuan used his power to foresee a mutant blade of grass, and Academician Zhou urgently asked where it was.

• Old Qin and Qin Xuan shared strawberries, easing the tension in the vehicle.
• Academician Zhou and Hao Jingye warned that poisoned soil and finite supplies could fuel desperation and unrest.
• Jiang Yu and Academician Zhou discussed the limits of her space and the need to find plants capable of growing in the wasteland.
• Qin Xuan used his power and described a bright green blade of grass growing in black soil that later ran away.
• Academician Zhou grabbed Qin Xuan's clothes and urgently demanded to know where the mutant plant was.

After Qin Xuan prophesied about a hard-to-find mutant plant, Sheng An decided the group would rest before continuing along their route, where they might encounter it. Meanwhile, the Special Affairs Office kept B11’s pardoned Superpower Persons working under harsh supervision, and Jiang Yu’s vines grew stronger as she drove them to build the base.

• Qin Xuan said he could not locate the mutant plant from his prophecy, and Sheng An told him to report any future visions immediately.
• Sheng An reasoned that the plant was likely along their route and decided the group would leave the next morning while keeping B11’s Superpower Persons under pressure.
• Long Tianyu forced Deng Lan and the other pardoned Superpower Persons to install a Solar-Powered Temperature Control System under the brutal sun.
• Wu Buyu sent the exhausted workers to begin building the base, and Jiang Yu used her vines to lash anyone who tried to rest.
• Jiang Yu’s vines branched into four, letting her whip more workers while she also supervised Yu Litian and Chen Jiaojiao in her space.

The Special Affairs Office left B11 after making its Superpower Persons promise to protect civilians and build the base. As they headed toward C9 to collect fragments, they learned about the shelter’s condition and its surveillance superpower.

• Sheng An teased Deng Lan and the other Superpower Persons about staying longer until they insisted B11 could manage on its own.
• Sheng An left B11 with her team, warning that they would pass through again, while the team discussed the worsening sky and the threat of rain.
• Hao Jingye reported that C9 had avoided major disasters but suffered heavy casualties from Otherkind, some of whom later fled to Stone City.
• Hao Jingye explained that a C9 Superpower Person had a surveillance ability that helped detect some Otherkind but could not find them all.
• Hao Jingye told Sheng An that C9 and nearby shelters had gathered fragments for the team to collect before continuing their mission.

Sheng An’s team arrived at C9 Shelter and learned that Otherkind had stolen its meteorite fragment in a bombing attack. When they discovered that more fragment deliveries were being ambushed, Sheng An changed the pursuit plan after realizing Li Xin might help them identify Otherkind.

• Hao Jingye complained that he had not awakened a superpower, and Song Linwei comforted him more successfully than Li Xin and Jiang Yu had.
• Sheng An’s team reached C9 Shelter and learned that Otherkind had used bombs to steal its fragment before fleeing.
• Sheng An reviewed the surveillance footage with Tian Fang while the communications squad searched the recordings.
• Wan Yuan reported that Qi Lingwu and Wu Buyu had encountered Otherkind ambushing Superpower People delivering fragments from other shelters.
• Sheng An questioned how Otherkind distinguished humans from their own kind, and Hao Jingye suggested they detected human blood.
• Sheng An told Wan Yuan to contact Qi Lingwu and have him find the Otherkind without killing them, saying they were switching plans.

Dummy infiltrated a group of three Otherkind carrying stolen energy fragments and led them to believe the Special Affairs Office was pursuing them. The group reached a burning mountain, unaware that Dummy had a hidden agenda.

• A woman and two men waited among urban ruins for their companions, then met Dummy, who claimed their dead comrades had given him two energy fragments.
• The Otherkind accepted Dummy and the fragments, and he warned them that Wu Buyu and two powerful pursuers were on their trail.
• The woman concealed the group as they fled, and the younger man remained suspicious of Dummy despite his foolish act.
• The four reached the foot of a burning mountain, where the woman whistled into the flames as the others celebrated their escape.
• Dummy's golden eyes flickered while the other three failed to notice.

Dummy infiltrated the Otherkind’s ritual at a blood pool, where gathered meteorite fragments unleashed powerful energy to strengthen their abilities. He left under the pretense of fetching sacrifices and returned with Sheng An and another person, prompting the priest to recognize the leader of their greatest enemies.

• The priest arrived and led Dummy and the others to a summit where more than fifty Otherkind gathered around a blood-filled pool.
• The woman, Qiu, the young man, and Dummy placed meteorite fragments in the pool, triggering a surge of energy that threatened to make Dummy’s power erupt.
• When the priest said the pool lacked blood, Dummy volunteered to capture two people and left under a protective shield.
• After escaping the others’ sight, Dummy transformed into the Little Golden Man and cursed the Otherkind’s ritual.
• Dummy returned carrying Sheng An and another person, and the priest recognized the woman as the leader of their greatest enemies.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu confronted the Otherkind on their mountain, but the priest refused to reveal whether their Master controlled them. Sheng An’s team bombarded the mountain, and as they watched from above, Long Tianyu realized Li Xin was still below—though Sheng An assured him Li Xin was safe.

• Sheng An entered the Otherkind lair with Qi Lingwu and threatened to destroy the mountain unless the priest talked.
• Sheng An tested whether the priest was forbidden or unable to speak about their Master, but his expression revealed nothing.
• After Sheng An mocked the Otherkind, the priest ordered an attack, and Qi Lingwu shot down the charging Otherkind.
• Long Tianyu used Flash to bring Sheng An and Qi Lingwu onto Wu Buyu’s back as Wu Buyu flew them clear of the mountain.
• Li Wanyun and Zhang Kun helped coordinate a bombardment that flattened the mountain while Sheng An, Qi Lingwu, and Long Tianyu watched from above.
• Long Tianyu remembered that Li Xin was still underground, but Sheng An assured him Li Xin was fine as he lay curled inside a metal ball.

Sheng An’s group defeated the Otherkind gathered on the mountain, but let Li Xin escape with the priest so he could remain undercover. After discovering how meteorite fragments and human blood strengthened the Otherkind, Sheng An warned that humans could turn into Otherkind in a world that favored their survival.

• Qi Lingwu and the artillery barrage killed most of the Otherkind, while Li Wanyun’s group blocked the survivors fleeing down the mountain.
• Dummy arrived inside an elastic metal ball and rescued the priest, the woman, and Qiu, allowing them to flee with him.
• Sheng An explained that Li Xin had been allowed to take the priest so he could investigate the Otherkind’s plans and other gathering places undercover.
• Sheng An and the others concluded that M was building the Otherkind’s strength, while Hao Jingye identified the meteorite fragments as their energy source and human blood as a way to accelerate their growth.
• Doctor Yan confirmed that fresh blood helped the Otherkind absorb energy from the fragments, and Sheng An warned that humans could turn into Otherkind at any time.

Doctor Yan and the others confirmed that human blood helped Otherkind absorb energy from meteorite fragments, and they considered whether Doomsday was a planned biological invasion. Sheng An urged the group to keep killing high-tier Otherkind and collecting fragments, just as the earth-type superpower person announced that he had dug something up.

• Doctor Yan explained that Otherkind used human blood to absorb energy from meteorite fragments and could eventually evolve to survive on fragment energy alone.
• Hao Jingye read the report estimating that Otherkind and superpower people would need far less food at around nine stars, while Doctor Yan noted Sheng An's power had not recovered.
• Song Linwei suggested that superpower people might unintentionally help Otherkind evolve by fighting them and supplying them with nourishment.
• Doctor Yan said any theory was possible until they uncovered the truth, and Sheng An declared that they would kill high-tier Otherkind, collect fragments, and seek a way to destroy them.
• The earth-type superpower person said he had dug something up, then reacted in surprise.

Dummy and the priest’s group escaped their pursuers, while Sheng An’s team discovered a powerful Otherkind hidden in the blood pool. The creature revealed three abilities and survived the team’s opening attacks, leaving them facing a formidable opponent.

• The priest stopped Dummy, Qiu, and the woman from running, saying their pursuers would be too busy finding someone else to chase them.
• The priest scolded Dummy for acting rashly and ordered him to follow instructions, but Dummy replied that he had not been told to speak.
• An earth-type Superpower Person uncovered a living man in the drained blood pool, and Sheng An recognized the danger and ordered everyone to retreat.
• The Otherkind attacked, displaying a flash ability and a crustacean mutation as Long Tianyu, Li Wanyun, and the others fought back.
• Sheng An revealed that the Otherkind also had a psychic superpower, making him a three-power opponent who endured the team’s attacks.

Sheng An’s group defeated a powerful Otherkind by cutting him off from meteorite fragments soaked in a blood pool, then took him alive for study. Meanwhile, the priest sensed the failure and headed for another settlement with Qiu, the woman, and Dummy to try again.

• The Otherkind’s shell and seemingly endless strength overwhelmed the group until Sheng An realized he was drawing power from the blood pool.
• Li Wanyun collected the meteorite fragments while Jiang Yu, Song Linwei, and Zhuang Fan restrained the Otherkind, and Sheng An dragged him away from the pool.
• With the Otherkind weakened, Qi Lingwu and Liu Yue injured him; Sheng An ordered the group to keep him alive, and Doctor Yan identified the fragments as the source of his power.
• Sheng An cut off the Otherkind’s hands, and the group set out to contact Li Xin while Qi Lingwu checked on her after she used her foresight.
• The priest sensed that his cultivated companion had been defeated and set off with Qiu, the woman, and Dummy for another settlement to begin again.

Sheng An's team pursued the priest's group toward the Southwest Region while collecting Fragments at D3 Shelter. After noticing D3 had been unusually cooperative, Sheng An returned there with three teammates while the convoy continued onward.

• Hao Jingye reported that the authorities were investigating Otherkind strongholds and warned that the Otherkind might target a healing-type Superpower Person in the Southwest Region.
• Sheng An agreed to continue toward the Southwest Region and approved stopping at D3 Shelter to collect Fragments before catching up with Li Xin's group.
• At D3, Tian Jiaming gave the team more than a dozen Fragments, reports, photographs, and samples, and the convoy departed within minutes.
• Hao Jingye said the priest's group had pulled ahead, and the team discussed how cooperative D3 had been.
• Sheng An said D3 had been too cooperative and returned there with Wu Buyu, Long Tianyu, and Li Wanyun while Qi Lingwu stayed with the convoy.

Sheng An returned to D3 with Wu Buyu, Long Tianyu, and Li Wanyun after her instincts warned her that the shelter was not as normal as it seemed. They found evidence of a connection to the Otherkind and planned to enter D3 by confronting its garbage workers.

• Sheng An ordered the convoy to slow down and returned to D3 with Wu Buyu, Long Tianyu, and Li Wanyun while the others continued after the priest.
• The priest, Qiu, and a woman became trapped in a deep fissure after Dummy caused them to fall, and Qiu broke his arm when he struck Dummy.
• Sheng An led her companions to a D3 emergency exit, where they overheard residents describe an infectious disease and people dying after garbage duty.
• Sheng An searched the dumped garbage and found bloodless body parts, leading the group to suspect a link to the Otherkind.
• Sheng An decided to catch the garbage workers and have them bring the group into D3.

Sheng An and her companions uncovered that D3 Shelter Hospital was secretly turning patients into Otherkind through a process called “Divine Descent.” After they rescued Zhang Changxiu from the hospital’s Otherkind, Sheng An ordered them to kill.

• Tian Jiaming reassured the crowd outside the hospital, then had a worried mother and suspicious boy brought inside, where staff seized them.
• Tian Jiaming and Bell revealed that they had deceived the Special Affairs Office and planned to expand Divine Descent using blood and meteorite fragments.
• Zhang Changxiu saw patients transformed into Otherkind and watched them attack a newly awakened Superpower Person for his blood.
• Zhang Changxiu refused to drink blood from a fragment-soaked tank and tried to escape, but a nurse caught him.
• Sheng An, Li Wanyun, Long Tianyu, and Wu Buyu arrived and killed the Otherkind in the room; Sheng An ordered them to kill.

Sheng An and her team wiped out the Otherkind occupying D3’s hospital, then moved to expose and clear out those hiding in the Shelter. As the residents rallied around Sheng An, the Special Affairs Office prepared to warn other Shelters and launch a broader campaign against Otherkind gathering places.

• Long Tianyu sealed the hospital exits while Sheng An, Li Wanyun, and Wu Buyu killed the Otherkind inside, including a shadow-hiding attacker who tried to ambush Sheng An.
• Sheng An said the team would get the hospital lists and investigate Otherkind hiding in the Shelter.
• Tian Jiaming, Bell, and their surviving companions tried to flee with three Energy Sources, but Ji Yani, Liu Yue, and Gu Qiansheng blocked their way.
• Hao Jingye and Wan Yuan arrived at the D3 Shelter, where Sheng An had told residents about the Otherkind threat and asked them to help investigate.
• Sheng An urged the team to warn every Shelter and destroy Otherkind gathering places, while Wan Yuan prepared to report D3’s infiltration to the government.
