Bai Yaoyao arranged for Xiao Shiliu and Dada Juan to train with Bai Jin'an, then rushed to the convoy’s rear when an assassin stabbed Bai Qingqing while she protected Old Master Bai. The captured attackers revealed no useful information about the Ji Family, and Bai Yaoyao ordered them killed before the convoy continued.
Bai Yaoyao and her group returned to Dark Night Base, where residents welcomed them warmly. Before she could speak with Sun Weixing, Glory Base arrived and threatened the base, leaving the defenders to face a new confrontation.
Glory Base attacked Dark Night Base, but Bai Yaoyao’s side swiftly defeated them and subdued their Earth Bears. Though the survivors surrendered, Bai Yaoyao ordered them all killed, leaving the battle’s aftermath drenched in blood.
Bai Yaoyao returned to Dark Night Base and began organizing its next steps, then visited Elder Chen, whose precognition ability had left him dangerously depleted. After Chenxuan and Peiqi treated him, Bai Yaoyao forbade him from making predictions without the group’s preparation, and Elder Chen urged her to establish clearer rules for the growing base.
Bai Yaoyao returned to the Dark Night Base, learned that a zombie siege might be coming, and began reorganizing the base’s preparations. She gathered its leaders and residents for a briefing, where Xia Tian volunteered to explain the base’s situation.
Bai Yaoyao assessed Dark Night Base’s weaknesses and announced her plan to transform it into a key to ending the apocalypse. She assigned Ouyang Ning to manage the base’s ability users and asked Ouyang Ling about her background.
Bai Yaoyao finalized Dark Night Base’s leadership and construction plans, then prepared a nighttime operation to retaliate against the group they had encountered. She also promised the two Earth Bears that she would rescue their children in exchange for their protection of the base for two years.
Bai Yaoyao learned about Glory Base’s oppressive leadership and infiltrated it with A-Dai to investigate. They discovered Chen Guangrong being paraded through the streets by chanting residents, while a woman tried to keep them from attracting his attention.
Bai Yaoyao and her allies killed Glory Base’s tyrannical chief, Chen Guangrong, and his trusted followers, then invited the survivors to join Dark Night Base. As they began touring the base to gather supplies, Bai Yaoyao found that others had already started looting its warehouse.
Bai Yaoyao took control of the Glory Base’s supplies and rescued three Earth Bear cubs, then began preparing its residents to move to the Dark Night Base. After she distributed breakfast and learned the results of the head count, the chapter left her reunited with the cubs’ grateful parents.
Bai Yaoyao secured Big Bear and Second Bear as guardians of the Dark Night Base, then organized the Glory Base survivors for the journey back. The group traveled safely under the protection of Mutant Beasts and Plants and stopped in a town for the night, with two days of travel still ahead.
Bai Yaoyao confronted men who demanded that children give up their food, then forced them to face a zombie. A boy stood up to the zombie and impressed Bai Yaoyao with his courage, leaving her intrigued by his potential.
Bai Yaoyao discovered that Duan Yuwen had awakened the rare ability to control corpses, but chose not to make his path easy. Afterward, she decided to make Dark Night memorize classical Chinese passages, while Chenxuan asked for The Art of War.
Bai Yaoyao’s group rushed back toward Dark Night Base after she suspected a Zombie King had redirected the zombies there. They reached the area before the main force arrived and prepared to land and confront the threat.
Bai Yaoyao confronted the Lipstick Queen, a Zombie King with spatial abilities, and used lipstick as a distraction to defeat her. After collecting the Queen’s Crystal Core, Bai Yaoyao burned the corpse and hurried to rejoin Monkey and the others.
After killing the Zombie King, Bai Yaoyao saw the zombie horde retreat in an organized way and hurried back to Dark Night Base with the group. On the way, she discovered three hidden Blue-Dot Zombies and suspected the Ji Family had arranged the attack on Dark Night Base to plant infiltrators among the newcomers.
After returning to Dark Night Base, Bai Yaoyao organized the newcomers, reunited with Zhi Yi and his group, and checked on the base’s work. She left the chapter preparing to supply the Laboratory with equipment and materials while planning to learn how to make a Spatial Container.
Peiqi’s screening ability leveled up, letting her sense goodwill and hostility across a wide area, while she and Bai Yaoyao staged a public argument to mislead potential spies. Peiqi’s new ability revealed that Li Hai Feng remained neutral toward Bai Yaoyao despite his long association with the Black Night Squad, so they planned to test him.
Bai Yaoyao rooted out the Ji Family’s spies in the Dark Night Base and warned its residents to report anyone trying to betray them. The Ji Family stopped trying to infiltrate the base and focused on its experiments, while keeping Li Hai Feng under control through his captured family.
Bai Yaoyao began selecting recruits for Dark Night’s first combat team and checked on Xiao Shiliu and Dada Juan’s training. Bai Jin'an urged her to send Xiao Shiliu on a dangerous mission so he could face real bloodshed, leaving Bai Yaoyao torn between the practical need and Dark Night’s usual methods.
Bai Yaoyao rejected Bai Jin'an’s extreme training plan, then helped Lulu organize poison gas training to strengthen her ability. At the Training Ground, she discovered Doggie had been sabotaging the trainees’ attempts to retrieve fruit, leaving most of them injured and late.
Bai Yaoyao gave 200 speed ability users Strength Fruits and formed them into the White Colt Brigade, teaching them to use hit-and-run tactics. After Lin Yongjian led their first field exercise, the brigade successfully broke apart a zombie horde, and Bai Yaoyao left further combat training to Stone.
Bai Yaoyao began training sixty-nine space ability users, including Bai Qingqing, in offensive spatial skills. After several days of basic practice, she took them outside the base to hunt and confront zombies so they could overcome their fear and prepare for future roles.
Bai Yaoyao ended Bai Qingqing’s combat training after seeing that she was a liability, then assigned her to teach and care for the base’s children. Bai Qingqing eagerly prepared lessons, unaware that Bai Yaoyao had invented the mission to keep her off the battlefield.
Bai Yaoyao and Bai Jin'an arranged a staged monster attack to push Xiao Shiliu to take more responsibility, recruiting actors and preparing Dark Night Base for the deception. The chapter ended as Bai Yaoyao assigned teams to the supposed crisis and baited Xiao Shiliu into insisting he could handle a mission.
