Bai Yaoyao lured the Zombie Horde away from Dark Night, then collapsed after escaping into her space. She woke three days later and prepared to return to her worried companions.
Bai Yaoyao returned to her exhausted companions after discovering that Keke’s Contract Plant, Qingling, had crumbled into powder. Reunited with the group, she rested with them, leaving Xuan Qi on guard while they recovered.
Keke grieved Qingling’s apparent death until Bai Yaoyao told her that a powerful wood ability user had once revived a plant, giving Keke hope that she could bring Qingling back. Dark Night stayed to recover, and Keke devoted herself to training while the group enjoyed a brief respite.
Lulu awakened a poison ability, and Bai Yaoyao’s team recovered, strengthened their abilities, and prepared to leave. In her space, Bai Yaoyao named the Mutant Sweet Potato Little Red after it proved itself in battle.
Bai Yaoyao’s group left to train, while City D Base struggled to recover from a devastating zombie siege. Wang Jingyu feared the surviving lead zombie would gather another horde, and Dark Night remained unreachable.
Wang Jingyu led the defense against a massive zombie horde and was nearly overwhelmed by its level-five leader. Dazhuang turned the tide with his powerful abilities, but his lack of combat skill left him badly injured, and Wang Jingyu faced another deadly attack as Bai Yaoyao’s group hurried toward the base.
Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night arrived at City D Base as zombies attacked and rescued Wang Jingyu and Dazhuang. They killed the level-five mutated zombie, rallied the base’s defenders, and charged into the horde.
Dark Night helped repel the zombie horde at City D Base after Bai Yaoyao killed the mutated zombie directing it. The team returned to the base to rest, while Bai Yaoyao avoided hearing Secretary Wu's request for further help.
Bai Yaoyao warned Chen Jing and Xue Yang to keep Dazhuang hidden because others might exploit his extraordinary healing constitution. After the team returned to the General's Residence, Wang Jingyu visited Bai Yaoyao to learn why he had survived a zombie scratch, then left excited to share news of Xiaomi's purification ability.
Bai Yaoyao organized sparring matches at Dark Night while waiting to see whether another zombie horde would attack. Secretary Wu and Wang Jingyu then offered Dark Night a mission to investigate the Authorities' base in L City, and Bai Yaoyao accepted in exchange for a level-five Crystal Core.
Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night accepted a mission from City D Base and prepared to leave, trading compensation and supplies with Secretary Wu and Wang Jingyu. After setting out, they chose a shorter but dangerous route across the Ningqing Grand Canal, where a powerful Mutant Crocodile might threaten them.
At a gas station, Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night encountered Mao Tingting, who tried to trick them into taking her along. After Bai Yaoyao refused, Doggie later stopped Mao Tingting from stabbing her Labrador, leaving the dog alive.
After Doggie persuaded Bai Yaoyao to take in the abandoned Labrador, the group continued toward the Ningqing Grand Canal. Bai Yaoyao sensed a powerful enemy ahead, so they decided to detour through the air under Xuan Qi’s shield.
Bai Yaoyao and her companions bombed a section of the Ningqing Grand Canal, then encountered a wounded level-five gyrfalcon with a wind ability. After feeding it, Bai Yaoyao invited it to join them, and it agreed to fight alongside the group and never betray them.
After Peiqi sensed Gyrfalcon’s kind heart, Bai Yaoyao welcomed the mutant bird into Dark Night and named it Big Sea. The group later encountered six desperate survivors who mistook them for people sent by Proud Sky Base, and Bai Yaoyao demanded to know why they were being hunted.
Bai Yaoyao’s group encountered and wiped out Proud Sky Base’s roadblock crews, then learned that Stone’s former pursuer, Sun Weixing, had been captured by the base. Though Stone said he and Sun Weixing were even, Bai Yaoyao decided the group would make a quick trip to rescue him and attack Proud Sky Base.
Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night entered Proud Sky Base to rescue Sun Weixing, confronting the base’s leader, Mei Renxing, along the way. They refused his offer to release Sun Weixing and leave, and the chapter ended with Sun Weixing recognizing Stone as Shi Mengyun.
Dark Night defeated Mei Renxing and his men at Proud Sky Base, then Bai Yaoyao left the survivors with Sun Weixing in charge while the group prepared to continue to City L Base. The grateful residents gathered to send Dark Night off before dawn, and Bai Yaoyao left with an unwilling smile.
After leaving the survivors at Dark Night Base, Bai Yaoyao and her companions reached L City and disguised themselves to investigate its Authority-run base and search for Zhen Jian. The group split up, and Bai Yaoyao, Monkey, and Lulu were stopped at the entrance for failing to register.
Bai Yaoyao and her companions entered City L Base by posing as different kinds of newcomers, and Bai Yaoyao’s group ended up among the lowborn laborers. As they began their assigned work, Bai Yaoyao considered how the base might survive a future Zombie attack and looked for opportunities to act.
Bai Yaoyao and Lulu began working in the untouchables’ district, where they saw the workers’ brutal treatment and learned how little food they received. They gained Sister Li’s approval by cleaning the warehouse, then used their connection to Monkey and their plan to get closer to Sister Li as they settled into the camp.
Monkey won the laborers’ trust and encouraged them to organize against Yuan Hongguang, while Bai Yaoyao’s allies gathered intelligence and maneuvered among City L Base’s factions. The chapter left their plans poised to exploit the base’s rivalries at Yuan Hongguang’s welcome party.
Bai Yaoyao discovered that Xiao Yufei could unlock the Armory and told him to wait while she prepared to bring down Yuan Hongguang. She and Lulu gathered allies and watched for a chance to act, but a man arrived demanding waitresses for a welcome party.
Bai Yaoyao and Lulu infiltrated a banquet in the Inner City, where Bai Yaoyao helped Xiaomi’s group provoke a confrontation between Yuan Hongguang and Human Emperor. The chapter ended with Human Emperor accusing Liu Yilin of attacking him with a psychic ability.
Bai Yaoyao, Lulu, Xiaomi, Monkey, and the rest of Dark Night drove City L Base into an all-night revolt and a three-way battle. As Yuan Hongguang, Liu Yilin, and the Human Emperor died in quick succession, the chapter left the base’s leaders eliminated and the uprising in chaos.
