Bai Yaoyao discovered that Tiger Cub had awakened a mutant fire-type ability, then brought her group to teach combat training at Dark Night Base. She began organizing lessons for the packed crowd of ability users and ordinary people.
Bai Yaoyao turned a planned one-day class into ten days of combat and ability training at Dark Night Base. She assigned the recruits to groups and tailored exercises to their abilities, beginning with the unusual ability users under her guidance.
Bai Yaoyao toured the groups training under her friends and saw how Stone, Peiqi, and Keke’s group used brutal methods, while Zhi Yi and his fellow disciples taught gently. She encouraged a contest between Zhi Rui and his senior brothers, and the day ended with Zhi Rui’s trainees improving quickly through A-Dai and Peiqi’s harsh training.
Acid rain struck the city, blistering and poisoning everyone it touched, while Bai Yaoyao’s training kept her group safely inside. As Sun Weixing rushed to respond with three light Ability Users, Bai Yaoyao noticed Xia Tian’s abilities and asked if she could handle bloodier training.
Bai Yaoyao arranged training for Xia Tian and noticed Song Yuxi, a formidable fighter from her previous life, struggling as a level-three ability user. As the endless rain flooded the base, Sun Weixing stayed busy with work and sent his younger brother to train with Dark Night instead.
After ten days of punishing training, Bai Yaoyao told the trainees they had all passed but offered no closing speech, leaving them uncertain about Dark Night’s place in the base. Sun Weixing and Sun Weihao reassured them that Dark Night had given up valuable training time to help everyone.
Bai Yaoyao selected twelve promising ability users and suggested they form a squad, while allowing Sun Weixing to use Dark Night’s reputation to rally the base. Most accepted the idea, and Bai Yaoyao rewarded the chosen fighters with food before leaving them to organize their team.
Bai Yaoyao distributed supplies, then ended Dark Night’s teaching duties so everyone could focus on cultivation while acid rain kept the base confined indoors. As the rain continued, the group settled into life in the building and began nightly competitions.
Bai Yaoyao named Tiger Cub Big King and used harsh punishment to suppress trouble at Dark Night Base as acid rain forced everyone upstairs. A month later, Sun Weixing borrowed supplies from Bai Yaoyao and learned he could trade crystal cores for what the base needed, leaving him eager for zombies to attack before Dark Night departed.
Bai Yaoyao and the beasts comforted Big King as he grieved for his mother, while the easing rain gave Dark Night a chance to begin dealing with the floods. Sun Weixing’s team went out in protective suits, and the chapter left Bai Yaoyao’s group waiting for the water to recede before they could venture out.
After flooding damaged Dark Night Base, Bai Yaoyao and the others rushed out to fight a new zombie horde and search for its leader. Sun Weixing mobilized the base too, while Sun Weihao led the Black Night Squad into battle.
Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night fought back a zombie siege, killing a child zombie leader whose reflection ability would have made him one of the strongest zombies in the future. Their successful defense rallied the base’s fighters, and Big King proved himself in his first battle.
A Level Six Speed Ability Zombie attacked Big King, and the timid rabbit sacrificed itself to save the young tiger. As Dark Night fought the zombie, Big King’s claws unexpectedly pierced its defenses, giving the team an opening.
Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night killed the level six zombies, but Little Rabbit remained gravely wounded despite their efforts to treat it. On the way back, Bai Yaoyao recognized that Ji Huiming had a special-type ability and had him brought along, then shut Xia Tian and the others out of her quarters.
Bai Yaoyao captured Ji Huiming and used his healing blood to treat Little Rabbit, whose injuries healed as it began awakening a special ability. Little Rabbit remained unconscious but stable, and the next morning Bai Yaoyao discovered Dada Juan and Xiao Shiliu had stood guard outside all night.
Bai Yaoyao questioned Ji Huiming about his unusual ability, then learned from Xia Tian that a strange fruit had given him a prolonged fever and awakened his power. She decided to investigate the manor where the fruit had been found and considered how to keep Ji Huiming from becoming a future threat.
Bai Yaoyao pushed Xia Tian to take revenge on Ji Huiming, then prepared to explore a manor Xia Tian had mentioned. After absorbing a level six crystal core, Bai Yaoyao’s spatial ability advanced, shaking her space and jolting the sleeping Little Rabbit awake.
After Bai Yaoyao’s space expanded and destroyed its cabin, she brought A-Dai inside, then found Great Sage had built a replacement house. Little Rabbit woke fully healed, and when Bai Yaoyao promised it could stay safe and never fight again, it shook its head.
Little Rabbit discovered its new healing ability and chose to leave Bai Yaoyao’s space to protect Big King. Bai Yaoyao set out for the Ji Family Manor after arranging supplies for Zhi Yi’s group and trading food, weapons, and other goods with Sun Weixing’s base.
Bai Yaoyao rewarded Dark Night’s fighters and turned a level five zombie encounter into a training session until the zombie killed itself. Near the manor Xia Tian had mentioned, the group sensed a dangerous poison-type zombie and prepared to turn back, but Little Rabbit volunteered to lead them onward.
Bai Yaoyao used Little Rabbit to lure a Level Six Zombie out of a Manor and led Dark Night in a coordinated attack. The zombie was critically wounded, but it grabbed Little Rabbit and detonated itself.
After Little Rabbit survived a zombie’s self-destruction, Bai Yaoyao’s group recovered and returned to the Manor, where a hidden mutant plant attacked them. Little Crook freed the trapped group and challenged the plant alone, gaining the upper hand.
Bai Yaoyao and Dark Night defeated a mutant vajra vine, and Little Crook absorbed its nutrients and began leveling up. In the Manor’s backyard, a mutant duck ate all the Fruit before Bai Yaoyao could stop him; Peiqi sensed his insincerity, so Bai Yaoyao sent Big King to attack him.
Bai Yaoyao used the Mutant Duck to train Big King and Big Lala, stopping Lulu from interfering when Big Lala was injured. After Bai Yaoyao killed the duck, Lulu reassured Big Lala that the group would not abandon him, and he broke down crying.
Bai Yaoyao and her group searched a manor, found a hidden underground laboratory, and discovered evidence of human experimentation that began before the apocalypse. The laboratory’s secrets remained unclear as they encountered a grotesquely preserved woman inside a culture vessel.
