Chapter Summaries

After grieving through the night, Lin Yi recovered some resolve when Li Jie returned a golden monkey hair he had found. As the convoy traveled through the snow, Lin Yi swiftly killed a Long-Tongued Wraith and absorbed it into the Blood Ring.

• Lu Hanxue built an ice house to shelter the survivors, while Li Jie arranged for Hawkeye to watch over the convoy after their Guide disappeared.
• Lin Yi smoked outside through the night, and Li Jie found him in the morning still surrounded by cigarette butts.
• Li Jie returned a golden monkey hair to Lin Yi, who asked whether any sequence could bring the dead back to life.
• Li Jie told Lin Yi that Lu Hanxue was still injured and asked him to help protect her, and Lin Yi agreed.
• The convoy set out through deep snow, and Lin Yi killed an approaching Long-Tongued Wraith with the Blade of Greed before the Blood Ring absorbed it.

As the convoy traveled through the snowy mountains, a pack of giant wolves attacked the survivors, and Lin Yi went after their enormous Wolf King. Lu Hanxue froze the wolves and survivors to stop the pack from killing anyone, but the Wolf King vanished just as Lin Yi struck.

• Li Jie told Liu Ning the convoy would reach town in two days, while the survivors gathered fuel and cooked thin porridge.
• Li Jie tried to share chocolate and reminisce with Lin Yi and Wu Ke, but Lin Yi refused to listen and Wu Ke was dragged away.
• Hawkeye warned Li Jie that more than a hundred giant wolves and a five-meter Wolf King were approaching, and Lin Yi set off to confront the leader.
• Li Jie raised ice walls around the survivors as Lu Hanxue summoned a storm that froze the charging wolves.
• The wolves teleported inside the ice walls, so Lu Hanxue froze the wolves and survivors together to protect them from being bitten.
• Lin Yi emerged near the Wolf King and swung the Blade of Greed at its skull, but the Wolf King vanished before the strike landed.

Lin Yi captured the Wolf King, used its pack to help the survivors travel and scout, then made the Wolf King repair a car while the hungry wolves went unfed. The group was left stunned when a colossal Blue Whale swam across the night sky, and Lin Yi silently clenched his fists.

• Lin Yi caught the fleeing Wolf King in the Sea of Blood and forced it to submit, then ordered it to stop its pack from attacking.
• Lin Yi assigned giant wolves to the survivors and sent the remaining wolves to scout, while he repeatedly rushed out to defeat Anomalies and raise the survivors’ contributions.
• Lin Yi gave the Wolf King a Universal Wrench and made it repair an assembled car, then ordered it to install two Anomaly materials.
• Lin Yi ignored the wolves’ hunger and fell asleep beside one, leaving the pack to scavenge for bark and roots.
• A sky-spanning Blue Whale swam through the night, terrifying the wolves and leaving the survivors in awe; Wu Ke reflected that they had seen only a glimpse of the apocalypse, and Lin Yi clenched his fists.

Lin Yi and Lu Hanxue reached the Small Town, where Lin Yi collected supplies before a woman lured him toward a giant snake hidden beneath a shopping mall. He escaped the snake’s attack, but a Shadow Anomaly appeared from the woman’s shadow and she ordered it to find him.

• Lin Yi inspected his upgraded assembled car and traveled toward the Small Town with Lu Hanxue and the wolf pack.
• Lin Yi swept supplies and furniture from the town into his Blood Ring while the Wolf King sensed his shadow twisting strangely.
• A woman called Lin Yi toward a shopping mall, then revealed herself as the tongue of a giant snake that emerged from underground.
• Lin Yi used Otherworldly Walking to dodge the snake’s attack, struck its scales with the Blade of Greed, and fled with the Wolf King after warning others over the walkie-talkie.
• A Shadow Anomaly emerged from the woman’s shadow, and she asked whether it could find Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wounded the giant snake pursuing him and escaped with its meat, then returned to the convoy and tested the meat by feeding it to the Wolf King. After sharing meat with Li Jie and the wolves, Lin Yi headed into the darkness when a scout reported another eerie entity, and the Wolf King's loyalty rose back to 20 after eating the snake meat.

• Lin Yi struck the giant snake with the Blade of Greed and escaped after it crashed to the ground, though the woman on its tongue survived and the snake turned back toward Small Town.
• Lin Yi collected the snake meat and met Lu Hanxue, who had ridden out to support him, before they caught up with the convoy.
• Lin Yi fed some snake meat to the Wolf King and gave Li Jie a jin to eat, then used ordinary meat to feed the other wolves.
• A wolf scout returned with news of an eerie entity ahead, so Lin Yi rode out with the Wolf King, whose loyalty had risen to 20 after eating the snake meat.

• Lin Yi watched the old Daoist use a powerful sword technique to destroy the ghostly face, but the Daoist died in the process.
• The Daoist’s disciple arrived, and Lin Yi helped him bury his master before handing him Grimace's Mask.

• Lu Hanxue appeared and told Lin Yi that Li Jie had worried he was dead, then disappeared.

After burying Xuanqing’s master, Lin Yi continued traveling with Lu Hanxue’s convoy through the ice and snow. The group encountered survivors from the Doomsday Train, and the chapter ended with Lu Hanxue revealing that their Guide was dead.

• Lin Yi set off with Xuanqing, refused the sword and Daoist Principles Compendium, and wondered whether Xuanqing’s master had attained Sequence Transcendence.
• Lin Yi rejoined Lu Hanxue’s convoy, and Li Jie praised the snake meat Lin Yi had given him.
• Hawkeye announced that the convoy was two days from leaving the ice and snow, then hastily changed his tune after Lu Hanxue’s frosty response.
• A white train with no tracks stopped beside the convoy, and Zhang Chen introduced himself as a Guide from the Doomsday Train alongside Xiao Liuzi and Faqing.
• Faqing ogled Lu Hanxue, who attacked him with icicles; Faqing deflected them, and Zhang Chen offered a sack of rice as an apology.
• Zhang Chen asked where the convoy’s Guide was, and Lu Hanxue replied that he was dead.

Lu Hanxue’s convoy met Zhang Chen’s group and began a barter session, where Zhang Chen revealed his train’s vegetable garden and chicken farm. After seeing the rare food, Lin Yi offered Anomalies to trade for chickens, fruit, and vegetables.

• Zhang Chen proposed a trading session, and Liu Ning agreed to begin after half an hour.
• Xiao Liuzi warned Zhang Chen that attacking the convoy would lead to their deaths, so Zhang Chen decided to trade normally while Faqing urged him to release a monster.
• Survivors from both sides displayed goods for barter, and Zhang Chen invited Liu Ning, Lu Hanxue, and Lin Yi aboard the Doomsday Train to see its valuable supplies.
• Zhang Chen showed them a carriage of fresh vegetables and another filled with oversized hens and eggs, asking for Anomalies, Anomaly materials, seeds, or wolves in exchange.
• Lu Hanxue agreed to trade for eggs, and Lin Yi offered three Anomalies for two chickens and the remaining trade goods in fruit and vegetables.

Lin Yi traded Anomalies for livestock and vegetables, then gave the Jury-Rigged Car the ability to designate another driver so Xuanqing could take the wheel. That night, as the convoy stopped to rest, Hawkeye spotted something approaching.

• Liu Ning traded three Anomalies from Lin Yi and one from the convoy for three hens and vegetables from Zhang Chen's group.
• Lin Yi gave Lu Hanxue some vegetables as a gift, then kept the hens in the Jury-Rigged Car because the Blood Ring could not store living things.
• The Doomsday Assembled Car gained the ability to designate a driver, and Lin Yi asked Xuanqing to drive.
• Xuanqing struggled to control the car through the day before improving by night, while the survivors teased him.
• Wu Ke called for the convoy to rest, and Hawkeye suddenly opened his eyes and warned that something was coming closer.

Lin Yi and the convoy fought through waves of horrors until a monstrous pregnant woman appeared and revealed a Ghost Infant inside her. The infant escaped Lin Yi’s attack and possessed a survivor, leaving the convoy facing another impending birth.

• Hawkeye warned Lu Hanxue and the survivors that horrors were closing in from every direction, and the convoy hurried onward.
• Lu Hanxue froze approaching sheep-headed horrors while Lin Yi killed a group of Drowned Wraiths and unleashed a sea of blood against the remaining attackers.
• A barefoot, pregnant horror approached, and Lin Yi struck her head before escaping as her body exploded and a Ghost Infant emerged.

• Lin Yi returned to the convoy and found a woman whose belly was swelling as corpse spots spread across her body, while she cried for help.
