Pocket Arsenal

This rain is insane!

Hold on tight! Don't look down!

Su Qianqian, slow down!

With that tiny frame, you need more training!

Please don't make it come true!

Look over there!

Watch out, everyone!

It's day 7 of the apocalypse, and we've actually shrunk.

It actually got bigger!

Cut the crap, this is our secret weapon!

Brothers, time to work!

But trapping them won't kill them.

Then how... how do we use this thing?

But it's hard. Mm, it can definitely pierce their shells.

Damn, how is there such a huge one!

High physical defense?

I'll make you suffer!

What kind of bio-weapon is that green water?

It one-shot the elite monster!

At a time like this, you still want to listen to storytelling?

Boss, watch out!

This is the Eastern War Zone.

Cross the Sofa Volcano, and finally climb the first indoor peak, AC Peak!

But staying here is waiting to die!

We have to steal that bag back!

The wind is at least a level 10. We'll be blown away before we even crawl across.

So, we need to build a road.

We're finally out!

The floor is too slippery! I can't stand at all!

Watch out!

Holy shit!

What a broken matchmaking system!

Everyone to the cannons, pin it down!

These cold-blooded creatures can't resist light spots.

Full speed ahead!

This is more exhausting than a 5K cardio!

Then what do we do?

Right, anyone who wants to live, tie the rope to your waist now.

Huh, looks like dust mites.

What's that noise?

Why give you the supplies we fought for?

In my dictionary, there's only crushing and repelling.

Trying to run us over with that white bead?

Welcome to the white swamp!

It's a white black hole!

It's a silverfish!

Hurry up!

Press the nozzle with everything you've got!

So satisfying! Hahahaha, burn them alive!

We're dead! We're gonna roast ourselves!

Grab the alcohol and retreat! Rush to the rift ahead! No fluff there, it's the only firebreak!

Jump! Something will catch us below.

Are you blind?

Welcome to the Coin Ark. Metal doesn't burn, and there's plenty of space. The fire can't reach down here.

It's so dirty here!

Look over there!

People actually live here!

You worship a broken remote as an altar?

Treating a broken remote like a treasure!

This brat, always bossing me around.

Or my baby will snip you all in half!

You... you're the devil!

Chen Mo, what's the point of taking this broken remote?

Everyone, cover your ears! I'm opening the Heavenly Gate!

Open your mouths! Don't let your eardrums burst!

I actually like you too.

How do you have time for this right now?!

All survivors, head to the signal tower!

Where's a tower?

Yeah. Objective: cross the living room ice field.

Scatter! Don't clump together!

Why does it sound like grinding teeth?

Run for the wall!

It's gonna hit us!

Are we gonna die here today?

It's just a broken bottle. Can it stop it?

Brace for impact!

What's this?

Stop acting crazy, we're in danger!

Stop messing with me!

Mysterious rays strike, shrinking humans a hundredfold.

That's way too high. How do we climb it?

This thing?

Watch this. Get up there!

This is our ladder. Let's go up!

Hold the rope tight!

Let's kill 'em! Don't let them block the way!

What is it? Something's following us.

You've got a death wish!

It's the lizard, it caught up!

Brother Zhao, Boss Chen, save me!

It's too late! He'll drag us all down!

Zhao Batian, what are you doing?

You killed him! Not the lizard, you!

Your indecision will get us all killed sooner or later!

Push it back in and it should be fine.

This thing weighs at least a few dozen kilos.

Don't use brute force, the spring seems stuck. Listen to me!

Su Qianqian, you press the spring. Jump on my command, use your body weight!

You're sick!

If you want in, follow my lead!

Hah, I didn't build these muscles for nothing!

This is exhausting!

Everyone, stomp on it together!

Ugh, ouch!

It's September 12, 2006. There is no rescue.

2006? We clearly time-traveled from 2026.

Who says there's no rescue?

What's that?

Xiping, don't attract the moths.

Anyone who falls behind is dead!

If I eat it, will I become powerful?

This is evolution!

Being a monster is way better than being human!

How long can it hold?

Why is your face so red?

At this temp, the fishing line snapped long ago!

The fire's getting worse, what do we do?

Carrying this around, who're you gonna use it with?

Why are you looking at me?

Hurry, inflate it!

Qianqian, lead everyone into the Cang River!

There are too many of us!

Chen Mo, why do you carry that around?

Everyone's waiting for you two!

He's... he's tearing down the shelf!

Don't move. Squeeze in!

What did you say?

Don't you value your life the most?

Come on, big guy! Let's see what you got!

He really went to distract the cat?

Will he die?

The wound on your hand, what is that?

Will she turn into a monster then?

His power is growing. Maybe he really can fight that cat.

Isn't that a good thing?

But what happens after he drives it away?

Come on, kitty, let's fight!

Still not enough. Not nearly enough.

So what will he do?

Came to see if you're healed?

Lord Chen, shouldn't we redistribute it?

Don't I work the hardest?

Chen Mo, look at that. It's a catnip ball.

Great idea!

I need that ball. Who'll go?

Pull the rope!

This crappy grass ball is that effective?

Listen up, we only get one shot at this.

That's like plucking hair off a tiger!

It's not a tiger, it's a cat. Once it's high, it's just a purring pickup truck.

Hold on, I've got a treat for you!

Isn't this stuff too strong?

Everyone grab the fur and buckle up!

I'm actually riding it!

You know how to handle cats?

How will Chen Mo deal with this?

Haha, this is faster than a sports car!

Chen Mo, the robot vacuum is ahead, we're charging through!

That's Mimi for you!

A bunch of cowards!

You're still playing with the cat?

Look, we're almost there.

How's Mimi supposed to get up?

What is Chen Mo doing?

Che, don't get thrown off!

This hothead!

What's that sound?

Form up! Back to back! Use fire!

Tiger Strike!

His strength has surpassed human limits!

A bunch of weaklings, what's there to fear?

It's not safe here. The smell of blood will attract bigger predators.

Besides nearly falling to death, what did we get?

I'm starving. I'll eat however many show up!

You've all been fooled by this nerd!

Chen Mo just feeds you empty promises, but I can feed you meat!

Hypocrite!

To each their own, Zhao Batian.

This is a ready-made fortress!

Brother Batian, it's fresh and hot. Try some.

Brother Batian is our king now, but how can a king have no companion?

I can serve you personally.

Hahahaha! No one enters my tent tonight!

Uh, yes, boss.

There'll be two kids in this house from now on.

Power up!

Watch out!

Walls, power, and meat. Beats living in fear on the surface.

I don't eat dead meat. I want it alive!

That is true evolution!

That's the glow from the bug eggs Zhao Batian swallowed.

Chen Mo, what do we do now?

Five minutes is all we need. Everyone, to the control plaza!

Su Qianqian, take the left throttle, push it to the max. I'll steer.

Target the surface swarm!

He's training a cockroach army.

Was he shot down?

Mmm, Chen Mo, you smell so good.

As for Chen Mo, he's mine. No one touches his brain!

What's that sound?

Don't panic, they have no ranged weapons.

First squad, prepare dragon's breath!

Brother Batian's orders: kill the men, spare the women!

Guards, throw rocks! Don't let them near the battery!

We're done for, the alcohol's burned out!

You think a plastic toy can stop me?

We can't retreat!

Zhao Batian, you think abandoning your human body is evolution?

You just turned into a half-human, half-bug monster.

Watch how a monster crushes your turtle shell!

Zhao Batian, look here!

Too late!

Iron Man, drop the giant bell, quick!

What's this tremor? Hmm? Our god has descended!

Is this... is this your god?

This powder on him... is it catnip?

Minions, attack! Tear him apart!

Come back! No running away!

Uh, I'm an evolved being, I'm the king! I'm not afraid of you! Back off!

Chenmo, is he gonna get toyed to death at this rate?

For it, this is fate too. Now's our chance.

Spare us!

Kill them!

Hmm, they killed Xiao Liu last night.

Hmm, in this world, people are the most precious resource.

Killing is pointless.

Yes, yes! Thank you, Boss Chen! Thank you, Boss Chen! Thank you, Boss Chen!

Mimi, Chen Mo, will it stay here from now on?

Cat fur is a natural insulator.

So wash off the surface oil with soapy water first to increase friction.

This is called a herringbone weave.

It's just tough on the hands. This fur is coarse and stiff.

Is it waterproof?

You're kidding me. Look, the water just rolls off. Cat fur has natural oils, so it's naturally waterproof.

With this stable supply chain, we'll never worry about winter again.

Ah! Hey, listen, Mimi's awake. Ah!

That's no creature, it's a runaway tank!

Aim for its compound eyes, that's its weak point.

Forced refraction?

Not visual overload.

Add this, and what we're building is...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

No more worries about hauling supplies now!

Hunt again?

Hunting is too inefficient, and the risks are uncontrollable.

We need to start farming. The target is German roaches.

Now we have to raise them like pigs?!

But they run as fast as sports cars, and their shells are impenetrable.

How much catnip ball residue is left?

Enough. Dilute it with water. It's odorless to cats, but a fatal temptation to insects.

Hey, watch your step! Don't step on the glue, or you won't get out.

How can that stuff be money?

It preserves food and is hard currency.

10 grains gets you a thick cat-hair coat.

What about the supplies we saved up before?

Hey, what do you want to trade?

Boss Chen, I hit today's quota.

Save enough to trade at logistics for new clothes, supplies, and food.

Remember, no freeloaders here, but we won't shortchange anyone.

Uh, handmade. Bow arm's a bent paperclip, string's a rubber band. Range: 500m.

Too expensive. I'll give you two.

Three, no less. This thing can shoot through a cockroach's eye.

Hmm, alright then.

Good for kindling, hey, and leveling tables. Hmph, one grain of salt per book.

What's that?

Boss, what do you sell here?

Interesting. What do you want?

That's the water source!

But it's so far and suspended in mid-air. How do we get across?

Build a water pipeline. Brothers, gather around.

Connect the straws, seal the joints with wrap and double-sided tape, and run the other end to the castle reservoir.

Boss, the span is too wide. The straws will snap in the middle.

Where there's a will, there's a way! Use this as a support. Let's go!

Watch your step, everyone! Don't slip and fall!

These straws are too slippery. We need safety ropes!

He doesn't eat meat. He eats starch and sugar.

He... he actually eats that!

Silverfish feed on carbs. Plant fibers and flour are its food. Keep it fed, and it's our pet.

What do we need it for?

It cleans up after eating. Look, no dust where it crawled.

We're not driving it away. We're hiring it.

Right now, the castle's trash has nowhere to go. Piling it up breeds germs, but this guy is a natural trash grinder.

So we'll dump all our trash here from now on.

It hurts so much!

Infection's deep in the tissue. Get the alcohol and the finest copper needle.

Don't move!

Must cut out the deepest dead flesh!

Zhou Yun, scalpel!

Better he's out. Keep going.

Give him warm water every two hours. The leg is saved. Sister Su, you're amazing!

You worked your ass off all day for just this?

They clean the sewers. It's the worst environment. This is hazard pay.

Cut the crap! You're just biased. Chen Mo wants to play emperor.

Why do they get meat on their first day?

We work our asses off and end up worse than these trash pickers!

This knife: the serrated edge saws wood, the main blade cuts shells.

In this world, fairness isn't equal distribution, but earning what you work for.

Or you can test if your bones are harder than this...

Last episode, we talked about the castle's three tasks: reinforcing walls, gearing up defenses, and taming bug hounds.

We tamed roaches into pack animals, but the black liquid oozing from the sewers foreshadows a bigger storm.

Replay the last minute.

Put it here.

He's still expanding. Look at that black smoke—it's pheromone aerosol.

Zhao Batian is building his strength. The slime has reached the pipes. When that nest fills the sewers...

That's when the swarm will flood this place again.

Got everything?

Boss, let me go with you.

Understood.

I have food and water here. Take me with you.

Alright, we'll be back safe and sound within three days.

Oh my god, what the hell is this?

It's hard to move an inch!

Take my sword!

It won't pierce! It's too slippery!

Switch to a utility knife, close combat.

The oil is a divine blessing, blades can't cut it.

Ah, ah, ah! Boss, what do we do?

Let me think.

What is the ball afraid of?

Boss, the foam is up to our feet!

Damn, I almost turned into soap!

Not over yet. The foam will flood this place. We gotta get out of the bottle!

Good Mimi, come here.

Get in the car! Get in!

It hurts so much!

Hang in there!

It's a first aid kit!

Then what do we do now?

Supplies can be replaced, lives can't.

No, we still need a heat source.

There's gotta be a way, if we can just find fuel.

Boss, are you crazy?

What's the use of it?

It's not like we can eat it.

Looks like there's a notebook here too.

Sept 12, 2006. The experiment failed.

But we ignored the physics of the microscopic world.

If anyone reading this finds that tactical backpack, it holds not just supplies, but unfinished key blueprints.

So I've been carrying the key to all humanity!

This is your dad's work badge? My dad went missing 20 years ago.

We have to find a way out of here.

A needle?

One, two, three!

It's not working!

Not enough force!

Give me the lighter.

It moved! The door moved! Ah! Hurry, get out! Ugh, hah!

What power!

They're Wolverine claws!

Let him adapt to living with the claw blades first.

Training starts tomorrow.

Chen Mo, what if it gets mad and swats us with that claw someday?

With this photon cannon, this Titan beast is completely under our control.

Looks like we can control him forever.

Will Mimi suddenly scratch us?

Looks like Mimi really is a guardian beast now.

The kids aren't afraid of him at all.

To the kids, he's a gentle, giant companion.

What about in the adult world then?

It seems only strength can bring peace. We need more weapons.

We're about to face Zhao Batian's bug swarm.

Ready to test fire!

3, 2, 1, fire!

This cannon looks big, but it's got no punch.

It's a bad seal. The gas leaked from the valve.

Any burrs will affect the trajectory.

Foreman Sun, are these shells enough?

Are the design adjustments done?

And the ammo?

Plus, we wrapped the thumbtacks in alcohol-soaked cloth.

Good, commence the live-fire drill.

Loaded! Fire! Hey! Ah! Yes!

Motor's fixed, propeller replaced, battery fully charged. Ready to fly.

Take off!

Head towards the sewer!

Damn, we're spotted!

Can you locate the crash site?

Assemble a recovery team. Go now! We can't leave the wreckage to Zhao Batian!

Take him out!

They're building weapons up there. Cannons.

This is evolution! This is perfection!

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Feel my will!

I name you Destroyer.

My name doesn't matter. Names don't matter, power does. Ah. Mm.

A sound?

Everyone, get up!

What's happening?

It's a recon unit. They're testing our defenses.

Don't let them report back!

Crossbowmen, fire!

Target dead ahead, punch!

Grapeshot, block the front!

Dad, it's been 20 years. How do I clean up this mess you left?

Otherwise, it could cause spatial distortion.

Jianguo, 10 batteries, but we only have 3.

Looks like we need to start preparing now.

Everyone, come here. I have an announcement.

20 years ago, he led the experiment that shrank us.

He's the one who doomed us.

Uh, this?

But does being scared help?

Can fear stop the bugs?

Because we have guns, weapons, and brains.

Tonight, it'll drink more bug blood.

Plus, we have the Photonic Cannon against the giant bugs. With it, we have the world's strongest weapon.

As long as he's full, no one can breach this city.

Tonight, we don't fight alone. We are forty! Forty people who crawled out of hell!

Dixi, huge swarm of moths from the northwest!

They're drawn to the light! Turn off the lights!

The lights went out again!

Hahahahahaha! Without light, you're all blind!

Don't panic. Light the torches first.

Sun Xiaohao, can the power tower be saved?

Sun Yaohao, how much longer?

Nice work, Xiaohao!

Fourth Aunt!

Are the lights on?

Good. Tell the boss I'm taking a nap.

Little mouse, so what if the lights are on?

Can you stop my army?

Have a taste of a human sauna.

Ah! The power's on!

Fourth Aunt!

Are the lights on?

Good. Tell the boss I'll get some sleep.

Zhao Batian, just you wait!

Little rats, so what if the lights are on?

Can you stop my army?

Time for you to try a human sauna.

Chen Mo leads the survivors to rebuild and grow.

At the crucial moment, Sun Xiaohao risks his life to restore power.

North wall! Roaches are climbing up!

Everyone, concentrate fire on the north wall!

Why are you just standing there?

On alert, plug the gap!

How many can still fight? Anyone who can hold a weapon.

Ah, don't move. Dr. Su said you need to rest.

Is the light still on?

Engineer Sun, the voltage is dropping too fast. If this goes on, the light will go out again.

Help me to the battery.

If I don't, we all die. Help me up.

Wires. Give me the spare wires.

It's too thin. I can't align it.

Sun Guang, what do you need a knife for?

Will he live?

Wait, you're in no condition to leave.

Artillery, target 20 meters ahead of the breach, volley!

Keep firing, don't stop!

Chen Mo, Xiao Hao woke up! He made it!

Still talking tough? I'll tear you apart!

Too weak!

Turret, target him.

Boss Chen, move!

Ahhhhhhh!

Zhao Batian, your time is up!

What are you doing?

Chen Mo, we time-traveled together! We're classmates!

What's going on?

Look at this power. Why refuse it?

Just nod, and we'll rule this world. Humans are too weak.

Chen Mo, wake up! It's an illusion!

See? This is true power. Can that scrap metal compare to this?

But my dad said... your dad...

That loser's experiment ruined everyone. You still believe him?

My dad spent his whole life trying to send people home, not to turn them into bugs. You...

I am your king!

Chen Mo, save me! Save me!

Let's not go over there.

Now, It's just karma.

Ugh, ahhhhh!

It's over.

Is it really over?

Waste is a shame. Let's go see Xiao Hao.

What's going on?

Right, right, oh, no, no!

Turn off the conveyor belt.

Is he really dead?

Then what do we do with this stuff?

Casualties are in. 7 dead, 12 critical, 23 minor. Sun Xiaohao is still unconscious.

How much medicine is left?

Walking wounded, help clear the rubble. Sort and stack any usable materials.

Move the critical to the castle center. Keep them warm with the last cat blankets.

You... you're finally awake!

Are the lights on?

Foreman Sun, the lights are on!

Sort all usable Legos by color and size.

Here you go. Now you'll have someone to play with.

Chen Mo, the air cannon is trapped under the ruins.

Keep it. We might turn it into something useful.

Can the city be rebuilt?

There's still hope.

Get up and have some bug soup.

What are you drawing?

Which one should we use first?

Too thick. Needs to be thinner. Sand it down.

Might need some lubricant.

This is the mechanical hand?

If I can't talk, I'd rather be dead.

Stop shaking! That's the last M1 screw.

Ugh, fine, I'll do it.

It's a pity you don't become a surgeon with those skills.

In the bloody wall battle, Sun Xiaohao severed his arm to save power.

After the battle, they rebuilt their home. Chen Mo built Sun Xiaohao a mechanical arm.

To his new arm!

But there's still a risk of mutation. I need an inhibitor.

The notes say allicin can inhibit abnormal division, but we have no garlic.

The kitchen might have some. There's a spice rack.

I'll go.

Boss, that's just seasoning sauce!

Now we're enhancing everyone.

Does it have side effects?

No pressure to enhance, but only the enhanced go on dangerous missions from now on.

Me first!

Line up, one at a time.

Zhou Yun, get a wet towel to cool them down.

I-I'm Superman! Ha, I can jump this high!

Boss, that's the jumping spider's nest.

Xiaohao, prep the tranquilizer.

Which one do I aim for?

Quick, drag that one away!

Man, this thing is strong!

Huge peppercorn! Just one is enough for a week.

Watch your step. Places like this are crawling with bugs.

It's a spice-loving Gudao Bug! Scatter and surround it!

It's so strong! I almost lost my grip.

Shell it and take the meat. Gudao meat is more tender than roaches.

What's inside this white bottle?

It's pure MSG. Take some back for seasoning or for traps. It's toxic to bugs, too. We're back. Ah!

This is City Base One, do you copy?

This is the Room 602 survivor camp, do you copy?

I repeat, do you copy?

How many of you are there?

I'm Chen Mo, head of City One. How's your situation?

Not good. We're almost out of water and food.

Thank you so much!

That's enough. The balcony isn't too far.

Remember, it's recon, not combat. Hide if you see a bird.

Understood.

It's a whole other world!

I hear something!

Hide behind the flowerpot!

Look, a bird's nest. Go around it, don't get close.

Hahaha, Comrade Chen Mo, we've been waiting for you!

No water or power. Just being alive is good enough.

We found some unopened bottled water.

Give them the supplies.

How can we ever thank you?

Where's your engineer?

Old Li, I'm here.

How long will your batteries last?

How's it going?

Boss, look. A full-size router antenna, 2.4G frequency, perfectly covers the walkie-talkie band.

Just connect their motherboards, and the signal can penetrate at least two walls.

We can contact survivors further away?

If we set this up on the roof and aim it at their building, the success rate is high.

Xiaohao, time to eat.

Hold on, wait a sec. Just one last step.

Ah, done. Now we just need to set up the antenna. Let's go up the tower.

It's too quiet here. Something's off.

There were cockroaches running around last time.

But not a single one today.

A gecko. It just went by.

Don't move. Don't look into its eyes.

Are you from the Chen Base?

Uh, yeah. Uh, come in quick.

They tamed jumping spiders, explored the kitchen, and gathered supplies.

The alliance for the future of miniature humanity begins.

With this flow rate and drop, you only use it for drinking?

To generate electricity!

Do you have any micro motors?

It can charge batteries or power small devices directly.

What materials do we need?

That way it spins evenly when the water rushes through.

Who are you?

Boss, what if they're Zhao Batian's men?

How many months?

Zhou Yun, record her prenatal file.

She's our first pregnant woman. Give her special attention.

Thank you so much!

Can adults learn too?

Haha, it's born! It's a boy, it's a boy!

The biggest threats are mice and geckos.

What's our route?

Is there a reversal program in the computer?

Then what are we waiting for?

Hurry, everyone!

Ah! Chen Mo, save me! Don't move! The more you struggle, the faster you get sucked in!

Where's the hard drive?

Everyone, hurry over there!

Should I unplug the data cable?

Will it work?

Let me try. Starting the main control terminal... It worked!

Please enter the password.

The password should be my dad's birthday. Let's try August 15, 1965.

How long will it take?

Please connect the energy tower and input the coordinates.

What are the coordinates?

How do we get the coordinates?

But our phones are in the castle.

Alright, note down the requirements. Let's go prep and come back tomorrow.

Add 10 more. We have spare batteries.

Use staples as wires?

Where would we get thick copper wire?

Everyone, tomorrow we launch the reversal program.

If it fails, everything might disappear.

So, let's vote!

Boss Chen, it's tough here, but we've built a home.

Do we still have family out there?

Will our houses still be there?

The outside world has sunlight, wind, and the whole Earth. He should see it. Passed unanimously.

How do I turn on the GPS?

Uh, are you ready?

Voltage stable, current stable, everything's normal.

Leave it to me!

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two.

One, zero.

He's really back! Holy crap! He's really back!
