Return to the Lab

A temporary research mode. You fly across the lab's floor-maps («Ground Zero Ruins», «Winter Frontier» and beyond), spend energy to move and catch zombie genomes — from weaklings to overlords and chests — with normal and upgraded capture orbs. Catches per run are limited; the deeper the floor, the more valuable the loot. Caught genomes are broken down into skill fragments.

Operation Lightning

A scouting board in the fog: one Sharp Eye uncovers one cell of a 5×6 grid. Somewhere on it sits a vault — dig it out whole, then click it up to three times for a rarity upgrade, since the richer tier draws from a better pool. A missile clears its entire row AND column at once and chains into other missiles, which is why layers that carry one cost less than layers that do not. Claim the vault and a parachute takes its place, leading to the next layer.

Decisive Battle

A five-floor lottery tower. A draw costs 1 · 2 · 5 · 10 Assault Decryptors as you climb, and either pays a consolation prize or promotes you a floor. Promotion does not run on the weight the pool advertises but on a guarantee ladder: the chance rises with every draw spent on that floor and hits 100 % on the last one. Floor five is free — it hands over the grand prize you picked in advance, then the tower resets, and the best of its 24 prizes open only once enough rounds are behind you.

Genome Boost

A race on gene awakening: everything the event pays out is keyed to one counter — how many awakenings you have rolled. It drives five parts of stage tasks and a top-100 board, while the battle pass levels on stamina spent instead. The event pays in the very currency it runs on: Gene Awakening Cards.
