Chinese Title: Wo Jiao Bai Xiaofei
Alternate Title: Shi Xiong Season 2, Zombie Brother Season 2
Original Manhua Creator: Qi Du Yu 七度鱼

Synopsis: Bai Xiaofei lived a dull, boring life. That all changes when, on his way to find his girlfriend, he meets a mutant with unprecedented power. As an ordinary human being, Xiaofei felt totally out of his depth; there was no way he could defeat powerful enemies and track down the cause of these strange mutations. After giving himself a shot of body enhancer bought online, however, he gradually reaches his potential.

Some things I have to rant about for this episode is the unnecessary changes made by Haoliners  in this episode (and some previous ones). If you know Chinese, you probably thought a couple of details were translated completely wrong (Outside of some things I missed anyway) and I'll explain myself here:
1."Mohawk" Here, when Bai Xiaofei speaks to the chief in the Chinese dialogue, describing the man he met, he makes no mention of a mohawk, just white hair. What he is referring to is the man he met in Episodes 14 and 15 of this series... who had white hair in the original manhua. For who knows what reason, that man's hair was changed to brown in the show and yet this description was left intact. You can even see a caricature of him with white hair when Xiaofei thinks about him. A caricature that shouldn't be because he didn't have white hair in this show. Incidentally, we later learn the chief is that man's older brother and guess what? The chief had white hair in the manhua as well. 
2."Xiaobai" Anyone paying close attention to the dialogue would realize that what the chief actually said was "Xiaolu". Anyone who then pays attention to the Chinese words during this line would realize that the "lu" is a different one than the one that makes up the name of everyone's favorite giraffe costumed loli. This is yet another change from the Manhua. In the manhua, that mohawk dude was called "Xiaobai". Perhaps because they realized that he no longer has white hair so calling him Bai 白 meaning white would make little sense, or perhaps they didn't want anyone to confuse him for our main character Bai Xiaofei, they changed it to "Xiaolu". Ironically, Xiaolu (The giraffe costumed loli) actually returns in this episode, so all they've done is make things more confusing, even if the two "Lu"s used in their names are different.   
It might not be professional to subtitle the  dialogue different from what is actually being said, but if it facilitates understanding the situation unfolding on the screen that is ruined by the adaptation itself, I don't really care.
