About This Novel

The doomsday twilight of AD 3026 was no accident. After centuries of resource depletion, ocean acidification, and continents turning into yellow sand, humans still firmly believe that technology can override the laws of nature. The explosion in the Alamos laboratory is not the starting point, but the final chapter of the Age of Pride - a virus called "Cherubim" flows out of the broken petri dish. It is not an alien enemy, but a curse written by humans themselves. Wherever the virus goes, creatures transform into new creatures. They imitated, learned, reorganized, established a collaborative network that was completely different from human society, and whispered to their former masters: "We are the answer to natural selection." Among the ruins of Karlsburg, Lieutenant Colonel Lucien Zephyr faced not only a war of survival, but also a trial. When those groups born from human bodies approach step by step with tougher bodies, shared consciousness, and amazing adaptability to the ecosystem, he must answer: After humans have used technology to usurp the power of the Creator and used greed to eat up the world, what qualifications do humans have to call themselves "civilization"? Why does the civilization that pushed the earth into a sickbed claim to be "human"? How do we fight against the more "successful" successors who seem to grow out of our deepest sins? This book is not a prophecy, but a reflection. When the last Eden turns into scorched earth in our hands, it is not the virus that is hypocritical, but the race that claims to be the master of the earth but cannot even survive its homeland. The time to cross the river has arrived, and what awaits on the other side may be the awe itself that we buried with our own hands.
