Humanity used the "Ark of Creation" to create a virtual paradise, but it drained the foundation of reality and triggered a data storm that tore the world apart. The city has turned into a cemetery, and only the metal ark carrying tens of billions of souls hangs high in the sky, playing the funeral song of civilization.
Chen Mo was burdened with a double tragedy: his sister Chen Xi was addicted to the Ark and withered to death, and his lover Su Wan died after typing out the Morse code of "live" while suffering from radiation sickness. Incarnated as a lone wolf in the ruins, he met the mysterious technical expert Su Zhe on his way out. Under the harsh rules of survival, the two formed a life-and-death alliance, gathering hacker Old K and veteran Lei Zhen to embark on a desperate road to destroy the Ark.
The blood-stained journey became the epitaph of the martyr: Old K's consciousness was torn apart by the torrent of data, and Lei Zhen built a wall with flesh and blood. When Su Zhe broke into the "zero point" at the core of the Ark to protect Chen Mo, and eventually died in his arms, Chen Mo's road to redemption was filled with loneliness.
Faced with the verdict of the creator Lu Xun that "the Ark is evolution", Chen Mo witnessed the ultimate truth - the upload rate of human consciousness is 99.99%, And the collapse of reality is irreversible. He sat alone in the ruins of civilization, looking up at the ark rising into the deep sky like a tombstone, while the earth beneath his feet turned into dust inch by inch.
