Under the heavy pressure of climate change and resource depletion, civilization gradually collapsed, and the world fell into chaos and despair. The protagonist Zhang Yi, a former environmental scientist, led his family and a group of survivors to escape Shanghai and went to an abandoned research base in the mountains of Yunnan to try to find a new way to survive.
Zhang Yi did not give up when faced with conflicts within the survivors, threats from outside gangsters, and extremely harsh environments. He discovered a genetically modified plant that could rebuild the ecology, and ventured to Nanjing to obtain experimental materials, struggling to find hope among the ruins.
With the divisions among survivors, the formation of communities of interests, and the constant threats from hostile forces, Zhang Yi and his team fought tenaciously in despair and continued to find the possibility of survival through their own efforts. The plants that grew again around the base became a symbol of new life, inspiring all survivors to continue their struggle.
This is a story about human perseverance in extreme environments, finding hope through struggle and rebuilding their homes. In the devastated ruins of the apocalypse, Zhang Yi and his companions proved with their actions that as long as there are seeds of hope, a road to a better future can be paved for the next generation.
