On the day gravity spiraled out of control worldwide, physicist Chen Xiao gained a monstrous ability: quantum simulation.
In 0.3 seconds, he can simulate 137 escape routes with 99.97% accuracy.
Others see a jumble of gibberish. He sees the patterns of energy flow.
A fiendbeast lunges at him? Predict its path and kill it with one strike.
An Entropy Descendant fleet arrives? Simulate its weaknesses and destroy it in one hit.
But what really gives him a headache isn't the alien monsters. It's the 1,200 survivors behind him, waiting for him to lead the way.
“Your brain's more dangerous than a bullet,” Timur says.
“You're not a machine. You're human,” Su Qing says.
“Zero” says, “You're Seed Number Seven, and the most important one.”
He doesn't know what “seed” means. He only knows one thing: in 23 hours, that piece of metal will pierce his artery.
Before then, he has to make it to the Longmen Mountains alive.
