Under the shadow of a new Cold War in 2077, the quantum AI of Project Dawn spiraled out of control, a genetic weapon leaked, and the zombie virus ravaged the globe, plunging the world into an apocalyptic nightmare.
Lin Yu, a construction engineer in Binhai City, led workers in a desperate struggle to survive a zombie siege. Determined to establish a quarantine zone for the living and bring hope to the survivors, he soon found the task anything but easy. He had to contend not only with terrifying zombies that were photosensitive and possessed a collective intelligence, but also with the various factions vying for power.
The White Tower Alliance ruled through an elite regime from its base in the Shanghai Tower. The Earthfire Cult occupied Chongqing's subway network and was obsessed with human modification. The Children of Azure held the Qingdao nuclear submarine base and pursued genetic enhancement. The Forgotten held fast to the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, believing in the murals' prophecies.
Meanwhile, a quantum black box hidden deep within Antarctica's 13th Quarantine Zone held a secret crucial to humanity's fate. Can Lin Yu and his companions uncover the black box's secret amid countless dangers, break free of the apocalypse, and rebuild a hopeful home for humanity?
