In 2065, under the scarlet dome of the Magic City Biosphere, the consequences of gene editing have penetrated every inch of the land. Li Yixia's protective boots ran over the crystal cluster-studded street, and the wrist detector was emitting a harsh chirp - she had been looking for her sister Li Yiqiu for seventeen years. At this moment, the neural synchronization rate was stuck at the fatal critical point of 79.3%. The former genetic engineer knew that when the live vaccine completely failed, Li Yiqiu would become the last piece of the Pandora virus's evolutionary puzzle.
Twenty years ago, the "Moonlight Plague" tore apart human civilization. The virus leaked from his father Li Xinghua's laboratory transformed the infected person's bones into quantum zombies, mutating opponents into light-eating orcs that lurk day and night. The black capsule Li Yixia carries is not only the key to opening the underground river of 100,000 frozen embryos, but also the fatal switch that detonates the civilization filter.
In the ashes of Sky City's fall, Li Yixia was forced to face the bloody truth: her father's gene lock system had already transformed their sisters into living sacrifices, the cloud consciousness library of new humans was being eroded by the hive mind of zombies, and the orc shaman knocked on the ancestral soul computer made of human skulls, trying to crack the ultimate code for the restart of civilization. When a clone with a genetic similarity of 99.8% To hers emerged from the bottom of the Huangpu River, Li Yixia finally understood that this war has never been about survival, but about determining what kind of life deserves to be called "human".
