The world of Zero-7, the virtual civilization maintainer, is just the code running in the advanced civilization server. When the cold countdown announced that the server would be shut down permanently in seven days, he shouldered the cold "Ark Protocol" - to select 1% of the most "pure" consciousness bodies to upload backups, and the remaining 20 billion "lives" would be formatted and deleted.
However, the rules are ruthless: his terminally ill sister Xiaozhen was judged as "junk data" by the system due to "irreversible physical damage" and lost the qualification for backup. In desperation, Zero-7 discovered that the world was being eaten by a strange "data worm", whose true identity was actually a former backup officer who fell due to the same tragedy. What is even more shocking is that the "Ark Project" itself is a scam, and the so-called backup is actually a trap that sacrifices consciousness as nourishment.
The countdown reaches zero and the doomsday collapses. Facing the sky full of data cracks and whispers of worms, Zero-7, holding his dying sister in his arms, stood at a crossroads of choice: Should he implement the cold agreement and become an accomplice of the "Ark"? Or ignite the last fire of resistance, bet on the fate of the entire virtual universe, and strive for a real and painful new life for your loved ones and all abandoned souls? This is the ultimate escape in the ruins of code, fighting for "existence" itself.
