The Fog-Devouring Ark: Civilization Experiment No. 127
When Earth becomes the testing ground of an alien civilization, every human extinction is a countdown to a restart.
In 2075, a neurological fog blankets the globe. Trapped in a desperate situation, Su Li and Lu Ran, who possesses a mysterious spatial System, uncover the horrifying truth behind the fog: the fog-devouring mycelium is a genetic weapon created by an alien civilization, while the Earth's core heating up, world-ending acid rain, and AI rebellion are all brutal stages of the 127th civilization-selection experiment.
As doomsday crises escalate, humanity builds defenses with technology and flesh and blood: from mycelium-proof gas masks to quantum-suspended cities, from vertical farms to ecological arks. Every breakthrough comes at a terrible cost. But the alien harvesters' shadow is never far away, and Earth is swallowed up, reduced to a line of code in a cosmic database.
When Lu Ran pilots a starship into the core of the mothership and Su Li inscribes human consciousness into the river of photons, can they break the cycle? Beneath the Antarctic ice, monitoring logs are coldly recording the start of a new cycle. This time, the survivors' pupils already flicker with the inscription of rebellion.
