In the year 2177 of the New Calendar, in the wasteland, the scavenger Ling Lie accidentally picked up an "iron coffin" that fell from the future during a mission. The woman Xiyue who walked out of the coffin claimed to be from 2345 and was a space-time observer. Her appearance broke Ling Lie's daily routine of struggling to survive on the edge of Ash City.
The Lord of Iron Hand City coveted Xiyue's future technology and led his pursuers to force the two into a desperate situation. From the conspiracy in the City of Ashes to the terrifying mutant beasts in the Death Gobi, from the spark of civilization in the underground "Forgotten Land" to the confrontation with mechanical cyborgs, Ling Lie and Xiyue fought side by side under the cruel laws of the wasteland. When future technology collides with wasteland survival, and when a spark of trust ignites in the doomsday desperate situation, can they escape pursuit and ignite the new light of humanity in this scorched land?
