Lin Mo, a technical backbone who suddenly died during 996 overtime, woke up in the cold data debris. The place of rebirth is the C-73 ruins filled with radiation dust and wandering mutant monsters - the cemetery of civilization after the cataclysm. Hunger, weakness, and radiation sickness that penetrated into the bone marrow were a cruel start, and the social experience honed in the previous life became the only weapon.
In this steel hell composed of twisted server skeletons, he struggled to survive, accidentally touched the free "spiritual energy", and awakened the strange "cyberling root". With quick wits and corroded steel bars, he defeated the first radiation scorpion made of steel and flesh. However, before the breath of victory was undecided, a heartbeat as heavy as a giant engine could be heard from deep in the ruins.
This heartbeat is the terrifying echo of sleep, the indescribable whisper of Cthulhu. From an ant in the ruins of data to a chess player dealing with the cyber-immortal sect and the machinations of the apocalyptic empire, Lin Mo's journey is to use the code thinking of the past life to reconstruct the immortal method, and to build a firewall with the mortal mind to fight against the shadow of the ancient god that will eventually swallow reality. This is a survival war launched against the indescribable with passion and logic in the heartbeat era.
