To find his kidnapped sister, Ling Shuang, Ling Chen goes from an ordinary tuner struggling to survive to being forced onto a thorny path of direct confrontation with the ark of the megacorporation Pan Shi Industries.

The wasteland era, 150 years after the “Great Collapse”:

The world wasn’t destroyed by nuclear war, but by an apocalypse known as the “Technological Singularity War.” In the mid-22nd century, global megacorporations waged a silent war to seize ultimate control of “super artificial intelligence” (SAI). Their ultimate weapon was a self-replicating swarm of nanobots that devoured specific metals and silicon-based materials: the “Grey Tide.”

The Grey Tide spiraled out of control. In ten years, it consumed 90% of the world’s urban infrastructure, transportation networks, and high-tech equipment, reducing them to useless powder known as “rust sand.” The surface of the earth was permanently transformed into vast “steel ruins” and “crawling lands,” polluted by the Grey Tide and periodically “reactivated.”
