Ark on the Angry Sea: The Sunken Age

A global earthquake codenamed “Rift” tears open the crust, violently reshaping the planet’s major tectonic plates in just seventy-two hours. The Himalayas sink into the Mariana Trench, the Amazon Basin becomes a saltwater swamp, and the raging oceans devour ninety percent of the land. When disaster strikes, Lu Chen, a former deep-sea fishing captain, forcibly starts up the modified Cangming. With geologist Su Qing, mechanic Lao Jin, intern doctor Lin Xiaoman, and other survivors aboard, the ship becomes a “moving island” adrift among the shattered waves.

They must battle “rogue waves” capable of capsizing ten-thousand-ton ships and mutated deep-sea squid that stalk vessels, while searching for the new land rumored to have emerged along a “tectonic suture zone” before their fuel runs out. The strange signals that occasionally flash across the geological detector on Su Qing’s wrist, the nameless currents suddenly appearing on Lu Chen’s nautical charts, and the intermittent distress calls over the radio all hint that something more terrifying than the sinking may lie behind the disaster.
