When the "spiritual weapons" of alien civilization penetrate the atmosphere, human reason shatters like a glass curtain wall. 90% Of the people were reduced to crazy puppets in the scarlet aurora, and the city was reduced to roaring ruins. Only a few people relied on iron willpower to survive on the ruins of consciousness. Neuroscientist Lin Xia could hear the crisp sound of her own neurons bursting, but she stayed awake amidst her daughter's last cry for help; former special forces soldier Lu Chen survived in a pool of blood where his comrades killed each other, and the bullets in the gun chamber were only left for protection. They met in a desperate wasteland, taking a group of remaining "awake people" with them to follow the broken clues flashing deep in their brains to find a way to resist mental pollution. This is not a war of guns, but a struggle between consciousness and the abyss - when alien civilizations try to format the human soul, they must prove that love and willpower are the hardest substances in the universe.
