Ashes of the Apocalypse: Companions tells the story of Lin Mo, a reborn survivor who returns to the world with an apocalypse survival System before the "Crimson Mist" descends.
Five years of struggling through the apocalypse taught him what it meant to watch humanity die and civilization collapse. This time, armed with memories of his past life and the head start granted by his System, he is determined to change his fate. His first priority is finding Su Qingyuan, the girl who fought by his side in his previous life and ultimately sacrificed herself: a medical student who carved a path through the apocalypse with a fire axe.
With 72 hours left on the countdown to the Crimson Mist, Lin Mo races to stockpile supplies and shore up defenses. More importantly, he must protect Su Qingyuan before she experiences the coming hell. When crimson fog swallows the world and mutated monsters roar as they trample peace underfoot, he is no longer struggling alone.
The System’s missions point the way forward, and his past-life experience helps him avoid hidden dangers. Amid the ruins, Lin Mo and Su Qingyuan will be each other’s armor; as resources run scarce, they will hold fast to their principles. Faced with choices between humanity and survival, they will forge a way through the apocalypse together. The meaning of having a companion is this: even atop the ashes, you still dare to believe in the light in each other’s eyes.
