The zombie apocalypse was not the end, but the brutal beginning of a new era. Three hundred years later, intelligent zombie clans, beastfolk, and plantfolk each control their own territory, while humanity struggles to survive inside fortresses. Supernatural abilities have become the foundation of power in this new age.
On Awakening Day, 16-year-old Lin Hao quietly unlocks an astonishing chart of every elemental attribute, yet chooses to conceal his strength and pose as an F-rank “good-for-nothing.” Only his five closest friends, who have risked their lives for one another, sense the raging storm beneath his calm gaze. The “seeds of civilization” from the old world whisper in his mind, guiding him down a path no one has taken before.
From campus trials to wilderness survival, from choices after graduation to bloody battles on the front lines. The six members of the Gear Squad stand as one, using humor to fight despair and resolve to face powerful foes. They cultivate no immortality, explore no stars, wield no mystical powers, and are no invincible heroes. All they have are the abilities they hold in their hands. Treading over their enemies’ corpses, they will fight their way through this broken world to carve out a future for humanity!
This is an epic tale of growth, trust, war, and protection. Watch as these young people, mortal in body, stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods and rekindle the flame of civilization!
