In 2025, a mysterious virus infiltrated the Donghai City nuclear power plant, triggering a chain fission reaction. Blue radioactive clouds carrying cross-species mutant genes swept across the globe. Animals, insects, and even humans mutated under the radiation: zombies lost their minds but gained superhuman bodies, while some infected individuals evolved intelligence and could even control mutant creatures to form armies. Meanwhile, astrophysicists discovered that the nuclear accident had opened a spatial rift, and that the radioactive clouds concealed a selection mechanism created by an alien civilization. Only civilizations that passed the test of “mutant evolution” would earn the right to survive among the stars.
Amid this apocalyptic catastrophe, engineer Lin Shen, biologist Su Qing, and astrophysicist Chen Mo form a core team. They fight zombies and extremist human factions while uncovering the ultimate secret behind the radioactive mutations. Gradually, they discover that all the disasters stem from humanity's obsession with “perfect genes,” and that true salvation may lie in coexisting with mutant creatures.
