In 2077, the "Global Survival Live Broadcast" suddenly airborne on all human terminals, and 1 million randomly selected "challengers" were thrown into the doomsday wasteland full of alien beasts and radiation. Their every moment of struggle was watched, ridiculed, and bet by billions of people - and Lin Ye was the unlucky guy who was labeled as the "waste rich second generation" and started with only a rusty kitchen knife.
At first, the audience watched him climb a tree after being chased by wild dogs, laughed at him for not being able to grab expired cans, and scolded him for "taking up quota and wasting resources." But later, when Lin Ye used a kitchen knife to smash the skulls of level three alien beasts, grow out-of-season vegetables in the radiation zone, and even dug out the technological core of prehistoric civilizations from the ruins, the entire network suddenly fell silent.
What makes the world even crazier is the "truth about the wasteland" that Lin Ye accidentally exposed during the live broadcast: those creatures called "alien beasts" are actually failed products of human genetic experiments; the so-called "doomsday" is a scam created by the top forces to screen slaves; and the "safe zone" that the audience relies on to survive is nothing more than a giant cage in which they are kept.
When Lin Ye led the tens of millions of fans who had awakened in the live broadcast room and rushed to the gate of the safe zone with the fire of civilization in hand, he discovered that this survival game was never about surviving, but about overturning the entire disguised world - "From today on, you are either free or you die together."
