[A cast of villains + post-apocalyptic survival + alliances and intrigue]
Other people’s apocalypse: dodge zombies, scavenge for trash, and choke down expired canned food.
Ling Zhan’s apocalypse: dismantle giant robots, build turrets, and tile his mobile base... Actually, no, armor it with mutated giant crab alloy!
He has a versatile mobile factory that unlocks high-tech blueprints by devouring things.
Make a steel knife out of rusty sheet metal? Too lame!
Use giant crab pincers to make an armor-piercing hammer! Turn acid spores into a spray cannon! Power it with a geothermal core, then take to the skies with an antigravity module!
When the raiders come barreling over in beat-up trucks, they see Ling Zhan’s heavily armed mobile steel fortress, which keeps growing bigger, and slam on the brakes.
“Boss, it’s a misunderstanding! We... we just came to ask for directions!”
Ling Zhan: “Directions? Sure. First hand over that scrap metal you’re carrying.”
