In 2188, an era when human consciousness can be uploaded in batches to the "Cloud Oasis", the real world has become a "Rust Zone" with depleted resources. 19-Year-old Lin Ye is a rare "data rejecter" - his consciousness cannot connect to the cloud, and he can only pick up relics of the old era in abandoned cities as an "aboriginal person". By accident, he discovered that the "backdoor key" of the cloud system was hidden in the old mobile phone left by his grandmother, and the key pointed to the first-generation cloud consciousness database that was officially declared "destroyed due to technical failure."
At the same time, Su Wan, the "perfect resident" of the cloud oasis, caught a glimpse of the ruins of the real world during a system fluctuation, and became suspicious of "false immortality". The two are connected by an interdimensional data storm. On one side are the "Scavenger" troops who are chasing Lin Ye in reality, and on the other side are the "administrators" in the cloud who are trying to cover up the truth. They are forced to work together to uncover the ultimate secret: the so-called "consciousness uploading" is nothing more than a scam used by the powerful to filter and harvest human spiritual energy, and Lin Ye's "data-repelling" physique is the only key to breaking this scam. Caught between virtuality and reality, they have to fight not only the huge technological oligarchs, but also countless "cloud prisoners" who are addicted to false immortality and unwilling to wake up.
