The earth did not die from war, but from a quiet "infection".
Unknown silicon-based spores fell into the atmosphere, triggering the terrifying "earth crystallization." Purple deadly crystal clusters swallowed the city, twisted electromagnetic storms tore the sky, and the infected creatures turned into terrifying "crystal phagocytes" that only knew how to sow seeds. Civilization collapses, and humanity struggles to survive in a gorgeous and deadly wasteland.
Lin Zhou, a former astrobiologist, may be the only person who can read the "language" of this apocalypse. He knew very well that killing could not end the disaster, and the only hope was hidden in the "Pit Zero" where the spores first hit. With heavy guilt and the obsession of a scientist, he only lives to record and find answers.
A deadly crystal dust storm forced him, the violent mechanic Keira, and the silent military doctor Lao Chen into a hidden valley. There, they discovered a treasure that could change the world—an intact doomsday armory with unlimited energy and advanced weapons.
Strength follows. New Hope Sanctuary quickly rose with these resources and became the pearl of the wasteland. But power also attracts the most greedy peeps.
The "Furnace Gang" warlords who believe in the law of the jungle vow to take this power as their own; the "Pure Land Cult" fanatics who regard crystals as divine bodies and technology as blasphemy launch a holy war to completely purify this "Steel Tomb".
The alien ecology is pressing ahead, and humans are behind.
