As suspicions and disputes between countries continued to escalate, World War III broke out. Countries have used a large number of nuclear weapons, causing a global nuclear winter and the near collapse of civilization. National governments disintegrate and are replaced by "consortiums" based on technology, force, and resource control. After nuclear winter, radiation and mutated animals and plants have become the norm, and the human living environment has extremely deteriorated.
In order to deal with the threat of mutation, humans have developed "genetic medicines". People who gain supernormal abilities through genetic awakening are called "gene warriors." They became the core force of the consortium to maintain order and explore the wilderness.
The protagonist Guo Yue was originally a wilderness hunter struggling at the bottom of Area B. His true identity is Yang Haoguang, a former special researcher who escaped from HDTUR (High-Danger Technology & Unstable Research) three years ago. He suffers from a rare organ failure disease (caused by the A8JS-W cell virus) and must rely on genetic drugs to maintain his life. During a hunting mission, he met Mr. Jian, who was rough in appearance but soft in heart, and was gradually involved in a huge conspiracy involving consortiums, mysterious organizations and unknown mutant creatures...
