When the lights of civilization go out in the "grey fog" and the world becomes a ruin where aberrations are rampant, survival is the only rule. Su Qing, the former sous chef at a Michelin restaurant, awakened a mysterious ability called the [Gourmet System] in a desperate situation.
It's not just cooking.
The polluted water source turned into a sweet spring in her hands; the mutated flesh and blood full of toxins, cooked by her, became a miraculous delicacy that could heal pain and give strength.
She met Lu Cheng, a former special soldier who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was cold and pragmatic, and regarded her delicious food as an unrealistic romance in the apocalypse. However, when a bowl of hot soup dispelled the coldness of the long night, and when a piece of barbecue ignited the extinguished courage, he became her most solid support.
From abandoned supermarkets to impregnable shelters, they use spatulas, knives and guns to fight against bloodthirsty monsters, and against human hearts that are more greedy than monsters.
However, when the secrets of the system and the truth about the "grey fog" gradually surfaced, a huge organization called "Ark" extended an olive branch to her - should she choose a comfortable prison, or stick to the freedom and hope in the ashes?
This is not a simple survival story, it is an epic about reshaping civilization in barbarism and awakening humanity with taste buds. Everything starts with that bowl of hot soup that brings hope.
