In the post-catastrophic world, the surviving humans huddle in the high-walled fortress city "Ark Seven", while the wasteland outside the wall is occupied by genetically mutated horrific creatures called "Aberrations". Ling Chen is a "purifier" who relies on courage and luck to scavenge in the ruins. His job is to recycle technological relics from the old era in exchange for resources for survival.
During a routine scavenging mission, Ling Chen accidentally discovered a biological sample jar from a top-secret laboratory before the disaster. This humble discovery made him the target of public criticism. Inside the city, the all-powerful giant "Aegis Corporation" sent ruthless executives to silence him and cover up the truth of history; outside the city, an unprecedented new type of aberration with high intelligence seemed to be attracted by the smell of the sample can, and began to pursue him persistently.
Overnight, Ling Chen changed from a scavenger struggling to survive to a fugitive holding the secrets of the world. With the help of his old partner "Old K" and the intervention of a mysterious woman, Ling Chen was forced to embark on a desperate road to uncover the origin of the disaster. He must survive the double pursuit of humans and non-humans, and figure out whether the "Pandora's Box" in his hand contains the destruction or rebirth of the world.
