In the apocalypse shrouded in the "Scarlet Mist", survivors huddled in cold steel fortresses, following the law of the jungle.
Chen Feng, a waste picker in Xiacheng District, was once a top data engineer in the old days. Now his only belief is to protect his terminally ill daughter.
When conventional medicine fails, the only hope points to the forbidden place outside the fortress. For that glimmer of hope, he had to regain his forgotten edge.
In this journey where life is a bet, the sleeping superpower unexpectedly awakens.
When the "underlying code" of the world slowly unfolds before his eyes, when the weaknesses and laws of all things are revealed -
How will a man who can "read" doomsday data subvert this desperate era?
From saving one person to saving a city.
He will use the code in his hand to restart a new era for this scarlet world.
