He fell from the blood and fire of 2077 back into his own laboratory, thirty years earlier.
Facing the peaceful year of 2047, Lin Ye knew he was a walking spoiler. The spark that would ignite World War III and the countdown to the resource-depleted apocalypse were both buzzing in his head.
Should he shoulder every secret alone, stumbling forward in solitude amid misunderstanding?
Or gather a band of “unreliable” teammates and forcibly overturn the wheels of history?
He chose the latter.
From the start, he woke a genius programmer with a cup of coffee to the face, then used a set of “fake parameters” to blow up a foreign spy lab on the spot.
Deep in the mountains of the southwest, he discovered that the enemy wasn’t secretly mining rare earths, but a kind of “living mineral” that could grow on its own and devour everything!
Tracking the trail across borders to the African rainforest, he witnessed a mad scientist injecting strange green liquid into a river, contaminating an entire mining region...
His teammates complained that he was always making jokes about the future, like an early sign of dementia.
His enemies saw him as an abyssal variable that had to be erased.
But Lin Ye simply gripped the fragments of memory from the future in his hand and watched the companions gradually gathering around him:
A sharp-tongued but patriotic tech nerd heroine, and a directionally challenged but formidable retired soldier.
From the core code of the laboratory to resource wars raging thousands of miles away, they used the wisdom of their time to fight the shadows of the future.
When the “players” hidden behind the global chessboard finally revealed themselves,
when the treasures sleeping beneath the East China Sea drew the covetous attention of many sides,
Lin Ye knew the final battle was no longer just a struggle over resources.
It was the alliance of a lonely prophet and the wise of the present, the rebellion of the dead from the future against a fate already set in stone.
At the fold in time, they would restart an era without war, for Huaxia and for all humanity.
