In 2199, the nuclear-war wasteland is divided by neon and rust. The God-Creation Society raises the banner of “purification,” hunting down superpowered “mutants” with mechanical hounds and nerve gas. The “Purification Day” coming in three days will spell the end of the entire city.
Lin Ye is reborn in the searing pain of rebar piercing his body. His prosthetic left eye still carries the phantom pain of being burned through by a laser, and the fluorescent blue blood of his sister, Lin Xi, still burns in his memories. This time, with a 72-hour countdown in hand and the power to control electricity, he returns to the neon alleys. He must rescue Lin Xi from the “Correction Center,” team up with the scavenger boy A Kai and the holographic information broker Night Cat, steal the God-Creation Society’s operational data, and crawl through the toxic-water-filled pipes of the old world to face the hunter “Crow,” who once killed him with his own hands.
In the neon-lit underground passages, electricity clashes with electromagnetic blades, showering sparks. Outside the God-Creation Society’s silver-white encampment, holographic illusions conceal deadly ambushes. This is no simple tale of rebirth and redemption. When mutants’ powers collide with the cold machinery of cybernetics, and personal obsessions run up against the hope of humanity’s survival, Lin Ye must tear apart the God-Creation Society’s lie of “purity” before the apocalypse arrives and rekindle the light of resistance across the wasteland.
