In 2149, the "Crimson Haze" swept across the globe. Once-thriving cities became ruins, while half-mechanical "bone-eating worms" and mutated "iron corpses" ravaged the land, bringing human civilization to the brink of extinction. Lin Ye, once an ace sniper in the special forces, lost both his comrades and his younger sister when the haze erupted. With only Monkey, a young survivor, by his side, he struggled to stay alive among the ruins of Bohai Bay. His sole hope was to find the legendary "Azure Dome Base," supposedly untouched by the haze.
During a chance battle over a source core, Lin Ye crossed paths with Su Qing, a female doctor who possessed a mysterious "biological coding" ability. The half of a bronze plaque in her possession fit perfectly with a keepsake from his sister that he always carried. The two joined forces, but accidentally activated a holographic map hidden in the plaque. They discovered that the "Crimson Haze" was no natural disaster, but a "purification program" left behind by a prehistoric alien civilization, and that the "source core genes" hidden within humanity were the key to fighting it.
From Bohai Bay to the deserts of the Western Regions, from deep-sea ruins to floating cities in the sky, Lin Ye's team evaded the pursuit of the "Haze Council" while awakening more people with source core genes. But when they finally reached the Azure Dome Base, they uncovered an even more brutal truth: this so-called "purification" was actually a scheme by the alien civilization to select new Hosts, and Lin Ye's sister had long since become the scheme's central vessel.
Faced with a choice between humanity and survival, Lin Ye grips his armor-piercing rifle. Millions of human survivors stand behind him, while an alien force capable of destroying the world lies before him. The ultimate battle for the survival of human civilization is about to begin.
