In 2350, civilization huddled within huge fortress cities, and the world outside the city was an endless wasteland full of radiation, mutated monsters, and lost technology. Jiang Chenyu, a scavenger living at the bottom of the city, struggles to survive in order to earn medical expenses for his seriously ill sister. During a dangerous scavenging operation, when he was on the verge of death, he accidentally activated a mysterious nano-core in his body. This core gives him the ability to analyze, deconstruct and absorb any technology and life form, allowing him to evolve infinitely. From a rusty iron pipe to a high-tech electromagnetic gun, from an ordinary mutant rat to a terrifying Alpha-level predator, everything has become his stepping stone to the top of power. As he rises, he gradually uncovers the conspiracy shrouding the city's powerful and the truth about the end of the world. This is the story of an unknown person who crawled out from the scrap heap and finally stood on the waste land, overlooking all living beings.
