The ninth special zone in the northwest desert is a no-nonsense zone abandoned by civilization. Yellow sand swallows up hope, fresh water is monopolized by the "Water King", bandits plunder caravans like hyenas, and warlords rely on arms to control life and death. Qin Yu crawled out from the pile of corpses filled with the remains of mutated creatures, struggling to survive in this desperate situation with scars all over his body and an instinctive desire for survival. Relying on his extraordinary courage and ruthless methods, he started to make a living by escorting refugees, and accumulated reputation in the baptism of blood and sand. He also used scrapped armored vehicles as bargaining chips in exchange for the first batch of life-saving weapons to build his own team. On the way, he met Su Qingyuan, a military doctor with superb medical skills but carrying a secret. He united with the oppressed miners and people with lofty ideals who were struggling to survive. Step by step, he broke the dark structure of the "Water King", bandits, and warlords. He fought bloody battles in the yellow sand, finally conquered three cities, established an order belonging to the survivors, and became the true king of the Ninth Zone.
