Lu Chen hid in a convenience store to avoid the rain and accidentally touched the stone tablet at the door.
A blood-red number suddenly appeared above his head: "Remaining life span: 7 days."
The inscription flashed "The Stele Eats Yang Shou", and he was forced to become a step burial player, burning his life with every step.
The old player Shen Mo told him: steps can be exchanged for life, but the monument group will swallow up the player's life energy.
Lu Chen found that the step exchange ratio was becoming more and more demanding, so he ran as hard as he could under the seven-day countdown.
On the fifth day, his lifespan reached zero but he did not die. Instead, he glimpsed the dark truth behind the monuments——
It turns out that human beings are just the "living batteries" of advanced civilization, and they are kept in captivity in burial tombs to harvest life energy.
Lu Chen and Shen Mo teamed up to try to destroy the main monument, but it took a thirty-day countdown to activate the main monument.
Shen Mo sacrificed himself to paralyze the regional monument group, and Lu Chen continued his steps and ran towards the main monument.
On the eleventh day, Lu Chen arrived at the main monument. The inscription showed: "Countdown to activation of the main monument: 30 days."
He looked up, and the numbers above his head were beating wildly: "Remaining life span: 0 days."
