The world changes overnight, and everyone is thrown into the same survival trial.
While others start with fortresses, Lin Yan gets a ramshackle wooden hut with gaps on every side, ready to collapse at any moment. There's no water, medicine is running out, and nocturnal beasts surround the door. Even surviving the first night seems like a pipe dream.
Relying on his uncanny instinct for structures and traps, he starts by “holding on to a single house” and forcibly carves out a path to survival: fortifying the defenses, seizing control of the water supply, securing fuel, and forming a night watch team. Between the foggy forest and the rusted city, he establishes the first network of mutual protection.
But when the “North Well Water-Control System” comes to light, Lin Yan realizes that the real enemy isn't the monsters, but the people who turn survival into a business.
Resource wars, rule wars, and faction wars erupt one after another. This time, he must protect more than just his wooden hut. He must defend an order that allows people to go on living like people.
