Seven years after the quantum furnace exploded, the world became a prison of radiation.
Lu Yan is just a clan member struggling to survive in the seventh mine. He works every day just in exchange for the survival potion of his sister Lu Yun. Until he discovered the notes left by his father and learned that the blue "liquid" that sustains life is actually a shackle designed by the Federation - it dilutes emotions, screens slaves, and is the fuel for sacrificing hundreds of millions of lives to activate the alien "star gate".
The mine's cleaning order fell like a guillotine, and Lu Yan faced a choice: swallow the inhibitor and become a senseless "white man", or follow the guidance of the bone fragments and step into a wasteland full of radiation and betrayal. And Lu Yun, who was suffering from a high fever, had golden lines on her wrist that even she couldn't understand - that might be the only key to closing the star gate.
On the way to escape, the bones whispered, and the pursuers followed them like shadows. Behind Officer Carl's gun is the cold will of the Federation to harvest the raw fluid; under the protection of the Resistance Army's "Bone Guardians" lies his father's unfinished will and bloody truth. In the deeper shadows, Nishizawa, the creation of the "Starfire Society", has awakened. His amber pupils reflect the same goal: to collect four bones and reach the star gate.
Life or death, purification or sacrifice, the choice falls in the hands of a brother and sister. They must find the way back to the sea of stars in the desert of human nature.
