During the famine and cold winter of the 1960s, the protagonist Gu Ang traveled to the wilderness of Northeast China and activated the craftsman survival system. He started from scratch, logging and building houses, digging holes for fishing, and hunting black bears, struggling to gain a foothold in the harsh environment. Later, he took in the fleeing Lin sisters, tamed the wild wolves, and formed his own small team. With the power of the system, he gradually upgraded the base and even built a blast furnace to smelt steel and build weapons and fortifications. When the huge wild boar herd threatens, Gu Ang has grown from a struggling lone traveler to a wilderness lord with a strong fortress and industrial power, ready to face the ultimate challenge of survival.
