He transmigrates into the chaos of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only to find himself a dying refugee from the start.
He has no System to rely on, no prestigious family background, only the survival skills he learned as a modern waste-sorting worker.
On battlefields strewn with corpses, he scavenges arrowheads. In abandoned villages, he repairs pottery, trading salvaged war debris for food.
From water-purification devices to simple traps, he uses survival knowledge far ahead of its time to gather an unusual team: silent deserters who teach them how to fight, shrewd merchants who trade for supplies, old farmers who read the weather, and a female physician who tends the wounded.
When remnants of the Yellow Turban rebels set their sights on the belongings these “scavengers” have amassed, they forge weapons from scrap iron and make a ruined fortress their base, launching their first fight for survival.
See how the humblest band of refugees lays the foundation for rising to power in a chaotic age by scavenging for scraps.
