In the future world, a "dead wood plague" sweeps across the world. All metal and electronic equipment are instantly rusted and scrapped, and human civilization regresses. At the same time, the plants underwent horrific mutations and awakenings, becoming extremely aggressive and devouring the city. The survivors can only survive in a few "oasis cities" guarded by ancient tree species. The protagonist awakens a rare ability - "plant language", which allows him to understand the language of plants and carry out limited communication with them.
