Seven years into the wasteland calendar, the "Great Collapse" tore the world into pieces.
The laws of physics partially fail, and civilization retreats into the wilderness. The survivors huddled together in the ruins for warmth, or became bandits.
Lu Chen, a retired scout and former logistics heavy truck driver, has a strange ability - he can see the "real price" of anything.
One expired can is worth three bullets.
A bottle of uncontaminated water is worth a person's life.
A self-proclaimed "loyal" partner is worth a knife in the back.
He doesn't save the world, he just wants to live and do business.
Driving his rumbling heavy-duty truck "Old Man", Lu Chen shuttled between settlements in the wasteland, exchanging bullets from the north for medicine from the south, scrap iron for fuel, and information for security.
But the most valuable goods in the wasteland are never materials.
It is an encryption chip that can reveal the truth about the "Great Collapse".
He is a scientist who holds hope for humanity's restart.
It's trust, it's betrayal, it's the price one person is willing to pay for another.
When everyone wanted to snatch the "package", Lu Chen found that for the first time, something that could not be priced appeared on his price list.
"Everything has a price. Except 'worth it.'"
