Thirty-seven years after the cataclysm, the civilization of the old world has become history.
Toxic dust blots out the sun, the air is foul, and every water source is contaminated. Clean water and food are the only hard currency in the wasteland.
The walls of Rockhold City divide life from death. The wealthy in the inner city enjoy purified land and want for nothing, while the poor in the outer city huddle in shantytowns, scraping by amid toxic dust and hunger.
Shen Jin is a lone-wolf teenage scavenger from the outer city, with no family or support, always on his own. There is no romance throughout.
Wearing a worn-out filter, drinking crudely filtered murky water, he crosses ruined wastelands, risking his life for a chance to survive. At the brink of despair, he awakens a supply-tracing ability that can locate supplies and identify clean water. But every use brings the backlash of mutation, slowly devouring his humanity.
The Mutant Hunters pursue him, refugees fight over supplies, and old-world factions lie in wait. When mysterious terminal fragments come to light, they reveal the secret behind his parents' disappearance and the truth of the cataclysm.
With no backing and no ties, the boy ventures alone through the wasteland's forbidden zones.
He seeks no love, only survival: to tear through layer upon layer of conspiracy and find a sliver of hope!
Civilization is buried in the yellow sand, and the rest of your life is spent in the wasteland. It's a cold and realistic post-apocalyptic scene, where a lone wolf is trying to survive. It's cruel, harsh and full of stamina. Dear readers, this book is being revised throughout the book, which has brought a bad reading experience to everyone. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
