When the stars collapsed and civilization turned into ashes, human beings learned the only truth in fear: technology is original sin.
Three hundred years later, in the wasteland, mechanic Lin Yan is the last "restorer." She can awaken the sleeping steel with her scarred hands, but she cannot repair a world shrouded in the shadow of the past. Until that day, her recklessness led to an irreversible disaster - her favorite brother Ling Xiao, a cyborg warrior, was infected by the ancient "Silent" virus. His body began to collapse, and his consciousness struggled repeatedly between human and monster. He only had thirty days and nights left in his life.
The only hope to save your loved one lies in the core of the forbidden wasteland - the "cradle", where the source code of creation sleeps, and the truth about the destruction of civilization is also buried. Lin Yan takes his brother on a desperate journey deep into the ruins, fighting for his life with bone-eroding mechanical beasts, fighting with fanatic believers who believe in "pure flesh", and maintaining the shaky trust in each other in his brother's increasingly unfamiliar eyes.
However, when she reaches the end, what awaits her is not redemption, but a choice more cruel than death. An ancient AI who witnessed the end of mankind gave an impossible choice: to save his brother, he must personally restart the disaster that once destroyed the world.
Under the rusty stars, Lin Yan used a mechanical arm sacrificed by herself to give the third answer - not restart, not destruction, but repair.
When the first fire of civilization that did not rely on plunder lit up in the desperate wasteland, she knew that some people were stronger than codes.
