An unprecedented cold wave will engulf Jianggang City in thirty days. In his previous life, Lu Chen, the night-shift supervisor at a cold-chain disaster preparedness center, followed procedure to save people. But his neighbors, coworkers, and former lover tricked him into opening the temperature-controlled warehouse, stole his access card, and left him to die outside its doors in forty-two-below-zero cold.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to thirty days before the cold wave and awakened the "Zero-Degree Vault," an ability that could preserve inanimate objects in a state of stillness.
This time, Lu Chen would no longer leave his kindness in other people's hands. Using the cold-chain system, warehouse access, and memories of his previous life, he stockpiled supplies, secured a safe house, and uncovered a conspiracy to divert resources. Qin Huaishan wanted to use procedure to shirk responsibility, Xu Zhiye wanted to buy his way into the apocalypse, and Lin Yan hoped to use their past relationship to get close to him again.
Lu Chen had only one goal: before the freeze arrived, take every path to survival back into his own hands.
