In the seventh year of the apocalypse, Shen Yunshu woke up next to his sister's body. Medicines were stolen and the wounded died tragically. Her fiancé, who had risked her life to save her, personally testified that he wanted to trade her life for a future. Everyone was waiting to see her kneel down and confess, but she deliberately gave the wrong password during the interrogation, allowing the real mole to speak on her own. Three days later, she kneeled her fiancé in front of a live broadcast across the city: "You trade my life for your future, and I will sacrifice your future for the dead."
On the other side, Gu Mingzhuang, who was stripped of his white clothes, rescued the wounded from the pile of dead. The two of them recognized their old friends across two generations with the phrase "Zhao Yuxuan's plum wine".
In their previous life, they were trapped in a prison of power; in this life, they have traveled through the apocalypse and started to counterattack with a hospital bed, a fever-reducing needle and a passage sign. Shen Yunshu can read memories and manipulate information, but will lose his memory every time he uses his abilities; Gu Mingzhuang can treat the injured and purify infections, but he burns his own lifespan. One may forget everyone, and the other may not survive until the end.
Contaminated blood bags, underground experiments, betrayal by men, mutiny by the old nobles, the Purge of Eden... They were humiliated, sacrificed, and used as tools time and time again, and they overturned the case in public again and again, taking back medicines, granaries, military power, and the entire city. They established an intelligence network and a medical army, and went from being abandoned by everyone to being in charge of 120,000 people.
But after actually sitting on the throne, they discovered that it is not difficult to seize power, but the difficult thing is not to become the next tyrant.
It wasn't until the door to the "no apocalypse" opened that they realized that time travel, supernatural powers, and the dark tide were all just civilized experiments. They are not saviors, just pawns to be observed.
