In the seventh year of the Alteration Era, extraterrestrial spores have swept across the world. The infected have become mindless alters. The survivors' nerves have been eroded by obsession, and they will eventually be trapped in hallucinations and die. No one can escape their fate.
Shen Zhi and Lin Yu were the only ones relying on each other in the ruins, and they protected each other all the way from the occupied city as they escaped. In the early morning when they hid in an abandoned jewelry exhibition hall, the beam of light leaking from the cracks in the wall was covered in dust. The two used the light as a warning, completed an unknown wedding amidst the roar of the alter, and agreed to live together until tomorrow.
The stability is shattered in an instant. Lin Yu was scratched while escaping. Knowing that the infection would not be cured, he concealed his injury and ran to the explosion-proof iron gate. He pushed Shen Zhi into the safe area with all his strength, locked the gate with his backhand, and endured the distortion and death alone.
Shen Zhi, who lives alone, is slowly eroded by the spores, and her huge regret gives birth to an extremely real hallucination - Lin Yu is still by her side, tidying up the old house, making fire and cooking noodles, as gentle as before. She was addicted to the illusion of going both ways, and would rather deceive herself than wake up.
The flaws in the illusion are exposed layer by layer, and the truth is spread out bloody, but the price of sobriety is the total collapse of memory. Shen Zhi forgot about her past and relied on instinct to return to the old house where the two lived together, engraving the survival principle of "everything is dangerous outside the door".
She didn't know that a deformed body was stumbling across half of the ruins with the obsession of "going home". There was a knock on the door. She opened the door, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger, all based on instinct.
When the dust settled, she saw half a piece of broken jade embedded in the palm of the deceased, which fit perfectly with the one on her neck. Her heart suddenly hurt like tearing apart, and tears fell silently, but she searched her blank mind and could no longer remember who this person was.
