A global blizzard sends temperatures plummeting. Ninety percent of humanity freezes to death, and the survivors struggle to stay alive in underground cities.
Chen Feng used to work as a mall security guard. Trapped in the ruins, he touches the body of a special forces soldier and awakens a supernatural ability.
He can inherit the dead person's memories and abilities, but only for twenty-four hours, unless he turns them over to the state to be permanently preserved.
The System secretly tempts him to hoard his power, but he chooses to join the “Heroic Spirit Project.”
He becomes the first registered host, rising from an ordinary civilian to a core asset of the nation's military strength.
Extreme cold, monsters, internal strife, and foreign enemies come one after another, forcing him to keep pushing beyond his limits.
Every inheritance tests his will. Every battle carries the convictions of the dead.
When the Mother Entity arrives, he becomes the battle spirit of all humanity and detonates nuclear power with his own flesh and blood.
Sunlight breaks through the gloom, and spring returns to the earth.
He is Chen Feng, Codename Zero, humanity's final torch.
