The apocalypse came, and the military warlords seized the Hope Base that Zhou Qing had painstakingly built overnight. His comrades were slaughtered, and brothers turned against each other. Instead of fighting head-on, he slipped into an abandoned underground nuclear arsenal. With his combat engineering skills and Jiang Ning's technical support, he emptied the entire stockpile in a single night, taking Zhao Tiezhu, the stubborn captain of the guard, along with it. Just as the warlords think he is out of options, Zhou Qing returns with nuclear weapons and a crack squad. He wants not revenge, but to redefine the rules of this world. Old Ghost's intelligence, Song Lan's tactics, and Chen Mo's codebreaking make this comeback full of uncertainty, while the viral data in Jiang Ning's hands points to an even more terrifying truth.
