By the reservoir, Wang Hongtao was cursing his bad luck with the fish when a blood-red rift split the sky. Acid rain poured down with mutated beasts, and civilization collapsed in minutes. By chance, he awakened the "System for Fishing Up All Things." With a cast of his rod, he could reel in compressed biscuits, antibiotics, fire axes, even armored vehicles, mutated cores, and incomplete cultivation manuals. He also often hooked expired bread, a goose that cursed at people, or a broken pistol with only three bullets. Relying on this luck-of-the-draw ability, he muddles through zombie hordes, extreme cold, and toxic fog, and clashes head-on with survivor factions.
