Ji Zhen calls himself a genius chef, and dreams of saving the world with food. Unfortunately, everyone around him avoids the dishes he cooks.
He doesn't care what they think.
He just figures they have no taste, and opens a restaurant anyway.
Not long after the restaurant opens, the apocalypse arrives.
The climate goes haywire, creatures mutate, and pollutants run rampant.
Ordinary people are terrified of the pollutants and struggle to survive.
But Ji Zhen looks at the grotesque pollutants, eyes shining.
There could be no more perfect ingredients!
A twisted pollutant enters Ji Zhen's restaurant, writhing its tentacles as it tries to swallow him whole.
Ji Zhen: Welcome! A table for one, esteemed guest! Today's special is grilled squid!
Without waiting for the pollutant to react, he grabs his cleaver, hacks off its tentacles with a series of clanks, and turns to toss them onto the sizzling, grease-spitting grill.
From then on, a rumor circulates through the pollutant world:
Whatever you do, don't go to that restaurant on XX Road. The food's delicious, but the price is a little steep.
The pollutants: No idea what you're talking about, Chef. Another plate, please!

The diners are so enthusiastic that a long, bustling queue is always outside Ji Zhen's restaurant.
But one day, for reasons no one knows, a closed sign appears on the door.
For the pollutants, every day without Ji Zhen's cooking feels like a year.
They discover that they can't find even the slightest trace of him, no matter how thoroughly they search!
They search the entire world for Ji Zhen like mad, but never find a thing.
As time passes, the pollutants gradually come to believe that Ji Zhen may be dead, perhaps swallowed by some fellow who couldn't see where it was going.
They will always miss the human who made their spirits and souls tremble.

In a sense, Ji Zhen really is in the "belly" of a pollutant.
Dense, viscous fog enshrouds an uncharted island, and the entire island is "Its" body.
Ji Zhen looks worriedly at the pollutant in front of him.
"Even if I agreed to make you a couples' meal, that doesn't mean you can keep me locked up here forever, right?"
The pollutant pauses. Its sticky tentacles coil around Ji Zhen's waist, and Ji Zhen seems used to the touch. He opens his arms and embraces the monster before him.
"Zhenzhen, it's only a couples' meal if it's just the two of us."
Forever, only the two of them.
