Synopsis
When genetic mutations set off a prairie fire like wildfire, civilization is crumbling under the scarlet night. Geneticist Lin Jin, whose name contains the remnants of the destruction of civilization, became a defector hunted by the military because of his discovery of forbidden experimental data in the "Candle Dragon Project" that resonated with the codes of ancient books. His pipette gun and encrypted USB disk have become the key to solving the doomsday puzzle, and the philosophy of "Chu Ci" engraved in his bones is his spiritual armor against despair. Lu Xingchui, a retired special forces soldier, is like a lone star that will never fall. He uses the Suzaku tattoo as his seal and the Tang Hengdao as his weapon to carve out a way out of the chaos. Carrying the dark past of military experiments, he turned "Sun Tzu's Art of War" into a battlefield strategy and guarded the glimmer of hope amidst the roar of mutated creatures. The encounter between Jin and Chui is the collision of reason and wildness, the resonance of poetry and swords. One deciphers the truth of the doomsday from the genetic sequence, and the other opens a way to survive in the blood and fire fight. They pieced together fragments of ancient books in abandoned laboratories and fought side by side in the smoke-filled streets, trying to uncover the terrifying conspiracy behind the "Seed of Eternal Night". When the embers and the hanging stars complement each other, can these twin souls burn through the fog that shrouds the world in the majesty of "The Wine"? In a desperate situation of betrayal and trust, can they work together to rebuild the twelfth floor of human civilization and let hope be reborn from the ashes of the apocalypse? Concept: Taking the collision of genetic science and classical culture as the starting point, Lin Jin's scientific research rationality and Lu Xingchui's classical wisdom complement each other, symbolizing the integration of science and technology and humanities - the former analyzes the root causes of doomsday from the molecular level, while the latter uses the philosophy of ancient books to find a way to break the situation, and jointly explain that the continuation of civilization requires the interweaving of reason and sensibility. In the last days when order has collapsed, the protagonists are not only fighting mutant creatures, but also the dark side of human nature (such as the conspiracy of the military and the selfishness of survivors). They support each other, stick to their conscience and ideals, and demonstrate the spiritual power of human mutual aid, sacrifice and redemption in desperate situations. "Jin" represents the burned remains of civilization, and "Han" symbolizes the eternal light of hope. Through the bond of twins, the story explores how destruction can become an opportunity for rebirth, implying that only by breaking the old order and reconstructing values can mankind rebuild civilization on the ruins.
