Zhou Yang knelt on the ground, his hands cuffed behind his back. The light tube in the interrogation room made a harsh buzz. His design draft was spread out on the table, and every page was marked with a red letter "confidential leaked". The company's legal officer coldly handed him an agreement: "Sign it, or you won't be able to turn around for the rest of your life." He gritted his teeth and looked up, seeing several people standing behind the glass in the conference room - the bosses who had greeted him with smiles, were now staring at him with the eyes of a hunter looking at his prey. The phone screen lit up, and the message from her mother was only seven words: "Son, we believe in you." But the next second, she added: "But everyone in the village said..." Zhou Yang closed his eyes, and the last sentence of the anonymous email flashed in his mind: If even your relatives don't believe you, what do you have left? He picked up the pen tremblingly, but heard footsteps coming from outside the door. A familiar voice sounded: "Did you ask him to sign?" It was his boss and the biggest beneficiary of this leak. Zhou Yang smiled, his smile twisted and cold.

As the doomsday approaches, a "returning disaster" caused by alien spores sweeps across the world. The virus quickly infects humans and creatures, spawning twisted and terrifying zombies and mutant beasts. Surface civilization collapsed, nuclear winter descended, and survivors struggled to survive in the wasteland. The protagonist Lin Ye, an ordinary college student, awakens the [All Things Workshop] proficiency panel during his escape - a system that can make and enchant any item. Others rely on their superpowers to evolve, but I rely on my "liver" to achieve my magic! Starting from enchanting a steel bar with [Sharpness], to using broken iron sheets to create a [Self-healing Shield], he used scraps as the basis and source matter as the guide, constantly spawning monsters and upgrading, unlocking [Armor Breaking], [Swiftness], [Annihilation] and other heaven-defying terms. While others were trapped in the struggle for resources, he had built equipment that was enough to compete with the lord-level ruin beasts, becoming the only "god-level craftsman" in the wasteland. Traveling between a cyberpunk-style shelter and a Cthulhu-style alien rift, he used his hands to reshape the fire of civilization and lead mankind to carve out a way out of despair.

In my previous life, I was Zhou Yuchuan, a back-end programmer at "Xingyu Technology". I was forced to change requirements until early in the morning by my demanding boss Wang Jingzhi every day. Because I accidentally discovered that he and Zhao Chengye, the major shareholder behind the scenes, had misappropriated 30 million of the company's funds and disguised opponents as evidence of "accidental death", they were designed to cause him to die in a car accident due to "drowsy driving after working overtime". After being reborn, I returned to the week before I discovered the evidence. Not only did I retain the memories of my previous life, but I also obtained the golden finger of "spiritual awareness enhancement" - when I touched the relics of the deceased, a string of code-like "death codes" would appear in my mind. After analysis with programming logic, I could see the memory fragments and key clues of the deceased's death (such as the scene of Sister Li being pushed before she fell from the building, and the fund form she hid in the USB flash drive). In this life, I decided to first help the financial specialist Sister Li who was disguised as an "accidental fall" to reverse the case: analyze the "death code" through her relics (a USB flash drive with "L" engraved on it), and find out the truth about why she was pushed downstairs by Wang Jingzhi, as well as the evidence of misappropriation of funds hidden in the USB flash drive; then I handed the evidence to Lin Wanzhao, a police officer from the criminal investigation team, to investigate together; then, I used my rebirth memory to avoid Wang Jingzhi's murder. The conspiracy (for example, I was arranged to work overtime until early in the morning in my previous life, and then asked for leave under the pretext of illness after my rebirth), and also led to Zhao Chengye's behind-the-scenes transactions (he wanted to transfer the embezzled funds overseas); in the end, we brought Wang Jingzhi and Zhao Chengye to justice, and rehabilitated three wrongdoers including Sister Li. I also became the technical backbone of the company by exposing the conspiracy, getting rid of the fate of being an "overtime dog" and making up for the regrets of the previous life.
