Abnormality and Symbiosis

In the ninth year of Xiande, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, a strange change occurred in Chenliuchan City, tearing apart the prosperity of the prosperous age. The unknown bacterial poison originating from zombie cicadas spreads out of control, and the infected people may become bloodthirsty puppets with annihilated consciousness and wrapped in hyphae, or they may embark on a natural chasm in severe pain and high fever - using their will to control the bacterial poison, they will become deformed people with strong flesh and gray marks. The old dynasties suddenly collapsed, the lights of civilization were extinguished one after another, and the earth turned into an ashes covered with bacteria and annihilated rules. In this desperate wasteland, the surviving humans retreated to the natural dangers of Songshan Mountain and established the last fortress named Guangfusi. Director Zhao Kuangyin, Deputy Director Ouyang Qianfeng and others led the remnants and the naturally immune people to struggle to survive in this crisis-ridden land, resisting the endless invasion of the Eternals and looking for a slim hope of revival. However, destruction is not the only end. The wise cicadas, who accidentally awakened from the infection and broke away from the control of the mother nest, wandered in the gray area between humans and the Eternals with their independent wisdom and tragic fate. In the deeper darkness, the symbiotic race, which originated from the fusion of the remnants and the wise cicadas and represents a new direction of evolution, quietly emerged. They embrace mycelium, build an "ethernet" that transcends bloodlines, and walk on a completely different path of civilization. When the will of the "swarm assimilation" of the mother nest envelopes the surrounding areas, and when the survivors argue over the paths of "purity" and "fusion", an ultimate decision concerning individual survival and the direction of civilization has arrived. Should we stick to the glory and barriers of the old humans, or embrace change and seek nirvana in symbiosis?
