The Unchosen Person

The sun has entered an abnormal dormancy, the sudden drop of extreme cold around the world has sealed the earth into a ten-year ice prison, and human civilization is on the verge of collapse. A polar scientific expedition team composed of geologists, doctors, and engineers followed the mysterious coordinates deep into the Greenland ice sheet in order to find the legendary doomsday refuge. Ice fissures devour companions and suspicions tear apart the team. Professor Chen's calm calculations hide unknown secrets. When they crossed the 500-kilometer death ice field and arrived at the "Gate of Prometheus" made of inverted metal cones, they were shocked to realize that this survival was no accident - it was a civilization screening plan that lasted for twenty years. Digitization of consciousness, physical backup, elite selection, bionic puppets... The so-called Ark is a civilized cage that replaces human nature with efficiency. The survivors are forced to stand in front of a cruel threshold: become permanent data, or retreat to the ice field to die, or tear up lies for the right to survive. In the ultimate game between body and soul, individual and civilization, they have to prove that survival has never been the privilege of the elite, but the right of every ordinary person. This is a science fiction epic about betrayal, truth and persistence of humanity in the frozen apocalypse.
