After the cataclysm, the world rotted away under the poison of information. The only thing that made Lin Xiu different was her tongue. She could taste the production date behind every morsel of food, sense the radiation hidden in water, and even "read" the fragmented memories imprinted on objects. This ability had kept her alive among the ruins of steel, until she tasted a can of food left behind by her brother and discovered a coded distress signal about the origins of the apocalypse.
In search of her missing brother, she is forced to leave her hiding place in the sewers and venture into a perilous exclusion zone divided among predators, mechanical monsters, and a mysterious organization called the Cleaners. She will encounter resistance fighters lurking in the shadows, uncover the terrifying truth behind her power, and gradually unravel the mystery of her father's bizarre death. In this broken world, every bite could be deadly, and every sensation on her tongue could drag her into an even deeper conspiracy and madness.
When the ultimate secret, "Zero Point," takes shape on her tongue, Lin Xiu will face a choice: shut down the source contaminating everything and end this desperate apocalypse, or risk taking control of it and rekindle a faint human dawn amid the ruins of destruction?
With taste as her blade, she will savor a path to survival in a rotting world.
