Rebirth Fields on the Wasteland

For thirty-four years, the Orange Haze sealed the world. The Sky Ark carried a select few elites to the stars, leaving billions of ordinary people abandoned in the toxic wasteland.

Lu Chen, a PhD in environmental engineering, obtained a ticket to the heavens that others could only dream of, but resolutely tore it up. He gathered a group of survivors who refused to accept their fate, hid in an abandoned geotechnical research institute, and cultivated a three-hectare experimental field to study the cultivation of microorganisms and the solidification of toxins, hoping to regenerate life on this planet that had been declared dead.

But the beneficiaries of the Ark in the sky panicked. Once the fact that Earth could recover spread, the lie upon which the Ark's refuge system relied would crumble. Agents disguised as raiders, traitors lured by the chance to board, and devastating waves of acid mist assaulted the small outpost in waves.

There are no magic tricks here. Every step of soil improvement is accompanied by failures, sacrifices, and bloodshed. Everyone is scrambling to escape to the heavens, but they are rooted in their homeland, using experimental fields to fight for a glimmer of hope for rebirth for those who remain on earth.
