Synopsis
After a nuclear winter, humanity is no longer the planet's dominant species. Mutations in species and dwindling resources lead to unpredictable crises as the environment and future grow ever more hostile. Humans have erected fortifications for self-defense, yet many choose to remain outside those walls, scraping out a living by hunting in the wild. The protagonist, Ren Xiaosu, and his younger brother, Yan Liuyuan, are among those outsiders. Though not related by blood, these two brothers are bound together by an unyielding resolve, growing stronger through sheer willpower and accidentally awakening superhuman abilities. To survive and safeguard his family, Ren Xiaosu departs from his town and heads for Jingshan Mountain, facing attacks from wolves, human-faced insects, and mutated beasts along the way. Will Ren Xiaosu manage to survive these perils...?
