In the bustling tavern, a bard sang the legend of a dragon-slaying hero by the fire, while several adventurers gathered together to play monster cards. Mali finished the remaining capsule coffee in his thermos and said to the half-elf girl beside him, "Let's go, it's time to go," the kind waitress warned. "But there's a group of vicious snake-men bandits lurking on the road ahead. Why don't you wait a little longer? The Baron is already recruiting mercenaries." "No problem, we'll drive."

Under the extreme test of a post-apocalyptic environment, the survival of human civilization and the choices of humanity—when survival instincts collide with moral bottom lines, when individual strength intertwines with collective destiny, is the apocalypse the end of civilization or the beginning of reconstruction? This novel will explore the survival and transformation of civilization in extreme environments through the intertwining of genetic technology, the struggle for survival, and the struggle of humanity.

II. Worldview Setting

2.1 Doomsday Triggers: Triple Screening

Genetic Virus Outbreak: In 2077, a genetically modified virus called "Crimson Dawn" escapes control, capable of rewriting the genes of almost all organisms, causing terrifying mutations in all life forms worldwide. This virus can infect all life on Earth, including humans, becoming the first screening factor in the collapse of civilization.

A red fog descends: After the virus outbreak, a mysterious red fog appeared in the sky. This fog is actually a "gene filter" from an alien civilization, capable of activating hidden potential in biological gene chains and accelerating biological evolution. However, it also leads to instability in biological genes, causing uncontrolled mutations.

Remnants of nuclear winter: In an effort to control the spread of genetic viruses, governments worldwide launched "Project Ice," using biotechnology-based "freezing bombs" to turn low-lying areas of the world into ice ages, triggering a global nuclear winter. Residual radiation caused some areas to become "dead zones," but it also gave rise to the rare resource "radioactive nuclei."

Snow Kirin, the divine beast under the seat of Hades, was seriously injured while fighting alongside the Lord of the Underworld to deal with the catastrophe in heaven. He lost his Sky Soul Pearl and had only the Earth Soul Pearl left in his body, becoming a forgetful and evil beast.

In order to help his partners find the Sky Soul Pearl, Ming Zun personally arranged for Xue Qi to reincarnate into the human world and wait for an opportunity.

Xu Changsheng enters the world of Liaozhai and becomes the gatekeeper of an old mansion.

Just then, he discovers that the scroll he traveled with has the power to alter destiny!

Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor by heaven.

Everything in the universe has its destiny, and I, Xu Changsheng, with a single stroke and a single scroll, can change the fate of the world!

Cultivating immortality in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel? Why would I duel if I can crush you?

Because I always have stories in my head, and as I think about it, it becomes a coherent story...so I write it down.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about the struggle between people's hearts.

After being released from prison, Chen Yuan moved into the shared apartment, intending only to help out, but unexpectedly became embroiled in a shocking conspiracy...

Within a limited but efficient space, construct a suffocating atmosphere of terror; design a gradually escalating and fast-paced horror event; create an isolated protagonist that readers can empathize with; create a source of terror that defies perception and is full of unknown threats; and leave a sufficiently cold and unsettling aftertaste after the climax.

Night Voyage of the Underworld

After a hapless gambler, Wang Huosheng, dies suddenly after winning the lottery, he becomes the captain of the ghost ship "Netherworld," incurring a "trillion-level debt" that affects all worlds. He must sail through the mists of time and space with a group of crew members who are also trapped in karma, confronting the corruption of the underworld, the mechanical cult, and fallen angels, and challenging the "Tower of Babel" gamble where the fate of all beings is the stake.

Old Wang ultimately staked his own existence, boldly proposing the concept of "Obsession Returns to the Boat," intending to transform the Netherworld Ship from a debt-collecting vessel into a true ferry ark, but in doing so, he triggered the Ruins Tide that devoured everything.

Can they guide millions of vengeful souls to the other side amidst the disaster? And what new adventures await in the depths of that mist?

The voyage never ends, the story never ends.
