A city destroyed by servants
Mysterious creatures "Servants" and "Snowflake Infection" destroyed most of human society. Kuku was wounded in battle with his subordinates during a military battle, and later gathered supplies and established a residence alone in Jiangchu City. In 2210, she comes into contact with a runaway girl and Lin Nan, who comes to investigate, breaking her previously closed daily life.
Scientists who left behind
Lin Nan accepted a government commission to study the servants, but once refused to board the "Ark," choosing instead to stay on Earth to find the cause of the disaster and ways to defeat the enemy. She possesses strong calculation and problem-solving abilities, tending to assess tasks calmly. The investigation into the theft of classified information brought her to Kuku.
The assistant's departure
Ping An Ling was once Lin Nan's assistant and had given up the chance to leave Earth. She cannot accept the mission that causes heavy casualties, takes an important storage device during a lab accident, and leaves the camp. She hopes to surpass Lin Nan while possessing human emotions that are hard to let go; Their conflict caused the research goals and methods to achieve them no longer align.
Branches and performances
Players make choices through communication and crisis, and the character numerical system participates in the story progression. The producers listed two storylines and multiple endings, provided full character voice acting, numerous event scenes, and about 500,000 words of text. Jiujiu's survival experience and the other two interpreted the disaster differently form the main background for reading and choice.
Personal experiences before the disaster
Jiujiu was wounded in her right eye by a stray bullet in 2204 and woke up in Jiangzhong City in June 2206; She is also infected with "snowflakes." Lin Nan excels in calculation and hearing. In 2205, he was commissioned by an international government to study minions, but in December of that year he refused to go to the ark and stayed on Earth to find ways to fight minions.
Scientists and assistants leaving camp
Ping An Bell officially served as Lin Nan's assistant from 2201, but gave up the Ark ship ticket in 2205. In February 2210, dissatisfied with casualties caused by the mission, she stole a storage device during the laboratory "Snowflake" incident and left the camp; In July of that year, she met Jiujiu.
Homemade eye drops and rushed to Los Angeles
In Lin Nan's storyline, Jiujiu secretly uses homemade medicine to relieve the infection in her right eye. Before leaving Jiangzhong City, Lin Nan discovered that the raw material was snowflakes from the street, and told her that these snowflakes were transformed from people. Jiujiu discarded the medicine but still chose to accompany Lin Nan, who had to return to Luocheng. On the way, Lin Nan falls ill after a wolf crisis and Jiujiu helps her bypass the threats of the servants; By the time they arrived in Luocheng, Jiujiu's infection had entered its final stage, separated by the city wall from Lin Nan, but she still remembered her companions' figures.
The convoy on the Ping An Bell Line was attacked
The Peace Bell line unlocked in the second playthrough showcases another segment of escape. The convoy is attacked. Jiujiu kills the soon-to-be-mutated accompanying crew. Lin Nan, who arrives, witnesses the scene, and the safety bell has already disappeared from the damaged vehicle. This ending is a farewell to the Lin Nan route's farewell to Los Angeles.
Timed actions during travel
Some chase scenes require players to choose their actions within a time limit. The narrative also switches to the actions of different characters at the same moment, with choices that affect contact and survival outcomes. Wrong actions can lead to a bad end. Travel thus relies on the character's state and the choices made in specific scenes to advance.
Finding people by the riverbank and opening the door from a viewpoint
When Jiujiu and Lin Nan searched for the other survivors, they called out their coordinates on the riverbank, and Jiujiu used Chinese, English, and Japanese in turn. The scene shifting to Lin Nan's perspective requires opening the door for Jiujiu at the right moment; The vehicle depot provides a map, allowing players to plan their movements during the chase.
Travel reserves and model branches
In the Travel Chapter, you can no longer reduce infection or death values, nor can you replenish food, so your pre-departure state affects your survival along the way. Lin Nan's route vehicle choices change follow-up: in the armored branch, Jiujiu is executed by Lin Nan on her way back to Jiangzhong City; In the Jeep branch, she becomes a servant when sending signals alone.
From being an observer to living together
Lin Nan initially regarded Jiujiu, who was infected but still survived, as a rare observation subject, and Jiujiu quickly developed feelings for her. The two have different understandings of the same city: Jiujiu maintains her daily routine through habit and self-paralysis, while Lin Nan sees the ongoing disaster. Living together and traveling gradually changed the distance between them.
The ending of Lin Nan's departure in the city of Liucheng
In the branch of Staying Alone in the city, Lin Nan believed that acting alone gave her a better chance of survival, and she didn't want Jiujiu to take the risk. She left without saying goodbye in advance. Jiujiu finally stood alone on the rooftop, watching the snowflakes drifting in. This farewell was separated from the two traveling together to Luocheng.
Imprisonment and visits in the camp
In the other ending after arriving at the camp, Jiu Ku ultimately becomes a servant and is imprisoned. Lin Nan still made time to talk with her, showing his sadness; In the end, she saw Jiujiu off, and the servant Jiujiu walked toward Jiangzhong City, which carried their shared memories.
