Introduction
[edit]This film tells the story of what should humanity do after a geological disaster occurs on Earth and the Earth becomes devastated after a catastrophe.
Worldview/ Lore
[edit]- The name given to the huge man-made flying object flying above the earth and inhabited by the surviving humans.
- Defined as a lighthouse resident with excellent genes, the badge color is blue. Responsible for the main things in the lighthouse, can have a name, enjoy better living conditions, and have the right to reproduce.
- Defined as a lighthouse resident with inferior genes, their badges are green. They are responsible for hard labor inside and outside the lighthouse, can have only numbers and not allowed to have names, and experience worse living conditions compared to Lighthouse Superiors, and have no right to reproduce.
- An organization composed of the Superiors from the Lighthouse. They search for materials left over from the old world and provide them to the Lighthouse for use as resources.
- Although the team only consists of upper-class people(Superiors), there are also Inferiors accompanying the team in every resource gathering operation to be responsible for transporting and collecting materials.
- It was founded by the current city lord Morgan, with his son Charles as the Bishop functioning as its head. Its purpose is to stabilize the people's hearts in the end times in the form of religion, but its doctrine obliterates human nature with the law of survival.
- After the super disaster on Earth, a new ecology emerged and replaced the original Earth ecology. Among them, the known creatures are:
- A creature that looks similar to a centipede. It utilizes swarming and has the ability to parasitize and control the human body through the human spine.
- The controlled person is similar to a zombie, but unlike a zombie, he can still move even if he loses his brain. Only by destroying the spinal venom parasite on the spine can the control be cut off. At the same time, when encountering a group of spinal venom, you must never attack them with fire, because fire cannot kill the spinal venom immediately and will make it more dangerous.
- By absorbing the "life essence" of human beings to recover, evolve, reproduce, etc.
- People who lose their "life essence" will have serious symptoms. Most of them will begin to have organ failure, fall into a coma, and their consciousness and subconsciousness will fail. Various vital signs will decline. There is currently no treatment. At the same time, the Extreme Devouring Beast cannot see the spinal Gu.
- Known types are:-
- 1. Snake dogs(Chinese: 蛇狗; pinyin: Shé gǒu) look like lizards, but have six legs and claws like human hands. They are the size of two African elephants and are very fast. Although they do not have long-range attack capabilities, they have the ability to increase the attack distance.
- They mainly hunt humans and are quite intelligent. They can think about multiple things at the same time. They have a large number of tentacles or horns on their necks that can emit light. Unlike the creatures before Earth, they do not eat but use the large number of tentacles or horns on their necks to absorb the "life essence" of humans.
- 2. Earth Roar(Chinese: 地吼; pinyin: De hǒu) looks like a frog, has six legs, a swollen throat, and can emit electromagnetic pulses. Although the electromagnetic pulse is powerful, it needs to be charged to emit the pulse. Attacking its throat while it is charging can interrupt its charging.
- 3. Spiny eel(Chinese: 刺鳗; pinyin: Cì mán) looks like a six-legged lizard with shiny patterns on its back. It is extremely fast and agile, good at camouflage, and is often a companion species of the more advanced Devourer. It can spray sharp bone spurs in its mouth. The bone spurs are shaped like a squid, with extremely sharp tips and four tentacles like an octopus at the end. The bone spurs can be used to absorb human life essence.
- Usually appearing in gaseous form, spinal parasites release fishy odor (especially when in groups), but there is no record of spinal parasites releasing fishy odor when parasitizing the human spine. Such hormones can cause hallucinations in those who inhale too much. In addition, humans exposed to fishy odor may suffer from fishy odor disease, which is the appearance of red ulcerated spots on the body, which eventually turn into flesh dust. The pathogenic mechanism of fishy odor is currently unknown, and there is a lack of effective treatment and protection methods. In addition, there is information showing that fishy odor is not only transmitted through breathing.
- Humans will experience hallucinations if they inhale a small amount of garcinia, and they will suffer from garcinia syndrome if they inhale a large amount of garcinia. The main symptoms are hallucinations, decreased self-control, an increasingly urgent desire to satisfy desires, and a gradual loss of reason and madness.
- It is not yet clear whether it is contagious and there is no clear cure.
- The body of a person who has lost all "life essence" becomes similar to stone both inside and out.
- Signs of Mana Ecological Evolution
- Symbiotic relationship with the Beast
- Can breed old or new types of Extreme Beasts
- The core of the Devouring Beast. Damage here will cause the Devouring Beast to be seriously injured or even die.
- It will be activated when it encounters blood, and will parasitize any living or dead thing that can be parasitized by it.

Props Setting

|---|---|
| name | introduction |
| MU2 Heavy Walker-White Shark | A special combat vehicle for wasteland hunters that has functions similar to Powered exoskeletons, it is a very rare combat resource in the lighthouse. The Heavy Walker is based on the rare old world power armor platform, with energy and attack and defense modules installed. The weapon matches different types of ammunition to achieve functions such as protection, sniping, and blasting; the anchor gun can play a good role in restraining large extreme beasts to facilitate the evacuation of troops, but the gun body is too heavy, and the research department is currently working on improvements. |
| Heavy Walker-Dawn | The Hunter Commander's exclusive Heavy Walker, equipped with a chain saw blade as a regular weapon. The sound of the chain saw is a symbol of victory! This machine has been specially modified to be able to perform more extreme tactical actions and more powerful power output than ordinary Heavy Walkers; but if the operator is inexperienced or has weak physical strength, he will be injured when the machine makes large movements. |
| Airdrop armored vehicle | Lighthouse is a special military transport vehicle equipped with lightly armed functions. It has better defense, mobility and passability than conventional heavy transport vehicles. It also has a certain cargo function based on the survival needs of the doomsday. In order to cope with critical situations, the research department has equipped it with an active landing system, making it possible to land directly on the ground. During airdrop, the eight rocket engines at the bottom ignite simultaneously to achieve strong buffering; the seats in the cabin are equipped with special fixing devices to ensure the safety of the passengers during airdrop. Airdrop armored vehicles are the preferred vehicles for wasteland hunters to perform emergency tasks. |
| Clotho System | The existence of the Cloto system is only known to the successive Lighthouse Lords. The core of the system is a huge biological organ that is supported by sophisticated life-support equipment. According to the description of the predecessors of the Lighthouse, the core is the organ of some prehistoric highly intelligent creature, with computing power beyond human cognition. It has provided "answers" to the survival of the Lighthouse many times and was regarded by the first generation of Lords as the key to defeating the Mana ecosystem. Due to unknown reasons, the core has stopped providing computing power, but the Lighthouse still properly maintains the entire system, looking forward to the restart of the core. |
