牧羊人 Shepherd

In 2050, the Earth was plagued by frequent and extreme natural disasters. Dozens of earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes and other catastrophes struck in a single day, rendering the planet uninhabitable.

This abrupt and unrelenting upheaval seemed like a defensive response: humanity, with its unrestrained development, had become a kind of virus to the Earth.

In response, humanity set out to build a Noah’s Ark for extraterrestrial migration. However, environmental degradation accelerated far too rapidly. The technology was incomplete when the ark was forced to launch. It crashed before breaking through the atmosphere. Only a tiny number of cryogenic pods survived intact, remaining dormant until their scheduled wake-up—200 years later.

A mysterious lamb is the first to step onto this silent and “renewed” Earth.
