Synopsis
Chen Yan, an Asian youth, came to the imperial city of Yanan as a new immigrant, where steam and steel interwove. To establish himself in a foreign land, he spent all his savings on an old apartment at 33 Walker Street and was fortunate enough to receive an offer to work at Byron Weiss Zoo. However, before the peaceful life of a wage earner could even begin, strange things followed one after another. The thief who broke into the apartment was inexplicably scared to death by several pieces of paper, on which were written terrifying rules that must not be violated: You are not allowed to fall asleep between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m." Squat down and look northeast. There's a pleasant surprise. What's even more fatal is that in the Byron Weiss Zoo where he is about to start working, there are also deadly crazy rules everywhere: There is no aquarium at Byron Weiss Zoo. If you come across one, please stand still. There are only tigers in the tiger zone, no cats. If you encounter a cat, please evacuate as soon as possible. Head towards the direction with the thickest fog and don't turn left. Once the rules are violated, one is bound to face an indescribable and tragic fate, and may even be transformed into a terrifying monster. The hunters hidden in the dark night, the outcasts who have fallen due to "dirty blood", the mysterious choir, and the relatives of the outer gods who are watching everything from the shadows... In this city fraught with crises, in order to preserve his meager salary and life, Chen Yan was forced to frantically test the boundaries of the rules of life and death. This is not merely a thrilling battle for survival by rules, but rather a gaze from the abyss. Welcome to the non-existent Yanan City. Please always keep in mind: follow the rules and strive to survive.
