Deep Mountain Redemption

A group of urban travelers, each carrying their own burdens, sign up for a deep hiking trip in the Shennongjia forest, hoping to escape their life troubles and heal their inner obsessions through the mountain journey. However, due to the guide's deliberate concealment of the rainstorm warning and the hasty entry into the mountains, the group mistakenly ventures into the core restricted area of Shennongjia. A sudden massive flash flood destroys all mountain roads and trail markers, with heavy rain sealing off the mountains, no signal, and no way back, leaving the entire team completely isolated and trapped in a desperate situation. The dense forest is fraught with dangers: continuous rain, damp and cold conditions, wild beasts lurking, toxic mists, and cliffs everywhere, with fatal crises arriving one after another. Supplies rapidly deplete, water and food run out, injuries and illnesses frequently occur, and life-and-death crises unfold daily. Under the crushing desperation, the originally loose and unfamiliar team completely splits, with two factions—those who resign to fate and those who fight desperately for survival—in constant confrontation, exposing human selfishness, cowardice, struggle, and faint glimmers of hope. The group struggles to survive in the endless deep mountain predicament, repeatedly engaging in close calls with death, facing themselves, breaking through their inner demons, and undergoing transformation amidst extreme danger. This is a wilderness survival with no retreat, and even more so, a desperate cultivation that tempers the soul. All fight with their lives to break through the deep mountain predicament, ultimately finding a way out and understanding the true trade-offs and release in life. — Description from novelcodex.org
