Set in a near future where a breakthrough in bioengineering has been turned into military technology, School Shock follows vanguards, elite bioengineered soldiers whose combat effectiveness comes at the cost of a shortened lifespan caused by the nanomachines they carry. Most vanguards retire after several years of service. The story centres on Liuli, a vanguard who has already worn down much of her life through long missions and has only a limited time left. She is assigned a new task: rescuing a hostage held inside a civilian facility. During the operation she discovers that the hostage-taker is a former vanguard, Zhongrong Zhou, who is demanding that the government hand over the son of Eden. Liuli regards him with deep contempt, and a confrontation between two vanguards follows. The series blends military action with questions about the human cost of the weapons being built.
