Xiao Daidzhao

Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

The tracking device in Zhang Heng's was fully optimized the moment it left the factory. Once the signal transmission had been blocked for more than eight hours, it would automatically trigger the meltdown process, causing irreversible damage to the user's cerebral cortex.

When Zhang Heng fought his enemies at the amusement park, he temporarily removed the signal blocking device because it was approaching the eight hours time limit. However, from the moment he laid down on the operating table, only five hours were left before the tracking device started to meltdown.

In order to ensure that Shengtang Morgan Group did not know Zhang Heng was still alive, Dr. Gu needed to complete the operation within five hours and extract the tracking device under Zhang Heng's cerebral cortex.

Even for Dr. Gu, who was known as one of the only two people in the new Shanghai 0297 who could perform this surgery, it was still a very challenging task for him.
