After big pandemic caused by 5G and shortly after the new technology called NFT has swept the world, population on punks shrinks to 1000 from 10000. Other 9000 died in a month from from a mysterious virus, the effects of which are not fully understood.
Some say that the Punks Not Dead, but rather fell into a long, deep sleep on the verge of coma and cybernetic sleep. Scientists who examined the bodies of the deceased were impressed that the bodies showed no signs of tissue decay, but no signs of life either.
Our scientists are hard at work in a secret laboratory struggling to unravel this mystery and promise to make the discovery by the time all 1,000 punks are released.
