When the Weird Calamity Strikes, I Write a Survival Guide for the Entire City

During a major blackout in Linjiang City, everyone receives the same official notice: “During the blackout, only people wearing reflective vests are worth opening the door for.” Cheng Yan is certain he never wrote those words. Yet his electronic signature appears at the end of the notice. As residents open their doors one after another and the things inside the reflective vests begin counting people in each household, Cheng Yan discovers that a wrong instruction believed by enough people can become reality. He can see contradictions in the rules and traces of edits, but he cannot see the right answer. To save people, he must enter the disaster zones himself, find living counterexamples, verify the true way out, and then write it into a survival guide sent to the entire city. But the more complete the guide becomes, the safer the city is. And the less it feels like a city for the living. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
