Apocalypse Survivalist

No Superpowers + Realistic + No Saintly Heroics + Decisive and Ruthless

Preppers are real. They are a product of the age of nuclear threats.

They first appeared during the Cold War.

They prepared thoroughly for the apocalyptic wars that might be coming.

After the Cold War ended, they didn’t disappear. Instead, they became even more sophisticated and stockpiled more supplies for emergencies.

They have always believed the apocalypse will come. Their rationality lets them see through the true nature of things, setting them apart from people who only care about today and give no thought to tomorrow.

Preppers care about how to survive tomorrow, and feel a deep sense of responsibility toward their families, loved ones, and partners.

He also learned sewing, cooking, housebuilding, making leather goods and traditional handicrafts, wilderness survival, shooting, archery, and other basic skills.

At the same time, he started his own business and used all his earnings to build a bunker and stockpile supplies, all to prepare for an apocalypse that could come at any moment.

His girlfriend even wanted to break up with him because of it.

But Li Nian wouldn’t change, even if they broke up.

Then, not long after they split, the apocalypse arrived.

And it was the most terrifying kind of all: a zombie apocalypse!

Fortunately, Li Nian had already made preparations.

But then his recently ex-girlfriend called him for help...
