I Woke Up with Billions of Suitors

Xu Yingnian used to be a hard-working corporate drone, slogging through a 996 work schedule every day. Then he woke up to a zombie outbreak. With food running short and water scarce, he was forced to flee.

The first three chapters set the scene. The story gets underway afterward, and the protagonist starts out rather useless but gradually grows stronger.

This novel has no System, no golden finger, and no special abilities.

The first three chapters lay the groundwork. The post-apocalyptic world is fully introduced in the fourth.
