The zombie apocalypse erupts without warning, and Jiang Yu gains the System from a game she has always played. A migrant worker in Xinhu City, she grows stronger as she travels back to Beijiang to find her parents, eventually rising from an unknown nobody to become a lord who protects an entire region.
Called by a greater cause, Jiang Yu leads her people into the official forces and wages an unending battle against the zombies.
This is a story of growth, inspiration, and passion. Jiang Yu is about to carve out her own path in the apocalypse.
With zombies still out there, how can anyone think of home? This novel has no male lead, though there are hints of romance. In the end, these tender feelings are scattered in the blood-red apocalypse, fading away like smoke without a trace. As the poem says: “Set aside love and family; now is the time to pursue our boundless ambition.”
