Synopsis

[Apocalyptic Mind Games] + [God-Tier Brain Powers] + [play the pig to eat the tiger] + [Strong Allies] + [Survival and Base-Building]

When the apocalypse hits, ordinary office worker Li Rui awakens what seems like a useless power: his head grows a size larger. But he unexpectedly unlocks an extraordinary brain, with a photographic memory, millisecond-fast analysis, and telescopic vision and super-hearing! From the start, he takes refuge in a library, devouring books on medicine, mechanics, and strategy until he has practically “downloaded” the entire collection into his brain. He also figures out the deadly rules behind the zombies: they fear water, and they can evolve!

With supplies running low, he decisively seeks protection, only to run into a gang of ill-intentioned mutant athletes. Using his superbrain to plan ahead, he lures zombies with an alarm clock and turns the horde against them, while rescuing Han Xuerou, a medical student with a hidden ability. A chance encounter brings him into contact with the armed forces. One claim that “Wu Jiao is my uncle” bluffs his way past a mid-ranking officer. Later, by accurately predicting zombie hordes and devising defensive plans, he goes from a half-naked survivor to a key strategist!

With the city besieged by green-haired zombies, the military splitting apart, and supplies running out, Li Rui uses his superbrain to calculate every possibility. He plans a waterway defense base in Baishazhou, puts together a migration convoy of bicycles, and leads thousands of people on a desperate journey to safety! He also ventures into a bizarre academy to find people with special abilities, matches wits with a “hypocrite” leader, and uses the threat of a nuclear bomb to control the situation.

While others rely on brute force to kill zombies, Li Rui uses his brain to turn the tide. In this apocalypse, as long as he’s around, humanity still has a chance to come back!
