The world began to collapse. A mysterious virus shattered the order of human civilization, and modern society quickly became a wasteland. The bustle of the cities was replaced by bloodshed and screams. Familiar streets turned into man-eating hunting grounds, while the pressure to survive gradually revealed people’s truest natures.
Lin Ce, a cool-headed and rational urban planner, had thought his life would be filled with data and blueprints. But the outbreak of the virus turned his life upside down. He joined forces with a group of survivors, each with a different personality: Gu Chen, a compassionate doctor; Yang Fan, a battle-hardened veteran; and Xiao Qi, a timid but clever college student. In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, they had no choice but to depend on one another as they searched for a chance to survive amid flight and resistance.
Yet the zombies were only the surface. A deeper crisis lurked within humanity: Was the truth behind the virus tied to some unspeakable experiment? Would trust among the survivors fall apart, or would the deepest darkness in human nature prevail? In this shattered world, they had to face the ever-present threat of zombies, uncover the secrets hidden behind the virus, and seek a way to rebuild civilization.
As the virus continued to evolve, the pressure to survive grew heavier, and each member of the group gradually changed amid one perilous situation after another. The wheels of fate began to turn, and every choice could send them plunging into the abyss. Would all be utterly destroyed, or would they sing a requiem for the dawn amid despair?
