I Became a Ghost in the Apocalypse, Bro, Don't Lock Me in the Dark Room!

[Apocalypse, supernatural powers, two male leads, happy ending. The apocalypse isn't quite so apocalyptic: there are zombies, but not everything is about zombies.]

Encounter zombies, survive, awaken supernatural powers, find a cure, rebuild, and return to a peaceful life. That was the story Yu Jinping thought he was living. After all, one plotline that only belongs in a novel was more than enough.

But the zombie crisis ends abruptly, and the appearance of people with supernatural powers throws society into chaos. Are they freaks or saviors?

It turns out the zombies were only the beginning.

Yu Jinping's power is a little unusual, and he doesn't know how to judge it. Good and bad are too simplistic, while its effects on him creep in little by little, "as dark as his power itself."

Later, Yu Jinping becomes a ghost, or at least he looks the part. Sitting on his own tombstone, he watches his family, friends, and colleagues from when he was "alive" bawl their eyes out. Quite a few people who used to curse him even bring flowers. He wonders if they feel even a little guilty.

After the crowd disperses, he sees Sun Fu'an, once one of the Mechanical Engineering Department's Twin Stars, now captain of the second team of the Mutant Rescue Squad and the public face of the Abnormal Risk Control Bureau. The idiot he once carried out of a zombie horde still hasn't left.

Yu Jinping had gone off to die with every intention of doing so, but now that he's become a ghost, he finds himself reluctant to leave. So he begins searching for a way to "come back to life."

At last, he gets in touch with Sun Fu'an and sees how excited the guy is.

Yu Jinping figures that if he meets certain conditions, he can "come back to life" and rejoin everyone. He shares his theory with Sun Fu'an.

But the other's expression suddenly turns inscrutable. Yu Jinping is confused, stunned, and his hair stands on end! Hey, man!
