Duan Yu was reborn. In his previous life, modern weapons suddenly vanished at six in the evening, and a zombie crisis broke out an hour later. Having lazily stocked up on flour at home, he was forced to leave when his neighbors tried to rob him, and died of hunger on the twentieth day. Meanwhile, his brother used his leadership skills to establish a survivors' association in the apocalypse and became its president. On the sixteenth day, he awakened a supernatural ability.
In this life, both Duan Yu and his brother are reborn. After they meet, they realize they have no money to stock up on supplies, so they decide to find another way to survive.
They form a makeshift survivor base, but someone usurps control and the two are forced to flee. They run into Jiang Xia, Duan Yu's childhood sweetheart, and rebuild the base, only for it to fail again not long afterward.
When zombies surround them on the road, they are rescued just as they prepare to make a last stand, still unable to use supernatural abilities. It turns out a skull-faced boss is behind everything: it took away modern weapons in an attempt to destroy Earth. In the end, Duan Yu, his brother, and Jiang Xia join forces to fight the boss and the Slender Man it created, struggling to survive in the apocalypse as they search for a way to endure and save the world.
