The poisonous fire of international conflicts has ignited a biological hell, and prosperous cities have become zombie hunting grounds. Xiao Yuanzheng, an ordinary middle-class man struggling between the workplace ecology within the system and his divorced life, witnessed the complete collapse of the rule-based world at the moment of the apocalypse.
The calculations of office politics, the pressure of mortgage and car loans, the estranged but unbroken bond with his ex-wife Lin Yue, the deep but unspeakable guilt for his daughter Jiajia... All of these lost their meaning the moment the monster tore apart the first passerby. The only clear thing is the instinctive call deep in the blood: family!
In order to save his daughter who is in danger, Xiao Yuanzheng must transform from the cautious "Director Xiao" into a cold and determined survivor in the apocalypse. Breaking out of the crisis-ridden office building and walking through the ruins of the city that had become a Shura field, he not only had to fight against the ubiquitous bloodthirsty zombies, but also beware of the greed, betrayal and madness hidden in the survivor camp.
Find shelter, compete for survival resources, and make cruel choices in the gray area where good and evil are blurred... Every step may be a dead end. But his daughter's innocent smile is his beacon that never goes out. "Journey of Embers: The Story of a Father in the Lonely City" - tells the story of an ordinary father who was swept away by the torrent of the times, and how he used his flesh and blood to carve a way out for his loved ones when civilization collapsed.

There is no senseless killing and decisiveness, which is good.
I still prefer articles written with experience working within the system and not having too many abnormal interpersonal relationships.
