(Not a saintly do-gooder + cold-hearted + decisive and ruthless + no beating around the bush + no female lead)
Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things like straw dogs.
I'm not writing a mindless story. An apocalypse novel can't avoid exploring human nature, so I'll write a protagonist who has none...
A sudden catastrophe caught everyone off guard.
Mutated animals, mutated people. As a cowardly shut-in, how could I survive in an environment like this? There are no morals, no right or wrong, only survival.
I lived cautiously, only to discover in the end that I was the sole survivor. With no other choice, I tried to die alongside the zombies, but found myself reborn. Just as I was ready to take revenge, the System made me sleep for a hundred years. When I woke, everything had changed, and changed in a deeply unsettling way...
(I have nothing left to lose, and no hope for life anymore. I hope this book can make my life better. I've bet everything on it.)
