When death becomes his only bargaining chip, can he rewrite the apocalypse that is destined to come?
Haicang Base, the strongest blade in the southeastern region of the Yanhuang Republic, became the epicenter of a living nightmare when a zombie virus outbreak struck during a World Leaders Summit. Gao Huan, an elite soldier, awakens from a desperate cycle of death with a bizarre ability: whenever he is torn apart, his consciousness returns to an “anchor moment” before he was infected.
He remembers every death: his comrades' screams, his superior's rigid incompetence, a traitor's sinister grin, and the terrifying army of zombies, transformed from his former brothers-in-arms, who can coordinate their tactics... Countless struggles, countless failures. Every death brings deeper pain and despair.
This time, he won't have to fight alone. Cheng Yu, a perceptive female researcher, becomes his only ally in an endless loop. Using the precious intelligence they bought with blood and death, they devise a nearly impossible “Zero Hour Plan”: eliminate the source before the alarm sounds, gather the last loyal forces, and fight a bloody path through the fallen base to the final refuge.
But the darkness of human nature, the evolution of the zombies, and ever-present surprises make every step treacherous.
Can he break this death loop forged in blood, even if the price is... never waking again?
