When Death Comes, Will You Have Time to React?

This is a disaster-survival epic that strikes straight to the heart and leaves readers breathless, bearing witness to humanity's most fragile and resilient light in the face of utter desperation.

Here is a specially written introduction to the novel:

A sudden underground explosion traps doctor Xu Shizhen and an unfamiliar baby deep inside a collapsed subway tunnel. Rebar pierces his left leg, and pain and blood loss are his constant companions. Ahead lies a dark abyss of unknown structure, liable to collapse again at any moment; behind him, the hospital wreckage is engulfed in flames. Cradling the crying infant and hearing desperate cries for help in the distance, he takes every step along the edge of life and death. Worse still, his cold, mocking colleague Zhou Zhenbang tells him the brutal truth: this tunnel is a living coffin, and any choice could bring ruin. As scarce life-saving pills collide with the instinct to survive, and the weight of morality bears down on his weakened shoulders, Xu Shizhen must make a soul-shattering choice in the depths of despair. This is not merely a struggle against the physical ruins, but a storm of the soul that tests the limits of human nature. Can he carry this tiny flame of life through the endless darkness of death?
