This novel combines elements of the apocalypse, traditional martial arts, and exploration.
Zombies can mutate, but they do not evolve. Ordinary people can also handle mutated zombies with the help of weapons.
Traditional martial arts have three types of power: Ming, An, and Hua. They are simply three ways of generating force, not a ranking where An is stronger than Ming.
The exploration later in the story will take us to human-inaccessible areas such as Shennongjia and the Valley of Death in the Kunlun Mountains, as well as out to sea. Zombies will also swarm into these forbidden zones.
The protagonist will remain sensible, neither self-righteous nor cruel.
Weapon: three-pointed double-edged spear.
The protagonist is just an ordinary college student. He has a certain sense of justice, as people naturally do, though his is not very strong.
(In this novel, zombie poison is spread through saliva. Being scratched does not infect you.)
(There are zombies on the streets, but they are relatively sparse and quiet. Unless a specific location is overrun by a large horde, most zombies are trapped inside houses and cannot get out. Even at schools, most zombies are locked in dormitories.)
(A small number of zombies have brains that were not completely destroyed and retain the intelligence of a three-to-five-year-old. A very rare few have a kind of animal cunning, but are still less intelligent than humans. They can feel pain, and the mutated ones are more like beasts and less resilient than ordinary zombies.)
