Survival in the Apocalypse: The Devouring System and the Iceberg Goddess

The apocalypse arrives without warning. Zombies run rampant, plants and animals mutate, and human society collapses in an instant. Qin Feng, a low-level wage earner, awakens the [Infinite Devouring System] at the brink of life and death. The System lets him strengthen himself and gain abilities by devouring the cores of zombies and mutant beasts. Even more outrageously, once he meets certain conditions, he can devour anything, including his opponents' abilities, weapons, luck, and even their relationships and emotional bonds.

At the start of the story, Qin Feng clashes fiercely in his struggle to survive with Su Muxue, an "ice-cold goddess" from a family of military officers whose combat rating is S-rank. In a desperate situation, Qin Feng risks completing a System mission and uses Concept Devouring for the first time. He devours part of Su Muxue's "hostility" toward him and turns it into "curiosity," setting them on a path from bitter enemies who love to fight to comrades fighting side by side.

Qin Feng uses the System's immense power to go from a lone wolf struggling to survive to building his own faction, Dawn City. He gathers talent from all walks of life and meets twin sisters Lin Wanqing and Lin Wanyue, one a skilled pharmacist and the other gifted with powerful psychic abilities. He leads his team in establishing order in the wasteland, fighting zombie hordes and terrifying mutant beast kings, while matching wits with other survivor bases harboring ulterior motives, evil ability-user organizations, and cheaters who have returned reborn. As he devours more and more, his strength continues to grow, and he gradually uncovers the shocking secret behind the apocalypse. In the end, he faces the mastermind responsible for it all in a final battle.
