On the third day when red mist enveloped the city, when Cheng Ye escaped the third wave of mutants behind the freezer of a convenience store, he still held in his arms the half piece of bread that his sister Cheng Xi finally gave him - that was his only thought.
The former office buildings have been reduced to mutant nests, the subway tunnels are filled with corrosive slime, and even the once-familiar streets have become a maze of murder. The neighbor he once trusted stabbed him for a half-filled bottle of water, but a strange girl handed him antibiotics when he was dying.
There is no system, no superpowers, just a rusty fire ax and my sister's instructions to "live on" in my mind. Cheng Ye knew that to escape this dead city, he not only had to escape the claws of mutants, but also survive the abyss of human nature. He has only one goal: to find the legendary safe zone in the east of the city, and live in a place with light with his sister's thoughts in mind.
