Doomsday Descends: I Build a Fortress and Farm in My Hometown

In 2025, the “Rage” virus, unleashed by a laboratory leak, swept across the globe, turning those it infected into mindless, flesh-eating living corpses. Within just a few months, civilization collapsed and cities became hell on earth.

Yi Xiaofan, an ordinary office worker, received warnings in his dreams from his deceased grandfather three months before the apocalypse. Thinking it was better to be safe than sorry, he persuaded his family, quit his job without hesitation, and returned with all his savings to his ancestral home on the edge of the mountains. His family initially couldn’t understand, but at his insistence, his parents, his older sister Yi Xiaoling, his younger sister Yi Xiaoyue, and his girlfriend Su Muxue all eventually came back to the old family home.

When the apocalypse truly arrived, communications went down, the power grid failed, and zombies roamed everywhere, the Yi family’s ancestral home had already become a sturdy fortress. Inside the high walls, everyone had a clearly defined role: his father, Yi Jianguo, handled security and equipment maintenance; his mother, Wang Shuhui, managed supplies and food storage; his older sister, Yi Xiaoling, a former nurse, took charge of medical care; and his younger sister, Yi Xiaoyue, quick-witted and lively, helped with various tasks and kept everyone’s spirits up.

They had to face not only the threats of increasingly evolved zombies beyond the walls and other survivors waiting for a chance to strike, but also learn to become truly self-sufficient within them: growing crops and vegetables, raising poultry, and making use of natural resources... In this apocalyptic world, Yi Xiaofan and his family must do more than survive. They must rediscover the meaning of life itself and protect the last sparks of human civilization. This is a long war for survival, family, love, and hope.
