Doomsday Powers: I Tame Zombies and Revitalize the Northeast

The zombie apocalypse breaks out. Three days before the disaster, the male lead, Chen Yang, is reborn and makes a beeline for his hometown in the Northeast! Who could have guessed that the terrifying zombies from his previous life would become such pathetic workhorses in the Northeast? They trigger their corn-picking muscle memory in the fields and get taken home by villagers to help with the autumn harvest. Fall into a crock of fermented soybean paste and wreak havoc in the pickle jars? The whole village rushes over to tie them up and settle the score. Worried they'll bite someone? Stuff a frozen pear in their mouths. Kids splash them with water and laugh as they slide around on the ice, then pour hot water over them once they're frozen stiff so they can get back to work. The city has even better tricks. Zombies are strapped into stainless-steel hip joints to generate electricity for free. To survive, people coat themselves in antifreeze, wear fur coats, and stage outrageous scams. After Chen Yang runs into the heroine, he awakens a golden finger, and the zombies become a full-fledged labor force, building up the Northeast day and night. The provincial capital sets up a Zombie Snow and Ice Wonderland. The good-looking zombies get sprayed with water and turned into ice sculptures; the ugly ones are sent to stoke the boilers. It's a huge hit and brings in money at no cost. Soon, demand for zombie labor outstrips supply. Skilled workers are recruited, zombies who can perform start livestreaming to attract viewers, and adopting zombie children becomes the latest trend. Refugees from the south flock north, and southern zombies come too, drawn by the region's reputation. They even bring their own special "black-bandage nutrition solution." The Northeast thrives, and the male lead's abilities explode. He not only wipes out the tyrants at the western base and seizes high-grade crystal cores to boost his power, but also opens a nationwide transport route to the Northeast, welcoming little potatoes from every corner of the country with open arms... The Northeast becomes the apocalypse's paradise, a place everyone dreams of reaching! Thanks to the hard work of the people and the zombie army, the Northeast's economy keeps rising, and housing prices skyrocket... The ones who suffer most are the kids of the Northeast, crushed by competition from top students across the country as the college entrance exam cutoff scores keep climbing... A pure Northeastern power fantasy, with no horror or melodrama.
