The Hard Life of Zombies in Northeast China

When the zombie apocalypse broke out, the male lead, Chen Yang, was reborn three days before the disaster. He immediately headed for his hometown in the Northeast!

Who could have guessed that the ferocious zombies from his previous life would end up as “miserable workhorses” in the Northeast? In a cornfield, muscle memory kicked in and they started picking corn, so the villagers took them home to help with the harvest. They fell into a crock of soybean paste and wrecked the sauerkraut jars? The whole village joined forces to tie them up and settle the score. Worried they might bite someone? Stuff a giant frozen pear in their mouths. Kids splashed them with water and spent ages laughing as the zombies skidded around. When they froze stiff, the kids poured hot water over them and put them back to work.

The city had even more ingenious tricks. Zombies were fitted with stainless-steel hip joints to generate power at no cost. To stay alive, people pulled every stunt imaginable, from smearing themselves with antifreeze to wearing fur coats and faking accidents for compensation.

After Chen Yang ran into the heroine, he awakened his golden finger, and the zombies became full-fledged laborers, building up the Northeast day and night.

The provincial capital even opened an “Ice and Snow World Zombie Park.” The good-looking zombies were frozen into ice sculptures, while the ugly ones were sent to stoke the boilers. The park made money at no cost and became a huge hit.

Before long, zombie workers were in short supply. Skilled jobs started recruiting, zombies who could put on a show livestreamed to draw in viewers, and adopting zombie children became the latest craze.

Refugees from the South flocked north, and southern zombies came too, drawn by its fame and bringing their own “black bandage nutritional solution.”

The Northeast was booming, and the male lead’s powers erupted. Not only did he wipe out the tyrant of the western base and seize high-level crystal cores to massively boost his strength, he also opened a nationwide supply route to the Northeast, throwing the gates wide to welcome little potatoes from all over…

The Northeast became the apocalypse’s dream refuge, a place everyone longed to reach!

Thanks to the hard work of the laborers and the zombie army, the Northeast’s economy kept rising, and housing prices soared…

The worst off were the kids of the Northeast, forced to compete with top students from everywhere. Even the college entrance exam cutoff scores shot up…

A feel-good, unpretentious apocalyptic story set in the Northeast.
