Code and Dawn

When the "Nirvana" virus tore civilization apart, the world sank into silence. The infected were not mindless maniacs, but lurkers who fell into a state of apparent death and waited for the right moment to strike. Chen Yuan, a cloud computing engineer accustomed to keeping company with code, had to survive in this ruined city where all rules had vanished, relying on his logic and systems thinking.

Teaming up with Lin Wei, a former nurse, and Master Zhang, an old electrician, he set out north to find his family. But they soon discovered that the most terrifying thing was not the zombies lurking in the shadows, but the still-living human hearts beneath the sunlight. From isolated settlements of survivors to a mysterious little girl who was immune, hope and danger existed side by side. In this ultimate test of human nature, Chen Yuan had to build more than a shelter. He had to find an answer to order, civilization, and the faint glimmer of tomorrow.
