When Lin Jin wakes up, he discovers that he has become the lowest of the low: a walking corpse in the apocalypse.
No System, no special abilities, only broken memories and an instinct to devour.
Along the thorny road of evolution, he devours everything, recovering his intelligence from decay and rebuilding his body amid mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
He takes in a learned female doctor, welcomes a defector skilled at reading people, tames shadow-bound servants, and even makes the Corpse King bow to him.
Yet the zombie virus is no natural disaster. It is a cold “evolutionary catalyst” created by an interstellar civilization, and Earth is nothing but a giant petri dish.
When humanity's leaders regard him as the ultimate threat and the shadow of alien “Harvesters” looms over the stars, Lin Jin can only devour more and evolve faster if he is to fight his way to survival in this apocalyptic world ruled by the law of the dark forest.
