Ye Cheng, a poor kid from the mountains, is a problem student in his teachers’ eyes and a “hoodlum” to his classmates. Fighting is second nature to him, and being broke is part of everyday life. When the apocalypse erupts, all he has is a rusty switchblade and a head full of streetwise tricks. His experience skipping class by climbing walls becomes the perfect way to evade zombies, while his toughness from street brawls gives him the grit to survive.
Su Qingyue is a legend in the finance department and the campus beauty everyone agrees is the best-looking girl in school. She comes from a wealthy family, excels in her studies, and has fair skin, stunning looks, and long legs that stand out in high heels.
