(No System, no wish fulfillment, apocalypse + survival + human nature + technology) When familiar streets become blood-soaked hunting grounds, and neighbors you’ve known for years bare their bloodthirsty fangs
You think it’s a natural disaster, only to discover a far darker secret lurking behind it.
One email, six farewell letters, and an armory hidden beneath the ruins.
In the bitter winter of 2100, the “Flash Cough” virus swept across the globe. Seven days without symptoms, two weeks until muscle weakness, and after three weeks, humanity collapsed and brutality ran rampant. The infected had glowing red eyes and became beasts driven only to kill. The city’s order crumbled overnight, and civilization fell amid the bloodshed.
Du Zhongguo, a 23-year-old biotechnology student, received a desperate email from his grandfather, who had been missing for a month, after witnessing the horrifying murder of his neighbor’s wife. The warning had barely arrived when the apocalypse struck.

“Start it up, Zhongguo, and then... survive.”
As the virus spread like wildfire, Du Zhongguo was forced to gather his family amid the chaos: an athlete for an older brother, a software genius for a second brother, a history prodigy for a third brother, and an expert in management for an older sister. His talented relatives became the most precious resource in the apocalypse, but also attracted the most dangerous attention.
