Gunsmith in the Apocalypse: From Air Guns to Firearms

In the autumn of 2010, a mysterious epidemic, mistaken for the flu, sweeps across the globe. When the infected collectively turn into bloodthirsty walking corpses, Liu Mingyuan, a twenty-one-year-old college student, discovers that he was already prepared. The three-story house his parents built becomes his fortress, and the skills he spent years honing with air guns, crossbows, and outdoor survival are no longer “a waste of time,” as others once said. As the forum moderator known as “Ye Zhiqiu” in the Air Gun Forum, he knows the ins and outs of weapons. But when hordes of zombies surge in and his pellets and crossbow bolts begin to run out, Liu Mingyuan realizes that quiet, precise pneumatic weapons can no longer meet the demands of the apocalypse. He must make the dangerous leap from air power to firearms, using limited tools and knowledge to modify and build weapons capable of tearing through the zombie hordes. In this struggle for survival amid the collapse of civilization, his fortress, his craftsmanship, and the resilience of a loner will all face unprecedented trials. And the first challenge he must overcome may be learning to think like the apocalypse while holding on to his humanity.
