"We have no system, no powers, only the instinct to survive."
On the seventh day of the zombie outbreak, the city fell into deathly silence. Xie Mingyuan, an outdoor equipment store owner, looked at the figures wandering outside the window and wrote the first rule of survival in his notebook: Trust is a luxury, and he is now so poor that he doesn't even know where tomorrow's food will be.
This is not a legend of a hero's awakening, but an epic of mortal struggle.
When civilization collapsed within a week - the power grid went out, water sources were polluted, and roads turned into graveyards, 29-year-old retired scout Xie Mingyuan had to rely on the most primitive skills to survive: using trekking poles to transform spears, using rainwater collectors to fight thirst, and counting the rhythm of footsteps and heartbeats during every search for supplies. From being alone, he met nurse Chu Xinyue and engineer Meng Changhe, and formed a team of scarred survivors.
They traveled through the city that had been reduced to hell, looking for the safe zone promised by the government. However, after going through a migration path paved with flesh and blood, they found that the so-called refuge had long been occupied. On the night when hope was shattered, Xie Mingyuan made a decision that changed everyone's destiny: "If there is no safe zone in this world, we will build one ourselves."
