Dark Forest: Starting in a Zombie Universe

What kind of sparks will fly when the Three Thousand Burning Flame meets the T-virus?

In the winter of 2010, a wormhole that split the sky open appeared above Xincheng University. Xu Wenxuan, a third-year student, witnessed the phenomenon and found a gravely wounded young man in ancient attire behind the dormitory. He was none other than Yan Emperor Xiao Yan from Battle Through the Heavens, who had transmigrated while fighting a Heavenly Flame! Meanwhile, at Dongcheng Hospital, Alice, the “female warrior” from Resident Evil, awoke in a hospital bed to find her superpowers gone. The T-virus carried by her nemesis, Wesker, had leaked onto an underground train during his escape, turning Xincheng into a sea of corpses.

As a zombie horde engulfed the campus, Xu Wenxuan fled for his life with Xiao Yan, whose Dou Qi had been depleted, on his back. At their most desperate moment, Xiao Yan used his remaining battle skills to blast a path through the zombies, only to discover that part of his Soul Origin had been left behind in this world along with the rampaging Three Thousand Burning Flame. The three of them are brought together by the apocalypse:

Xiao Yan must recover the Heavenly Flame and his soul, then tear through space to return to the Dou Qi Continent;

Alice vows to hunt down Wesker and recover the serum that can reverse the virus;

Xu Wenxuan holds the cosmology of The Three-Body Problem, making him the key that connects science fiction and fantasy.

Radiation from the Heavenly Flame mutates the zombies, leaving burning, star-like marks across their bodies, while the shadows of Soul Hall pursuers flicker in the wormhole’s cracks. When the T-virus is injected into the Heavenly Flame Origin, it unleashes waves of burning corpses and spatial distortions. Only then do humans realize that the true apocalypse isn’t 2012, but the dark forest born from the collision of two civilizations!
