Survival in the Apocalypse: from Security Guard to Base Guardian

The zombie virus suddenly broke out and the city fell overnight. My name is Chen Ye, and I work as a night shift security guard in a supermarket. I have watched people fall and mutate one by one with my own eyes. The streets were full of living dead wandering around, biting and eating people, and the world they once knew completely collapsed. Later I learned that the virus was called "Ashes" and was spread through saliva and blood. The incubation period was so short that it turned into a zombie within a few hours. A few survivors and I fled to the suburbs, built a temporary camp based on abandoned factories, and slowly developed into a doomsday base city - iron walls, sentry towers, generators, everything was plucked from the ruins. I wrote down every day in my diary: who died, where the supplies were found, how to avoid the tide of corpses... Until that day, I rescued a besieged girl in an abandoned hospital. She was the college beauty Pei Zhao, calm and stubborn, and became a core member of the base. We struggled to survive all the way, from escaping to fighting back, and finally established a safe zone, sending signals to the outside world, looking for the possibility of ending this apocalypse.
