Inspired by the mystery of the Wang Gongchang explosion, a real event that took place in Beijing during the Tianqi reign of the Ming dynasty, this novel tells a Ming-era tale of a zombie outbreak.
In 1598, the twenty-sixth year of the Wanli reign, Yang Yinglong, a native chieftain in Bozhou, Sichuan, openly rebelled, and the court sent troops to suppress him. After months of fierce fighting, the rebels were finally defeated. The imperial army ventured deep into Bozhou's mountainous forests in pursuit of the rebel leader, only to encounter a terrifying and eerie "zombie army." Its "zombie soldiers" were part human and part beast, swift, immensely strong, cruel and bloodthirsty, fearless, and utterly without mercy.
As they confront this terrifying "zombie army," a world-shaking secret is gradually revealed. Across nearly five hundred years, a conspiracy threatening human civilization slowly comes to light.
