He died in the tenth year of the apocalypse.
With zombies on the rampage and mutant creatures running wild, Ye Chen had fought his way through the ruins of human civilization with the psychic powers he had awakened. After ten years of killing, he thought death was the end. When he awoke, he was in the body of a six-year-old boy.
His mother was He Lu, his father Ye Shirong, and his sister Ye Cunxin. He knew those names. He had watched the TV series Special Forces: Phoenix. This wasn't the apocalypse. It was a world he thought existed only on a screen.
The sunshine was lovely in this era of peace, but the fire of the apocalypse still burned in Ye Chen's eyes.

By night, he was a legend on the dark web, feared by countless people.
He had wanted a peaceful life. He wanted to protect the family that had given him a second chance at life.

And he was the only one who knew what the end of the world looked like…
