A zombie disaster swept across the globe, shattering human civilization overnight.
A Rui and Luoz, an ordinary couple, were both infected on the first night of the outbreak. A Rui endured the transformation through a high fever and gained superhuman strength, but from then on he teetered on the edge between humanity and savagery. And Luoz...
She didn't mutate, and she didn't wake up.
She fell into a profound coma unlike anything anyone had ever seen. Her temperature dropped day by day, her skin turned as pale as porcelain, and her breathing grew so faint it was almost nonexistent. But she was still alive. Stranger still, a mysterious blue crystal core formed inside her, glowing with a cold, dim light through her skin.
That crystal core was the zombies' obsession.
They followed her scent over mountains and through valleys, converged into raging hordes just to get close to her, and whimpered hungrily every night because of her presence. They wanted to tear her open, devour her, and take that crystal core...
Because it was the key to evolution.
Carrying his comatose lover, A Rui became the loneliest guardian in this post-apocalyptic world. Cities, wilderness, ruins: he crossed one dead city after another, evading the zombies that hunted him and the schemes of his fellow humans. He had to find a place, somewhere that could explain all of this, somewhere that could make Luoz open her eyes again.
He didn't know what would happen when Luoz's temperature dropped to zero.
He didn't know whether the crystal core was consuming her life or nurturing a new one.
