The apocalypse has arrived, and the spark of civilization is about to go out. Yet even in the darkness, a faint glimmer remains. Those tiny glimmers can come together to form a new spark and drive away the dark.
The end times came, and the cities fell.
Chen Mo, an ordinary twenty-seven-year-old office worker, was dragged out of a pile of corpses by his neighbor, Brother Wang, a veteran who ran a convenience store.
The two of them, armed with a cleaver and a wrench, put down roots in an old apartment building.
Later, they rescued a seven-year-old girl, then found her grandfather, a former soldier, in a corner of a wholesale store.
Five people, one dog.
They had no superpowers, no arsenal, and even what they would eat tomorrow depended on what they could carry back, one bag at a time. But they had one thought: survive. And never leave their own behind.
This is a story about ordinary people rebuilding their lives in the apocalypse.
Not a power fantasy. A light ensemble story, mainly about ordinary people. The protagonist grows over time, little by little.
