At one in the morning, construction engineer Lu Chen is working overtime at the office when a colleague suddenly mutates. The Apocalypse arrives without warning.
The city falls, order collapses, and zombies run rampant. In the depths of despair, a cold voice rings in his mind:
"Apocalypse Survival System activated. Host: Lu Chen. Level: E. First mission: survive."
Insight scans, a skill shop, a spatial backpack, genetic enhancements... The System gives him the means to rise against the odds, step by step, and the confidence to protect his companions amid the zombie hordes. From escaping alone to forming a team, from killing mutated zombies to commanding a joint defensive line, Lu Chen proves with every life-or-death decision that in the Apocalypse, the most terrifying thing isn't zombies, but human nature.
But the System isn't some gift from heaven.
His current colleague, Zhao Yan, awakens the Plunder System, which makes him stronger by devouring other people's powers and life force. A fated showdown between protection and plunder is inevitable. As zombies evolve a civilization, the Zombie Emperor nears its awakening, and the truth about the previous civilization hidden behind the System gradually comes to light, Lu Chen will ultimately face the final choice:
The System chose him not to help him survive, but to let him decide whether this world should continue to exist.
The Apocalypse descends, and divine revelation resounds. He doesn't believe in fate. He believes only in himself.
