[Defend the City for National Fortune + Xiangxi Corpse Driving + Folk Traditions + Fighting Back Against the Corpse Tide]
After failing the college entrance exam... Xia Zijie gets kicked by his grandfather straight into an old mortuary in Xiangxi!
Instead of retaking the exam, he heads to the national fortune battlefield with a coffin on his back!
Global resources are running out. Nine nations must defend their cities, and if a city falls, its nation is wiped out in the real world!
The White Eagle Nation sends elite soldiers, Japan sends a sword saint, and Northern Europe sends a mechanical knight...
But China sends corpse drivers, coffin bearers, paper burners, gravediggers, and an old blue-black coffin!
The whole internet is stunned: Is this a city defense force, or a funeral procession doing business overseas?!
But nobody knows that the pair of ancestral treasures in Xia Zijie's hands are no ordinary tools.
[Corpse-Subduing Bell] When rung, it can call upon the lingering will to fight of the dead!
[Map of the Yin Road] When opened, it can guide corpse soldiers into formation and use the Yin Road to secure the battlefield!
As the first wave of corpses bears down, the entire internet expects China to be wiped out...
He rings the bell, and ten thousand corpses rise as one, turning on the monster army!
When the second wave of flying bone beasts arrives, he drives a nail into the earth's ley lines, dragging the entire battlefield into a river of darkness!
When elite monsters charge the city in the third wave, he carries the coffin outside. His face deathly pale, he looks up and says only:
“The living guard the world of the living. The dead guard the Yin Road.”
The cool-headed observer, Lin Zhaoshuang, pushes up her glasses and murmurs, “Xia Zijie, are you defending the city... or opening a gate?”
And inside that increasingly heavy blue-black coffin, the heartbeat grows clearer and clearer!
While the whole world thinks China has nobody left, Xia Zijie has the dead keep fighting for the land!
But the more he opens the Yin Road, the less he seems alive.
When that coffin finally awakens, will I, standing at the gate... still be human?
