The day the world became a wasteland, Su Wan lost her status as a human.
A zombie bit her. Her body rotted, and her consciousness faded away.
But she never forgot Lin Feng.
She remembered being his childhood sweetheart.
She remembered how, on the day they graduated high school, he held her hand and said they would go to college together.
She remembered how, in their rented apartment, he cried as he tied her up, terrified of hurting her.
So she split open a zombie's skull with her own hands and swallowed her first crystal core.
From white crystals to green, from blue to purple, from orange to crimson gold.
She grew more beautiful, more intelligent, and more like a perfect human.
But she also drew closer and closer to the truth:
The highest-level zombies lose their former selves completely.
To stay by Lin Feng's side, she had to devour crystal cores while holding on to her memories.
When she finally stood at the summit of the apocalypse, humanity began to fear her.
They called her a monster.
But only Lin Feng knew that all she wanted was to become the girl who used to smile and hold his hand.
Su Wan asked him softly:
“If one day I stop being human altogether, will you still love me?”
Lin Feng gazed at her impossibly perfect face, his voice hoarse:
“No matter what you become, I'll love you.”
