In the seventh year of the zombie apocalypse, Shen Yan cleared the last wave of zombies and sat alone on a rooftop all night.
People were impossible to read, and the killing never stopped. Being alive had long since become a form of torture. He dismantled his gun and leapt from the thirty-seventh floor.
When he opened his eyes again, he had entered the world of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles and bound himself to a System. It had only one mission: survive.
Shen Yan planned to coast through life, treating it as a casual side quest. But then he witnessed it with his own eyes
Wu Xie knew full well that the road ahead meant almost certain death, yet he never abandoned a companion; Fatty cursed as he gripped his shovel, but whenever danger struck, he was always the first to shield his brothers; Zhang Qiling was silent as a monument, always standing quietly in the most dangerous place when trouble came.
And then there was Black Glasses.
That man could always see through the exhaustion beneath Shen Yan’s playful act. Whenever his mask was about to crack, he would casually hand him a cigarette and murmur, “Take a break.”
Shen Yan held the cigarette and gazed at the faces illuminated by the campfire.
Something was quietly stirring in the cracks of his heart, frozen for years.
Maybe living another life wasn’t so bad after all.
