It's not a traditional zombie-themed post-apocalyptic novel; this one features an alien monster invasion, and the protagonist encounters a different monster in each new place. Each monster has different abilities, but the way they appear and the atmosphere they create are truly terrifying. It's like watching a horror movie; the images automatically come to mind.

    In the brutal world of a zombie apocalypse, passion and hope intertwine. In the first book, the protagonist is an ordinary young man who, after the zombie outbreak, grows stronger through adversity thanks to his inherent stubbornness and fearlessness. He leads a group of survivors, from initially fleeing aimlessly to gradually establishing a fortified stronghold. Facing the relentless onslaught of zombie hordes, they do not back down, forging a defense line with their blood and using their wisdom to resolve crises. The other book begins in a city where a zombie virus is rapidly spreading. The protagonist's team consists of people from all walks of life, with diverse personalities but a shared belief—to save humanity. They traverse the ruins, engaging in a life-or-death struggle against various mutated zombies. In this process, some are injured, some sacrifice themselves, but their passion never cools. Every perilous situation, every thrilling battle, allows readers to feel the resilience and indomitable spirit of humanity in the face of the apocalypse; passion surges between the lines.

    Reader note

    The most realistic post-apocalyptic novel I've ever read: a natural disaster, no reincarnation, no system, no romantic partner, just a spatial ability. The protagonist only starts stockpiling supplies after the apocalypse, grows stronger, and strives to fight against it. He has friends but lives alone, becoming increasingly powerful later on and helping rebuild the base.
