    Reader note

    The first book is a realistic post-apocalyptic zombie survival novel. There are no superpowers, no spatial abilities, no evolution, no invincibility, no rebirth, and it rejects fantastical tales, aiming to create a hardcore zombie story. The apocalypse depicted in this book is dark, cruel, and desperate. There's none of the comfort, tyranny, queens, and emperors of fantasy dramas, no countless resources, and no precognitive abilities from the start. The apocalypse is like our ancestors' experience during the arduous War of Resistance Against Japan; even with their utmost effort and the annihilation of countless elite divisions, there was never any hope of victory. Only those who have walked the edge of life and death can truly understand the meaning of life. Only by living do the things you want to protect have meaning. No superpowers, no spatial abilities, no farming, no development, no harem, no leveling up, no monster fighting—it's a hardcore zombie novel. It features multiple narratives and an ensemble cast, telling numerous survival stories that unfold in the 12 hours following the outbreak of the apocalyptic crisis. In the novel, the apocalypse isn't a fairytale where the protagonist reaches the pinnacle of life and fulfills their ideals, nor is it a game where one can be reborn, have a cheat code, or a power-up system. The apocalypse is a disaster that leaves most people in despair and suffocation; it's the despair of most people who, despite their best efforts, still see no hope of survival; it's facing a city swarmed by zombies, with no safe haven in sight; it's where any temporary safety becomes the beginning of an even more severe crisis. To survive, you must constantly flee, constantly fight, and use courage and luck to fight for that glimmer of hope before dawn. The second book is about superpowers, a story of a beautiful and adventurous warrior leader hiring a beautiful female warrior team to search for treasure and adventure in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It has its own worldview, awakened talents and upgrade rules, and a group of distinctive beauties, making the post-apocalyptic adventure not lonely. The third book is a brain-teasing game with humorous twists. A loser programmer is intercepted by the White Impermanence of the Underworld when he transmigrates, directly signing him to an unequal labor contract to be a slave in his game company, specifically to design games to torture human players and collect negative energy. But Wanxing, a seasoned programmer, is not one to be manipulated. He's in charge of his own life. Watch as this programmer defies fate and hilariously transforms a hellish game company.
