   This is my first novel. I kept having dreams about zombies and the apocalypse, some of which were even interconnected, so I decided to write one. Like a self-promoting vendor, I think it's pretty good. This novel is a pure post-apocalyptic zombie story; there's no time travel, rebirth, superpowers, or protagonist halo. After all, I died several times in my dreams. I feel that zombie novels should be like this. It's like TikTok and TikTok Lite. Even though you can earn a dollar or two a day by scrolling through TikTok, the original purpose is different. If I were to write about superpowers or other unrealistic elements, I'd be really uncomfortable. Anyway, if you like this novel, please support it. Thank you everyone. The first few chapters of this kind of novel are mostly uninteresting. It's basically about a zombie virus outbreak, the protagonist being trapped in his home, and all he can do is tidy up and collect supplies. It's not like a rebirth novel where he starts with tons of supplies. So, I hope you can get through the first few chapters. I will seriously write about the most important aspects of this type of novel: humanity, action, and other plot elements, striving for realism. Sweet dreams to everyone!

    I'd still recommend my own work. It's niche, without outrageous plot points or cheat codes. The protagonist is an ordinary person who makes mistakes, but it's detailed and logical. And here's a little spoiler: there's a big surprise and Easter egg later on.

    The People's Army serves the people, departing from the previous portrayal of military and police inaction after an apocalyptic outbreak. The government deploys forces to stabilize the situation immediately upon the disaster's occurrence. The characters of the People's Police and the People's Army are depicted quite realistically, and the weaponry is described in a particularly hardcore manner.
