From the Start, I Completely Wrecked My Four Zombie Patient Friends 开局完虐四个丧尸病友
A decisive heroine who cares only about money × a clingy, scheming green-tea hero with a hidden dark side. A steady progression story, an effective transmigration into a book, no saintly heroine, and a little bit of silliness. The heroine is the queen of the apocalypse. Using a small town as her base, she unites all of humanity across the world.
