    The first book is a realistic post-apocalyptic zombie survival novel. There are no superpowers, no spatial abilities, no evolution, no invincibility, no rebirth—it rejects the fantastical elements of typical zombie dramas, aiming for a hardcore zombie story. No evolution, no monster battles; it's about carving out a dawn from despair. The post-apocalyptic world depicted in this book is dark, cruel, and hopeless. There's none of the comfort, dominance, queens, and emperors of fantasy dramas, no countless resources, 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, they could never see 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. The second book is a humorous and imaginative story about a loser programmer who, upon transmigrating, is intercepted by the White Impermanence of the Underworld. He's immediately forced into an unequal labor contract, becoming a slave to his game company, specifically tasked with designing games to torment 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.

    Reader note

    This is a great story with a captivating plot, featuring a protagonist whose development is slow in the early stages, consistent throughout the middle, and a rapid, explosive leap in the later stages, with the protagonist's character experiencing a meteoric rise. While some details may be skipped, they don't significantly impact the overall narrative; the author has crafted excellent plot twists. Definitely worth reading!
