    Reader note

    The first one is a hard-core zombie novel about survival in the apocalypse, with no space, no superpowers, no hoarding, and no rebirth. Multiple story lines describe the real doomsday. The real doomsday is far from as relaxing as in the drama. Instead, you feel the endless despair in the darkness. The kind of despair that even if you try your best, you still can't see the hope of survival. The kind of despair that you can't do anything about watching your friends, family and loved ones die at the mouth of zombies. The kind of despair that after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to be reunited, you have to execute the infected children with your own hands. Darkness and despair are the eternal themes of the apocalypse. This is not a colorful fairy tale without the blessing of supernatural powers and the rebirth of the enemy. If you want to fight a bloody road before dawn, you must become the luckiest and most tenacious person. The second book is a game of imagination and hilarious twists. The setting is not the traditional self-pleasure in the world of netizens, but an interpretation of each game from the perspective of game designers and programmers, turning bugs into god-level game mechanics, turning junk games into classic hits, and watching how programmers complete counterattacks and successfully escape from the underworld.
