Jiang Changle died. She'd been dead for a very long time, so long that she couldn't remember how long.
Before her corpse could rot, someone turned her into a zombie. From then on, she would never decay.
Jiang Changle was a zombie who liked to take it easy. She lay in her coffin for who knew how many years.
When she awoke again, the world had changed beyond recognition. Jiang Changle pushed open the coffin and found that the carefully chosen auspicious burial site was now completely unrecognizable.
Rotten corpses like her walked across the springy, dark red ground.
Humans in strange clothes dragged her along as they ran, babbling in a language she couldn't understand.
Later, Jiang Changle found out what had happened.
She'd slept through a thousand years. A zombie virus had broken out, and humanity was on the brink of extinction.
To save all of humanity, the superpowered would join forces to search for a possible "cure."
A "cure" that could turn zombies back into humans.
Perhaps also a "cure" that could bring Jiang Changle back to life as a human.

Bonus scene:
The superpowered gathered in a safe zone, while refugees sought shelter.
Everyone had to contribute something to earn a place in the safe zone, either by going out to exterminate zombies or by providing support inside.
The person in charge of registration stared at the "old, young, sick, and disabled" team before him, and asked again, conscientiously, "Are you saying all of you want to join the zombie-clearing squad?"
The elderly woman, missing two teeth, nodded.
The high school students, still childish, nodded.
Jiang Changle, pale-faced, nodded and nudged the person beside her.
The deaf man slowly nodded.

In short:
The main cast includes an armed elderly woman, high schoolers with all kinds of tricks up their sleeves, a zombie heroine who looks weak, pitiful, and helpless, and a deaf man who is also a nurturing dad and knows a little martial arts.
More or less, it's a story about high schoolers busy saving the world while the heroine is busy trying to come back to life.
Plot and romance ratio: 6:4. The woman is stronger than the man.
