When the zombie apocalypse hit, everyone else was screaming and running for their lives. Yang Xushen, a civil engineering whiz, quietly pulled out his blueprints. This ruined world was ready for some serious renovation.

Three months later, Yang Xushen, holed up in a bank vault he'd converted into a safehouse, met medical student Bo Qingyu, who was dissecting an infected person with a fire ax. Her expression was calm. "Team up? I'll treat wounds, you build shelters."

And so the apocalypse's strangest duo came into being: one carried a structural mechanics handbook everywhere, while the other's backpack was stuffed with homemade disinfectant. One used formulas to calculate their chances of survival; the other relied on instinct to judge how badly a wound was infected.

"According to my calculations, our chance of survival increases by 37% if we form an alliance."

"But there's a 63% chance your wound is infected. Lie down first."

From abandoned warehouses to underground utility tunnels, from bank vaults to mysterious laboratories, they uncovered the deepest secret behind the apocalypse: the infected walking around seemed to follow some unnatural pattern, while beneath the chemical plant in the northern district came a mechanical rumbling more unsettling than the zombies' snarls.

Bo Qingyu's determination to find her missing family collided with Yang Xushen's resolve to find his sister. Reason and emotion struggled to coexist amid the ruins of the apocalypse, and the living who still retained their "sanity" were always more frightening than the zombies.

When the construction tycoon's blueprints meet the medical newbie's anatomy charts, survival in the apocalypse takes a decidedly unusual turn.
