The eighteenth day of freshman year.
Chi Lan is eating at the cafeteria with her new roommate.
Her beautiful, sweet-voiced new roommate suddenly goes berserk. Chi Lan keeps her head down and digs in, but when she looks up again, a bloody maw is lunging straight at her.
With a crunch, Chi Lan's brains splatter everywhere.
The zombie apocalypse has begun.
Chi Lan is reborn.
She returns to three minutes before the zombie outbreak.
In her second life, Chi Lan chooses not to believe or spread rumors, only to be bitten to death by her roommate all over again.
In her third life, Chi Lan vows to mend her ways. Grinding her teeth, she swears to take back everything that belongs to her. She'll beat the zombies, teach her roommate a lesson, and throw right and left hooks...!
She leaps up from the table and snatches the janitor's broom. Her classmates jump in fright and whisper about what kind of lunatic just showed up.
Chi Lan swings the broom at her roommate, but then the janitor opens her mouth too.
Chi Lan's brains explode for the second time.
She suddenly realizes that every last one of you bastards is a zombie.
Chi Lan: Damn it!
Reborn for the fourth time, Chi Lan dashes out of the cafeteria... only to be crushed to death by a zombie falling from a building.
In her fifth life, her human classmates play dirty, steal her supplies, and kill her.
In her sixth life, Chi Lan grabs hold of a cool, aloof college guy.
His gaze is clear, and he stays calm in the face of danger.
Chi Lan, like a deranged madwoman, forces a kind smile.
"Hey, do you believe the zombie apocalypse is coming?"
"..."
Reborn for the Nth time,
Chi Lan grabs the cool, aloof guy's hand and asks weakly,
"Pei Yanguang, do you believe the zombie apocalypse is coming?"
The cool, aloof guy is silent for a moment, then answers solemnly.
"I believe you."

There are countless ways to die in a zombie world. You can die of hunger, infection, or betrayal by your own kind. You can die from ignorance or weakness. You can die from staying silent.
Of course,
you can also die from kindness and hope.
You can die from love.
The story of an ordinary person saving the world through repeated rebirths.
