The protagonist Lin Zhanxiang is a barber who works in a hairdressing shop in a neighboring city with his friend Guo Dazhi, who is from the same hometown. The two live in a rough house rented by the boss at a low price.
On the night of December 21, 2014, while the two were sleeping in the dormitory, the whole house started to shake. When the two woke up, the people on the street seemed to be going crazy. They all bared their teeth and claws, running fast and attacking pedestrians on the roadside.
Seeing this chaotic scene, the two quickly returned to their dormitory and learned from TV that a meteor shower on the night of December 21 affected the entire earth. According to expert research, meteorites can emit a gas that is harmful to the human body. This is a vicious virus that can be transmitted through the air and infect any living thing. Human immunity is particularly fragile when facing this virus, and 70% of the world's people have been infected. The infected people are so crazy that they will launch crazy attacks on any normal people or animals they see.

During the search for food, the two rescued a girl named Kuang Xiaoli, and she was the object of Guo Dazhi's heart. The three found some weapons and a police car at a police station, and their journey home to survive in the apocalypse officially began...
