I Livestream Zombie Battles Across All Eras

The unlimited-flow action novel next door, The Taoist Priest Catches Ghosts in a Haunted World, is currently being serialized. Give it a look! There are plenty of other stories to explore in my column, too.

Here's this story's blurb:

Lin Yisu binds to a full-time-space livestream System just before the zombie crisis breaks out. His livestream is broadcast across countless different time periods and worlds.

Passersby are bitten on the street, screams come from downstairs, zombies break into his home, and infected neighbors...

Viewers who just entered the livestream don't know what's going on, and think it's just an ordinary survival broadcast.

When a zombie breaks into the streamer's home and sees him pick up an abacus,

viewers in the livestream say: Is the streamer messing with our intelligence? Can that thing even hurt someone?

Then he smacks the zombie's head sideways with the abacus, right there on the livestream.

Viewers in the livestream say: Holy crap, I'm stunned!

Surrounded by several zombies, he gets trapped on top of a wardrobe and decides to make a run for it.

Viewers in the livestream say: If he gets out of there, I'll send the streamer a plane!

Then he leaps off the wardrobe, dashes out the door, and locks it behind him.

Viewers in the livestream say: Is the streamer a monkey or something? How the hell did that work?

System notification: [You've received the livestream's first plane.]

Lin Yisu has no idea what's going on in the livestream. After communications devices across the world completely fail, he tries to send out a distress call through the stream.

But aside from announcing achievements, the livestream System does nothing else.

The viewers watch the person pleading for help on their screens and express their doubts.

Viewer 1: This can't be real, can it?

Viewer 2: The streamer begs for help every day. This can't be scripted, can it? The scenes of zombies biting people look way too real.

Viewer 3: So what do we do? Call the police?

At last, the viewers realize this might be real. They spread the word and try to get help, only to learn that the streamer's time and space aren't the same as theirs. There's nothing they can do.

Three months after the apocalypse, Lin Yisu keeps sending out distress calls day after day, but no answer ever comes. Eventually, even the voice of the livestream System falls silent.

He realizes the livestream System may have disappeared, which means their entire world has fallen. There's nowhere left to run.

Then, on the 100th day of the apocalypse, a message comes through a battered radio: "Please protect yourselves. We're doing everything we can to break through the space-time barrier. We hope we can bring you home."

Livestream viewers: It's Professor Lu!

Lin Yisu, the survivor who wields an abacus as a weapon, x Lu Li, the frail research professor. Lin Yisu is the bottom; Lu Li is the top.

Coming soon 1: Survival at Sea, Starting from a Raft

[Welcome to the survival-at-sea game.]

[A man-eating shark has been spotted ahead. Players, get ready.]

Lin Nongchao never imagined his peaceful life would be interrupted by an unforeseen situation. A game called Survival at Sea invades the world. After a flash of white light, he wakes up on a small raft.

The ocean stretches endlessly around him. There are no people, no food, and no fresh water, only limitless seawater and a scorching sun.

The game System comes online.

[Today's supply crate has arrived.]

To stay alive, he searches for supply crates in waters full of man-eating sharks. By chance, he discovers a mermaid with a human upper body and a fish tail. The mermaid seems hungry, so he gives him a biscuit. After that, the mermaid follows him everywhere.

World chat:

Player 1: The sun is scorching. I'm going to die of heat. I wish I had an umbrella.

Random Player A: Selling a parasol, only one available. Exchange for thirty units of common supplies. DM me if you want it.

Player 2: Water! Not a single supply crate has given me any water.

Random Player A: Selling clean bottled water. One bottle for twenty units of common supplies, or you can offer something else. DM me if you want it.

Player 3: Why do all the fish in these waters eat meat? I don't even have a weapon. I'm done for.

Random Player A: Selling stone axes, first come, first served. DM me if you need one.

All players: Hey, Random Player A above, are you cheating? How come you sell everything? If you had meat, would you sell that too?

Random Player A: I have two portions of man-eating shark meat. Eating it boosts your base stats. DM me if you want some.

While all the other players struggle to survive, Lin Nongchao has already opened a shop on the world channel, with every kind of seafood, weapon, and piece of equipment imaginable.

At first, the players all want to find him. In the end, all they want is for him to stay alive longer, so they'll have someone to buy things from.

Coming soon 2: Zombie Apocalypse, Nevermore

Please add Zombie City to your favorites!

Lin Qingzhou and Jiang Ling finally get married at the age of twenty-five. Their life is going pretty well, like any other newlywed couple's, until Jiang Ling's illness grows worse and worse.

This time, they hear that there's a traditional Chinese doctor in Wei City with excellent skills, so they travel a long way by plane to see him.

They think it'll be an ordinary hospital trip, like all the previous ones, and that maybe this time he'll recover if they're lucky. But as they board the plane, an infected passenger gets on with them.

The control tower goes silent, the airport falls, and communications are cut. The whole of Wei City becomes a playground for zombies.
