A College Wage Slave Shovels Corpses in the Apocalypse

Blurb The night before, Jiang Ziyao had been watching the New Year fireworks festival. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by rolling white fog, as if the area had just been through a fierce firefight. The strong stench of blood. Monsters roaming the roads. He had transmigrated, and so had his boyfriend, Huo Chi. They were now in a wasteland world. Ocean pollution had caused biological mutations, and viruses spread through the food chain until the world collapsed. Humanity had become prey. In a struggle where they were utterly outmatched, people awakened special abilities to carve out a slim chance of survival in a lawless world. Rumor had it that the ability-user organization known as the Enforcers had built a safe base, raising a high wall against the monsters. They had established Utopia, the only safe base known to humanity. After suddenly entering this “world,” Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi’s genes changed too. But Jiang Ziyao’s genetic chain gave him a shovel. That’s right, a shovel. Jiang Ziyao: ... Where was the golden finger every transmigrator was supposed to get? Later... Jiang Ziyao, flipping his shovel with practiced ease: “A shovel’s not so bad, actually.” Professional corpse-shoveling: an essential skill for an overworked end-times survivor. There were clues embedded in this unfamiliar world. He seemed to be an NPC who triggered key information, causing prophetic text to appear. That was how he discovered that there were multiple protagonists in this world. There was the end-times leveling-up male lead, the revenge-driven female lead, the melodramatic pure-love male lead, and, most importantly, a major villain who had destroyed the world in a prophecy of the future. Civilization had already fallen. Survivors fought only to stay alive. There were surprise attacks by mutated species, a deranged cannibal organization, protagonists running wild in every direction... As a passerby, how was he supposed to survive? The survivors: “Nonsense! You’re the savior!” A passerby, and someone’s moonlight. As for that high-risk BOSS... While Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi were desperately trying to survive, they accidentally came face-to-face with the villain. When he saw the villain himself, Jiang Ziyao was astonished. “Two Huo Chis?” His boyfriend had doubled. Did he have to become a master of keeping both sides happy? The three of us should focus on living well. That’s more important than anything. [A cool, clever, strong top who gradually learns to handle things with ease × a hot-tempered, double-standard puppy-like bottom who’s both strong and handsome / a mad, scheming major villain bottom] [Top: 22. Bottom: 21 / 34. Older bottom, with younger-bottom content too.] [Content warnings: 1. The characters are not perfect. They grow from nothing, so there’s room for development. They’re neither self-sacrificing saints nor cold-blooded, so please don’t pigeonhole them. The older and younger Huo Chi are the same person. The 33-year-old bottom is renamed Huo Chi. 2. The main couple is strictly one-to-one, with two strong leads. The older bottom appears later in the story. They become one again at the end, while retaining both personalities. 3. The setting is entirely fictional. Don’t draw parallels with reality or judge the characters by real-world morality.] Theme: The future is full of promise, and the road ahead shines bright!
