[Blurb]

Ten years after the zombie outbreak, zombies have mutated and even evolved intelligence. Zombie leaders have emerged, while humans have developed special abilities and established safe zones.

But Zhou Yunling wakes up in an uninhabited place with no memories at all.

Luckily, she gets bound to a System called Survive 365 Days.

[Warm reminder: A cold front will move south in three days, bringing heavy rain and a sharp drop in temperature. When the temperature falls below 10 degrees, the chance of getting sick rises dramatically. Please prepare accordingly.]

Zhou Yunling looks at her temporary shelter, stripped bare by looters. A cold wind blows through, and she can't help sneezing.

She pulls out her beginner's gift pack to test her luck.

She tests her luck and gets doomed.

[Congratulations! You have received the following rewards:

Cold medicine granules x5

Infrared thermometer x1

Water cup with a damaged bottom x1]

Zhou Yunling: ...Is getting a cold really unavoidable?

Content warnings:

1. Survival through using items, with some stockpiling

2. There is a male lead. He is not perfect and has flaws. He appears late, and the romance is subtle.

3. Daily updates. I'll post a notice if anything comes up.

Everyday Life After Becoming a Zombie. Add it to your favorites if you're interested~

My name is A Ren. I was a first-year college student when I was alive. If anyone asks what it feels like to become a zombie...

I'd say your limbs get stiff and you move slowly. Oh, and in hot weather, you might start to stink of decay, so you have to stay clean, uh, maybe stay fresh?

Anyway, even after becoming a zombie, you still have to shower regularly!

[Scene One]

One day in the zombie apocalypse, a team searching for supplies spots a bluish-white zombie riding a little electric scooter down a ruined highway in the distance. A washbasin, a towel, and body wash are on the back seat, and they can faintly hear a slightly off-key tune.

Everyone: ?

A Ren silently puts on a helmet, turns around, and rides away.

Everyone: ???

[Scene Two]

A team searching for supplies goes to a high-risk area to look for food. Suddenly, they see smoke rising from a chimney in the distance. They sneak over, thinking it might be survivors, only to see a blue-green zombie cooking with a spatula.

Everyone: ???

A Ren's little dog, Xiao Bi, starts barking when it smells strangers, drawing A Ren's attention.

In the apocalypse, humans don't pass up food when they find it.

When a zombie stands in front of a pot of delicious, steaming hot food, the outcome is inevitable.

After much agonizing, A Ren finally chooses to negotiate instead of running away or fighting back.

A Ren raises both hands in surrender: I made this dog food. You can have some if you don't mind, but could you leave a little for Xiao Bi?

Xiao Bi: Woof woof woof!

Everyone on the team: ...? The zombies have become sentient!
