Are You Dead? App: A New Order Has Been Pushed to You

Jiang Zhi, a former captain of the criminal police, transmigrates to a wasteland world and becomes a fifth-class citizen, the lowest rank. To earn a wage, she has no choice but to dispose of corpses.

A set of coordinates, a corpse, a countdown. The job begins.

Jiang Zhi picks up her toolbox, hooks an iron hook to her belt, enters the radiation zone, and crawls through underground passages that could collapse at any moment. She finds corpses that have yet to grow cold, drags them back, cleans them up, dresses them decently, and either burns or buries them as required.

People call her a cleaner.

She cleans up corpses like garbage.

Jiang Zhi pays them no mind. In this radiation-filled world, the dead really are garbage. It’s just that some garbage can talk.

Her supernatural ability is Death Echo. By touching a corpse, she can hear the last sounds it left behind. One person was electrocuted, another buried alive. This corpse had its parts scavenged, while that one was poisoned.

Jiang Zhi cleaned up three corpses. They had no connection to one another, yet the sounds of all three deaths called out her name. After looking into it, she discovered that each of the victims had searched for information about one person: her.

Jiang Zhi began investigating, and the deeper she dug, the stranger things became.

When she connected the coordinates of the victims into a line, they all pointed in the same direction. And before they died, all those seemingly unrelated victims had encountered the same thing: [The Dead Yet? App]

[Ding! The Dead Yet? App has sent you a new order.]

Jiang Zhi opened it. The corpse at the coordinates was her own.
