[Wasteland, ensemble cast, ordinary people, a people-centered view of history]
Three years after the zombie outbreak, people have built skyscrapers amid the ruins and established humanity’s first safe zone. From then on, history enters the “Post-Catastrophe Era.”
Children born in this era can neither see the past nor make out the future. They can only let their parents push them along, take the civil service exam, find a stable job, and live a secure life.
Yang Huazhi was just one among the countless people living this way.
Her advisor tells her, “You have a great eye for data. You’ll make an excellent programmer. Why not stay here after you graduate and join Oasis Technology?”
She shakes her head. “No. My family wants me to take the civil service exam.”
Her assessment officer tells her, “Your reflexes are extraordinary, and your marksmanship is excellent. Have you considered a career in the field? You could join the Investigation Bureau and fight zombies outside the city.”
She shakes her head. “It’s too dangerous outside the city. My family wants me to apply for a job inside the city.”
Tang Yu asks her, “Is the path you’re taking really the one you want?”
She’s wondered that herself, and has never known what she truly wants.
“What about you? What do you want?”
Tang Yu looks at the gray sky and recites the oath spoken when the four bureaus were founded: “I want to fight for humanity’s freedom.”
The first time Yang Huazhi meets Tang Yu, her gun is aimed at a zombie, while the tip of his blade is pointed at her.
It’s a from-the-start clash of arrogance and prejudice. They’re exactly the kind of people the other can’t stand. They shouldn’t have anything to do with each other, and yet somehow, in the end, they end up together.
After all, he’s the first person to ask her where she wants to go, and she’s the first person to ask him if he’s eaten.

Theme: Define yourself
I always feel that Brother Huazhi has some status, didn't he dig out their company's express box?
Did Liu Feng go undercover?
I like the setting about the zombie virus, it feels very reasonable
2025.12.26🎆 Author, I will follow you! [Spread flowers]
It suddenly became sweet 🍉 and I knocked [purple sugar]
"Everyone is happy 1." This is a big bug for the author~ All the guests are happy
2025.12.15 Finished spreading flowers! I really like this book. It took me less than a week to read it. I still feel that I am lucky to see such a realistic and vivid story in this genre. I like Yang Huazhi and Tang Yu very much, and I was very moved when I saw Zuo Hua. Indeed, for many novelists, the story and the protagonist always come first. We are not creating stories, we are telling stories. I like it very much and look forward to the next work!
It's so perfect, everyone has a healthy and happy life
What's going on between Tang Yu and his adoptive father and younger brother?
The number of words is not enough, so I will write another extra chapter tomorrow (kneeling down)
