After staying up all night, Jiang Zhiwei woke to find the world gone.
She'd missed the rescue and the chance to scavenge supplies. All she had at home was a packet of instant noodles.
After thinking it over, she decided to give up. She walked out the door and got bitten by a zombie.
Then she discovered...
Being a zombie was actually pretty great?
No need to eat, so she saved money.
No need to sleep, so she had endless energy.
No need to socialize, so there was no awkwardness.
Now that she was "free to live her own life," why not do what she'd always wanted to do before the apocalypse, but couldn't afford or find the time for: travel around the world?
So she slung an empty backpack over her shoulders and set off on a journey through a world without humans.
No more waiting in line at the Eiffel Tower. Tokyo's streets were finally quiet. Under the sun in Kashgar's old town, she was the only zombie lounging by the city gate.
The world was dead, but she had only just begun to live.
Thesis: Live once more.
