The Glimmer of Evernight: Survival in the Extreme Cold

My name is Lin Ji, I am seventeen years old. Once upon a time, I was human. Now, I am a monster codenamed "Liaoying" - a semi-infected person who was transformed by the military. In this apocalyptic world where the virus turns people into bloodthirsty beasts, my pretty face, the damn tiffany cat ears on my head, and the uncontrollable tail behind me have become my badge of shame as an "other". The infected become crazy predators of various shapes, and every organ on their bodies is a deadly weapon. And "semi-finished products" like me are struggling to survive amid the distrust of humans and the pursuit of infected people. I'm tired. I don't want to struggle anymore, I don't want to see blood and madness anymore. So, I came to the end of the world - this extremely cold place covered in eternal ice and snow. The severe cold of minus 50 degrees is enough to purify all the filth in the world, and perhaps it can also freeze the viruses and memories in my body. A revolver and six bullets are the last dialogue I leave to this world; a short knife is the witness of my confession to myself. I thought there was only dead silence here, where I could rot quietly. Until that day, in the snowstorm, I saw a series of huge and weird footprints that could never be left by humans or ordinary animals, extending deep into the glacier... Only then did I realize that this extremely cold hell was not a vacuum of life, but... Another hunting ground. And I, this half-cat monster who just wanted to die, seemed to have wandered into a place I shouldn't have set foot on.
