Glimmering Embers of the Apocalypse

The virus is burning down the city like wildfire, and the world is silent. Chen Shi, a former emergency room doctor with an infected left hand who just wanted to go home, was forced to embark on a journey home through purgatory. Without powers or aura, he relied only on the calmness of a doctor and the logic of a system architect to survive in the ruins where the Dark Eclipse was rampant. The road home is strewn with corpses and shoals of humanity. He was forced to abandon the dying man and pull the trigger for the first time to protect his family. On the way, he met the tenacious wife Su Xiao, the nurse Li Yao who carried a secret, and the survivors who were each carrying trauma... The concern of blood gradually expanded into a small but real bond. However, survival is much more than just dodging monsters. Mutants as cunning as hunters appeared among the Dark Eclipsers; other survivors fought for resources; and a research note exchanged for their lives pointed to the source of the virus and the slim hope. They discovered that the virus spawned a dual evolution: on one side, the Dark Climb of the Dark Eclipse, and on the other, the costly "Ember Resonance" of the survivors. This is not a heroic epic, but the struggle, choice and reconstruction of a group of ordinary people on the ashes of civilization. When the night is endless and evolution hangs like a blade, they must answer: After losing everything, what is worth protecting? Is it the last bite of food, the shaky rules, the fire of knowledge, or the glimmer of "humanity" in the heart that is unwilling to be extinguished? The story begins with one person's obsession to go home, and will eventually lead to how a group of people pass on the faint but unwilling to extinguish the residual warmth of civilization in the embers.
