The World Is in Ruins, but People Are Still Struggling

On the day the natural disaster struck, Lu Chen was writing a settlement report at the design institute. The last four words of the report were "immediate evacuation recommended." Before it was handed in, the lights in the entire city went out. Earthquakes, floods, extreme cold, zombies - the world collapsed in a triple disaster, the state machinery was torn apart, and the living were more terrifying than the dead. He has no system, no golden fingers, only a backpack of architectural drawings and a life that refuses to admit defeat. Nurse Su Xiao, veteran Zhou, college student Lin Weiwei, investment bank manager Chen Mo, detective Zhao Zheng, fitness coach Akai, and eleven-year-old Xiao Man - eight people came together to build a home in the ruins. They thought they could survive as long as they stayed together. But what the apocalypse is best at is crushing the things people care about most one by one. The most optimistic person dies the most tragic death, the strongest person dies the most shameful death, the proudest person dies in a deserted corner, the most selfish person sacrifices for the sake of righteousness, and the most sincere person is buried by lies. Some betrayed, some left, some knelt on the ground begging for their companions to be spared, and some fell one step before dawn. The world is in ruins. But people still struggle.
