The Hohos Syndrome

By the time that hoarse, rattling sound reached your ears, it was already too late.

A virus codenamed Hecate swept through the entire city. The infected lost their minds, their throats constantly emitting hoarse, rattling snarls. They staggered along, hunting down the living by sound and scent.

The hospitals fell, communications went down, and most government agencies ground to a halt. The once-bustling city became a silent ruin.

✅ No System! ✅ No supernatural powers! ✅ No golden finger from the heavens!

Li Rongyu, a livestock farmer, is trapped in the dead city with only a small supply of provisions and a few crude tools.

He slowly comes to understand a cruel truth:

Compared to the flesh-eating, rattling infected, perhaps the most terrifying enemies are his fellow survivors, whose sinister intentions make them covet food and shelter.

Hunger gnaws at him, his wounds fester, and the rattling cries that could erupt at any moment follow him like a shadow.

In this apocalypse, where humanity is collapsing, he can only plan carefully, proceed one step at a time, and risk everything just to stay alive!
