Chasing the Light at the End of the World

How can you survive in an apocalypse crawling with zombies?

It took Xiao Zhuo three years to figure out the only way to survive the end of the world: if you want to live, first make yourself smell like the dead. With no System or supernatural abilities, he covers himself in corpse blood and infiltrates the horde. He fights his way out of a cage where he and his younger sister were being sold as "cargo," honing his ruthlessness and wits into a blade.

When the living in the entire city start adding one another to the menu, and corpses begin evolving in the shadows, he finally realizes that zombies aren't the real threat. The real terror is when the living look at you and calculate "how much you're worth."
