Slaughtering Through the Apocalypse with a Game System

Yu Yao is a twenty-two-year-old woman who lost both her legs saving a stranger from kidnappers, leaving her confined to a wheelchair and plagued by chronic pain. For four years, her only companions are video games and books, with the MMORPG Defying Fate serving as her primary outlet. On the eve of the game's permanent shutdown, she is struck by lightning and transmigrates into the body of a different Yu Yao, a twenty-year-old university student who had just committed suicide after reliving the horrors of a zombie apocalypse in her previous life. The original owner had died after eight years of suffering as a powerless human in a brutal post-apocalyptic world, where she was eventually abandoned and eaten by zombies. Upon waking, Yu Yao discovers she has brought the Defying Fate game system with her, including a backpack with storage capabilities, a mini-map for reconnaissance, and a shop system.

Armed with foreknowledge of the impending apocalypse, which is set to begin in fifty days, Yu Yao immediately begins preparing for survival. She uses a Marrow-Cleansing Pill from the system to heal her new body, enhancing her physical attributes and senses. With her brother's inheritance and compensation money, she liquidates assets and rents warehouses to stockpile essential supplies. She purchases vast quantities of food, water filtration systems, solar panels, and winter clothing, while also hiring a hacker to download terabytes of educational and entertainment content onto hard drives. Realizing her funds are insufficient, she travels overseas under a fake identity, raiding warehouses and armories in multiple countries to acquire weapons and additional resources. During these raids, she earns the moniker "Blond Bandit" in the media, which distracts authorities from tracking her true identity.

Three days before the apocalypse, Yu Yao returns to China and continues her preparations. She collects clean water from mountain springs and lakes, storing it in her system's warehouse space. On the night the apocalypse arrives, a Blood Moon causes humanity to fall into a deep sleep, and seventy percent of the population reanimates as zombies. Yu Yao, protected by a Sky-Shield Stone that blocks surveillance and hides her energy signature, raids a massive port city, collecting containers filled with goods that would otherwise be lost to an impending tsunami. She leaves warnings for survivors before moving to a secure location. As chaos erupts, she demonstrates exceptional combat skills with dual blades, leveling up quickly and unlocking abilities like Cloud Step for enhanced mobility.

While navigating the dangerous new world, Yu Yao encounters Luo Mei, a powerful esper who is injured and on the verge of turning into a zombie. Instead of abandoning her, Yu Yao takes Luo Mei in, offering her a chance to awaken her powers rather than die. This marks the beginning of Yu Yao forming alliances, as she is no longer alone in her struggle for survival. The story follows her transition from a solitary survivor to a leader who must navigate the treacherous social hierarchies of the apocalypse, using her game system advantages and combat prowess to protect herself and those she chooses to help. Her goal is not just to survive, but to thrive in a world where the weak are consumed and only the strong can dictate their own fate.
