Listen to this thrilling, blood-soaked, and action-packed survival thriller that takes place in the vast universe of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead series. As chaos engulfs Asia, three individuals from vastly different backgrounds in China must band together to combat the horde of undead. The Chinese government, amidst the aftermath of the zombie virus outbreak, estimates that a staggering one billion walkers, known as jiangshi, roam the nation.
In this tumultuous landscape, large groups of survivors have formed tight-knit communities in vertically constructed villages and towns to shield themselves from the relentless wave of jiangshi. Prior to this devastation, Zhu was one of the countless impoverished farmers who abandoned their rural lives for the prospect of steady employment in China's thriving factory towns. Elena, an American teaching English during her gap year before law school, found herself in China. Hengyen, a battle-hardened military officer, staunchly believed in his country's ability to conquer any obstacle that came its way.
Struggling to feed the settlement's 3,000 inhabitants, and with scavengers venturing further to scrounge for sustenance, Zhu returns to his hometown only to discover survivors. The question arises: should he compel them to join the settlement or conceal their existence? At the same time, Hengyen faces an insurmountable task – fortifying the Beacon against a monstrous wave of 100,000 walkers heading their way. Although he recognizes the Beacon's slim chances of survival, Hengyen remains resolute, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his comrades until the bitter end. This pits him against Zhu, who plans to escape the path of destruction and seek refuge in China's majestic mountain ranges before it's too late.
With a resounding endorsement of "two decaying thumbs up," this book will send your heart racing and leave you yearning for more. Don't miss out on this captivating audiobook experience, narrated by the talented Feodor Chin.
