In the year , an apocalypse suddenly descends upon the world, turning it into a hellish landscape. Chu Chu enters a game called 'Survival Road,' where the only way to pass is by staying alive. However, Chu Chu realizes that her playstyle is different from other players. While others focus on avoiding infection, she leads a group of residents in constructing infrastructure in a terrifying castle. While others are trying to evade pursuit, she guides her people in farming in the cold world. While others strive to survive the harsh cold, she develops cold-resistant plants for cultivation. This is a story about building infrastructure in every world while others are trying to escape, I am building. Although the title implies horror, it has no relation to the story, and the protagonist and other characters follow a light-hearted and enjoyable narrative. The protagonist possesses a significant advantage and technological knowledge, allowing her to create whatever she desires. There may be elements of romance involving the male lead, but it should not be the focus. The protagonist's growth and mindset differ from ordinary people, characterized by selfishness, arrogance, immaturity, and a lack of empathy. Thank you to my dear friend Tie Tou Miao for the cover design. Please check out her work! Also, check out my upcoming novel 'After I Transmigrated, I Became a Top-tier Green Tea'. While I have mostly written plot-oriented stories, I wanted to try a romance-focused one this time.
