[P.S No AI is used for this book!]In the year 2025, a sudden outbreak happened where humans are turning into monsters that would feast on another human. The word is zombie. They appeared in all major cities on the planet infecting millions by the day.Among them was Adrian, a college student who was about to go home after his class when suddenly zombies appeared out of nowhere. Of course like every human being who sensed danger, he ran and escaped. But minutes after he killed a zombie, an holographic interface appeared.[Modern Weapons Gacha activated!][Would you like to try out your luck in a modern weapon gacha system?]Adrian tested it since there’s nothing to lose.[Congratulations! You have received an M4A1 and a 5x fully loaded magazine!]With that, he found out that he has a gacha where he could potentially receive handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, bazooka! Even a tank or an attack helicopter!With his new power, he would use it to kill zombies and hostile survivors, and save the people who were dear to him.And just like that, Adrian suddenly has a weapon to fight in a new apocalyptic world.

To care for her ailing sweetheart, college student Lu Chenchen gave up her white-collar office job and chose the higher-paying caretaker profession instead. Going around in circles, she ended up at the Mao family’s home.

The Mao family background was complicated. Old Madam Mao was not her son Yanning’s birth mom, but his young aunt. His wife was Old Madam Mao’s first love’s daughter, spoiled and pampered. Despite over ten years of marriage, husband and wife were distant.

To repay Old Madam Mao’s kindness in raising him, and for the sake of his three children, Mao Yanning endured again and again – not just a loveless but outright destructive marriage.

Lu Chenchen walked on eggshells among these people – carefully serving young and old, currying favor with the lady of the house without offending the man of the house, while also worrying about his sweetheart’s illness and missing “his” elders and children back home. Her heart was like a cookie flattened between the pages of life, living a difficult and cautious existence.

However, as the saying goes, “You reap what you sow.” A life that has been polished will eventually shine with a brilliance that ordinary years cannot compare.
