Summary
Professional survival-game player Li Mo enters Apocalypse Island’s Zombie Pen with nine other contestants, where every kill is worth money and every wrong choice can unleash a horde. When he discovers that the arena’s fog controls the zombies, the game’s apparent rules begin to unravel. A speaking female zombie is secretly helping him, a shape-shifting Parasite has replaced one of the players, and a hired killer is manipulating the death toll for an underworld betting scheme. To survive twenty-four hours of traps, betrayals, and public executions, Li Mo must turn every clue—and the game company’s own cruelty—against the people hunting him.
