Apocalypse Lease: The Second Party Comes from the Past

[Non-commercial, fast-paced power fantasy] [Realistic] [Slow-burn] On the third day of the virus outbreak, all communications are completely cut off. Otaku Mo Chen is trapped in his apartment, his food supplies exhausted. No superpowers, no mindless cheat abilities—he is just an ordinary person who feels fear and wants to retreat. When zombies break down his door, he barely survives a desperate, perilous fight thanks to luck and makeshift tools. During the days and nights of being trapped, fear lingers. Relying on crude skills learned in his youth, he cobbles together a simple spear and endures the long nights as his mind teeters on the brink of collapse. Sitting idle and eating through his supplies is a dead end, so he summons all his courage and prepares to leave home in search of a way to survive. But just as his fingertips touch the unit door lock, about to step outside, a cold, unidentified warning echoes through the empty corridor: "You'll die if you go out like this." No one knows whether this is a dying hallucination or a transcendent rule awakening deep within the catastrophe. Behind this cold warning, what kind of transcendent authority lies? It can project people from all of real history—not limited to the distant ancient past, but also the modern era and even yesterday's past, all within its scope. A mere mortal, borrowing the power of people from the past, struggles to survive in a devastated apocalyptic world. — Description from novelcodex.org
