Background

Cheng Ying was a well-known streamer with more than ten million followers before the apocalypse. She had only just received her marriage certificate when her husband died at the beginning of the disaster, leaving her known as the “Unmarried Widow.” 52

In Building Six, Wang Kun's group cornered her in her apartment after killing her husband. Her former friend Wang Dan sided with the attackers and urged Cheng Ying to submit. Refusing to be defiled, Cheng Ying considered suicide before Meng De intervened and killed the men surrounding her. 18 19

After the rescue, Cheng Ying personally killed Wang Dan for her betrayal and involvement in her husband's death. She then asked Meng De to help avenge her husband against Wang Kun and his remaining group, joining him in infiltrating Building Six. 19 20

Personality
