Background / History

Before the Apocalypse

Huang City was a major, prosperous city whose GDP had ranked among the country’s top five. It was surrounded by numerous cities, counties, and economically developed towns. 189

The city contained both high-value commercial districts and historic public institutions. Huang City People’s Library, built in Western architectural style, had served as an invaders’ command post during the War of Resistance before becoming a library after liberation; it had once been considered for demolition during urban planning. 17 Fangji International was among the city’s most expensive luxury residential complexes. 21

Zombie Outbreak and Cleanup

After the apocalypse, Huang City became overrun by zombies, including increasing numbers of Evolutionary Zombies after the thunderstorm. Lin Fan began clearing outward from Sunshine Residential Complex, turning its surrounding streets into an expanding safe zone. 98 123 127

The city also contained several survivor shelters and hostile groups. Armed survivors, gangs, and shelters led by authoritarian figures posed threats alongside the zombies. 84 99 121

Lin Fan ultimately cleared Huang City’s remaining zombies, including those at Huang City Prison. Patrol teams later reported no zombie activity, although scattered stragglers and zombies entering from outside remained a concern. 179 180 183

Reconstruction and Victory

Following the cleanup, Huang City became the proposed center of a “City of Hope,” intended to shelter survivors and serve as a base for clearing surrounding regions. Monitoring by the three major bases identified Huang City as the only city then in relatively good condition. 117 138

Sunshine Shelter expanded as survivors, experts, equipment, and the populations of other shelters relocated into the city. Its residents restored services, cultivated food, maintained livestock, and gradually returned city life to a stable routine. 175 183 220 320

Lin Fan later announced that the apocalypse had ended in Huang City. The residents established April 3 as Victory Day, while Officer Huang guarded the border against zombies from outside the country. 359

Communities and Organizations

Sunshine Shelter

Sunshine Shelter developed from Sunshine Residential Complex into Huang City’s central survivor community. It includes designated planting areas, a hospital, school, Cake Shop, food-distribution points, and residential areas. 182

• Its perimeter was strengthened with reinforced gates, taller walls, barbed wire, spikes, barricades, and emergency shelters. 84 103 109
• Nearby shops became occupied again, vegetable gardens expanded, and the Fish Pond received regular supplies from the Chao River. 129
• Awakened were organized for collective training and housing at the former Huang City University. 220
• Lucky and Bank Shelter eventually began merging into Sunshine Shelter, bringing the survivor population to several thousand. 161

Huang City Prison

Huang City Prison was initially transformed into a survivor base by warden Chen Zhiyong, who controlled residents through violence and food rationing. 87

After the city’s liberation, prison survivors were invited to join Sunshine Shelter. The prison later continued operating as a place to hold and rehabilitate survivors who could not immediately enter the shelter. 179 197 348
