The Walking Dead: Building a Fortress at the Start, Forced to Rescue Rick

When Lin wakes up, he discovers he has transmigrated into the world of The Walking Dead-with only seven days left before Atlanta falls!

He seizes a sprawling zoo and turns it into a fortress with towering walls and iron fencing. Ferocious beasts form a natural barrier, and supplies pile up like mountains.

Lin wins people over, gathering allies under his command: Davis, a taciturn and fearsome former boxer, and Min-seon, a coolheaded surgeon with impeccable precision.

His apocalyptic fortress is impregnable.

But after only a few peaceful days, a cold, emotionless "Survival System" suddenly appears.

Beginner Mission: Rescue the protagonist, Rick Grimes!

The mission reward is irresistible: the ability to create powerful, absolutely loyal companions out of thin air!

But the penalty for failure is-erasure!

Lin only wants to hunker down in the zoo until the end of time. But staring at the blood-red word on the mission panel-

ERASURE

-he can only grit his teeth, take his two most trusted companions, fire up the Jeep, and charge into downtown Atlanta, which has long since become hell on earth.

Hordes of walkers surge through the hospital corridors. Deep inside a patient room, a ticking bomb lies hidden beneath the unconscious Rick...

Davis's shotgun roars. Min-seon's scalpel flashes coldly as Lin lunges toward the wire that will decide whether they live or die.

Can they snatch the unconscious sheriff back from the twin threats of a walker horde and a ticking bomb?

And can the zoo fortress hold firm through the crisis of losing its leader?

Surviving the apocalypse begins with being forced to save the protagonist!
