I close my eyes, and the world doesnt exist!

Zhang Xiao Qiang wakes up due to a burning sensation in his stomach, then he sat up, clutching his stomach in a daze, unable to distinguish if this was reality or a dream. The intense hunger in his intestines forced him to get up, all of his senses returned to his body. The room stunk with the smell of dead mouse, outside the window the sky was gloomy. In addition, the sounds coming from the zombies downstairs of various sizes and shapes stepping on broken glass made him feel a chill to his bones.

From the bedside desk he picked up half a bag of instant noodles, opening the bag he took a deep breath through his nose, the foods aroma caused him to salivate, as if the stench was no longer there. Crushing the instant noodles, he put it bit by bit into his mouth** savoring the taste. Before he knew it, the last bit of noodles disappeared in his mouth. He used scissors to carefully cut open the bag of instant noodles, licking up the remaining crumbs of the noodles, he then rinsed out his mouth with mineral water and swallowed it with the residue. After he finished the rest of his water and got out of bed, he stood by the window watching the zombies on the street wandering around, contemplating how long the remaining food will last, unconsciously he started to think about 2 weeks ago.

Zhang Xiao Qiang is a recluse, his parents died of cancer, **married to another family,[TL thats what it says in the raws, I assume its someone like his sister]he is the only one left in the house. The unit leader resigned and returned home after an argument, he paid for the starting capital for a small restaurant in WH City with his friend. He was too lazy to find a job and he used the computer daily from the morning till night. His parents left him an shopfront to receive rent from so he doesnt needto worry about money for food or drinks. 1 months rent will buy a month of supplies for the home. His weight slowly increased to 170 pounds due to living an easy low profile life.

This year, 2012, hell be 34. All over the internet there was talk of an apocalypse but he didnt care, that is not to say he didnt see the destruction of the world in 1999! By March, Mount Fuji erupted, so subsequently there were eruptions all over the world, causing public panic as there were various rumours. Later, world leaders televised a program to deny the rumours, many experts tried to prove that all the events were due to natural causes. Once June arrived, the Earth started to calm down; there were no more earthquakes and volcanoes stopped erupting. The economy was beginning to recover; the price of pork reduced, apocalyptic websites began to shut down and life was looking good, but even so he continued as usual, waiting to die.

As the 21st December 2012 passed, nothing happened and the apocalyptic forums were silent; just some noobs complaining at home about how they cant finish the food that they bought because they bought at least a couple thousand pounds, and also that biscuit prices have increased on the market.

On the 24th December 2012 the news reported that a small cluster of meteorites fell into the pacific, but there was no economic loss. It was only on the 31st December 2012 at 9 in the morning that the world changed.

Zhang Xiao Qiang had a late night and was preparing to go to sleep when he noticed a strange smell. He closed all the windows and doors, took a hot shower and used the expired air freshener that his sister left behind. Holding onto the quilt, he slept in the darkness. He woke up at 9, ate some food and turned on the computer. When he accessed his homepage, he realised that most of his novels were not updated. He looked for old books to read whilst cursing the authors and after an hour, he realised something wasnt right. His house was far from the centre of the city where electricity and water was produced. There are always cars coming and going so usually the sound of cars can be heard all the time. However, from when he woke up till now he had not heard a single car,
