As a result of the third and final World War, the United States is one of the only countries left on Earth. Society has developed ideas of what people must look like, and have become obsessed with the idea of filling this mold. The government passed a law stating that all citizens have a right to a "joyous and perfect life", and requiring all citizens to be genetically altered before birth so that they can fit into the idea of Perfection that Society has made. Technology has evolved so much that we can now accurately predict what a child will look like at any time in their lives, and even alter it. But how do we decide to use this technology? To make sure that everyone looks and thinks the way Society wants them to, to "Perfect" them. Nearly every aspect of life is now a popularity contest, and when children turn age eighteen, society gets to decide what the child's Social Status will be, where they will live, how much they will pay for Bills, and even who they will Marry. Originality is lost in this Dystopian tale of what could happen if Society stays the way it is today.

荒原始生
"When Chu Xiang woke up, he realized the world had already entered the apocalypse... The T-virus ravaged the entire world in a short time. Only 10% of the 7 billion people had immunity, and over 300 million died due to the chaos caused by the virus. On Earth's 5.1 million square kilometers, only 400 million humans survived, alongside countless zombies and mutated creatures infected by the virus. Whether on land, sea, or air, they relentlessly hunt the remaining human survivors... In the face of danger and hunger, the so-called school beauties, police flowers, spicy girls, or rich girls are nothing more than men's accessories. "Survival of the fittest" rules the day! A female celebrity? Would you trade a box of pure, uncontaminated bottled water for it? A virgin girl? Will you dance for a packet of biscuits? A wealthy young lady? Sorry, in a world where even ants can kill, running isn't an option - only elimination awaits... The food crisis forces the surviving humans to reclaim land and plant crops for self-sufficiency. The once bright-lit squares are now overgrown with crops, and the buildings that once bustled with crowds have turned into pigsties. Gone are the hustle and bustle, the pollution, the 9-to-5 routine, and Sundays off. When there's free time, you can search the ruins for valuable treasures, and when bored, you can have heart-to-heart conversations with your old girlfriends..."

They didn't want to lose all of their humanity and become nothing more than animals that hunted the monsters: then they would truly be no better than the monsters themselves. So they stayed civil while still doing what it took to survive.Complete
