What if one day the pulse emitted by the phone could turn people into mindless zombies like killing them? On October 1st, God still guarded paradise, the Dow Jones index stood at 10,140, most flights took off on time, and Clayton Riddle was active on the streets of Boston. He had just finalized a comic book deal and could finally support his family by drawing. He picked out a cheap little gift for his long-suffering wife, thought about what to buy for his son, and even planned to treat himself. Clayton was overjoyed, with everything looking bright.
Things changed in an instant. The pulse emitted by the phone wiped out all humanity in the unprepared people’s minds, leaving only the instincts for aggression and destruction. Civilization fell into darkness again, inevitably filled with bloodshed, and the speed was so fast that even the most pessimistic futurists couldn’t have foreseen it. It seemed that the moment of decline was already destined. Two weeks later, the sky was once again dominated by birds, and the stock market had become history. Before Halloween, major cities became ghost towns, and the world had changed beyond recognition.
Clayton, who didn’t use a phone, and the other survivors despaired when they realized the entire Earth had turned into a slaughterhouse, with everyone becoming a killing machine. Could Clayton survive this disaster and save his wife and son? When the "Dead Ring" doesn’t just ring at midnight, will you dare to pick up the phone?
