This novel, adapted from the novel of the same name, is an apocalyptic sci-fi movie released in 2007. The film mainly tells the story that human beings were finally defeated by viruses in 20 12 years. Rob Naifo (will smith), a former military virologist, became the only survivor in new york because he had natural antibodies and was not infected. At one time, he even thought he was the only survivor in the world.

Detailed story: Ignorant human medicine invented a new virus that can cure cancer, but the virus mutated, turning infected human beings into living zombies. A large-scale virus broke out suddenly, and almost no one could stop it from spreading. No one knows where this terrible virus started, except that it is unstoppable, irreversible and incurable. Most importantly, it is man-made.

Colonel Robert Nayville is an outstanding pathogen scholar in new york City, serving the US military. As a pioneer of government investment in epidemic vaccine research, he saw the virus raging in the street, but he could do nothing. This airborne virus finally enveloped the whole city at an irresistible speed, so that the president could only order the blockade of Long Island and let uninfected people leave the island. As you can imagine, this practice caused great panic among the citizens, and new york was in chaos. In his anxiety, Robert put his wife Zoe and his 7-year-old daughter Mary on a helicopter out of town, but witnessed the tragedy of their deaths. At this time, death may be the best choice, because those infected but not dead have changed their bodies and become a terrible creature, living in the darkness and shadow of the city underground, avoiding the sun-they have the most primitive desire for fresh blood and meat.

As a result of this disaster, new york became a dead city, and Robert became the only human being here-somehow, his blood was naturally immune to this virus. Robert knows that he has two weapons to use, that is, his scientific expertise and his own blood. The experience of working in the army helped him choose a lifestyle in this abandoned city, which is completely systematic. He insists on a lot of physical training every day, constantly sending out radio waves for help or looking for survivors like himself. Robert is a very self-disciplined person, otherwise, in this extremely lonely situation, normal people may go crazy. The only one who is still fighting alongside Robert is his most loyal partner, Sam, a German shepherd. During the day, Robert took Sam out to find life-sustaining materials, and then went to the laboratory to do research and send radio waves; At night, they shut themselves in a building as strong as a fortress and watched the monsters "feed" on the streets of the city. In addition to doing the same thing dutifully every day, Robert enjoys complete freedom in this "empty city": he can drive his sports car on the street; Playing golf on a fighter plane; Decorating his fortress with priceless jewels, even the most prosperous commercial street in the city center has now become Robert's own "back garden". As the last hope of mankind, Robert was driven by the only remaining task, that is, using the immune system in his blood to find a way to reverse the virus. Although he knew that he was faced with a huge astronomical figure, he had no choice because his time was running out.
