Two Doomsday Beauties: The Maniac Squad Forced Me to Join Them

[Realistic apocalypse + best friends + two female leads + one woman adored by five + no CP + no System + no superpowers]

The ecosystem collapses. Poisonous soil stretches as far as the eye can see. Food and water run out.

Refugees surround us and block every escape. My best friend, a special forces soldier, is near death with her injured back splitting open. I’m sensitive to the cold, have low blood sugar, and lose my ability to speak when stressed. Clutching a few withered weeds, I wait to die, pushed to the brink of despair.

Using the poison-identification skills I learned from my family’s traditional medicine practice, I kill the bandits with a handful of poisonous sand. I chew up medicinal herbs and save my best friend’s life, only to be tracked down and forcibly taken in by a deranged group of five lurking in the shadows.

The two female leads entrust their lives to each other and stand by one another. I identify poisons and food to keep us alive; she fights through blood and violence to protect me. The deranged squad becomes our team of guardians, and together we battle through the wasteland, turning into the apocalypse’s brightest light!

[Content warnings] No male lead; the two female leads are strongly bound to each other; survival-focused angst and catharsis; no lovestruck characters; the squad is made up of unhinged protectors.
