   [Top Post][Follow for More] Must-Read for Those Suffering from a Book Shortage! A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Novel is Here! 💕 Natural disasters have created a wasteland, mutated creatures roam freely, and clean water is scarce. While others struggle to survive alone, the female protagonist, along with her parents and younger brother, bands together to survive: scavenging for scraps in the ruins by day, cultivating a base to grow radiation-resistant vegetables by night, and dividing tasks to fight off mutated beasts. No mindless cheat codes, just family support: from crammed into a leaky tent to building a safe hut, from barely surviving to becoming "supply tycoons." It has the tension of the apocalypse, but also the warmth of family!

    Hello everyone. The fact that you're reading this means we've come a long way together. First of all, I sincerely thank you all for your companionship and understanding along the way. The scene where Chen Mingfei teaches Xixi might seem a bit slow in this fast-paced post-apocalyptic story, but it's not just filler; it's a core theme I wanted to discuss with you after careful consideration: "cultivation and inheritance." Even if the apocalypse truly arrives and order collapses, I hope our people won't completely degenerate into mindless, instinct-driven zombies. Beyond survival, there should always be something worth fighting to the death for. Of course, if that day truly comes, you don't need to be bound by these principles I've written. Just live. As long as you live, there is always hope. Taking this opportunity, I'd also like to give you a brief summary of this stage. The third part of *Wild Grass Blossoms in the Apocalypse* is nearing its end, and the next chapter will officially mark the final chapter of the entire book. Since this is my first time writing on Tomato Book, I'm not yet very familiar with the volume-splitting function, so I've been writing it sequentially. Here, I will outline the book's structure for you: Part One (Chapters 1-245): [The Apocalypse Arrives] This section mainly tells the story of the protagonist group's struggle for survival, search for relatives, and escape during the initial arrival of the apocalypse. The core exploration is the nature of good and evil. Human evil is not instantaneous but gradually distorted by extreme environments and despair. As for the boundary between good and evil, I hope to leave it to the readers to ponder. Part Two (Chapters 246-396): [The Civilian Team] This section mainly describes Chen Mingfei and others' journey to Northeast China to form a civilian team. What I want to express is how ordinary people can save themselves and fight when they lose official protection. Some readers are curious why the book rarely depicts "saintly figures" or extreme forms of human ugliness. It's not that there are none, but because the perspective is always focused on Chen Mingfei, and due to restrictions on some sensitive topics, many harsh realities can only be glossed over. But please believe that in those shelters and wildernesses unseen by us, countless heart-wrenching struggles are also unfolding. Part Three (Chapters 397-483): [The Rise of the Phoenix] This section, centered on Chu Zixun and her "Phoenix Society," showcases a completely different philosophy of survival and way of life in the apocalypse. Simultaneously, through Chen Mingfei's confinement and subsequent release, it initially reveals the truth behind the apocalyptic natural disasters. I want to convey a belief: natural disasters are indeed terrifying, but the Chinese people never lack strength, means, and wisdom; we will definitely overcome the difficulties. What is truly terrifying is often man-made disaster. Regarding the setting of the "ancient virus," there's no need to worry that it will veer into an absurd fantasy cultivation direction. Essentially, it's a mad act of overdrawing life for temporary power, a self-destructive tactic born of despair. So, after experiencing all this, how will humanity face the backlash of the virus? And how will it rebuild true civilization? Please look forward to Part Four, the final chapter of the book—[The Future of Humanity]. Thank you again for reading, see you in the final chapter!

    The author's intelligence is definitely online, and the author is meticulous and keeps the elements very realistic. However, because it's a science fiction post-apocalyptic story, some parts may not conform to physics. But for most of it, the author did extensive research before writing. There's no mindless resource-giving or overpowered protagonist plot. That kind of thing doesn't fit the logic of the apocalypse. The setting needs to be logically consistent with the apocalypse, with a gradual and progressive development. Later on, well, how should I put it, the protagonist might not be that strong. He might experience some death, but his intelligence is still there. It's not mindless, but there might be a little bit of brutality later on.
