   This is a post-apocalyptic story about a simple-minded woman who marries a sickly husband with her younger brother and then successfully joins a mercenary group. They rarely scavenge alone; their daily lives are mostly spent as mercenaries. They don't have many points, but they have enough to eat and wear.

   Reader note

   This is, in my opinion, one of the best post-apocalyptic novels so far. The early chapters focus on scavenging and the harsh survival environment (these take up relatively little space, making for a fast pace). The middle chapters explore the female protagonist's growth and awakening. While her younger sister hasn't awakened yet, she is a Word Spirit Master, albeit at a price. The younger sister risks her life to help her older sister, and the older sister selflessly searches for medicine for her younger sister. Throughout the story, a group of young people grow together, and the academy arc is also excellent, featuring a team and other outstanding geniuses. I really want to see her participate in the global competition later on; please, author, grant me that wish… The villains are powerful but not stupid, with foreshadowing, a complex and unpredictable plot, and deeply hidden powerful figures. The novel portrays the cruelty and ruthlessness of the post-apocalyptic world, but more importantly, it suggests that the coexistence of light and darkness, their mutual influence, is essential for truly understanding the world's essence. It's an unfinished story, and I suspect it involves interference from an interstellar extraterrestrial world. I highly recommend it; the writing is excellent.

    Of all the post-apocalyptic novels I've read, only these two are finished. [Eating popcorn emoji] The first one features a female protagonist who transmigrates into a book. She doesn't take it lying down and slaps those who look down on her in the face. She survives by developing healing abilities in the early stages, but her mechanical skills make her strong. She helps the male lead's team a lot, and he pursues her, slowly winning her heart ❤️. The ending is happy, and the plot is exciting 😊 The second one features a female protagonist who transmigrates. She spends a lot of time scavenging and gathering in the early stages, and later levels up her abilities by killing strange beasts. It's a female protagonist growth story, but there's no romance, and it's a strong female lead ♥♥♥ [Please follow] Min'er recommends this book, I'll read it tomorrow~ A heartfelt gem~ 🤩🤩🤩
