    This is a post-apocalyptic disaster novel with no romantic pairing. The female lead is cautious and intelligent, not the kind of character who wreaks havoc in a fantasy novel. She is just an ordinary person whose thinking and ideas are similar to those of the military. She has a private space that she never shows to others, and her teammates are all temporary. It is a relatively realistic post-apocalyptic survival novel!
