   Reader note

   I have read basically all Tomato books with a score of 9.6 Or above. This one is considered the best. The protagonist's IQ report is not without brains. Each character is very complex and charming. They are very well-shaped. Even the death of each character seems like his own destiny rather than the author's arrangement. The battles are also very exciting. Technology, force, strategy, props, and group portraits become more interesting in the later stages.

   Reader note

   In the frozen apocalyptic world around the world, Zhang Yi, who was betrayed and killed for his kindness in his previous life, was reborn one month before the ice apocalypse and awakened his space powers. He used this ability to hoard supplies like crazy, emptied out tens of billions worth of warehouses in supermarkets, and built a super safe house comparable to a doomsday fortress. After the Ice Age came, others struggled with hunger and cold, but Zhang Yi enjoyed life comfortably. People who had betrayed him came to beg for mercy, but he watched with cold eyes and started his own journey of revenge and survival. The plot is tense and exciting, full of reversals and conflicts, making people want to stop.

   Reader note

   This book incorporates various elements such as cities, officialdom, and military under the background of the end of the world. The author has a good control over the plot and builds a huge and wonderful world view. The characters are flesh-and-blood. The book is full of satire on officialdom, human relationships, and relationships in reality. It shows the sacrifices of the people at the bottom in the war, and at the same time praises the sincere feelings. This book is a rare good book. It is cloaked in apocalyptic science fiction and writes about humanity and glory in troubled times. The protagonist and supporting characters are very vivid. The opposition between good and villain is not absolute. The plot is compact, humorous and full of laughter and tears.

    With the same author, there is great love, logic, family affection, and friendship... Every line is full and layered, everyone's character is vivid and flesh-and-blood, and the storyline is very touching. It's not just for the sake of pleasure. It contains the ancient charm of China, the spirit of the Red Army, and the inheritance of the country... It makes people have to be attracted to it and calm down to take a good look. The writing is humorous, full of tears and laughter, and every sentence is a hidden thread, tempting you to continue reading. The only drawback is that the author doesn't know how to name it!!! Another good book delayed by its name!

    ① There were three men sitting in the room. The leader was very handsome. Even Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but look at him twice. However, there was a low pressure all over the man's body. His eyes were like sharp swords.
