   1. This is my favorite post-apocalyptic novel about stockpiling. In terms of completeness and rationality of stocking up, it is pretty good among the various post-apocalyptic novels I have read. 2. The upgrade of space, regardless of the size and the areas involved in the space (warehouses, hot springs, plantings, grasslands, snow mountains, and the sea), are relatively complete and reasonable. For someone who reads doomsday novels all year round, I prefer this kind of complete small world. 3. The male and female protagonists have online IQs and reasonable operation logic. They are not saintly and decisive in doing things. The emotional lines in the article don't feel too boring after reading it. 4. I also like the way of getting along with the country, the male protagonist's elders, and his comrades. He has positive energy, but he is not a bad person, so he doesn't feel too depressed when he looks at it.
