   Who understands?! This is a true ensemble piece about villains! No romance-obsessed characters, no saintly hearts; the female lead and her disciples are all sophisticated egoists, ruthless and decisive, with no attempt to whitewash themselves. The master is the calming agent for this group of madmen, and the disciples have all inherited his skills. They use fellow disciples as test subjects, throw them into formations, and use their own blood to nourish their swords—they betray and kill each other to the extreme, yet rely on one another in crucial moments. This feigned affection is so captivating!

    Yi Hong still felt uneasy, so he gently poked the corpse with his knife. A soft "click" was heard, and the corpse's head suddenly slumped to an unnatural angle. "!! Lie down and take cover!!" Yi Hong yelled, bracing himself with his elbows, and with a "thud," his face was pressed firmly against the ground, his movements as swift as a switch being flipped. The other four reflexively dropped to the ground in unison, instantly entering a state of high alert. "Damn, I finally got on!" Huai Ji, having finally squeezed onto the bus, was about to confront the others when he looked up and froze. "What's going on here? A sleeping contest? Your postures are pretty uniform." He was about to mock their awkwardness when something cold and hard pressed against his back. He casually slapped it, grinning, "What, you're sitting here, are you here to be the referee? Haha..." The smiles froze on their faces as the four on the ground trembled uncontrollably. The atmosphere was incredibly eerie, yet they couldn't hold back their suppressed laughter, which nearly burst out of their throats. "Wait... Five people?" Huai Ji belatedly realized what was happening. He stiffly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the chair—the one he had just been leaning against was the headless corpse. "Holy shit!" Huai Ji was terrified, his body jolting, and he instinctively flung the corpse away. The corpse arced through the air, landing with a "thud" right in the middle of the four lying prone. The four, who had been preparing for a tactical retreat and to continue sabotaging their teammates, looked up to see a corpse flying towards them. "Ahhh—oh my god!" With a near-perfect reaction, they slapped the corpse back down, quickly changing their words, "Go... Go to hell!" Trying to salvage their shattered image with their outburst. "No way, are you guys idiots?!" Huaiyin, unable to contain herself any longer, got up and launched into a tirade. "That thing was just an ordinary corpse, wasn't it?!" She was practically laughing in anger. It was clearly Yi Hong's fault for poking around so carelessly, almost breaking someone's head off. He scared himself, and then dragged everyone else down with him. Before she could even finish her sentence, Yi Si pounced on her, forcibly pulling her hand down, scraping her palm. Now, just seeing the two Yi brothers made her blood pressure spike. Huaiyin grabbed Yi Hong's ear and twisted it hard. "That's enough! A leopard can't change its spots! Tell me! Why did you lie to us?" Yi Hong immediately became contorted with grievance: "No, big sister! It's a matter of life and death, how could I dare lie to you!" "Still pretending, huh?" "Ouch, ouch, ouch—!" Yi Hong instantly lost his previous nonchalant demeanor, frantically winking and blinking at Yi Si for help. Yi Si pretended not to see. Yi Si was caught peeking. Yi Si forced a smile and began, "Um... Huaiyin..." "You want to beg for mercy too?" Huaiyin's smile was forced. "Let me tell you, this is a serious matter. You know the consequences of not finishing him off, right?" Her tone was terrifyingly serious. "I... I know... Right?" Yi Si cautiously probed. "That's good." Huaiyin looked satisfied. Yi Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed: It seems she was just testing my attitude, afraid I'd lower my guard... "Wait! What are you doing!" Yi Si instantly adopted a slow-motion stance, her face turning deathly pale. Huaiyin had already picked up the Etu Yongyuan Blade, raised it high, and was about to cleave it down. "Didn't you agree?" Huaiyin puffed out her cheeks, gripping the blade with a wronged expression. "Is that what I meant?!" Yi Si was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly walked to Yi Hong's side and whispered, "You'd better give her a reasonable explanation." "Tch—a spineless henpecked husband." Yi Hong was still resentful that he hadn't helped her. "Just make up an excuse to get rid of her, right?" "Then good luck to you." Yi Si turned to leave. Yi Hong grabbed him tightly, sobbing, "No! She really will kill me!" Yi Si squeezed his hand back, his face full of pious sorrow: "Brother, you're scared—I'm scared too." He solemnly patted Yi Hong's shoulder, gave him a thumbs-up, and then, seeing Yi Hong's disgusted expression, made a swift escape. "Wait!" A cold shadow suddenly loomed over him, accompanied by the grating sound of metal scraping against metal. Yi Hong stiffly looked up. "Where do you think you're going, little~ Hong~ Hong~?" Huai Yin's voice, like that of a vengeful ghost, slowly descended from above him. Yi Hong broke down on the spot, letting out a desperate roar in his heart, "Yi Si Wo #@&￥%——!!

    This is definitely a must-read for ensemble fiction. It features a single female lead and no harem elements. Based on my research, the world it describes has a significant wealth gap. It also features lone wolves, war zones, apocalypse, teams, armies, convoy migrations, supernatural tales, road survival, sequence upgrades, ghosts, artifacts, and crystals. All of these are quite good. The sequence abilities are within limits. The supernatural tales are also present. The road survival sequence is well-written, with a clear concept of upgrading to enhance combat power. The money concept is also well-developed. The logic is clear, the plot is detailed, and the characters are vividly portrayed. The plot is novel, with foreshadowing and intricate details. It features extensive descriptions. Many plot twists are also good, offering both entertainment and humor. The science fiction elements are also well-developed. It's not mindless. The characters are very realistic. It's not an invincible story, nor is it purely a system-based story. The content is mostly multi-plot, with many novel settings. It's an ensemble fiction, with multiple perspectives and characters. Currently, each character has their own highlights and unique features. Even the minor characters are described in detail, each with their own characteristics and satisfying moments. It's neither purely a wish-fulfillment story nor purely a angst-filled one. It's also not very boring. Overall, it's quite good and I'd give it a positive review. It suits my taste perfectly. I'd recommend it.
