   Ning Fan stared at the name "Sun Wenhui" on the screen, his fingertips almost digging into his palm. The selection exam a month ago, a near-perfect score across all nine assessments, was still vivid in his mind. Even the examiner couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, saying, "The spot in Shangcheng is definitely yours." But now, the name flashing on the screen felt like a needle, piercing all his confidence—how could it be Sun Wenhui? That guy who always barely passed the theoretical exams and spilled reagents during the practical exams, why was he standing where he should be? The chubby boy beside him was still grumbling, "Da Fan, isn't this weird? Yesterday I heard the instructor praise you as a once-in-a-century talent..." Before he could finish, Ning Fan raised his hand to interrupt him. His gaze was fixed on a line of small print in the corner of the notice board. The line, marked in light gray, "Comprehensive evaluation includes family contribution value," was like a blot of ink, instantly staining all his efforts. It turned out that a perfect score was nothing more than a flimsy piece of paper in the face of "contribution value." The air suddenly filled with the smell of disinfectant, much like the hospital room where his mother had spent years. Ning Fan recalled the teacher's hesitant expression when he handed in his application form, and the school leaders' obsequious manner whenever Sun Wenhui's father visited the school. It turned out that those details he had overlooked had been quietly writing the answer all along. He took a deep breath, his nails digging crescent-shaped red marks into his palms. The name on the screen suddenly blurred—not because of tears, but because something burning hot was rising in his chest, burning away all his illusions about fairness.

8. 108 末 Apocalypse: The World Is Infertile, and I’m the Only One Who Can Cure It 末世：全球不孕不育只有我能治 Yu Yue Xingchen俞越星辰Sci-Fi & Apocalypse146k WordsOngoing A realistic zombie survival novel, written entirely by hand. No reborn protagonist, no pocket dimension, no System, no neighborhood war god, and no womanizing hero or goody-two-shoes saint. Everything is grounded in science. It begins with ordinary people surviving and scavenging in a world like "The Walking Dead", then gathering companions, building a base, bringing the warlords under control, conquering the world, and ultimately achieving world peace. 5Reads—Score—Shelves

   Reader note

   I highly recommend this book because it's very realistic. It depicts the survival of ordinary people. I think if the apocalypse came, things would be just like the one described in the book, similar to "The Last Cockroach." It's very realistic.
