Looking for some good ensemble-cast post-apocalyptic novels. Superpowers are fine, but no System. Ideally, the story explains where the powers come from, and the main plot revolves around uncovering the truth behind the apocalypse or the origins of the powers. Male lead or no female lead. Something like Cuttlefish's Embers of the Long Night would be perfect.

The book is so beautiful! The heroine Li Peibai is reborn in the apocalypse. She ignores life and regards everything as a resource, including human beings. After reading these settings, I suddenly realized that this plot is the right one. It is the real apocalyptic story. When the rituals and music collapse, this is the most reasonable description. Why are you reading this book? It's because of Sang Biao, the protagonist in another book by the author. In this book, she is the female supporting character who eventually becomes a church pastor. In the end of the world, survival is the most fundamental thing. All plot processing only allows winning, otherwise, there is only death. Therefore, everything has been materialized, food is material; people are also materials, and valuable people are just materials with higher prices. The end of the world in the article is not only loss, plants, animals, everything is mutating. This is a kind of breaking the rules of human primates, and it is a reshaping of the world view. In the end of the world, the weak are eliminated. Although Jingjing has some fixed text routines, it is truly beautiful, completely incomparable to ordinary apocalyptic writing, and written thoroughly. Recommend.
