   These two books are super good. I love reading about the female protagonist surviving among madmen. These two books are mindless and exciting.

2. 2 血 Blood Cross: No Way Home 血十字：无归途 Pony Wants Mooncakespony要吃月饼Sci-Fi & Apocalypse737k WordsOngoing Blood Cross-esque, inspired by Crazy Disease. No rebirth, pocket dimension, special powers, stockpiling, or System, and no romance either. The apocalypse arrives without warning, and everyone struggles to survive on equal footing. An ensemble story about a team. The female lead is self-serving and self-centered. She doesn't embody the spirit of helping one another through the apocalypse. There is a saintly type among the main cast, but the team's overall moral standards are still below passing. 38.7kReads9.2Score5.2kShelves

   It's incredibly good, the pacing is perfect, the female lead is incredibly powerful, and the team is already formed. The 1.89-meter-tall Quan Jie is the other main fighter besides the female lead. Recently, we saw they recruit a doctor; everyone is normal. We haven't seen any superpowers yet, but the female lead sometimes enters a mad state, during which she can conceal her human presence. It's thanks to this that she's escaped countless life-or-death crises. However, there are still several bosses constantly chasing her, making it very difficult.

   This book isn't often recommended; it's an ensemble piece where each unit features a different protagonist, but all the female characters, whether main or supporting, are very well-developed. Some scenes are incredibly powerful (I highly recommend the mental hospital unit). The ending is also a rare near-happy conclusion in the Blood Cross post-apocalyptic setting.
