Blood Cross: No Way Home 血十字：无归途
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.
