It will only take them 3 years after getting separated but basically they can still talk to each other through visits and communicator although it is limited. It is like they are in a long distance relationship but in here there is kind of no guarantee if Miao Miao's husband Lu Qiming can still take it. After all, it left him trauma from becoming a lab rat and this is what I find quite pitiful in his character that he had to relive his experience again.

Also, initially in the story the ML is 48 years old (he was 27 years old when he was held hostage and became a lab rat 20 years ago) while the FL is 22 years old (21 but turned 22 during the apocalypse). Pardon me in this part since the narrative of the timeline is sometimes changing, they just got separated for 3 years (although in the earlier times it was mentioned they got separated for 3-4 years) so considering their one year together in the start of the apocalypse, another year in the lab and Miaomiao joining the rescue team, plus the 2-3 years rehabilitation of the city. I guess the apocalypse lasted for 4-5 years.

The MC is an average lazy college student who transmigrated into a novel 3 days before the apocalypse began she’s obviously weak she hasn’t learned any martial arts isn’t given a magic system abilities or space basically normal and no way to defend herself. She decides to stock food with whatever money she has and die once the food is over cuz she doesn’t wanna struggle or turn into a zombie which I felt was very relatable.

then one day the ML suddenly shows up and he’s strong basically does all the protecting n uses his brain now I understand why many found MC annoying and useless and sometimes ungrateful but I personally loved her character I would have that kind of mindset if I was in her situation like no way in a week I can suddenly learn to use a knife or fight and I’d obviously think zombies are ugly and scary cant suddenly adapt and be a female god very realistic so overall a good story

The MC was so dimwitted and everytime she needs help from others, she can only keep on promising that she will do everything for them. As to what that everything is beats me because she does not have any skills nor ability at all aside from depending on the people around her and demanding their help. Her only purpose was being someone the ML sleeps with and nothing else. Even her ability to analyze problem and resolve them was subpar. She will ALWAYS need the help of the people around her. She won't even be able to get out of her house without someones help. That's how useless she was.

As for the ML, he did deserved the useless MC. He was betrayed by his so called friend because he was unable to detect that he was just pulling his leg (he gets emotionally invested real quick. You don't have to do anything significant, just tell him your sob story and he'll be willing to sacrifice himself for you and your family). He was experimented on for 20 freaking years because of how gullible he was and when it was time for pay back, the only thing he did was tie the other person up and left him inside the house without doing anything else!!! Maybe he should have been subjected to those experinments for a couple of years more so he can grow some brains!!!

Utter waste of time. What a tr*shy novel.
