End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

Chapter 10: Omens of the End

During this period, Lu Zhu paid close attention to global news, especially news about weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, and continued warming.

Country R has recently experienced frequent earthquakes, and the Sakura Volcano continues to emit thick smoke, which is a sign of an eruption. Country M has hurricanes and tornadoes sweeping across the country, and the tropical regions have experienced continuous high temperatures for 200 days without a drop of rain.

The glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic have melted on a large scale, and land has been exposed in most areas. In some places, green plants have even grown. The sea level continues to rise, and people who live near the sea are inexplicably panicked.

These are all very abnormal, but people have no sense of crisis at all.

Lu Zhu was walking on the road fully armed. The temperature in the former cool city now feels like 38 degrees Celsius outside. You can even fry an egg on the ground. I don't know how hot it will be in other places.

Seeing a small pickup truck selling watermelons on the roadside, Lu Zhu couldn't help but step forward. The price was very favorable, so he got into the boss's car and went directly to his house to check out the watermelons.

The boss is a melon farmer. He has more than ten acres of melons, all of which are big, thin, crispy and sweet watermelons. The melons burst open with a "bang" as soon as the knife touches them. They are big red watermelons with sandy flesh.

Lu Zhu collected all the melons from the surrounding area, and more than ten tons of them were piled up in the space, which was a spectacular sight.

All the melons were harvested and the melon farmers were very happy. Although it was a hot day, the sun was too strong and the ripe melons would easily rot in the fields.

Now the entire space only has two houses which feels a little empty, while other places are packed full, and there are things placed on the dozen acres of black soil as well.

For the chickens, ducks and geese, Lu Zhu ordered an extra-large three-story chicken and duck cage with an empty cage underneath for the feces to fall down and be cleaned up and used as fertilizer.

The cattle and sheep were also penned up and fed grass at fixed times every day. They could not eat all the grass on the black soil. One night, a half-bald grass that had just been eaten the day before would grow taller than a person the next day. They looked extremely pleasing to the eye and gained weight visibly.

The property management in the community group reminds residents from time to time to pay attention to sun protection, because many elderly and weak people suffer from heat stroke and faint from time to time, and the sound of ambulances can often be heard.

Lu Zhu was running on the treadmill while reading the messages in the group.

1203 said silently: "When will this horrible weather end? Today I saw someone fainting from the heat downstairs in Building 3. This is the nth time~"

801 Knight Rider: "Our community is still good. I heard that there were two elderly people in Chengzhong Garden who didn't want to use the air conditioner for fear of wasting electricity. They got heat stroke and their accounts were cancelled."

603 million Duoduo: "Really? So scary"

1203 said silently: "It's so scary. It seems that we should not save money~"

1502 Midnight Pumpkin Porridge: "Who said it wasn't~"

2002 Manman Lingyu: "Speaking of heat, our top floor is the hottest. If I don't turn on the air conditioner for two minutes, my whole body will feel like it has been washed with water. I will still feel sticky even if I take a shower three times a day."

1101 2002:20 AM: "@曼曼玲玉, it seems like there are more than one family living on the th floor! How come I've never seen her speak before? Could she have fainted from the heat at home?"

2002 Manman Lingyu: "Probably not. I saw her running in the community park when I went downstairs this morning."

604 The Almighty Magician: "Amazing! You're still running in this weather. Although it's cooler in the morning, it's still 28-9 degrees Celsius! Aren't you afraid of getting a heat stroke?"

1003 The Day After Tomorrow: "Why do you mind other people's business? It's better for everyone to mind their own business!"

102 Disappearing Time: "I looked at the weather forecast and found that a typhoon is coming to the coastal areas. It will soon be cooler. If there is a typhoon along the coast, the temperature here will also drop."

603 million Duoduo: "Really! That's great, it's really a life-saving typhoon~"

The treadmill beeped, and the 2-hour timer was up, so Lu Zhu walked slowly for another 15 minutes.

Lu Zhu turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel, and sure enough, they were all talking about the news that Typhoon "Sweetheart" was about to land.

In addition, due to the increasingly serious greenhouse effect of the blue planet and the global high temperature, many snow-capped mountains that used to be covered with snow all year round have lost their snow. Even the snow on the world's highest peak has melted to the middle of the mountain. Although it is still majestic, it seems to be missing something without the veil.

People living on the plateau looked at the snow on the mountaintops with fear and anxiety. Thousands of years of awe have given them a kind of god-like faith in the snow-capped mountains.

Suddenly Lu Zhu felt a little shaking under his feet, the ceiling above his head was shaking, and the things on the table were shaking.

This is an earthquake.

Sure enough, within three hours, there was a news report about an earthquake in H City. The 9.8-magnitude earthquake caused thousands of houses to collapse, countless people to be injured, missing, and buried, and cracks appeared on H City’s landmark buildings.

Lu Zhu looked at it indifferently. It was the same in the previous life. It started with global high temperatures, followed by earthquakes in many places, and then typhoons and hurricanes swept across the country. With heavy rain and strong winds, humans could not go out and missed many opportunities to stockpile supplies.

Then came the extreme cold, with the temperature dropping from over 30 degrees to minus 20 degrees overnight, killing a large number of unprepared people. One natural disaster after another caught countless people off guard, and by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late to regret.

Lu Zhu turned off the TV, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and looked out the window with a cold gaze. The air was still a little twistedly hot, and the trees in the garden were listless.

The community owners' group has become lively again, and everyone is discussing the earthquake~

Only Lu Zhu knows that the end of the world is about to begin

"Ring..." Lu Zhu's cell phone suddenly rang~

Lu Zhu glanced at the screen and found that it was Shi Yan. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month since the last time.

In the quiet private dining room, Shi Yan met Lu Zhu. After Shi Yan sat down, Lu Zhu asked the waiter to serve the dishes, and the private dishes came up one after another.

"Uncle Shi, eat some food..." Lu Zhu called.

Shi Yan looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lu Zhu ordered a table full of dishes for two people.

Shi Yan took out a very delicate small box from his pocket and said, "This is for you from Mr. Lin."

"Give it to me?" Lu Zhu was puzzled.

"The Liu Group was acquired by President Lin three months ago. This is a meteorite that President Lin bought at an auction. It's a thank-you gift to you!" Shi Yan said slowly, observing Lu Zhu's expression. However, Lu Zhu didn't react at all. Instead, she took the gift box calmly, which puzzled him. She was not surprised at all when she heard that her own company had gone bankrupt. Did she know about it a long time ago?

"I didn't expect Uncle Lin to be so quick..." The moment Lu Zhu opened the box, he suddenly felt a strong sensation in the space... His heart was beating wildly~

Lu Zhu's eyes sparkled with stars, and he thought: What a good thing!

After hearing Lu Zhu's answer, Shi Yan understood that Mr. Lin's acquisition of Liu must have benefited from Lu Zhu!

What he didn't know was that Lu Zhu had taken away almost all of their working capital, causing their funding chain to be cut off. Once Lin attacked them, they had no ability to fight back and could only sell off their shares.

In less than a month, the Lin Group controlled 68% of Liu's shares. Seeing this situation, the cunning shareholders also sold their shares to the Lin Group, which was a good thing for Lin Jiadong.

As a result, the two brothers Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Zhiqiang went completely bankrupt.
