End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

Chapter 13 Struggle for Power

The water level stopped rising at the 6th floor and the rain stopped. During this time, a rescue helicopter was seen flying overhead. It dropped several bags of supplies into the water in each building where there were still survivors. The people in the building who could swim quickly jumped into the water to salvage the supplies.

The supplies were simple, clean drinking water, compressed biscuits, some easily storable food and some simple life-saving medicine, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the entire building.

Because of the dispute over materials, many people were eager to become the boss of the building so that they could get more materials.

The most fierce fight was between the two groups who broke into the house for the first time. Later on, their team was joined by many people who wanted to rob the house. It ended in a vicious fight with eight people slightly injured, six seriously injured, two seriously injured and unconscious. Finally, the two seriously injured died. The building manager of the 1604th floor was born, Qing Yunfei.

Qing Yunfei is 28 years old. He used to be a boxing coach. He has many apprentices under him. Several boxing coaches were arranged by the owner to live in the dormitory on the 16th floor.

So once the conflict broke out, they won overwhelmingly, and the ones who got hurt were all the people on the other side, while their side only had minor scratches.

"Knock, knock, knock! Come out, whoever's inside. In order to survive together, we've elected a building leader. Come out and say hello to everyone." Someone was knocking on the door every house.

Lu Zhu also heard it, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. She packed up her things at home and opened the two doors.

She hadn't washed her hair for five or six days, and due to daily exercise, her greasy hair was so messy that it covered half of her face.

The clothes she wore were too big, making her look petite, but they were clean, with a few stains. She looked listless, half bent over, and had no energy. I looked out through the gap in the security door.

"Is there anything to eat, Building Manager?" Lu Zhu asked right away, very good at taking advantage of the situation. In fact, it didn't matter whether there was food or not, as she had plenty of it in her space. The important thing was not to be noticed by others during this extraordinary period and not to be the maverick.

At this time 2002 also opened the door. The girl also looked hungry and weak. Was her boyfriend one of those who were seriously injured and died in the previous power struggle?

She also looked pitiful, and when she heard Lu Zhu's question, she looked at Qing Yunfei hopefully.

"Ahem~" Qing Yunfei coughed twice and said, "We have obtained some relief supplies from the government before. Now we can give each family three bottles of water, ten compressed biscuits and some other food. If we eat sparingly, we should be able to hold out until rescue."

As he spoke, someone took some things and distributed them to them. Qing Yunfei continued, "We are all neighbors. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I hope that we can help each other and benefit from each other in the future, and get through the flood together."

“Yeah~” Lu Zhu nodded and backed away.

After listening to Qing Yunfei's speech, she said thank you and quickly closed the door.

Qing Yunfei looked at the closed door in a daze, remembering that little girl looked only about 15-16 years old and was alone. No wonder she was so alert. She must have heard the sounds of fighting below. He felt helpless and a little bit amused.

The girl from 2002 was not afraid. She looked at the tall and strong Qing Yunfei and instead leaned close to him delicately.

The rain stopped and the sun came out a little. Lu Zhu knew it was the calm before the storm. Standing on the balcony and looking at the vast world, he fell into deep thought.

Less than 48 hours after the heavy rain, when people are still rejoicing, the extreme cold will come.

We have to find a way to go out and look for supplies, otherwise we won’t be able to find them once the ground freezes over.

There were yachts, speedboats, hovercrafts, and kayaks in the space, but they could not be taken out in public. Swimming was definitely not an option. Although she saw some people had already gone into the water, she would not do that. There were too many dangerous factors in this murky water.

There are tree branches, undercurrents, and maybe even dangerous animals hiding in the water. In short, it's too dangerous.

Finally, she thought for a long time and wandered around in the space for a long time, and finally found it in a corner.

Lu Zhu went downstairs with difficulty. Why was it difficult? Because she was carrying a large plastic bathtub. It was not very heavy, but it was large and difficult to carry when she went downstairs. It kept bumping into things.

Especially when she went down to the 12th or 13th floor, the corridor was full of people and it was hard to go down. Others kept looking at her, asking, "Why are you holding a bathtub? You want to take a bath now?" They didn't even look at how turbid the water was.

Although there were people who broke into the house at the beginning and several families moved in, there were at least dozens of people from the first to the sixth floors, and it was impossible for them all to squeeze in.

With the official supply, no one wants to do anything illegal anymore. Now that the rain has stopped, it is only a matter of time before the water recedes. China's rescue efforts are not exaggerated, and they will be quick.

Those people who broke into the house will definitely be sued, and they don't want to be sued.

But their estimate was wrong. No rescue could come. This was a global disaster, and the disaster situation in many places in the country was much more serious than that in City F.

Lu Zhu's hands were tired of holding the bathtub, so she simply put the bathtub on her head. Although her vision was affected, her hands were freed and the pressure was relieved.

The smell is self-evident when you get down there. It's so intoxicating.

The windows of the safety passage from the 6th to the 7th floor had been removed before, which made it convenient for Lu Zhu to get the rescue supplies.

He put the bathtub in the water, stepped in carefully, and paddled with his hands as oars. After getting used to the feeling, he found the right direction and paddled away into the distance.

At this time, the people who had been paying attention to her in the corridor and those near the window understood what she was doing. She was escaping.

After getting the inspiration, everyone started looking for things and thinking about getting out.

When Lu Zhu rowed far away and was out of everyone's sight, he took out the rubber boat from the space and sat on it. He also remembered to put away the bathtub. He didn't know what would happen in the future, but it might still be useful!

I had explored the direction of nearby supplies before, so now I was familiar with the route and hurried to collect the supplies.

After twelve days of rain, only the roofs of the low-rise buildings were left, and the tall buildings stood like isolated islands in the water.

Lu Zhu first arrived at a supermarket. Theirs was the largest supermarket in City F. The first floor was for shops, the second for clothing, the third and fourth floors were for supermarkets, the fifth floor was a restaurant, and above the sixth floor was a large amusement park.

F City is located in the mountains, with high and low terrain. This shopping mall is originally high, and the foundation of the shopping mall is high and the floors are also high, so the residential buildings are flooded to the 6th and 7th floors, and this side will also be flooded to the third floor.

Lu Zhu changed the bathtub in a shady place not far from the city, and quietly entered the mall through the ventilation window on the third floor.

The water was about one meter deep, already covering Lu Zhu's buttocks and almost reaching his waist. Lu Zhu shuddered. Although he had changed into a waterproof diving suit in the space, the water was really cold! The duck knows when the water warms up in spring! It turned out that there were signs before the extreme cold came.

It was dark inside without a light, so Lu Zhu took out a flashlight from the space. Many things that were placed low had already floated on the water. Looking at the shelves inside, Lu Zhu put them into the space one by one, including the floating ones.
