End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

Time passed neither fast nor slow. Lu Zhu still felt a little uncomfortable with the presence of outsiders.

But Xie Tang and Xie He didn't think so. Because of Lu Zhu, they had the most satisfying meal in the past few months, no, the most satisfying meal in almost a year.

When the end of the world just started, it happened too suddenly and the family didn’t store much food. At the beginning, they could only have three meals a day for a few days.

Later they found that the flood had not receded and the extreme cold had come again, so they had even less food.

Fortunately, my mother went back to my grandmother’s house once before the natural disaster, and my grandmother packed a lot of local specialties for my mother. Otherwise, they would not have survived the extreme cold and the flood.

But who could have thought that disasters, big and small, would come one after another, my parents were gone, and the money was useless.

At first, the government distributed relief food, but later on, the amount became less and less, and they could never get enough to eat.

At first, they could still find some food in the mud and garbage to survive, but later, when all the government employees moved away, they were in a state of great difficulty.

They don't have any special powers, and his sister is weak. Survival of the fittest, so he can't blame them if they leave. He must protect his sister and live together with her.

They began to look for any fish that had slipped through the net in the city, looking for all kinds of edible and usable things. Sometimes, when they finally found something, it would be snatched away by others.

At the beginning, I was used to using the logic of the previous rule of law society, but later I realized that it was no longer useful.

People all want to live, and only by living can they talk about the so-called Dharma. What’s the point of talking about those things if people can’t live anymore?

He had seen robbery, beatings, and even cannibalism. In order to prevent them from worrying about his sister, he had to hide during the day and go out at night. When he had no other choice, he would take his sister with him.

Because he also understood that if they didn't grow now, they would become food for others.

He taught his sister how to hide, endure, and find things. He also taught her things and knowledge that he thought were useful, so that she could learn survival skills.

So they struggled hard to survive at the bottom of society. He would try to go out to find food during the day, and if he couldn't find anything, they would look for it together at night.

No one felt sorry for them, no one took them in, and apart from the government's help, Lu Zhu was the first person to share food with them in all this time.

Going hungry for nine meals in three days is the basic practice since the end of the world. They have not eaten for five days. When they are hungry, they tighten their belts. When they are thirsty, they drink from the puddle by filtering water with cloth.

When it was extremely hot, they would have drunk all their urine if they hadn't hidden in the sewers.

Tonight they ate roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the drinking water was clean water in mineral water bottles. Xie Tang felt it would be a lie to say he wasn't touched.

Looking at his drowsy sister leaning against him, and then looking at the man curled up on the lazy sofa petting the cat, Xie Tang felt inexplicably relieved.

And judging from her age, she should be about the same age as him, or maybe even younger. Can she live so well alone?

Judging from her rosy complexion and delicate and shiny skin, she should be a person who has enough food and drink, and should not be from here.

Although he didn't know everyone here, he had met almost everyone before, so it was possible for him to recognize their faces.

She must have just passed by here.

The sky gradually brightened, and the sound of the alien mosquitoes outside gradually disappeared~

Lu Zhu's biological clock started at the right time. He didn't sleep deeply last night and dozed off in a daze.

After a night, the solar lights in the cubicle were running low on power and their light became much dimmer.

Lu Zhu stood up, stretched his stiff hands and feet, and yawned softly.

The next moment, their eyes met, and Lu Zhu greeted him without hesitation.

"Good morning~" Lu Zhu greeted politely with a faint smile.

"Good morning, sister~" After last night, Xie He had an inexplicable liking for this sister and responded actively.

"Thank you for taking me in and providing me with food last night~" Xie Tang said calmly, touching his sister's head and speaking a little stiffly.

"No problem~" Lu Zhu replied indifferently. A distance that is neither too close nor too far is the best choice.

Unsure of the situation outside the door, Lu Zhu did not dare to open the door casually. Now he had to let the vanguard go out to explore the way.

Lu Zhu opened the door a crack and sent Zhizhi out.

"Squeak, see if there are any bugs left from last night~" Lu Zhu gave Zhizhi a gentle squeak and reminded it of the task it had to complete.

Zhizhi: "Meow~" means I understand.

Because they still had to wait, Lu Zhu was a little hungry, so he walked behind the lazy sofa and took out something from the space.

Feeling embarrassed to eat alone, she gave each of the brother and sister a sweet potato, and she also peeled one for herself for breakfast.

When Lu Zhu threw the sweet potato, Xie Tang caught it subconsciously, and Xie He also caught the thing thrown to him stupidly.

Seeing that it was sweet potatoes, the brother and sister felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were just casual acquaintances. They had already eaten a meal last night and this morning~

Anyway, I feel like they are taking advantage of her.

"Sister, I'm not hungry. Please take this back. We still have some left from last night!" Xie He and Xie Tang looked at each other. Although they were very short of food, they couldn't do this.

"Yes! Thank you very much for last night. We can't accept it~" Xie Tang continued.

Now everyone has food in their hands. They have already taken a great advantage. They had a good meal last night, and now they are eating and taking more. They are really shameless.

After hearing what they said, Lu Zhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After so long in the apocalypse, their sense of morality is still so strong, which is really rare~

For this reason, she couldn't take back the two sweet potatoes.

"Just take it if I give it to you!" Lu Zhu didn't care about these. There were still many delicious foods in her space. A few sweet potatoes were nothing.

"But~" Xie He wanted to say something~

"No buts, just take it if I give it to you," Lu Zhu interrupted her. Xie He wanted to say something else, but there was a squeaking sound of scratching the door outside.

"Zhizhi is back. It seems everything is fine. Let's go out first~" Lu Zhu ignored the two of them and pushed the door open to go out.

Seeing that she really didn't want to take the sweet potatoes back, the brother and sister looked at each other and put them back into their clothes without any hesitation.

There was not much change outside, but when Lu Zhu saw several big mosquitoes that were bitten to death by Zhizhi last night, he was silent for a moment.

It's such a big one, if it sucks a breath, the health bar in its body will drop by half in an instant!

Lu Zhu observed it carefully, comparing the characteristics of the mutated mosquito with the knowledge he had about ordinary mosquitoes.

In addition to their large size, their mouthparts are very sharp and have barbs.

Xie Tang and Xie He were also shocked that the mosquito that attacked them last night was so big.

"There have never been mosquitoes like this before~" Xie Tang held his sister's hand nervously.

He was terrified when he thought about it now. If they had not been rescued last night, what would have happened to him and Xiao He?

"It's not surprising. There will be more in the future..." Lu Zhu stood up and looked somewhere in the mall, not knowing what he was thinking.
