End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

It was a dark mass covering the sky and the sun, accompanied by the buzzing sound of flapping wings, leaving no grass behind wherever it passed.

Lu Zhu ran all the way, looking everywhere. She wanted to find a relatively enclosed space. She could feel that the thing behind her was not easy to deal with.

The few people who fell behind her were not so lucky. Seeing the dark scene, several people who were seriously injured and fell to the ground also reacted.

Those who were only slightly injured didn't care about their companions, and they just hid to save their lives. When the police saw such an oppressive thing flying over, they knew it was coming with bad intentions, and the few people who could still move left their companions and fled.

Cheng Xin covered his chest, dragged his legs, and staggered forward. His speed was not as fast as when he was healthy, but it was not slow either.

Seeing that things were going badly, Wen Risen endured the pain and ran towards a place where he could hide.

Unfortunately, one of the younger brothers could not move his lower body, and when he saw him running, he hurriedly grabbed his ankle.

He fell to the ground, and his already serious wounds opened even wider. Wen Risen's face was distorted due to the pain.

"Brother Sen, please take me away~" He was extremely frightened and looked at Wen Risen with pleading eyes.

I tried hard to crawl forward, hoping to get Wen Risen's mercy.

Little did he know that Wen Risen now wanted to kill him, so he tried to stand up and kicked him.

"Go to hell, you bastard, how dare you implicate me~" Wen Risen cursed and kicked the person on the ground several times.

He looked up and found that the things that were originally far away were now visible to the naked eye. He was so scared that he crawled back into the house.

As he ran, he even saw the advance troops flying past him. Their bodies were purple-red, with a pair of thick antennae on their heads, wings on both sides of their bodies, and the edges of their wings were covered with sharp little teeth. They had three pairs of feet, two pairs of thin legs, and a pair of thighs. They had two serrated knife-like mouthparts.

These are locusts ~ each one is slightly larger than a man's palm. Judging from the color, they should be mutant insects.

Wen Risen was very scared when he saw a door next to him. He didn't care about the pain in his body at this time. He flexibly crawled in and closed the door with a slam.

Just as he closed the door, the army came in like a rainstorm, making a crackling sound, which continued.

"Help, it's just me~" Wen Risen could vaguely hear the younger brother's cry for help amidst the overwhelming noise~

"Help! Ah... Help..." The voice gradually weakened and then slowly disappeared.

Wen Risen hid behind the door, shivering and covering his ears.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it felt like only a short time had passed.

When there was no other sound outside, he dared to look out through the window glass.

Some ordinary plants and even moss that originally grew in the corners of the wall in front of the house have disappeared.

Wen Risen opened the door and the scene in front of him frightened him so much that he staggered and sat on the ground.

One step away from the door was a pale skeleton, very fresh, with obvious traces of flesh and blood.

This is ~ the little brother who pulled his leg just now ~

There was nothing in his eye socket anymore. A purple-red locust with a full belly was still in his eye socket, gnawing on a piece of fascia.

"Ah~" Wen Risen couldn't help but let out a short shout and ran out of the room.

He wanted to run, he wanted to run to a safe place.

As soon as he ran out of the door, he saw a skeleton lying in the place of the body that had died under Lu Zhufeng's blade.

Wen Risen was almost scared to death, but he still had a clear mind and knew that the locusts were flying to the right, so he had to run to the left.

But what he didn't know was that his shout just now had been heard by the locusts still nearby, and the smell of blood on his body was a fatal temptation to the purple locusts.

So before he ran far, a wave of mutated purple locusts found him by smelling the scent.

In just a few breaths, they surrounded him.

“Ah~ Help… Help…” Wen Risen kept shouting and rolling but no one came to save him.

"Bang, bang, bang~" A few gunshots blew away the alien locusts that were still eating. Wen Risen took the gun and temporarily escaped from the locusts.

But he no longer looked like a human being. Only strips of cloth remained on his clothes, and the exposed parts of his hands and face were bloody.

Even the hand holding the gun was the same, with only a skeleton left.

The original wound on the arm was bitten to the point where the bones were visible, and the intestines in the abdomen were exposed.

It sounds slow, but in just a few breaths of time, the mutated locusts flew up, but when they found that there was no substantial damage, they pounced on their food again.

This time, even if Wen Risen fired again, he couldn't scare away a few mutated locusts~

As Lu Zhu ran, she heard shouts behind her and the sound of flapping wings getting closer and closer.

But most of these houses are shops, and there are few places to hide people.

She was considering whether she should go directly into the space to hide and come out after this wave of insects passed.

"This way~" A voice sounded in front of her left, and Lu Zhu subconsciously looked over there.

Seeing the familiar face, she hid in the door he opened without hesitation and quickly closed it again.

This scene seemed familiar, but this time the two were reversed and it became them who saved her.

This was a stairwell. Lu Zhu heard the noise outside and it would not stop for a while. He took a breath and smiled at the brother and sister.

"Thank you~" Lu Zhu thanked sincerely.

"It's not safe here, come with us~" Xie Tang looked out through the crack in the door, turned around and said to Lu Zhu.

"Sister, come this way~" Xie He came over with a smile on his face, took Lu Zhu's hand and led her inside.

They went down through the stairwell, turned twice, and arrived at an underground garage. Xie Tang took out a key from his pocket and opened the garage door.

Only then did Lu Zhu realize that this was the brother and sister's secret base.

The space inside is not small, with a RV in the middle, but it is a small one.

The entire garage was filled with supplies they had found, including the pedal tricycle they had bought not long ago.

There are some empty water bottles, used instant noodle buckets, and torn biscuit bags here, but it seems that they have been soaked in water before, and some have been dug out from the mud.

In the corner was a pile of food and supplies that they had picked up today. It seemed that they had been out of food for a while!

There are simple tables, chairs and benches, and there is a small solar lamp on the table to provide lighting for the entire garage.

The worn-out bedding was spread on the cardboard, and there was a brazier made of a stainless steel basin with a barbecue net on it and a blackened kettle on top.

"It's a bit messy here, please sit anywhere!" Xie Tang scratched the back of his head and asked Lu Zhu to sit down somewhat embarrassedly.
