End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

At the south exit of the city, when Lu Zhu and his friends arrived, the line was already very long.

What surprised Lu Zhu was that there were so many people in this seemingly empty city, and many of them had cars.

This is good, at least they won't be so conspicuous.

After counting the number of people in the team and waiting for another half an hour to make sure that everyone who wanted to leave had joined the team, the entire team started on their journey.

The person leading the team this time is called Nian Mingting, and he has a lot of people under him. Lu Zhu guessed that he should be the "boss" that Cheng Xin mentioned.

However, Cheng Xin was not seen in the team. She was probably dead when the mutated locusts appeared. So there was no need for her to stand out now and attract attention.

Lu Zhu's driving skills were not that mature, but because the line was long and he had to take care of the people walking behind him, he didn't drive very fast.

Xie Tang was also seriously learning how to drive. When he stopped to rest, he would also learn to drive for ten or twenty minutes.

He walked and stopped like this, observing and learning. After Lu Zhu gave him a brief explanation, he successfully completed the task in a lightning speed.

Sometimes we have to admit that boys are really gifted in mechanics. Girls need a long time to learn something, but they can get started after just a few lessons.

Everyone has to eat their own food on the road. The team is only responsible for leading the way, not for providing food.

The whole road was bare, obviously it had been ravaged by locusts.

The progress was good in the first two days, but then it slowed down.

Because many cars are out of fuel even if they save money.

The car of Lu Zhu and his team was similar, but before setting off, Lu Zhu asked Xie Tang to find a lot of empty plastic bottles and drain all the oil from the cars near the basement.

It doesn't matter if it's been soaked in water or not, or if it's a car stuck in the mud in a parking lot. So in addition to the fuel tank, there's also a lot of stuff in the car compartment.

Lu Zhu did not hide anything. When she took a break on the way, she also put some oil into the tank. However, it was not much, just enough for a few kilometers. So when Xie Tang was driving, he still felt that this was a good car and did not consume much fuel.

Fortunately, when the crowd was getting anxious, they entered another small town where there was basically no one.

While resting here, many people go out together to look for supplies and food.

There are no mutated locusts here, but you can still find some edible wild vegetables, or there are some remnants from the previous vegetable garden that you can dig out and eat.

However, there are too many people and too little porridge, so many people fight over a potato or a sweet potato, and it is not surprising that some people just grab the food.

The man named Nian Mingting did not stop this behavior, but was happy to see it happen, because every time they fought and looted, someone would get hurt, and when they got injured or sick, they would expel these people from the team.

If we say that the natural disasters of the end of the world are the survival of the fittest, then these can also be regarded as a kind of artificial survival of the fittest.

The convoy, which was originally about 200 meters long, is now only about 100 meters after repeated "metabolism".

Sometimes when we set off after a rest, we could hear wailing from behind the convoy. Of course, some people managed to catch up with the others with their extraordinary perseverance, but without food and water, it was useless to follow them.

It was another day, and around three in the afternoon, it started to drizzle. The weather was bad and the roads were difficult to walk on.

Xie Tang came out of the cab only when they stopped to rest.

"Let's eat!" Seeing that he had stopped, Xie He hurriedly called his brother to eat.

A pot of batter was cooking on the gas stove, which contained some wild vegetables that Lu Zhu and Xie He had picked during their break.

Lu Zhu's life has been the most boring recently, because he can't take out the good things in the space and eat them in front of others.

Human beings are like this. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

But Lu Zhu didn't do anything for this reason. When he was very hungry, he said he was going to drink water, but in fact he was going to have a snack.

Simple steamed buns and steamed dumplings, which do not have a strong smell and can fill the stomach quickly, go into the stomach quietly.

The batter didn't taste very good, with a slightly bitter taste of wild vegetables, but the two siblings ate it with great relish.

Lu Zhu didn't eat much. He simply finished what was in his bowl and let the two of them share what was in the pot.

The siblings Xie Tang and Xie He also knew that Lu Zhu had a secret, but they didn't ask unless she told them.

For example, the cat she used to bring with her, the sweet potatoes they used to eat, and the fact that she didn’t eat much each time but her complexion remained normal.

"Knock, knock, knock~" Just as Lu Zhu put down the bowl, someone knocked on their car door.

"Is anyone there? Do you have any cold medicine? Just give us one. Our child is sick." A woman's voice shouted sadly outside the car.

Xie He put down the half-eaten bowl, looked at Xie Tang and then at the car door.

Lu Zhu was sitting near the outside. She didn't open the door, but just gently pulled open the curtain a little and saw the woman outside the car.

The woman was wearing a thin, transparent raincoat and holding a child in her arms. She was obviously unconscious.

Lu Zhu just watched, and Xie Tang and Xie He didn't move either. There were many such things happening along the way.

At first, some people would open their car doors to help others, but there would always be people who took the opportunity to cause chaos and rob.

Some people specifically control women and children and make them deceive others' sympathy. If they find there is a man in the car after opening the door, they will walk away angrily.

If there are women or thin people in the car, they will attack directly, rush over and control everyone in the car, rob them of everything, and drive them out of the car.

In the last days, letting go of the desire to help others is the best way to save your life.

Perhaps because she saw that Lu Zhu and the others ignored her, she carried the child and walked to the next car, continuing to knock on the door.

"Sister Lu Zhu, will the child die?" Xie He asked with some concern. Maybe she was still young, and in her opinion, helping each other was a traditional virtue.

"Maybe, maybe not, but without medicine, he will have a hard time." Lu Zhu took another look at the rain outside and lowered the car curtain.

The end result was that the woman was pulled into a van by several men after walking a few cars forward.

Two hours later, she and her child were brutally thrown out, their clothes in tattered pieces, their bodies covered in bruises without a single piece of healthy flesh, and the same was true for the child.

But no one stepped forward, and even though they all knew what was happening, no one dared to speak.

Xie He was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound. She huddled in the corner and bit the corner of her clothes. She was afraid.

Lu Zhu didn't say much, just walked up and touched her head.

"The end of the world is like this. If you want to survive, you must become stronger. Otherwise, their today may be your tomorrow. Only by becoming stronger can you control your own destiny."

Xie He didn't say anything, tears fell one by one

When they set off again, Lu Zhu drove the car, and Xie Tang was in the back to comfort her.
