End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

On the outskirts of the lush oasis, a group of people slowly moved into the oasis.

They were dressed strangely, with something wrapped around their wrists, ankles and necks. If you looked closely, you could see some metallic luster.

As they moved, one could occasionally hear the subtle sound of metal clashing, which was the attack of the alienated plants.

The people leading the way had obviously been here several times before, and their steps were careful and cautious, and they also had the composure of someone who had experienced this.

The few people following at the end were startled by the sudden noises from time to time. They were undoubtedly greenhorns.

"Hua Zai, are we okay this time? I'm a little scared~" A thin boy carefully looked at the flying leaves and vines that flashed by his feet from time to time, but his hands tightly grasped the clothes of his companion in front of him for shelter or comfort.

"Don't be afraid, Wu Hao, as long as we get a crystal core of Camellia sinensis, we will have three months of supplies and food. We just need to follow Leader Yao~" Hua Zai patted his companion's hand soothingly, but his tone was very steady, as if he was not afraid of anything and was as steady as an old dog. He seemed calm on the surface, but only he knew that he was deceiving others and himself. The clenched fists under his sleeves revealed his nervousness.

And above their heads, a pair of eyes stared at them as they gradually went deeper into the oasis.

"People at the back, follow closely and don't leave the team, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself~" The second person in front walked to the side, turned his head and shouted to the back. His voice was not loud, just right for everyone in the team to hear.

"There aren't many tasks this time, but don't~" Before he could finish his words, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and the person who was just talking had half of his head cut off. The person on the other side hadn't reacted yet and even blinked twice.

Blood spurted out from his neck, and the people opposite him were covered in blood.

"Ah~Ah..." Before the person being scolded could do anything, the newcomers behind him started to yell~

The two or three people at the end directly left the team and ran to where they were going.

"Help! Help~ Mom, save me~"

"I quit, I want to go back..."

"Murder! Run! Run..."

"Don't run, stop, stop shouting..." The team leader stood still and lowered his voice to shout at those people who were running around.

But how could they shout at this time? The newcomers were already confused and couldn't hear, and had long forgotten what the people behind them were saying.

"Hua Zai, let's run! We can't stay here~ Let's go~" The people following Hua Zai saw the other companions running away, and pulled him back.

But Hua Zi didn't move, and pulled him towards him, "Don't move, you will die, calm down..."

He regretted that he should not have been with this coward. He was just looking for death and was asking for trouble!

The person behind the leader wiped the blood off his face and shook his head at the leader, "They can't survive, stop shouting~"

As expected, the newcomers didn't run far before they were attacked by a swarm of mutated plants.

One was bound by vines, feeling like being caught in a spider web, which was actually similar to being torn apart by five horses.

One was cut continuously by the flying leaves, but because his hands, feet and neck were all wearing protective gear, he only had a lot of cuts on his body.

One of them was knocked down after running only two steps, and was dragged into the ground, without making any sound.

The few people who were splashed with blood ignored the tragedy over there, or they were used to it. Every time they entered the oasis, there were always a few people who didn't have eyes and didn't learn their lesson from the food for the alienated plants. They calmly took out cleansing wipes and wiped the blood off their faces.

After throwing the bloody wipes far away, the team leader asked a few people to check each other and then set off again.

"Why are you still going in? There are dead people everywhere, didn't you see it?" Wu Hao's psychological defenses completely collapsed, he became hysterical, and had no idea why.

"Wu Hao~ calm down, we can only keep going now~" Hua Zi's forehead was sweating, what was he trying to do? He didn't want to have such a stupid teammate.

Really, if you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs.

"I'm not leaving. I want to go back~" Wu Hao stood there, unwilling to move forward, and started to get angry.

"Are you going to leave or not?" Hua Zi was getting anxious. Seeing that the team had already walked a few meters away, he wanted to catch up, but there was always someone holding him back.

"Hua Zai, let's go together! We can get out by following the original route..." Wu Hao was still encouraging him.

"Now that we're here, there's no reason to turn back. If you want to go back, go ahead! I'm going to get the crystal cores to exchange for food. I'll starve to death if I go out, but I can try to save my life here. Think about it yourself! I'm leaving." Hua Zi ignored him, shook off his hand, and followed the footprints in front of him.

Wu Hao stared blankly at the receding figure, then glanced around at the surroundings. Feeling cold in his heart, he finally followed in the footsteps of others.

"Wa Zai, wait for me~ Don't walk too fast~"

Acid rain fell for five days in a row and the color of the soil changed.

Lu Zhu tentatively poked the rain-soaked ground with a wooden stick. It was moist and wet. It was not the time to go out.

She asked Xie Tang to tell the man named Xiang Xilin in the convoy that no one could go out before the ground was dry, otherwise something would happen.

Xiang Xilin was skeptical and didn't understand what it meant.

“Why can’t we go out? Many people have nothing to eat or drink, so they are waiting for the rain to stop and go out to find something to eat.

Before they issued the notice, Xiang Xilin knew why people were not allowed to go out.

There were corrosive substances in the wet soil. When several people saw the rain had stopped, they were so excited that they ran out directly. As a result, the soles of their shoes, which were not thin to begin with, dissolved directly in the wet ground.

The soles of their feet were corroded beyond recognition, and because of the pain, they fell when they ran back to the unfinished building, which made their injuries even worse.

Xiang Xilin also went to check on their condition and estimated that they were not going to make it. Even if they had a car, with so many wounds and no medicine, it would be normal for them to get inflamed and festered.

Unable to walk and yet need care, they will be the first to be abandoned.

Lu Zhu didn't say anything special. If the weather was good, they would probably have to wait for two more days before leaving.

At this time when there is no water or food, personal safety is the most important thing. The current peace is not real peace.

If we hadn't encountered a service area gas station, the incident would have happened long ago. Now that we are experiencing acid rain and there are few supplies these days, they must be keeping an eye on us.

Although they are all in the same convoy, those restless people would probably do anything to survive!

Lu Zhu took out her usual short knife and sharpened it back and forth on the grindstone. The weapon was a good thing. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but if someone was blind, she didn't mind helping him open it.
