End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

Lu Zhu came here with a purpose. This is the provincial capital, and the storage capacity of the provincial library or school library should be sufficient.

Her goal now is to collect books. She learned too little in the past, and reading is her obsession.

Even if I don't understand it myself, it would be good if I could leave it to future generations, or to those in need, or to those who are eager to learn.

A country’s history and culture are all in books. If these are gone, what will be passed on in the future?

With a goal in mind, she started walking around the city, and often she could still see heads popping out of the windows.

But they just watched her from a distance, because they saw that she only had a broken bicycle and nothing on her.

In hot weather, no matter how much clothes you wear, they are still thin. And they also heard from people who came back that it was a thin girl who came to the city to seek refuge.

Lu Zhu walked around and soon found the school. It was an elementary school. There were empty classrooms everywhere. It was heartbreaking to see them. She wondered how those children were doing now. Were they alive or...

Here Lu Zhu saw the vending machines that had been pried open and the convenience stores that had been looted. It seemed that these places had been visited by people a long time ago.

Lu Zhu saw the location of the library on the campus signpost, walked in the empty school, and climbed up to the library on the third floor of the comprehensive building.

There were rows of bookshelves, all filled with books, but some of the books on the lower shelves had been soaked in water, and the corners were a little deformed and warped...

Lu Zhu did not dislike it and collected everything including the bookshelf. When passing by the teacher's office and the principal's office, he also took everything inside.

After a brief tour of the primary school, Lu Zhu walked out of the school gate and continued walking around the city, wanting to go to the city library.

But on the way, he came across the Jiuhua Bookstore, the largest bookstore in China. Lu Zhu's eyes lit up. This was the most comprehensive library in China.

Although the site was deliberately chosen on higher ground, the first and second floors were inevitably severely flooded, and the subsequent melting of the snow brought a second wave of floods.

The books in Jiuhua Bookstore were also badly damaged. Lu Zhu was picking out the books that could be used. Many books fell to the ground because of the flood. After the water receded, yellow mud, sand, garbage and other things were all dirty.

There was also a serious moisture problem. Although the water had receded, the books were not dried out immediately, so they were all sticking together and some were even moldy.

The first and second floors were the worst hit. When the books were picked up from the ground, some of the book covers were stuck to the ground, some fell apart when they were picked up because they were glued together and the glue lost its effect after being soaked in water for a long time, and some were deeply sunk in the mud, trying hard to show a corner to prove that they were still there.

The third and fourth layers were better, although they had been soaked, most of the books were not contaminated. They were just swollen.

Lu Zhu was afraid that taking the books carelessly would damage the integrity of the books, so just like in the elementary school, he put the books and the bookshelf together into the space.

After closing Jiuhua Bookstore, Lu Zhu continued to stroll around the city. Looking at the tall buildings one after another, the city’s former prosperity was self-evident.

But now the place is deserted and extremely desolate. This is a true portrayal of many places nowadays. Lu Zhu is not familiar with this place, so he can only walk by feeling.

Lu Zhu accidentally came to the building materials market, and the bored person went in to take a look. Unexpectedly, he found some unexpected gains. Because there were no essential items in the building materials market, it was the best preserved place after the apocalyptic disaster.

Faucets, bathroom cabinets, shower rooms, toilets, pedestal basins, showers, bathtubs, towel racks, urinals, squat toilets, mop troughs, sauna equipment, bathroom accessories, exterior wall tiles, interior wall tiles, square mosaics, glazed tiles, ceramic molds, ceramic raw materials, ceramic machinery, latex paint, water-based paint, nano paint, wood coatings, general coatings, automotive coatings, architectural coatings, light industrial coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, paints, polyester paints, wood coatings, nitro paints, polyurethane paints, anti-rust paints, waterproof paints, fire retardant paints. Seeing Lu Zhu's eyes shining, if he didn't take it now, when would he?

Wooden doors, aluminum alloy doors and windows, plastic steel doors and windows, glass doors and windows, wooden floors, solid wooden floors, multi-layer wooden floors, laminate floors, bamboo floors, cork floors, geothermal floors, anti-static floors, plastic floors, rubber floors, wood plastic floors. Although the laminate floors are all soaked in floating capsules, ordinary wooden floors can still be collected, which is much better than cutting down trees. These floors are piled up in the warehouse, which is also very convenient to collect.

Although they are made of wood, their density and quality are very high, and they will not float away even if they are soaked in water for so long.

Plastic film, waterproof cloth, bubble protective film, take-out cling film, nails, hammers, iron mesh, stainless steel mesh, various plastic meshes, and various hardware products can be seen everywhere in the building materials market.

Of course, these were all seen after Lu Zhu opened the store door and warehouse door, or the kitchen window door that was damaged by the flood, and then went in.

Lu Zhu would not take all of it, he would take half of the extra in the warehouse and keep the other half. After all, there were still people here, and the supplies were equally important to them.

Some people are still hoping for the best, thinking that this natural disaster is temporary and that stability will return once the water recedes, but this is impossible.

At least the apocalypse she knew about hadn't ended in 8 years. But her knowing it didn't mean everyone knew it. Although she didn't know if others would remember the supplies, leaving them with them would also give them a chance to survive.

After all, Lu Zhu didn't want to be alone on Lanxing, it would be more lively with more people.

Many people in this city also saw her strange actions. Why didn't she go find food or daily necessities? How could she get food by running to the library or the building materials market?

They had been to those places before, and there was nothing to eat, what a waste of energy.

There are also smart ones who wonder if these things can be used as stepping stones to enter the base.

After Lu Zhu left, more and more people entered the building materials market to collect things.

Their idea was wise, because these materials were needed to rebuild the base, and the first people with brains would be qualified to enter the base after the psychics.

That’s all for later, let’s get back to the topic.

Lu Zhu made a lot of money, but he still didn't forget to go to the city library. He could have visited more places, but he had spent too much time in the building materials market, so he had to hurry up.

Finally, after asking a boy with a broken leg, Lu Zhu got the direction and went straight to the city library.

Because it was getting late, if she didn't hurry up, the foodie at home would probably rebel. It was the one that could not stand hunger the most, and there was indeed not much to eat outside now.

Xuan Guang looks big, but it is indeed still a big baby. It is still at the age of growing up and cannot be hungry. Although it is also asked to look at pictures to find food, Lu Zhu is still a little worried. With its current physique, will it become someone else's prey?

It’s hard to say, it’s not certain who is hunting whom!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhu quickened his pace.
