End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

After a good night's rest, Lu Zhu prepared to set off for the base.

This time they were walking along the national highway, but with Xuan Guang's size and fur color, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile.

While it was still early, Lu Zhu rode on Xuan Guang's back. Instead of letting Xuan Guang run, he walked at a hurried pace on the mountain road.

When she was tired, she would rest on the spot. Lu Zhu did not stay away from the crowd, but now she was out of tune with the crowd and could only live her life in a place that was neither too close nor too far away.

The days passed slowly, and after about a week Lu Zhu arrived at a slightly larger town.

This place should not have been affected much by the floods, because she saw water stains on the walls of houses in many places, and they were only flooded to one layer. Even so, there were not many people here.

After some inquiries, Lu Zhu learned that most people died in the extreme cold. Some heard about the government-run rescue base and went there with their families.

Those who stayed were either abandoned or didn't want to leave.

Lu Zhu walked around here and found that many roofs had collapsed due to the snow, but most of the roofs here still retained the custom of covering with tiles, which was very ethnic.

But now most of the buildings are deserted, and after the water receded, the silt was left unattended and many weeds as tall as a person grew in growth.

Under the scorching sun, the grass leaves turned yellow and the scene was extremely desolate.

The houses in towns are not as tall as those in big cities, so when heavy snow comes, basically all the houses are buried under the snow.

This also indirectly illustrates the insignificance of human beings. A natural disaster can sometimes make a city or a country become a piece of history that is not worth mentioning in billions of years.

Few people survived the four-month freeze.

After looking around, Lu Zhu said nothing and left in silence.

Not long after she left, a group of people came in. This deserted little town.

"Boss, it's very empty here. There are not many people here... There are less than ten old, weak, sick and disabled people in total~" A short man raised his fingers and made the number nine.

"Look at the houses here. It must have been during the snowstorm. The situation here is more serious. The roofs of other places didn't collapse as much," said another person, looking around.

"Boss, there's someone over there who's dying." A team member ran over from behind.

The leading man frowned handsomely. Under his full beard, one could see his clear outline. He looked resolute and tough. He must have been a soldier in the past. He said in a deep voice, "Lead the way..."

Several people ran away quickly, leaving a trail of dust behind. Their movements were decisive and fast.

"Where's Mu Nanchen! If not come now, when?" The leader asked as soon as he arrived at the location mentioned by the team members.

"Boss, he fainted from the heat yesterday and is still resting in the tent!" said the short man.

"Here ~ bring him over ~ saving people is the most important thing." The leading man thought for a while and decided to save people first.

"Luo Chenyang, go and carry him over here~" the leading man gave the order.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Luo Chenyang took the order and disappeared in a flash. He was a person with speed ability.

In less than twenty minutes, they carried the half-dizzy Mu Nanchen back from the tent ten kilometers away.

"Boss, Mu Nanchen has brought it." Luo Chenyang carefully put down the confused Mu Nanchen.

He had heatstroke, and because he had no medicine, he was still a little dazed.

"Give him some water." The leading man couldn't bear to see him like this.

Luo Chenyang took a water bottle from his waist and brought it to Mu Nanchen's mouth, "Nanchen, drink some water~"

When Mu Nanchen heard the sound, he was very thirsty. Yesterday he had already developed symptoms of weakness in his limbs, dizziness, thirst, headache, inattention, blurred vision and tinnitus.

He knew he had heatstroke and the team had little water left. They had to find a water source. Everyone knew what it meant to be without water.

But he was still dazed, and his body's instinct had overwhelmed everything. He felt the kettle, picked up the kettle with his weak hands and started drinking.

Luo Chenyang originally wanted to save a bite, but seeing him like this, he didn't try to stop him. The others also fell into deafening silence.

Only after he finished drinking the water did Mu Nanchen regain some clarity of mind, staring blankly at the kettle in his hand.

Without waiting for him to react, the leading man helped him up and walked over to the patient.

"Show him~" the leading man said in a friendly tone.

Mu Nanchen nodded and placed his fingers on the patient's wrist. After a while, he changed to his other hand to take the patient's pulse.

"It's an old man's disease. He's very weak due to malnutrition and also has heatstroke." Mu Nanchen withdrew his hand and briefly described the patient's condition.

"What should we do then?" asked the short man.

"Give him food, water, and medicine." Mu Nanchen restrained his expression and stated a fact.

Looking up at him, "Xu Qizhou, we can't help him"

Everyone was silent.

Mu Nanchen stood up slowly, still a little dizzy, but stood up anyway.

"Let's see if there are any other supplies! We have to get back to the base alive~" Mu Nanchen said in a flat tone what they had to do now.

And what is Lu Zhu doing here?

She found a wood processing plant on the edge of town. Although some of the light wood had been carried away by the flood, some of the denser wood was still left.

Lu Zhu was just worried about not having enough wood to build a house, but now he has some! It's like someone sends you a pillow just when you're sleepy!

Since there was no one here anyway, she took out a piece of paper and a pen. She then looked up a wilderness survival video she had seen before to see how other people built houses.

Based on the actual situation and thinking about what kind of house I wanted, I made a simple design of the house structure.

Lu Zhu wanted a movable house that was similar to the house in her space.

The foundation can only be built on wood, not buried in the ground. So Lu Zhu found logs of suitable lengths and arranged them in rows. She planned to use pure logs as the foundation.

Building a house on the basis of logs, Lu Zhu found it easy to get the wood because of his supernatural powers.

This time, Lu Zhu wanted to build a bigger house. The previous house was fine for her alone, but now Xuan Guang was in it and couldn't even stretch his legs on the carpet.

First, cut grooves on four logs, piece them together to form a rectangle and fix them. Here, Lu Zhu drilled a few holes and nailed large nails to fix them. These nails were bought at the building materials market.

Then cut grooves on both sides of the logs to be used as the foundation and fix them to the rectangular logs, also using large nails to secure them.

Lu Zhu cut grooves at both ends of the logs and added them layer by layer, so that the wall was thick, strong and heat-insulating. This way of building a house is much faster than erecting pillars.

Soon the general outline of the house took shape. Because the weather was unpredictable in this apocalyptic world, Lu Zhu made the house very sturdy. It was also designed with one room and one living room, but the space of this house would be slightly larger than the previous one.

Because Xuanguang grew too fast, like a steamed bun made of leavened dough.

For the roof, she used ready-made wooden strips from the lumber mill to lay a layer of wood and fixed it in place. She also cut grooves in the logs to make a tripod with a mortise and tenon structure and placed it on the left and right sides of the house.

This made it easier for her to lay the roof. Lu Zhu looked at the space above and felt it was quite large, so she opened a hole in the original house so that if she had anything that she used frequently but was inconvenient to take out, she could put it here.

Some people asked Lu Zhu how she did it. It was because since her rebirth, she had been studying how to survive in the apocalypse whenever she had free time and had been constantly learning survival skills. In addition, she had no shortage of tools, so of course she was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!
