End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen

Following the crowd forward step by step, we finally arrived at the entrance of the base.

About sixty or seventy meters away from the reception desk, Lu Zhu heard a voice shouting something in front. The group was divided into two teams, and some people withdrew from the team one after another.

It was not until he got closer that Lu Zhu realized that there was a burly man at the diversion ahead, shouting in a rough voice.

"Those with special abilities stand on the left, those who hand in supplies stand on the right, and those who provide labor go to the shed on the right to register."

Lu Zhu walked to the right without hesitation and went to the window to hand in supplies.

While waiting, she saw the situation of the psychics on the left. There were still quite a few people in the psychic team. Since the end of the world had just begun, their psychics were still in the stage of awakening.

Therefore, the abilities displayed are also uneven, some are strong and some are weak. Some are wind-related abilities, which can simply blow the wind.

Some of them have the power of thunder and lightning, and they accidentally burn their hair.

Some of them have ice-related powers, and with a snap of their fingers, snowflakes float in their hands, but before they can even marvel at them, they turn into water.

Some have earth-related abilities. When they slap the ground with their hands, a few small mounds of earth will immediately appear.

Some supernatural powers are very mysterious, and can make things float, but they are just some small things, like pens, cups, and so on.

Lu Zhu was staring at it in a daze, and was pushed by someone behind him, when he realized to move forward.

These people with special abilities are very weak now. When they enter the base, they should receive unified training so that they can be of great use in the future.

After a while, it was Lu Zhu's turn, and Lu Zhu obediently lined up in front of the reception window.

The three fans whirred, but they didn't bring much coolness. But it was better than nothing. Lu Zhu was surprised to see that there were computers available at the reception desk.

The reception window is not big. It was the security booth at the gate before the end of the world. There is a door on the left, a shed with three tables in a row, and an old-fashioned scale with a weight.

Many electronic products are no longer usable nowadays. When there were no electronic products, this old-fashioned scale was very useful.

"What's your name? Where are you from? Do you have any identification?" the receptionist at the window asked calmly.

"My name is Lu Zhu, Lu means mainland, Zhu means pearl. I'm from City A and I came here to study. This is my ID card."

The woman took it and said, "Lu Zhu, female, just turned 18!" The receptionist looked up at Lu Zhu, saw her thin figure, and sighed.

After registering on the computer, he handed his ID card to Lu Zhu.

"What kind of materials are they? Pour them out and check them, then weigh them." A woman's voice sounded faintly. It seemed to be a standard rhetoric formed from repetitive work every day. It sounded like artificial intelligence with no emotions.

Lu Zhu obediently poured out the contents of his bag, which was mixed with dirt and weeds, and the receptionist looked disgusted.

But after cleaning out the things inside, he changed his face again.

"That's right! Little girl, the things you picked up are exactly what we need right now." She smiled, adjusted the frequency of the walkie-talkie and spoke into the inside.

"Xiao Yi! This is the door. The copper you need is here. Come and get it!" The woman smiled.

"Sister Wen, how much copper is there? I'll be there right away." Xiao Yi on the intercom couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.

"About thirty kilograms, ok," the woman and Xiao Yi said for a while.

After weighing, "the copper wire is 35 catties, and the steel bar and iron block are 21.3 catties."

"This is a base points card. I exchanged the extra supplies for points. You can use the points to rent a house in the base or buy food."

"If you want to know it faster, you can find a guide. Two points can show you the way." The receptionist gave Lu Zhu some thoughtful advice before entering the base.

Lu Zhu thanked him and entered the gate of the base. Before entering, you need to swipe your points card, and after swiping, a small door will open.

Lu Zhu saw his basic information and points displayed on the access control system.

60 points, Lu Zhu felt it was too little! But he thought that he had picked it up anyway, so he didn't dwell on it.

Only after entering the base did I discover that this was a natural tiankeng cave. After entering the base, I would feel a slight cool breeze blowing out from the cave.

Lu Zhu finally understood the purpose of building the Fire Base here. It is a natural barrier that keeps people warm in winter and cool in summer.

The temperature outside is now 50 or 60 degrees, but here it is only over 30 degrees. The further you go inside, the cooler it will be.

When you enter the base, you will see a wide square, but it is now filled with many small tents, leaving only an aisle of about six meters.

The people living here should be refugees of the lowest class, who came in to exchange supplies, or who sneaked in by using their own labor.

Lu Zhu walked inside, looking around, trying to find a place to rent.

"Lu~Zhu~" an uncertain voice sounded behind her.

When Lu Zhu heard someone calling her, she turned around in confusion.

"It's you," the man took a few steps forward and stopped two steps in front of her.

"It's me, Qing Yunfei from the 16th floor." He took off the sunscreen mask on his head and revealed his face.

"It's you!" Lu Zhu recognized her. She was the coach of the 16th floor manager Qing Yunfei who was with Ren Jiaxue.

"Have you just arrived? We have been here for almost a month," Qing Yunfei spoke warmly to Lu Zhu.

Lu Zhu didn't say anything but just said: "Do you know where to rent a house? I want to rent a house."

"I know! I'll take you there! It's not far ahead." Qing Yunfei pointed behind Lu Zhu and led the way for her.

Lu Zhu followed him.

"Did you come in with supplies or are you a superpower?" Qing Yunfei asked as he walked.

"With supplies," Lu Zhu replied calmly. She did not have the tearful look of fellow villagers meeting each other. Her reaction was very indifferent.

"It's also good to use supplies. If you also have superpowers, you can live in the same area with us," Qing Yunfei said with a little regret.

Because he felt that Lu Zhu was an extraordinary girl, and it was a pity that she didn't have any special abilities.

When Lu Zhu heard what he said, he couldn't help but look up: "You? How many people with special abilities do you have?"

"I am a gold-type mutant. My other two brothers are strength-type and wind-type mutants, and Jiaxue is a water-type mutant." Qing Yunzhi said slowly, full of pride.

"Ren Jiaxue has also awakened her superpowers?" Lu Zhu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. Who said she couldn't awaken her superpowers?

"We are over there," Qing Yunfei pointed to a five-story building not far away, "We are in Area A. You can come over when you are free. We can get together. We all came from the same building. It's not easy in this end times. Only if we work together can we live a better life."

Qing Yunfei invited him warmly. Lu Zhu glanced in the direction of Area A and nodded lightly as a response.

After a few words, we arrived at the service hall. The three-story building was very spacious.

Qing Yunfei briefly introduced the situation in the service hall.

"On the left is for renting a room, and over there is for handing in supplies in exchange for points. There's a table on the wall that tells you how much you pay and how many points you get. Just follow the form."

Qing Yunfei pointed to the stairwell and said, "That leads to the second floor. Most of the daily necessities you want to buy are there. Although some have been soaked in water, they have all been checked and found to be undamaged. You can't go any higher. That's the restaurant on the upper floors."

After listening to it, Lu Zhu roughly understood the function of this place and decisively went to the rental office to rent a house.
