Walking Alone in the End of the World: The Queen Has Been Grown Up

"I'm sorry, Rin accidentally hurt you, I apologize on his behalf."

Zhu Qiang bowed slightly with a decent smile and looked at Xi Qiu's hand covering her arm with a worried expression.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Xi Qiu couldn't take offense for a moment, and his face looked a little better.

Chu Yu squinted at Zhu Qiang, who was walking towards her. She still had the same round face with a gentle smile. The difference from before was that her skin had become much more delicate, visible to the naked eye. Although the style of her clothes was very... It's simple, and anyone who cares can tell at a glance that she is living a very nourishing life.

"Well, we have simple tools for treating wounds in the RV. Why don't I take you to the RV to treat it? After all, the location of this wound is a bit..." Zhu Qiang said while observing the expressions of Xi Qiu and Chu Yu.

Xi Qiu looked embarrassed at this invitation. It was neither a refusal nor a refusal. She had used up the bandages in the car just now, and the clear pain that kept coming from her shoulders reminded her that if she didn't want to bleed to death, she had to Go to the RV.

"And this...?"

Although Xi Qiu felt some inexplicable fear of Chu Yu, she also felt an inexplicable sense of security. She looked at Chu Yu and spoke to her.

"Together?"

What tricks is this woman up to?
She speculated on Zhu Qiang's intentions in her heart, and looked at Zhu Qiang with short eyes. Zhu Qiang showed no timidity in the face of her gaze, but still smiled.

"...No, I don't like crowded places."

Chu Yu said lightly, turning a blind eye to her invitation, and walked towards the shortest residential building.

Hearing Chu Yu's answer, Xi Qiu felt inevitably disappointed.

At the moment when both of them turned around without seeing it, Zhu Qiang supported Xi Qiu. A trace of ridicule and disdain flashed across her beautiful and delicate eyes. The arrogance at the corner of her mouth flashed away, and then turned back to a kind and considerate one. It's like it never existed.

She thought he was such a powerful person, but he was just an ignorant fool like most other people.

……

She looked at the small two-story duplex residential building closest to the motorcade. Chu Yu stepped over the piles of corpses in the stairwell that had become festering and extremely smelly, and found a relatively clean room.

Except for the bloodstains left by dragging all over the floor, the room is still clean. You can vaguely see the tidiness before the end of the world. It can be seen that the owner of the room takes good care of this place. The windowsill is full of green plants. Unfortunately, it is basically because of It has withered after being left unattended for days.

The bay window was covered with a thick velvet blanket, and there were many colorful dolls next to it, making it more like a children's room.

Zhu Qiang bandaged Xi Qiu thoughtfully and spoke softly.

"Huh? Your foot is injured too?"

As if unintentionally, he glanced at Xi Qiu's ankle, which was wrapped in a rough bandage. He leaned down to re-bandage her ankle. Xi Qiu politely pulled his calf back slightly and thanked Zhu Qiang.

There was some resistance to Zhu Qiang's inexplicable overtures.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiang did not persist and retracted her hand in embarrassment.

"Thank you, but I have a small problem with my ankle. I've already bandaged my ankle, and it's probably not time to change the dressing yet."

I declined it.

Xi Qiu, who has been crawling around among human sperm since he was a child, naturally understands that there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no sudden kindness.

Xi Qiu followed her over to bandage it just out of politeness. Since the other party had given him permission to step down, she didn't want to cause too much trouble.

"It's okay. I don't know what to call you yet! My name is Zhu Qiang, Zhu of wishes, Qiang of Qiangwei."

Zhu Qiang's words interrupted Xi Qiu's intention to leave as an excuse. She winked playfully and held Xi Qiu's arm with intimacy, not like a stranger she had met for the first time but like a friend who had known each other for many years.

"Just call me Xi Qiu."

Xi Qiu took out his arm without leaving any trace, and his tone was a little colder than before.Zhu Qiang was not frustrated by her indifference, but instead smiled even happier.

"Xi, that's such a rare surname. Isn't the famous Xi family in Y city related to sister Xi Qiu?"

The temperature inside the RV was very comfortable. Song Lin was sitting in the driver's seat of the RV with her eyes closed and her slender white fingers rubbing unconsciously on the steering wheel.

The boy next to him was leaning on the passenger seat with his legs crossed, his face pressed against the window and looking at the scenery outside the window. He had a lollipop in his mouth and said something vaguely.

"There are actually quite a few people with the surname Xi. Maybe you haven't seen them. I have nothing to do with that surname Xi."

Xi Qiu was shocked, but it didn't show on his face, he just smiled generously.

"Oh, that's it. Let me just say, it's getting dark now, why don't you sister Xi Qiu live in the car with us?" Zhu Qiang felt relieved and said with a sweet smile.

"Just want to stay and have a meal together? We haven't eaten yet."

Xi Qiu looked towards the place where she indicated, and saw that almost all the people who were at war with each other outside had now entered the car, and the outside was already as dark as a pool of death, with only the howling wind beating against the car windows. Voice.

But her stomach was also hungry, growling unsatisfactorily, and Xi Qiu's beautiful face turned slightly red.

She had been hungry for almost two days in order to escape from that gang of thugs, during which she only ate one or two biscuits. Even a steel man couldn't bear such hunger.

Sooner or later, she, Xi Qiu, would have to go back and settle the accounts with those old guys, and her good captain must have received orders from someone above before he dared to do this.

"Sister Qiang, the RV is originally..."

The young man was unhappy when he heard this, and pursed his lips in depression.Zhu Qiang turned her head and glared at the young man, and he stopped talking.

"Hey, okay... okay..." Although the boy didn't say anything anymore, he was still a little unconvinced. He poked Song Lin, who was sleeping, with his elbow, trying to get him to say something.

"Brother Song, please tell me."

"...Just follow Zhu Qiang's arrangements."

Although Song Rin could not deny Zhu Qiang's arrangement, he was too lazy to say anything. He raised his eyelids slightly to show that he knew.

The young man was left clenching his teeth, worrying about how to allocate the bed tonight.

"...Isn't this not good?"

Xi Qiu was a little embarrassed, her eyes wandering around the RV and the room where Chu Yu was. Zhu Qiang directly pulled her and said with a smile.

"That friend of yours won't mind, you are a sick person now."

Chu Yu didn't make any statements along the way, making Xi Qiu unsure whether Chu Yu would help her, so she still hesitated.

To her, Chu Yu was just a person who had saved her. Her indifference made Xi Qiu a little undecided.

After much hesitation, Xi Qiu decided to temporarily stay in the RV for one night.

Everyone huddled in the car to keep warm.

Now that there is no electricity, life seems to have returned to its original state.But now no one dares to light a fire. Any change in light or temperature will attract zombies.

So everyone in the car was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, both men and women, crowded together to better preserve the temperature.

Of course there is an exception——

Li Mingyu drove the two young men to the back of a slipper truck, while he took a sleeping bag and occupied the seat in the back of the car. Seeing that the flames in his hands were unusually active, he put the flames back.

He didn't look very handsome. After the shadow cast by the car window, half of his face was covered by the shadow, making him even more gloomy.

The faces of the two people who were driven out were ashen. Who didn't know that the back of this kind of slipper car had an open top, and they would freeze after sleeping all night, and they were afraid that zombies wouldn't be able to chew through it even if they wanted to.But because I couldn't beat him, I could only hold back my anger and go to the back holding the thin bedding I was assigned.

Li Mingyu weighed the flames in his palm with satisfaction.

Just a few days ago, he was a male college student with nothing to offer, his grades were ridiculously poor, and he was repeated several times in a row. He became a notorious "famous figure" in the school, and everyone saw him differently. They say they respect him, but everyone treats him as a transparent person. He is a senior after all!
He had long been tired of the previous world, and the outbreak of the apocalypse completely changed his life, turning him into a superpower.

Such a huge gap nourished the growing dark side in Li Mingyu's heart, and was also the reason why he became so irritable and conceited.

"Go, go, go! Get behind me and go to sleep!"

Chu Yu specially chose a relatively high place. The view here is very good, and she can clearly see the movements of the convoy below. In addition, she has the blessing of excellent eyesight.

It was almost completely dark, and it was the time when zombies were active again.

During the day, you could vaguely see a few people wandering the streets searching for supplies, but now there is no one left.

Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, other people have probably figured out the timing of the zombies' movements these days. People always have preconceptions.

Going out during the day to collect supplies is only useful in the beginning. Later, as the temperature drops significantly, the arrival of the first snow marks the first and second stages of the apocalypse - the first wave of zombies after the snow. Due to evolution, zombies that survive in extremely cold conditions are often several times more terrifying than ordinary zombies.

This kind of zombie is called a walking zombie. It is a pure first-level zombie, also known as T1. It is also the most common type of zombie. They correspond to the strength range of a first-level superpower.

In previous lives, even the most common walking zombies should not be underestimated. As long as the base was large enough, they could even flatten a small base by stepping on the bones of their companions.

At the same time, their bodies have also been greatly strengthened, which is specifically reflected in their immunity to some supernatural attacks from those with powers below level one, and they are no longer afraid of the sun and can walk in the sun without any obstacles.

Chu Yu raised his eyes to look at the dark sky. The moon had almost disappeared, and the remaining warmth and life of the earth seemed to be slowly being sucked away.

The sudden drop in temperature in the past few days is enough to freeze a lot of poor people to death, but instead of watching themselves being cannibalized by zombies, this way of death is not bad.

A hexagonal snowflake fell on Chu Yu's palm and turned into small puddles of water due to the heat in her palm. She clenched her fists tightly, and the leather gloves kept making creaking sounds due to the force of the violent squeezing.

And a few snowflakes fell lightly from the sky, falling on the roof of the car and the crown of the tree.

The first snow period... is coming soon.

The people in the convoy below were sleeping soundly. Xi Qiu twitched his wrists in his sleep and clutched the clothes on his body because of the cold.

Chu Yu had no intention of falling asleep like them. I'm afraid it would be another sleepless night for her... But at this time, an uninvited guest suddenly came.

...Song Lin.

With a push of his arms, the man climbed over the courtyard of the two-story building. He was wearing clean casual clothes, and there was not a trace of dust on him.

His tall and superior figure was half a head taller than hers. Chu Yu originally thought that he was as white as a vampire, but now his skin was like an incandescent light bulb glowing in the dark, making it difficult not to notice.

"...Watching the night?"

Chu Yu was at a loss for words for the first time.

This brother didn't come up just to take a look at the night view.

"...Well, enjoy the night."
