Chapter 1 1 Rebirth
Three checkpoints that looked like the toll stations on the expressway before the apocalypse were domineeringly displayed on the road ahead for the convoy, and there was a long queue in front of each checkpoint.
Looking around, you can see the majestic gate and the tall and thick city walls. In front of the city wall is an artificially dug moat, and in front of the moat there are many large traps set up by humans.
It has been a year since the end of the world began. Rong Xianxian has gone through many hardships to get here. She looked at her young son in her arms, then turned around to look at her daughter on her back. After wandering with her child for such a long time, her daughter's originally beautiful and round face has now become thin and dull.
She encountered various dangers along the way, and although she managed to escape danger time and time again, she still felt exhausted.
The safety zone in Chongshui Town seems to be in good order and conditions, so the security should be relatively good. We can rest here for a few more days before moving on to the next safety zone.
According to the information received, two more safety zones are the country's largest safety zone where the capital was located before the end of the world. It is the only safety zone with a population of tens of millions. According to the safety zone management measures implemented after the end of the world, only a city with a population of five million can be named a city.
After several discussions, the Beijing Safety Zone was named Jincheng.
The power system before the end of the world was basically preserved there, and order was restored in the fastest time. That is why so many people were retained during the initial turmoil and survived the most difficult time at the beginning of the end of the world.
Also coming from the capital's safe zone, various mercenary teams escorted a large number of civilians to the nearest safe zone.
Rong Xianxian mixed in with these teams and moved all the way to Jincheng.
Perhaps it was because she was homesick, Rong Xianxian became more and more anxious, as if something was about to happen.
Although the queue for resettlement of survivors was long, fortunately the efficiency was good. While Rong Xianxian was daydreaming, it was her turn.
She had stayed in many safe zones, big and small, chaotic and orderly, and was very familiar with the process of filling in information. However, there were some differences here. There was a line in the information of Chongshui Town that needed to be filled in, including whether there were spirit beasts, whether there were any martial arts, the level of the martial arts, personal training status, etc.
She touched the thin piece of paper in her sleeve. This thing she got accidentally was her trump card to save her life. Without thinking too much, she lightly picked up the pen and wrote "no" behind the columns of "whether there is any skill" and "whether there is any spirit beast".
Being short of money, she could only come to the tent area provided free of charge in the safe zone.
A vast open space is densely populated with many low tents. It is dirty, crowded, and filled with numb and dull eyes.
Looking at the neatly arranged red brick and tile houses and bluestone buildings in the distance, Rong Xianxian was lost in thought for a moment.
Should I hand over my skills in exchange for a safe place to live in the safe zone?
"Mom," a childish voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and looked at the two young children. "No," she secretly rejected the idea. Along the way, she knew very well how rare and important the skills were. At present, she and her children were weak and could be bullied, so she was afraid that they could not get equivalent rewards.
If we can hold on for another month at most, we will reach Jincheng, and then it may be of greater use.
Although the tent area was dirty and simple, there were still some people in black uniforms patrolling back and forth to maintain order, setting up the simple tents they had received on the open ground. The small space could accommodate the three of them, mother and two of her children.
Rong Xianxian opened her backpack and took out the red fruits she had collected along the way, as well as a few eggs laid by some unknown animal.
The mother and her two children had dinner with this limited food.
Rong Xianxian told her daughter to keep an eye on her brother. She wanted to take advantage of this limited time to practice for a while. Although it seemed safe here, she still didn't dare to let her guard down. After all, she had encountered too many dangers. There were dangerous animals in the wild and dangerous fellow humans in the safe zone.
The simple tent cannot block the prying eyes, and I am destined to remain unable to sleep tonight.
Although she had been able to draw spiritual energy into her body half a year ago, the spiritual energy in her body had grown very slowly over the past six months. She only felt her five senses became sharper, her limbs more agile and flexible, and her strength increased.
The exhausting and busy life every day left her with no time to practice, and she could hardly get enough food and clothing in those days when she had to sleep in the open air.
Thinking of this, Rong Xianxian once again doubted her original decision. If she had not believed too much that Ning Qingyun would come to save them, or if she had not been so cowardly and only knew how to wait passively, would her life be different now?
"Miss, the person who went to inquire about the news has returned." In a gorgeous room, a capable short-haired woman reported to a tall woman wearing an exquisite cheongsam.
A woman with black hair was sitting at the black and white marble bar by the window, playing with a glass of red wine, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her lips were bright red.
He turned his head slightly when he heard what the person said.
"Oh, where are they?" she asked casually.
"They are now in the safe zone of Chongshui Town."
"Where's the Qinglong team?"
"The Qinglong team will arrive at Chongshui Town soon, but Yebai has been exposed and is under control. Fortunately, you asked Yebai to find Ning Qingning at that time. He should not be able to find us here. When the Qinglong team comes back and hands Ning Qingning over, I wonder how President Ning will react." The short-haired woman had a gloating expression on her face.
"Have you preserved the evidence?"
"It's in Yebai's hands. Ning Qingning can't deny it."
"That's good. How is that woman doing now?"
"That woman is quite capable and very careful. Our people tried to take action against her several times but she managed to dodge them. She was able to escape safely into the official convoy. After all, it was an official team and it was difficult to take action against her. However, there were quite a few of our people in Chongshui Town. This time, she was like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth."
"Is there anyone from the Ning family around her?"
"There was one that died before, and now there is none."
"I have to succeed this time. Well, to avoid any more trouble, I will go there myself."
"Miss, I think this is inappropriate. You are of noble status and should not take risks. Although we are quite powerful now, the situation in the wild is dangerous and difficult to estimate. Please think twice." The short-haired woman disagreed.
"Why are you thinking twice? I'm mainly going to Tan City to pick up a batch of supplies, which can only be obtained by me going there in person. I passed by there and satisfied my curiosity to see what's so special about that woman." The woman called the eldest lady smiled playfully.
Rong Xianxian woke up in a fire. She silently looked at the sky outside. It was just getting dark and it seemed that they had nothing to fear.
There was a man and a woman in front of him. The man was Yunshan, the assistant who used to be with Ning Qingyun every day, and the woman looked a little familiar.
Yunshan had a blank expression on his face. Although he was looking at Rong Xianxian, he said to the woman next to him, "Ms. Gong, why do we have to wait for her to wake up? The boss said to let them go quietly."
"After all, she is Qingyun's husband and wife. Even if she becomes a ghost, she should be an enlightened ghost." The woman smiled slightly.
Yunshan looked at Rong Xianxian silently, "Madam, the portrait that the boss locked in the office is Miss Gong. You should have seen her before. They were childhood sweethearts. Because Miss Gong went abroad, there was a misunderstanding between them. The boss was heartbroken, so he married you to avoid his family's arrangement. Now the Gong and Ning families want to form an alliance, and you are standing in the way."
Yunshan looked at the burning walls on all four sides and the two children who were gradually falling into a coma. He took out a bottle of spray and said, "This will allow you to die without pain."
Rong Xianxian, whose whole body was sprayed with spray, immediately felt heavy eyelids and drowsy. She was filled with hatred and struggled to crawl towards the two children.
The last conversation I heard was, "You were so kind to give them anesthetics. Their mouths were blocked anyway and they couldn't scream. Why bother?"
"This is safer. After all, we can't wait here forever. She escaped every accident we sent people to cause before. This may be the last chance."
It seemed as if she had slept for a century. Rong Xianxian opened her eyes hard and stared at the ceiling blankly. Although it was pitch black around her, she could still see the outline of the crystal chandelier. Suddenly she jumped up and looked at the small bed on the left side of the big bed. Her son was sleeping soundly, and her daughter was also sleeping in the crib on the right side of the big bed. Could it be that she had a dream before?
"Bang", there was a sudden loud noise. Rong Xianxian hurried to the window and opened the curtains, only to see the sky full of stars, as if a meteor fell to the earth, magnificent and spectacular.
On the night of falling stars, the spiritual energy revived. This was the beginning of the change in the world. She returned to the beginning of the end of the world.
