Queen's Place: I Pick Up Men in The Apocalypse

“Ahhhh, not my legs…not my sexy legs, you f*ucking zombies.”

A loud scream tore through the room, the girl on the bed was kicking and rolling like she was fighting someone. Suddenly she rolled of the bed and hit the ground hard.

“Ouch!” She said as her eyes snapped open, rubbing her sore hips, she glanced around to see herself in an unfamiliar environment or rather her room.

“What am I doing here?...No, what's going on?.”

This was her room before the apocalypse!

She remembered that she had been locked in with a hoard of zombies by some men she had saved.

Hmph. Those men only had good-looking faces and rotten hearts. She had saved the three of them because they were handsome, even shared her limited resources. But when zombies surrounded them, they locked her inside and ran.

“Sure enough one shouldn't judge people by their looks.” She felt her whole body and didn't see any signs of injury.

“Am I dreaming in my last moments?” She murmured “Or did I go back in time like in those novels?” She suddenly sprang to her feet to look for her phone, the date was seven days before the apocalypse!

Although during the apocalypse one couldn't tell the exact date, but she had already spent about two years in the apocalypse.

Lila Benedict looked around the room, arms folded against her chest “I have to start planning” she said.

But where do I start from? She quickly grabbed a jotter to write the list of things she had to buy, after writing a long list and seeing the exorbitant price, she exclaimed.

“I've never felt this good being an orphan before.” Imagine she had a family member, wouldn't she have to buy more resources?

Her eyes suddenly widened as if she was enlightened, she quickly wrote “No more handsome men” on the topmost part of the list, she scratched it and wrote “NO ONE.”

In the apocalypse world, it was chaotic everywhere, people weren't kind to each other and no one will save anyone without getting something in return.

When she didn't have anything to eat, no one gave her anything, but she decided to save handsome men and look where she ended.

She looked at the list in satisfaction and thought about where to store these things, in a few days the meat and vegetables will go bad, but she didn't want to remove them from the list.

It's been so long since she had a decent meal so she's definitely going to buy some meat.

“It'll be nice if I had a space system like those female leads in novels.” She sighed. Thinking of abilities, she balled her hands into fists and threw a punch at the wall. “Ahhh,” she screamed.

Her super strength was gone, she should have chosen a softer thing to try it on. She gently blew on her fingers when a thought suddenly occured to her. What if the apocalypse didn't come?

Still she couldn't risk it, she pulled on her jacket and decided to go to a restaurant to eat first, after eating a nice meal, she'll go and shop for some things.

She thought about where to put those things, this her crappy rooftop house isn't safe at all.

She even has to move out before the apocalypse, because once it comes, there'll be a lot of zombies on all floors and she'll have to fight them all the way down and she wasn't confident that  she'll get away unscathed.

She'll deal with this problem after having a meal. As she walked out of the building, her lips curled up in a smile.

When last had she seen such a nice weather, the weather was always gloomy during the apocalypse.

She inhaled deeply, as the scent of fresh bread wafted to her nose. “Oh my, why does it smell so nice?”

Lila didn't even notice that people were staring at her strangely, after all she stood at the middle of the street and was whispering and smiling at herself.

She only came to her senses when an old woman passed by her and said “You're still young you should take care of yourself and not go crazy even if life is hard.”

That was when she saw other people also looking at her she heard whispers like. “What a pity, such a pretty girl.”

She didn't bother to deny it, since the beginning of time crazy people never admitted that they were crazy, the more she denied it the more they'll believe that she really is.

Lila ambled down the street and came across a medium sized restaurant. Settling down on a chair near the window, she picked up the menu and started ordering.

She glanced at the waiter and pointed at a page “I want all the dishes on this page.” As for the others as long as she had the ingredients she can cook them in the coming days.

The waiter stood still, mouth wide “Every dish?.” It's not that he doesn't want to take her order, it's just…can she finish it?

He had seen her when she walked in, she had a pretty face and she's quite thin, with long legs. This kind of people only ate salad, right?

Lila watched as the waiter kept furrowing his brow, she didn't have time for this. “Get it.” She spat.

The waiter shuddered, why does she speak so powerfully.

Minutes later, Lila looked at the dishes spread across the table and her face lit up in excitement. “I'm finally going to taste this delicacies.”

She picked a piece of meat and savoured the taste on her tongue before chewing slowly, later on she didn't even bother about her image and devoured everything on the table.

The waiter kept casting side glances at her. When he saw empty plates on the table, his eyes widened. Where did all the food go?.

No one can blame him though, afterall who would believe that it all went into Lila’s stomach, she didn't even leave the fish bones behind.

The apocalypse has taught her never to waste food, there were times when she even ate tree barks, so how could she have leftovers? Even if she did she'd definitely take it with her when leaving!

The problem Lila had now was that she couldn't move at all. She had to sit there like a dead person for about an hour before she got to her feet and walked out.

She collapsed on her bed immediately she got into the room. When she woke up it was already getting dark outside.

“How could I have slept off like that? There are still many things to buy, after today I'll only have six days left before the apocalypse.”

She sprung to her feet, and only then did she notice the pain in her stomach. “I must have over eaten.” She said, but the pain suddenly intensified.
