Rex the Tyrannosaur was obedient, but sometimes stubborn.
For instance, when Yu Qingxian told him not to follow her, he seemed hurt.
Yu Qingxian didn't get angry, but told him it was for his own good.
She felt that Xiao Ji could take good care of him.
"Can I stay here for a few days?" Yu Qingxian patted Rex's head and looked towards Xiao Ji.
Hearing this, Xiao Ji was naturally delighted.
"Of course, you can stay for a year or three years." Xiao Ji nodded repeatedly, very willing for Yu Qingxian to stay there.
Yu Qingxian didn't expect Xiao Ji to be so enthusiastic, but when she looked at her and smiled faintly, "Sorry for the trouble."
Xiao Ji looked at Yu Qingxian's smile and felt a strange sense of peace in her heart.
She was curious about how Yu Qingxian lived before.
Over the next few days, Xiao Ji took Rex out for walks.
Yu Qingxian sat by the window reading books.
Every time Rex came back, he would come to find her first, as if she would really run away.
Yu Qingxian would leave, but she didn't plan to disappear without a word.
Because she was a polite zombie.
Rex and Xiao Ji were getting along well now.
Xiao Ji handled Rex's three meals a day and daily outings.
And Rex seemed to realize why Yu Qingxian did this.
But how to put it, Rex was indeed an understanding puppy.
When Yu Qingxian said goodbye to it, it didn't rush out, but stood at the door with Xiao Ji to see her off.
Xiao Ji held a photo frame, which was Yu Qingxian's gift for Rex.
She seemed to think of something and immediately called out loudly: "Sister Yu, don't worry, I'll take good care of Rex, and I'll keep your photo safe too."
Xiao Ji was also saddened that she couldn't help Yu Qingxian.
But she knew that if she was sad, Sister Yu would be even more uneasy.
Pei Yu'an received another message from Yu Qingxian in June.
'I'm in E City, come find me with Gu Wanqing.'
When he showed this message to Gu Wanqing, she had just come out of the lab.
"What's this?" Gu Wanqing took off her mask and glanced at Pei Yu'an's phone.
She didn't know who had sent it.
But as she washed her hands, she seemed to think of something and looked up at Pei Yu'an.
For Pei Yu'an to show her this message meant the sender was someone she cared about.
Someone she cared about, the only one was that zombie who had been with Shi Xingyu and didn't eat humans.
"Found her?" Gu Wanqing's tone wasn't as excited as one might imagine.
But Pei Yu'an could see her slightly trembling hands and knew how excited she was at the moment.
An ordinary person would probably be so excited they'd almost faint.
But Gu Wanqing could still calmly ask and then handle what was at hand.
Pei Yu'an didn't answer, but Gu Wanqing knew the answer.
However, before leaving the base to pick up Yu Qingxian, Gu Wanqing went to see Shi Xingyu.
She only mentioned Yu Qingxian's name, and Shi Xingyu's reaction confirmed that Yu Qingxian was the one who taught him those things.
After Gu Wanqing left, Shi Xingtian walked over.
She injected a syringe of fluid into Shi Xingyu's arm and said, "You overreacted."
Shi Xingtian didn't expect to see her brother again.
And that her brother and the zombie woman who gave her the photo were acquainted.
This made Shi Xingtian not know how to thank Yu Qingxian.
But at least now she could help, and there was hope for the future.
Yu Qingxian sat on the rubble.
Less than two days after sending the message, Gu Wanqing's SUV appeared before her eyes.
The speed was fast, the car was dirty, and there was blood.
Clearly, Gu Wanqing had hit many zombies on the way.
Even though Yu Qingxian had prepared herself mentally for several days.
But when facing Gu Wanqing, she didn't know where to look.
Her hands were gesturing frantically.
Finally, she blurted out a few words: "Hello, please give me an autograph."
Gu Wanqing: ....
Wen Qingsheng in the passenger seat: .... What is this zombie saying?
Yu Qingxian only realized what she had said after saying it.
But since the words were out, it wouldn't be proper not to ask for an autograph.
She immediately took out her pen and paper from her backpack and handed them over.
Although Gu Wanqing didn't understand why Yu Qingxian wanted her autograph, she cooperated and took the notebook Yu Qingxian handed over and signed her name.
However, Gu Wanqing inadvertently glanced at the previous content, but even though she didn't understand it, she didn't say anything and handed the notebook and pen back with both hands.
"Will this do?" Gu Wanqing also softened her voice, afraid of suddenly startling the little zombie in front of her.
Yu Qingxian took the notebook Gu Wanqing handed back and looked at the three flamboyant characters, very satisfied.
This was the heroine's autograph!
As an author, getting the heroine's autograph made Yu Qingxian feel super awesome.
"It's good, thank you." Yu Qingxian thanked Gu Wanqing.
Gu Wanqing didn't look directly at Yu Qingxian, her gaze unfocused in her eyes.
It wouldn't put pressure on her.
And Yu Qingxian did not feel pressured by Gu Wanqing.
It reminded Yu Qingxian of Shi Xingtian.
That person didn't put pressure on her either.
It made Yu Qingxian feel that getting along with people wasn't actually that stressful.
Of course, Yu Qingxian didn't find it strange.
Because they accommodated her.
Yu Qingxian put the autograph in her backpack, then looked at Gu Wanqing: "Let's go."
Until Yu Qingxian got in the car, Wen Qingsheng kept staring at her.
Yu Qingxian pulled her hat down a little to block Wen Qingsheng's line of sight.
Actually, Wen Qingsheng really wasn't sure if there were really zombies that didn't eat people in this world.
But since Sister Qing said so, Wen Qingsheng would believe it for now.
Just thinking that this zombie had lain on the ground pretending to be dead and even made Sister Qing bury her in person.
When she looked closely now, she found that the cracks on her face had been stitched up and didn't look as frightening anymore.
The dress on her body had also been changed, clearly showing that she was living like a human.
Wen Qingsheng wanted to talk to Yu Qingxian, but he was stopped by a glance from Gu Wanqing.
He could only rub his nose and remain silent.
It was quiet in the car, and even though Gu Wanqing was driving quite fast, the car was very stable.
As they entered the capital again, Yu Qingxian's gaze turned towards the city.
She suddenly thought of Ah Ye.
She didn't know if that kid was still alive or not.
Gu Wanqing saw Yu Qingxian leaning against the car window glass looking outside from the rearview mirror, but she didn't say much.
Although she knew what Yu Qingxian was looking for.
That high-level zombie had indeed been attacking the base before, but then it changed its mind.
It was clearly due to Yu Qingxian's influence.
