However, later on, Gu Wanqing would occasionally bring Yu Qingxian to see the experimental fields and the underground farm at the Base.
Although it was underground, Yu Qingxian didn't feel it at all.
The overhead lighting was simulated sunlight, and it would even simulate the 24-hour changes in light, as well as temperature and humidity, which were all controlled.
Yu Qingxian was like a country bumpkin, staring wide-eyed, only able to silently marvel at her shock.
In the third year of the apocalypse, she saw the underground world created by humans.
But human technology had advanced too quickly.
Until Yu Qingxian saw a familiar person in the underground farm.
Wei Qiang was holding an electronic light screen, adjusting the data.
She seemed to be processing a new area.
Yu Qingxian never would have thought that Wei Qiang would be in this place.
When Wei Qiang saw Yu Qingxian, she was not surprised.
She just glanced at Gu Wanqing: "Why did you bring her here?"
After saying that, Wei Qiang looked at Yu Qingxian.
At this time, Wei Qiang looked much more mature than before, and her long hair had been cut short.
She looked much more neat and tidy.
It's just that Yu Qingxian didn't know why Wei Qiang was so insistent with her.
She even suspected that she might have owed Wei Qiang money at some point.
Afterwards, Wei Qiang explained why she appeared in this place.
Previously, they had encountered a Zombie King.
Although she killed it, Qin An was paralyzed while saving her.
Even though Qin An said it had nothing to do with her,
Wei Qiang knew that at the time, she had the ability to keep both herself and Qin An from getting hurt.
But because she didn't want to expose her System, she had been trying to play dumb.
But obviously, reality had given her a hard slap in the face.
If she didn't care about others and didn't have to hide herself, then Qin An wouldn't have been unable to walk for the rest of his life.
It was at this time that Gu Wanqing found her.
And brought her to the Base.
Wei Qiang also felt that she no longer had any reason to keep hiding.
If she revealed her abilities, then many people could avoid ending up like Qin An.
So that's why she used the abilities of her System to create this underground farm.
She had always been worried that someone would covet her System, but Gu Wanqing promised her that no one would dare lay a hand on her.
For the past six months, Gu Wanqing had been keeping this promise very well.
And she had also been trying to find a way to treat Qin An.
It was just a few days ago, when she and Gu Wanqing were eating together, that she learned about Yu Qingxian's situation from Gu Wanqing's mouth.
Of course, at first she didn't know who Yu Qingxian was, until later when Gu Wanqing said she was that non-cannibalistic zombie who was traveling everywhere, that she realized.
However, Wei Qiang didn't rush to see Yu Qingxian.
Previously, Yu Qingxian had let that advanced zombie pass on a message to her, telling her not to follow her anymore.
And now, Yu Qingxian's energy levels had dropped even further.
It was unknown what the reason was.
Other zombies would only grow stronger, but Yu Qingxian was getting weaker and weaker.
Although Wei Qiang was somewhat concerned, she didn't say much else.
She only introduced Yu Qingxian to the plan she currently had in hand.
The surface was easily infected by the virus, while the underground environment was better.
At least it wouldn't suddenly drop or rise in temperature.
Yu Qingxian had been staying indoors for the past six months and hadn't gone out.
So she didn't know about temperatures and such, but she had seen snow.
As for high temperatures, it wasn't easy to experience.
Obviously, the temperature in the rooms of this experimental building was very well controlled.
It seemed that the weather outside was still quite extreme.
Yu Qingxian followed Gu Wanqing around for a tour and then went back.
Days passed like this, one by one.
Yu Qingxian's time on the operating table was getting longer, but the frequency was also decreasing.
She didn't feel uncomfortable; she just had a weakening perception of time.
When she came to her senses, ten years had already passed.
For those ten years, she had been staying at this Base, and the people at the Base had already moved away.
Those left behind were all officials.
Shi Xingyu had left three years ago.
He had an official tracking device and monitor on his body, so the officials had been keeping track of Shi Xingyu's plans all along.
More importantly, his body had been completely modified.
He could digest some cooked food now, and his desire for living things had decreased quite a bit.
But he still tended to favor fresh meat and blood.
His severed right hand had been replaced with a mechanical hand with the help of Gu Wanqing and the Base's researchers.
The strength was set according to his body's strength.
Yu Qingxian had even gone to watch Shi Xingyu's rehabilitation activities.
One punch smashed an armored vehicle, making Yu Qingxian's hair stand on end.
And the officials let Shi Xingyu out not just to wander around.
It was to have him beat up all the advanced zombies first, and then relocate all the zombies to one place.
This would make it easier to manage them all together.
The officials wanted to create a world where humans and zombies could coexist.
Of course, it was unrealistic to try to kill all the zombies.
The manpower alone would be completely inadequate.
And over the years, although several world summits had been held to overcome difficulties together,
every time there were countries that betrayed the alliance.
This led to the fact that over the past ten years, no consensus had been reached on the unified goal.
However, some smaller countries around their country had relied on their country.
The official personnel led by Gu Wanqing had truly put in a great effort in this.
And now, a vaccine against the zombie virus had been developed.
Of course, the emergence of the vaccine also suppressed the appearance of superhumans.
In the past, ordinary humans who were injured by zombies still had a certain chance of becoming superhumans.
It's just that most humans who were injured turned into zombies instead.
So it didn't really matter if they didn't become superhumans.
The apocalypse had passed for ten years, and in fact, many survivors from the bases had already returned to normal life.
And in those ten years, technology had taken a huge leap forward.
For example, the airborne electromagnetic railways designed today could travel rapidly in the air, free from the ground.
The rails connected fifteen bases, with very fast speeds.
The fastest was two hours, and the longest was only seven hours.
In any case, technological development was now very rapid.
Although they had wronged other countries to some extent, over those ten years they had indeed built protective walls along the borders.
Of course, it was to block zombies.
It was simply that those other countries were not cooperating, leading to zombies constantly surging into their country.
Of course, whether the zombies were acting unconsciously or intentionally, no one knew.
Nowadays, the residents at the base have returned to normal life, but restoring consciousness to the zombies is naturally a very difficult task.
However, over the past ten years, the authorities have not given up on this idea.
Because they have succeeded before.
Because there were once zombies who retained human consciousness.
That's why the authorities have never given up on this possibility.
But Yu Qingxian thought she would only stay at this base for a few months.
Little did she expect that ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During those ten years, Xiao Ji once came to visit her with the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex had become a mutant dog, a dog's lifespan has its limit.
The veterinarian had examined it and estimated that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was already seven or eight years old when it encountered Yu Qingxian.
Having lived another ten years now, it is considered an old dog.
Of course, in the words of the veterinarian, the Tyrannosaurus Rex could live up to about thirty years.
Moreover, the relationship between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Xiao Ji had become very good.
After a few years, Xiao Ji had also grown into a young lady.
Of course, after finding out from Xiao Ji's mouth that Yu Qingxian was a zombie turned human, Gu Wanqing insisted on keeping Xiao Ji at the base.
As a result, Xiao Ji ran away in the middle of the night, and Gu Wanqing went after her.
It has been half a year since they returned.
Yu Qingxian is now free and unencumbered.
No one comes to bother her anymore.
So she changed into a new set of clothes, packed a backpack, asked a staff member for a camera and a phone, and quietly left the base.
When Gu Wanqing returns, she will only find a note in Yu Qingxian's former residence.
'I'm going to see the flowers of spring. I don't want to die for now, but don't look for me.'
The words on the note are crooked, but it's clear what she's trying to say.
See the flowers of spring?
Gu Wanqing walks over to the window and looks outside.
Ah, it's spring again.
