The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure

Chapter 30

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shi Xingyu caught up.

"This place is an important intersection, so the authorities will naturally send strong people to guard it. There may be espers," Yu Qingxian explained casually.

If it was a few days later, she wouldn't be able to get off the bridge.

She'd have to live on the bridge for a lifetime.

Of course, that was impossible.

It was estimated that such a place would be cleared out in a few years.

This big bridge was quite important.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have troops stationed here so soon after the apocalypse started.

But after this incident, they should expand the size of the troops.

They may even take back control of the entire H City.

After all, H City used to be a very important city.

Yu Qingxian dragged her suitcase through the sentry post, then suddenly looked back at the Cross-Sea Bridge.

"I hope I have another chance to come back. If I can come back, I must take a look at the clean and beautiful Cross-Sea Bridge." Yu Qingxian suddenly spoke, although it seemed like she was speaking to Shi Xingyu behind her.

But Shi Xingyu knew that Yu Qingxian wasn't talking to him.

She was talking to humans.

As a zombie, she actually trusted humans so much, and even thought humans could defeat zombies.

Hey Miss Zombie, aren't you on the wrong side?

But if Yu Qingxian didn't think this way, Shi Xingyu would find it strange.

But all in all, this zombie Yu Qingxian was very strange.

Yu Qingxian looked at the rising sun, she didn't feel weakened by the sunlight.

So she didn't need to open her umbrella.

They walked east from here, along the Seaside Avenue.

As they got closer to the sea, they could see some aquatic zombies crawling ashore.

They all looked weird and bizarre.

Of course, not only zombies lived in the water, but also some mutated marine life.

These creatures would even eat zombies, truly indiscriminate eaters.

But then again, many fish and marine life originally fed on carrion.

Maybe zombies suited the taste buds of these fish and marine life even more.

"I'm very good at cooking, do you want to try some?" Yu Qingxian suddenly said out of the blue, making Shi Xingyu look at her.

"No need." Shi Xingyu refused.

Zombies only ate live creatures, preferably warm.

"I'll make it with live ingredients, piping hot." At this moment, Yu Qingxian seemed to have developed telepathy, giving Shi Xingyu a thumbs up.

Other than writing novels, snacking, reading all kinds of books and travel videos, Yu Qingxian's favorite thing to do when she was alive was cooking.

Of course, she always felt that she was wasting food.

She definitely couldn't finish all the food herself after each time she cooked.

Next time she'd definitely pay more attention to the portion sizes.

But the next time she cooked, the portion was still too much for one person to eat.

Maybe it wasn't that she didn't pay attention to the portion sizes, but deep down, she also longed for someone to eat with her.

Like when her parents were still around.

Seeing Yu Qingxian's rare bright eyes, Shi Xingyu didn't refuse her.

But he still wanted to tell Yu Qingxian that zombies ate lively, jumping live creatures.

Not hot dishes made from live ingredients.

After all, zombies needed to absorb fresh blood and flesh to boost their vitality.

Meat that had lost its vitality was like rotten meat to zombies.

With some seasoning added, it would only taste worse.

But seeing Yu Qingxian ready to show off her skills, Shi Xingyu had no choice but to resign himself to his fate.

Of course, Yu Qingxian had to stop cooking halfway when the smell of cooked meat made her nauseous.

Yu Qingxian didn't expect the meat to emit such a nauseating rotting smell as soon as it was heated up.

"You actually agreed to eat this stuff, you're awesome," Yu Qingxian gave Shi Xingyu another thumbs up.

If it was her, she'd rather die than eat it.

Although she was already dead.

"It was you who wanted me to eat it!" Shi Xingyu retorted, he already said he didn't want to eat it.

After the cooking fiasco, Yu Qingxian dragged her suitcase eastward again.

This time she didn't need to tie the rope around Shi Xingyu, Shi Xingyu had taken the initiative to help Yu Qingxian pull the suitcase.

In Yu Qingxian's eyes, this ox Shi Xingyu was becoming more and more competent.

It would be bad if he really starved to death following her.

"I wonder, do you eat live chickens and ducks?" Yu Qingxian rode on top of the suitcase, leaning against the handle, and couldn't help asking Shi Xingyu.

"As long as it's live, I can eat anything," Shi Xingyu replied.

He wasn't picky about this.

Of course, nothing beats humans.

"Then let's try to get some ducks. If you pass out from hunger on the roadside, I won't be able to carry you. I'd have to abandon you then," Yu Qingxian said while flipping through her map.

There should be farms around big cities like this.

Although most had become zombie ducks, some must still be alive and mutated.

Yu Qingxian's words contained care, yet felt cold-hearted.

They'd been together for almost a month. If he passed out, she'd actually abandon him.

Shi Xingyu felt that this zombie with human consciousness and memories was much more heartless than him, an authentic zombie.

"No need to worry about me passing out from hunger. But have you really not eaten any flesh or blood since becoming a zombie?" Shi Xingyu thought of this question.

Many zombies would become weak if they didn't eat any human flesh for 1-2 months.

Of course not to the point of dying, but some zombies would gradually rot.

"No, I'm not interested in eating people." Yu Qingxian turned the page of her map.

Her equipment had increased a lot recently.

Like a detailed map of All of China.

Normally ordinary people couldn't get this.

Of course, if she didn't come to H City, she wouldn't have gotten it either.

It recorded all places across the country in detail. Naturally it couldn't be mass produced.

So it only existed in the exhibition hall.

A few pages were randomly displayed each day, and quite quickly too.

Yu Qingxian had seen this before in someone else's video.

As expected, no one went to take it.

Now it came in handy for her.

"But zombies also need to eat. If you don't eat, you'll starve to death too," Shi Xingyu reminded her.

Becoming a zombie didn't make one immortal.

Although much tougher than humans.

But not indefinitely tough.

"Then I'll think about it when I'm hungry. If I really feel like I'm about to starve to death and it's very painful, I'll take action," Yu Qingxian said nonchalantly.

After all, she had wanted to become a zombie to give up interacting with humans.

It wasn't that she disliked humans, just...

She didn't know how to get along with humans.

Even though she knew there were many kind and wonderful people among humans.

It was just that Yu Qingxian couldn't take that step.

But there should be others like her in this world right?

If these people were still alive, could they really overcome their psychological barriers and get along well with humans?

It would be great if they could get along well with humans.

Don't become zombies like her.

Zombies...

Were not very good-looking.

"Take action? What would you do?" Shi Xingyu looked back at Yu Qingxian sitting on top of the suitcase, somewhat puzzled.

She had zero combat ability, would run at the sight of people, and was soft-hearted.
