Yu Qingxian wrestled with the dilemma of whether to learn to repair her phone herself or find someone to repair it until dawn.
In the end, Yu Qingxian chose to learn it herself.
Since she wanted to self-study, she needed to look at tutorials.
She had no knowledge in this area.
It seemed like it would be very difficult to learn without a teacher, didn't it?
Yu Qingxian thought, surely she wouldn't take ten years to learn it.
She couldn't wait ten years for it.
But her phone certainly couldn't wait either.
Yu Qingxian was so anxious that she banged her head on the table.
The major she studied back in school was completely useless in the apocalypse!
Yu Qingxian looked at her fully charged phone, yet she still couldn't turn it on, which left her utterly perplexed.
If it could charge, why couldn't it turn on?
She had even thought about getting a computer and transferring all the data onto it.
But now the phone wouldn't even boot up.
Could it be that it froze in the low temperatures during the heavy snow before?
That seemed plausible.
After all, the phone she was using would automatically shut down in low temperatures and couldn't be turned on at all.
But now she had come to a warm place.
No matter what, it should turn on, right?
Yu Qingxian placed the phone on the table and reached out to open the window beside her.
Sunlight poured in, and Yu Qingxian turned to grab a book from the shelf nearby.
She seemed to be preparing to settle down in this town.
Reading in the morning, going for a walk at noon, and sitting in a restaurant for half an hour.
Even though no one would cook for her, and she didn't need to eat.
But there were some things Yu Qingxian just wanted to do.
After all, that's what tourists would do, right?
Yu Qingxian sat in the chair for a while before getting up and leaving.
She strolled leisurely like a true tourist.
No need for a mask, and no one would stare at her.
No one would suddenly approach her and strike up a conversation either.
Of course, that wouldn't happen before the apocalypse either.
It's just that no matter what she did, she needed to interact with people, which was something that really troubled her.
After all, she really wasn't good at communicating with humans.
As Yu Qingxian passed by a dental clinic, the wind blew, and her long hair fluttered.
It seemed like she saw something.
She stopped and looked towards the dental clinic.
For some reason, it felt like she had forgotten something that suddenly resurfaced in her mind.
Back then, she was already twenty years old.
An adult who should have been able to see a doctor on her own, but she was still clinging to her mother's clothes like a three-year-old child, following behind her.
Because when she went to see the dentist, it was only the dentist and herself.
Her mother waited outside, and the doctor only said a few words to her, but she couldn't help but cry the whole time.
This led the doctor to think that perhaps the anesthesia had worn off and she was crying from the pain.
She could only cover her eyes and tell the doctor not to talk to her.
Thinking back now, the doctor must have thought she was sick.
She really did trouble the doctor back then.
Being human is truly tiring.
There are those like her who are inept at interacting with humans, and those who have no choice but to deal with all sorts of people for their livelihood.
Yu Qingxian leaned in and peered through the glass door.
There were no zombies inside, but many of the equipment was gone.
It must have been taken by survivors.
But that made sense, since those things would be very much needed in the apocalypse.
But it also made Yu Qingxian think of something.
Since survivors had come here to take things, did that mean survivors would come here?
Would she be in danger?
Yu Qingxian turned to look at the roads on both sides of the river.
There weren't that many zombies on the two sides, with most of them congregating at the intersections.
Because vehicles would pass through the roads from time to time.
These zombies would then gather at the intersections.
So when Yu Qingxian came down the steps, this place was filled with zombies.
Yu Qingxian strolled back to the bookstore.
She spent another afternoon wandering around with her fully charged camera, taking pictures.
Sometimes of houses, sometimes of the river, sometimes of zombies, and sometimes of flowers.
In any case, it was definitely not something she would have done in her previous life.
Yu Qingxian stayed in this town for five days, walking from one end of the town to the other.
Although this kind of town was already filled with a commercial atmosphere.
It might have even been frequently criticized online in the past.
But now that it had quieted down, looking at it, it was beautiful.
Yu Qingxian pulled her luggage and stood at the end of the town, looking up at the blue sky with white clouds drifting by.
A few birds flew overhead, chirping.
Yu Qingxian smiled faintly.
She needed to move on to her next destination.
She waved goodbye to the town.
Who knows, the next time she came, would this town be back in human hands?
Yu Qingxian rode on her beloved luggage once more and continued forward.
Estimating that if she went further, she would be able to see the Official Base.
Though she didn't know how far the distance was.
After another three days of walking, when Yu Qingxian arrived at a small town, she found that there were no zombies in this town.
This instantly made Yu Qingxian realize that this place belonged to humans.
However, since no one lived here, it was unnaturally quiet.
Yu Qingxian carefully sniffed and confirmed that there were no humans in this small town before finding a tall building to climb.
Then she used a telescope to observe the distance.
Finally, she was able to spot a black dot on the horizon.
But because of the distance, it only appeared as a black dot to Yu Qingxian.
However, being able to see this city from such a far distance was enough to indicate that the city walls were very tall and large.
This made Yu Qingxian even more curious about the new survivor base.
But it wasn't a simple matter to approach the survivor base.
Of course, for humans, seeing the base meant seeing the hope of life.
So how could she get closer to humanity's new home?
After all, there would be people who could repair electronics where there were people.
But there should be people alive who could repair phones, right?
Yu Qingxian wished she could turn into a human and rush to the base to get her phone repaired.
The longer she dragged it out, the lower the chances of getting it repaired, right?
Yu Qingxian thought, it seemed like she really had to start from scratch.
This made Yu Qingxian anxiously pace around the room.
And just as she was anxious, she smelled the scent of humans.
This startled her.
Because humans were approaching.
Yu Qingxian was so frightened that she tiptoed and hid in the room.
Fortunately, these humans had no intention of coming upstairs.
They seemed to be conducting some kind of covert transaction.
Saying something about the Black Market being fifty kilometers east of the Official Base.
There, anything could be traded, but because so many things were traded, it wasn't officially protected.
But the advantage was that the people in the Black Market were all very skilled.
Whether it was modifying vehicles or buying hot weapons, it was all possible.
Therefore, they were protected by several meta-ability squadrons, occasionally helping to clear out nearby zombies.
Of course, the Black Market generally accepted drugs and food as payment.
After hearing these people's words, Yu Qingxian was a bit surprised.
Since it was a Black Market, if she covered her face, didn't speak, and only typed on a tablet for them to read, it should be fine, right?
Besides, for drugs and food, it would be convenient for her to get them.
It was just fifty kilometers east of the Official Base, but she didn't know what that place was.
Nevermind, having a direction was still good.
Yu Qingxian carefully watched the few vehicles downstairs, it seemed like they were trading something.
Yu Qingxian just squatted upstairs, listening to their transaction.
Apparently, they were trading crystal cores.
Twenty minutes later, the two groups of people left the place.
After confirming that they had left, Yu Qingxian went downstairs.
But just as she was about to leave, she noticed a piece of paper on the ground.
It seemed to be the location of that place.
Without a second thought, Yu Qingxian picked it up and put it in her pocket.
