Yu Qingxian stretched out her hand and ripped open those iron nets, then headed towards that place.
However, the closer she got, the more her head started to hurt.
She was reminded of the feeling she had at the water park before.
Yet this feeling was not as intense as before.
Previously, it felt like her eyeballs were going to pop out.
Now, this headache was the kind of pain she was already used to from lack of sleep.
After passing through more than a dozen iron wire nets, Yu Qingxian finally saw the scene ahead clearly.
It was a huge, charred-looking deep pit, with strange glowing fragments scattered inside.
The fragments were slowly glowing.
But there was nothing else in this place.
Yu Qingxian jumped down from the edge of the pit.
Though she was supposed to feel no pain, her head now felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Moreover, various scenes flashed before her eyes.
However, those were not her memories.
Instead, they were events that had occurred here before.
It seemed that these crystals had recorded them.
Standing in the center of the pit, Yu Qingxian kept seeing flashbacks of the scene that night.
The sky suddenly lit up, then exploded like lightning before her eyes.
Afterward, it instantly plunged into darkness.
This scene kept playing before Yu Qingxian's eyes.
So her parents didn't die in a car accident, but because of this sudden bright light.
As the scene kept flashing back, that beam of light played out slower and slower before Yu Qingxian's eyes.
Gradually, she seemed to see what was inside the light.
It was a crystal the size of a human brain.
And there was more than one, only at that moment it was too bright to notice the other lights in the sky.
In other words, countless such crystals fell to various parts of the earth in an instant, causing numerous accidents.
And her parents also lost their lives in this catastrophe.
The scene continued to play before Yu Qingxian's eyes, but she felt she was running out of strength.
It seemed this place was not only dangerous for humans but also for zombies.
But then again, Yu Qingxian was willing to die in the place where her parents had died.
Yu Qingxian collapsed onto the ground.
As the sun set, the surrounding sky grew darker.
The crystal fragments in the pitch-black pit kept flickering.
Even Yu Qingxian's body was flickering.
It wasn't until midnight that Yu Qingxian woke up again.
To her disappointment, she found that she wasn't dead yet.
With some difficulty, Yu Qingxian crawled up and knelt on the ground.
The sky was dim, but the stars were visible.
It was clearly night time now.
Yu Qingxian turned her head to look at the moon, then determined the time.
She had probably been unconscious for about seven hours.
By now, she had adapted to the pain caused by the crystals.
During the day, she couldn't see clearly, but now she could see everything clearly.
After all, even though zombies have no restrictions at night, anything that glows would appear particularly conspicuous to their eyes.
As long as the sun wasn't out, the slightest bit of light would be amplified countless times in a zombie's eyes.
This was also why zombies were attracted to light.
After all, zombies were once human.
So their subconscious still knew that where there was light, there were humans.
And humans were food.
Yu Qingxian stood up and picked up all the crystal fragments.
Well, since her parents died here and their bodies were gone, she might as well keep these as mementos.
However, although these crystals had exploded, there should still be a larger piece, right?
Never mind.
Since the authorities had already sealed off this place, it meant that object had been taken away.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian suddenly had an epiphany.
Could this crystal be what attracted Ye?
But this crystal was harmful to both zombies and humans, right?
Or had the authorities modified this crystal over the past three years?
To remove the harmful substances from it.
So what were those harmful substances?
The zombie virus?
If the country had already removed these harmful substances, then how did the apocalypse happen?
And overnight, no less?
Yu Qingxian suddenly slapped her own head.
Was she an idiot?
There were so many countries on Earth, and it's not like if their country could control it, other countries could too.
Yu Qingxian bent down and squatted here and there, picking up the pretty little stones like one would by a river.
By this time, it was almost dawn in this place.
It must be around 3 AM.
She put the crystals she had picked up into her pockets.
Then she climbed back up and twisted the wire nets she had pulled apart back together.
Although it was obvious at a glance that the wire nets had been damaged.
But she really had tried her best.
She couldn't restore them to their original state.
So that no one would catch her misbehaving.
Yu Qingxian rode her luggage trunk and quickly ran away.
Actually, one benefit of the apocalypse was that her luggage trunk had been here for several hours, yet no one had taken it away.
That was really great.
Of course, she didn't mean that others liked to take things at random.
Okay...
Yu Qingxian did have that thought.
After all, when she was in school, her phone was taken from her pocket on the way home.
It scared her so much that she didn't dare go out for three months.
To silently take away her phone like that, that person could do anything silently.
It was truly frightening.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian became even more cautious, reaching out to protect her backpack.
Even though there was no one around, not even zombies.
If anyone or any zombie saw Yu Qingxian's actions, she would probably be forever associated with the four words "sneaky and furtive" in this life.
When Yu Qingxian entered the next city, she found that there were far more zombies in this city than in the previous one.
She happily headed towards the bookstore in the city center.
After all, it contained what she was looking for.
As soon as Yu Qingxian entered the bookstore, she felt a gust of wind behind her.
She turned around sharply to see a figure charging towards her.
Startled, Yu Qingxian slammed the glass door shut.
But clearly, this glass door couldn't stop the other party.
The figure went straight through the glass door and landed in front of Yu Qingxian.
Yu Qingxian was startled.
Oh no.
It must be an advanced zombie coming to take her life.
But when she saw who it was, her gaze instantly turned cold.
Her eyes once again became mere black dots.
The old ox had returned home.
Shi Xingyu looked at Yu Qingxian, who had just been terrified moments ago but had resumed her bean-like eyes upon recognizing him.
But had she widened her eyes just now?
He had even seen the color of Yu Qingxian's eyes.
It wasn't just one single color.
What was it?
Shi Xingyu didn't understand.
But Shi Xingyu also hadn't expected to suddenly see Yu Qingxian.
So she could actually move this fast on her own.
He had thought Yu Qingxian was still hiding somewhere.
So Yu Qingxian didn't really need him.
As Shi Xingyu was thinking this, he saw Yu Qingxian come up and pull his hair, look at his clothes.
Yu Qingxian stared at Shi Xingyu in front of her, noticing that his hair had grown a bit, his skin color was now closer to Ye's, no longer so pale.
Moreover, Yu Qingxian fixed her gaze on Shi Xingyu's heterochromatic eyes.
One gold, one red.
He had indeed evolved again.
In other words, Shi Xingyu was developing towards becoming a Zombie King.
But his pace was too slow.
Next time she introduced Shi Xingyu to Ye, she would have Ye teach him how to advance.
