When the highway and the railway completely separated, the highway went back into the mountains, while the railway headed towards the city.
Yu Qingxian felt that this train should need to replenish supplies, which is why it stopped in various cities.
But in this low temperature situation, she estimated even supermarket doors couldn't be opened.
She didn't know how humans would keep warm either.
After all, on her first day, she almost became a sculpture in that small town.
If she could survive this, would she become a level two zombie?
How could that be considered an evolution?
Thinking about this, Yu Qingxian carefully lifted a corner of her down jacket, then quickly pressed it back down.
No, no, she couldn't carelessly try such things.
Yu Qingxian took out a map to look at.
This map's cold resistance wasn't as good as her phone's, it lagged a little, taking half a day to respond to a tap.
But at least it was still usable.
Yu Qingxian's destination was X City in the country's northwest.
Although L City in the middle region was also nice, that was where the Central Base was located.
The Central Base and the Capital Base were both built in the original cities.
Yu Qingxian wanted to go, but couldn't throw herself into a trap.
At this time, apart from the northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast bases, the country had eight more bases.
There were actually seven more bases.
Among them were the Capital Base and Central Base.
Most of these bases were located in places with larger human populations.
Like the cross-sea bridge area she had visited before, there were three bases there.
All fifteen bases were official bases.
Of course, this was according to the map she had obtained from the black market a few months ago.
She didn't know if it had been updated.
According to Yu Qingxian's estimate, there should be around 100 to 200 million survivors in the country now.
Of course, there were over a billion zombies.
And they had to be careful of zombies running over from other countries too.
After all, the two most populous countries in the world were right next to each other.
The zombies alone were probably approaching 3 billion.
Just thinking about that country's situation made Yu Qingxian break into a cold sweat.
Never mind, it didn't matter.
She put away the map and had the Tyrannosaurus Rex head in another direction.
To the grasslands, if they could catch a sheep or cow, she could get the Tyrannosaurus Rex some meat.
In this cold weather, it wouldn't spoil easily.
With the highway, crossing the mountain range was still quite simple.
Yu Qingxian had thought it would be the breathtakingly beautiful grasslands she had seen in videos, but when she saw the grass reaching up to her waist, she was quite surprised.
Indeed, in the apocalypse, apart from humans unable to grow taller, all plants and animals could become gigantic.
Yu Qingxian looked at the map and found the nearest large city nearby.
Although it was less than 300 kilometers away from the North Base.
But Yu Qingxian felt she needed one thing.
That was a drone.
Many travel bloggers carried that equipment.
This was Yu Qingxian's first time entering this extremely long province.
Although it appeared in many travel videos quite often too.
Of course, Yu Qingxian felt that the province that appeared most in travel videos was still her hometown.
But now, Yu Qingxian was a traveler.
The grass had been covered by frost, clanging as the wind blew through it.
The sound blew from beside her to the distance, then back from the distance to her ears.
On and on like this, in a cycle.
And she only reached the city the next morning.
When she saw the city from afar, Yu Qingxian finally patted the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head.
But the zombies in this city weren't frozen, still roaming around everywhere.
Perhaps these zombies had already adapted to this temperature.
Or maybe the temperature had risen.
Yu Qingxian took out her phone to check.
Alright, the temperature hadn't risen at all, it was probably because the grasslands had changeable weather, so the people here were hardier to the cold.
So compared to southerners, northerners were more cold-resistant.
Yu Qingxian suddenly thought of those frozen people in that small town before.
They were northerners... no, those were probably southern tourists!
After all, northeastern winters were truly beautiful.
Many people were willing to travel north for winter tourism.
Like herself living in a place that was relatively warm even in winter, she couldn't withstand the cold.
After all, this temperature could physically freeze someone to death.
Although Yu Qingxian wasn't alive, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was.
So as soon as it entered the city, those zombies charged towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Yu Qingxian immediately untied the ropes on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, then said, "Go inside first, up to a high place."
Upon hearing this, the Tyrannosaurus Rex stepped on cars and leapt up to a third-floor window, squeezing itself inside.
Watching the Tyrannosaurus Rex take this unusual route, Yu Qingxian couldn't help but applaud it.
If not for the last two pushes where its hind legs kicked at the window sill, Yu Qingxian felt the Tyrannosaurus Rex's movements would have been perfect.
She didn't know if there were zombies inside, but Yu Qingxian brought her luggage up first, then also brought up the Tyrannosaurus Rex's dog food.
Now that they were in a big city, she could explore properly.
Of course, she had to avoid running into humans.
Yu Qingxian made trip after trip to bring everything up, then hid her sledge downstairs in a shop.
She went upstairs and closed all the doors and windows.
Then she prepared a bed for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to keep warm, even lit a fire for it, before preparing to go downstairs herself.
"All my things are here, they're very important to me, help me guard them well, okay? I'm going out for a bit." Yu Qingxian placed her luggage and backpack next to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Previously, no matter where she went, she would never let her backpack leave her line of sight.
Because if she lost it, the photo of her and her parents would be gone too.
But now that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was here, Yu Qingxian felt at ease letting it guard her treasures.
The main reason was that she didn't know when she would return from going out, she was afraid the Tyrannosaurus Rex would go looking for her.
She also wasn't sure if there were advanced zombies in this city.
So she couldn't bring the Tyrannosaurus Rex out with her.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex lay down obediently on the blanket, its eyes fixed on Yu Qingxian's luggage and backpack.
Yu Qingxian didn't know if it truly understood her words, but she still got up to leave.
"If you get hungry, eat those dog foods, don't ration them, there should be enough dog food in a big city like this nowadays. Drink the water once it liquefies." Yu Qingxian walked to the door, but still couldn't help turning back to remind the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex look at her, she finally closed the room door and went downstairs.
After going downstairs, Yu Qingxian also closed the hallway door.
To prevent any zombies from rushing upstairs.
Since the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a living creature, she naturally didn't dare to seal off all the doors and windows completely.
Without the Tyrannosaurus Rex following her, Yu Qingxian didn't have to worry about heading towards zombie-dense areas and endangering the Tyrannosaurus Rex's safety.
Yu Qingxian had to admit, traveling with the Tyrannosaurus Rex was much more troublesome than with a zombie.
Thinking about this, Yu Qingxian suddenly realized an issue.
Was this how her parents had seen her in the past?
She didn't want to interact with humans, nor did she want to go out.
But her parents' social lives were very normal.
It's just that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was different from her.
It truly didn't want to leave the house and integrate into the human world.
