The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure

Chapter 29



Chapter 29

"Of course, when it comes to preying on targets, one would naturally find ways to do so. Perhaps this is an instinct that remains from my human days," Shi Xingyu replied honestly.

Although he couldn't quite understand the meaning of some words, his intuition as a former human told him how to respond and react.

It was something innate to them as zombies.

Zombies weren't exactly social creatures; the stronger the zombie, the stronger their territorial instincts.

And zombies had no emotions; they only thought about becoming stronger.

Just like now, the reason Shi Xingyu followed Yu Qingxian wasn't just because of curiosity about her, but also because in his eyes, she was genuinely powerful.

At least by staying by Yu Qingxian's side, he could protect himself if they encountered zombies of higher rank.

---

Yu Qingxian listened to Shi Xingyu's words and didn't ask anything further.

Instead, she picked up the small bag containing Shi Xingyu and could feel energy emanating from it.

It must be crystal cores.

These things were important not only to superhumans but also to zombies.

By giving her this bag, she would probably be able to kill quite a few zombies.

No wonder it took her the whole night.

Nevertheless, Yu Qingxian handed the crystal core in her hand to Shi Xingyu.

"You keep this; I don't need such things. But it could be used as a chess piece," Yu Qingxian said, playing with one in her hand and returning the rest of the crystal cores to Shi Xingyu.

This surprised Shi Xingyu.

Although zombies had turned into monsters, they still needed to feed.

If there was no food, they had to absorb energy from crystal cores.

That's why many high-level zombies killed their own kind.

Naturally, it was to avoid attracting human attention, so they needed to absorb more crystal cores.

However, the effect of these ordinary crystal cores decreased as the zombie's rank increased.

They needed to find crystal cores of the same level.

But zombies of the same level weren't easy to kill.

That's when they needed superhumans among humans.

Even ordinary superhumans had crystal cores in their bodies that were extremely valuable to high-level zombies.

Like the mutated zombie from before, obviously lacking in intelligence, it gained such immense power because of those two superhumans.

It's really unfair.

Those dumb creatures could kill two superhumans.

Meanwhile, he had to follow Yu Qingxian, this leisurely zombie, to this bridge to watch a non-existent sunrise on a snowy day full of dark clouds.

He rarely did a kind deed by bringing her some crystal cores, and her response was to use them as chess pieces.

Forget it, let him starve.

Shi Xingyu reached out and took the bag of crystal cores, shaking them all into his mouth.

He chewed them loudly, sounding like eating fried peanuts.

"You sound like a rat," Yu Qingxian couldn't help but comment upon hearing the sound.

Shi Xingyu: ...

Can you say something nice?

What do you mean, sounding like a rat?

Just then, a mutated rat happened to pass by, seemingly eating something, and its sound was exactly the same as Shi Xingyu chewing on the crystal cores.

Yu Qingxian burst into laughter upon hearing that sound and patted the roof of the car.

Annoyed, Shi Xingyu slapped the rat into the sea with one hand and then turned around to clean up the zombies again.

Yu Qingxian paid no attention to him.

Teenagers being rebellious is normal.

---

Yu Qingxian gazed at the gradually brightening sky, even tinged with a golden hue.

This prompted Yu Qingxian to immediately climb down from the roof of the car and open the luggage trunk to retrieve her camera.

Unable to vent her frustration by killing zombies in the distance, she waved at Shi Xingyu, who was about to throw a car.

"Come over quickly, the sun is about to rise!" Yu Qingxian maintained her good-natured demeanor.

Shi Xingyu looked at her slightly smiling face and reluctantly let go of the car in his hand, walking towards her.

He didn't understand what was so fascinating about the sun.

In fact, a golden line appeared between the sky and the sea in the east.

It was as if someone had drawn a streak of light with colored pens in this darkness.

Although the clouds hadn't completely dispersed, they couldn't obstruct the sun rising from the sea.

Yu Qingxian sat on the roof of the car, holding her camera and taking photos of the distant sea.

After taking a few shots, she set the camera aside and earnestly watched the sunrise.

Although the sun rises every day, whether it's cloudy or sunny, rainy or snowy.

It's always there.

Yu Qingxian had lived for twenty-eight years and had never really watched a sunrise.

Of course, she had seen it many times in other people's travel videos.

Sometimes she envied others for being able to go out and travel, but at other times, it filled her with fear.

Because her parents died while traveling.

This made Yu Qingxian even less willing to go out.

As she looked at this beautiful sunrise, she rarely didn't resist the words "daybreak."

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Yu Qingxian asked Shi Xingyu.

Squinting his eyes, Shi Xingyu couldn't help but say, "It's too dazzling."

"Here, I prepared something." Yu Qingxian, rarely praising Shi Xingyu's words, handed him a pair of sunglasses.

Before Shi Xingyu could even take the sunglasses, Yu Qingxian had already put them on.

After becoming a zombie, her vision had indeed improved a lot, so she was sensitive to light.

The sunrise was indeed beautiful, but it was too dazzling.

Seeing Yu Qingxian's leisurely appearance, Shi Xingyu couldn't help but feel puzzled as he received the sunglasses and looked towards the direction where the sun was rising.

Hmm, it was just average.

Yu Qingxian had witnessed the sunrise on the bridge across the sea, so this trip could be considered a perfect ending.

Although the sun had risen, its light felt cold.

There was no trace of the snow melting on the ground.

Yu Qingxian packed up her things and hopped along with her suitcase towards the shore.

Shi Xingyu couldn't understand why Yu Qingxian took the risk of coming to this bridge just to watch the sunrise.

Was it really necessary?

She was truly the most boring zombie in the world.

And he was even more boring for following her obediently.

Shi Xingyu thought that he had scolded himself.

Yu Qingxian was in a good mood as she took out a map and drew a checkmark on the bridge.

Then she headed towards the garden in the east.

But to visit the garden and imperial city, should she change into ancient attire?

Well, it wasn't necessary to wear it now. What if she encountered any danger? She would end up dirtying that attire.

It wouldn't be suitable, not suitable at all.

Let's add wearing Hanfu to the list of things I want to do for now.

With this in mind, Yu Qingxian wasted no time in leaving the bridge.

Yesterday, the person on this outpost was killed by Gu Wanqing.

So, new people will be sent in a few days.

There might be superhumans among them.

Even with my petite figure, I wouldn't be enough for them to warm up.

Therefore, Yu Qingxian's hurried figure left a somewhat disheveled impression on Shi Xingyu.

The sneaky and vigilant Yu Qingxian made Shi Xingyu find it amusing.

It's the first time he has seen zombies being afraid of humans, while humans usually fear zombies.

Her fear of humans is not entirely due to being a zombie; it might be related to her time as a human.

So, when she was a human, does that mean she never went out?
