Chapter 9
Chapter 9
She almost got taken out by a sonic attack while blending in with the mass of corpses.
Upon careful consideration, her journey has truly been full of twists and turns.
So she needs to change her location.
At the very least, she needs to shake off Gu Wanqing and that little girl.
With such powerful humans around, Yu Qingxian always feels like her mind is about to be blown open.
It\'s better to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Before, she thought taking the highway would avoid encounters with both humans and zombies, providing some tranquility.
But now, she can only say that hiding in plain sight is the way to go.
She\'s heading for a big city.
After all, she didn\'t visit many cities when she was alive.
Now, when there are many zombies, she goes into the city.
When humans reclaim the city, she\'ll head to the mountains.
After all, she\'s a zombie, destined to turn into a pile of mud, and she\'ll dig her own grave when the time comes.

Yu Qingxian looked at the selected city and realized she would have to cross the safe zone.
She definitely couldn\'t go to the safe zone.
So she had to take a detour.
Yu Qingxian had a tourist guidebook for her province.
So it only had tourist cities listed in it.
The city Yu Qingxian chose was a city surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing a river on the other.
This kind of city is easy to defend but hard to attack.
If this area needed to build a safe zone, Yu Qingxian thought J City would be a great choice.
But unfortunately, this place is an ancient city.
It wouldn\'t be very suitable to live here.
Moreover, when building a base in this area, it\'s necessary to choose a place with accessible routes.
And China\'s highways and high-speed railways are well-developed, so naturally, J City wouldn\'t be chosen.
Therefore, this place is naturally safe.
It seems she not only needs a tourist city guidebook but also a national route map.
Otherwise, some small towns might be taken over and used as transit stations.
If she accidentally runs over to one, she\'ll become someone else\'s source of livelihood.
She doesn\'t know if she\'s worth one point or ten points.
After giving it some thought, according to typical zombie novels, killing ten zombies would earn her a few points.
She\'s probably not even worth one point.
After making her decision, Yu Qingxian set off before dawn.
After all, the faster she runs, the less likely she\'ll encounter humans.
Will the zombies in this world evolve?
But then she thought, there are superhumans, so zombies must have different levels too.
Superhuman abilities require crystal cores from the zombies.
And for zombies to level up, they need to devour their own kind.
Just thinking about the fact that she, as a zombie, might not be safe, she transformed into the famous painting "The Scream."
Yu Qingxian, who had just left the city, really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself right then and there.
After all, she didn\'t feel uncomfortable in the dirt.
It\'s impossible for her to pass as a human.
One side of her face is rotten, her skin doesn\'t resemble that of a living person, she has no heartbeat, and her blood no longer flows.
Just passing the physical examination would be impossible for her.
But in the world of zombies, she might be an anomaly.
The higher the level of the zombies in those zombie novels, the more consciousness they can regain.
Of course, it\'s not human consciousness but rather the awareness of how to survive and prey as a zombie.
So, as a weak zombie like myself,
I must belong to the type that gets eaten.
While Yu Qingxian was thinking, she headed towards the outskirts of the city.
She had to leave this troublesome place before dawn.
——
Wei Qiang lost track of that little zombie.
Originally, it was to avoid the heat-seeking drones.
But later she discovered that the authorities were using sonic attacks.
These attacks destroyed the brains of the zombies, making them even more sluggish.
Could that little zombie have turned into one of them and then been killed?
However, she used the system to scan the entire hot spring area and couldn\'t find that little zombie.
Clearly, it had run away.
How could she lose a zombie that was not interested in eating people and seemed to retain human consciousness?
Before the apocalypse, she suddenly discovered that she had gained a system.
As long as she killed zombies, she could earn points and buy things from the system\'s store.
As long as she kept killing zombies, she wouldn\'t go hungry in the apocalypse.
And she could use the points to purchase weapons.
But given the current strength of the zombies, using those high-end weapons would be a waste.
It would also attract unwanted attention.
A specially made baseball bat would be enough.
With little effort, she could smash the zombies\' heads to a pulp.
Wei Qiang was an orphan who grew up fending for herself.
She was used to loneliness.
Because she was adopted by her grandmother in the village, then the land was taken away, and she received hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Suddenly, her grandmother\'s sons and daughters came back to life.
They came to seize the property.
Her grandmother chased them out with a kitchen knife.
The thick walls and houses they built to protect against these people ended up being convenient for her in the apocalypse.
Her grandmother passed away a year ago, leaving her all alone in the house.
Because she had been working with her grandmother for years, she had become strong and physically fit.
Although she was only nineteen, she was quite independent.
She wasn\'t interested in other humans.
So when a little zombie appeared, especially one without much combat power, Wei Qiang naturally became interested.
But now, she had lost track of it.
However, it seemed that if she wanted to find that little zombie again, she would have to enter her own three-kilometer range.
Otherwise, she might never find it again.
Although it had turned into a zombie, it had the ability to avoid people.
As for Yu Qingxian,
her ability to avoid people had certainly improved.
After leaving the city, she headed east.
She had to bypass the survivor base, which meant she had to travel more than a hundred kilometers.
But for her, it didn\'t seem like a problem.
This time, she chose not to take the highway.
Instead, she chose to go through the city.
After all, there were some interesting facilities in the city.
Of course, she still needed to avoid humans.
As Yu Qingxian was thinking this, she heard the sound of vehicles.
And it wasn\'t just one vehicle.
It seemed to be heading towards the hospital in the city.
After all, the vehicles had already entered the hospital.
And behind them was a group of zombies.
Yu Qingxian watched the zombies pass by her, then turned her head towards the direction of the hospital.
It seemed that hundreds of zombies were converging on the hospital.
But the hospital\'s main gate was already closed.
Since they were able to enter the hospital, they were obviously looking for medicine.
But the hospital had not only medical staff and patients, but also patients\' families.
Generally, hospitals were heavily affected by zombies.
After all, the injured and unconscious were the first to be taken to the hospital.
During the corpse transformation, these people would rush towards the medical staff and family members.
It was a difficult task to try to find medicine at the hospital.
At least that\'s how it was in the novels she had read.
Of course, Yu Qingxian also wrote novels, just not much in the post-apocalyptic science fiction genre.
But if she were to write, she would definitely feel the same way.
Yu Qingxian looked at the zombies jostling at the entrance and took a detour through a nearby alley to the back door of the hospital.
The back door was mostly surrounded by restaurants, shops, and hotels.
There were also many zombies.
Leaning against the wall, Yu Qingxian peeked into the alley.
And then she met a pair of bulging eyes.
This made Yu Qingxian blink, and when she looked up, the zombie had already been killed.
It seemed to have fallen from upstairs and hung on the perimeter wall.
For some reason, she didn\'t feel afraid when she saw the zombie.
She was just afraid that someone would suddenly jump out.
