The Diary of a Female Zombie's Hiking Adventure

Chapter 133

"Welcome aboard National Line 3. This journey covers three thousand kilometers and will last three and a half hours. We are pleased to have you on National Line 3."

Yu Qingxian sat in a luxurious single-person compartment, her eyes curiously scanning the surroundings.

She had been wandering aimlessly for twenty years.

By the time she returned to human cities, she found that many of them had become green belts.

But not a single zombie was left inside.

She picked up the brochure on the table.

It introduced the current state of the whole of China.

Now, it was divided into the North City and the South City.

The north side was a Mutated City where Mutated Humans lived, who were the zombies from twenty years ago.

But now, they were separated by an energy wall.

Mutated Humans had their own lives.

Ordinary people had their own lives.

---

Mutated Humans could enter the cities of ordinary people, but they had to wear monitors and tranquilizers.

Although after a decade or so of human research, zombies finally regained their sanity.

But even if they regained their sanity, they still fed on flesh and blood, and of course, they did not remember their past.

Over these past ten or so years, the authorities had conducted a thorough examination of all the zombies.

Zombies who had consumed humans could be detected.

So today's Mutated Humans hadn't eaten any humans.

Of course, current technology was beyond Yu Qingxian's imagination.

When she bought her ticket, she found that her identity was a Mutated Human.

She had no idea how they knew.

Over the last twenty years, she occasionally visited Xiao Ji and got some stuff from her little shop that could change her skin color and pupil shape.

Of course, those things that could restore Xiao Ji to human form, Yu Qingxian certainly couldn't use.

So when Gu Wanqing first found Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji didn't hide from Gu Wanqing that she could transform back into a human because of her system.

She didn't have anything that could turn zombies back into humans.

Thinking of Gu Wanqing, Yu Qingxian hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, she was fifty years old.

And she had naturally become a hero in the hearts of humans.

As for Pei Yu'an, he was now the leader of the humans.

Since she left the base, Gu Wanqing occasionally sent her messages.

Most of them were holiday greetings for her, and many reports on her research results.

Of course, not many people knew about her, the one who provided the blood.

For such a thing, Yu Qingxian didn't care.

Because even with her plasma, without those hundreds of scientific researchers, they wouldn't have been able to create the life they have now.

And Yu Qingxian knew one more thing, that the apocalypse happened not because of the use of heavy weapons, but because those zombies were once human.

The nation would not really abandon them.

Even if the technology at the time was not enough, there would be such technology in the future.

Zombies who hadn't eaten humans had no reason to be blamed.

Of course, those zombies who had eaten humans were all taken to serve as laborers.

She heard that Ye had been subdued by Gu Wanqing and later accepted training.

Gu Wanqing complained to her that even though Ye was more talented than Shi Xingyu, his endurance was not as good as Shi Xingyu's, and he was always making a fuss about wanting to die.

At that time, Yu Qingxian was taking pictures on a mountain.

By the time she came down the mountain and received the message, half a month had passed.

Yu Qingxian had observed the training given to Shi Xingyu.

For her, learning was indeed a challenge.

She had attended a few classes with Shi Xingyu.

She recognized every digit and letter.

But when they were combined, she was completely at a loss.

She felt like an illiterate, seeing those characters as an indecipherable text. She couldn't even keep her attention for three minutes before falling asleep.

So, Yu Qingxian thought that pushing Ye, who appeared to be a college student or a recent graduate, to learn would be an unfair burden.

Moreover, being trained in a room with superhumans and rare blood types, it would be a miracle if Ye could tolerate it.

But Ye was completely different from Shi Xingyu.

Shi Xingyu endured hunger for three days and nine meals with her.

His tolerance was not something an average zombie could match.

Most importantly, during Yu Qingxian's time at the base, Gu Wanqing told her that she had received reports from survivors from all over the country who had been attacked by a young zombie.

Although it was described as an attack, more often than not, they were saved by this zombie.

Because this zombie only preyed on the bad guys who were harassing them.

Someone even dared to take a photo of this young zombie.

Obviously, it was Shi Xingyu.

When Yu Qingxian first heard the news, she was somewhat shocked.

That's why Gu Wanqing actively sought out Shi Xingyu.

Yu Qingxian thought that Shi Xingyu being chosen was not completely unreasonable.

The young man really took her words to heart.

No wonder Shi Xingtian always cared about his younger brother, he was indeed a good brother.

Not the sort of younger brother who needs to be disciplined.

Over these years, Shi Xingyu has always kept in touch with Shi Xingtian.

Although they no longer have their previous memories.

But they have now created thirty years of new memories together.

By now, the time they have known each other is longer than before.

Of course, even though they are superhumans, time does not stand still for them.

Even though superhumans have far more physical abilities than ordinary people, they still can't live forever like zombies.

According to Gu Wanqing's research, superhumans can live up to about two hundred years, which is already the limit.

But the current superhumans are all in their prime, so it's not clear what happens when superhumans age.

At least thirty years ago there were superhumans over forty, and now, even if they are in their seventies or eighties, their physical functions have not changed much from decades ago.

In other words, superhumans may have shortened the aging period of humans.

After all, humans spend twenty years growing up, twenty years establishing a family, but forty years growing old.

The time that humans truly control is not long.

Those who marry early may directly transition from being a child to being a parent.

Those who marry late spend years after graduation worrying about work, buying a car, and dealing with parents' pressure to get married.

Looking at it now, the time that humans can live according to their own ideas is very limited.

Plus the long aging period.....

Yu Qingxian suddenly thought that perhaps zombification is indeed the evolution to solve this human dilemma.

After all, zombies can rest anywhere, they don't necessarily need a house or a car, and they don't have the ability to reproduce, they are all loners, and they don't have to worry about being pressured to get married.

The most crucial thing is, as long as they eat and maintain the energy within their bodies, they can keep on living.

Of course, Gu Wanqing is also worried that someone might secretly use zombies to study this form of immortality, so she spent nearly three years cataloging and recording all the Mutated Humans.

If they use foreign zombies.

Then Gu Wanqing won't interfere too much.

Zombies from other countries aren't under her protection.

The most important thing is, even if someone really wants to study, they won't carry out their research on their own soil.

Because it's easy to get caught.

Technology is advanced now, not only do the Mutated Humans have records, but humans do as well.

Places with abnormal energy levels will be immediately identified.

That is to say, it's impossible to plot any nefarious plans on the land of China.

Yu Qingxian knew, it was because several female leads came together that they could have such a great power.

If it were ordinary people, they definitely couldn't manage it.

Indeed, only those with great ambitions are heroes, and those who only wish to protect themselves are ordinary people, they are the citizens.

---

Yu Qingxian didn't stay for the whole journey, she got off the express train after an hour.

Because Mutated Humans have their exclusive channels.

They won't have contact with humans.

Unless necessary.

It's been twenty years since she entered the human world.

After getting off the train, Yu Qingxian found a corner to recharge herself, saying she would definitely be okay, she was just looking for Gu Wanqing, and wouldn't interact with others.

But Gu Wanqing had been waiting here all along.

She used her privilege to enter the exclusive channel of the Mutated Humans.

The Mutated Humans stared at her, but that was all.

Because the human in front of them was very strong.

So the Mutated Humans just glanced at her and left.

But Gu Wanqing didn't see Yu Qingxian.

She thought for a bit and went to the place where people got off the train.

Sure enough, after passing a few columns, she saw her squatting in a very secluded corner, not knowing what she was doing.

But before Gu Wanqing could speak, Yu Qingxian immediately stood up.

In fact, she felt it when Gu Wanqing just entered the channel.

But she still felt it was better to wait for Gu Wanqing to find her.

That woman was good at looking for her.

As expected, when Gu Wanqing appeared, Yu Qingxian knew she had guessed right.

Even though they had only seen each other a few times over twenty years, they still understood each other quite well.

"What are you squatting here for? Five years have passed, why are you still the same as before?" Gu Wanqing put her hands in her coat pockets.

It looked like she had just come out of the lab and hurried over here.

"I'm just like this, why should I change?" Yu Qingxian instinctively patted her clothes, picked up her bag and followed Gu Wanqing.

She came back this time to check her physical condition.

Because her blood doesn't have regenerative power and is different from other zombies.

So every few years, Yu Qingxian needs to find Gu Wanqing to check her body.

It's been five years since she last came, Yu Qingxian feels like a country bumpkin every time she comes into the human world.

The buildings aren't very high now, but they're earthquake-resistant.

There aren't that many humans now, so there's no need to build high buildings.

Although the zombie crisis is over, natural disasters will not disappear.

Given their current technological capabilities, Gu Wanqing and her people indeed have no way to reverse nature.

Therefore, the buildings in the city are designed to withstand storms, heavy rains, and earthquakes as much as possible.

Nowadays, earthquakes and tsunamis are a common occurrence all over the globe.

Moreover, the zombie creatures in the sea have evolved to a terrifying extent.

No country can safely cross the sea now.

Hence, the sea has completely returned to nature.

Yu Qingxian followed Gu Wanqing through a dedicated passage, without coming into contact with any humans. Her body check-up was quick.

Although Gu Wanqing thought Yu Qingxian should rest, Yu Qingxian didn't feel the need to.

It would be best to resolve these steps as soon as possible.

In about half an hour, Yu Qingxian's body check-up was done.

Since Yu Qingxian does not have self-healing abilities, and the blood in her body needs to be conserved, Gu Wanqing didn't dare to draw much back then.

Enough for the experiment was enough.

So many years have passed, and the plasma in her body has not increased.

Of course, according to the basic health of Mutated Humans, Yu Qingxian's body is in a very unhealthy state.

However, this condition was the same as thirty years ago, without any changes.

After the body check-up, Gu Wanqing took Yu Qingxian to her resting place.

Upon opening the door, Yu Qingxian saw two familiar zombies playing games in the room.

These two zombies were Shi Xingyu and Ye.

After all, they were managing the northern city.

Although they were managing it, they spent more time in the southern city.

Mainly because their presence in the northern city would suppress the zombies, preventing them from leading a normal life due to their dominance.

Shi Xingyu and Ye immediately sensed Yu Qingxian's presence, and turned to see Yu Qingxian and Gu Wanqing standing at the door.

Gu Wanqing, seeing them playing games here, didn't bother them, and took Yu Qingxian to her room.

This floor, apart from a large living room, is made up of rooms.

These rooms are for Mutated Humans to live in.

Not only Shi Xingyu and Ye would come over, but other high-level Mutated Humans would also come to live here.

Because the energy absorbed by high-level Mutated Humans sometimes overloads.

Mainly because they no longer need to find food or fight with other Mutated Humans, this energy naturally does not dissipate.

If they can't dissipate it, then these high-level Mutated Humans will fall into a period of frenzy.

Entering a frenzy would cause severe destruction.

So these high-level Mutated Humans would regularly come here to vent their energy.

As soon as Yu Qingxian entered, the two Mutated Humans stopped playing games.

But after Gu Wanqing glared at them, they didn't follow up.

However, when Gu Wanqing left, Yu Qingxian's door was knocked.

Yu Qingxian pretended not to hear it.

It wasn't until her door was about to be broken down by the two Mutated Humans that Yu Qingxian opened it.

But after Yu Qingxian opened the door, they both fell silent.

As if they didn't know what to say.

Yu Qingxian, seeing that they had nothing to say, spoke first: "You two go on with your game, don't mind me, I'll be leaving in a few days."

After saying these words, Yu Qingxian closed the door again.

Subsequently, the whole room fell silent.

She picked up a tablet and opened an app on it. The app contained the streets of the entire South City and various other cities.

She could go wherever she wanted.

This app was a result of several years of research by Gu Wanqing and Wei Qiang.

Of course, this app was unique to Yu Qingxian.

In other words, it was the only one in the world.

Yu Qingxian used to enjoy strolling around the city in the past, because there were no humans.

But now, South City was indeed populated with many humans, so it was impossible for Yu Qingxian to roam the streets.

Hence, this app was created.

It allowed Yu Qingxian to immerse herself in street strolling.

Moreover, she could make purchases in these places, but of course, Yu Qingxian didn't need to pay.

However, Yu Qingxian just wandered around and didn't buy anything.

After coming out, Yu Qingxian sent the photos and videos she had taken over the years to Gu Wanqing.

Over the past two decades, Yu Qingxian had really been to many places.

Of course, only places she could walk to.

Crossing the sea was out of the question.

She had witnessed the demise of some humans and the rise of others.

Of course, Yu Qingxian knew that not all humans were as eternally united as her own country.

However, she couldn't help with anything and could only silently pass by, taking some videos and photos.

Sometimes, Yu Qingxian understood the things Gu Wanqing asked her to do.

After all, essays written in elementary school, many years later, the development of society.

Now she had also seen the city scenes she had imagined in her childhood.

This made Yu Qingxian suddenly feel that it was pretty good not to die.

Maybe in the future, they could really bring dinosaurs back to life.

She really wanted to see a dinosaur.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian sent a message to Gu Wanqing: "If I live forever, will I see a dinosaur?"

When Gu Wanqing saw Yu Qingxian's message, she was somewhat surprised, but a smile appeared on her face.

Twenty years had passed, and finally, she had some desire to continue living.

In the past, every time she came back for a physical examination, they would discuss whether to bury her.

This was the first time Yu Qingxian mentioned that she could live forever.

"As long as you live long enough, you can see everything."

Yu Qingxian looked at Gu Wanqing's reply.

Even though she knew that Gu Wanqing was trying to coax her into living on, Yu Qingxian had seen a lot of the world now.

She wouldn't die so easily.

"But in a few decades or a century, you'll be dead, won't you?" Yu Qingxian thought of an important issue.

If Gu Wanqing died, then she wouldn't have any acquaintances left.

Who would contact her then?

Seeing Yu Qingxian's blunt words, Gu Wanqing found it somewhat amusing.

Just as she was about to reply, Yu Qingxian sent another message.

'You're so amazing, can you bring people back to life, or something like rebirth? Work harder.'

Looking at the message, Gu Wanqing felt a bit helpless.

What was this girl fantasizing about?

If such technologies really existed, they wouldn't divide the entire country into South City and North City.

The memories of the Mutated Humans couldn't be restored, let alone turning them back into their original selves.

It was precisely because she couldn't do this yet that Gu Wanqing needed Yu Qingxian to keep on living.

As long as she lived, she could suppress the group of elite Mutated Humans in the northern city.

She tried to have Yu Qingxian return every few years for this reason.

Gu Wanqing couldn't live into the future, couldn't control the changes of the future. Although she believed her descendants could do better, she had no control over the Mutated Humans.

She needed a lock to confine these Mutated Humans.

Although she knew she was indeed using Yu Qingxian, she had no other choice.

And of course, Yu Qingxian knew why Gu Wanqing wanted her to keep on living, but she thought Gu Wanqing was overly worried.

After all, the lives of the Mutated Humans were much better now than when they used to wander everywhere and were killed by humans.

So, Yu Qingxian didn't think the Mutated Humans would rebel.

But who made her the angel Yu Qingxian?

After seeing the message from Gu Wanqing, she replied: In fact, the main reason is that you won't be here, and I don't know anyone in this city, so I won't come when the time comes.

But Gu Wanqing clearly didn't buy it.

'When the time comes, you can go to Shi Xingyu and Ye, the Mutated Humans have also started learning about medicine recently. Don't worry, they are all taught by Liu Siqin, and if they are not qualified, they won't be let go. Also, I've fixed all the update programs of that app, probably installed updates for five hundred years, so you don't have to interact with humans when shopping.'

Yu Qingxian looked at Gu Wanqing's message, which seemed like a testament, and rushed to Gu Wanqing's office in a hurry.

Gu Wanqing wasn't going to die from some terminal illness, was she?

At this time, Gu Wanqing had just put down her phone and was discussing a new experiment with Shi Xingtian, when the door was suddenly kicked open.

She saw Yu Qingxian come in, a hint of panic on her face.

Shi Xingtian was also somewhat surprised. Although she knew Yu Qingxian was back, she thought Yu Qingxian was socially anxious and didn't actively look for her, but she didn't expect her to take the initiative to come.

"Gu Wanqing, you're not going to die, are you?" As soon as Yu Qingxian entered the room, she said something that shocked the two.

Of course, it was just a misunderstanding in the end, because Gu Wanqing thought Yu Qingxian was going to leave, and she probably wouldn't be able to contact her for several years.

And it was more convenient for her to communicate with Yu Qingxian in writing.

Yu Qingxian heard this, then left Gu Wanqing's room and continued to communicate with her via messages.

Shi Xingtian watched Gu Wanqing's communicator light up again, showing a message from Yu Qingxian, and couldn't help saying, "You understand her best."

"I learned it from Sister Shi, I'm still far behind." Gu Wanqing smiled, after all, the person who had the most contact with Yu Qingxian in the past decade was Shi Xingtian.

In Yu Qingxian's words, it was more secure to be around Shi Xingtian, and she didn't feel uncomfortable.

A few days later, Gu Wanqing and the others received a message from Yu Qingxian saying she was leaving again.

'I'll return to see you in a few years, send my regards to Xiao Ji for me. I'll go to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex, I wasn't there when it passed away, I will stay with it for a while longer, then see you next time!'

Looking at this message, all Gu Wanqing could do was to helplessly shake her head.

She wasn't worried about her own safety.

Because every time she arrived at a new place, she would send a check-in photo.

If she encountered any exotic zombies, she'd take a picture and ask if they wanted one, and she could mail one back to them later.

Of course, when she returned, it would always be sudden, only messaging when she was at the doorstep.

The same happened when she left, she would only inform after disappearing somewhere.

Well, she still had a lot of work to do, she certainly wouldn't die for now.

They were destined for a long road ahead.
