Chapter 22
And this mutated zombie was casually thrown to the ground by Yu Qingxian, who then pointed at its head and cursed. The entire zombie knelt on the ground, seemingly trembling in fear.
It had the appearance of wanting to run away but not daring to.
It could only hold its head and hesitantly try to speak.
"Don't talk, I don't want to converse with a savage zombie," Yu Qingxian was truly angered at this moment.
After all, she had finally chosen a room to sleep in, only for it to be ruined.
The zombie that came to fetch the suitcase almost killed her.
So, the savage zombie shut its mouth.
At this moment, Shi Xingyu, who was being protected by Yu Qingxian, looked at her with completely different eyes.
Because just a moment ago, he felt the terrifying power emanating from her, almost causing him to collapse.
It was an absolute suppression, completely preventing him from having any rebellious thoughts.
Even though that power wasn't directed at him.
---
Of course, Yu Qingxian had no idea.
But after seeing the zombie truly leaving, she felt that despite its savagery, it could still be communicated with.
Indeed, her retained human consciousness was still useful.
Language evolved in humans to avoid physical confrontation.
After all, a noble person uses words, not violence.
Looking at the zombie uncle running away, Yu Qingxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close. If it had thrown a punch at her, she would have definitely turned into a pile of flesh.
"Hahaha, that's great! Luckily, the other party was reasonable, a pretty decent zombie. You surely didn't have a nice chat with it and didn't get beaten up, did you?" Yu Qingxian pulled Shi Xingyu up from the ground.
Shi Xingyu looked at the little zombie in front of him, who seemed like they had just survived a catastrophe, and still didn't react.
Was she pretending?
Or did she simply not realize this issue?
But looking at her, she belonged to the latter.
Although Yu Qingxian thought this savage zombie uncle was easy to talk to, she still felt lingering fear.
She couldn't even defeat Shi Xingyu.
It's better to run away quickly.
So, twenty minutes later, Shi Xingyu watched the little zombie running ahead, carrying the suitcase at a rapid pace.
Still silent.
Was her strength only temporary?
When scolding that zombie earlier, with that domineering appearance, he thought the mutated zombie was going to commit suicide.
As a result, that fiercely domineering little zombie was also almost scared half to death.
She packed up and ran away even before dawn.
Her back gave Shi Xingyu the feeling of a powerful zombie that made other zombies tremble in an instant, but outwardly, she appeared weaker than an ordinary zombie, always giving others the feeling of "that was close, almost got killed."
What exactly prevented her from realizing the power within herself?
Well, he couldn't possess such power naturally.
But he had to find a way to make her confident.
She had the ability to protect herself.
Speaking of which, as a zombie, it was already incredible to retain human consciousness.
Even though his level was indeed already Level 4, in his eyes, humans were nothing more than food.
He wouldn't have any sympathy for food.
But for Yu Qingxian, it seemed different.
She knew she was a zombie but was still willing to protect humans.
A truly amusing zombie.
Shi Xingyu, naturally, couldn't do what Yu Qingxian did, sparing food and even acting to protect them.
But he could teach her to possess the power to protect herself.
At least when facing a person with special abilities, there is still a chance to escape.
Just like the previous idea.
If left unattended, this zombie with human consciousness would eventually meet its demise at the hands of the humans she wants to protect.
At least for now, he could be certain that no zombie could harm her.

Yu Qingxian felt unlucky.
Sure enough, the travel destination confirmed by Dian Dian Dou Dou was not suitable.
The place they used to play at has been taken over by the authorities.
Now, the ancient city they wanted to visit is covered in heavy snow, and there is a large zombie in the city.
Run, run quickly!
However, as they were running out of City J, she turned back.
She found a super large white cloth and drew a big yellow triangle on it, followed by a large black exclamation mark in the middle.
After finishing the drawing, Yu Qingxian dragged the incredibly heavy cloth to go upstairs.
But after dragging it for a while, she was just running in place.
Shi Xingyu didn't know why the adjective "moonwalk" popped into his head.
But he knew that if they relied solely on Yu Qingxian to drag the cloth, they wouldn't be able to get upstairs even by next year.
He reached out and grabbed the other end, leaping up to the second floor, and his hand suddenly pierced into the wall like a sharp nail, pulling himself up to the rooftop while holding onto the cloth.
He didn't want to help the zombie.
Of course, he didn't want the mutated zombie to become stronger.
By relying solely on the zombies in the city, it wouldn't grow as quickly.
It was mainly because of those two careless individuals with special abilities that this zombie had grown so rapidly.
So, he should be wary of anyone who came. Perhaps there would be a person with special abilities who would help him kill this opponent?
Yu Qingxian looked at Shi Xingyu's agile movements, filled with envy.
Being a powerful zombie is so great!
Unlike her, who can only lie down and play dead when in danger.
Yu Qingxian nodded as she watched Shi Xingyu hang up the warning sign.
In this way, whoever came would know that this city was dangerous.
Let that violent zombie starve to death!
How dare it bully a minor!
But as soon as Shi Xingyu came downstairs, Yu Qingxian pulled him away.
They didn't stop running, not even for a moment. They ran for several days.
Only when she was sure that the zombie wouldn't pursue them did she stop.
"You should learn self-defense," Shi Xingyu said.
Yu Qingxian wasn't running fast, an ordinary adult could catch up to her.
And she always had a kind heart.
She didn't know what humans were like now, but they were her enemies.
Maybe she knew, otherwise she wouldn't run faster upon seeing a human than when being chased by a zombie.
She had only seen zombies chasing humans.
It was the first time she had seen a zombie being chased by a human.
"Why?" Yu Qingxian was surprised that this boy could actually say so much.
Of course, she was also puzzled as to why a zombie should learn self-defense.
Isn't self-defense something humans learn?
She had become a zombie.
What good would it do to learn self-defense as a lifeless body?
"Because you need to fight," Shi Xingyu replied.
"Why do I have to fight?" Yu Qingxian didn't understand.
She only wanted to travel and visit all the places she wanted to go before turning into dust.
"You will be killed if you continue like this. You are too close to humans," Shi Xingyu pointed out Yu Qingxian's weakness.
Being too close to humans would lead to a bad outcome.
Humans wouldn't think that zombies wouldn't eat people. As long as they saw a zombie, they would try to exterminate it.
Because if they didn't kill the zombie, they would become the zombie's food.
The two of them were creatures that could never coexist.
Born as mortal enemies.
"Well, if I really get killed then so be it, it's not like I'll feel any pain." Yu Qingxian carried her luggage and looked around, pulling out a map to check.
She had been running around aimlessly, surrounded by snow, not knowing which direction to go.
Finally, she spotted a road sign and quickly confirmed her location.
"Do you want to die?" Shi Xingyu couldn't understand. Becoming a zombie granted immense power, and this world should rightfully be ruled by zombies.
Humans should be kept as livestock, as food.
"As you can see, if I wanted to stay alive, I wouldn't have scratched a zombie on purpose." Yu Qingxian replied, taking off her gloves to reveal the wound on her wrist.
It was a mark left by a zombie's scratch.
This mark surprised Shi Xingyu.
He had never seen a human willingly turn into a zombie before.
Although he couldn't recall his memories as a human, he could tell from their reactions.
No one would willingly become a zombie.
