Chapter 7
Speaking of which, she had never seen how survivors in those post-apocalyptic novels managed to survive in such small villages.
After all, the places the protagonist went to were all bases, big cities.
Occasionally passing by a small town.
Or a village by the roadside.
It's rare to describe a small village like this, living beside a highway.
If you're lucky, you might still be able to drive away.
After all, every household in the village has its own small courtyard, where the zombies are kept.
So, in a way, these small villages are relatively safe.
In front of one household, there are dozens of zombies gathered.
It seems these zombies may have come down from the highway.
Or perhaps the villagers who were unaware in this village were attacked by the zombies in the morning and turned into zombies themselves.
But for an ordinary person, seeing forty or fifty zombies is like seeing their own grave covered in weeds.

Yu Qingxian approached and squeezed into the midst of the zombie group, then leaned against the gap in the door to look inside.
The front door of the house was tightly locked.
Even if this door were to be broken, there was another door inside.
Nowadays, the doors in the countryside seem much sturdier than those in the city.
Plus, if one were to live alone in the countryside, they could probably stock up on food for half a year.
So, as long as they were frugal, living for half a year would not be a problem.
Yu Qingxian looked for a long time but couldn't see anyone inside.
She didn't want to force it anymore.
If she were to climb over the wall and go in, she would probably scare the people inside.
But as she left the zombie group, she stumbled on something at her feet.
She lowered her head and found the remains of several bodies.
This startled Yu Qingxian, and she immediately moved her foot away from the face of the zombie corpses.
Sorry, sorry, she didn't mean to step on them.
It was really embarrassing.
While Yu Qingxian was still apologizing to the zombie corpses, she suddenly heard the sound of a door lock clicking.
Startled, Yu Qingxian turned around and ran.
Those zombies were really daring.
She crawled into the neighboring house, greeted the owner, who was also a zombie, and quietly made her way upstairs.
From there, she could see the yard of the neighboring house.
At that moment, the front door of the house opened, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked out.
The girl casually picked up a baseball bat by the door and headed towards the gate.
However, she didn't walk through the gate.
Instead, she came up from the side stairs and squatted on the fence. The zombies caught the scent of flesh and blood and all headed towards the girl.
But the girl remained unfazed. She swung the baseball bat in her hand directly at the zombie's head, smashing it to pieces.
This made Yu Qingxian feel fortunate that she didn't knock on the door.
Otherwise, that baseball bat would have landed on her head.
That was a close call.
"Feeling good today, having a hot pot, and you guys are joining the fun," the girl said as she looked at the fallen bodies, swinging the baseball bat toward the second zombie.
When she killed five zombies, the girl seemed to glance at an empty space and then contentedly climbed back over the wall.
Yu Qingxian felt that she had worried for nothing.
Those who dared to live alone in a place like this must have some real skills.
Indeed, heroes emerge in chaotic times.
When the apocalypse comes, there are always many extraordinary individuals.
But I wonder who is more formidable between this girl and Gu Wanqing.
If these two were to team up, one can't help but wonder what kind of exciting story this would be.
It's impossible for Yu Qingxian not to envy them.
After all, everyone wants to live life freely and leisurely.
But some people just can't live up to their own expectations.
Just like Yu Qingxian, who only dares to venture outside after turning into a zombie.
After some consideration, Yu Qingxian felt it was best to leave this place quickly.
In any case, this girl is very dangerous.
She's dangerous for humans and absolutely dangerous for zombies.
Although Yu Qingxian doesn't understand why she possesses such combat power, she chooses to remain in this small village.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Someone intentionally injuring themselves to attract zombies and then lying down to wait for death might be incomprehensible to some.
---
Once Yu Qingxian confirmed that the other party was capable of self-defense, she started running away to protect herself.
So, after waiting for the sky to completely darken, Yu Qingxian left the small village.
As for whether the girl noticed her or not, Yu Qingxian didn't care.
As long as she didn't come after her.
When Yu Qingxian left, a pair of eyes were watching her.
However, the girl was also somewhat surprised.
After system detection, the other party was indeed a zombie without a doubt.
But the threat level of this particular zombie was surprisingly 0.
Combat power: 8.
Considering that the combat power of an ordinary person is 10, it's quite remarkable that this zombie only has 8.
Even as a human, Yu Qingxian was someone who would feel dizzy and unsteady after waking up, and would stumble after taking a few steps.
Even after becoming a zombie, her combat power was still in the single digits.
The combat power of an ordinary zombie is 20.
For humans, turning into a zombie is indeed an evolution.
But for this female zombie, she's just a living corpse.
Originally, she planned to stay in the village for a while and then go find a base after it was established.
Then she would try to team up with others and increase her score.
However, this zombie with no combat power caught the girl's attention.
So she packed her things and secretly followed her.
She wanted to see what this weakling zombie was up to.
And Yu Qingxian, the "weakling zombie," had no idea about the girl's intentions.
She was completely unaware that the girl had a system and was interested in her.
At this moment, Yu Qingxian continued to hold the map, confirmed the direction, and continued forward.
Occasionally, when encountering a group of zombies, she would go take a look.
Finally, early the next day, Yu Qingxian arrived at her first destination.
This waterfall is quite special—it's a hot spring waterfall.
The water that flows out is warm.
And the hot springs here are also very famous.
So there are many tourists throughout the year.
Especially in winter.
Of course, there are also many zombies.
Since there are many zombies, the girl was blocked outside.
She could only watch helplessly as Yu Qingxian entered the tourist area.
No matter how strong she is, she is still human.
But watching that defenseless little zombie boldly pass through the group of zombies and head to the ticket window, Wei Qiang couldn't believe her eyes.
So Wei Qiang saw the little zombie buy a ticket, line up, and then enter the hot spring tourist area.
Wei Qiang watched as Yu Qingxian entered the gate of the hot spring area, her face resembling someone struck by lightning.
This little zombie is actually here for tourism!?
When you were still human, you didn't come for tourism, but now that you've turned into a zombie, you come for tourism!
What's wrong with you?
You're not only sick but also interesting.
---
At this moment, Yu Qingxian was just going through the usual steps of entering the scenic area.
Although there were no ticket vendors, those zombies weren't lining up; they were just blocked by the railings.
But she still got a real sense of the tourism atmosphere.
Of course, she had no idea that someone was following her.
And they thought she was crazy.
Upon entering the tourist area, she noticed that many places were indeed damaged.
But for Yu Qingxian, it didn't affect her at all.
Many water facilities were still usable.
Things like soaking in hot springs and water drifting were all possible.
Yu Qingxian dragged her kayak and headed towards the hot spring waterway.
Curious, Wei Qiang couldn't help but find a way to come in and find Yu Qingxian.
To her surprise, she saw this little zombie actually enjoying herself.
It's the end of the world, who has the leisure like you!
