When Yu Qingxian opened her eyes again, she really did not expect that she was still alive.

She sat up, looked down at her hands, the pale skin showing that she was not a living person.

This made a question mark pop up in Yu Qingxian's mind.

So she got up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Well, she was indeed not a living person anymore.

She was now a zombie.

Yu Qingxian was an extreme introvert, and also had severe depression.

Her parents had died in a car accident three years ago.

Since then she had lived alone in this old residential area.

As for her livelihood, she wrote some short articles online to earn some money.

It was barely enough to keep her from starving.

Yu Qingxian didn't have much attachment to this world.

When she was about to give up her life, the apocalypse came.

She had read many apocalyptic novels.

But she was not as capable as those female protagonists.

She just lay in bed all day, waiting to become one of the first batch of zombies.

Unfortunately she didn't.

So she opened the door, and let a zombie scratch her a bit through the security door.

Then she lay back down on the bed.

From the initial fever, to pain all over her body before passing out.

Yu Qingxian thought her life would end at this moment.

She didn't want to escape, nor did she want to be one of those awesome female protagonists.

Perhaps becoming a wandering zombie,

But by that time she had already lost consciousness.

Perhaps she would be killed by humans because she wanted to eat fresh flesh and blood.

Or perhaps she would lose her vitality because she couldn't get fresh flesh and blood, and would become a dried corpse.

But Yu Qingxian never imagined that after becoming a zombie, she would still retain consciousness.

Is this what they called unable to die even when you want to?

After Yu Qingxian became a zombie, she started to idle around.

She couldn't feel hungry or thirsty, and she wouldn't feel cold even without clothes on.

At this point, she was like a robot with a soul.

Staying indoors for a few days, she could hear announcements and gunshots from outside.

Even though Yu Qingxian was conscious, she didn't dare go out.

Because she was a zombie.

If she really went out, she definitely wouldn't be treated as a human, but would be shot dead.

So Yu Qingxian would only occasionally wander around the corridors.

There were a few zombies wandering on the first floor corridor, and though they looked ugly, Yu Qingxian did recognize them. Read Web Novels Online Free - NovelFire Novel Fire - novelfire.net

She stood in the doorway watching these zombies stumbling back and forth, sighing to herself.

Perhaps they didn't want to die either, unlike herself, feeling that death would be a relief for her.

Unfortunately, those who wanted to die didn't, while those who didn't, had become corpses.

Yu Qingxian actually spent most of her time at home. It wasn't until half a month later when there probably weren't any living humans left in her residential area that she dared to expand her range of activities.

The midday sun was scorching, even the zombies didn't move around much.

But she took an umbrella and strolled around the residential area.

Having lived in this residential area for three years, she hadn't really toured around it properly.

Her home was on the first floor. In early mornings and evenings she could hear the aunties and grannies gossiping about things happening in the residential area.

Whose family had another baby girl. Whose husband had taken a mistress.

Most of the material she used for writing came from these housewives.

Of course, what left the deepest impression on Yu Qingxian was probably that neighbor sister she had never met.

She heard that the sister went travelling across China on a bicycle because she didn't want to get married.

Although those aunties all kinds of things about her, Yu Qingxian admired and envied her a bit.

At least she did what she wanted.

On the sixteenth day, the electricity in Yu Qingxian's residential area went out.

The internet was gone too.

Yu Qingxian, who used to pass time watching videos, now became utterly bored.

On the eighteenth day, Yu Qingxian made a bold decision.

That was to go travelling across China on foot.

Said she would leave, so she left that noon.

Yu Qingxian only took a backpack, a map, and an umbrella with her when she set off.

Since she was an extreme introvert, sightseeing and things like that were completely impossible for her.

But now, she was not so afraid anymore.

Because there definitely wouldn't be any living humans at scenic spots now.

And zombies wouldn't take the initiative to talk to her.

When leaving, the introverted Yu Qingxian even politely bid farewell to the uncles and aunties in the residential area who had become zombies. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

She probably wouldn't come back again.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Liu, I'm going! Don't keep walking together, it looks indecent when people see it." Yu Qingxian saw two zombies wandering together, and couldn't help but remind them.

After saying this, Yu Qingxian opened her umbrella and went out.

Even though it was already December, the temperature was still very high.

Yu Qingxian lived in a third tier small city with a population of two million.

According to the broadcasts and some notification videos she had heard these days,

She knew that 80% of the people in the world had become zombies.

And China had its own bases for survivors to rush towards.

These bases were places survivors should head to, but also places Yu Qingxian had to avoid.

She looked at the map in her hand with several places marked with big red crosses.

Because those places were the survivors' bases, places she absolutely could not go.

Since she was travelling on foot, she would start with the province she lived in.

The province she lived in was a big tourism province, so there were naturally many scenic spots.

Although the broadcast said to absolutely not head towards the borders, Yu Qingxian deliberately went in that direction.

Leaving the residential area, there were many scrapped vehicles with corpses inside on the roads, some with zombies.

There were also wandering zombies on the streets.

Yu Qingxian didn't recognize them, and they wouldn't bother her either.

This made Yu Qingxian relax a lot.

But this leisure didn't even last half an hour before she heard several gunshots, as well as the sound of cars.

This frightened Yu Qingxian to hurriedly take cover.

The zombies around her headed over when they heard the sounds.

Yu Qingxian put away her umbrella and grabbed a passing zombie. "Don't go ah! There are humans over there!"

"Grr grr grr grr!" The zombie Yu Qingxian grabbed was somewhat annoyed as it bared its teeth and roared at her.

Yu Qingxian understood what it meant, and could only let go.

Watching the zombies in this area surge over.

Their manner of going forward without regard made Yu Qingxian feel like there was some treasure over there.

But Yu Qingxian knew, ahead were humans, the mortal enemies of these zombies.

Even though she was an introvert, Yu Qingxian still had the Chinese people's essence of loving to eat melon seeds while watching the show.

In the past, Yu Qingxian was only able to live probably thanks to the aunties sharing gossips and the internet every day.

The zombies shuffling over there piqued Yu Qingxian's curiosity as well.

In the past, Yu Qingxian would have turned around and left already. But now, she wasn't so afraid anymore.

She furtively followed behind those zombies towards the source of the sounds.

From a distance she saw several vehicles, there were even some plants bursting out from inside the vehicles.

Any zombie that got near would get whipped away by these vines.

Yu Qingxian immediately realized there were espers inside the vehicles.
