Chapter 48
Chapter 48
The two young men only saw the zombies downstairs, but did not see any humans.
Only the few zombies had flickering electronic firecrackers hanging on their bodies.
The young man was a bit puzzled, but they also knew that they could not stay on the roof at this time.
They still needed to find a way to find a car, so that they could survive in the city.
In fact, they secretly wondered if their team leader would be there.
But now it seems not.
Yu Qingxian stared at them for a while, then turned and left.
Obviously, after escaping from danger, they did not leave the place immediately; instead, they ran into the inner city, which meant the decision to act as bait was made by themselves.
Since it was their own choice, it had nothing to do with her.
Yu Qingxian turned and went downstairs, got on her suitcase, and headed in the direction where the two presences had disappeared.
Around five o'clock, the sky was starting to turn white.
Yu Qingxian suddenly stopped by the roadside, sitting quietly on the suitcase.
Waiting for sunrise.
At this time, some houses on the edge of the city had collapsed for some reason.
Some vines were clinging to them.
A light breeze blew, and the green leaves swayed.
Yu Qingxian stared at those leaves, unable to resist getting up and walking over to pick one, then hanging it on her head.
So the leaf swung on her head.
This inexplicably made Yu Qingxian's mood better.
"Woof! I am the Lamb Village Chief!" Yu Qingxian spoke.
After saying this, Yu Qingxian went to pick many more stems and put them on her head.
"The troubled Lamb Village Chief!" Yu Qingxian said again.
And during her nonsense, the day gradually brightened.
Yu Qingxian's previous life was always a reversal of day and night, so she rarely saw a sunrise.
She had seen one before on the cross-sea bridge.
But Yu Qingxian had originally gone to the cross-sea bridge just to watch the sunrise.
She had never, like today, waited for the sunrise just because it was about to dawn.
Yu Qingxian watched the sun slowly rise, with a light breeze blowing.
No wonder many people wanted to travel, huh?
This was the first time Yu Qingxian truly felt like she was on a trip.
Yu Qingxian did not remove the vine stems, but stared at those green leaves as she walked.
However, because of the sun shining on them, the leaves became limp within half an hour.
As Yu Qingxian passed through a town, she found that this town was built along both sides of a river.
She carried her suitcase down the stairs and could see that this town must have been quite lively before the apocalypse.
But because of the stairs and some railings, they did prevent the zombies from coming out of this ancient town.
Yu Qingxian carried her suitcase down, watching the swaying zombies, which made her hesitate for a moment.
It was because at that very moment, all those zombies turned to look at her.
If those zombies had not lost interest in her at that instant, Yu Qingxian felt like she might have mistakenly entered the pre-apocalyptic world.
The zombies now must have evolved once.
Their reactions to sound became more keen and rapid.
Of course, their clothes were also much more tattered.
Many zombies had flesh falling off their bodies, exposing bones.
Some were even dragging their entrails around.
The zombies that lost interest in Yu Qingxian began to wander aimlessly again.
Yu Qingxian could only nod awkwardly at them, before dragging her suitcase along the street.
The shops along the street were covered in dust, since no one had cleaned them.
Many plants had grown out from the cracks in the stones.
This made Yu Qingxian feel surprised.
Just three months without human traces, and these plants had grown like crazy.
Maybe it was because the current weather was very suitable for the growth of these plants.
Yu Qingxian took out her camera and took photos of those beautiful shops along the street.
Most of these riverside shops were actually cafes, bars, and some bookstores.
When she saw the bookstore, Yu Qingxian went in without hesitation.
The inside looked very tidy, with no mess.
There were indeed two zombies at the counter, but one had already fallen to the ground, probably dead.
The other one looked relatively 'healthy'.
But since the counter was enclosed, a door needed to be opened to enter.
So these two zombies were inside the counter, without coming out.
Yu Qingxian said "excuse me" to them, then carried her suitcase upstairs.
The situation upstairs was not so good.
After all, it was a scenic spot, so there were quite a few tourists.
There were many bloodstains on the ground.
But they had already turned black, so they didn't look so terrifying anymore.
Yu Qingxian put her suitcase at the top of the stairs.
She then went to take a look at those zombies.
There were dismembered human remains, but they had already rotted beyond recognition.
Yu Qingxian didn't mind; she kindly pulled the zombies wandering upstairs down, sending them out of the bookstore.
She also sent out the zombie that had been trapped in the counter for three months.
Yu Qingxian didn't know if this store belonged to that zombie.
But as a human, as an adult.
It was time to get off work.
Yu Qingxian now, was just sending it off work.
"You can get off work and play now. If you still want to come back, just stand by the entrance for a while, and I'll open the door for you," Yu Qingxian said.
It was wearing the work uniform of this bookstore, which was easy to recognize.
But was it appropriate to wear the work uniform after getting off work?
Yu Qingxian thought about changing its clothes, but when she turned around, that zombie had already run away.
Indeed, whether human or zombie, everyone runs away quickly after getting off work.
She moved all the corpses out of the room and buried them in the flower beds.
Although using flower beds as their graves might have been a bit unfair to them.
But this was the only thing Yu Qingxian could do.
By the time she finished all this, it was already afternoon.
It was only then that Yu Qingxian realized what she had done just for the sake of reading quietly.
Yu Qingxian stood at the entrance, looked at the setting sun in the west, and then went back into the bookstore.
After going upstairs and seeing the empty second floor, she began picking up the books scattered on the ground and putting them back on the shelves.
Then she went to fetch water and wiped down the entire reading room.
By the time she finished, night had fallen.
Yu Qingxian's vision was not much affected, but she still reached out and pressed the switch.
There was no change.
Even though she didn't need to sleep, she would still voluntarily sleep every few days.
After going upstairs, Yu Qingxian sat in a chair and lay on the desk.
After lounging for a while, Yu Qingxian took out her charging cable and connected it to the spare power supply on her suitcase.
She wanted to charge her phone.
The phone had not been charged for several months, but that was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that she could not turn it on anymore.
Although it was an old phone from many years ago, and many apps and games could no longer run on it.
But she could still view the photos and chat records.
Now she could not even turn it on.
This made Yu Qingxian anxious, but she did not dare to knock on it casually.
Afraid that if she knocked on it, it would really break.
Although she could not turn it on, it could still show that it was charging.
Yu Qingxian felt that she either had to find someone to help her repair the phone or learn to repair it herself.
But Yu Qingxian did not believe in her own technical skills.
She only had one phone, and was not sure if she could repair it properly.
It seemed she still needed to find someone to help her repair it.
This...
Was really too much trouble for a zombie.
