The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure
Chapter 46

This is how Yu Qingxian thought about it - she needed to be cautious and careful.

First, she would secretly trail those teams of ability users.

Previously, Yu Qingxian had always avoided humans.

But now, Yu Qingxian would follow the humans.

Although following humans, she naturally had to be wary of some ability users or mutants, like those with keen eyesight or sharp hearing.

However, Yu Qingxian didn't need to constantly follow right behind the humans.

As long as she could roughly determine their direction, that would suffice.

Wherever humans were headed must be a safe place for them.

If it was safe for humans, then she could go the opposite way.

After deciding this, Yu Qingxian raised her nose and started sniffing around to detect any humans nearby.

Originally, Yu Qingxian thought she would have to wait a few days before encountering humans.

But she never expected that in G City, there would be so many people!

Had they come here to play mahjong?

Of course, these people were not living in the city center of G City.

Instead, they were at the outskirts.

After all, there were fewer zombies at the outskirts, making it easier to escape if needed.

Yu Qingxian could smell the scent of two groups of people.

She estimated there were probably a few dozen people in total.

Thinking about it, there must be a large base nearby.

Within a few hundred kilometers, there were many big cities.

Those who had ventured out were likely gathered in those few cities.

More zombies meant more survivors.

More survivors meant more ability users as well.

Otherwise, the coup drama from earlier in the day wouldn't have happened.

Yu Qingxian left her luggage in a safe place before cautiously taking out her telescope to observe.

First, she needed to confirm the number of people.

There were two teams separated by a few hundred meters.

Probably to allow for fighting zombies if needed.

Yu Qingxian crouched on the roof and used her telescope to observe the vehicles of the two teams below.

The vehicles were not driven into the buildings, remaining outside.

Indeed, humans had strong reactive and adaptive capabilities.

The vehicles of both teams had been modified.

Even the tires were made of thickened material that could roll over nails without being punctured.

Machine guns were even mounted on the roofs.

Clearly, in just three months, humans had developed self-preservation abilities.

Yu Qingxian examined the vehicles, then looked up at the windows.

She noticed they had anti-glare films applied.

These films allowed people inside to see out clearly, but prevented outsiders from seeing in or the interior lights.

After all, zombies were also attracted to light.

If there were lights, it would attract zombies and zombie birds.

Of course, these anti-glare films could only block regular zombies and light.

Higher-level zombies like Level 2 or 3 zombies would not be deterred.

In such cases, fighting would be the only option.

Yu Qingxian looked carefully and realized that the group of survivors closer to her seemed to be the same ones she had seen earlier in the day.

This made Yu Qingxian even more cautious.

Just as she was about to put her telescope away, she noticed something resembling a giant bat clinging to the outer wall of the building where that group was staying.

Yu Qingxian stared intently before realizing it was not a bat, but a zombie.

It still retained a human body and head, allowing her to identify its humanoid form, but its hands and feet were connected to black fleshy wings that clung to the wall, making it look like a giant bat.

Evidently, this was an evolved, higher-level zombie.

It was probably waiting for an opportunity to attack the humans.

Most likely, it planned to strike during the deep hours of the night.

Indeed, these evolved zombies were more formidable, knowing to choose the right timing.

Yu Qingxian had no intention of warning those people.

If they couldn't even deal with such zombies, then coming to this city full of zombies was just seeking death.

Around one or two in the morning, that zombie finally made its move.

It smashed directly through the window and instantly chaos erupted inside, followed by human screams.

Yu Qingxian lay at the window, carefully observing the situation inside.

She could roughly make out the pandemonium through the broken windows.

After all, such a stealthy attack by an advanced zombie would certainly be unexpected.

The screams alerted the surrounding zombies, which swarmed towards the source of the commotion.

At this point, those people didn't care if their gunfire attracted more zombies.

The earlier screams had already drawn them in.

Their priority now was to kill this advanced zombie, then evacuate the area.

The other ability user team some hundred meters away also stirred.

But there was no way they would help this team.

Even if they did, the other team might just use them as bait.

Plus, the Black Thunder Team was known for such behavior.

Especially after their team leader disappeared half a month ago, the Black Thunder Team became even more unrestrained.

Their former leader had kept them in check before.

Hence, the other teams at the base believed the Black Thunder Team's leader had likely been killed by one of their own members.

But no one had proof.

Until three days ago, someone claimed to have spotted the Black Thunder Team's leader alive in G City, but he fled upon seeing people, as if afraid of being detected.

Now that they had encountered the Black Thunder Team in G City, they might be here to kill their former leader.

A team capable of killing their own leader and using teammates as bait - the others wouldn't dare help them.

So in Yu Qingxian's eyes, when the other team noticed the advanced zombie attack, they simply gathered their belongings and fled.

This surprised Yu Qingxian.

She had expected the two teams to work together to take down the advanced zombie.

After all, the zombie's crystal core should be quite valuable, right?

Even if they couldn't obtain the core themselves, they could at least take something from the other team.

Thinking of the words "crystal core," Yu Qingxian felt the weight of her backpack suddenly seemed heavy.

It made Yu Qingxian revert to her usual shrieking chicken self.

She had forgotten to return the crystal core to Shi Xingyu.

With his speed, who knew where he had run off to now.

Phones were useless, so even if they worked, she couldn't contact Shi Xingyu.

Yu Qingxian sighed at the window.

She would have to carry this crystal core until autumn before returning it to Shi Xingyu.

Yu Qingxian crouched at the window for about twenty minutes before that zombie was finally taken down by the ability user team.

However, with a few hundred zombies surrounding them, the team would need someone to lure the zombies away if they wanted to leave.

Or they could just blow up the zombies.

But the zombies were too close to their vehicles, so throwing grenades would likely damage the vehicles too.

Just as Yu Qingxian wondered how this team would handle it, two people suddenly jumped down from the second floor and ran towards Yu Qingxian's direction.

The zombies, unable to open the main door, naturally gave chase.

Taking advantage of the zombies' departure, the remaining people quickly came down and drove off.

Yu Qingxian instantly realized those two were being used as bait.

She had thought such tactics only happened in novels.

But recalling many news stories, Yu Qingxian realized it wasn't that surprising.

Who could have imagined a charming young man you could easily communicate with was actually a man-eater?

The two being used as bait were running for their lives.

After all, if they could shake off the zombies, they would still have a chance of survival.

Watching the steadily approaching zombies, Yu Qingxian felt the odds of survival for those two were slim.

But then again, those capable of joining an ability user team were no weaklings.
