The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure
Chapter 56

Yu Qingxian had never felt from any person or any zombie that they were powerful or dangerous.

So when Shi Xingyu told her that Gu Wanqing was strong, she indeed couldn't feel it.

But now, Yu Qingxian clearly felt it.

This zombie was powerful, just like an innate sixth sense suddenly giving her that feeling.

Yu Qingxian now knew that this zombie was strong, even giving her a sense that if this zombie wanted to, it could slaughter anyone.

Looking at the zombie on the roof, Yu Qingxian wanted to avoid it.

Less trouble was better than more trouble.

Without a second thought, Yu Qingxian went downstairs and walked in another direction.

But the moment Yu Qingxian took her eyes off it, the zombie on the roof instantly felt something.

It looked towards Yu Qingxian's direction.

Because just then, a gaze made its back feel chilled.

As if it had been glanced at by some powerful superior being.

"Retreat." The zombie waved its hand and shouted at the zombies advancing towards the human base.

Even the zombies in the front row heard their king's order.

So the zombies that were just about to launch a full-scale attack suddenly retreated like an ebbing tide.

This left the soldiers at the front utterly baffled.

But they remained on guard.

What if these zombies came surging back?

"The zombies retreated?" Gu Wanqing had just received the report that an advanced zombie had created a zombie horde when she arrived at the capital base, only to hear that the zombies had retreated.

"Yes, they retreated ten minutes ago. It's been half a month, and this is the first time the zombies have retreated. The reason is still under investigation," said a man in military uniform next to her, immediately becoming very serious upon seeing Gu Wanqing.

His attitude towards Gu Wanqing was one of respect.

It was clear that Gu Wanqing's military rank was higher than his.

Gu Wanqing listened to his words and took the report from his hands.

Strange things had indeed happened a lot in recent months.

Like that zombie that didn't eat people, and the advanced zombie that followed it.

A week ago, she had an encounter with that zombie.

But that little zombie that didn't eat people wasn't with it.

And that advanced zombie seemed surprised when it saw her, as it was originally going to attack their convoy.

But when it landed on the hood of her car and locked eyes with her for a moment, it instantly jumped away.

This surprised Gu Wanqing.

After all, it wasn't the first time she had encountered advanced zombies, and each time it had resulted in a major battle.

Although her side did suffer casualties, it was still within her capabilities.

Not to mention that this advanced zombie was the strongest among the zombies she had encountered.

But its decision to abandon the attack on their convoy left Gu Wanqing perplexed.

However, she didn't know the specific reason, nor could she capture that zombie and question it.

Her current task was to kill this zombie that had commanded the zombie horde.

Although the reason for the zombie horde's occurrence was still unclear.

Other bases had also experienced some zombie hordes, but none were severe.

Only the capital base had been besieged by zombies continuously for half a month, which was abnormal.

Gu Wanqing flipped through the photos and reports.

The figure in the photos was blurry, but it was clear that it was not a human, but a zombie.

In other words, this zombie was the cause of the endless zombie horde for nearly half a month.

"Hmm, I understand. I'll discuss the subsequent matters with the higher-ups." Gu Wanqing took the materials and said to the man.

After saying this, she stopped, turned around, and took out a box of chocolates from her pocket, tossing it to him.

"Good work," Gu Wanqing said.

Upon hearing this, the man immediately stood at attention and saluted Gu Wanqing, seeing her off.

As for the people behind him, they didn't know why their captain was so respectful towards such a young girl.

Yu Qingxian was a bit surprised when she discovered the zombies retreating.

After all, with so many zombies, Yu Qingxian thought this zombie king was going to capture the entire base.

But for them to suddenly retreat at this time, Yu Qingxian really didn't understand.

It would be dark soon.

Yu Qingxian could still understand if they retreated during the day, as the high temperature would lower the zombies' activity.

But it was completely different at night.

At night, not only would a zombie's vision and mobility be multiplied, but also its hearing and other senses.

This reminded Yu Qingxian of animals like bats and owls.

In any case, night was the best time for zombies to attack human bases, but this zombie king had given it up.

Although Yu Qingxian was curious, she didn't delve deeper.

She couldn't exactly go and ask that zombie king why it had suddenly retreated.

Yu Qingxian went up a particularly tall building.

Even though Yu Qingxian knew there was no power, she still couldn't help but press the elevator button.

But to her surprise, the sound of the elevator running followed.

This meant the elevator in this building was still operational.

In other words, this entire building had power?

The elevator doors opened in front of Yu Qingxian.

Inside lay a few zombie corpses, but Yu Qingxian didn't mind, directly pulling her luggage in.

Then she pressed the button for the top floor.

The elevator indeed started moving.

Yu Qingxian crouched down and carefully examined how these zombies had died.

When she saw the bullet holes left in their foreheads, she knew this place had been cleared by humans.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian suddenly looked up at the security camera in the elevator.

Yu Qingxian immediately stood up on her luggage and reached out to pull the camera off.

Since the elevator could run, could this camera also be operational?

Although Yu Qingxian was certain there were no living people in this building, what if someone was observing through the cameras here?

After all, this wasn't in a safe zone, yet this building had power.

Of course, Yu Qingxian could also be overthinking it, but it was better to be cautious.

She threw the camera to the ground, and the elevator stopped at that moment.

As soon as the doors opened, Yu Qingxian dragged her luggage out of the car and saw the base in the distance.

Of course, she could barely make out the buildings inside, surrounded by tall city walls.

Not the original walls of the imperial city, but newly built within these three months.

From her vantage point, these walls were at least twenty meters high.

To have built such high walls in just three months was indeed impressive.

Yu Qingxian moved to another spot, and the huge glass walkway allowed her to clearly see everything going on below and around her.

Including that powerful zombie that had given her such a strong feeling.

Yu Qingxian never expected it to follow her.

But strangely, Yu Qingxian didn't feel too tense.

She watched the elevator numbers flashing, gradually increasing, until the elevator stopped with a ding.

A zombie stepped out of the car.

This zombie looked quite young, wearing a one-piece work outfit, and had a decent appearance.

But its eyes weren't the familiar red of an advanced zombie. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

This zombie's eyes were golden.

Like a cat's eyes, with vertical pupils.

Yu Qingxian took out her phone and snapped a photo of it.

If this zombie wanted to kill her, she would leave a string of words on this photo, writing: "Zombie Killer."
