Chapter 116
After the vehicle convoy had completely left, Yu Qingxian continued walking forward.
Since walking on the highway would encounter convoys, she decided to walk through the desert instead.
Crossing the desert would be better.
And the Tyrannosaurus Rex had no objections to that.
So they planned to cross the desert.
Yu Qingxian was fine, but she was a bit concerned about the Tyrannosaurus Rex's food supply.
But then she thought that there should be animals in this desert, and a supernatural dog shouldn't be able to starve itself to death.
Of course, after Yu Qingxian saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex catch a mutated large bird from somewhere, she confirmed that even in such a desert, the Tyrannosaurus Rex would not starve itself.
What Yu Qingxian was more curious about now was what Shi Xingyu and Gu Wanqing were cooperating on.
So she did want to ask about that.
But she also felt that it was Shi Xingyu's own business, and she didn't need to get involved.
What she should do now is find a small country courtyard, grow some flowers, and then bid farewell to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
After the Tyrannosaurus Rex passed away, she could also leave this world soon.
But once she didn't have anything special she wanted to do, Yu Qingxian really felt like giving up.
Because the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not a dog that couldn't survive without her.
Furthermore, Yu Qingxian felt that she could entrust the Tyrannosaurus Rex to humans.
Like Wei Qiang or Gu Wanqing, these two people.
With their abilities, they would definitely be able to raise this dog.
Yu Qingxian looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex chewing on bird feathers and couldn't help but say, "Tyrannosaurus Rex, if one day I give you to someone else to take care of, will you hate me?"
At this time, Yu Qingxian did feel a bit regretful.
She was not a responsible zombie, and her initial decision to take care of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was just because she wanted to try skiing.
Later, she also felt that with the Tyrannosaurus Rex around, she would be able to move faster.
Now that there was nothing left to do, she was actually thinking of giving the Tyrannosaurus Rex away.
Indeed, she was not suitable for raising pets.
Hearing Yu Qingxian's words, the Tyrannosaurus Rex became so agitated that it started spinning around in circles.
It was obvious that it didn't want to leave Yu Qingxian.
Seeing it panic like that, Yu Qingxian reached out and patted its head.
"I'm not going to abandon you, you know that too. I'm a zombie, and I don't know when I'll die. What will you do then?" Yu Qingxian stroked the Tyrannosaurus Rex's large head, unable to help but try to reason with it.
Actually, Yu Qingxian had been pondering this issue all along.
Even though she avoided humans, sooner or later she would encounter them directly.
She was a zombie, and it was obvious at a glance.
Not everyone would be like Gu Wanqing and Wei Qiang, who wouldn't try to kill her on sight.
She didn't mind dying at the hands of humans.
She was just more concerned about the Tyrannosaurus Rex's situation.
But the Tyrannosaurus Rex used its head to nudge her body, resting its large head in her lap.
Yu Qingxian saw its clumsy action and smiled, "It's okay, maybe it's just the change of seasons, so my emotions are a bit off."
Actually, for this past year or so, she hadn't felt such negative emotions.
Perhaps it was because she had a goal to work towards, but now that she had wandered around, she suddenly didn't know where to go.
That's what led to her feeling at a loss.
It was really an old problem resurfacing.
Whenever Yu Qingxian had this problem, she really didn't care about anything.
Now, with the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly snuggling up to her, she found a bit of her vitality returning.
She suddenly felt that, in the case of non-violent illnesses, raising a little cat or dog could indeed be quite healing.
At least when thinking about dying, one would suddenly come to their senses and wonder what would happen to their little dog or cat if they died.
Even if they did encounter kind people, what if they didn't?
Just like herself back then, desperately trying to finish her novel before dying.
Now Yu Qingxian had the same idea: even if she wanted to die, she would wait a bit longer.
After tidying up her thoughts, Yu Qingxian reached out and stroked the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head, "Forget what I said earlier, okay? Let's go!"
Yu Qingxian stood up and settled her emotions.
But when she stood up and looked at the wilderness in front of her, she and the Tyrannosaurus Rex just stood there.
They didn't know where to go.
Yu Qingxian and the Tyrannosaurus Rex stood in the wilderness like idiots for half an hour.
It wasn't until they were baked by the sun to the point of discomfort that they finally moved to a shaded area.
With their backs to the sun, Yu Qingxian took out a map book.
"Tyrannosaurus Rex, you choose where we go. Just pick anywhere, and we'll go there." Yu Qingxian pointed at the map book.
She really didn't have much faith in her own luck.
So she let the Tyrannosaurus Rex make this decision that would determine their fate.
Looking at the map book Yu Qingxian held out to it, the Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't use its front paws to scratch at it, but rather used its nose to point.
Yu Qingxian had zoomed out to the entire country, and let the Tyrannosaurus Rex point anywhere randomly.
Wherever it touched would be zoomed in.
Yu Qingxian watched the Tyrannosaurus Rex move away, then looked at the location it had pointed to.
She looked at that place, then looked up at the Tyrannosaurus Rex, "Should we choose another one?"
Yu Qingxian felt that the Tyrannosaurus Rex really did like to follow her, as the place it randomly pointed to wasn't very suitable.
This city, if Yu Qingxian wasn't mistaken, was the city where Shi Xingyu was staying.
"It seems we both have limited luck. Oh well, let's go, we'll go see your brother again. I'm also curious why he wants to cooperate with Gu Wanqing." Yu Qingxian got up and headed east.
But since she didn't have a sled or suitcase now, she could only walk.
From her current position to the city where Shi Xingyu was located, it was about 1,400 kilometers.
It was unknown how long it would take for her to walk there on her two feet.
Oh well, as long as she kept walking, she would eventually get there.
But Yu Qingxian and the Tyrannosaurus Rex had only walked a few hundred meters when Yu Qingxian felt the ground trembling slightly.
Although the tremor was not big, Yu Qingxian knew that the tremor must be very large a few hundred or even a thousand kilometers away.
And at that moment, Yu Qingxian's phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was an official notification.
Sure enough, there had been an earthquake.
Currently estimated at magnitude 10.
In other words, the epicenter had probably become a wasteland.
Fortunately, there were no bases in that area.
After all, that area had frequent earthquakes before.
So when constructing bases, they chose more spacious areas.
And the officials seemed to have anticipated this issue.
So the buildings and walls of the bases later had good earthquake resistance.
Although Yu Qingxian might have anticipated the earthquake, it was still the first time she had experienced such a massive quake from childhood to adulthood.
Previously, she had only witnessed such devastating earthquakes on the news.
Therefore, Yu Qingxian was somewhat concerned about the survivors in the vicinity of the earthquake, though they should be alright.
As for the towering skyscrapers of the past, Yu Qingxian felt they were likely to collapse.
Because in the apocalypse, the temperature fluctuated from hot to cold, and many buildings in the south were simply unable to withstand such drastic changes.
Furthermore, with no human habitation, plants had grown rampant.
Some skyscrapers had even been broken apart by mutated plants.
In the apocalypse, concrete and steel reinforcement were no match for mutant vegetation.
If humans still lived in these skyscrapers, the casualties from this earthquake would have been severe.
Yu Qingxian pondered, though humans no longer dwelled in cities, zombies still roamed those towering structures.
In a way, those zombies were her own kind, yet Yu Qingxian didn't know how to describe her feelings.
All she could do was pray.
After all, Yu Qingxian had no way to prop up the collapsing skyscrapers.
