Chapter 117
Yu Qingxian headed eastward.
After that, there were many large and small earthquakes for a period of time.
At first, Yu Qingxian would be frightened and stand still in an open area whenever an earthquake occurred.
But later on, even if the ground was shaking, she could walk calmly forward.
Perhaps this was growth.
Before each earthquake, the Tyrannosaurus Rex would be highly alert.
Obviously, animals did have a sense of such sudden changes.
However, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Yu Qingxian were different.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex would be vigilant every time.
It would even carry Yu Qingxian out of the house with its mouth if it saw her still sleeping inside, fearing that she might be hit and killed by a falling brick.
Although Yu Qingxian felt she wasn't that fragile,
she didn't want to disappoint the Tyrannosaurus Rex's good intentions, so later on, whenever the Tyrannosaurus Rex showed any reaction, she would carry her backpack and run outside with it.
Although the subsequent earthquakes were not particularly severe, when Yu Qingxian passed through some small towns, she would still see those tilted and collapsed houses.
If the previous cities were just uninhabited cities that didn't look like abandoned cities from the outside,
now, a year and a half into the apocalypse, due to the sudden high and low temperatures, some of the glass had already shattered, and the walls had developed cracks.
Add to that the fact that these houses were unoccupied, and they were naturally severely damaged.
At first, Yu Qingxian would only pass through small towns or county cities.
When she reached the first major city, she saw that it was slightly dilapidated, and even overgrown with green vines.
Yu Qingxian didn't recognize these plants; they were neither wisterias nor tiger bamboos.
She approached the building below and wanted to see what kind of plant these vines were.
When she saw that these vines were like steel bars embedded in the concrete, and even the vine stems looked very sturdy, covered with dense thorns,
and the thorns were coated with red powder,
even though Yu Qingxian didn't recognize them, she knew these vines must be poisonous.
If one fell onto these vines, they might really be poisoned to death.
She didn't know if the poison could also poison zombies.
Yu Qingxian was about to touch it, but she withdrew her hand just as she was about to make contact.
She looked around, and was about to grab a zombie over to try it out. But that zombie was unwilling to come over, and Yu Qingxian kept tugging at its hand.
As a result, Yu Qingxian ended up pulling off the zombie's entire arm.
She held the zombie's arm, first startled, and then thought to apologize to it.
But the zombie didn't care about the arm and just ran away.
"Hey, your hand..." Don't want it?
Yu Qingxian hadn't finished her words when the zombie turned a corner and disappeared.
It was as if the zombie was moving slowly, and Yu Qingxian would pull off its other arm too.
Yu Qingxian looked at the corner where the zombie ran away, then looked down at the arm in her hand.
Yu Qingxian saw the blood stains dripping onto the ground, and then looked at the arm in her hand.
This zombie's hand was actually still bleeding.
Completely different from her own.
Because even if she was injured, her blood was like a chocolate syrup that wouldn't flow.
Although this zombie's blood was thicker and darker than a living person's blood,
it was still flowing.
Yu Qingxian picked it up and smelled it...
As for the smell, let's not mention it.
Yu Qingxian used this zombie's hand to touch the thorns of the vines.
But the zombie's arm didn't show any change.
It wasn't clear whether the poison was ineffective on zombies, or if it was because she used a severed limb, so there was no reaction.
But even so, Yu Qingxian still instinctively felt that these vines were definitely poisonous.
After confirming that the vines were poisonous, Yu Qingxian took the arm to find that zombie again.
If it still wanted the arm, she could help it sew it back on.
But when she caught up, she couldn't find that zombie.
Yu Qingxian could only put the arm on the ground.
She hoped that the zombie would come back and pick it up.
And she would never pull a zombie's arm again in the future.
She also didn't know where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had run off to.
When she came to her senses, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was no longer by her side.
She couldn't smell the Tyrannosaurus Rex's scent either, which meant that it had left her range of three kilometers.
For nearly a year, the Tyrannosaurus Rex hadn't left such a long distance from her.
She immediately went to find the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and after more than twenty minutes, Yu Qingxian smelled the scent of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as the scent of another living being.
Yu Qingxian could only crouch behind a scrapped car to observe.
Because she was very familiar with this scent.
It was the little sesame bun that was following Gu Wanqing.
Only now, there was only his scent and that of another person here.
Yu Qingxian had never smelled the other scent before, but based on the fragrance, the person was definitely a mutant.
Yu Qingxian hadn't expected the little sesame bun to be able to move independently away from Gu Wanqing.
But Yu Qingxian's attention was not on the little bun, but on the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex had been circling around Yu Qingxian all along, but now it was squatting in front of that little bun, with a smiling expression.
Yu Qingxian felt that the Tyrannosaurus Rex shouldn't be an ungrateful dog.
But she had seen it with her own eyes.
Pei Yu'an glanced at the place where Yu Qingxian was hiding, then withdrew his gaze, pretending he hadn't noticed her.
Instead, he bent down and patted the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head: "You're being well taken care of, it seems. She really doesn't eat living things, and can really endure."
The Tyrannosaurus Rex heard Pei Yu'an's words and turned its head toward the direction where Yu Qingxian was hiding.
Yu Qingxian saw this stupid dog actually looking in her direction, so she immediately shrank back.
Could this dog be a trap?
But that shouldn't be the case, right? After all, if the Tyrannosaurus Rex had almost been strangled to death, it was part of a setup, then she would have to scold someone.
However, Yu Qingxian's gaze shifted from the Tyrannosaurus Rex to the little bun, and then to the person standing in front of the car.
That person looked very handsome, and had some resemblance to the little bun.
They must be brothers then.
Although the young man had long hair, his flat chest and bone structure clearly showed he was a man.
Compared to the little bun who always had a smile on his face, this young man looked rather fierce and intimidating.
His gaze seemed to exude pressure wherever he looked.
"Brother, what are you talking to a dog about?" The young man looked around, only then noticing the big dog, clearly not understanding why his brother would bother chatting with a dog.
Although there weren't many zombies around, they would soon be surrounded.
He also didn't know why his brother had come all the way to this place, and was even talking to a dog.
Is his brother familiar with this dog?
"No, it's just that this dog doesn't live with humans," Pei Yu'an replied.
After saying that, he signaled to the tyrannosaurus that it could leave.
As for the fact that he had discovered Yu Qingxian, he didn't tell his younger brother about it.
After Pei Yu'an got into the car, he asked his younger brother, "Qingmu, do you believe that there are zombies in this world that don't eat people?"
Upon hearing his brother's words, Pei Qingmu looked at Pei Yu'an in the rearview mirror, then turned his gaze back and started the car.
"Gu Wanqing has been arguing with Dad because of this. I've never seen a zombie that doesn't eat people. Gu Wanqing's idea is too naive. Once someone becomes a zombie, they are no longer human," Pei Qingmu thought that Gu Wanqing had been around his brother for too long, and his brain had been influenced by his brother to become strange.
Where in this world are there zombies that don't eat people?
"That's true, they might eat someone at any time," Pei Yu'an said, looking at the bite marks on his wrist, then turning his gaze towards the window.
