Chapter 75
Of course, if Yu Qingxian had seen this group of people back then, she wouldn't have thought she didn't know them.
After all, when this group was in that small town before, she had even summoned zombies to throw a party.
It's just that Yu Qingxian didn't know that the people she rescued were some of them.
And the leader of this squad didn't expect that the savior who had saved their lives last year and whom they had been searching for a long time was just a few hundred meters away on that small hill.
The reason why they rushed from the south to the north was because they felt it would be easier to survive in the north.
After all, the cold weather meant food could be preserved for a longer time, and people from the south rarely experienced winters.
But who could have imagined that the further north they went, the hotter the weather became?
The zombies had also evolved, and they had settled down at the Capital Base as well.
Naturally, there was no need for them to risk returning to the south.
Of course, during this period, they hadn't given up searching for the person who had saved their lives.
But after half a year, they still had no leads.
Now, half of the crops grown on the land would mutate, although the official bases had some reserves.
But since they were members of the superhuman team, they were unwilling to keep eating the supplies provided by the bases.
Besides, as superhumans, they needed to hunt zombies to obtain Crystal Cores anyway.
And this ski resort, with its wide terrain and decent visibility, didn't have too many zombies.
It was indeed very suitable for hunting zombies.
And ski resorts would definitely have backup food supplies, even if fresh food couldn't be preserved.
But many items still had a fairly long shelf life.
Most importantly, in this apocalypse, as long as the food wasn't rotten to the point of being inedible, it could still be eaten.
So naturally, they started clearing out the zombies at this ski resort.
Yu Qingxian went from initially crouching down to eventually lying flat on the ground.
She watched as those people mowed down the zombies at the ski resort like cutting cabbages.
Indeed, ordinary people would go weak in the knees if they saw zombies charging at them.
But for these powerful beings, it was like clearing levels in a game.
As the zombies grew stronger, they also became stronger.
This world has never lacked powerful people or heroes.
Yu Qingxian stared at these people for a while, took out her phone to snap a photo, and then picked up her luggage and left.
Half an hour after she left, the T-Rex finally came carrying an enormous white rabbit.
The rabbit was barely alive, not yet dead.
And the T-Rex placed the rabbit in front of Yu Qingxian and nudged her direction with its long snout.
The meaning was obvious.
If she didn't eat Crystal Cores, then she should eat live prey.
Yu Qingxian felt that this T-Rex was really concerned about whether she had eaten or not.
But she really didn't need to eat.
"You can eat it yourself, I don't need it, I really don't need to eat food," Yu Qingxian patiently explained.
In the apocalypse, it was indeed very difficult to catch live prey.
So Yu Qingxian felt there was no need to waste it on her.
The T-Rex stared at Yu Qingxian's face for a few minutes and, after confirming that she wasn't lying, finally ate the rabbit.
The rabbit seemed to have mutated as well, almost half as big as Yu Qingxian herself.
But for the T-Rex, it was just a couple of bites.
It even swallowed the skin and bones whole.
At this moment, Yu Qingxian wondered if this T-Rex would evolve to the point of eating humans?
But after some thought, that was probably impossible.
Even if it regained some wild instincts, the loyalty to humans in its bloodline shouldn't be something a small virus could erase.
Yu Qingxian listened to the T-Rex crunching on the rabbit, finding the sound rather jarring.
Fortunately, she soon reached the highway.
The surroundings were all forests, and the scenery was quite nice.
Yu Qingxian sat on her luggage, carrying an umbrella.
But as she looked at the sky slowly darkening in the distance, she started to worry again.
It wouldn't start pouring again, would it?
And Yu Qingxian's concerns were soon realized as raindrops began to fall.
The rain started pouring heavily, with droplets the size of beans.
Yu Qingxian couldn't find any place to take shelter.
Since this was a scenic highway, there weren't many vehicles.
This highway was usually most popular in autumn.
That was when this highway and these mountains looked the most beautiful.
However, Yu Qingxian sat on her luggage, holding up an umbrella, barely shielding herself from the rain.
But the T-Rex wasn't so lucky.
It crouched beside Yu Qingxian, its body quickly drenched by the rain.
Yu Qingxian looked at the sky, then took out her phone to check the weather.
But this place was already too far from the base, and there was no signal.
All the information was last updated three days ago.
But the three-day-old message still gave Yu Qingxian some information.
Three days ago, the West Base had already predicted that a massive rain cloud was drifting towards their country.
It was said that this rain cloud had caused flooding in many other countries.
And along with the rain, cold air would also arrive.
After the rain, the water would freeze.
So all survivors around the bases were urged to quickly return and take shelter.
After reading the message, Yu Qingxian put her phone back in her backpack.
She then looked around but couldn't find any place to take shelter from the rain.
She couldn't just keep sitting there either.
So she picked up her luggage and walked forward, holding an umbrella.
Until it got dark, Yu Qingxian finally spotted a camper van by the roadside.
The van's door was open, but there was no one or zombies inside.
But Yu Qingxian knew that this van could serve as temporary shelter.
She got in, and when the T-Rex tried to follow, she stopped it.
"Shake off the water on your body before coming in."
The T-Rex obediently spun like a giant top to fling off most of the water from its body, then leapt into the van.
The van even swayed from the T-Rex's movements.
Yu Qingxian then closed the van's door.
She sat in the van for a while, feeling the dusty table and some bloodstains on the walls.
This van belonged to a couple or a married pair.
She took down the photo pinned on the fridge, showing the two of them smiling at the camera.
They had probably stopped here to rest, but didn't expect that one of them would become a zombie.
She looked at the blackened bloodstains on the floor, trailing from the bedside all the way to the door.
As for the bloodstains outside on the road, they must have been washed away by the rain.
Yu Qingxian grabbed a pot to collect some rainwater and wiped the dust clean inside the van.
It wasn't until close to dawn that she sat in the living area of the van.
The T-Rex had already climbed onto the bed and fallen asleep.
The double bed, though not exactly small at 1.5 meters, was just enough for the T-Rex to sleep on.
Indeed, mutated animals like the T-Rex still needed sleep.
She sat for a while, then walked towards the driver's seat.
She pulled back the curtain and sat in the driver's seat.
The keys were still there, so Yu Qingxian tried starting the van.
The sound of the engine woke up the T-Rex, causing it to whine like a puppy until it heard Yu Qingxian's voice and tucked its head back in to continue sleeping.
After starting the van, Yu Qingxian checked the fuel gauge and saw that the van had barely used any fuel.
However, she didn't actually drive the van, but turned off the engine instead.
Walking back from the driver's seat to the living area, the heavy rain outside hadn't let up.
Water was flowing through the roadside gutters.
It was unclear whether this area would get flooded or not.
But it probably wouldn't happen.
This place was on a hillside, so even if there was flooding, it likely wouldn't reach here for the time being.
