Chapter 85
Yu Qingxian actually didn't smell any human scent.
She just lowered her head to look at the distance on the remote screen.
By now, they were already six kilometers away, so Yu Qingxian instructed the Tyrannosaurus rex to turn back.
It was a rare opportunity to test her sense of smell, and she couldn't afford to miss it.
Although the Tyrannosaurus rex was puzzled, it still turned the sled around.
Then, at five kilometers, Yu Qingxian still hadn't smelled anything.
When the distance shortened to three kilometers, Yu Qingxian immediately caught the scent that belonged exclusively to Gu Wanqing.
Indeed, a whiff of it was invigorating.
She had smelled so many scents, yet Gu Wanqing's was still the most pleasant.
As for Wei Qiang's scent, how should she put it?
It had a hint of jasmine tea.
It was the tea she liked to drink.
As soon as she caught the scent, Yu Qingxian instructed the Tyrannosaurus rex not to go back.
And as for the screen in her hand, it turned black at that moment.
Obviously, the drone must have been dismantled.
Yu Qingxian glanced down at the remote control in her hand, then tossed it into the nearby grass.
If she carried it with her, she might be located in reverse.

When Gu Wanqing saw Pei Yu'an coming back with a drone, she took out a set of equipment.
It bore the official emblem, indicating it was some kind of classified equipment.
Pei Yu'an handed her the drone, and she quickly dismantled it.
Then she began examining the contents inside the drone.
And when she saw the footage inside the drone, she knew it probably wasn't a drone from another country.
But she couldn't be completely certain.
So she needed to find the person controlling this drone.
Naturally, Gu Wanqing started tracing the signal backwards to locate the remote control of this drone.
But the remote control had been thrown into the grass by the roadside, and the person controlling the drone had disappeared.
Wen Qingsheng picked up the remote control with a handkerchief.
He just didn't know if any useful information could be obtained from it.
But he still sealed the remote control in a plastic bag.
"We've tracked Zhou Xin's whereabouts. Are you really going to confront him, Sister Qing?" Wen Qingsheng was still somewhat uncertain.
It had been nearly a year, and they had been traveling all over the country, never staying in one place for more than a week. Although he knew this was a task given to Sister Qing from above.
But he felt it was too hard.
"Confront? Why would I confront him? Zhou Xin is being reckless, but wherever he goes, there's a railway connection. We just sit back and reap the benefits; it's all good," Gu Wanqing replied nonchalantly to Wen Qingsheng's concerns.
Seeing Gu Wanqing's response, Wen Qingsheng glanced back at Pei Yu'an, asking him to say something.
Although Pei Yu'an seemed unreliable, Sister Qing still occasionally listened to what he had to say.
But Pei Yu'an was just staring at the sky with his chin propped up.
His expression was as if he wanted to bore a hole through the sky.
Speaking of which, before the apocalypse, Pei Yu'an had to rely on a lot of equipment just to survive.
But after the apocalypse, Pei Yu'an's health gradually improved, and he could even go out.
And after he had a fever, he didn't turn into a zombie; instead, he awakened an ability.
Although he still needed medication, he no longer needed those devices to keep him alive.
He only spoke in fantastical terms, with only one or two sentences out of ten being true.
As for the rest, it was entirely like scaring or teasing people.
Wen Qingsheng also knew not to rely on Pei Yu'an anymore, so he stopped asking for his help.
And at this moment, Gu Wanqing had already figured out who owned this drone.
It was purchased by someone from a studio.
Obviously, someone took this drone from the studio.
---
At this moment, Yu Qingxian didn't know how far she was from Gu Wanqing and them, and she couldn't smell the fragrance anymore.
It indicated that she had distanced herself from Gu Wanqing and them.
Although Yu Qingxian felt that the drone was indeed useful, there was also the danger of exposing herself.
So she had to make sure there was really no one around before using the drone.
Tyrannosaurus rex pulled her towards the grassland.
Although this area was indeed nice, Yu Qingxian kept staring at the map, and she didn't go to the most famous grassland.
Clearly, that grassland wasn't far from M City, but she missed it because she took the wrong road at the Birch Tree Highway.
Forget it, it's the same here.
Don't make things difficult for yourself.
Yu Qingxian wasn't rushing day and night now; she would still let the Tyrannosaurus rex stop to rest and sleep.
Because even though it mutated and became much stronger, machines still needed rest.
Yu Qingxian stared at the Tyrannosaurus rex's head.
She was thinking, if the Tyrannosaurus rex turned into a zombie, would it still need to rest?
Just like Shi Xingyu, who often complained that her sleeping habits delayed the journey.
And at this moment, the Tyrannosaurus rex, who was burying its head in eating dog food, suddenly felt a chill and looked around.
As soon as it turned its head, it met Yu Qingxian's smiling face.
"Not enough to eat? I'll give you two more pieces of dried fish," Yu Qingxian said, getting up to rummage through the sled for dried fish.
In no time, she walked to the Tyrannosaurus rex with two super large dried fish in hand.
The Tyrannosaurus rex looked at the dried fish, came over to rub against Yu Qingxian first, then lowered its head to eat.
Yu Qingxian squatted on the side, watching the Tyrannosaurus rex eat the large dried fish.
If she were to eat these dried fish herself, she could eat for a whole day.
But for the Tyrannosaurus rex, it only took a few bites to finish them.
Sure enough, its size had increased, and so had its appetite.
In the apocalypse, those who could afford to keep pets were not to be trifled with.
Yu Qingxian looked at the Tyrannosaurus rex, still feeling a bit proud.
After all, she was raising a super large dog, so in the eyes of those people, she must be super strong!
So if those humans saw her somewhere, it would be best to turn around and run.
But when Yu Qingxian thought about it, what if those humans saw her and thought she was really powerful, begging her to save them? What should she do then?
Yu Qingxian imagined that scene.
Being chased by people, she ran forward frantically, with people chasing after her frantically.
When she revealed herself to be a zombie, the other party gave her a volley.
Zombie Yu Qingxian, the end.
Just thinking about that scene, Yu Qingxian immediately shook her head.
It was fine before, but now she had the Tyrannosaurus rex.
At least it had to be taken care of until its old age.
After watching the Tyrannosaurus rex finish eating, Yu Qingxian let it continue forward.
At least find a place to rest before it gets dark.
She didn't mind, but she couldn't let the dog sleep outside.
But in this kind of place, it's rare to come across a town.
And she also saw for the first time a Mongolian yurt almost half buried in the grass.
Even though it wasn't dark yet, Yu Qingxian decided not to proceed any further.
She directed the Tyrannosaurus rex straight through the grassland towards the yurt.
The Tyrannosaurus rex naturally didn't hesitate and went straight ahead.
But the grass was so misleading.
Yu Qingxian completely forgot that there should be drainage ditches on both sides of the road, or differences in elevation from the ground.
So, a corpse, a dog, and a sled fell into the ditch.
To be precise, it was the Tyrannosaurus rex that pulled the sled into the ditch.
Before Yu Qingxian could even speak, the Tyrannosaurus rex stood up directly, made a leap, and pulled the sled out of the ditch.
Such strength.
The sled, along with Yu Qingxian, flew up directly.
After landing hard, Yu Qingxian could feel her brain, which had been gnawed by the zombie virus, rattling in her skull.
Don't let her fragile brain shatter, or the Tyrannosaurus rex would start wandering alone again.
