Chapter 125 The Wronged Zombie
After a while, Yuka broke the silence, "Why don't we ask someone? Maybe there are survivors nearby who might know the way to the base."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan smiled wryly and looked around, "There's no one here."
Yu Xiang was currently in a remote town, surrounded by utter silence.
They searched the town thoroughly, but there wasn't a single living person to be found, not even a single zombie. It was the same one that had been scared away by Yuzuru earlier, and it was now cowering weakly in a corner, drawing circles on the ground with its head down.
Yu Xiang stopped and roared at the zombie.
Do you know how to get to the Bright Base?
Upon hearing the sound, the zombie slowly raised its head, swaying it from side to side, its eyes filled with confusion.
Bright Base? Where is that? She'd never heard of it; she didn't know.
Seeing this, Yuxiang casually cursed in zombie language, "You're so useless!"
The zombie looked aggrieved, its mouth slightly open, emitting a weak "woofing" sound.
Why are you scolding her?

Yu Xiang, too lazy to pay any more attention to the zombie, turned to Qiao Yue and said, "Yueyue, let's get in the car and leave. This zombie doesn't know the way."
Qiao Yue glanced at the pitiful zombie and asked with some doubt, "Don't we not know the way? Where can we go by driving blindly like this?"
Yuxiang had already walked to the car, opened the door, and said nonchalantly, "Let's drive around for a bit. Maybe I'll suddenly find my way. Maybe I'll get lucky and find my way right away."
Qiao Yue smiled helplessly, opened the other car door, and got in.
Suddenly remembering something, she fastened her seatbelt and asked, "Little Yuzu, I have a question for you. Zombies are transformed humans, so they should be able to understand what humans are saying, right?"
When Qiao Yue first saw Youxiang communicating with her fellow zombies, both of them shouting something, she suddenly had this question.
While familiarizing herself with the various operations of the car, Yuka replied, "I can understand. It seems that our hearing and perception abilities have become stronger after we became zombies."
Qiao Yue then asked, "Then why did you speak to that zombie in zombie language just now?"
Yuxiang paused for a moment, then patted her forehead and said, "Oh right, I subconsciously used the zombie's language. I've always done it before and never thought it was strange. It's probably like when people talk to the British, they subconsciously use the other person's language, English, first. It's just an instinctive habit."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue smiled and said, "That's true. Habits are sometimes really hard to break."
Half an hour later, the car was bumping along the road.
Qiao Yue felt dizzy and her stomach churned.
"parking!"
Yuxiang had just stopped the car.
Qiao Yue opened the car door, quickly ran to a tree, held onto the trunk with one hand, and began to vomit.
"vomit--"
Youxiang walked over to Qiao Yue, took a bottle of mineral water from her game inventory, handed it to her, and asked with concern, "Yueyue, are you alright?"
Qiao Yue took the bottled water, her face pale, and said weakly, "I'm fine, I'm just a little carsick."
She unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth, and then spat it out, feeling a little better.
Yuka said somewhat shyly, "Then let's rest for a while."
Qiao Yue nodded and said, "Okay."
She, who never gets carsick normally, started to get carsick after riding in Xiaoyouzi's car and couldn't take a break.
Yu Xiang sat with Qiao Yue under the tree to rest.
"Meow!"
Mimi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised her head, her ears standing straight up, looking ahead warily, and let out a sharp cry.
Yu Xiang immediately stood up and followed Mimi's gaze, vaguely seeing several figures moving in the distance.
"Yueyue, someone's coming."
Qiao Yue quickly stood up, her expression becoming tense. "Put the car away and let's hide for a while. It wouldn't be good for us to show up so suddenly if they are from the Bright Base."
"Um."
Yu Xiang quickly stored the car in the game's storage, and then she and Qiao Yue climbed up a tree and hid behind the dense foliage.
Mimi had already nimbly jumped up into the tree and hidden herself.
Those figures that had been faintly visible a moment ago soon arrived at the tree where Youxiang and Qiaoyue were hiding.
Sun Yi plopped down on the ground, tugged at his collar, and panted, saying, "It feels so much hotter now."
Qian Sheng sat down, raised his hand and vigorously wiped the sweat rolling down his face, echoing, "Yes, it's so hot. The sun is making my scalp tingle."
Chen Wei looked around and said, "Why don't we rest here for a while? This area seems relatively safe. We've been walking for so long, and everyone is tired."
Sun Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's rest. It'll be good for us to catch our breath."
The three of them sat down and began to chat casually.
Sun Yi spoke first, "Yesterday, Youxiang was really something. So many people tried to capture her, but she still managed to escape. The base suffered heavy losses because of her. We really went to great lengths to capture her."
Qian Sheng: "Yes, I heard that more than a hundred people died because of her arrest. That number is terrifying. I don't know what she is capable of to cause such a lot of damage."
Chen Wei was somewhat surprised. "My God, there are so many! Luckily, the three of us didn't go to join in the fun yesterday, or we might have been in trouble too."
A hint of hatred flashed in Qian Sheng's eyes. "This Youxiang is really despicable. She killed so many of us. As expected, a zombie is a zombie. Even if it looks like a human, it is still a brutal monster at heart."
Chen Wei hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "But wasn't it our people who attacked her first? It's normal for her to retaliate. If it were us, we would definitely fight back if we were suddenly attacked."
Qian Sheng was taken aback, as if a sore spot had been touched. He then raised his voice and said excitedly, "Why are you speaking up for the zombies? Are you going to be like Qin Zhuo, protecting the zombies and ending up dead?"
Yuka, who was hiding in the tree, felt a sudden tightness in her heart when she heard this. She bit her lip and unconsciously clenched her hands, her nails digging into her palms.
Zhuozhuo is really dead.
It's all because of her. If it weren't for protecting her, Zhuozhuo wouldn't have...
Chen Wei was also a little angry, his face flushed red, "I'm just telling the truth, why are you getting so agitated!"
Qian Sheng snorted coldly, "As a human, you shouldn't speak up for the zombies. This is a matter of principle. In the apocalypse, we must unite to fight against the zombies, instead of turning against each other."
Chen Wei: "I'm not helping the zombies, I just casually said a few words of truth."
Qian Sheng: "You're just helping the zombies..."
Seeing the two arguing more and more fiercely, Sun Yi quickly stood up and stood between them, saying, "Alright, is it really necessary for you two to fight over such a small thing? Calm down, both of you."
Chen Wei and Qian Sheng exchanged a glance, each snorted coldly, and then turned their heads away, refusing to look at each other.
After five or six minutes, Sun Yi patted his clothes and said, "We've rested enough, let's continue on our way."
Chen Wei and Qian Sheng didn't say anything, silently stood up, and followed Sun Yi away.
