Chapter 1: Becoming a Zombie

When Yu Qinghan opened his eyes again, he did not expect that she was still alive.

She sat up and looked down at her hands. The bluish-white skin showed that she was not a living person.

This raised a question in Yu Qingxian's mind.

So she got up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Well, he is not a living person after all.

She is now a zombie.

——

Yu Qingxian is a person with extreme social anxiety and severe depression.

My parents died in a car accident three years ago.

She lived alone in this old neighborhood.

As for her source of income, she earns some money by writing short articles on the Internet.

Just barely enough to keep her from starving to death.

Yu Qingxian actually doesn't have much attachment to this world.

Just when she was ready to give up her life, the end of the world came.

She has also read a lot of apocalyptic novels.

But she is not as powerful as those heroines.

She lay in bed all day, preparing to become one of the first zombies.

Unfortunately she didn't.

So she opened the door and let the zombie push her through the security door.

Then he lay back on the bed.

From the initial fever to the body aches and then passing out.

Yu Qingxian thought his life was over at this moment.

She doesn't want to run away, nor does she want to be that powerful heroine.

Maybe become a wandering zombie.

But she was already unconscious at that time.

Perhaps they will be killed by humans because they want to eat fresh flesh.

Or maybe it will lose its vitality and turn into a dried corpse because it cannot eat fresh flesh and blood.

But Yu Qingxian never imagined that after she turned into a zombie, she was still conscious.

Is this what they call wanting to die but being unable to do so?

After Yu Qingxian turned into a zombie, he began to have nothing to do.

She didn't feel hungry or thirsty, and she didn't feel cold even without clothes.

At this moment, she was like a robot with a soul.

After staying in the house for a few days, I could hear notifications and gunshots outside.

Even though Yu Qinghan was aware, she didn't dare go out.

Because she is a zombie.

If she really went out, she would definitely not be treated as a human being, but would be shot to death by those people.

So when I was free, I would just wander around the corridor occasionally.

There were several zombies in the corridor on the first floor. Although these zombies looked ugly, Yu Qinghan did recognize them.

She stood at the door and looked at the zombies walking back and forth howling, with a sigh in her heart.

Maybe they don't want to die, unlike me, who thinks death is a relief for me.

Unfortunately, those who wanted to die did not die, and those who did not want to die became walking corpses.

Yu Qingxian actually stayed at home most of the time. It was not until half a month later, when there was probably no living person in her community, that she dared to expand her range of activities.

It was a bright day and the zombies didn't move much.

She was wandering around the neighborhood holding an umbrella.

I have lived in this community for three years, but I have never had a good time exploring it.

Because her house is on the first floor, she can hear the aunties talking about gossip in the neighborhood every morning and evening.

So-and-so’s second child is another daughter, and so-and-so’s man has a mistress.

Most of the material for her writing comes from these women.

Of course, what left Yu Qinghan with a more profound memory was probably the neighbor sister whom she had never met.

I heard that sister went cycling across the country because she didn't want to get married.

Although those aunts praised her so and so, Yu Qinghan still felt a little bit of admiration and envy for her.

At least she did what she wanted to do.

On the sixteenth day, the power in Yuqingxian Community was cut off.

The internet is gone too.

I originally wanted to kill time by watching videos, but now it has become completely boring.

On the eighteenth day, Yu Qingxian made a bold decision.

That is to hike across the country.

——

Just go.

The decision was made in the morning and the people set out at noon.

Yu Qingxian just carried a backpack, took a map, and a parasol and set off.

Because she is extremely socially anxious, going to scenic spots to see the scenery is completely impossible for Yu Qingxian.

But now, she is not so scared anymore.

Because there are definitely no living people in the scenic area.

As for the zombies, they didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

Before leaving, the socially anxious Yu Qingxian politely said goodbye to the uncles and aunts in the community who had turned into zombies.

She might never come back.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Liu, I'm leaving! Don't walk together all the time. It's not nice for others to see you." Yu Qinghan looked at the two zombies wandering together in front of him and couldn't help but remind them.

After saying this, Yu Qinghan opened his umbrella and walked out.

Even though it is December, the temperature is still very high.

Yu Qingxian lives in a small 18th-tier city. The city is not big, but it has a population of two million.

Based on the broadcasts and some notification videos I heard these days.

I also know that 80% of the world's population has turned into zombies.

And they in China have their own base, so the survivors have to find a way to get to the base.

These bases are where the survivors go, but where Yu Qingxian avoids.

She held the map and looked at the places marked on it.

There is a big red cross on it.

Because these places are the survivors' bases, places she absolutely cannot go to.

Since you want to travel by foot, start from the province where you live.

She lives in a major tourist province, so there are naturally many scenic spots.

Although the radio said not to go towards the border, Yu Qingxian went in that direction anyway.

Outside the community, there were many abandoned vehicles on the road, with corpses and zombies inside.

There are also zombies wandering on the streets.

Yu Qingxian doesn't know them, and they won't pay any attention to Yu Qingxian.

This made Yu Qingxian relax a lot.

However, this leisure lasted less than half an hour before she heard several gunshots and the sound of a car.

This frightened Yu Qingxian so much that he quickly hid to the side.

However, the zombies around him heard the sound and went over there.

Yu Qingxian put away his umbrella and grabbed a passing zombie: "Don't go! There are humans over there!"

"Hahahaha!" The zombie was caught by Yu Qingxian and was still a little angry. He bared his teeth and roared at Yu Qingxian.

Yu Qingxian understood what it meant, but he could only let go.

Watching all the zombies nearby rush over.

The way they came one after another made Yu Qingxian feel as if there was some treasure ahead.

But Yu Qingxian knew that ahead were humans, the mortal enemies of these zombies.

Even though he is a social phobic, Yu Qingxian still has the nature of a Chinese person, which is that he loves to eat melons.

In the past, Yu Qinghan was able to survive probably by relying on her mom who shared gossip with her every day and the Internet.

Yu Qingxian became curious about where the zombie was moving.

If it were any other time, Yu Qinghan would have just turned around and left.

But now, Yu Qingxian is not so scared anymore.

She sneaked behind the zombies and headed towards the direction of the sound.

I saw a few cars in the distance, and even some plants emerging from the cars.

Any zombie that gets close will be blown away by these vines.

Yu Qingxian immediately realized that there was a person with special abilities in the car.
