ALL NOVEL
Chapter 41
Although Shi Xingyu was indeed complaining in his heart, he still tried his best to confirm the direction.
Yu Qingxian had not gone the wrong way.
Although in the snow that was several meters thick, Yu Qingxian was indeed walking on a straight road.
However, Shi Xingyu felt that Yu Qingxian wanted to sightsee, which was probably unlikely.
With the current few meters of thick snow, it was already very difficult to even go out, let alone sightseeing.
Was Yu Qingxian sightseeing in the post-apocalyptic world something to be taken seriously?
After the apocalypse, not only humans went through changes, but also animals and plants.
Some plants had also become carnivorous.
Of course, Shi Xingyu had never seen them before.
Yu Qingxian had not seen them either.
In fact, Yu Qingxian also planned to take a look at these mutant plants.
That was what Yu Qingxian thought, but she did not expect to actually encounter them.
After Yu Qingxian had walked for seven or eight days, the snow finally lowered a little.
But the thickness of the snow was still one and a half meters high.
Shi Xingyu could still have the position above his chest outside the snow, while Yu Qingxian only had her head floating outside.
Of course, whenever they came across a town, Yu Qingxian could see that many zombies only had their heads floating in the snow.
This made Yu Qingxian feel somewhat balanced in her heart.
Of course, she was still about seven hundred kilometers away from the Eastern Garden at this time.
In other words, she had walked for seven or eight days and only covered half of the journey.
And this was in the situation where she barely took any breaks.
It was really difficult to walk in winter after all.
On the ninth day, Yu Qingxian saw a very strange rose tree from afar.
The reason it looked strange was obviously because everywhere else was snow white, but this patch was full of red roses.
And it was a large area too.
Although it looked strange, Yu Qingxian had to say, it really was beautiful.
She turned around and climbed onto the building next to her, took out her camera and snapped pictures.
Shi Xingyu did not follow her up.
Usually she would stay on the first floor, and rarely climbed tall buildings.
Except when she wanted to see the scenery.
Shi Xingyu thought before that this was a mutant plant, and as a result, she really encountered one now. Shi Xingyu was unclear whether this mutant plant ate humans or even zombies.
Or maybe it did not eat anything at all.
Yu Qingxian, on the other hand, did not think too much about it.
She had never seen such a large rose garden with her own eyes before.
It would be even better if there was some sunlight.
Like the morning sun or the evening glow, those would look very nice too.
Yu Qingxian leaned against the window, looking at such a large rose garden, she wondered if these roses could be propagated by cuttings.
But she did not have time to grow them now. She would collect some seeds to put away, and after she finished touring the places she wanted to visit, she might grow some flowers.
If she could find some uninhabited place to live in the future, she could plant some roses in the yard.
Yu Qingxian thought this way. As if very accommodating to her, the thick cloud layer in the sky actually cracked open after twenty minutes, leaking out some sunlight.
The light shone nicely on the roses in the snow.
This made Yu Qingxian exclaim directly.
"Shi Xingyu, come up quick! Don't take the stairs, it's too slow." Yu Qingxian pounded the wall excitedly.
As for Yu Qingxian's excitement, Shi Xingyu was a little surprised.
In these two months, this was the first time he saw Yu Qingxian get so excited.
It was just flowers, what was there to see?
And asking him not to take the stairs.
Shi Xingyu did not actually want to see those roses in his heart, but could not resist Yu Qingxian's enthusiasm, so he could only climb up the exterior wall.
But before he climbed to the floor where Yu Qingxian was, his eyes had looked towards those red roses. With the green leaves underneath as a backdrop, it made Shi Xingyu drool.
No matter how he looked at it, it was like a huge piece of fresh bloody meat.
So he really could not understand what Yu Qingxian was so excited about.
When he climbed to Yu Qingxian's window, he saw Yu Qingxian taking a picture of him with her camera.
Shi Xingyu suddenly remembered that during this time, every time there was a beautiful scenery or tall building, Yu Qingxian would ask him to stand there and she would take pictures of him.
Clearly this was her sightseeing trip, but she did not take any pictures together with the scenery.
Shi Xingyu climbed into the room and turned to look out the window.
The soft sunlight sprinkled on those red roses, but Shi Xingyu could not appreciate this kind of scenery.
Because he was just a zombie.
He no longer had the aesthetic sense of a human.
Yu Qingxian could see that Shi Xingyu did not like looking at scenery.
But when seeing beautiful scenery, she still could not help but want to share it with someone else.
With only Shi Xingyu around her, she could only share it with Shi Xingyu.
Although Shi Xingyu did not see what was nice about this scenery, when he turned his head, he seemed to see some color appearing on Yu Qingxian's grey-blue face.
Regarding Yu Qingxian's past, Shi Xingyu did not know about it, nor did he want to know.
After all, he was just a zombie and was not interested in the past of a human.
He was just more curious why Yu Qingxian, as a zombie, could still maintain human consciousness and memory.
Seeing Shi Xingyu staring at her, Yu Qingxian explained, "In the first twenty-eight years of my life, I rarely went out sightseeing. As you know, my health condition was not suitable for going out. And my parents died in a car accident while traveling. So I disliked going out even more after that."
Sighing at this point, Yu Qingxian continued, "Sometimes I would think, wouldn't it have been better if I went with my parents at that time?" Yu Qingxian regretted it in her heart.
After her parents passed away, Yu Qingxian lived a chaotic life with irregular sleeping patterns.
She actually thought she would live like this for her whole life.
She totally did not expect to encounter the apocalypse.
Perhaps it was exactly because of the apocalypse that gave her the courage to walk out of that room.
"If I was a human, or had human consciousness like you, wouldn't I be able to respond to your topic from a human perspective?" Shi Xingyu was probably able to understand her words, but could not fully comprehend their meaning.
The reason why she would suddenly say these things to him was probably because she wanted someone to chat with her.
Yu Qingxian was surprised that Shi Xingyu actually tried to understand human thoughts.
"No, it is because you are a zombie that I say these things to you. I feel like I do not need comfort or sympathy, those things have no use for me." Yu Qingxian explained.
It was exactly because Shi Xingyu understood nothing that Yu Qingxian could be unrestrained in front of him.
It was like when she was at home, she would chat with her figurines and plush dolls.
She did not need any response.
Shi Xingyu was a little surprised at Yu Qingxian's words.
Humans were social animals. So Shi Xingyu always felt that Yu Qingxian actually needed friends.
Otherwise she would not bring him along.
"So what's the reason you're willing to bring me along?" Shi Xingyu asked her.
"But wasn't it you who followed me? I never said I would travel with you, right?" Yu Qingxian retorted.
She never told Shi Xingyu to accompany her.
Besides, she had already bid Shi Xingyu farewell twice.
Yet Shi Xingyu always caught up.
In Yu Qingxian's eyes, Shi Xingyu was just like a figurine.
She had seen many mobile game or anime fans who would carry a cotton doll or standing prop of their favorite character when they went out to take pictures.
When Yu Qingxian asked Shi Xingyu to stand there for her to take pictures, it was like bringing along a figurine to check in the places they visited.
Probably...
