The Diary of a Female Zombie's Hiking Adventure

Chapter 51

The shopkeeper saw Yu Qingxian shake her head, so he didn't push the sale any further. Instead, he asked Yu Qingxian to give him her phone.

As for why Yu Qingxian didn't speak but typed to him, the shopkeeper didn't mind.

After all, people who couldn't speak, although rare in the apocalypse, did exist.

Anyone brave enough to come to a place like this alone couldn't be a good seed.

"It's not difficult to repair your phone, but how are you planning to pay?" the Man asked again.

But for repairing a phone, there were people who could do it at the Base too, so why bother coming to a place like this?

Hearing this, Yu Qingxian took out a box of fever-reducing medicine from her backpack and placed it on his counter.

The medicine box was completely sealed, which almost made the Man's eyes pop out at the sight of it.

One must know that even superhumans at the Base wouldn't give out whole boxes of medicine.

One must know that there weren't many medicines available on the market these days.

Although the officials were urgently dealing with this situation, all plants and water had been polluted after the apocalypse.

To produce new medicines, obtaining medicinal herbs was the most difficult part.

And the medicines that could be obtained had already been taken by the superhuman teams and officials.

Some major city hospitals were indeed inaccessible.

So for Yu Qingxian to take out a whole box of fever-reducing medicine was undoubtedly like placing a pound of gold on someone's table in the pre-apocalyptic era.

The Man immediately took the medicine, then said, "Rest assured, I'll guarantee that I'll repair your phone and modify it to adapt to the current magnetic field, so it can last at least five to ten years."

Although Yu Qingxian didn't believe the Man's words, she didn't refute them either.

Seeing that Yu Qingxian didn't speak, the Man took her silence as consent.

He even offered her a stool to sit on.

Yu Qingxian sat down as well.

As for whether people around were looking at her, she didn't know.

This fisherman's hat was truly useful.

Not only could it shield the upper half of her face, but it could also block others' line of sight.

Yu Qingxian sat on the chair and took out a book from her luggage to read.

According to the owner, repairing the phone would take an hour or two.

As long as she sat down, she became inconspicuous instantly.

"I really don't know about you, the note was properly tucked in your pocket, yet it fell out."

"How would I know? It's indeed my fault, otherwise we wouldn't have been delayed for these few days." Another voice immediately responded with a hint of apology.

Because they were delayed for a few days, the good stuff had already been bought.

But fortunately, these items weren't one-time deals, and there would be more coming later.

They had already pre-ordered for the next batch, so there wasn't too much loss.

The two spoke as they exited this underground black market.

Their voices weren't loud, but Yu Qingxian's ears were sharp enough to pick them up.

Moreover, their scent was indeed the same as the one she had smelled a few days ago.

Enough to confirm that the note in her pocket was dropped by these two people.

But Yu Qingxian still kept her head lowered, unwilling to even glance at the two.

She had picked up the note, but she definitely wouldn't return it.

She hadn't heard anything, nor did she know anything.

After the two left, she continued reading with her head lowered.

Almost two hours later, the repair shop owner finally spoke up, "Your phone has been repaired. Although the appearance has changed, the content inside remains the same, and the RAM and ROM have been greatly expanded, so you won't have to worry about running out of memory for at least three to five years."

Listening to the owner's words, Yu Qingxian reached out and took her phone back.

She was wearing sunscreen gloves on her hands.

So her skin color couldn't be seen.

Yu Qingxian turned on her phone and checked her chat history with her parents, as well as various photos, and indeed, nothing was missing.

Of course, repairing phones wasn't anything special for this owner.

Previously, when he was at the Base, he often encountered people who wanted to repair their phones.

Like their parents, loved ones, and children, who had all perished in this disaster.

So being able to turn their phones back on was undoubtedly an important matter.

After confirming that her phone had only changed its appearance but its contents remained intact, Yu Qingxian nodded at the owner, put the book back into her luggage, and placed her tablet and phone into her backpack.

She didn't linger in this place for long and turned to leave the underground black market.

However, that owner waved at Yu Qingxian's back, "Next time you want to repair anything, remember to come find me!"

Yu Qingxian thought for a moment, turned back, and walked over to the owner, using her tablet to type a message for him to see.

Upon seeing that Yu Qingxian wanted the locations of the few major Bases constructed by the officials, the owner took out a map and gave it to her.

"I'll give you this map for free. It has information on the official Bases. Each Base is recruiting powerhouses, and I think you're quite capable. Whichever Base you go to, they'll be glad to have you." The owner explained on his own.

Yu Qingxian took the map and found that it was more like an electronic screen.

It seemed that technology had advanced to this level in just three months after the apocalypse.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian took out another box of anti-inflammatory medicine and placed it on the counter, then turned and left.

No matter how the owner called after her, she pretended not to hear.

This successful disguise let Yu Qingxian breathe a sigh of relief.

But it didn't mean that if she succeeded this time, she would succeed the next time too.

Yu Qingxian had a feeling that her success this time had already used up a lifetime's worth of luck.

Yu Qingxian sat on her luggage and headed north.

By now, she had confirmed the locations of the official Bases, and this map had indeed made things much more convenient for her.

At least she wouldn't be completely in the dark.

Yu Qingxian put the map into her backpack and opened her phone.

It was filled with messages and various photos sent by her parents, who really enjoyed traveling.

Of course, it was because she disliked going out, so they would go traveling and take all kinds of scenery photos to show her.

Looking at the photos of her parents, Yu Qingxian was stunned.

Her parents had indeed shown her scenery photos from many places.

But at that time, she had never actually looked at the scenery photos taken by her parents, and her attention was mostly focused on her parents themselves. She rarely actively asked them what they had seen that day.

Yu Qingxian looked at the last photo sent by her parents, which was taken in the early hours of the day they got into a car accident.

They had sent her a message saying they were going to watch the country's earliest sunrise.

After that, there were no more messages.

She didn't even receive a call at the first opportunity that day.

Yu Qingxian was someone who wouldn't answer anyone's calls except her parents'.

In fact, most of the time, her parents wouldn't call her either, knowing that she wouldn't pick up.

So it wasn't until the police came to her door that she learned of her parents' passing.

At that time, there were several missed calls on her phone from unknown numbers.

But for some reason, when she learned of her parents' death, she didn't feel much sadness.

She even felt a sense of relief.

After all, her reason for living was solely because of her loving parents.

She had loving parents, and her family conditions were decent.

But for some reason, she still fell ill.

Yu Qingxian didn't have any unpleasant past or dark memories.

But she simply didn't want to live anymore.
