ALL NOVEL
Chapter 53
Yu Qingxian learned from Shi Xingyu that she didn't have a Crystal Core in her head, so she was no longer worried that other zombies would target her.
But at this moment, Yu Qingxian was still a little nervous.
She didn't have a Crystal Core in her head, but there was one in her backpack.
It was even a level 3 zombie's Crystal Core.
Could this high-level zombie be after the Crystal Core in her backpack?
But that Crystal Core wasn't hers.
She still had to return it to Shi Xingyu.
Anyway, she should try communicating first.
"Um, excuse me, can you understand what I'm saying?" Yu Qingxian opened her mouth and greeted proactively.
Yu Qingxian felt that she had truly taken a big step forward in socializing.
She was so brave.
When that female zombie heard Yu Qingxian's words, she took a step forward, causing Yu Qingxian to retreat three steps in surprise.
It was very clear that this zombie understood her.
For a low-level zombie to be able to communicate with a high-level zombie, this female zombie was indeed intrigued by Yu Qingxian.
Although this female zombie initially came for the Crystal Core that the little zombie was carrying on her back.
Of course, as to why a low-level zombie would be carrying a Crystal Core in her backpack, that wasn't important to this female zombie.
She just wanted to get that Crystal Core.
But she never expected that this little zombie would be able to communicate with her.
Well, she was one of the savage zombies evolving towards intelligence.
She had indeed sacrificed some combat ability.
But in this world, simply increasing combat power without using her brain wouldn't allow her to survive.
At least she had witnessed a zombie of a higher level than herself being killed by humans.
And it was then that she began to evolve.
Therefore, she realized that no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't defeat humans without a brain.
So she chose to give up some combat ability and evolve towards becoming an intelligent zombie.
Of course, evolving into an intelligent zombie was also a very difficult thing.
That meant being able to think while still a low-level zombie.
That way, she could gradually evolve into an intelligent zombie.
Of course, this female zombie was not yet able to think too deeply at this point.
For example, why this low-level zombie could suddenly talk to her.
So she directly said, "I want the Crystal Core in your backpack."
Yu Qingxian didn't expect such a direct zombie either.
Even that Xiao Ji, who seemed very direct for a zombie, would at least probe a little first.
This zombie, on the other hand, simply opened her mouth and demanded it.
However, this made Yu Qingxian feel that this zombie was quite easy to talk to due to her directness.
But...
"Sorry, I can't give you this Crystal Core, it belongs to another zombie," Yu Qingxian replied.
Their forte was sincerity.
"Is that so? My apologies then," the female zombie said.
The two zombies stood facing each other across the street.
Strangely, Yu Qingxian didn't feel any awkwardness.
If the one facing her was a living person, Yu Qingxian might have felt very awkward.
"I'm going to rob you," the female zombie spoke.
She could sense that the Crystal Core Yu Qingxian was carrying was very special, and its energy was much stronger than ordinary Crystal Cores.
Since she wouldn't give it to her when asked, then she would have to take it by force.
Yu Qingxian didn't expect this zombie to be so direct either.
Although she had intelligence to communicate, she didn't think like Shi Xingyu or Xiao Ji, who were more inclined towards human thinking.
How to put it? Even though this zombie had intelligence, she still leaned towards the idea of "might makes right."
In other words, if she wanted something, she would use her strength to take it by force.
Yu Qingxian put her hand on her backpack, wondering how long she could last if she really fought this zombie.
She stared at the female zombie, unmoving and without saying a word.
If possible, she didn't want to get into conflicts with zombies or humans.
Whether as a human or a zombie, she wanted to be a kind person or zombie, just like her parents.
People always said that her parents were a gentle couple whenever they were mentioned.
Of course, she did things without expecting anything in return, she just wanted to do them.
However, she couldn't give this Crystal Core to this zombie.
The female zombie did indeed intend to rob her, as there was no concept of protecting other zombies in the zombie world.
After all, only by becoming stronger could one survive in this world.
How could she allow prey to become stronger than herself?
But when stared at by this little zombie, the female zombie felt hesitant.
It was as if this little zombie wasn't an ordinary zombie, but a powerful one that made her unable to have any thought of resistance.
She even wanted to turn and run.
Yet she could see the wariness emanating from this zombie.
These two strange auras somehow coexisted in this one zombie.
The female zombie couldn't comprehend it at all.
She didn't understand why at all.
When Yu Qingxian saw the female zombie suddenly retreat two steps, she thought the other party was about to charge and beat her up.
Without a second thought, she grabbed her luggage and ran.
And that female zombie, not knowing why Yu Qingxian suddenly ran, thought she must have seen some danger, so she ran after Yu Qingxian as well.
But this action made Yu Qingxian think this zombie really wanted to rob her of that Crystal Core.
Should she just give it to her then?
She could apologize and make it up to Shi Xingyu later when she saw him. After all, she couldn't let herself get beaten up because of one Crystal Core.
The two zombies ran for ten minutes, one after the other, until Yu Qingxian finally couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "Do you really want this Crystal Core that much?"
The female zombie was also a bit surprised and couldn't help but ask back, "Wasn't there some danger?"
One sentence made Yu Qingxian stop immediately.
She turned to look at the female zombie and pointed at her, "You are the danger, you wanted to rob me, so I had to run."
The female zombie hadn't expected that the reason this little zombie ran was because she wanted to rob her Crystal Core.
But now she could confirm that if she really tried to take it by force, she definitely wouldn't succeed, so she gave up.
However, from this little zombie's words, she could tell that she didn't seem to be aware of her own abilities.
"I won't rob you, but won't you eat this Crystal Core?" the female zombie asked Yu Qingxian.
For zombies to become stronger, they naturally needed to eat humans or Crystal Cores.
Of course, if they could eat superhumans, that would be even better.
After all, zombies could also mutate and awaken their powers.
They were now considered higher beings.
"No, I won't eat it, it belongs to another zombie," Yu Qingxian shook her head.
Although she knew that if she ate this Crystal Core, it probably wouldn't break her teeth, but it was Shi Xingyu's property.
For her to eat it would be a complete waste.
She didn't want to become stronger or live forever.
But it was clear that the female zombie in front of her didn't understand this.
So why was this Crystal Core in the hands of this little zombie, and why wouldn't the little zombie eat it?
Moreover, there were no other relatively strong zombies around here.
"So why won't you eat it?" the female zombie couldn't help but ask again.
"Because it belongs to another zombie, so I can't eat it," Yu Qingxian didn't mind repeating her answer.
The female zombie tilted her head slightly, then walked over to another zombie nearby.
She skillfully lifted the zombie's skullcap and took out a Crystal Core from inside.
Then she walked over holding the Crystal Core.
"Eat, I'm giving this to you," the female zombie said.
Yu Qingxian looked at the Crystal Core covered in brain matter in her hand, then at this female zombie.
She felt like she was being treated as a little sister by the other.
Could it be that she wanted to take her under her wing?
