Chapter 13

Yu Qingxian had originally planned to take a detour.

After all, within a radius of one hundred kilometers, there were signs of human activity everywhere.

Unlike the places she had passed through before, where there weren't many people.

Humans truly were indomitable.

Even in a place overrun by zombies, they could still carve out a place to live.

They were really resilient.

But while humans were strong, Yu Qingxian couldn't muster the same strength.

There were always convoys passing by outside, making it impossible for Yu Qingxian to leave.

As for those mindless zombies, they strutted along the main road.

Whenever a vehicle passed by, they would pounce, only to be sent flying or flattened into zombie pancakes.

Because the zombies in this area had been mostly cleared out by the official military and some superhuman teams over the past month.

Yu Qingxian could only retreat.

But she never expected that by doing so, she would witness a scene of zombies devouring people.

---

Yu Qingxian retreated more than ten kilometers.

And the official safe zone was about twenty kilometers away.

For a car, it was only a journey of about fifteen minutes.

But even in those fifteen minutes, they might never make it.

Previously, Yu Qingxian had been wandering around.

She could see people and corpses.

But she had never witnessed zombies eating people with her own eyes.

So when she saw a small sedan surrounded by a dozen zombies, with a mother and daughter inside while a man wielded a steel pipe, continuously striking the zombies.

The car seemed to have broken down or run out of gas.

In any case, a family of three was surrounded by these zombies.

The man was just an ordinary person, wearing glasses, probably used to working in an office.

His blows with the steel pipe had no effect on the zombies whatsoever.

For ordinary people, getting hold of a gun was extremely difficult.

Unless they reached a base and formed a task force, they might be able to borrow a gun from the authorities.

Yu Qingxian watched as the man was bitten on the arm and thigh by the zombies, but he still held onto the car door tightly, not letting the woman and child inside the car get out.

Until the man was overwhelmed by the zombies, lost his breath, and his flesh lost its warmth, only then did the zombies move away from him.

Then they started climbing onto the car.

These zombies were quite strong.

The car window cracked after just a few strikes.

After all, it wasn't bulletproof glass, so it was easy to break.

If the car window really broke, then the mother and daughter inside the car would definitely perish in the mouths of the zombies.

She felt a bit embarrassed after scolding them just now.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter, though scared and grieving, understood the situation.

"May we bury my husband? Then we'll go with you," the woman asked.

She also realized at this point that the zombie wasn't going to harm them.

Yu Qingxian didn't look at their expressions, but she understood the pain of losing loved ones.

But no matter how painful, she had survived.

Of course, she wasn't exactly alive now.

But she still hoped those who wanted to live would live well.

So, Yu Qingxian agreed to it.

She even helped the mother and daughter dig a hole together and buried the man's remains.

Yu Qingxian felt that despite encountering caravans all along, it had been almost two hours, and no caravans had passed by.

Was she really going to escort this mother and daughter to the safe zone?

But they weren't a problem; they were just scared and didn't resist or try to harm her.

Yu Qingxian dug the hole with her head down, and the eight-year-old girl beside her was puzzled.

Why would a zombie save their lives?

And why was a zombie so adept at digging holes?

Her movements weren't stiff like those of other zombies; instead, they were almost human.

But the little girl couldn't understand a word she said.

"Is sister a zombie?" The little girl asked boldly.

The woman beside her looked at Yu Qingxian when her daughter asked this question.

Indeed, she was a zombie. It was evident from her skin color and eyes that she was a zombie.

But zombies only eat people; they've never been known to save them.

Yu Qingxian didn't answer the little girl.

Instead, she pointed to the man's body in the pit, prompting the mother and daughter to say something.

She was about to start burying the body herself.

And it was already afternoon.

If they delayed any longer, more zombies would come.

Whether she could stop those zombies then was uncertain.

The little girl seemed to understand Yu Qingxian's actions and immediately pulled her mother to pay respects to her father.

The woman's complexion wasn't great.

But she couldn't die with her husband.

Because their daughter was still young.

Even if she loved her husband dearly, wishing to die with him.

They still had another daughter, as parents, they couldn't be so selfish.

After all, she was only eight years old, not eighteen.
