Chapter 78

Around 4 pm, as the day grew late, the ten-meter-wide floodwater ahead was completely frozen by the cold air.

Although the flow rate had slowed down considerably, it was still rumbling.

When frozen, it looked like a brownish-yellow path with many small bumps on it, as if a jelly had flowed down from the mountain.

However, Yu Qingxian knew this was a good opportunity for her to get across.

She immediately picked up her camera, grabbed her luggage, and walked towards the opposite side of the river.

But when crossing the small bridge, Yu Qingxian still threw a stone over first.

The stone hit the ice and caused 'sugar crumbs', before sliding a long distance.

It seemed the ice was quite solid.

Yu Qingxian first sent her luggage to the other side, then embraced her camera and photographed from top to bottom.

The trees where the flood had gushed were all knocked down.

The destructive force of this flood was extremely powerful.

Looking further down, everything was in plain sight.

This flood was like a ruffian, not following the original stream, but charging straight through.

It had demolished a large patch of forest.

From this vantage point, one could see the vast expanse.

However, this was no longer a vast expanse, but rather an enormous ice surface.

After taking the photos, Yu Qingxian closed her camera and crossed over the ice.

Tyrannosaurus also came over, but Yu Qingxian noticed that its fur was also frozen.

Even as a mutated supernatural dog, its wet fur could not produce warmth at this time.

Yu Qingxian reached out and patted its head.

Hard as a rock.

If they didn't get warm soon, Tyrannosaurus would likely freeze to death.

Yu Qingxian took out a map and saw that there was a town at the foot of the mountain about ten kilometers ahead.

She didn't waste any more time, immediately pulling her luggage and taking Tyrannosaurus towards that direction.

Tyrannosaurus needed warmth and food.

This was the fastest she had run, apart from fleeing for her life.

When they reached the town, Yu Qingxian did not smell any scent of living creatures, which relieved her somewhat.

But there were quite a few zombies in the town.

After all, this was a small tourist town, so naturally there were many visitors.

Yu Qingxian found a house that seemed to have good insulation and let Tyrannosaurus inside.

She went to find a lighter and an axe.

More than ten minutes later, when Yu Qingxian returned, she found Tyrannosaurus shivering and huddled against the sofa.

Then it pushed Yu Qingxian towards the fire.

It sat next to Yu Qingxian and started eating the dog food bags it had torn open.

Seemed like it was really hungry.

Yu Qingxian stood by the fire like a sculpture.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Yu Qingxian could finally move, and she plopped down.

And the dog food she had brought back had already been eaten by Tyrannosaurus, two bags gone.

Yu Qingxian also moved her suitcase to the edge of the fire, not wanting her precious belongings to freeze in such cold weather.

Even without checking the temperature on her phone, she knew it must be dozens of degrees below zero now.

She walked to the window and looked outside, finding that the zombies at the entrance had also been frozen in place.

Who knows what kind of formidable zombies would evolve during this period.

As for the trip to Autumn Color Lake in September, Yu Qingxian definitely wouldn't be able to make it smoothly now.

After all, it was nearly five thousand kilometers from here to Autumn Color Lake.

And now, it was almost mid-July.

With nothing to do, Yu Qingxian chopped up and brought down all the burnable items from upstairs to prevent the fire from going out.

She felt fine herself, but Tyrannosaurus couldn't stray too far from the fire.

So she had to do this kind of work.

She then went through people's wardrobes and brought down several quilts for Tyrannosaurus.

After that, she put on a padded jacket for herself and wore padded shoes.

Fortunately, this place had very cold winters before the apocalypse, so all kinds of warm clothing were available.

She even found some insulating tin foil.

Although she didn't know if it would work on her corpse body, Yu Qingxian still wrapped herself in it before putting on the thick clothes and shoes to go out.

This time, she planned to use a trailer to bring more dog food and edible items for Tyrannosaurus.

She didn't want to run out every day and freeze into an ice pop.

Perhaps because she had taken ample precautions this time, she didn't have the sensation of freezing into an ice pop like before.

This made Yu Qingxian very happy, very good.

She made a few more trips, clearing out everything from that supermarket, and also took quite a bit of water.

Tyrannosaurus still needed to drink water.

She also checked if there were any other supermarkets in the small town.

But just as she was about to go look at other supermarkets, something suddenly crashed down in front of Yu Qingxian.

It directly smashed the houses in front, scattering dust everywhere.

Yu Qingxian saw a nearly two-meter-tall figure in the dust.

No scent.

A zombie!
