Chapter 80

Yu Qingxian and the Tyrannosaurus lingered in this small town for some time.

After consuming that Crystal Core, Yu Qingxian found that the Tyrannosaurus seemed to have grown even larger in size.

It must have leveled up.

She checked the time on her phone and saw that August was just around the corner.

Yu Qingxian could no longer wait.

After wandering aimlessly for the past few days, Yu Qingxian had adapted to the outside temperature.

So she packed her things and prepared to leave.

She was now fully armed, even packing several rolls of thermal insulation foil in her luggage.

Over the past two days, the Tyrannosaurus had also adapted to the low temperature.

Being a husky breed, it was quite cold-resistant.

The reason it had been frozen stiff before was that its fur had gotten wet, making it susceptible to losing body heat.

But now, with its fluffy appearance, it looked very warm.

Yu Qingxian pondered for a moment and decided to go out and see if the town had any sleds or small carts that she could hitch to the Tyrannosaurus.

That way, her journey could be faster.

Yu Qingxian wandered around the town with the Tyrannosaurus and found that this town actually had a sled ride activity.

But upon reflection, she felt it would be more suitable to have wheels when they reached other places.

After much thought, Yu Qingxian figured that sleds could still slide on the ground.

So she chose a beautiful sled to use.

However, the dogs used for pulling sleds weren't as big as the Tyrannosaurus, so Yu Qingxian had to assemble one herself.

It took her the entire morning to get it done.

This sled not only had space for passengers, but also a cargo rack at the back.

Of course, Yu Qingxian didn't hesitate to ransack all the dog food in the town and load it onto the cargo rack.

Then there was the water.

But the water had already frozen, so the Tyrannosaurus would have to eat it as ice cubes later.

After preparing these supplies, Yu Qingxian finally sat on the sled.

After more than ten minutes, Yu Qingxian was back on that highway.

With the Tyrannosaurus, her speed was much faster.

In just two days, Yu Qingxian's phone entered the signal range of the West Base.

Her phone kept beeping, and ignoring it was impossible.

So she had the Tyrannosaurus slow down, and then she took out her phone to look.

She found that the base had pushed several messages.

Yu Qingxian checked them one by one.

If the superhuman teams had been barred from leaving their bases half a month ago, then it was possible that a superhuman team that had left their base had killed this zombie.

But the authorities wouldn't need to release this message, since they should know which superhuman teams had left their bases.

But what if there were other superhumans who had directly taken over territories?

After all, in end-of-the-world stories, those who could become protagonists were definitely unwilling to be under someone else's control.

Yu Qingxian had already encountered so many protagonists in this apocalypse, so she felt it wouldn't be strange to encounter some more.

But the authorities might not necessarily know about such cases.

So would the authorities try to lock down her phone's signal during this period?

After all, her current phone was the one someone from the black market had helped her get.

She wasn't very clear about what kind of signal source it was using.

With tens of billions of people before, the authorities wouldn't bother to lock down such signal sources.

But now, with the unknown number of survivors left in the country, the authorities would definitely lock down signals wandering outside the bases.

Anyone brave enough to roam around during the apocalypse was likely someone the authorities wanted to recruit.

Yu Qingxian turned off the phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether they would or wouldn't, it was better to be cautious.

Just as she stuffed the phone back into her backpack, Yu Qingxian heard a sound like a train moving on rails.

This made her feel a bit puzzled.

Could it be her imagination?

But she definitely heard it.

The sound was still some distance away.

When the Tyrannosaurus pulled her onto a large bridge, she discovered that there were railway tracks underneath the bridge.

She looked up towards the source of the sound and saw an old, somewhat dilapidated green train.

This train was coal-powered.

Yu Qingxian had only heard about these antiques from her parents' conversations, but this was the first time she had actually seen one.

The old locomotive's front had been deformed from a collision, but reinforcements had been made to the rear.

The windshield was covered in a layer of frost, making it difficult to see the situation inside.

But since the train was moving, there must be people inside.

Actually, trains were quite suitable for the apocalypse.

After all, a train could be completely remodeled into a mobile house, much better than an RV.

Yu Qingxian watched as this train passed under the bridge.

She counted a total of eight carriages.

She just didn't know how many people were on the train.

She couldn't smell any scent, so the sealing on this train must have been done quite well.

It had probably been remodeled during this half-year period.
