The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure

Chapter 104

Yu Qingxian could understand the meaning represented by the language of this minority ethnic group.

It was entirely due to the novels she had read before.

Especially when she was in school, she was unusually obsessed with which day of the week it was.

That's why she remembered these pronouns.

But Mima's responses to her were few.

Clearly, in Yu Qingxian's eyes, Mima was an aloof zombie.

She must have been an aloof person in her previous life.

But people like Shi Xingyu who were not fond of talking would eventually become quite talkative.

So Yu Qingxian thought that if she spent more time with Mima, she too would have things to say.

After all, Mima was a local.

Even as a zombie, she was very familiar with this place.

Sometimes she would stop, and Yu Qingxian would follow suit and stop as well.

"That plant, which zombies and prey alike crave the most, is the king of this mountain." At that moment, they were on the halfway point of the mountain, but she pointed to a plant on the opposite mountain.

Yu Qingxian looked in the direction of her finger and indeed saw a huge tree.

This tree grew in a rather strange way.

The tall trunk appeared to be white in color, though this was not the most important part.

What was crucial was that beneath its canopy, there seemed to be a massive heart-like structure, even pulsating.

And the bark looked as if it had blood vessels.

The canopy resembled an umbrella, with a dozen or so ball-like objects hanging from underneath.

When Yu Qingxian saw that tree, she almost suspected that she had traveled to another planet.

Or that she had entered another world.

If an elf or goblin were to emerge from the bushes next, she wouldn't even be surprised.

Yu Qingxian immediately took out her phone and took a selfie with the tree.

To prove that she wasn't dreaming.

Only then did she take out her camera and photograph it.

She even wanted to photograph it from various angles.

Seeing Yu Qingxian about to approach, Mima immediately pulled her back: "Did you see those things hanging there? They're the animals and zombies it has preyed upon. I almost got killed by it. Going there is like walking to your death."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingxian didn't mind much.

Yet she didn't venture forward either.

In fact, getting killed didn't really matter to her.

But this phone and camera she carried were quite valuable.

However, Yu Qingxian didn't approach, but instead circled around the mountain.

As a result, the two zombies traveled tens or even hundreds of kilometers.

During this time, Mima also told Yu Qingxian about some dangerous plants.

In short, the plants in this place had turned into carnivorous plants.

Yu Qingxian looked at those plants, not recognizing any of them.

At that moment, Yu Qingxian really needed a botanist by her side to explain them to her.

Or for her phone to have internet access so she could use image recognition.

But obviously, Yu Qingxian's phone was already out of signal range and couldn't receive anything.

Still, she photographed these trees.

Until she came across a patch of beautiful pink flowers while crossing a small stream.

It was already quite strange for them to bloom in such cold weather.

But she still took photos of this patch of flowers from various angles, cradling her camera.

Mima didn't stop her, indicating that these little flowers, even if dangerous, were not enough to harm zombies or animals.

At most, they could prey on insects or the like.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian stood up, grabbed a worm from a tree as thick as her index finger, and placed it on that patch of pink flowers, immediately turning on the video recording function.

The worm wriggled for a few moments.

Then the center of the pink flower suddenly extended a slender tentacle, thin like a butterfly's proboscis.

This tentacle pierced right into the worm.

Where there was one, there was a second.

In an instant, the worm was riddled with these little flowers' mouthparts.

In less than ten seconds, only the worm's skin remained.

Indeed, these mutated plants were not entirely harmless.

On a whim, Yu Qingxian stuck her own finger out towards them.

But the little flowers showed no reaction.

Clearly, they were not interested in the undead.

Yu Qingxian withdrew her hand and picked up her camera.

She also learned that many plants, though turned carnivorous, were not interested in dead things.

Yu Qingxian took out her phone and took a selfie with this patch of flowers, even pulling Mima in for a group photo.

Mima didn't resist much, as if these higher-level intelligent zombies didn't mind being photographed.

As such, Yu Qingxian also took quite a few photos of Mima along the way.

Mima had no idea why Yu Qingxian could be so fearless.

Because many plants in this forest were quite dangerous.

She had never ventured further ahead.

But Yu Qingxian suddenly noticed a signpost.

Since there was a signpost, it meant there were trails on this mountain.

She led Mima up, and Mima didn't sense any danger, so she followed Yu Qingxian upwards.

When Mima followed Yu Qingxian onto a trail, she was a bit surprised.

Mima didn't know there were actually trails in these mountains.

Once on the trail, Yu Qingxian seemed much more at ease.

Instead, it was Mima being dragged around by her.

Following the trail, Yu Qingxian indeed circled around to the back of that tree.

As she stopped, she witnessed the tree's predation.

A reddish leaf-like object extended down from the canopy, and Yu Qingxian immediately opened her camera, zooming in to finally see what that leaf-like thing was.

That leaf-like object was actually a massive slab of flesh and blood, appearing marbled, even emitting a meaty aroma.

Yu Qingxian could smell it from several kilometers away.

And at this point, Mima was getting restless.

Even though she knew it was a trap, the scent of blood and flesh kept luring her.

Just as she was about to move, her wrist was grabbed.

Yu Qingxian took out a face mask from her backpack, folded it several times, even splashing some plant juices onto it, before putting it on Mima.

With the mask on, Mima indeed calmed down.

Her red eyes dimmed, no longer surging with such intense desire.

When Mima looked at Yu Qingxian, she found that Yu Qingxian had no cover, her eyes showing no desire either.

Her behavior was abnormal, abnormally unlike her own kind.

Seeing Mima calmed down, Yu Qingxian released her hand.

She didn't find Mima's gluttonous appearance odd at all.

Even Shi Laoniu sometimes drooled hungrily all over her face.

It's just that Shi Laoniu was better at restraining herself, more measured than Mima.

But these things were all imprinted in the brains of the living before they turned into zombies.

Everyone was different, so zombies were even more different.

Because zombies, in fact, were devoid of humanity.

Yu Qingxian only stared at Mima for a moment before averting her gaze.

This virus was truly a cruel thing.

Capable of turning a living, breathing person into a monster that only craved blood and flesh.

It's clear they didn't do anything wrong in life.

They just became monsters after being infected with the virus, and if seen by humans, they would be hunted down and exterminated.

Yu Qingxian continued taking photos with her camera, even though she was cursing at the heavens, there was no way to solve the current difficulty.

Since the zombies have lost their humanity and are no longer human, let them become extinct.

Let these former humans truly rest in peace.
