The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure

Chapter 124

Yu Qingxian had no objection to undergoing surgery herself.

As for whether the wound would heal or not, Yu Qingxian wasn't too concerned about it.

After becoming a zombie, she didn't care much about her appearance anymore.

As long as she looked decent overall, it was fine.

Although she didn't mind it, she was still a little afraid when lying on the operating table.

Due to Yu Qingxian's special condition, it wasn't just Liu Si performing the surgery.

So Yu Qingxian wore an eye mask and headphones.

The songs were her own choice.

Mainly, listening to her favorite songs allowed her to relax.

Although Yu Qingxian wondered what if she fell asleep on the operating table?

But when she actually did fall asleep on the operating table, she had no recollection of how she got off it.

In any case, when she woke up, she saw Gu Wanqing and Liu Si in her room.

This surprised her a bit.

Gu Wanqing and Liu Si were indeed startled that Yu Qingxian made no sound and couldn't be woken up.

They found Shi Xingyu, who wasn't worried and just said with a glance that Yu Qingxian was asleep.

And the fact that zombies could sleep was indeed shocking to humans.

When humans sleep, their breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature can be used to determine if they're still alive.

But Yu Qingxian didn't have any of those signs.

As long as she didn't move, she looked just like a corpse.

This was also why when Yu Qingxian first met Gu Wanqing, she was able to trick her just by lying on the ground.

Even though Shi Xingyu said Yu Qingxian was just asleep, based on their understanding of zombies, Gu Wanqing and the others were still uncertain.

Until they saw Yu Qingxian sit up from the bed, Gu Wanqing and Liu Si were indeed stunned.

Turns out Yu Qingxian could really sleep.

When Yu Qingxian woke up and saw the two people sitting in her room, she was startled for a moment.

Just that slight shudder from Yu Qingxian made the two people in the room tense up.

"Sorry, we were just worried that you wouldn't wake up," said Gu Wanqing, not intending to scare Yu Qingxian by sitting in her room.

Yu Qingxian glanced at them but didn't say a word.

Seeing Yu Qingxian remain silent, Gu Wanqing left her room with Liu Si.

As Yu Qingxian watched them shut the door behind them, she threw off the covers and pulled up the nightgown someone had changed her into.

Abruptly pulling open the nightgown, she didn't see the wound on her stomach.

This left Yu Qingxian shocked.

No, before she fell asleep, she could feel someone prodding around inside her stomach.

How was there not even a wound now?

Had human medical skills advanced to this level?

Yu Qingxian was stunned for a moment before realizing that the person who performed her surgery must have had healing abilities.

After all, she couldn't heal rapidly like Shi Xingyu.

She didn't know how many more surgeries she would need, but she went to see Shi Xingyu anyway.

At that moment, Shi Xingyu was just sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

Now, he didn't have to worry about food or being harassed by other zombies.

If it were an ordinary zombie confined to a place, they would probably be very agitated.

But Shi Xingyu didn't feel that way.

His muscle memory made him accustomed to being in small rooms like this.

It was just that as a zombie, he had nothing to do if he didn't search for food.

Plus, his nominal sister would come give him sedative-like drugs every few days.

But Shi Xingyu didn't think the drugs were what kept him calm.

It was this human talking to him that calmed him down.

He heard the door open and turned to see Yu Qingxian entering with a slouch.

When Yu Qingxian saw Shi Xingyu looking at her, she grinned sheepishly.

"I came to see you," Yu Qingxian explained.

"You come every day," Shi Xingyu said, not seeing anything interesting about himself.

Yu Qingxian didn't take offense and circled around Shi Xingyu before saying, "If you're bored, you can try learning human knowledge. You're so smart, after all."

Shi Xingyu hadn't thought Yu Qingxian would advise him to learn human knowledge.

He was about to ask why he should learn it, but then realized learning human knowledge wouldn't be bad. That way, he wouldn't be bored.

Afterward, whenever Yu Qingxian had time, she would go teach Shi Xingyu how to recognize characters. Of course, for writing, Yu Qingxian couldn't help, so she had to have him find his sister.

After that, Yu Qingxian rarely went to see Shi Xingyu.

Her surgeries were every five or six days.

Sometimes, Gu Wanqing would take her out for a walk.

Of course, only to deserted places.

But most of the time, Yu Qingxian stayed in her room alone.

About half a year later, Gu Wanqing came into the room with a delighted expression, seeming to indicate they had made significant progress in their experiment.

Indeed, they had made great progress.

During this period, they had been conducting experiments.

That is, after diluting Yu Qingxian's blood plasma and adding to it the processed components from Shi Xingtian and Wen Qingsheng, they had produced the first batch of vaccines.

However, this vaccine could only be used on people who had been injured by zombies for the time being.

It didn't have much effect on those who had already turned into zombies.

Previously, the chances of surviving a zombie attack were one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand.

But now, because of this drug, the odds had improved to one in ten.

Although the chances were still slim, this was already a huge leap forward.

They believed it wouldn't be long before a zombie vaccine could be mass-produced.

It was only a matter of time.

Listening to Gu Wanqing's excited words, Yu Qingxian didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She truly hadn't expected that the blood in her body could be used to make vaccines.

Thinking about it, she felt a sense of joy.

"If it's useful, then that's great," Yu Qingxian said.

Seeing Yu Qingxian's response, Gu Wanqing reached out and took her hand. "We think zombies' lifespans have surpassed human imagination, but I'm not sure how long zombies can live. However, I want to ask you for a favor."

After saying this, she looked at Yu Qingxian with a serious gaze.

Yu Qingxian looked at Gu Wanqing with some confusion.

The task she had agreed to was already done – she had agreed to join the base and contribute because of the application she had signed before her death.

So originally, she had intended to have Gu Wanqing burn her body and place her ashes in an urn to be buried amidst beautiful flowers.

But she hadn't expected someone to ask her for a favor.

Yu Qingxian didn't respond, and Gu Wanqing knew it was unreasonable to make such a request.

But she knew that now she could only rely on Yu Qingxian.

"I don't know what you want to ask me to do, but I want you to respect my wish that, even though I may now be a corpse, my dream is to travel and then find a place to bury myself. I've already done an amazing job to reach this point."

Yu Qingxian interrupted Gu Wanqing before she could finish speaking.

What if Gu Wanqing asked her to live on for decades or even hundreds of years?

She would be exhausted to death.

What if zombies could live on forever?

She couldn't possibly be asked to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, could she?

She was already thirty years old. Couldn't she be a little selfish?

Seeing Yu Qingxian's reaction, Gu Wanqing didn't force her and simply left.

After Gu Wanqing left, Yu Qingxian stood up, walked to the door, opened the crack, and watched Gu Wanqing's retreating figure.

She didn't know how to express herself, but she had truly done her best.
