The Diary of a Female Zombie’s Hiking Adventure

Chapter 97

"I understand, thank you." Shi Xingtian took a deep breath before turning to Yu Qingxian.

Clearly, she did not bring her personal emotions into the conversation with others.

This surprised Yu Qingxian somewhat.

She had expected Shi Xingtian to interrogate her about whether she had killed Shi Xingyu.

But Shi Xingtian did not. She suppressed her emotions and simply thanked Yu Qingxian.

Yu Qingxian moved her lips but could not say any comforting words.

She could not tell Shi Xingtian that Shi Xingyu had become a Zombie King.

Although she and Shi Xingyu seemed to have a good relationship.

But it was limited to her being a zombie as well.

If she truly brought Shi Xingtian before Shi Xingyu,

He could probably devour his sister within a few hundred meters of Yu Qingxian leaving.

So Yu Qingxian would not let that happen.

Hearing Yu Qingxian's hoarse voice, Shi Xingtian asked if she needed water.

Yu Qingxian did not respond, only waving her hand and beckoning the T-Rex inside.

She nodded to Shi Xingtian, then turned and entered the small house.

Seeing that Yu Qingxian no longer spoke, Shi Xingtian said nothing more.

After watching the door close, she headed towards the shelter above.

As soon as she entered the door, someone approached her.

"Sister Shi, what's wrong?" The young man seemed to hold Shi Xingtian in high regard.

Hence, he immediately came over when she returned.

She had saved his life, so he naturally treated Shi Xingtian like his own sister.

But he knew that Sister Shi had been waiting for her brother all along.

Otherwise, with her abilities, she would have gone to the Official Base.

Especially since Sister Shi's abilities were quite special.

It was precisely because of Sister Shi that they could take resources from the city and survive here for nearly a year.

Shi Xingtian smiled faintly, then said, "It's nothing. I'll rest in my room for a while. Keep watch, but we shouldn't be attacked tonight. Let everyone relax and rest well."

Though surprised by Shi Xingtian's words, the young man relayed them.

For nearly a year, they had not had a single day to relax, so being able to relax today seemed unbelievable.

But since it was Sister Shi's words, there was no problem.

Shi Xingtian returned to her room.

Her living quarters were at the highest point of this cluster of houses.

Also the place with the best view.

After all, she was responsible for the safety of this shelter.

For so long, she had never made a single mistake.

But as Shi Xingtian looked at her brother's student ID, her eyes reddened.

She rubbed her eyes, not letting the tears fall.

Even though she had protected so many people, she still failed to protect her own brother.

For a moment, Shi Xingtian felt that all her efforts seemed in vain.

Many scenes flashed through her mind.

Although her brother was over ten years younger than her,

In Shi Xingtian's heart, he was her redemption.

When she failed her college entrance exam, her three-year-old brother uttered his first words ever:

'Sister, don't cry.'

Though meant to comfort her, she cried even harder at the time.

After that, Shi Xingtian decided to raise her brother herself.

Their parents were busy then and had no time for them, though they often apologized to her.

But she did not need their apologies, for she loved her brother dearly.

Her brother disliked talking to others and often played alone.

Yet every day, he would wait at the door of their rented apartment for her return from school.

Asking, "Sister, are you tired?"

Then he would always give her his most prized possession.

As she watched the little boy grow taller, the child who refused to interact with the whole world except his sister.

He was already dead.

Shi Xingtian did not want to dwell on the past anymore. In fact, she had envisioned this a million times before, only lacking concrete evidence until now.

Now that she had the answer, there was no need to cling to the past.

Shi Xingtian sat in the room lost in thought for a while before standing up, wiping her brother's student ID clean with a towel and placing it with his photo.

The photo showed a pair of siblings who resembled each other, the taller brother leaning his head dependently on his sister's shoulder, giving the camera a shy smile.

Looking at the photo, Shi Xingtian finally could not hold back her tears.

When Yu Qingxian was preparing to leave the next morning, Shi Xingtian came again.

She did not ask Yu Qingxian about Shi Xingyu.

Instead, she told Yu Qingxian that going to the city alone was very dangerous, with many zombies and advanced zombies there.

As Yu Qingxian listened to Shi Xingtian's words, she finally could not help but speak up.

"It's okay, thank you." Yu Qingxian expressed her gratitude to Shi Xingtian.

Then she left for the city with the T-Rex.

Once in the city, she first had the T-Rex find a safe place to hide.

She then went to find generators that could produce electricity.

After finding a generator, she got some oil.

To charge her phone and camera.

Afterwards, she searched the entire city for something that could print photos from her phone and camera.

Finally, as night fell, she found a photo printer that could connect to her phone and camera.

Seeing the printer, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she worked through the night, finally getting the other cold-resistant camera turned on and connected to the photo printer.

She wanted to print photos of Shi Xingyu to give to Shi Xingtian.

Although he no longer remembered his human memories, he was doing well as a zombie.

And he could take care of himself.

As she printed the photos, she wondered if Shi Xingyu had initially followed her because he had a sister.

After all, even after turning into a zombie, some lingering attachments remained in his mind.

Especially when they had encountered others asking who she was, and Shi Xingyu could blurt out 'my sister', she should have realized then.

But at that time, she did not think too much of it.

Yu Qingxian opened her phone and printed a few photos of Shi Xingyu fighting with the T-Rex.

Although these photos could potentially expose her identity, Yu Qingxian would not stay in this place forever.

Even if the others realized something was amiss, they could not pursue her.

So when Shi Xingtian saw Yu Qingxian again, it was on the morning of the second day after Yu Qingxian's departure.

Before dawn, Shi Xingtian rose to patrol and spotted Yu Qingxian emerging from behind the buildings.

Her clothes had a layer of white frost, suggesting she had been waiting there for a while.

"This is for you." Just like handing over a student ID, Yu Qingxian handed Shi Xingtian an envelope.

Before Shi Xingtian could say anything more, Yu Qingxian had already turned and ran off.

Shi Xingtian looked at the thick envelope in her hand, likely containing photos or something similar.

She put the envelope in her pocket, checked the surroundings to ensure no zombies or zombie animals were present, then returned.

Once back in her room, she took off her hat and scarf, sat by the fireplace, and finally opened the envelope.

There was a sheet of paper attached to the back of the envelope.

It had printed text, not handwritten.

When she saw the text, Shi Xingtian was initially stunned, then smiled.

How nice, that even though her brother had become a zombie, he had met a kind person.
