Yu Qingxian naturally wouldn't eat it.
"No, thank you, you eat it yourself." Yu Qingxian let go, and the suitcase fell to the ground.
After saying that, she turned and rode on her suitcase and walked away.
The female zombie didn't expect Yu Qingxian to refuse the crystal core she offered, so she wanted to catch up and stuff it into Yu Qingxian's mouth.
This startled Yu Qingxian.
Wait...
So even zombies give gifts to children in their world?
But this was too aggressive.
However, judging by her appearance, she seemed a little younger than Yu Qingxian, wearing sportswear and looking quite youthful. Although not as young as a high school student, the remnants of nail polish on her fingers suggested she was probably a college student.
Of course, she could also be a working adult wearing sportswear while exercising.
Advanced zombies' bodies would not retain any scars unless killed outright, as their healing abilities were strong.
One could say that the zombie virus was indeed an evolution for humans.
The female zombie was a bit surprised when Yu Qingxian said she wouldn't eat it.
If Yu Qingxian didn't want that advanced zombie's crystal core, why wouldn't she eat the one the female zombie got for her?
This was a gift from her.
For lower-level zombies to show submission or loyalty to higher-level ones, it was natural to offer them the best they had.
So the female zombie instantly realized that the crystal core must have been a tribute to the zombie in front of her from another zombie.
But she thought the crystal core belonged to another zombie.
Perhaps this little zombie wasn't a fully intelligent one, and thus didn't know the crystal core was edible.
Of course, Yu Qingxian had no idea what the female zombie was thinking.
If she knew, she probably couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll be on my way." Yu Qingxian waved at the female zombie, who didn't say anything, and started her suitcase again to continue forward.
The female zombie saw this little zombie trying to run away again, so she chased after her.
She didn't understand why Yu Qingxian would ride something so slow.
And what was this thing Yu Qingxian was riding?
Yu Qingxian also didn't expect this zombie to be so fast.
Of course, judging from Shi Xingyu's speed, she knew advanced zombies must be faster than ordinary humans.
But she didn't expect it to be this fast.
"Since you have intelligence, that makes you an intelligent zombie. Shouldn't your speed be faster than this broken box?" The female zombie caught up to Yu Qingxian, only needing to walk briskly to keep pace.
Hearing this, Yu Qingxian looked at the female zombie with some confusion.
Broken box?
Did she know how expensive this suitcase was?
To call it a broken box!!!
Never mind, it was her mistake to lecture a zombie about human values.
"So you're very fast?" Yu Qingxian looked up at the female zombie beside her and couldn't help but ask.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Shi Xingyu and Xiao Ji were higher level zombies than this female zombie.
So wouldn't those two zombies be even faster?
Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian remembered that she had been running for over ten minutes, but Shi Xingyu and Xiao Ji still caught up with her.
It seemed their speed was indeed very fast.
"Of course, or else do you think why human vehicles are so heavily reinforced and armored?" The female zombie spoke and effortlessly flipped over a car beside them.
Shocking Yu Qingxian for an entire year.
So advanced zombies were this strong.
My apologies.
But it made sense - if humans had powerful individuals like Gu Wanxing, zombies couldn't be too weak or the power balance would be skewed.
In the apocalypse, no one could stand alone. It was a test of survival.
Only the victors could live.
The strong didn't necessarily win, but winners had to be strong.
In this survival test, Yu Qingxian was merely an observer, detached from both sides.
In fact, Yu Qingxian knew that if zombies found out she possessed human consciousness, they would surely eliminate her as an anomaly.
And if humans knew there was a zombie like her with human consciousness, they would unhesitatingly kill her too.
As a human, she could not integrate into the human world.
Yet as a zombie, she could not integrate into the zombie world either.
Yu Qingxian looked at the overturned car, then at the female zombie.
"Of course, that only applies to vehicles of this size. For larger ones that I can't flip, I would need to destroy their wheels to make the human vehicles lose control." The female zombie continued explaining to Yu Qingxian.
Hearing this, Yu Qingxian suddenly thought about the superhuman team's vehicles, which had special wheels.
So it wasn't just to prevent things like nails from puncturing them.
It was also because zombies knew destroying a vehicle's wheels could stop it.
Realizing this, Yu Qingxian finally understood that this female zombie was teaching her how to hunt humans?
Wasn't there supposed to be no mutual assistance among zombies?
Why was this female zombie teaching her how to hunt?
Yu Qingxian just nodded without saying anything.
The female zombie was quite considerate, directly pulling Yu Qingxian off the suitcase.
Yu Qingxian had to shut down her suitcase.
The female zombie dragged her in front of a car.
"Try pushing the car over," she said.
But this request made Yu Qingxian feel it was completely unrealistic.
A small car weighed at least a ton, and for her to flip one by herself was simply absurd.
But seeing the serious look on the female zombie's face, Yu Qingxian felt she couldn't avoid giving it a try.
So she went up to the car and used all her might, only managing to lift it off the ground by one wheel briefly before it fell back down.
Yu Qingxian didn't have enough strength to overpower the car.
The female zombie was surprised to see Yu Qingxian unable to flip over a car.
Yet she sensed an irresistible pressure emanating from this little zombie.
Zombies were unbound by morality but feared power.
This was why higher-level zombies could command lower ones.
Not because these zombies shared camaraderie.
But because their instincts compelled them to.
But if this little zombie was so weak, where did that overpowering pressure come from?
The female zombie stared at Yu Qingxian, yet saw no disappointment from the little zombie over her failure to flip the car.
"So you don't want to get stronger at all?" The female zombie asked Yu Qingxian in confusion.
Since this little zombie was a naturally advanced zombie, why not take advantage of that gift?
If she worked hard, couldn't she become an even more powerful zombie?
Of course, if this little zombie grew strong, the female zombie could only submit to her.
But she had no way to kill Yu Qingxian either.
If Yu Qingxian sensed a threat, that dreadful pressure would instantly overwhelm her.
Besides, her original goal was just to obtain the crystal core on this little zombie.
Since she couldn't get that core, she would have to find another way to increase her own strength.
Yu Qingxian was a bit surprised, as this wasn't the first time a zombie had said such things to her.
Shi Xingyu had said something similar.
She didn't understand, weren't zombies supposed to want to grow stronger?
Why did they expect this weak little zombie to become more powerful?
"No, I don't want to. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going." Yu Qingxian shook her head. She had no interest in becoming stronger.
Asking someone who didn't even care about living to become a more powerful zombie after turning, was like asking a first-grader to help a college student pass a civil service exam.
She didn't want to become the Zombie King ruling over all zombies, nor did she want to be the savior of humanity.
All she wanted now was to enjoy the scenery, and slowly rot away.
