Chapter 1592: Chapter 1586: The Failed Graveyard Plan

Below is the translation of the provided text:

She completely forgot she was currently in a city called Cloud Gorge Base, as if she was right where the video creator had been, only borrowing his eyes to see all that he had seen.

However, she didn’t lose herself entirely in the experience. She maintained a certain clarity, understanding that true perfection couldn’t exist in this world. Beneath this dreamlike and wondrous sky, the things that existed were unlikely to perfectly match its beauty—otherwise, the creator wouldn’t have focused solely on filming the sky.

Scrolling through the comments, most of them praised the breathtaking content of the video. The top-rated comment, however, suggested a version with added background music. Su Sigui clicked on it instinctively. The ethereal prelude fused seamlessly with the imagery of the sky in the video—it was mesmerizing. Su Sigui vaguely recognized the melody. It was an instrumental piece she had heard before the Apocalypse, perhaps called "Burial of Flowers?"

Soon, she broke free from the video’s enchantment and redirected her gaze to the panoramic view of Cloud Gorge Base below. No matter how beautiful a dream could be, one always had to face reality when the dream ended.

The phone’s loudspeaker continued playing music as Su Sigui murmured while looking at the city below: "Red Feather Bird..."

Her mind wandered back to earlier details. Su Sigui clicked on the video uploader’s profile to check their basic information. Fortunately, the user hadn’t disabled the app’s location feature. The profile indicated the uploader was in Dangerous Sanctuary City.

Tapping lightly on the railing, Su Sigui turned and walked away into the distance. Again, she didn’t head back to her residence but instead moved toward the direction of the Yunsheng Elevator.

The night always seemed to pass quickly, though this was only true for those who were already asleep.

The next morning, Ghost Head woke up leisurely. Glancing at the nearby campfire, he saw that the flames had already burned out after the night had passed. Beside it lay his companions. Nothing unusual seemed to have occurred. He stood up, and the others gradually woke up as well. Realizing there were no immediate threats after surveying their surroundings, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ghost Head, when did you wake up?"

"Just now."

"Oh."

Ghost Head walked toward the window, lifting a piece of metal they had fixed to the window frame the day before to check the view outside. He saw no zombies. The vegetation near the gas station was lush, and scattered among it were the severely decayed bodies of zombies.

The absence of new zombies meant choosing this spot to spend the night was correct.

Closing the metal sheet, Ghost Head returned to where he had slept to put on his clothes. As he scanned the group, he suddenly realized they seemed to be missing someone.

"Hey, where’s that person?"

"Who... Yong?"

"Yong’s not here?"

"Where’d he go?"

The group froze for a moment, quickly looking around, only to find that the original six people had become five.

"Let’s go look for him," Ghost Head said and immediately ran outside. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yong sitting at the entrance. Yong looked up at him as soon as he came out.

"Whoa, you scared me!" Ghost Head exclaimed as he jumped slightly, though he relaxed upon confirming it was Yong.

"Why are you sitting here? When did you wake up?" Ghost Head asked. The others also came outside and stared at Yong in confusion.

Yong’s gaze swept across their faces. His expression was as blank as it had been yesterday—devoid of emotion and any semblance of feeling.

After a while, he finally responded in a slow voice: "I... couldn’t sleep..."

"Huh?" The group exchanged glances before Brother Shi asked, "You mean you didn’t sleep the entire night?"

"I... think so?" Yong hesitated. Judging by his demeanor, he didn’t seem certain whether he had slept or not. But the group didn’t spend too much time dwelling on this oddity; Yong clearly wasn’t normal, and perhaps they shouldn’t expect a normal person’s behavior from him.

"Let’s pack up. Time to head out," Brother Shi said to Yong. Yong didn’t respond, but stood and walked back into the room. Meanwhile, Brother Shi pulled out his phone, checked the navigation, and pointed toward the highway’s direction, saying, "We’ve still got about twenty-three or twenty-four kilometers until Changxin Town. Once we’re there, stay alert—we might encounter a zombie horde."

"Alright, let’s go."

"Everyone, be careful on the road. Don’t wander off."

"Got it, got it."

The group gathered their belongings and began heading in the direction Brother Shi had pointed. During the journey, Brother Shi opened the app he had used yesterday. As soon as he clicked on it, he was stunned—the video he uploaded last night had earned over 700,000 likes overnight!

"Holy crap!" he exclaimed. The others thought Brother Shi had discovered something shocking and quickly crowded around. But upon realizing he was merely surprised by the success of his video, they froze for a moment—it wasn’t common to see this many likes.

Brother Shi compared this video to his previous uploads. The difference was staggering. Aside from this one, his highest-liked post had only garnered about 1,200 likes.

Unable to resist, Brother Shi admired his work again. Beyond the likes, the views had exceeded two million. During the previous night, countless people must have seen this video and, for a moment, shared his feelings. This filled Brother Shi with a sense of accomplishment—he had shown people that amidst the brutal Apocalypse, such beauty still existed.

Brother Shi continued to appreciate the video as he walked until, eventually, he shook his head. Just as he was about to close the app, a pinned video on the homepage caught his attention. Initially, he didn’t notice it, but when the screen prompted him with a "Press again to exit" message, the title drew his focus.

[At 2:22 AM today, Dangerous Sanctuary City announced the failure of the "Cemetery Plan"!]

"Cemetery Plan?" he murmured under his breath, moving his finger away from the exit button and clicking on the video. The opening scene showed a familiar aerial view.

It was the center of a city. Where a cluster of buildings had originally stood, the area had been completely flattened. Humans had constructed enormous "dikes" to enclose a vast region. High atop the towering walls stood laser turret cannons, many of which were smeared with fresh blood and fragments of flesh. Inside the "dike," countless zombie corpses covered the ground entirely, leaving no visible surface. In some areas, raging fires continued to burn.

This... this was the place they had fled from yesterday.
