Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

He's afraid of the dark too? What a coincidence!

I'm a 24-year-old kid who's afraid of the dark, and you, a 40-something-year-old adult, are also afraid of the dark? Have you no shame?

"Let's go in and take a look."

After Shenhe finished speaking, he didn't move his feet. He simply stepped aside to let Sun Qi go first, as he didn't want to entrust his back to someone with a lot of ulterior motives.

"Um... Mr. Shen, can I wait for you outside? It's so creepy in here." Sun Qi shrank his neck and stood there nervously.

Shenhe turned to look at him, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Alright, then I won't force you. I can go in by myself."

Sun Qi looked helpless and sighed.

"Sigh! I'd better go in with Mr. Shen. In case of any danger, we can look after each other. I won't feel at ease leaving you outside alone."

After saying that, he steeled himself, raised his hands, and walked step by step into the entrance of the flower and bird market.

Shenhe followed behind him at a leisurely pace, his pistol always pointed at the back of Sun Qi's head.

"Mr. Shen, if anything unexpected happens later, please don't let your finger shake... Or you could put down the gun; we're your dearest friends and family!"

Sun Qi's voice was trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, Chairman Sun," Shenhe said calmly, "I don't have any bullets in my gun."

"Haha! Mr. Shen just loves to joke around. I enjoy being with optimistic people like you."

"I like it too."

The two walked one after the other towards the center of the flower market. The sky had completely darkened, and the clear moonlight poured down through the holes in the roof of the shed, casting pale streaks of light in the market.

The shops on both sides of the street were deserted, and shards of glass doors were scattered along the road.

The walls and doors were covered with blackened, dried bloodstains, and were densely covered with bloody handprints and claw marks left by zombies.

Flower pots by the roadside were overturned, with soil and dead branches mixed together.

In the corners of walls, at the entrances of shops, and beside collapsed shelves, lay skeletons, their flesh gnawed away.

Some skulls lay scattered among broken flowerpots, their empty eye sockets staring blankly at the sky; many more scattered limbs lay sprawled among the chaotic piles of goods.

The entire street was deathly still, littered with corpses, the ground was muddy, and the air was filled with a strong stench.

suddenly!

A rapid flapping sound of wings filled the air as it flew quickly toward the two of them.

"What is that?!"

Sun Qi appeared very panicked.

Shenhe's gaze sharpened as he clearly caught a yellowish-white afterimage swooping down from the rooftop.

The map shows white dots.

This put his mind at ease.

The shadow landed two meters in front of Shenhe River, stopping on an abandoned birdcage with several broken railings.

By the dim light, Shenhe could make out who it was, and the system panel in front of him popped up, displaying its detailed information.

It was a cockatiel. It had a head of pale yellow feathers, a small crest on its head that stood up high, two red blushes under its eyes that looked like blush on its cheeks, a snow-white belly, and bright yellow wings.

I must say, she is indeed beautiful.

At this moment, the little guy was tilting his head, his dark eyes warily scrutinizing Sun Qi in front of him, as if trying to confirm something.

"The bad guys are here again! The bad guys are here again!"

The cockatiel glanced at Sun Qi for two seconds, then immediately bristled and flew into a rage, speaking in human language! It spoke very clearly!

Its beautiful crest of feathers stood straight up, its two wings were fully spread, every feather on its body stood on end, and its eyes were filled with intense hostility.

Despite its petite size, it possessed tremendous explosive power, bursting out of the tattered birdcage and soaring into the sky.

After rising to a high place, its body suddenly turned downwards, transforming into a bright yellow lightning bolt, and swiftly swooped down!

With a whooshing sound, the sharp, hook-like bird claws slashed down fiercely towards Sun Qi's head.

This black phoenix is ​​extremely fast, and its overall attributes are even stronger than those of Sun Qi, who has eaten the mutated fruit.

Sun Qi glanced sideways at the cockatiel, instinctively shrinking back and trying to dodge to the side. But halfway through his movement, he suddenly paused, stopping his dodge, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream immediately rang out. Several deep cuts were slashed open on Sun Qi's head by sharp claws, and a burning pain exploded instantly, making him grimace in agony.

He gripped the machete tightly and swung it wildly. The cockatiel, small in size and agile in movement, was faster than him, soaring and tumbling through the air.

Sun Qi brandished his knife for a long time, but he couldn't even touch a single feather, let alone hurt the parrot.

Instead, he was repeatedly attacked by the parrot, which scratched him all over his head, leaving him bleeding profusely. Several tufts of hair on his head were even torn out, making him look extremely disheveled.

"Mr. Shen! Help me! Please help me!"

Sun Qi clutched his head tightly with both hands, screaming for help at the top of his lungs. He looked utterly miserable, and as if his feet were greased, he ran into the depths of the flower and bird market without looking back.

"No way! It's flying too fast, I can't aim properly. What if I accidentally shoot you?"

Shenhe deliberately feigned anxiety, holding his gun and pretending to lock onto the parrot, following it at a distance that was neither too close nor too far. However, his eyes were clear and discerning, showing no intention of helping to save the parrot.

The parrot just now shouted "bad guy" as soon as it saw Sun Qi, which means it not only knows him but also has a grudge against him.

Sun Qi had previously said that he had never been here before!

Isn't this deceiving him, an innocent young boy?

What's even stranger is that although the parrot's attributes are slightly stronger than Sun Qi's, the difference isn't that big, and it's not enough to force him to flee in such a sorry state with no chance of fighting back.

But instead of coming to my side when he called for help, he kept trying to get into the market. The purpose was obvious: to lure him in!

Sun Qi! What are you pretending for in front of me?! I can see all your data!

I'm not an ordinary person! I have a cheat code!

You silly boy!

Shenhe glanced down at his wrist, feeling the confidence that came from his own spatial ability combined with Shen Qiangwei's wood-type ability, and the fact that his overall aptitude was over seventy points.

Since Sun Qi is such a good actor!

Then I'll play with you for a while!

But no rush, let's make this wicked guy suffer a lot first!

Sun Qi ran wildly, turning two alley corners, and his figure quickly disappeared from Shenhe's sight.

Seeing that Shenhe didn't quickly catch up, the feigned fear and pity on his face instantly vanished.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a powerful flashlight, switched it on sharply, and shone it directly at the cockatiel that was about to swoop down again!

The movements were exceptionally skillful.

"Chirp chirp—! My eyes! My eyes!"

The cockatiel was suddenly blinded by the bright light and let out a sharp cry. It immediately flapped its wings and turned sharply, flying towards the warehouse of the flower and bird market.

"A beast is a beast! It never learns its lesson!"

"Ouch—! That hurts like hell!"

Sun Qi clutched his still-bleeding head, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the direction the parrot had flown away, a far cry from his pitiful, pleading expression just moments before.

Hearing Shenhe's slow footsteps coming from the end of the alley, Sun Qi turned and ran, cursing as he ran, his face full of anger and malice!

"That damn Shen! He deliberately didn't save me! He watched me get scratched so many times! He deserves to die!"

"hiss-!"

"You wait! Go play with my baby!"

Sun Qi finally revealed his true colors.

Shenhe stared at the map, watching as the white dot representing Sun Qi suddenly turned red. He then deliberately made footsteps at the end of the alley to confuse the audience, and then coldly watched as the red dot representing Sun Qi rushed towards the back of the market.
