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

The weather is nice today, quite sunny and breezy.

At eight o'clock in the morning, everyone on the mission had a sumptuous meal. No one talked or laughed; everyone buried their heads and ate heartily.

This is the rule: before a mission, everyone must eat their fill and feel at ease. No one dares to say it out loud, but everyone knows in their hearts that this might be the last peaceful meal they ever have.

The military flags fluttered on the deck. Chen Jie and a group of pilots stood beside the fighter jets, while the ground crew stood at attention with their guns, their boots seemingly nailed to the deck, motionless.

Helmet held in his arms, military uniform fluttering slightly in the wind, all eyes were on Captain Xu Zhenghui in front of him, his back straight, his eyes resolute and unwavering.

Many survivors also got up early and stood quietly on the outside, looking at the people on the deck who were all ready to go, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation.

Xu Zhenghui stood at the very front of the line, his gaze beneath the brim of his military cap as deep as the ocean, slowly sweeping over the young yet resolute faces. After today, he wondered which one would be missing.

Shenhe and Jiang Yan stood to his left.

"Comrades!"

"have!!"

Xu Zhenghui's voice cut through the sea breeze, resounding and firm: "Today's mission area is not routine training. The urban environment is complex, and the risks are far greater than before. Unknown hidden dangers could swallow lives at any moment."

But remember, when you wear this uniform, what you carry on your shoulders is not just weapons, but the livelihood of the people behind you, and the determination to defend every inch of our land!

We urgently need a forward position to establish a foothold. This battle is one where victory is not an option! Do you have confidence?

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The soldiers' roars shook Shenhe's eardrums. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their necks stiff with shouts, veins bulging on their necks. The sound waves crashed into the distance with the sea breeze, carrying a desperate, do-or-die spirit.

Xu Zhenghui raised his hand and pressed down, and the noise immediately stopped, leaving only the rustling sound of the flags being blown by the wind.

His gaze slowed, sweeping from the front to the back of the line as if trying to etch every face into his heart. His tone softened, losing some of its official airs and gaining a more down-to-earth quality. "I've finished with the official talk. Now, let me speak from the heart. Brothers, I'm waiting for you here. Get home safely."

"Set off!"

At the command, all the pilots turned around in unison, grabbed the cabin door, and nimbly climbed onto the plane.

Tiger and his entourage quickly boarded the plane, pulling the bolts and checking the magazines with a click-clack sound; the crisp metallic clanging resonated in people's hearts.

Chen Jie sat in the cockpit, fastened his helmet, and quickly moved his hands across the control panel to adjust the parameters. As the propeller began to hum and spin, he looked up at Shenhe River and waved.

Seeing this, Shenhe strode towards the fighter jet.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yan's voice came from behind.

Shenhe paused and turned back.

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her lips were pressed into a line, and her struggle and worry were clearly written on her face, but she pretended to be indifferent.

His expression froze.

What's going on? Are you worried about him?

I glanced at her favorability rating; it was still 60, which means she's just an average person who doesn't find him annoying.

She changed her clothes today.

A beige short V-neck knit cardigan is loosely draped over the shoulders, revealing a small section of fair skin at the waist and abdomen, with the faint outline of abs faintly visible.

The lower body is an oatmeal-colored high-waisted knitted long skirt, the fabric is soft and drapey, covering all the way to the ankles.

Compared to her sharp and aloof demeanor in all black yesterday, she exuded a more languid and gentle charm today.

Even with such loose fabric, her exquisite curves couldn't be concealed at all. When the wind blew, the skirt clung to her legs, revealing dazzlingly beautiful lines.

"Stay close to the soldiers when clearing the alleyways. Don't get distracted if you encounter tough monsters! Fight if you can, run if you can't. Don't stand still like you did yesterday, or you'll really die, understand?"

Jiang Yan took half a step forward, raised her eyes to glare at him, and spoke in a harsh tone.

"Why are you so concerned about me? Do you like me?"

Shenhe knew, of course, that couldn't be true; he was just saying that on purpose to tease her.

"Tch!" Jiang Yan immediately turned her face away, chin held high, looking disdainful. "You're just being presumptuous."

Shenhe turned and left. All the other planes were about to take off, waiting for him. He didn't have time to flirt with her.

"Why!"

Jiang Yan suddenly walked quickly around to his side, blocked his way, and handed him the shoebox she had been holding.

It's been two days, and I've finally looked at him properly this time.

"Hey! How much of that candy do you have left? Let's exchange it quickly, I'm afraid you won't come back!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly opened the shoebox, inside which were a bunch of round energy cores.

"Oh!"

Shenhe was so angry he almost laughed. If there weren't so many people watching nearby, he would have definitely given her a good beating today!

Otherwise, I won't feel satisfied!

She was holding the box when she came out, and he thought it was something like flat shoes, but he didn't expect it was to be exchanged for candy.

Reaching into the shoebox, I found ten energy cores in total. This woman has quite a lot in stock!

Huh? What's this?

A clump of black mesh fabric, wrinkled and huddled in the corner of the shoebox.

He picked it up and looked at it curiously, then subconsciously put it under his nose and gently smelled it.

It's a little sour and a little fragrant. What is it? It's quite intoxicating.

"Hey! No!"

Jiang Yan's face turned bright red, and she reached out to snatch it.

In the morning, she thought, what if Shenhe, that idiot, died out there on a mission? Wouldn't she never be able to eat that rainbow lollipop that she longed for again?

So she grabbed a box, put a handful of energy cores inside, and tried to trade them for some candy from Shenhe.

She never expected to find a pair of these in the shoebox! In this apocalyptic world, water is more precious than gold, so she was thinking of saving them up!

Shenhe dodged her hand and stuffed the things into his front pocket. He didn't believe Jiang Yan would dare to come here and snatch them.

Then he switched his hand to another pocket, took out 15 rainbow lollipops from his storage space, and stuffed them into her arms.

"Since you've given me a free gift, I'll give you a few more candies in return. We'll be even now."

After putting her things away, Shenhe turned and left, this time leaving so quickly that he didn't give her a chance.

Jiang Yan looked down at the pile of rainbow lollipops in her arms, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

She was surprised to learn that he had so many lollipops. She should have grabbed more energy cores instead. But then she remembered the socks he had taken away, and felt both embarrassed and angry.

Looking up as if to say something more, Shenhe had already climbed into the cabin and slammed the door shut.

"You! You'd better not come back!" Jiang Yan stomped her foot angrily, her body trembling.

Her telekinetic abilities activated, white light shone in her eyes, and the lollipop in her arms flew up on its own, entering her room through the window, which she then closed.

"You're disgusting!"

She watched the plane gradually take off, muttered something under her breath, and turned to walk back to her squad with a hint of embarrassment and anger.

Shenhe sat in the cabin, turning his gaze away from Jiang Yan on the deck.

The hand in his pocket twitched, then he put the thing into his spatial storage.

He took his hand out and touched his nose, then leaned back in the cabin, closed his eyes to rest, and the smile on his lips never faded.

People's personalities change with their environment and status; he wasn't this kind of person before.
