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

The green centipede pounced again!

This time the soldier wasn't so lucky; he swung his rifle hard, but missed!

The green centipede landed on his forearm, and it felt icy cold!

His combat uniform was so hot that the sleeves in the front were rolled up, revealing his muscular, wheat-colored skin!

The soldier instinctively tried to shake off the weapon, but its steel-like legs held it firmly, leaving dozens of wounds.

He reached out his other hand to grab it, intending to pin it down, but as soon as he grasped its cold body, a sharp pain shot through his arm, and he couldn't help but scream in agony.

"what!"

Looking down, the green centipede had bitten through the skin and quickly burrowed inside. The skin on the forearm bulged up in the shape of a centipede, and the soldier screamed in pain, his face turning pale!

He gripped his arm tightly, not daring to give the centipede a chance to crawl towards his shoulder.

The officer next to him, his face grim, drew a knife. It was Song Haiyang's goose-feather knife that he had picked up on the city wall. He had kept it because it looked good at cutting zombies, and the blade was already very clean.

"Take your hand away!"

The officer roared, and the soldier knew what his superior was going to do from his movements. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but compared to his life, his hand was not so important.

With a gritted tooth, he removed the hand gripping his arm, turned his head, and clenched his teeth tightly. He heard a sharp swishing sound from the blade, and the excruciating pain of the centipede burrowing into his flesh vanished.

"Ouch... Damn! That hurts! Ouch—!"

The soldier's expression relaxed for a moment, but the pain from his severed arm returned the next second. He was in so much pain that sweat poured down his face, his lips bled from being bitten, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

The officer kicked his hand away, and the other soldiers quickly took out bandages to stop the bleeding.

The severed forearm slammed onto the stone slab, and the emerald green centipede quickly crawled out from the bloody flesh and charged towards the soldiers' ranks once more.

Looking at this invulnerable monster that could neither be killed nor shaken off, everyone felt a sense of powerlessness gripping their hearts.

The green centipede lunged at a new soldier and leaped into the air, startling the soldier into closing his eyes. He planned that if he was bitten, he would leave the group before he mutated and run far away, giving the group a chance to retreat.

He waited two seconds, and when everything was fine, he opened his eyes.

The green centipede was struggling about 30 centimeters in front of him, its dozens of legs kicking wildly.

It's Ms. Jiang Yan again!

The officer kept slashing at it with his goose-feather saber, making dozens of cuts until the saber was chipped, but he still couldn't hurt the centipede.

"You guys go, cough cough... go..."

Jiang Yan felt she was about to die and wanted to do something to hold it off at the last moment so that the soldiers could leave first and she could go back and figure out how to deal with the centipede.

As he spoke, blood spilled from his mouth.

Just as everyone was torn between not being able to abandon their superior and obeying orders to evacuate, the air beside the green centipede suddenly rippled and twisted.

Everyone froze in place, tense, and instinctively raised their guns, watching the unusual movement warily.

Then, Shenhe's figure suddenly appeared!

Jiang Yan lay on the female soldier's back, staring blankly at Shenhe, which appeared in a flash on the screen.

"What... what kind of ability is this?"

Shenhe also looked at Jiang Yan, and seeing her weakly lying on the female soldier's back, his brows furrowed deeply.

Her skin was already pale, but now her small face was even paler and bloodless, with a streak of blood at the corner of her mouth, which ironically added a touch of vibrancy to her appearance.

A pair of beautiful, large eyes stared straight at her, filled with disbelief, a little embarrassment, but mostly relief and reassurance.

Are you too embarrassed to pretend in front of yourself?

What's there to be relieved about?

Worried about being bullied?

Shenhe was doing a good job clearing things out there, but when he heard the gunfire, grenade explosions, and helicopter support, he knew they were in trouble.

He was worried about Jiang Yan, so he came to check on her, only to find that she was practically dead.

Thank goodness he came.

Shenhe glanced at the green centipede and his lips twitched. The name was too ruthless.

Hiss—! Longevity-enhancing! A treasure!

Shenhe's gaze towards the green centipede instantly turned fiery and dangerous. "System, should I kill it and take it back to make medicinal wine, or should I beat it up and keep it as a pet?"

Before the system could even give a notification!

Ever since Shenhe appeared, the unusually docile green centipede seemed to sense his ill intentions.

They simply chose to give in.

One is a third-order, the other a seventh-order, do you think it's stupid?

[Long live the Centipede King! He begs to become your personal pet. Does the host accept?]

"accept!"

After Shenhe accepted, the system unleashed a golden light, invisible to others, at the centipede emperor.

The green centipede's stats have also changed, with an added affinity rating, which, like the rose's, is now 100.

Those who understand the times are wise; it saves trouble!

The problem was easily solved in less than thirty seconds.

Shenhe reached out and grabbed at the Centipede Emperor, intending to take him into the Spirit Nourishing Hall, and then he had to treat Jiang Yan's injuries.

"Shenhe...no!"

Jiang Yan reminded him in a weak yet anxious voice.

That officer too.

"Comrade Shen, be careful! He can crawl inside people's bodies!"

"fine."

Shenhe calmly grabbed the centipede king. It remained motionless, obedient like a figurine, as if afraid of angering its owner and being crushed to death.

It is entirely emerald green, like top-grade jade, quite beautiful, and not as ferocious-looking as ordinary centipedes.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the centipede vanished.

Ignoring everyone's stunned stares, he walked over to Jiang Yan and naturally reached out to carry her in a princess carry. The female soldier hesitated, not daring to say anything.

"You remain where you are."

After saying that, ignoring everyone else's thoughts, the space around him rippled, and he and Jiang Yan disappeared from the spot.

The soldiers who remained in place, like Liu Ming and his group on another street, stared wide-eyed.

I can't imagine what kind of person Shenhe is, that he can come and go without a trace, and that even such a ferocious alien species is obedient and doesn't dare to move in his hands.

But everyone agreed on one thing: this person was probably really strong, stronger than anyone could comprehend.

The commotion at the scene grew louder and louder, eventually reaching the helicopter and then back to the naval base.

Jiang Yan nestled in Shen He's arms. She felt a blur of light and shadow before her eyes, and the sounds of wind, gunfire, and voices all faded away. When she looked again, she was already standing at the shop entrance.

Shenhe carried her into her bedroom, glanced at the layout, and thought, "It's pretty much the same as my room. Hmm! Okay, except the bed is bigger and the bedroom is much more spacious."

He clicked his tongue inwardly. These soldiers picked such a nice room for Jiang Yan, but just gave him a random room. The difference in treatment was quite obvious.

He gently placed Jiang Yan on her bed and then reached out to check her gunshot wound.
