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

The soldiers who were ordered by Shenhe to stay put are now waiting. Two hours have passed since Shenhe and his men disappeared, and there has been no news yet.

They wanted to know more than anyone else how Miss Jiang Yan was doing, as she was a crucial fighting force against the mutated zombies, and her importance was self-evident.

Captain Xu Zhenghui has asked them several times already.

The helicopter formation that had been circling in the air also found a flat spot outside the city and landed.

The zombies on the streets have been cleared away, leaving only the zombies inside the houses. We'll have to wait for Jiang Yan to return, but whether she'll be able to come back is still unknown.

Xu Zhenghui's order was to wait a day. If Jiang Yan did not return, the army had to go even if it meant increased casualties.

Time waits for no one in this apocalyptic world.

The soldiers sat on the steps of shops on both sides of the street, the heat making their guns scorching hot.

Some sharp-eyed people spotted Shenhe and Jiang Yan slowly walking over.

"Look over there! Miss Jiang Yan is still alive!"

"They're back!"

"Ah! It seems everything's alright now!"

"Very good!"

Many soldiers gasped and stood up, looking at Jiang Yan and Shen He with curiosity, after all, the way he suddenly disappeared was too incredible.

When the two female soldiers saw Jiang Yan, they immediately went over to look her up and down. Seeing that she was perfectly fine and even looked better than before, a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

"Miss Jiang Yan, your gunshot wound?"

Jiang Yan reverted to her haughty demeanor, composed herself, slightly raised her chin, and blinked lightly. "I'm fine now. Let's assemble the team and continue the mission."

"yes!"

The two female soldiers stood at attention and saluted, but as they turned around, they quickly exchanged a glance, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up.

Before leaving, he stole a glance at Jiang Yan's neck, his eyes full of mischievous smiles.

Jiang Yan looked at the two people's backs with a puzzled expression, wondering what they were laughing at her for.

She turned her head to look at Shenhe beside her, "What are they laughing at?"

Shenhe chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping over her neck. "Hehe, don't hold your chin up so high, your neck is covered in marks."

Her skin was fair, and the marks on her neck and collarbone resembled bright little red flowers blooming in the sunlight.

Jiang Yan's raised chin froze instantly, then she quickly lowered her head and pulled her collar up to cover herself, but as soon as she moved the collar, she saw that it was also full of little red flowers.

Her face flushed bright red, and she glared at Shenhe resentfully, muttering under her breath, "Simp!"

After finishing his rant, he lifted his foot and walked forward.

This simp isn't the pathetic simp who ends up with nothing.

His term "sycophant" is literal.

Shenhe curled his lips into a smile as he watched the graceful figure swaying in front of him, and followed at a leisurely pace.

When Jiang Yan reached the front of the line, she turned back to Shen He and said, "You go ahead, be careful."

Shenhe nodded, his figure blurred, and he vanished from everyone's sight once again, leaving behind a chorus of exclamations.

This time, Jiang Yan once again chose to have the two of them each lead a separate path, solely for greater efficiency. Her superpower had been upgraded to level three, resulting in a qualitative change in her telekinesis. Large objects that she couldn't control before could now be manipulated by her.

However, she said this time that if any unexpected situation arises, she will contact Shenhe immediately.

Liu Ming sat on the steps, holding a gun in his arms, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the street corner or the direction of Jiang Yan and the others, his lips pressed tightly together.

Everyone knows that Jiang Yan was shot, and it would be a lie to say that they aren't worried.

Just as he was thinking this, his vision blurred, and suddenly there was another person in front of him—Comrade Shen! What a bizarre ability!

When dozens of soldiers saw Shenhe return, they all stood up, lined up, and looked straight at him.

In the military, or in this world, the strong are respected. Shen Helu's move had already intimidated these soldiers who had seen life and death. Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it was enough to make these ordinary people look up to him.

"Comrade Shen, Miss Jiang Yan, she..." Liu Ming couldn't help but step forward, his voice a little tense.

"She's fine, the shot didn't hit any vital organs." Shenhe waved his hand. "Pass down the order, continue the operation."

Liu Ming's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and a relieved smile spread across his face. He stood at attention, saluted, turned around, and shouted, "Miss Jiang Yan is safe and sound! Continue the operation!"

After Liu Ming finished shouting, the tense atmosphere in the ranks vanished, and the soldiers grinned with honest smiles, their grip on their guns becoming lighter.

Shenhe raised an eyebrow. Jiang Xiaoniu still holds a high place in the hearts of these soldiers. That makes sense, otherwise all the soldiers wouldn't have put a few candies in their pockets for her.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots rang out again from the next street. Shenhe didn't waste any time; he looked at the map and began reporting information.

"A pork rib hot pot restaurant, nine zombies."

"Yunnan-style restaurant, eight zombies."

"Whale Photography Studio, three."

"Yunxiangju Inn, hmm, they have zombie dogs. I'll go there myself."

With Shenhe's cheating-like reporting of positions, the soldiers' morale soared. They advanced in groups, opening doors, raising their guns, and firing in quick succession, clearing one position after another with astonishing efficiency.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan from the next street, after her psychic abilities reached the third level, her sensory abilities also improved considerably. Although she wasn't as precise as Shen He, who knew everything, she could still sense roughly how many monsters were in each house.

For a time, the efficiency of the two teams was almost the same.

Some people noticed that Jiang Yan's abilities seemed to have changed and inquired about it out of curiosity.

Jiang Yan lowered her eyes, and the corners of her lips curved almost imperceptibly. "At the critical moment of life and death, her mind became clear, and she broke through."

Before they knew it, it was noon. The entire eastern area of ​​the ancient city had been thoroughly cleaned up, and all the shops were marked with safety signs. In the afternoon, they would begin to enter the center of the ancient city, the place where the Corpse King might be hiding.

The group found a guesthouse with a courtyard to rest and have lunch to replenish their energy.

Even ordinary soldiers can't withstand the high level of tension for several consecutive hours.

Lunch is a single soldier's ration: glucose biscuits, cocoa biscuits, pork floss and vegetable biscuits, dried fish slices, hawthorn slices, instant drinks, chocolate, and chewing gum.

The crisp sound of tearing open the packaging mingled with the steam from hot water, and a faint aroma of dried rations filled the courtyard. Most of the soldiers ate the rations after they were softened by the hot water, their faces covered in dust and sweat, as they leaned against the wall, chewing and resting with their eyes closed.

Shenhe tried some, and didn't really like it, but it certainly wasn't bad. It was just dry. The soldiers soaked it in hot water before eating. He wasn't picky about food, so he lay down on a recliner he found in a guesthouse, rocking back and forth while smacking his lips.

"Miss Jiang, you've arrived..."

"Miss Jiang, are you alright?"

"Miss Jiang, would you like to have these candies?"

"Okay, it's alright, thank you."

There was a commotion at the courtyard gate. Shenhe lazily opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yan walk in. As she walked, she nodded lightly and responded softly, her expression indifferent.

That expressionless, arrogant face was completely different from when she bit people.
