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

Jiang Yan stared blankly at the ice sculptures in various poses before her, and stretched out her slender fingers to touch them.

"Don't touch it. There's residual ice energy on it. If your delicate skin gets on it, your fingers will freeze off."

Shenhe leaned against the bar, watching Jiang Yan's absent-minded appearance, and the corners of his lips curled up higher and higher. He finally vented his anger that he had been holding in for two days.

Jiang Yan was startled and withdrew her fingers, her eyes constantly scanning the various crystal-clear ice sculptures in front of her.

After watching for a while, she turned around and looked at Shenhe with complicated eyes, scrutinizing him inch by inch from head to toe, as if she wanted to get to know him all over again.

Jiang Yan walked up to him, slightly raised her eyes, her gaze still filled with shock, and muttered a little annoyed.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that you were amazing? Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to think I was better than you these past few days?"

"hehe!"

Shenhe raised his hand and pinched one of Jiang Yan's cheeks; her fair and smooth face was full of collagen.

"First, no one asks me what my actual strength is. Second, I don't have the bad habit of showing off my strength everywhere. In this world, every ability is a trump card, and only a fool would actively reveal their trump cards."

Moreover, from the very first day you arrogantly looked at me like I was a fool, I've been anticipating this scene today. Your dumbfounded look, your exclamation of "Impossible!"—it really excites me!

"Hahahahahahahaha—!"

Shenhe stretched her face into the shape he wanted, laughing unrestrainedly.

Jiang Yan laughed until her cheeks turned red and her eyes turned black. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped away Shen He's hand that was pulling her cheek.

Jiang Yan rolled her eyes and pouted, "Boring!"

Seeing her puffed-up cheeks and pouting lips, Shenhe suddenly lowered his head and approached her soft lips.

But they parted after just a light peck, and he whispered in her ear, "I like looking at you more, shy, charming, and lovable."

Jiang Yan's eyes darted around as if she suddenly remembered something. Her face flushed crimson, and she could no longer maintain her haughty demeanor. She covered her burning face with her hands, squatted down, and buried her face and hands in her knees, making muffled sounds.

"Shenhe! You...you're being a pervert!"

In response, Shenhe responded with even more hearty laughter.

After a while, Jiang Yan finally calmed down. She remembered that when they first met, she really thought Shenhe was scared out of his wits by that giant octopus. She did treat him like an idiot at the time. She never expected that he just didn't take the octopus seriously.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly. Now that she thought about it, Shenhe was actually a pretty good person. Even though she looked at him like that, he didn't do anything to her.

Jiang Yan stood up and walked towards the door. As she approached the corridor, she saw soldiers guarding the entrance. She paused, then suddenly turned back to Shen He, asking in a low voice, "So, what level is your Ice Bond? And what about teleportation…?"

Looking at her bright yet slightly apprehensive eyes, Shenhe slowly said, "Ice type, fourth rank."

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction. It was alright; he was only one level higher than her. She still had two upgrade cards, and in a few days she would be able to surpass him and reach the fifth level!

As she was pondering this in her mind, Shenhe added, "Metal element, third rank."

Jiang Yan was taken aback, blinked, and said, "Huh?"

How come there's a second superpower?

Shenhe looked at her stunned expression and smiled even more, saying slowly and deliberately, "Space-type, seventh rank."

"...Huh?" What are you doing?

Jiang Yan opened her mouth, looking at him in disbelief.

There are even checkpoints!

Shenhe finally saw the expression he liked, and a happy checkmark appeared on his lips.

It took Jiang Yan a long time to recover from the huge shock Shenhe had given her; her voice was still a little unsteady.

"Seventh Rank! You're actually a seventh-rank ability user? How do you have so many abilities? And! Didn't you say you were going to keep your trump cards to yourself? Why are you telling me everything?"

Shenhe took two steps forward, gently placed his hands on her shoulders, his smile faded, and his serious gaze made Jiang Yan's heart race.

"You are already the closest person to me."

Shenhe looked into her eyes, his voice low and solemn, "I'm willing to tell you, and I trust you. You definitely won't betray me, right?"

He was just showing off to her, and he felt good seeing her surprised. Moreover, these superpowers were never Shenhe's trump card. He only had one trump card, which was the omnipotent system. He would never tell anyone about it.

As Shenhe was thinking, the system suddenly interrupted.

[Without a host, I am omnipotent]

Shenhe scoffed inwardly, "You want me to destroy the universe? Or for an hour at a time?"

[I'm going to read a novel now, bye-bye, host]

Shenhe rolled his eyes at the system in his mind.

When Jiang Yan heard Shen He say that she was the closest person to him, she couldn't help but smile. Looking into Shen He's serious eyes, she said each word with a firm tone, as if she were making a vow, "I will never betray you."

Shenhe smiled and reached out to pull her into his arms.

His palm landed on her slender waist and patted it gently twice. The touch was soft and incredibly bouncy.

Silly girl, the system has labeled you as someone who will never betray me, so of course you'll never betray me.

"Let's go, let's continue clearing out the zombies."

"Um."

Jiang Yan nodded in his arms, then let him take her little hand and walk outside. She was still a little shocked to learn that Shenhe was a seventh-level ability user.

The two turned down the corridor and walked outside, leaving only a room full of ice sculptures standing silently, radiating a chilling aura.

"Miss Jiang, Comrade Shen, you're out!"

Upon seeing the two, the soldiers at the gate breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yan looked up, nodded to the soldier who had spoken, and instructed, "There are dozens of mutated zombie corpses inside. Please go in and collect the energy cores, but remember, you absolutely cannot touch the ice with your body! It's very dangerous."

"Okay... okay, Miss Jiang! Leave it to us."

The soldiers exchanged glances, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Dozens of mutated zombies? They were all taken care of so quietly?

Suppressing their shock, they turned on their flashlights and cautiously entered the bar.

Watching the soldiers leave to deal with the mutants, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something and turned her gaze to Shenhe.

"What level are those mutants inside?"

Shenhe said casually, "First tier."

"What?"

Jiang Yan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Only...only at the first rank?"

Jiang Yan's eyes darted left and right as she pondered an unbelievable question. Those monsters were so powerful in the soldiers' eyes, and she considered them troublesome mutants if there were too many of them, but they were only at the first level!

As for Shenhe, he killed them all in an instant with just a fourth-tier ice-type ability. Those were hundreds of ordinary zombies and dozens of mutants! Just one strike!

How strong must his seventh-order spatial ability be?
