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

The courtyard of Happiness Garden Inn.

More than a dozen figures descended from the sky. Apart from Shenhe and Jiang Yan, who were not in any discomfort because they flew on their own, all the other soldiers and Xu Zhenghui couldn't help but feel weak in the knees and their bodies went limp to the ground as soon as they landed.

The dozen or so people quickly helped each other up so as not to embarrass themselves by lying sprawled on the ground.

They've flown quite a bit, but at least they've been inside the cabin and have a sense of security. This is flying without any equipment, which makes it a bit unsettling.

Jiang Yan stood to the side, her hands behind her back, watching their awkward expressions with a smile.

"This girl! This girl has gone astray!"

As soon as Xu Zhenghui landed, he muttered something, turning his head to look around the small courtyard. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, especially when he glanced at the ancient city below.

"Oh! You can see the entire ancient city from here, that's great! You two really know how to choose a place, I'm starting to like it here."

"Unfortunately, you got there first. A gentleman doesn't take what belongs to others. Alright, everyone, get to work and clean this place up spotless! Let them stay here tonight."

"yes!"

The soldiers immediately set to work, heading straight for the main house to tidy it up so that people could live there that night.

Many hands make light work. A group of soldiers hurried into the house. Some went to the well to fetch water, while others took out a bunch of rags from the bags they were carrying.

Some people even pulled out air cleaners and degreasers!

They really came prepared.

The soldiers went to clean up, while Shenhe, Jiang Yan, and Xu Zhenghui chatted in the pavilion.

Xu Zhenghui was very curious about how the two of them got together and asked, "How did you two get together?"

Shenhe and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, and Shenhe then told her how they made a bet about killing zombies, and how Jiang Yan, true to her word, was kissed after losing the bet, and that's how they got together.

Xu Zhenghui laughed heartily, pointing at Shenhe and saying that he was pretending to be weak while actually being strong. He also said that Jiang Yan, that silly girl, had been fooled, and at the same time told her that you can't judge a book by its cover.

When Jiang Yan heard him call her a stupid girl, she rolled her eyes at Xu Zhenghui in anger, and then rolled her eyes at Shenhe.

After chatting for a while, Shenhe's throat got dry, so he simply took out a bunch of snacks and chilled wine from his spatial storage.

A smoked and braised platter contains pig ears, beef shank, pig stomach, pig heart, chicken gizzard, red sausage, pig trotters, pig head meat, pig hock, and peanuts.

Except for the whole pig's trotters, everything else was sliced, and a bowl of dipping sauce was included.

The dipping sauce contains minced garlic, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil, and there is also a dish of dry barbecue seasoning on the side.

A side of refreshing side dishes with dipping sauce: lettuce, endive, cucumber, onion, baby radish, and a dish of egg sauce.

Other dishes include spicy crayfish, boneless chicken feet with lemon, stir-fried whelks and clams, salt and pepper shrimp, and shredded chicken.

As Shenhe suddenly placed dish after dish on the table, Xu Zhenghui and Jiang Yan, who had been chatting eloquently, were both dumbfounded as they stared at the food on the table.

Xu Zhenghui's eyes widened. "What...what...what's going on? Why do we need to drink while we're just chatting?"

Jiang Yan was also looking at the boneless chicken feet and pig's head meat, and she swallowed her saliva discreetly. She loved eating meat the most.

Although the food they ate on the ship wasn't bad, there were no special snacks to accompany their drinks, as drinking was strictly prohibited during the mission.

"Today is a good day. First, the ancient city has been cleared, and we have a foothold on land. Second, we are celebrating that I have won the favor of Miss Jiang Yan. Third, Jiang Yan and I have a new home. Let's celebrate together."

Xu Zhenghui laughed heartily, "Hahaha! We should have a drink! Let's celebrate!"

Jiang Yan smiled gently, glanced at Shen He with her beautiful eyes, and then turned her gaze back to the dishes. The two had only known each other for two days, but their relationship was progressing very quickly, which was rather embarrassing.

Shenhe took out chopsticks and a bowl and gave one set to Jiang Yan, and then gave one set to Xu Zhenghui and himself.

With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a few bottles of chilled beer for himself, then turned to Jiang Yan, "What would you like to drink?"

Jiang Yan was already biting her chopsticks, ready to devour the braised pork head meat in the smoked sauce. She had already chosen a piece with a good balance of fat and lean meat, and was just waiting for Shen He's command to grab it and stuff it into her mouth to eat.

When Shenhe asked her what she wanted to drink, she didn't react for a second before looking at him expectantly, "Can I have a beer too? I want to have a drink with you."

Shenhe chuckled, picked up two cans of beer from his side and placed them beside her, then turned to Xu Zhenghui, "Uncle Xu, you drink this too?"

"You finally remembered me! Do you have any white ones?"

Xu Zhenghui saw that Shenhe always gave everything to Jiang Yan first, and instead of being angry, he felt happy that his daughter was loved. He truly treated Jiang Yan as a junior.

Shenhe ignored all those opinions. Why not treat others first instead of his own people? It's not like it's the end of the world.

"Can I just use a loose basket?"

"Sure! Selling the baskets would be best."

Shenhe took out a bucket of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and placed a cup next to Xu Zhenghui, saying, "Pour as much as you can drink."

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Yan staring at a piece of pig's head meat like a little glutton, and he couldn't help but smile.

To be honest, Shenhe just enjoys watching pretty girls eat. It's pleasing to the eye, and he's happy to see the person he likes eating and having fun. Being able to eat is a blessing.

He picked up his chopsticks and took the piece of pig's head meat, intending to put it in Jiang Yan's bowl.

Then Shenhe saw Jiang Yan staring at the meat on his chopsticks, looking annoyed.

Shenhe chuckled inwardly. She must be annoyed that someone else had taken her favorite piece of meat!

He was right. Jiang Yan kept repeating to herself, "It's over! It's over! I should have known better than to wait!"

She shouldn't have been so rude! It's the end of the world!

Then, she saw the meat on the chopsticks turn around and come to her mouth, and she heard Shenhe's gentle voice in her ear, "Eat, you must be hungry."

Jiang Yan looked at Shen He in surprise. Seeing his smiling face, she knew he had seen her greedy expression just now. Her ears were a little hot, but her mouth didn't stop. She carefully bit off the piece of meat on her chopsticks and quickly turned her head away.

"Thanks…"

She felt so happy for a moment. Shenhe had been paying attention to her all along. He even noticed the meat she chose and was worried that she would go hungry, so he told her not to wait for others.

He's a really good man, just a bit of a womanizer.

Xu Zhenghui poured himself a glass of soda. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Jiang girl, you eat yours and don't worry about me. We're all family, so why be so formal? Eat if you're hungry, and drink if you're thirsty."

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass, took a deep sniff, and revealed a look of complete rapture.

"Come on, let's drink! May our country soon return to peace! May you both be happy and grow old together!"

Shenhe picked up the wine, and Jiang Yan quickly swallowed the fragrant meat in her mouth, then picked up the wine and held it out.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

"Thanks, Uncle Xu."

"Cheers!"

The three clinked glasses. Xu Zhenghui and Shenhe drank their glasses in one gulp, while Jiang Yan tried to take a sip, then frowned tightly and quickly put some meat in her mouth to suppress the urge.

"Ah—! That feels so good!"

Xu Zhenghui exhaled, a satisfied look on his face. He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork knuckle, and chewed it. Then he reached into his pocket and took out two notebooks with the national emblem on them, handing them to Shenhe and Jiang Yan respectively.
