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

"These are your identification documents. With these, you can move around freely within the Beichuan base. Your authority is only one level below mine, and you can freely mobilize soldiers, aircraft, and fleets that are not on duty for missions."

I have my own selfish reasons; I hope you can stay here. This newly established base needs you.

Xu Zhenghui spoke very sincerely, looking at the two of them intently. He was giving them a lot of power, which was somewhat of a gamble.

He knew Jiang Yan's personality; she was a kind girl. As for Shen He, he could only tell that he was quite easygoing, but he didn't know the specifics because he hadn't had much contact with him.

He hoped that with the help of the two people, the base could grow rapidly, so that there would be a chance to save more people. Moreover, there might be more and more people with superpowers in the future, and no one could guarantee that everyone was a good person.

In case any superhumans cause trouble, he'll need someone to help him out, otherwise, it'll be really difficult to deal with them.

Shenhe and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance and each picked up the documents in front of them.

The cover is made of matte black hard leather, which feels delicate and substantial to the touch. A shiny national emblem is embedded in the center, and a line of words is printed in gold below it.

"Beichuan Base Special Ability Unit"

Turning to the inside page, a one-inch photo is pasted on the left, the issuing unit and date are printed below, the name and ethnicity are listed on the right, and the military rank is written in the last column.

"I've become a major general without anyone noticing?" Shenhe looked at his military rank, raising an eyebrow and smiling.

"Me too." Jiang Yan blinked, still a little confused. How did she become such a high-ranking official? She could even mobilize troops and command an aircraft fleet!

Xu Zhenghui took a sip of baijiu and chuckled.

"It's all fake. It only works at the Beichuan base that I manage. Outside the base, at other official locations, it might fool people a bit, since the official seals and stamps are real. But when other superhumans join in the future, they won't get this treatment anymore. They'll have no official position or power, just good benefits."

It means that only the two of you are receiving special treatment.

Shenhe looked at the photo on the certificate; it was a screenshot from the surveillance footage on the aircraft carrier, and the angle was quite cool.

"Uncle Xu, aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

Shenhe suddenly looked up and stared at Xu Zhenghui with a blank expression.

Upon seeing his expression, Xu Zhenghui's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little scared. But when he thought about Shenhe's strange abilities, he felt relieved and carefree.

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. It's as if I can tell whether you're a good person or a bad person.

Since we can't control Shenhe anyway, we might as well give out all the benefits to gain some goodwill.

"To be honest, I'm scared." He nodded frankly.

"But in the two days I've spent with you, I can see that you have principles. You're so capable, yet you haven't indiscriminately killed innocent people or treated human life lightly. That's rare enough."

He paused, then glanced at Jiang Yan with a smile.

"Many people get arrogant as soon as they have superpowers and can't suppress the evil thoughts in their hearts, but you don't. Not only are you not ostentatious, but you're also quite good at hiding them. Otherwise, Jiang girl wouldn't have made a bet with you and lost it all, right?"

"Uncle Xu! You keep talking, don't involve me!"

Jiang Yan glared at him defiantly, then angrily picked up two large pieces of pork knuckle, dipped them in the sauce, and stuffed them into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging out, making her look incredibly cute.

"Alright, alright, Uncle was wrong. I'll punish myself with a drink." Xu Zhenghui smiled and raised his glass to apologize. Then he looked at Shenhe, his expression becoming more serious. "Shenhe, you are capable. Uncle only hopes that you can stay true to yourself, not be blinded by power, and not go astray."

"Uncle Xu, you're exaggerating. I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and I have a kind heart. I never do bad things."

Shenhe shook his head, picked up the wine bottle, and said, "Cheers."

"Cheers!"

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

The three of them enjoyed the meal immensely, finishing every last drop of food and drink, leaving hardly any broth behind.

Perhaps because he now had a territory, Xu Zhenghui felt much less pressure, or perhaps because he wanted to have a drink with Shenhe. In any case, he was already drunk and asleep on the table.

Shenhe originally wanted Jiang Yan to join the army and get a position in the base so that she could help him with things in the future.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenghui directly handed over the power, which saved him a lot of trouble. What a clever old fox.

Jiang Yan was also slumped over the table, but she was still awake. Her hands were stacked on the table, her chin resting on the back of her hands, her face flushed, and her eyes were glazed as she stared at the wine bottle in front of her. She had been drinking.

Although not completely drunk, I was still dazed.

Shenhe shook his head at her. She made such nice promises, saying she would have a drink with him, but after just that first sip, things turned out like this. He was speechless.

But that's definitely true, I'm not lying.

He moved to a long bench in the pavilion, leaned against a pillar, and glanced at the busy soldiers in the courtyard.

They had finished tidying up the house and were pulling up the vegetable seedlings in the backyard garden.

It'll be almost done.

The zombie outbreak had only lasted for a little over twenty days, and the guesthouse wasn't particularly dirty. Apart from the blood that was a bit hard to clean up, it was just a matter of wiping off the dust, cleaning the windows and floors.

After all the work was finished, the soldiers sent a representative to report, while the others waited in the yard.

Looking at the reserved young soldier before him, Shenhe tried his best to suppress his supernatural abilities and soften his demeanor.

"Your commander has had too much to drink. Have someone put him in the guest room in the east wing to sleep. Then you can all gather here, and I'll treat you to dinner."

The young soldier waved his hand and shook his head rapidly, "Mr. Shen, it's only right that we help you clean up your house! You protected us when we were clearing zombies this morning, otherwise we might have suffered many more casualties. How could we let you spend so much money?"

Shenhe didn't mince words. He flashed his identification and stopped in front of him. "Execute orders!"

The young soldier instinctively looked at the identification document.

The Special Abilities Division, with the rank of Major General?!

My goodness! I quickly put my legs together, straightened my back, pulled in my stomach and lifted my buttocks, saluted, and said, "Yes, sir!"

After saluting, he turned and ran, calling over two comrades who then half-carried and half-lifted Xu Zhenghui to the guest room.

"It works quite well."

Shenhe chuckled, put away his documents, walked to the table, and called to Jiang Yan, "Yan Yan? Feed her! Get ready!"

Jiang Yan remained in the same position, her eyes wide open but seemingly unable to hear him speak, and showed no reaction.

"Even after drinking so much, she's still so well-behaved."

Helpless, Shenhe stepped forward, took her arm, and pulled her up, letting her lean against him.

Jiang Yan didn't make a fuss and leaned against him softly.

With a wave of his left hand, all the empty plates and bowls on the table disappeared; with another wave, a flash of light appeared.

On the table and on the benches around the pavilion, a large amount of food, enough for more than ten people, appeared at once.

The whole roasted lamb had a crispy, sizzling skin and was covered in oil. Several large bowls of hand-pulled beef steaks were piled high, and the aroma of the meat was irresistible.

Various braised dishes and stir-fries were laid out in abundance, with chilled beer and soda placed to the side.

There are also chilled watermelon, cantaloupe and other fresh fruits, and finally a large bowl of steaming white rice.

They originally wanted to take the steamed buns, thinking it would be more convenient for them to eat, but when they thought about how Li Yuetong had painstakingly kneaded each one, they couldn't bear to part with them.

Shenhe casually placed these things—things that would drive ordinary people mad in the apocalypse—into an entire pavilion.

He can't not reciprocate when someone helps him with his work; it's only fair.

Besides, if you eat his food, your favorability rating will increase, right? If your favorability rating is high, then you'll become a suicide soldier. These soldiers are all skilled with guns. You can take them out to help him fight zombies and level up later. What a great thing!
