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

The next day, just as dawn broke.

In the bedroom, Jiang Yan was wrapped in a summer blanket, with only her head sticking out onto the pillow.

Her jet-black hair was tossed all over the pillow, and her fair face was flushed. She suddenly fluttered her eyelashes while fast asleep, and slowly opened her eyes two minutes later.

Her gaze swept over the unfamiliar retro ceiling, and it took her a few seconds to realize that she was in her new home in the ancient city.

Then he stretched out a big yawn!

Her fair, jade-like hands and feet emerged from under the covers, their twenty fingers spread wide, making her look like an adorable little turtle turned over, thanks to the light green summer quilt covering her.

"Uh... hiss... oh ho ho ho..."

Jiang Yan stretched halfway before collapsing onto the bed, too afraid to move. She felt uncomfortable all over, her bones ached, as if she had been hit by a rocket and thrown a hundred meters away.

Something's not right, absolutely not right!

Why does my face hurt so much?

After thinking about it carefully, her last memory was of her vaguely finishing the last pig's trotter yesterday.

What happened next?

Why doesn't she remember anything?

His eyes darted around, but there was no one in the room.

"Shen...cough cough cough...He...Shenhe..."

Jiang Yan's voice has become hoarse.

"Who's making all that noise so early in the morning?"

A mocking voice came from the balcony.

Jiang Yan turned her head and saw Shen He walking in through the gauze curtain, leaning against the bed and looking at her with a smile.

"What's wrong with me? Am I sick?" she asked in a hoarse voice, looking completely bewildered.

Shenhe waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't talk anymore, I can't understand you, it sounds like a duck quacking. Come on, just drink this and you'll be fine."

He took out a bottle of stamina recovery potion, opened it, and put it to Jiang Yan's lips. She drank it without hesitation.

Before the medicine could take effect, she saw Shenhe rub his lower back and walk out.

?

Shenhe stood on the corridor outside the second-floor house, leaning against the railing. The soldiers had gotten up early and were tidying up the weeds in the yard.

They ate so well yesterday, and today they're working even harder, as if they want to rebuild the courtyard.

Xu Zhenghui also got up early and left; he had to oversee all the affairs, big and small, in the ancient city.

After drinking the medicine and recovering, Jiang Yan walked out and stood next to Shenhe, looking at the soldiers below.

"What happened yesterday?"

She was still curious and unwilling to give up, so she wanted to ask.

Shenhe glanced at her, too embarrassed to say that she was drunk and sitting on her own face like a pillow, afraid that the girl was too shy and would jump into the well on the spot. He just said lightly, "You are not allowed to drink anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan pursed her lips and frowned. Could it be that she had a bad temper when drunk and was acting crazy? How embarrassing!

"I have to leave for a few days tomorrow, and I'll come back when Qiongzhou is being cleared out. Are you coming back with me?" Shenhe suddenly asked.

He was supposed to leave today, but Xu Zhenghui begged him to stay another day, saying that with his teleportation portal, the efficiency of clearing corpses could be multiplied several times. So he agreed.

There wasn't anything else important to do when I got back. I just missed Li Yuetong since I hadn't seen her for a few days, and I also wanted to activate Lin Xingran's special ability.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's heart tightened, her heart raced, her face paled, and she gripped the railing tighter.

She wanted to go with him, but she was worried about the base. Also, she hadn't figured out how to deal with a group of women; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it and things would get messy again.

But the thought of him leaving made her feel sad and suffocated.

People accustomed to pride, who never dare to bow their heads and ask for help, now had tears in their eyes, their voices soft and low, tinged with a cautious humility.

"I'll skip it for now... Could you... stay with me for two more days?"

These past two days have been the happiest time of her life.

She was so happy yesterday, but today he suddenly said he was leaving, which gave her a real shock.

Shenhe readily agreed, "Okay, then we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

If he can give Xu Zhenghui a day, why can't he give his woman a day? His eyes are so red they're practically brimming with tears.

"Ah! Really? Hiccup...hiccup..."

Jiang Yan was completely taken aback and hadn't even finished asking for help when she was choked up and started hiccuping.

Seeing Shenhe nod at her, Jiang Yan stopped crying and smiled, took his arm and hugged him tightly. She then kissed him on the cheek, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "You... hiccup... are so good... hiccup..."

Shenhe felt the softness on his arm and affectionately stroked her hair.

The next day, the two men and the soldiers cleaned the courtyard thoroughly.

Jiang Yan trimmed the garden branches according to her own aesthetic sense, tidying up the messy flower plants neatly.

During the conversation, we heard that there were vegetable seeds in Shenhe. Seven or eight soldiers whose hometowns were in the countryside volunteered to turn over the soil in their backyard vegetable garden and plant seasonal vegetables and fruits.

Even the swing with the broken rope was replaced with thicker hemp rope and the wooden frame was reinforced by the soldiers and put back up.

At noon, Shenhe insisted on inviting them to stay for lunch. The dozen or so soldiers couldn't refuse and enjoyed a hearty lunch before leaving.

Their goodwill towards Shenhe increased rapidly. When they went back and told their comrades, all the soldiers in the base spoke of Major General Shen with admiration and gave him a thumbs up.

After everyone left, the courtyard returned to quiet. Jiang Yan sat with Shenhe in the pavilion, chatting, drinking tea, and eating some snacks.

She lay quietly asleep in Shenhe's arms at night, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, as if he would disappear if she let go.

The next day, the Beichuan base was basically cleaned up and put into normal use. The base was now in dire need of manpower, so they broadcasted to the outside world, but they dared not guess how many survivors would hear it.

Xu Zhenghui arrived again at dinner time, followed by a truck carrying some daily necessities.

There are many supermarkets in the ancient city, and most of the supplies inside are still there, having all been swept away and centrally managed by the army.

In addition to supplies, there was also a sack of energy cores.

Xu Zhenghui said that most of it was given to the two of them, and the military kept only one-fifth for itself.

Shenhe glanced at them and saw that there were as many as 2,499 of them. That was quite a lot. It was all thanks to that zombie king he had never seen before who helped create so many first-tier zombies.

After delivering the goods and getting a free meal, Xu Zhenghui left, taking a bucket of loose goods with him as he went.

At night, Jiang Yan curled up in Shenhe's arms as usual, but she couldn't fall asleep. He was leaving tomorrow, and the thought of being apart for several days made her feel listless and dispirited.

"You're leaving... will you never come back?" she asked in a muffled voice, burying her face in his chest.

"Nonsense." Shenhe gently patted her back. "You're so good to me, how could I not come back? But you wouldn't come with me."

"You know my personality."

She rubbed against him, her voice muffled, "I always crane my neck and avoid looking people in the eye, afraid of upsetting them and making things difficult for you. Let's talk about it later, okay?"

"Okay, sure," Shenhe replied. "I'll be back in a couple of days. Besides, I have teleportation, so I can come see you anytime I miss you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan felt a little better and softly hummed in agreement.

The room fell silent, with only the sound of each other's breathing.

After a while, Jiang Yan suddenly rolled over onto Shenhe, pressing her body tightly against his.

Then, to Shenhe's astonishment, Jiang Yan wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

In the darkness, Jiang Yan's voice carried a hint of shyness and stubbornness, "You're leaving tomorrow, leaving me behind for several days. Tonight, I'm punishing you by not letting you sleep."

Shenhe chuckled upon hearing this, and was about to take the initiative when she gently pressed her shoulder down.

She looked up, her eyes reflecting the faint moonlight streaming in from the window, and whispered, "I can do it myself."

After speaking, he lowered his head, his long hair falling down and brushing against his chest.

In the middle of the night, the weather outside suddenly changed, and a strong wind made the leaves outside the window rustle.

A bolt of lightning cleaved the night sky, instantly illuminating the two figures embracing inside the house.

Thunder rumbled in quick succession, causing the windowpanes to tremble slightly.

"Boom!"

Large raindrops pounded down, pattering against the tiles.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

The white peonies in the yard bowed their heads in the rain, their pure white petals clustered around their delicate centers, standing proudly in the storm, breathtakingly beautiful.

The fierce wind lashed down on the flowers, causing the branches to sway in the wind. The fine raindrops pelted the petals, making the flowers appear even more vibrant.

The stormy night, with its thunder and lightning, lasted all night until the first light of dawn appeared in the east, and the fiery sun broke through the clouds. Only then did the wind gradually subside and the rain slowly stop.

The flowers and leaves in the yard were covered with glistening water droplets, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and grass.

The breathing in the bedroom was long and steady as the two snuggled together, still deep in sleep.
