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

From a distance, clothes were neatly piled up on the bank, and a slender figure sat in the river under the small bridge.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her fair shoulders, the ends of which floated on the water's surface, swaying gently with the waves.

She had her back to him, exuding an aura of dominance.

But her back view exuded an indescribable loneliness. Her head was slightly lowered, and she remained motionless, which made people feel sorry for her.

Shenhe lifted his leg and walked towards the riverbank.

Jiang Yan's face was flushed, and her mind kept replaying the scene of the day Shenhe left.

The large courtyard was alright during the day; the occasional sounds of people coming from the base made it not too deserted.

But at night, she was left alone to eat and sleep. The wind rustled the surrounding grass and trees, and she couldn't fall asleep until the latter half of the night.

"I haven't seen him for a day and a half... I miss him so much."

Jiang Yan was still talking to herself when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Her face turned pale instantly. She hadn't even noticed that someone was coming. It was too late to grab her clothes. If she went out now, she would be seen naked. She might as well be dead!

Her body suddenly sank into the water, leaving only her head above the surface. Just as she was about to use her telekinesis to strike the person behind her, she heard a familiar voice, "Yanyan, don't be afraid, it's me."

Jiang Yan turned her head in surprise, but didn't turn her body. When she saw that the person standing on the shore was indeed Shen He, her eyes lit up with joy. She didn't care about anything else and turned around to stand up from the water and waded towards the shore.

"Shenhe River!"

She waded to the shore, reached out and hugged him tightly. Shenhe also embraced her and held her in his arms. When their skin touched, it was cool from the river water.

Jiang Yan looked up at him, her eyes a little red. All the grievances and longing she had accumulated over the past two days melted away when she saw him.

"You really came to see me..."

She finished speaking with a sob in her voice, then wrapped her arms around his neck, tilted her pretty face up, and kissed him with a heart full of longing.

God knows how much she suffered these past two days.

Their lips met, and they lingered for a long time before reluctantly parting. Jiang Yan blushed and took a half-step back, gazing at him with adoration.

"What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

After the initial ambiguity subsided, Jiang Yan, now in a state of heightened intelligence, realized that it wasn't time to clean up Qiongzhou City yet.

Shenhe stretched out his hand and activated his telekinetic ability. The clothes on the shore floated towards him. He picked them up and draped them over Jiang Yan's body, then pulled her closer to his arms.

"Something's come up. I'm planning to bring the people from the orphanage here to live permanently. The situation over there is unstable, so it's safer here. I was worried you might not feel comfortable suddenly seeing such a large family, so I came to tell you in advance."

As Shenhe spoke, his gaze swept over Jiang Yan, a hint of amusement in his voice, "It's a good thing I came..."

Jiang Yan's face flushed crimson, and she clutched the hem of her clothes. "Has everyone come and stayed here all this time?"

A sweet feeling welled up inside her; she would be able to see him every day from now on.

"Yes." Shenhe nodded.

She was genuinely happy, but also a little reluctant to leave their time together. Jiang Yan blushed, looked up, bit her lower lip, and whispered, "I miss you."

Shenhe gently touched her burning cheeks with his palm, said nothing, and simply picked her up and carried her to the pavilion in the courtyard.

There's a stone table there, a great place to enjoy tea.

……

The orphanage, under the camphor tree.

The whole family stood in a row under the sun. Everyone was here, and they had all packed their luggage. Each person had two suitcases in front of them.

In front of Shen's mother were six children.

They had been standing there for twenty minutes, listening to the roars of the zombies outside the courtyard, their faces practically dripping with oil.

Su Mingyue looked at Li Yuetong, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "Daughter, where is your son-in-law?"

Everyone turned to look at Li Yuetong.

Li Yuetong frowned. "I didn't tell him! He didn't tell me either!"

Li Jing'an glanced at the mother and daughter, and for the first time spoke up for Shenhe, "Maybe he went to Beichuan. With so many of us going, shouldn't the base make some arrangements? They have their own rules. Even if Shenhe is a general, he still has to report to his superiors."

What he said made sense, and everyone in the row nodded.

Mrs. Shen's eyes lingered in the yard, wanting to take one last look at the home she had lived in for decades before leaving. Suddenly, she remembered the vegetables in the backyard garden, turned to the others, and said, "Why don't we go and harvest the vegetables in the garden before Shenhe comes back? It'll just be a waste if we don't."

"Yes, yes, yes... let's go, let's go."

"I forgot about the vegetable garden! We'll harvest the vegetables while we wait."

The people standing in a row threw down their suitcases and walked towards the backyard. They originally intended to store these suitcases in Li Yuetong's space, but then they thought that they would be there after walking through the teleportation portal, so there was no need to store them and it would be too much trouble.

Happiness Garden Inn!

They drank three pots of tea in the pavilion, but with business to attend to, they didn't linger.

Jiang Yan was already quite content. Their traces were everywhere in the courtyard. When other people came, they couldn't be as free as they were.

Just thinking about it made her secretly curl the corners of her lips as if she had gotten a good deal.

"Shenhe, could you come back in half an hour after you go back? I want to make some preparations here."

While fixing her hair, Jiang Yan discussed the matter with Shenhe, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shenhe didn't think much of it, assuming Jiang Yan wanted to tidy up. "Of course you can. I came here so you could prepare. I'll go back and check how it is now, and come back in half an hour."

"Um!"

Watching Shenhe's figure disappear from the spot, Jiang Yan pursed her lips and walked out of the pavilion.

The next second, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her whole body soared into the air, flying towards the ancient city.

When Shenhe returned to the orphanage, everyone was squatting in the backyard picking vegetables, working enthusiastically. He didn't say anything, but rolled up his sleeves and went over to lend a hand.

No one asked him where he went. Li Jing'an's words were reasonable, and everyone assumed that he had gone to the base to make arrangements.

The vegetables were growing vigorously, and it took more than ten people nearly forty minutes to harvest them all. In the end, they were all stuffed into Li Yuetong's space.

After washing their hands, everyone returned to the courtyard. The orphanage gate was unlocked; Mama Shen explained that if anyone fleeing for their lives happened to pass by, they could at least come in and rest.

With everything ready, Shenhe snapped his fingers.

Location: Happiness Garden Inn, across the small bridge.

A shimmering silver portal slowly opened in front of everyone.

As usual, Shenhe was the first to step inside.

After entering, he was stunned for a moment. On the system map, there were more than twenty green dots in the courtyard.

He looked up and crossed the small bridge towards the main entrance of the inn. On either side of the entrance stood two soldiers, fully armed and in neat uniforms, with upright postures.

Shenhe's lips tightened slightly, but a smile spread across his eyes.

He wanted to see what Jiang Yan had secretly prepared.

The original intention of landing at the small bridge was to take everyone on a leisurely stroll inside and show them the entire inn. However, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, giving Jiang Yan a complete and memorable entrance.

At this moment, Li Yuetong and her group also walked out of the teleportation portal one after another, and were immediately attracted by the scenery in front of them.

With its upturned eaves, green tiles, white walls, garden layout with small bridges and flowing water, lush vegetation, and subtle fragrance of flowers, the garden is a beautiful sight.

The elegant scenery of the South is a rare sight in the North, and the crowd was overwhelmed with admiration, exclaiming in wonder.
