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

Without the pollution of neon lights and car exhaust, the sky has returned to the clean and clear state it was in my childhood, and I can see countless stars again when I look up.

The Milky Way, which had been missing for a long time, has reappeared before people's eyes.

The meal lasted for three hours, until the moon hung high in the sky, its light illuminating the courtyard, and Shenhe's table was still not empty.

Only Shenhe, Xu Zhenghui, Zhao Xinduo's father Zhao Guodong, Li Yuetong's father Li Jing'an, Jiang Manluo's father Jiang Siyuan, Zhang Ran, and Tang Dashan remained in the courtyard.

At the table, Shenhe and Xu Zhenghui were the main conversationalists, while the others kept each other company, raising their glasses and occasionally chiming in.

Everyone else had already gone back to their rooms to rest.

Several pilots and Zheng Yong from the hospital ate their fill early and left. They had missions every day and couldn't drink alcohol. Xu Zhenghui's guards sat far away on the veranda, their backs ramrod straight.

"Uncle Xu, does the base have enough manpower right now?"

Shenhe picked up a peanut and popped it into his mouth. It crunched crisply, and the more he ate, the drier his throat became. No wonder it's a great snack to have with alcohol.

"Not enough! This is far from enough! Of the people who came today, I recruited some militiamen. After training them, they will be needed to search for supplies. Most of them are unwilling to take risks, so they can only do manual labor in the base in exchange for supplies."

In the current situation, no matter how large the population is, it won't be enough. I plan to build another wall around the existing land and use the newly enclosed land for farmland and sustainable development. This will require a large number of people.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow, we're preparing to bomb Qiongzhou City. After most of the zombies are cleared out, many survivors should take the opportunity to escape."

After Xu Zhenghui finished speaking, he took a sip of wine, his eyes full of longing. As long as he could enclose another layer of land for farming, the annual harvest could be balanced, and he wouldn't have to live off his savings. Only then would the base be truly established.

Upon hearing that this wasn't enough, Shenhe realized that the plan he had conceived back in Hanzhou City would have to be put into practice.

He now has the ability to protect himself, and the people around him are all highly capable. It's not impossible for him to help the world without threatening his own safety.

Since he needed manpower, he decided to go and rescue the survivors from Hanzhou City, since that was his hometown.

On the one hand, he can kill zombies to upgrade his team's level, and on the other hand, he can collect people to replenish the Beichuan base. As long as the Beichuan base is impregnable, he and his family can live there without worry!

He belongs to the upper echelons of the Beichuan base. The hard work he put in in the early stages to save more people was also to provide him with better service!

"Uncle Xu,"

He looked up at Xu Zhenghui and said, "Get me a few transport helicopters tomorrow. I'll go back to Hanzhou and see if I can save some people, as many as I can."

Xu Zhenghui's eyes lit up instantly. He slapped his thigh, his face full of satisfaction. "Shenhe, I knew you were a responsible guy! This is a great deed!"

For the people, for the country! You saved all three thousand people today! If it weren't for you, who knows how many more would have died.

From now on, you don't need to ask me for permission for this. Just take whatever personnel, materials, or equipment you want from the base.

If there's a dangerous job that requires my life, I, Xu Zhenghui, guarantee to be at the forefront with a gun!

He laughed heartily, his voice echoing through the eaves.

Look, that's what perspective means.

This is why Shenhe was willing to settle down at the Beichuan base; Xu Zhenghui was too good at manipulating him.

His personality is such that he responds better to gentleness than force; he likes people who are obedient and go along with his wishes.

Upon hearing Xu Zhenghui's words, everyone else at the table burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhao Guodong stood up and served Xu Zhenghui a bowl of sauerkraut soup. "There's no need for you to carry a gun! Here, Mr. Xu, have some hot soup to warm your stomach. Let me tell you, Shenhe loves my sauerkraut soup the most; it's appetizing and goes well with rice!"

Jiang Siyuan also stood up, picked up the wine pot to refill Xu Zhenghui's cup, his smile gentle and neither humble nor arrogant.

"Exactly! You and Shenhe just need to set the general direction; we'll do the carrying the guns and charging ahead, haha!"

Li Jing'an wasn't good at saying nice things, so he quietly moved all the dishes that Xu Zhenghui liked but were a bit far away in front of him, and even took some of the cold dishes to the kitchen to reheat them before bringing them back.

Xu Zhenghui laughed heartily at the three men's flattery, "I'm not in business, why are you calling me 'General Manager Xu'?"

Zhao Guodong quickly chimed in, "Haha! Commander-in-Chief Xu is also a commander-in-chief. Look, these roasted dried red chilies are crushed and sprinkled into the soup. One bite and it's sour and spicy. Add a couple of slices of pork belly and blood sausage, and it's absolutely amazing!"

Xu Zhenghui took the soup bowl, smiled and sighed, "I'm very familiar with sauerkraut soup. When I was in the army, I loved to soak rice in sauerkraut soup in winter. A hot bowl of it would warm me up from head to toe."

"Then I'll get you a bowl!" Tang Dashan, who was sitting across from him, couldn't sit still any longer. Hearing this, he got up and ran to the kitchen.

"Hey! No need! I was just talking about my old preferences." Xu Zhenghui gestured, he really didn't want to eat, he was already full from all the food on the table.

Shenhe reached out and pressed down on his arm. "Uncle Xu, let him serve it. Drinking and eating only will make you hungry at night. Eating some carbohydrates will make you feel better."

Xu Zhenghui shook his head helplessly. "Alright, Shenhe, your whole family are wonderful people, but you don't need to be so polite with me in the future. We're all family, so don't stand on ceremony."

Shenhe smiled, "It's their first time eating with you. With a position as high-ranking as you, who wouldn't be a little overbearing? They won't be like that once they get to know you. Look at me, I'm never polite with you. It's fine if you don't eat, or if you don't, it's not a big deal. If you don't eat, I can save some money. Let's have one last drink, cheers!"

Xu Zhenghui listened in a daze, but felt comfortable. He was a straightforward person who didn't like flattery and preferred Shenhe's directness.

But his fathers-in-law were also good. Although they respected him, they didn't fawn over him. They were just there to visit, and the hosts were hospitable, which he appreciated!

"Cheers! Let's go home and sleep after this!"

"Cheers!"

"Dinner's here!"

After finishing their rice soaked in sauerkraut soup, Xu Zhenghui, accompanied by his guards, left carrying several buckets of loose goods.

After seeing Xu Zhenghui off, the group returned to the table. Shenhe, seeing his three fathers-in-law chatting at home, couldn't sit still after a few words. Why not go back and hug his sweet and soft wife instead of spending time with a few old men?

"Dads, you keep chatting, I'll head back now," Shenhe said with a smile as he stood up and left.

Their daughters are all his now, so it doesn't matter if they call him "Dad." Little did he know that he didn't have a father when he was a child, and that he would find several more when he grew up.

The three fathers stared blankly at the same son-in-law for a moment, as this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Zhao Guodong snapped out of his daze and waved to him. Without any ceremony, he called out to Shenhe's son, "Old son, go on, go on. I'll clean up here myself in a bit. Zhang Ran, you should go back too. Your wife is pregnant. Dashan too. Come on, let's get to know each other better."

He had long wanted Shenhe to be his son-in-law, and now that his wish had come true, the only problem was that Shenhe had too many fathers-in-law.

The other two fathers-in-law smiled and nodded to Shenhe. Their son-in-law was a big shot, so it was perfectly fine for him to have more women.

That's the only way they could comfort themselves.
