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

"Huh? What's going on?"

The room suddenly went dark, causing Shenhe to let out a surprised gasp. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the window, wanting to see what had happened.

The originally white clouds looked as if they had been poured with ink mixed with yeast, and in an instant they turned into dark clouds, which grew larger and larger, blocking out the sunshine!

"Waaaaah~~"

Just moments ago, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle, but in the blink of an eye, the weather changed drastically. Dark clouds surged in, a gale arose, howling and whipping up dust and fallen leaves from the ground. Trees were blown about, their branches and leaves dancing wildly.

"Splash splash splash splash~~"

Daytime suddenly turned into night!

Shenhe got out of bed and went to the window. A strong wind howled past, causing the open wooden window frame to creak and rattle. The glass in the window trembled incessantly, and the fabric of his pajamas whipped together, making a crisp cracking sound.

"What happened?"

"Why did the weather suddenly change?"

"Close the windows quickly!"

A few questions drifted through the strong wind; clearly, the others in the courtyard were also confused, and they all got up to close the windows.

Shenhe then discovered that although his system panel had changed to level nine, his body had not gained any energy.

"System, what's going on? I just want to upgrade my ability, do I really have to undergo a tribulation?!"

The thought of being struck by lightning terrified him. He wasn't a cultivator; he didn't have any magical artifacts to withstand the tribulation of lightning!

The energy required for the ninth rank is enormous; the body cannot withstand it if it is directly injected into it. It can only be slowly injected into your body from the outside, without having to be struck by lightning.

Remember to go outside and receive energy later!

As soon as the system finished speaking, a three-minute countdown appeared on the panel in front of Shenhe!

Shenhe exclaimed, "Wow! Such a big fuss!"

Is ninth-tier really that powerful?! I can't wait!

"Squeak~~"

Hearing the door open, Shenhe turned around and saw Li Yuetong push the door open and walk in.

She wore a white cropped t-shirt with off-the-shoulder design and beige wide-leg yoga pants.

Her outfit was clean and neat, yet it accentuated her figure perfectly, highlighting her full and firm breasts, slender waist, rounded buttocks, and long, straight legs.

"Oh? You're home? I was just about to come and close the window for you. The weather changes so fast."

When Li Yuetong saw Shenhe at home, her beautiful eyes lit up. She loved being with Shenhe the most.

She walked up to Shenhe, her body emitting a sweet fragrance, and took his arm. Shenhe naturally put his arm around her slender waist in return.

Li Yuetong's mind went blank upon hearing this. She turned to look at him with a pained expression, her eyes instantly filling with tears.

"You're about to undergo a tribulation of lightning?!"

Those of us who have read the novel can attest to how incredibly similar the howling winds and thunderous lightning outside are!

Especially that lightning!

Purple, red, green, gold, all sorts of colors alternated repeatedly, not a single normal color, it looked really scary!

If we get through this, great; but what if… ptooey!

"Don't worry, it's not a tribulation of lightning. I'm not a cultivator. It's just that this time the level is higher, and the energy is probably too great, so it will take a little longer."

Li Yuetong burst into tears, her voice soft and nasal, "High rank? What rank?"

Shenhe's tone was somewhat arrogant, "Ninth Rank!"

Although he relied on the system, he also genuinely killed zombies and put in a lot of effort; it was pure hard work!

Li Yuetong said innocently, "It's quite tall."

My god, ninth rank! No wonder he's her man!

At that moment, a deafening thunderclap exploded outside, and a crack appeared in the sky, from which a large amount of silver light poured out. From afar, it resonated with the energy surging within Shenhe's body and drifted towards him!

There are less than thirty seconds left in the countdown.

"I'm going out now. Don't worry about me, I'll be safe. Oh, and wait for me in my room!"

After Shenhe finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips, then teleported to the sky!

He spoke his last sentence with great seriousness. He didn't know if he could control such a large amount of energy, so he asked Li Yuetong to prepare in advance.

Li Yuetong bit her lip shyly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Shenhe, who had already made contact with the "silver gauze" in the air. After thinking it over, she felt that things might not end well today, so she quickly turned around and ran out to inform her sisters!

As the saying goes, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. We're all comrades-in-arms, so we can't let her be the only one to take the bullets!

In the corridor, Li Yuetong began calling for people!

"Zhi'en, Xingran, Duoduo, Luoluo, Yanyan, come out quickly! Something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing her shout, chaos erupted in several rooms; they had never seen their eldest sister so flustered before!

One by one, the doors opened, and five different types of stunningly beautiful people walked out with serious expressions!

They had noticed the unusual weather outside long ago, but their supernatural abilities hadn't revealed anything. Now that their eldest sister was urgently calling out, all the women assumed that she had discovered a secret!

"Sister Tongtong, what's wrong? Is there some high-level monster that we need to fight together?"

Zhao Xinduo's face was tense, her fighting spirit palpable.

The other women also kept a close eye on Li Yuetong. They were all family, and they would share hardships together, so they weren't afraid.

Li Yuetong recounted Shenhe's advancement, especially emphasizing his final words of advice and her conjectures. The women listened in stunned silence, exchanging glances, their faces flushed and hearts pounding.

"Ninth rank, Brother Shen is so amazing."

"Ninth rank? How did you reach that?"

"As expected of the man I, Jiang Manluo, have chosen. Don't worry, big sister, I'll do everything in my power to protect everyone, hehehe~"

"Sisters united, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Li Yuetong nodded with a sigh of relief and took out a bunch of stamina recovery potions from her spatial storage and distributed them to the group.

"Go back inside and get ready."

……

"Boom—! Rumble rumble rumble rumble—!"

Inside the base, people who were working and queuing to register suddenly looked up and gazed at the distant sky.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

"Go report immediately!"

That was the most scenic spot in the base, but suddenly the weather changed. Dark clouds collided, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce wind raged, plunging the area into darkness!

The bad weather quickly spread to the city gate; darkness fell and a strong wind suddenly descended.

The tents were flapping loudly in the wind, papers on the table were flying everywhere, and people in line were being blown about, unable to open their eyes. Fortunately, it was just a sudden gust, and they got used to it. This was just the edge of the area.

Xu Zhenghui walked out of his office, shielding his eyes from the wind with his arm, and frowned as he looked in the direction of Shenhe's house.

"Shenhe? Has it been upgraded?"

He recognized the figure shrouded in silver light in the air at a glance.

Xu Zhenghui turned to the guards and gave them instructions.

"Go, take some people to cordon off the scene, keep your distance, and no one is allowed to approach or disturb the area."

"yes!"
