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

"Oh my! Who is this? So cute!"

Li Yuetong caught a glimpse of Shen Qiangwei, who was peeking at her from Shenhe's shoulder, and her captivating peach blossom eyes instantly filled with burning affection.

With her soft, chubby face and fluffy, well-behaved bob haircut, this little girl was exactly the daughter she had always dreamed of—tiny and endearing.

Seeing her, my heart softened, and I subconsciously raised my hand, wanting to pat the little girl's head with joy.

"Whoosh!"

Sensing the approaching unfamiliar presence, Shen Qiangwei quickly pulled her head back behind Shenhe, her small hands tightly clutching the mutated fruit. The fruit instantly glowed faintly, and a hidden malevolent aura emanated from her.

"Hehe, is the little guy shy?"

Li Yuetong raised her eyebrows slightly and looked up at Shenhe River.

Shenhe sensed that Qiangwei wanted to attack Li Yuetong. He glanced at the clueless Li Yuetong and quickly tried to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, Rose. Come out and let Mommy see. She's Daddy's good friend, not an enemy."

"Huh? Mom...Mom? Dad?"

"You have children?"

Li Yuetong's mind went blank for a moment. She blinked in surprise, a bittersweet feeling welling up in her heart. She looked at Shenhe with pleading eyes and her red lips slightly pursed.

Shen Qiangwei slowly suppressed her hostility, then climbed up Shenhe's back to his shoulder, deftly bypassed him, and landed steadily on his forearm. Shenhe adjusted his posture and held the little girl in his arms.

Little Rose immediately buried her head in his warm neck, her clear almond eyes half-raised, looking warily and timidly at Li Yuetong, who was acting like a lovesick fool.

Li Yuetong's gaze was instantly drawn to Shen Qiangwei again.

Shenhe glanced at her sideways, his tone casual yet blunt, "Have you forgotten? When I slept with you, I was still Xiao Chunan."

Touched on her private past, Li Yuetong's face flushed red, and she gave a soft, embarrassed, and slightly reproachful rebuke.

"Oh dear! The child is still here, don't talk nonsense!"

Shenhe raised his hand and gently rubbed Shen Qiangwei's fluffy and soft bob hair.

The gentle touch instantly relaxed the little girl. She comfortably squinted her eyes and nestled obediently in his arms, as docile as a kitten being stroked.

"I found the rose in the park when I went out to look for mutated fruit."

Shenhe paused, a scene from a horror movie suddenly flashing through his mind: Shen Qiangwei hanging dozens of zombies upside down and absorbing their flesh and blood to evolve herself. He blinked and continued,

"When I found her, she was all alone, surrounded by dozens of zombies. If I hadn't arrived in time, those nasty zombies would have eaten her alive. I asked her where her parents were, but she wouldn't say anything. She was probably too scared to speak. Sigh!"

Shenhe spoke with great emotion and eloquence, his deep voice accompanied by a tender and loving gaze as he looked down at Qiangwei, patting her back repeatedly as if to comfort her.

"Her parents are probably gone too, otherwise she wouldn't be alone in the park. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her home. From now on, her name will be Shen Qiangwei, and she will be our daughter. We will raise her. Sigh!"

Shenhe was full of emotion, his pity and heartache intertwined. His expression, tone and actions were all meticulous, and his fabrication was so seamless that it sounded like his mother was telling the truth.

If Shen Qiangwei hadn't suddenly looked up at him with wide, bewildered eyes, staring at him blankly, he himself would have believed it.

"Waaah...so pitiful..."

Li Yuetong's heart clenched at the sound, her eyes instantly reddened, she covered her mouth and sobbed uncontrollably, large tears rolling down her cheeks. She moved forward, eager to reach out and hug this poor, lonely little girl.

Shen Qiangwei is indeed cute; she has a pleasing appearance, and she's well-behaved and doesn't cause trouble, making her very likable.

In reality, Shen Qiangwei was experiencing life for the first time and didn't know how to talk much, let alone what it meant to make a fuss.

Moreover, she is a flower, and naturally prefers quiet.

Shenhe secretly rejoiced as he watched Li Yuetong crying uncontrollably. Seeing that she wanted to hug Shen Qiangwei, but the little one wouldn't cooperate, he had no choice but to speak up.

"Little Rose, remember, this is your mother."

He looked down at the little girl in his arms, his tone solemn yet gentle, "Just like Daddy, she is the most important person in your life. Come here, let Mommy give you a hug."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuetong wiped away her tears, a gentle smile spreading across her eyes. Full of anticipation, she stretched out her arms, leaned down slightly, and prepared to embrace him.

Shen Qiangwei looked up at Shenhe with her almond-shaped eyes from in his arms. Seeing him nod in agreement, she slowly sat up, stretched out her two little arms towards Li Yuetong, and softly said, "Mama...Mama..."

"Oh! It's Mommy! From now on, I'll be your mommy, sob... The baby is so beautiful!"

"Muah! Muah! Muah!"

Li Yuetong took Shen Qiangwei from Li Yuetong and held the little dumpling in her arms. She was both happy and heartbroken, and kissed Shen Qiangwei's chubby little face several times.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiangwei's almond-shaped eyes lit up in Li Yuetong's arms. She rubbed her little face against Li Yuetong's chest several times and even took a deep sniff! It was soft, fluffy, and more comfortable than her father's chest!

Shenhe glared, roaring inwardly!

Holy crap! You wretched girl, that's my territory!

But Li Yuetong didn't care at all, and thought the little girl was just being affectionate with her, which made her very happy.

She had long wanted to have such a lovely daughter! Unfortunately... Mr. Shen has a health problem... which prevents her from getting pregnant. She'll find a doctor to treat him later.

Ignoring the two who had just become mother and daughter, Shenhe turned to look around. He wondered if the giant rats all recognized Li Yuetong, because not a single one of them had tried to attack them in the past two minutes.

He walked over to the nearest giant rat carcass, squatted down, and examined it carefully from head to toe.

After a few glances, I realized that these giant rats were just normal rats that had grown larger. Apart from their sharper teeth and claws, there was nothing else that had changed.

Looking at their plump bodies and strong limbs, aren't these all top-quality lean meat?

"system…?"

[Okay, host, starting the scan...]

[Data analysis in progress...]

[It's edible!]

It has a mild effect on strengthening the body!

Shenhe's eyes lit up. In the apocalypse, supplies are the most scarce resource!

Isn't this a type of recycled resource?

Do they carry bacteria? Infectious diseases?

[It has already become extinct during the evolutionary process]

All living things capable of evolution are perfect.

"Ojibako!"

When Shenhe looked up again at the mutated giant rats scurrying around the neighborhood, these ferocious creatures were no longer a threat to him, but meat products.

Like beef, mutton, chicken, duck, and pig.

He watched the chaotic scene of rats running and howling, and a strange sense of melancholy suddenly welled up in his heart.

Just then, Li Yuetong walked up to him, carrying Shen Qiangwei in her arms.

"Tongtong, Zhang Ran and the others... do they still have complete bodies?" Shenhe's eyes were deep, and he had his own thoughts.

After all, they were among his first teammates in the apocalypse. If they could leave with their bodies intact, he would cover them with a blanket as a token of his loyalty. As for burial, he would leave it at that.

I still have to dig the hole, it's tiring...

"What are you saying? They're not dead!"

"About ten minutes ago, I had them drive a truck to Donghe Park to find you."

Shenhe turned his head and looked at her calmly.

"so…"

"They abandoned you and left?"
