Shen Chen slowly calmed down. He sighed faintly. Then, with a light flick of his right hand, the girl’s body gradually fell limp. Shen Chen placed the girl’s head on her body and slowly stood up.

“Perhaps you all know now that this world is different from before. Everyone who dies will turn into zombies and attack those who are living. Aside from that, don’t get caught by zombies, because you’ll end up the same way. Good luck to you all.”

After he said this, Shen Chen headed to the door with vigorous strides. Everyone subconsciously stepped aside to make a path for him as he walked.

Clatter. The roll-up door was pushed open. The first light of dawn shined in, seeming to set a veil of light on Shen Chen’s face. Shen Chen looked at the wandering zombies in the distant streets, then calmly turned back and ordered, “Let’s go.”

“Alright!”

“Yes, Shen Chen!”

Boss and Ye Xiaoyu followed him without hesitation, welcoming the first rays of sunlight.

“Wait a moment!”

Ye Xiaoyu and Zhao Zhen turned around. They saw that Fang Yi had parted through the crowd and was now shouting pitifully, “Shen Chen, you’re my boyfriend. Why aren’t you bringing me with you?”

Ye Xiaoyu’s heart was in her mouth. Zhao Zhen also watched Shen Chen with a frown. He knew how much Shen Chen loved Fang Yi, but the moment Fang Yi was faced with danger, she flagrantly called a fatty her husband and only later suddenly recalled that Shen Chen was her boyfriend. ‘This woman is way too shameless.’

Shen Chen’s gaze slowly fell on Fang Yi, then he said coolly, ‘Go!” Without taking another glance at Fang Yi, Shen Chen coldly turned around.

The radiance in her eyes was instantly extinguished. In despair, Yang Yi watched the three of them leave in despair and fell to the ground.

…

On the way back, Shen Chen didn’t rub anymore zombie blood on himself. Instead, he found a car and drove back with grand fanfare. Based on Shen Chen’s experiences in his previous life, he knew zombies had less acute vision and hearing during the day and liked to rest in dark corners, so he didn’t need to worry.

Boss leaned against the back seat, letting out a long sigh. “Second, the world has changed. I feel like people will change, too, in the future.”

“Jungle rule. Survival of the fittest… That’s what you want to say.” Shen Chen watched the broken roads in front of them, crashing into some zombies, and said slowly, “I’m not a saint, but I feel like, as a living human, we should at least… have a bottom line of morality.”

…

When Shen Chen, Boss, and Ye Xiaoyu walked into the hotel room covered in blood, Zhao Ze and the others were gathered in the living room. Each of them had a bowl of ramen in their hands, enjoying their meal. Guo Yuan was chattering happily with Pan Di. The moment they saw Shen Chen, the two of them subconsciously sat up tall.

When she saw Boss, Zhang Xiaoya screamed, then after a few seconds of stupor, quickly put down her ramen and ran into Boss’s arms.

Pan Di and Guo Yuan also went up to him. “Boss!”

“I’m so glad, Boss!”

Guo Yuan and Pan Di weren’t fools. Shen Chen had been out for the whole night, and when he returned, all three of them were covered in blood. It was apparent what a rough night they had had. They quickly received the three, and Zhang Xiaoya immediately pushed her ramen to Boss. “Zhao Zhen, hurry up and eat something!”

The others moved away in disdain. Zhao Ze smiled mockingly and purposely slurped his noodles loudly.

Shen Chen’s gaze scanned everyone. His brows furrowed unconsciously. ‘Ramen. Food.’ He remembered that when he left earlier, he had clearly ordered Guo Yuan not to give them any food, but Zhao Ze was flaunting some at Shen Chen.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t give me anything to eat? But I’m eating what I wanted. And it was your friend who took the food you hid away and gave it to me! You don’t have as much authority as you think!” His feelings were precisely conveyed to Shen Chen.

Shen Chen narrowed his eyes. He didn’t believe Guo Yuan would betray him right after he ordered him about the food.

Zhao Ze’s actions were done to purposely incite conflict between the brothers. Shen Chen walked past everyone and sat in the center of the table. “Xiaoyu and Boss, go take a shower later. Change into some clean clothes and throw out all your old ones.” His tone was calm. He didn’t pay any mind to Zhao Ze.

“Alright, Shen Chen!” Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.
