The End of the World: Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you

Chapter 7 Main Mission
Shen Yan blinked suddenly, it seemed that it was not an illusion.
Then he almost couldn't help himself and jumped up from where he was in excitement.

But when he saw the next prompt from the system, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

[System is starting]

【System startup failed.】

[The host needs to complete the mainline pre-task before opening the system]

[Main line pre-task description: 404, please explore on your own]

"What the hell!"

Shen Yan’s eyes went dark.

It's no problem to complete the main quest, but you have to at least let me know what the quest is about, right?

The panel just said that it detected that the system was in crisis, so does resolving the crisis complete the main task?

But what is the crisis?
"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

The woman outside the door continued shouting.

Shen Yan came back to his senses, but did not rush to open the door. Instead, he looked out through the peephole.

The person knocking on the door was a teenage girl, the neighbor downstairs, young, beautiful, and slim.
But Shen Yan has never been interested in young girls.

There was blood on her neck, obviously she was bitten by a zombie.

In other words, she will soon become a zombie.

"She is the source of the crisis?"

"Yes, if it was according to the normal script, I would let her in, take good care of her, and then she would suddenly attack and bite me."

"But if we just leave it alone, wouldn't it be too negative? What if we can't complete the main mission?"

"And if she keeps screaming, it might attract more zombies."

Shen Yan thought about this.

He gritted his teeth, went to the kitchen, picked up a handy kitchen knife, put it behind his back, and returned to the door.

"Is something wrong?"

The security door opened a crack, and Shen Yan said cautiously.

When the girl saw the door open, she was stunned for a moment, then she said with surprise: "Thank you, thank you for taking me in."

She is really beautiful, and her charming look when asking for help makes people unconsciously want to protect her.

But unfortunately, Shen Yan really only likes mature women.
"If you get bitten by someone, you'll soon become a zombie."

Shen Yan shook his head, showing no intention of letting her in.

"Ah? Then what should I do?"

The girl was terrified, then she seemed to remember something, pursed her lips, and said pitifully, "You will help me, right? As long as you help me, I will do anything you ask me to do."

In her mind, what she hinted at was so obvious.

Any normal man in front of her would definitely take her in, right?

After all, from childhood to adulthood, no one can resist her beauty.

Don't look at her young age. As long as the man in front of her lets her in, she has the confidence that she can tame him completely.

"Okay, then close your eyes."

Close your eyes?

No, isn't this too hasty?
The girl complained in her heart, but still cooperated and closed her eyes.

Shen Yan's eyes calmed down for a moment.

The next second, he swung the kitchen knife without hesitation and chopped at the girl's neck.

Pfft!

Blood gushed out, staining the white walls red.

Shen Yan didn't know that this was a girl who looked pure in appearance but had a dirty heart.

But he knew very well in his heart that in this cruel doomsday, any indecision would not lead to survival.

"Okay, I'm helping you. At least you won't turn into a zombie."

After looking at the body on the ground, Shen Yan silently closed the door. This was his first time killing someone, but as a surgical student, he found himself calmer than he thought.

Neither sad nor happy, it was like I had done something very ordinary.

Of course, it is also possible that he witnessed the death of his parents when he was young, and his personality has been like this for a long time.

If it weren't for the warm light from Aunt Qing, he would probably be a cold-blooded bastard.

Shake your head and stop thinking about this.

Shen Yan silently went to the sink to wash his hands, then opened the system panel with an expectant look on his face.

"I bought a watch last year!"

The column for the main task is still in the 404 state where you have to figure it out on your own!
No, are you kidding me?
I have resolved the crisis I encountered, so why haven’t I completed the mission yet?
Or was it that he was wrong from the beginning, and the main quest had nothing to do with the crisis at all?

What is the main mission?
Just give me a hint!
Shen Yan was quite speechless. In other people's novels, when you just bind the system, you are given a novice gift pack or something. Not only did he get nothing, he also had to figure it out on his own.

Really impressed!
"Xiao Yan, did anyone knock on the door just now?"

Aunt Qing heard the noise and came out of the bedroom.

In fact, although she did not go out all night last night, there was such chaos outside the window, the screams of humans, the roars of zombies, and she herself had such a thing happen, so naturally she could not fall asleep.

I watched the news almost all night and understood the great changes in the world.

It was not until the morning that she began to feel drowsy, but she was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Ah."

Shen Yan said without turning his head, the blood on his hands was almost washed clean.

When he was interning in the emergency department, he often encountered blood. In his experience, it was easier to clean blood stains with cold water.

"Has the person knocking on the door left?"

"Um"

Shen Yan didn't want to tell Aunt Qing the truth.

But on second thought, in this cruel doomsday, killing is absolutely inevitable. Is he going to keep it secret forever?

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, and said anxiously: "She was bitten and may turn into a zombie at any time, so I will kill her."

Will Aunt Qing think he is too cold-blooded?
Shen Yan was quite nervous, and looked a bit like a child who had done something wrong.

There was no way, he really cared about Aunt Qing's feelings.

"what?"

Aunt Qing covered her mouth.

When Shen Yan saw this scene, he became even more nervous: "Aunt Qing, do you think I'm going too far?"

How could Aunt Qing, such a gentle woman, accept him killing someone?

Xia Wanqing didn't answer this question. When she came back to her senses, there was still a hint of anger on her face: "Why didn't you wake me up just now?"

It’s over, Aunt Qing is really angry.

Shen Yan stuttered as he explained: "It was an emergency just now, I, I was afraid of disturbing you."

"excuse!"

Okay, that's an excuse.
Shen Yan lowered his head, a little afraid to speak.

In Aunt Qing's mind, her brazen murder was definitely an unforgivable mistake.

"Do you know how dangerous zombies are?"

"Ok?"

"Next time you encounter something like this, don't be so stubborn. I will face it with you."

"what?"

"Do you really think that I am a powerless woman? After such a big incident, how long can you resist it?"

"what??"

"Don't do it again. You must be hungry. I'll go make you some food."

so.
I have completely misunderstood. Aunt Qing no longer blames him for killing someone, but is afraid that he will encounter danger?

Shen Yan reacted and followed with a look of surprise: "Aunt Qing, I will help you."
