Stunned

"Alright, before the apocalypse, I stayed at your place for a while. In such times, one should repay kindness. Why don't you both come with me? Stay at my shelter for a couple of days. If you decide to stay, I'll arrange a place for you outside the city. If you don't want to stay, I'll send you back. What do you think?" Alex looked at his still-stunned uncle and aunt, smiling as he spoke.

Alex's smile appeared sincere and friendly, as if he had transformed into a different person compared to moments ago. One moment he seemed like a devil, and the next, like an angel. It was unpredictable, evoking awe and admiration.

"Siao... Alex, is your shelter far from here? Although I'm not afraid of zombies, your aunt is just an ordinary person. If it's far, I'm afraid it might be dangerous..." Siao Mu's voice trembled as he spoke, cautiously glancing at Alex's expression, fearing to offend his younger cousin and end up losing his head for some inexplicable reason.
