The first ray of morning sunlight shone upon Duong Quang Apartments.
The hen didn't crow. If it crowed, it would indicate a problem with the hen's ovary, developing towards maleness.
With summer vacation starting, the children played happily downstairs. Luong Vien, who used to be a kindergarten teacher, accompanied them, leading them in some interesting little games.
Residential area, outside the iron railings.
Co Hang dodged, the straight saber in his hand glinting with blade light. Pfft! The blade pressed against the zombie's neck; the sharp blade very easily cut off the zombie's head. The round head bounced on the ground; the severed neck spurted sticky blood.
"Bro Hang, your technique is getting more and more exquisite."
Lam Pham stood aside watching. Early in the morning, was dragged out by Bro Hang, wanting him to find a zombie for him to practice on. Such a simple request, definitely agreed. Just catching a zombie, not a troublesome matter.
Vuong Khai, A Hai, Ha Vinh, Dai Vu, Chu Dinh and the others leaned on the iron railing, eyes unblinking, watching. Seeing Co Hang cut off the zombie's head, mouths agape in shock.
"Bro Hang! Truly formidable!"
Looking, it seemed very simple. Wasn't it just swinging a saber, lightly severing the zombie's head? But they knew if it were really that simple, humans wouldn't possibly be pushed to a desperate situation by zombies.
"A straight saber that absorbed a total of four crystals' energy, actually so sharp! Even simpler than when slaying zombies last time! Didn't feel any resistance whatsoever!"
Co Hang gently touched the straight saber that decapitated the zombie, joy appearing in his eyes. This was a kind of human progress. Saying humans, with clear eyes, can rely on weapons in hand, borrowing zombie crystal energy to fight against zombies.
The only difficult problem was, obtaining crystals very hard.
Lam Pham said, "The energy within crystals can enhance a weapon's sharpness. This straight saber's sharpness level has increased a lot. Just like my Frostmourne, I can feel its sharpness, but just haven't improved for a long time."
He drew Frostmourne from his back. Under the sunlight's illumination, it glinted with cold, dazzling silver light. When first obtained, Frostmourne was very handsome, but far from reaching its current appearance.
The divine artifact, heavy with evil karma, under his guidance, walked the path of righteous radiance.
"You say, what is the limit of crystals for a weapon?" Co Hang asked. Also, like Lam Pham's Frostmourne in hand, besides himself, other people fundamentally couldn't lift.
Could it be, when a weapon absorbs enough crystals, a qualitative change occurs, thereby appearing with unimaginable changes?
This was a bewildered path. Someone was walking it, but also merely exploring. Specifics how, no one knew.
Lam Pham shook his head, "I also don't know."
Co Hang said, "Little Pham, can you help me catch a Strength-type zombie? I want to try. Hung Ung told me about their situation killing a Strength-type zombie. Received extremely strong impact, weapon in hand didn't gain too great an advantage, ended up being a battle of endurance. But I want to try."
He understood this wasn't a wise choice.
Hung Ung and Diep Hong's combat experience, much richer than his. But some paths must be walked. If can personally experience it a bit, feel the difficulty within, will be extremely helpful for facing evolved-form zombies in the future.
"Okay. I'll go out and look first. Bro Hang, you guys go back first," Lam Pham said.
Evolved-form zombies weren't something one could find just by wanting.
Felt surrounding evolved-form zombies were pretty much cleared by him. Wanting to encounter more evolved-form zombies, then had to continue deeper into the city.
...
Street.
Lam Pham walked on the quiet street, looking at the surrounding environment: lonely, solitary, desolate. Wind blew, stirring up dust on the ground. Using Duong Quang Apartments as the center, swept clean a very large safe area.
Even if zombies appear, merely scattered ones wandering over; wouldn't appear as a zombie tide in droves.
Passing that street, stopped at the shop, looked up. Didn't see Tung Tung, didn't see Tung Tung's mother. Ears could hear Tung Tung's gloomy sounds, also weak breathing sounds.
He didn't disturb. Sometimes fate is just that cruel. In despair, even more despair quietly takes away the person you cherish.
Phu Thach Street. (Phụ thạch đường -> Phu Thach Street)
A street never cleaned before.
"Ugh ugh..."
Zombie roars extremely concentrated. Zombie after zombie swayed on the street.
"Hey!"
Before would say "Hello you all." Now no such necessity. Directly shouting "Hey!" towards the zombies ahead was enough. Zombies hearing the sound, briefly surprised, simultaneously looked towards Lam Pham.
Seeing fresh flesh and blood appear, the zombies' emotions soared, extremely crazed, roaring, growling, crowding together, rushing towards Lam Pham.
Lam Pham slowly drew Frostmourne from his back. Exhaled a breath, instantly vanished on the spot, rushing towards the zombie horde. Swung the sword in his hand, radiating silvery-white brilliance, continuously reaping the zombies before him.
For him, zombies were just ants. Just that the number of ants was truly too large. So many that zombies weren't scared; one dies, I still have tens of thousands of me.
And for Lam Pham, the benefits of chopping zombies were just two points.
Increase points, can become stronger.
Hoang city zombie numbers decrease, one step closer towards a zombie-free environment. His cleaning speed very fast. Any passage passed through would be cleaned very thoroughly by him.
As the sound of killing zombies grew louder, zombies in buildings on both sides heard the commotion in an instant, became crazed. Greed for flesh and blood reached extreme. Some smashed glass, some leaped down from high places. Scene majestic, just like dumplings being dropped, plop plop plop falling down.
Some zombies, falling from high places, heads smashed and bleeding. Some broke legs, skull bones exposed with flesh, savage, terrifying, extremely bloody.
So what if legs broken from falling? Still charged into battle.
Looking at the scene before him.
"Truly crazy zombies. Ordinary survivors encountering you, can still have a chance to survive?"
"Luckily you met me."
Attacking, slaughtering, domineering methods, sweeping, chopping.
After a moment.
Low "Ugh ugh" sounds had dissipated. Fragmented zombie corpses littered the road surface. Fresh blood flowed from corpses, staining the ground, extremely sticky. Casually stepping once, shoe soles could get stuck.
Lam Pham casually swung, flicking off the sticky substance on the sword body, continued walking forward.
Observed the surrounding situation. Probably no survivors could live. Surrounding zombie numbers very large. If without sufficient food support, very hard to survive in this situation.
He knew there was a university here.
A higher education institution.
Once thought, if could study locally, also a good choice. At least could not live at school. But finally still didn't go to university, instead came out very early to learn a skill.
Soon, he stopped at Hoang city University entrance.
Everything before him appeared extremely quiet, filthy, a heaven-and-earth change from its past appearance.
The four large characters "Hoang city University" at the entrance stained with sticky blood, already coagulated. Many dried corpses on the ground. Security room window shattered. Something like intestines hung from the window area.
Images in his mind.
Perhaps security guard chased by zombies, in desperation broke window to get out. Just climbed out half body, butt then gnawed by zombies. Outside window similarly zombies gnawing. Finally, bitten until intestines scattered.
Suddenly.
He saw smoke drifting from the rooftop of that building. Although smoke not so thick, but still could see clearly.
"Still survivors living?"
Lam Pham thought, in critical situations, humans can erupt with unimaginable strength. Desire to survive even more unimaginable.
Walked towards the inside of the school.
No zombies around, situation somewhat strange. Thinking about it, also understandable. Sounds outside often would attract zombies away. Just as he thought there were no zombies, his face was fiercely slapped slap slap.
"Ugh ugh" sounds came.
A zombie appeared from a corner. Seeing this zombie, he just quietly watched. This zombie wore shorts, wandering. Face very dirty, sticky fluid flowing down from corner of mouth.
Perhaps when zombies erupted.
He was still in a dream. Opened eyes, heaven and earth overturned. Thereafter bitten by zombies, turned into a zombie, wandering around.
"Ugh ugh..."
The shorts-wearing zombie turned its head, pale eyes moving, mouth agape, roaring towards Lam Pham. Speedily waved its arms, charging towards Lam Pham.
"Ai."
Lam Pham sighed, lifted his foot. Thump! Directly kicked the shorts-wearing zombie until it exploded, sticky fluid splattering all over the ground.
Dormitory.
Smoke rose from the dormitory roof.
Climbing stairs. Now the walls, original color no longer visible. Everywhere stained with blackened blood. Could imagine, how chaotic, how terrible the scene was then. Standing in place, as if seeing countless panicked figures passing through, scared, running down from upstairs.
Their moods panicked, fearful, chased by zombies, tackled by zombies, bitten, screaming tragically, thinking who could come save them.
Finally died in despair, turned into zombies, dazedly wandering, harming other survivors.
Second floor.
Stood in the corridor, looking at the dim, quiet passage. Dormitories on both sides, some doors open, some tightly closed. Listening carefully, as if could hear water dripping in a bathroom.
"Anyone here?"
He shouted in the second-floor corridor.
No reply.
Lam Pham continued upstairs. Quiet environment very easily gave people a feeling of panic.
Third floor.
"Anyone here?"
Similarly shouted in the third-floor corridor. Suddenly, thump! A tightly closed dormitory beside him, violent knocking sound came, as if something inside crazily ramming the security door.
Listening carefully.
"Ugh ugh" sounds in the dormitory.
"Didn't expect still zombies locked in doors, actually didn't jump down from window side."
Lam Pham ignored. Door locked from inside. Wanting to open, unless violently. If door kicked damaged, definitely need compensation. With his current financial ability, hard to support extra expenses.
Walked to fifth floor. Fifth-floor corridor entrance blocked by two escape doors. Stepped onto stairs, walked to entrance, pulled door. Creak sound. Door not locked.
Looked towards end of corridor.
At the end, a figure quietly watched.
Lam Pham was just about to speak, only saw that figure leisurely walk into a dormitory.
"Still living survivors."
He walked towards the end. Slightly covered his nose. This floor's corridor smelled very bad, as if various smells mixed together, listening gave a nauseous feeling.
Looked at dormitories on both sides. Some doors closed, some open. Inside open dormitories, a mess. Many things strewn about, chaotic. Don't know what kind of commotion exactly happened here when apocalypse first arrived.
"Mm..."
He frowned. Could sense someone existing in a tightly closed dormitory.
Walked to the end. Door ajar. Through door crack, inside pitch black. Clearly daytime, yet so dim. Should be curtains pulled inside, not letting sunlight shine in.
Moment of pushing open door.
His eyes narrowed slightly. A thin, long iron pipe stabbed towards his face. If an ordinary person encountered this situation, eyes could also be pierced.
"I'm not a zombie! Don't misunderstand!"
Lam Pham thought opponent mistook him for a zombie, spoke up to remind, then dodged backward.
Although opponent actively attacked him, but he understood, opponent probably didn't mean it. Definitely feared he was a zombie, so struck first. After all, zombies now very terrifying. If it were any ordinary person, hard to fight against zombies.
That survivor waiting in the dormitory, as if not expecting to actually fail.
Carried iron pipe, chased out.
By the dim light, corner of opponent's mouth revealed a savage, crazed sneer, even a kind of perverted temperament.
"He seems a bit strange."
Lam Pham observed opponent's situation. Until now, could confirm opponent not a zombie. Although not a zombie, but feeling he gave extremely unsuitable.
"I'm not a zombie! I'm human! Can you calm down?" Lam Pham said gently.
Could understand survivors' state in apocalypse. Some pushed to desperate straits by apocalypse, mental aspect will undergo earth-shattering changes.
Suddenly.
Heard door opening sound behind him. Turned his head to look. Two dormitory doors opened. Two survivors in total. One holding a fire axe, one holding a fruit knife.
Their gazes also somewhat strange. Like that kind of despairing collapse, spirit already reached extreme explosion, perception of reality developed erroneous understanding, heart twisted to a certain degree.
"Kill him! As long as kill him, we can continue to live! Can live for a long time!" The survivor holding axe said crazily. Saying, saying, let out a sinister laugh.
Fruit knife survivor, mouth agape, drooling, "I want his leg! I want his thigh! Definitely very delicious!"
Steel pipe survivor stared intently at Lam Pham, eyes very crazed, extremely perverted.
Lam Pham heard them speak.
Stunned on the spot.
Since apocalypse erupted until now, only met once. And now this is the second time.
Despair-type: when hunger reaches a certain degree, then think of eating anything around to survive. Already faded beastly nature completely erupts. Perhaps in their eyes, he himself is just a fragrant steak.
Lust-type: purely psychological perversion, twisted, psycho, etc.
Hunger enveloped.
Apocalyptic pressure.
Completely crushed them, crushed their hearts until twisted.
Lam Pham said, "You are human now. Apocalypse indeed terrifying, but please don't be like this. Hope of survival has already arrived. Can talk properly, right? What you do, looks terrifying, but in desperate straits, I know this isn't what you want to do."
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
Three survivors crazily rushed towards Lam Pham.
Lam Pham sighed.
Terrifying apocalypse.
Now no longer zombies posing threat to survivors. Survival environment similarly makes people collapse. Once collapsed, wanting to recover, then will be very difficult, very difficult thing.
Steel pipe survivor roared, steel pipe in hand stabbed towards Lam Pham's abdomen. Lam Pham didn't fight back, but dodged at high speed.
Pfft!
Steel pipe actually stabbed into fruit knife survivor's abdomen.
Fruit knife survivor, fruit knife in hand, thought of cutting Lam Pham's neck, collided with Frostmourne's hilt on Lam Pham's back. Wrist flicked, fruit knife cut into fire axe survivor's neck.
Fire axe survivor, axe in hand, fiercely chopped onto steel pipe survivor's head.
Instantly.
Three survivors' injured positions spurted fresh blood.
Lam Pham, dodging aside, watched helplessly at the situation before him, entire person fell into a shocked state. He truly didn't expect such a thing would happen.
"You..."
He wanted to say something.
However, words reached lips yet swallowed back. Eyes very complicated looking.
"Ai! Perhaps this is your own way of ending. How can there be such coincidental situations in the world? You three probably also know what you did, also not your original intention, but that despair manipulated, unable to restrain..."
Lam Pham looked at the three corpses on the ground.
Very hard to imagine what exactly they experienced. Turned his head, passed by bathroom, saw white bones scattered in bathroom, teeth ached slightly.
Since apocalypse until now, he encountered too many tragic things, could cause great shock to people's hearts. That feeling of despair permeated. For ordinary survivors, truly not a sliver of hope.
Street.
"Anyone alive?"
Lam Pham raised his voice shouting. Sound transmitted within the city, spreading in all directions.
Ugh ugh...
No survivor answered. Only zombie roars. Sound erupted from various nooks and crannies. For zombies, perhaps truly didn't expect, actually humans so bold, actually daring to shout in their territory.
Countless zombies gathered together, forming a terrifying zombie tide, surging over.
Facing such a large number of zombies, he wasn't scared in the slightest. Held Frostmourne, expression indifferent watching. He was already accustomed to such scenes.
Zombie numbers, even if reaching extreme, still just zombies.
"Truly terrible. Properly clean up Hoang city. Hope can clean up completely soon."
Lam Pham transformed into an afterimage, enveloping away.
In an instant.
Shattered remnants thrown into air. Sticky blood splattered all over ground. Zombie roars, under silvery-white light's envelopment, slightly paused.
If any survivor saw the current situation, absolutely would kneel on both knees, look up at sky, tears streaming down face, shouting: In apocalypse still hope... He is striving to eliminate zombies! As long as we can persist, definitely can see a bright future!
Far away.
Within a group of zombies, unexpectedly a special-form zombie. Its physique similar to ordinary zombies, no great difference. But it actually had Venus flytrap-like proboscis, four in total, covered in sharp teeth and suckers.
Hearing movement.
Like ordinary zombies, ran quickly towards distance.
At this time.
Group after group of zombies, by silvery-white sword light flashing, instantly cut in half at waist. Sticky blood congealed into rivers. Air filled with a bloody, foul stench.
Lam Pham, like an emotionless butcher, continuously reaped zombies.
As an ordinary citizen of Hoang city, the only thing he could do was continuously slay zombies.
"Special-form zombie?"
Lam Pham saw the Venus flytrap proboscis zombie, indifferently advanced. Wave after wave eliminated. Special-form zombie rushed towards Lam Pham. Venus flytrap proboscis instantly extended, like a large net, wanting to envelop Lam Pham.
Pfft!
Sword light flashed.
[Kill Mutated-form Zombie] [Points +4]
Points only four. Clearly a zombie that looked scary, but ability just so-so.
After a moment.
Street quiet.
Lam Pham turned his head to look. Zombie corpses piled everywhere. Scene like a terrifying purgatory. Looked at trouser legs stained with sticky fluid, shook his head, walked towards distance.
Slaying this group of zombies, for him, no pleasure whatsoever. Just thought of cleaning up completely sooner.
Only one Strength-type zombie, shaking its head, again rushed towards Lam Pham.
"Should bring back for Bro Hang."
He didn't strike the Strength-type zombie.
But kept it.
He knew Bro Hang wanted to fight zombies. This is a man's unwillingness. Bro Hang not considered a lifelong competitive man, but absolutely an apocalyptic competitive man.
Duong Quang Apartments.
Learning Co Hang wanted to fight Strength-type zombie, crowd in community all leaned on iron railing watching.
Co Hang looked at Strength-type zombie's appearance. To say not nervous is false. Zombie before him too robust, sense of oppression very strong, like a small mountain. If without any equipment protection, fighting Strength-type zombie is just seeking death.
"Bro Hang, exoskeleton equipment just now absorbed one crystal. Now considered three. I think defensive capability can be greatly enhanced. Work hard!" Lam Pham said.
Co Hang nodded. Crowd watching made him have a thought of cannot lose. After all, this his first time fighting evolved-form zombie before crowd.
"Little Hang, work hard!" Old man Vuong waved his arm.
"Uncle Co! Work hard!" Children also cheered. Just seeing ferocious, terrifying Strength-type zombie, they all a bit scared.
Co Hang grasped straight saber, took deep breath, signaled Lam Pham can let go.
Lam Pham threw Strength-type zombie towards distance, then walked to iron railing. He ready anytime. When Co Hang encounters irreversible danger, he will strike immediately.
Strength-type zombie, thrown far away by him, shook its head, stood up.
If it had rationality.
Absolutely would roar: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can there be humans who can throw it so far?! But now, Strength-type zombie roared, stomped heavy footsteps, rushed towards Co Hang.
Co Hang overcame timidity. Human's greatest weakness is psychological timidity towards large creatures. Therefore, must overcome. Gripped straight saber tightly in hand, ran towards Strength-type zombie.
Moment of collision, Co Hang decisively rolled aside. Strength-type zombie punched ground, cement ground cracked like spiderweb. This force very strong. Flesh-and-blood body hit by one punch, absolutely would vomit blood. Weaker physique, could even die on spot.
But luckily Strength-type zombie's speed not so terrifying.
Co Hang and Strength-type zombie looked at each other. Peripheral vision glanced at ground. Heart jumped. Such strong power!
"Big Brother! Can Co Hang win?" A Hai asked.
Lam Pham said, "Not easy to say. Things not absolute. Also can win, perhaps will lose. But being able to face Strength-type zombie is already a kind of victory."
A Hai asked, "Big Brother! If I wear such equipment, can fight Strength-type zombie?"
Lam Pham smiled, "Then you must first do physical fitness, reaction training."
Scene.
Strength-type zombie roared angrily, continued rushing towards Co Hang. This time Co Hang didn't roll to dodge, but took advantage of Strength-type zombie swinging fist, squatted, one saber slash hit zombie's abdomen. Pfft! Caused huge damage to Strength-type zombie's abdomen. Sticky blood whoosh whoosh flowed out.
Feeling cutting sensation, Co Hang's face revealed smile. But soon, his expression changed. A very strong force assaulted his face. Strength-type zombie turned its body, arm fiercely swung at his back.
Thump!
Co Hang, hit by huge impact force, flew out, rolled on ground. Fell to ground, seemed hard to stand up. But strong will made him recover, quickly stood up. Blood trickled from corner of mouth.
"Such strong impact force!"
Co Hang trembled like a leaf. Touched exoskeleton equipment on body. If not absorbed three crystals, just that one moment, absolutely would have been hit until internal organs could have collapsed.
Thought of what Hung Ung said: Strength-type zombie collision very strong. If hit, will not firm enough, can faint on spot. Must be careful. Cannot because have exoskeleton protection, then not take Strength-type zombie seriously.
Duong Quang Apartments crowd mouth agape, some covered eyes, also dared not look at current situation.
Lam Pham always calmly watched.
Zombie indeed zombie. Endurance and reaction force, not comparable to humans.
Battle continued. Co Hang and Strength-type zombie maneuvered.
Continuously dodging attacks, searching for opportunities.
As Co Hang one sliding trip, one saber slash severed Strength-type zombie's calf. This battle basically victory decided. Hung Ung and Diep Hong needed to coordinate so long, chop so many slashes, only then severed Strength-type zombie's leg. Indeed still straight saber absorbed crystal quantity little, sharpness insufficient.
After all, base's straight saber only absorbed one crystal.
Straight saber in Co Hang's hand absorbed four.
Gap very large.
In an instant.
Co Hang cut open Strength-type zombie's head, took out crystal, raised hand high towards crowd. Smile on face very excited.
"I succeeded!"
Crowd excitedly shouted. Voice also not afraid of attracting zombies. After all, surrounding zombies all cleaned very thoroughly by Lam Pham. Even if one or two appear, that also easily resolved.
"How does it feel?" Lam Pham asked.
Co Hang said, "Very painful! Strength-type zombie collision, truly very painful!"
Lam Pham said, "Bro Hang, your behavior just now truly a great progress for humans fighting zombies."
Co Hang, as if thinking of something, "But other evolved-form zombies, perhaps not so easy to deal with. Speed-type, Self-destructing type, Tyrant. I feel if encounter them, afraid even with this equipment, also very hard to fight."
Lam Pham patted his shoulder, "Already very good. Let's take it slow."
He thought of those few types of zombies, felt indeed so. Speed-type's speed very terrifying; afraid before reacting, already appeared before. As for Self-destructing type and Tyrant, this... still better to slow down a bit.
Co Hang said, "Not bad. Also cannot eat into a fatty with one bite." (Idiom: Can't get fat with one bite - i.e., can't achieve everything at once)
Lam Pham smiled, "During this period, I earned some crystals. Properly strengthen a bit. Perhaps later all not a problem."
Lucky Star.
Ha Khanh at highest point, watched survivors leaving one after another. Knew this group of survivors already reached limit. Not thinking of going out to risk collecting supplies, then can only die here.
"When hope completely disappears, human potential should erupt. Live or die just depends on whether oneself strives. You say, this group of survivors, how many can return?"
He asked bodyguard beside him.
Bodyguard said, "Boss Ha, regardless of how many can return, for Lucky Star, all profit no loss."
"Mm, makes a lot of sense. Lucky Star doesn't raise useless people. Vu Tuong and his group also already dead. You go tell Fei Long, from now on first floor his responsibility." (Phí Long -> Fei Long, new name)
Bodyguard asked doubtfully, "Boss Ha, Vu Tuong might have been killed by Duong Quang Apartments shelter. We don't need revenge?"
"Revenge?" Ha Khanh smiled, "No need. I sent Vu Tuong out deliberately. Vu Tuong always wanted Ha Nha. When he went out, also took a gun. Surely wouldn't give up. If he could bring Ha Nha back, I truly would look at him in a new light. And Duong Quang Apartments surely not worth mentioning. Now he, with a gun, still can't return, indicates Duong Quang Apartments shelter has some ability. You have Kim Dinh take people to send some supplies to Duong Quang Apartments. Tell them, our Lucky Star very much hopes to befriend them. Later if any needs, can cooperate." (Kim Đỉnh -> Kim Dinh, new name, likely one of Ha Khanh's men)
"Yes, Boss Ha."
Bodyguard responded.
Ha Khanh crossed his legs, sat on sofa, looked into distance. Apocalypse, for him, naturally affected. But chaotic times produce ambitious heroes. He considered himself an ambitious hero. Surely can occupy a foothold in apocalypse.
Now still not time to seize surrounding shelters.
He thought, if could get large quantities of heavy weapons, how good would that be. Pity until now, still haven't met.
Early morning.
A truck slowly entered vicinity of Duong Quang Apartments.
"Bro Kim! Zombies here too few!" (Kim ca -> Bro Kim, addressing Kim Dinh)
Truck. A survivor extremely surprised. They from Lucky Star entered land, then met zombie pursuit. Then increased speed, threw them off. Who knew arriving here, actually barely saw zombies.
Kim Dinh said, "Hmph! Nonsense! If this Duong Quang Apartments shelter no ability, you think Boss Ha would let us send supplies here to befriend them?"
This Kim Dinh speaking, nearly thirty. Used to be Boss Ha's security team captain. Previously always did some unsavory things for Boss Ha. For example, so-and-so got drunk, fell into river and drowned. Seemingly very normal. But to put it nicely, how exactly did he drink? Why walking, walking, then can fall into river? The ins and outs there relatively many.
"Bro Kim makes sense."
Little underlings nodded.
Soon.
They arrived at Duong Quang Apartments, then blocked by street iron railing.
"You go down and push it open," Kim Dinh said.
Little underling looked at surrounding situation, confirmed no danger, hurriedly got out of car. Used all his strength to push, then hurriedly ran back, "Bro Kim! Can't move! Very heavy!"
Kim Dinh rolled his eyes. Usually so able to eat, yet can't move anything. As for personally moving, that's impossible. If by any chance like himself couldn't move it, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
"Alright then. Carry supplies, climb in with me."
Can only be like this.
Little underling said, "Bro Kim, Duong Quang Apartments survivors, could they be unfavorable to us?"
"Haha!" Kim Dinh, as if looking at an idiot, looked at him, "Are you sick? Or no brain? We are here to deliver supplies, befriend, seek cooperation! Vu Tuong, that idiot, came to find trouble with them! Can it be the same?"
"Yes! Bro Kim makes sense!"
Kim Dinh said no more. Also very curious about Duong Quang Apartments shelter. Damn! Dares to use residential area as center to establish protection point on land! How awesome must one be to do this?
Even hard to imagine, how opponent resolved zombies.
This is Hoang city. Even if suburbs, zombie numbers still very many.
Inside community area.
Lam Pham and Han Suong and her group chatted.
"Yesterday afternoon, we met a survivor convoy. They came from Hecheng city. We chatted with them. Hearing their meaning, originally they had a shelter in Hecheng city, over a hundred survivors. But encountered evolved-form zombies, shelter breached. Fled from Hecheng city to Hoang city."
Han Suong finished speaking.
Lam Pham asked, "How many people do they have now?"
Han Suong said, "Two vehicles, both modified. Possibly a dozen or twenty people. One vehicle a bus, inside not few survivors, mostly women and children."
Lam Pham asked, "Then did you tell them about Duong Quang Apartments?"
Han Suong shook her head, "No. Mainly don't know their origin. Besides, they have weapons in hand, so didn't dare tell them."
Although she knew Lam Pham very formidable, but if Lam Pham again not in residential area, she herself brought this group over, if by any chance this group of survivors betrayed, very likely to cause great trouble.
"It's okay. If encounter, can tell them. I think I can see. Besides, I think those who can bring children along to flee, shouldn't be those extremely evil bad people. Which direction are they heading?"
Lam Pham knew Han Suong's worry. This is a thought everyone would have. He could see, Han Suong always acted cautiously, as if preferring not to achieve merits, also not wanting to make mistakes. Perhaps Han Suong's past work reasons influenced.
Han Suong said, "Heading towards To Hai Road side. Perhaps thinking of settling in Hoang city, or perhaps thinking of continuously advancing, searching for a suitable place." (Tô Hải đường -> To Hai Road)
Just then.
Knock knock.
"Anyone here? I'm Kim Dinh! Boss Ha from Lucky Star sent us! No ill intentions! Please rest assured!"
Lam Pham opened the door.
Looked at the two strange survivors outside the iron gate.
"Something the matter? Looking for whom?"
Lam Pham understood Lucky Star situation not much. Could only say didn't want contact. You survive yours is fine. Don't want too much intersection.
Kim Dinh smiled, "My name is Kim Dinh. Boss Ha sent us. These are supplies Boss Ha deliberately sent for you. Hope you can understand. That day Vu Tuong came here offending everyone, not Boss Ha's orders."
Understood. Came to apologize for Vu Tuong's matter. But for Lam Pham, he didn't want to have dealings with Lucky Star. Met that so-called Boss Ha; not any good fellow.
"It's okay. Take things back. Vu Tuong's matter nothing to do with me. I sent them to police station," Lam Pham said.
Kim Dinh's heart jumped. Images already appeared in his mind. This person before him afraid is a ruthless character. Didn't personally hack Vu Tuong and his group to death, but sent to police station. Definitely tied up there, then lured zombies, let zombies bite them to death.
He could imagine Vu Tuong and his group seeing zombies appear, absolutely scared until face pale, even possibly peed pants.
Kim Dinh smiled, could only use smile to hide emotions in bottom of heart.
He felt opponent was like a kind of show of force.
As if saying, He is your Lucky Star Boss Ha's person, so what? Our Duong Quang Apartments shelter, fundamentally didn't put him in eyes! His subordinate dared to cause trouble, then let him look good!
Once, Kim Dinh, who often watched zombie films, understood. Survivors under apocalypse all want to compare ruthlessness, otherwise fundamentally cannot stand firm.
As if thinking of something.
Kim Dinh, hands on hips, deliberately opened his shirt wide, revealing pistol at waist. As if just wanting to say, See? My waist has a gun! I am just Lucky Star's small figure! But even such a small figure has a gun! Feel our Lucky Star's formidability?
Lam Pham one glance saw gun at his waist.
Looked like police gun.
"This gun of yours is..."
He felt firearms now seemed somewhat rampant.
Sure enough, Kim Dinh's face revealed smile. Finally brought up firearms. He just deliberately wanted to show off, must let opponent understand their Lucky Star's formidability.
Our Boss Ha let me come deliver things, not afraid of you, even less a kind of flattery. But wanting to prove how strong Lucky Star is, then must start from how strong little underling is.
"Oh! Gun!" Kim Dinh patted gun hilt at waist, said very casually, "This needs to be spoken of from over ten days ago. A comrade brought a group of survivors over. Among them a survivor injured, needed medicine. That comrade entered Lucky Star, as if entering his own home, demanding we take out medicine to save people."
"You say, in apocalypse medicine how precious. Moreover opponent still so forceful. You say can I endure? I, without saying a word, went up, one flying kick, directly kicked that comrade to ground. Opponent wanted to draw gun. I, quick eyes, quick hands, one chokehold, fiercely strangled. That fellow, pained, two legs continuously kicked ground, face extremely red. You say, already like this, can I let go? That definitely cannot let go! I took opportunity to draw gun from his waist, towards his head just one fierce shot! That scene! Aiya! Too domineering!"
Kim Dinh chattered on.
Saw Lam Pham's face somewhat strange. Heart secretly pleased. Seems opponent clearly shocked by himself.
Sure enough! Just have to talk about these things, only then can shock the scene!
Little underling standing beside Kim Dinh, bewildered looking. Seems story not like this? That comrade one counter-grapple then subdued Bro Kim. Still other people holding iron rods fiercely smashed opponent's occiput, only then resolved opponent. Later Kim Dinh carried corpse, threw into water.
This is the real situation development.
Absolutely not as Bro Kim said.
Lam Pham said, "So, you snatched the gun?"
"Yeah!"
Kim Dinh said.
At this time.
Lam Pham thought of Officer Hoang. Even turned into zombie, still always protecting Hoang city. And that one, killed by this fellow before him, similarly protecting a group of survivors boarding Lucky Star. Didn't expect to be murdered by him.
Such a situation.
Made him somewhat unable to accept.
