On the road, two cars drove one after the other.
In the modified car in front.
The driver, Tran Vo, held the steering wheel and said in confusion, "Do we really have to take him to our place?"
He didn't know why they had to take the other party with them. Looking at the other party's appearance, carrying a dog, wearing glasses, he looked gentle.
But in his impression, the more gentle a person was, the closer they were to a gentle beast.
"Mm, he said he came from Hoang City. I want him to meet my father."
The woman was named Doan Nghe, the daughter of the headmaster of Hong Nhat Martial Arts School. She had grown up in the martial arts school since she was a child. Don't underestimate her just because she's a girl. She once had a glorious record.
She encountered four nefarious strong men on the street at night. Who would have thought that among these four strong men, three of them had their testicles kicked and burst, and the other's neck bone was damaged, possibly having to lie in bed for the rest of his life.
If her father wasn't the headmaster of the martial arts school and had some connections, she, who was clearly the victim, could have gone to jail, being said to have exceeded the limits of self-defense, as the four injured men had not caused her effective harm.
Doan Nghe was so angry at the time that she couldn't help but spit out in anger, did you want me to be taken advantage of by them, have their evidence in my body, and then act to be considered self-defense?
Although the matter was later resolved, the more Doan Nghe thought about it, the angrier she became. The senior brothers of the martial arts school avenged her at night, beating the judge who was in charge into a pig's head on the spot.
Beating a judge into a pig's head was a very serious matter.
Her father was thinking about how to resolve it when the apocalypse came, and nothing was a problem anymore.
"Okay," Tran Vo didn't say anything more on this topic, just that he also couldn't figure it out, "You said the headmaster wanted us to spend ten black crystals to buy this satellite phone. We're not going to Sunshine Shelter, so it's useless to us."
Doan Nghe said, "My father said he wanted it, so we listen to my father."
Tran Vo was unconditionally obedient to the headmaster's words. This was the authority accumulated over a long period of time.
When the apocalypse first came.
The number of students in their martial arts school who turned into zombies was not small, but fortunately, their martial arts school's dormitory was four people to a room. To prevent students from gathering to fight at night while the dormitory manager was asleep, the door of each dormitory was locked by the dormitory manager.
It was not until the morning that the dormitory manager opened the door.
So, in the apocalypse, even if some students in Hong Nhat Martial Arts School turned into zombies, it didn't cause too much of an impact.
Moreover, their martial arts school's location was very remote, which also ensured that when the end of the world came, they did not receive too much pressure.
What was the most abundant thing in the school?
Of course, it was weapons. In the past, those weapons were not sharpened. Later, when the weapons were sharpened, even when encountering zombies, with the students' physical fitness and reaction ability, one-on-one, they were still very confident in killing zombies.
Not long after.
The car slowly stopped.
Tran Vo saw a few zombies following.
"I'll clean up these zombies first."
He got out of the car directly. The zombies, seeing the lively human, instantly became very excited. Facing the rushing zombies, Tran Vo's expression was calm. He took a slight breath, and at the moment the zombies charged, he, wearing iron fists, suddenly swung out. With a bang, he directly smashed the zombie's head.
His steps were very agile. His feet touched the ground, he turned his body, tilted to the side to dodge, and punched the zombie's back hard. The zombie's back caved in, and it collapsed to the ground, its head crushed by his foot.
His movements were decisive and domineering, and the power of his two fists was very astonishing.
It was clear at a glance that he was a strength-type Awakened one.
After dealing with the following zombies.
Tran Vo turned to Ton Nang in the car behind him, tilted his head, as if to say, see? This is strength, this is power.
Then he got into the car, started it, the gate was opened from the inside, and he drove into the martial arts school.
Tran Vo and Doan Nghe got out of the car.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister."
A slightly thin, short boy ran over.
Tran Vo said, "Little Radish, watch the person in the car behind. Your senior sister and I are going to find the headmaster first."
"Yes, don't worry."
Little Radish said meow meow, then stared intently at Ton Nang in the car. His shifty eyes were like radar, always locked on, absolutely not letting him disappear from his sight.
Office.
"Dad, I brought the satellite phone back," Doan Nghe placed the WeChat phone on the table, then continued, "On our way back, we brought back a survivor. His name is Ton Nang, and he said he came from Hoang City. I thought you would definitely have a lot of questions for him, so I brought him back."
Training ground.
Ton Nang leaned against the car door, observing the surrounding situation. What caught his eye was a high wall, estimated to be at least four meters high. On top of the wall, there was also a rotating, coiled iron net.
The height of a normal wall was also about two meters two.
It was very obvious that the headmaster of the martial arts school knew the students' abilities, which was why he had such a high wall built.
To be honest, this height of the wall was indeed enough to stop ordinary zombies, but if the number of zombies reached a certain amount, it would form a zombie tide, and even a higher wall couldn't stop it.
Immediately after.
Ton Nang noticed the shorty monitoring him. Listening to them, this shorty was called Little Radish. He did indeed look like a radish. When he looked at the other party, Little Radish's eyes widened, staring at him.
He didn't even blink.
"Kid, how many people do you have here?" Ton Nang asked.
Little Radish said nothing, just growled at Ton Nang, put his fists on his waist, and then performed a set of boxing in front of Ton Nang. His movements were very skilled, but as he punched, Little Radish started to pant.
"You'd better be honest. My senior brother and senior sister have gone to find the headmaster. Don't think you can beat me just because I look like a child. This set of boxing of mine has at least ten years of skill. It's no joke when it hits someone."
"Hahaha."
Ton Nang was amused by Little Radish. He hadn't expected to meet such a naive kid in the apocalypse.
It was indeed not easy.
Little Radish frowned, his forehead even had three lines. He felt the ridicule from the stranger, which made him very unhappy.
But at this moment.
Someone came.
Little Radish looked at the person who came and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Senior brother, senior sister, and the headmaster were all here. His mission was also completed.
"Hello, I am the headmaster here, Doan Thanh Ho."
"Headmaster Doan, hello, my name is Ton Nang."
The first impression he gave him was that the people in this martial arts school seemed relatively normal. Although he couldn't be sure if they were good or bad people, at least the feeling he got now was that the other party maintained their humanity.
In the office.
"I heard from my daughter that you came from Hoang City?"
Doan Thanh Ho asked. He could be sure that this young man in front of him was an Awakened one, and a very stable one. He looked harmless, but from his eyes, it could be seen that the other party was definitely a ruthless character.
"Yes, I came from Hoang City. The satellite phone you bid for at the trading post, was it to call Lam Pham?"
Ton Nang had met people who knew about Hoang City at the trading post, and they were ordinary survivors. Awakened ones like them would definitely know even more clearly.
Doan Thanh Ho didn't answer but asked, "Can you tell us about the situation in Hoang City, and the situation of that Lam Pham?"
"Have you seen the Zombie Illustration Book?"
Ton Nang's thoughts had just changed. He originally thought that the other party wanted to get in touch with Lam Pham from Hoang City and then go to the safe shelter in Hoang City. But seeing Doan Thanh Ho not answering, he already had some understanding in his heart. The other party getting the satellite phone might not be to go to Hoang City.
Could it be the same as what those people thought before, for example, tricking Lam Pham here and then doing something bad?
If it was really like this.
He could only say that this group of people was truly stupid.
But it might not be like this. From what he saw on the surface, this group of people didn't seem like brainless people.
Doan Thanh Ho said, "I've seen it. I saw the content of the Zombie Illustration Book a long time ago. It's just that we have some doubts about the content. After all, the zombies recorded in it feel very unrealistic to me."
Hearing these words.
Ton Nang smiled, "No, what you saw is all true. There is nothing false in the content of the Zombie Illustration Book. The zombies recorded in it all really exist."
Doan Thanh Ho stared at Ton Nang, then nodded.
"Then Hoang City is really very safe?"
Regarding this question, Ton Nang thought in his heart, there's no need to hide some things. It's also good to tell them a little.
"Mm, very safe. The reason the shelter in Hoang City is so safe is all because of Lam Pham. Because of him, it's safe. Without his existence, Hoang City would be no different from other places."
Ton Nang had had contact with Lam Pham once.
He didn't use his real name.
He had personally witnessed the other party's act of cleaning up zombies and was completely shocked. In his perception, such an existence shouldn't even exist. It was just that this was just what he thought.
Seeing with one's own eyes is still to be believed.
Tran Vo said with some disbelief, "That exaggerated?"
Ton Nang looked straight at him and said, "This is not an exaggeration, but reality. When you see him cleaning up the zombies of an entire city by himself, you should understand that some things are beyond your imagination."
"The more you say, the more exaggerated it gets. One person cleaning up the zombies of an entire city? Even an Awakened one couldn't possibly do such a thing," Tran Vo said to Ton Nang about these situations, not believing a word. The main reason was that it surpassed his understanding.
At the same time, as a man, he always had an unyielding thought, feeling that he was also an Awakened one. How could the gap between him and others be so big?
Ton Nang glanced at him and smiled. An arrogant and ignorant man, not even as good as Ha Minh Hien.
If Tran Vo knew that the other party was comparing him to a keyboard sprayer from the past, and even saying he was not as good, he would definitely be furious.
But if Ton Nang knew, he would just tell him, I'm comparing you to my favorite person. For you, that's already respecting you.
"Tran Vo, you shut up."
Doan Thanh Ho reprimanded.
Tran Vo obediently shrunk his head, not daring to say another word of nonsense.
On the other hand, Doan Nghe on the side frowned and pondered. She had some trust in what Ton Nang said. Although she felt it was unbelievable, having seen the Zombie Illustration Book, she knew that the photos in it were definitely not synthesized, but photos taken after real hunting.
Doan Thanh Vo said, "Then what level has his awakened ability reached?"
Ton Nang shook his head and said, "I don't know. What level his ability has reached, I don't know either. I can only say he is very strong. If you don't want to suffer in the apocalypse, then going there to find him is the wisest choice."
"No," Doan Thanh Ho smiled and said, "My purpose in bidding for this satellite phone was not to have the other party come and pick us up. Hong Nhat Martial Arts School was founded by me when I was young. When I was young, I studied martial arts under a famous master because I had a dream of Jianghu. Now, my martial arts school, which once had three hundred people, now only has one hundred left after the apocalypse. Among them, there are fifteen Awakened ones. This ratio is still acceptable."
Hearing the other party's words.
On the contrary, Ton Nang was shocked, even a little disbelieving.
Because this ratio was really too high.
Although he hadn't studied the ratio of Awakened ones, such a number was simply unimaginable.
He suppressed the shock in his heart.
Ton Nang said, "I understand. I can understand your thoughts. But in the future, your direction will always be limited. It's far from what you think."
"As long as he exists, any shelter must operate according to normal order."
"These are your matters, I don't want to say more. It's just that I'm very curious, what's the deal with that trading post? To be able to form a stable trading place in the apocalypse is not so simple."
His biggest doubt was this trading post.
Doan Thanh Ho said, "I don't know. That trading post has been established for a while. No one knows who is in charge of that trading post. But within a radius of several hundred kilometers, there are flyers similar to the Zombie Illustration Book. The flyer records this trading post."
The reason they knew about this trading post was also because they saw this flyer.
Ton Nang pondered. It seemed this was the same as the propaganda method in Hoang City.
"As far as I know, if Lam Pham knew about such a trading post, I think the people there would also be taken away by him and brought before that Officer Hoang."
Doan Thanh Ho said, "The Officer Hoang you mentioned, is he the rational zombie? Able to distinguish between good and evil, and severely punish evil survivors?"
What was the so-called punishment?
It was to gnaw them.
