Immediately, a survivor was flipping through the Zombie Illustration Book on one side, while screaming hysterically on the other.
"It's him! Lam Pham from Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City! He came from Hoang City!"
"I told you it was really Lam Pham! He knew our situation and came all the way from Hoang City!"
"The legendary figure from the Zombie Illustration Book... haha... I actually saw a legendary figure!"
"Big brother, I beg you, take us with you!"
"Yes, we all want to go to Hoang City, we all want to live!"
All the survivors were very excited.
If, in the past, someone had asked them what despair was, they probably couldn't have answered.
Because they hadn't experienced despair.
But after the apocalypse, they understood what despair was. Despair was seeing no hope at all, being completely enveloped in darkness, suffocated and unable to breathe.
Lam Pham looked at the people at the scene, a multitude of faces, each one filled with excitement, cheering and shouting.
He appeared very calm.
The survivors here, in order to adapt to the life here, could only drift with the current. Some were clearly kind-hearted, but in the end, they could only become bad people in a chaotic world.
This kind of badness was not about doing all kinds of evil, but about wanting to survive, having to snatch the hope of survival from the hands of others.
As he was deep in thought.
A speedboat shot out from the side of the ship's hull, racing on the sea surface, speeding into the distance.
Someone wanted to escape.
Lam Pham looked at the speedboat heading into the distance, his expression unwavering, his face blank. For the survivors who wanted to leave this place, he often just wanted to say... impossible.
A moment later.
A survivor with a dazed yet innocent expression stood before Lam Pham.
The owner of this boat looked at Lam Pham as if he had seen a ghost.
And the surrounding survivors looked at Lam Pham as if they were looking at a god. In their eyes, Lam Pham had just vanished from the spot in an instant, stepped on the sea surface, and brought back the guy who had already started the speedboat and fled into the distance.
How could a human do such a thing?
"What do you want?"
The owner of the ship asked blankly.
Lam Pham said, "It's too dangerous outside. If you run around and encounter zombies, it will be very bad. I'll take you to Hoang City, and you'll know how safe it is there."
"I don't want to go, I want to leave."
Hearing these words, Lam Pham smiled, a smile that seemed to express... don't have such unrealistic thoughts. The ship's owner really hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
He knew Lam Pham had arrived and thought of confronting him. But the content in the Zombie Illustration Book made him afraid. He felt that Lam Pham was not a human existence.
What if he failed in the confrontation?
So he thought of escaping.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no lack of firewood.
No need to take risks.
It was just that... clearly, he had left on a speedboat. There was a 100% chance he could escape, but often, accidents happened just like that.
After a while.
On the road not too far from the sea.
Ton Nang leaned against the car door, looking at the ship that was being lifted in the distance. His seemingly calm expression revealed a kind of shock.
"Just moved away like that?"
Ton Nang's eyes widened, different from what he had thought.
He knew that the survivors on the ship would definitely be taken away by Lam Pham, leaving the ship behind. After they left, he would go to the ship to find some things.
He might find supplies, or he might find remaining crystals.
But now... the result of directly moving the ship away was something he had not thought of at all.
He hadn't even had such a thought.
"How terrifying. The decision to leave Hoang City was correct."
Ton Nang looked at the vanished back of the ship, at the vast blue sky, and wondered what Ha Minh Hien was doing now.
Based on his speculation, Ha Minh Hien probably hadn't gone to Sunshine Shelter.
If he had wanted to go, he would have gone long ago.
"Meow meow..."
Just as he was deep in thought, an ordinary zombie appeared, shambling. The zombie ignored Ton Nang and, seeing Xiao He waiting in the car, ferociously charged at the car. For zombies, it didn't matter if it was a person or not. As long as it was a living thing, it was a zombie's favorite food.
Ton Nang glanced at the zombie, lifted his foot, and kicked the zombie away.
For this kind of ordinary zombie.
He didn't even bother to act.
Hoang City, Sunshine Shelter.
Gu Hang, Captain Lei, Dam Thanh, and others looked at the number of survivors Lam Pham had brought back and were truly stunned.
Good heavens.
When others rescued survivors, they brought them back one by one.
Lam Pham, on the other hand, brought back a whole group at once.
The survivors brought back by Lam Pham looked at the surrounding situation curiously.
"Big brother, do all these need to be registered?"
Guan Hao counted the group of survivors in front of him. The number was a bit large. Fortunately, he had a helper now. Yellow-haired Tran Ngang was relatively nimble and worked very diligently.
"Mm, all need to be registered."
Lam Pham replied.
Then he told Brother Hang and Captain Lei about the situation of this group of survivors.
Gu Hang really hadn't expected that among this group of survivors brought back, there would be so many Awakened ones. He observed curiously, and it was indeed so. The mental state between Awakened ones and ordinary survivors was different.
At the same time, hearing that among this group of survivors, many were existences that had harmed others, he knew that the matter was not simple.
Their luck was very good. The timing of their being brought back by Lam Pham was when Officer Hoang was not at Sunshine Shelter.
If it were in the past, he felt that if even half of this group of survivors could survive, it would be a miracle.
"You mean prison?"
Gu Hang really hadn't expected Lam Pham to want to send the unqualified survivors to prison.
He thought Lam Pham would give them a chance.
After all, it was the apocalypse now, a special time, special treatment.
"Yes, prison. Officer Hoang is not here. I'll just send them to prison. Let them do some work in prison. After all, they've made mistakes, and they need to be punished."
Lam Pham said.
Gu Hang looked at this group of survivors. They were a group of lucky fellows. They should really be happy about it.
"That's good too. Let them reflect in prison and return to their former state. Otherwise, with their current situation, letting them roam freely in the shelter is unfair to the other survivors."
The group of people living here, after spending a lot of time with Lam Pham, had many concepts appearing in their minds.
For example... we want to be people full of positive energy.
Lam Pham walked in front of them, looking at each expectant eye, and some confused eyes. He was very calm about this.
"Everyone, this is Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City. Here, you will not encounter harm from zombies, you will not worry about food. Many survivors live here, and everyone has been working hard for a better future."
"Next, those who are pointed out by me, first go to his side to register."
Lam Pham said while pointing at Guan Hao.
Guan Hao hurriedly waved his hand, and his younger brother Tran Ngang hurriedly moved a table over, along with the registration list.
Among the group of survivors he brought back, the Awakened ones didn't want to say much anymore. They were all brought back, what else was there to say?
Damn it.
They had thought of every possibility.
But who would have thought that the other party would directly carry the ship back? They could only stare blankly as the ship moved at a high speed, and their fear of Lam Pham deepened.
At this moment.
Lam Pham looked at each survivor he had brought back. His deep gaze seemed to be able to see through the depths of each survivor's heart.
The survivors were very nervous and waiting.
It was like a concubine selection, facing the discerning eyes of the bosses, waiting for whether they could earn that sum of money was a very tormenting process.
"You, you're fine."
The survivor pointed out by Lam Pham initially had a very pale face, but after being pointed out, his face suddenly flushed, more invigorating than a hundred-year-old ginseng.
He obediently went to Guan Hao's side to register.
"You."
"You."
"And you."
