Nighttime.
Balcony.
Lam Pham leisurely stayed on the balcony, drinking tea and looking at the night sky in the distance. The cheerful chatter of the crowd came to his ears. Such a life made people satisfied and had an indescribable sense of peace and joy.
"Hong Nhat Martial Arts School's fifteen Awakened ones. I'll send them crystals tomorrow. I hope they can make good use of them."
The effect of crystals was enormous. Often, whether an Awakened one could gain a foothold in the apocalypse really depended on how many crystals they consumed. A newly awakened Awakened one could hardly play any role.
"It's difficult. The danger of zombies always exists. There are forces in places I don't know. Those forces are very unfriendly to the surviving humans. I have no way to be in multiple places at once, helpless, can only rely on luck."
Lam Pham stood up and returned to the room, starting to compile the content in the Zombie Illustration Book. There was no new content, just adding a few words to the existing content.
"The order in the apocalypse has not collapsed. Hoang City still has a stable order. I hope that you survivors outside can unite and support each other. If I find anyone doing many evil things, I will use the power granted to me by Officer Hoang to send you to the prison in Hoang City."
Threat!
A naked threat.
This was definitely the most threatening statement Lam Pham had made in all the content of the Zombie Illustration Book.
The situation at the ship trading post made him understand that perhaps in the apocalypse, zombies had dealt a devastating blow to the living, and among the remaining survivors, many were not harmed by zombies, but were killed by each other.
He knew that these words might not have a great impact.
But leaving a sentence, if it could save one survivor in ten thousand, then everything was worth it.
He finished the content in the illustrated book.
He opened his phone.
In the group chat.
Xiao Hong quietly sent a video, without any text, just a single video.
He opened it to see.
It was a video of Chu Duong lecturing the group of survivors he had brought back outside the shelter.
After the video was sent out.
Soon, someone spoke.
Xu Zeyang: "Awesome! Those words are really full of positive energy. The ideological awareness is really high."
Wen Jie: "Damn it, let him show off."
A Hai: "This group of survivors met my Brother Lam, which can be considered their good luck. But there are still guys who don't know what's good for them. It's really... the apocalypse has changed their hearts, making their hearts become dark."
And inside Sunshine Shelter.
Ha Khanh held his mobile phone, looking at the content in the group chat, unmoved, extremely calm. This situation seemed familiar, just like in peaceful times when they had a business group chat. Everyone was a successful entrepreneur, and showing off wealth was really nothing.
But it's human nature to like to show off from time to time.
However, what they showed off were all screenshots of the stock market's growth rate.
Red, red, whose stock is this that's rising so much? So awesome.
Often, another entrepreneur would jump out, using very modest words to express the joy in their heart, and at the same time would post the stock market screenshots of the person who spoke, so-called mutual flattery. They wouldn't mention themselves, but in the end, they would perfectly show themselves off.
Chu Duong's situation was just like this.
His former subordinate, Xiao Hong, sent out the video, creating an impression that this video was definitely not something Chu Duong wanted to send out, but was sent by someone else, having nothing to do with him.
But at this moment.
Chu Duong sent a message in the group.
Chu Duong: "Xiao Hong, what are you doing secretly filming me? If you filmed, then you filmed. Why did you send it out?"
Xiao Hong: "Shh (mouth shut emoji)"
Ha Khanh rolled his eyes, shook his head with a smile, truly impressed. This set of skills was really perfect.
Chu Duong: "It's unnecessary, really unnecessary. In the future, there's no need to film such scenes and send them out. Even though I am now the warden of the prison, guarding that group of delinquent survivors, I haven't told anyone."
A Hai: ...
Vuong Khai:
Guan Hao: ...
Ha Khanh: ???
Seemingly unremarkable words, but in reality, they were full of Chu Duong's showing off.
Regarding this, the crowd who saw this situation could only use six dots to express their helplessness.
Lam Pham: "Chu Duong, very good."
Chu Duong: "Thank you, Brother Lam, for your praise. I still need to continue to work hard."
Early morning.
Lam Pham got up very early. Instead of leaving Sunshine Shelter to clean up the zombies outside Hoang City, he went to see the group of survivors he had brought back yesterday to see how their situation was here.
There was definitely no shortage of food.
Other things were even less lacking.
It was just that they had suffered a lot at the trading post, and he was afraid that their hearts wouldn't be able to react for a short while.
He found Ha Nha.
Ha Nha was now a teacher, very popular with the children. After all, children also liked beautiful female teachers.
"Teacher Ha, are you busy now?"
"Not busy. I don't have a class this morning, so I came early to take a look," Ha Nha replied with a smile. Sunshine Shelter was getting better and better now. Every survivor was living in a beautiful environment.
No need to worry about zombie harassment, living the life they wanted.
Lam Pham told Ha Nha about the plight of some of the female survivors among the group he had brought back yesterday. When he went to see that group of survivors just now, most of them were fine. Vuong Khai's Sunshine Shelter Life Guide let them know the operating situation here and what they should do in Sunshine Shelter.
It was just that that group of female survivors could never forget what had happened before.
Those things had caused very serious effects on the depths of their hearts.
Ha Nha was a celebrity in peaceful times.
She was also an idol admired by many women. So, letting Ha Nha get in touch with them and alleviate their worries should be effective.
After hearing what Lam Pham said, Ha Nha nodded, sympathizing with the plight of that group of girls.
"Okay, I'll go and get in touch with them later."
Ha Nha felt that Lam Pham was truly a considerate person. If it were someone else, they would think that they had already brought the people back, and their safety was not a problem at all, even if they would care about the mental state of the rescued people.
"Teacher Ha, I'll have to trouble you."
Lam Pham thanked her. A conversation between women was often easier to reach the depths of the heart.
And what Lam Pham didn't know was... when Ha Nha went, she deliberately brought some beer. Often, chatting while drinking could make it easier to reach the other person's heart.
Letting out their grievances and unhappiness, everything would be fine.
Prison.
Chu Duong arrived early. With the reopening of the prison and the incarceration of prisoners, all processes began to get on track. In Chu Duong's view, he definitely couldn't let this group of criminals idle around, staying in prison all day, eating and drinking for free.
It was the apocalypse now, and many supplies were becoming scarcer. Moreover, some supplies were painstakingly planted by the crowd. They must be made to work and contribute.
New sewing machines were one aspect, and another was to let them farm. The prison area was very large, with arable land.
If nothing was done, it would be a waste.
A group of criminals were guarded as they reclaimed the land. They held hoes and broke the ground.
Chu Duong, Cao Bac, and the others watched from a distance.
They were very satisfied with the current situation.
Some criminals chatted while working.
"Hilarious. It's the apocalypse, and we're actually farming in prison. If this hadn't happened, would you believe it?"
"What's there to say now? It's already a reality."
They fell silent.
A group of Awakened ones, none of whom were willing to do this kind of work, to live this kind of life. But there was no way. The other party's strength was stronger than theirs, suppressing them fiercely. Even if they were unconvinced, what could they do?
Noon, prison lunch break.
Bang!
"Fuck."
A bulky criminal Awakened one punched a middle-aged man against the wall, "I told you to massage my feet. What the fuck did you say?"
The one speaking was a criminal Awakened one nicknamed Iron Man.
He was once a fitness enthusiast, with a very hot temper. With the arrival of the apocalypse and becoming an Awakened one, with his physical advantage, he was even more powerful than other survivors or Awakened ones.
All along, he had lived very comfortably in the apocalypse. Who would have thought that he would now be in prison? Thinking about it made him very angry, but the strength Chu Duong displayed made him feel helpless.
Especially since the other party was wearing battle armor, which had a very strong impact.
So he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and then asked the greasy-looking middle-aged man to massage his feet. Who would have thought that this middle-aged man was very stubborn and dared to disobey his orders?
