Vuong Tu Hien slowly walked over. Nowadays, Vuong Tu Hien paid great attention to his own image. After taking off his clothes, he would go to a clothing store and have Linh Nguyen buy whatever he wanted, choosing beautiful clothes to dress himself up.
All this was to present a flawless self to Trieu Van.
He, the zombie emperor Vuong Tu Hien, was completely different from other zombies.
"You're back."
Trieu Van closed her book and stood up with a smile to greet him.
Seeing that smiling face.
Vuong Tu Hien felt as if a spring breeze had brushed past his body. Even if he had felt tired, at this moment, it was all wiped clean.
"Mhm..."
Vuong Tu Hien could feel that his relationship with Trieu Van was rapidly improving.
From trembling in fear in the past to being able to face him with a smile now, such progress was terrifying just to think about.
The "Guide to Love" was truly effective.
He never considered that this was a change brought about by true feelings, not the so-called "Guide to Love." More importantly... Vuong Tu Hien still didn't know that he was already being targeted by the Zombie God.
Vuong Tinh and her other female companion lowered their heads and glanced at each other.
They felt disgusted by such a scene.
Indeed.
A woman's jealousy is very strong.
An Dai City.
Piles and piles of zombie corpses were stacked on the streets.
The zombies that were clearly still hopping about before had instantly become dead bodies at this moment.
"Survivors..."
Lam Pham looked at the surrounding situation. For him, he really had no other skills. His only skill was hunting zombies and rescuing living survivors.
Just then.
He frowned slightly. A strange zombie appeared at the end of the street. It was actually carrying a schoolbag and crawling on all fours. It seemed to have sensed that it had been discovered and sped away into the distance.
"A zombie that knows to run when it sees me must have a brain."
Lam Pham didn't even think about it and quickly followed.
For any zombie to want to escape from him was basically an impossible task. Within his line of sight, he saw that the zombie agilely ran into a building.
He didn't think much of it and landed directly on the ground. He found that there were zombie corpses around. These zombies didn't look like they were killed by humans; there were bite marks on the necks of the corpses.
"Are zombies killing each other?"
"Or was all this done by that zombie just now?"
Entering the building, it was very quiet all around, as if water was leaking somewhere. He could hear the sound of dripping water, plinking and plonking.
The zombie from just now had entered here.
He looked around very cautiously, in case a zombie suddenly rushed out and injured him. After all, being bitten by a zombie was a very painful thing.
Soon.
When he saw the situation before him, he was truly shocked.
The zombie from before was female, but it looked like she hadn't bathed in a long time, causing her whole body to be incredibly dirty and grimy, her hair matted into clumps.
He saw this female zombie was actually mixing milk powder. Although she was using a very dirty bowl, she was indeed mixing milk powder. This directly made Lam Pham's eyes widen, feeling that he had never seen such a bizarre zombie in his life.
He knew that some zombies had lingering obsessions, which was commonly known as reason. This zombie might have reason, but her reason was definitely not high, otherwise, how could she not know that the bowl was very dirty?
And next to the female zombie, a baby was lying on the ground. The baby looked to be about a year old. The clothes it was wearing were so dirty they were shiny black, and its pasty face made it impossible to see the baby's original skin color.
No matter what, this baby was indeed still alive.
"Mhm."
As he made a sound.
Clang!
The bowl in the zombie's hand was knocked to the ground. Immediately after, the female zombie blocked the baby, her four limbs on the ground, fiercely and viciously glaring at Lam Pham. Her pale eyes revealed a chilling coldness.
It was as if she was warning him.
"You leave immediately, or I will bite you to death."
"Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I've seen many zombies like you with lingering obsessions. Let me introduce myself, my name is Lam Pham, from Hoang City."
Lam Pham slowly raised his hands, hoping this female zombie could be a bit more rational.
"Grrr..."
The female zombie was still growling, her low voice indicating that she was currently very angry and very vigilant.
Lam Pham gestured for the female zombie to calm down while also assessing the surrounding environment. Although the room was dirty, grimy, and dilapidated, he could vaguely see that in times of peace, this room's environment should have been very clean.
He saw a photo on the wall, a family photo.
There were three people in the photo, a couple and a teenage boy.
The woman in the photo looked a bit similar to the female zombie before him. If the female zombie cleaned herself up properly, she should look exactly like the woman in the photo.
So who did this child belong to?
This question lingered in Lam Pham's mind.
"Hello, really, don't be nervous. The fact that you can take care of this child shows me that you are different from other zombies. But the child's current living environment is extremely harsh. I think it would be better to hand him over to me."
Lam Pham deliberately lowered his tone, hoping the female zombie before him could calm down a bit and not be too wary of him.
"Grrr..."
"I know, you're wary of me, but I'm really a good person."
"Grrr..."
Lam Pham: ...
Helpless.
It was really a bit difficult to communicate.
He really couldn't understand what the other party's "grrr" meant. Suddenly, he thought of a situation. If he let Officer Hoang communicate with her, would it be a little better?
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his satellite phone.
Soon, the call connected.
"Officer Hoang, hello. I have a little something here. Oh... why is it so noisy on your end, whoosh whoosh, are you dealing with disobedient zombies? You deal with it first, I'm listening."
A moment later, the "whooshing" sound on the other end of the phone stopped.
Lam Pham knew that Officer Hoang had dealt with the zombies cleanly.
"Officer Hoang, I'm currently in An Dai City cleaning up zombies. I encountered a rather strange zombie. She's a female zombie, probably has reason, and has been raising a baby. Although she can protect the baby's life, the environment and hygiene are too harsh. I want her to hand the baby over to me, but she's too wary of me. Can you communicate with her?"
Lam Pham told Officer Hoang about the situation, then put the phone on speaker.
"Here, you talk. The other party is Officer Hoang, a trustworthy police officer. He can prove it for me."
Officer Hoang: "Grrr..."
A "grrr" that was hard to decipher came from the mobile phone.
The female zombie, who had been constantly vigilant against Lam Pham, clearly had a slightly stunned expression.
Female zombie: "Grrr..."
Officer Hoang: "Woof woof..."
Female zombie: "Woof woof..."
Lam Pham blinked, looking a bit confused. A not-so-appropriate image appeared in his mind. To draw a slight comparison...
Little Hoang: "Who has bones?"
Little Bai: "The bones at the house next door are very fragrant, but they've been taken over by Little Hei. Let's go over, mess with him, and take back his territory?"
Little Hoang: "Okay, attack."
Don't look at the seemingly long conversation, but if you translate it a bit, it might be like this.
Little Hoang: "Woof!"
Little Bai: "Woof!"
At this moment.
Lam Pham really hadn't expected that Officer Hoang could actually communicate with the female zombie.
Perhaps this was the reason for having reason.
After all, other ordinary zombies, even Officer Hoang, would dare to gnaw and bite. In the past, if he hadn't saved Officer Hoang a few times, Officer Hoang would have been killed by zombies long ago.
A moment later, there was no more "woof woof" sound from the phone.
The communication had ended.
Lam Pham took the phone, said thank you to Officer Hoang, and then hung up.
He tentatively walked towards the female zombie.
He felt that the female zombie's situation seemed to have improved a bit. As he got closer, she didn't roar. Just as he was about to touch the baby.
"Grrr..."
The female zombie growled lowly, but this growl was not as fierce as before.
"I was just trying. I didn't expect Officer Hoang to really have this ability."
Lam Pham muttered to himself as he took the baby into his arms. The smell was very unpleasant, very pungent. This was the result of not being cleaned for a long time. As he held the baby, he noticed its back was sticky.
Looking closely, his eyes really widened. It was feces.
"Sigh."
Lam Pham wasn't disgusted. He just found a seemingly cleaner blanket to wrap the baby in. While looking for a blanket, he discovered that on the bedside table in the master bedroom, there was another portrait of the deceased.
The portrait was of the boy in the photo in the living room outside.
