Chapter 404 - (4) The Pecking Order Among Zombies; I Might Have Run with Officer Hoang (4)

He's dead?

He carefully looked around and discovered a certificate of commendation for a heroic act of righteousness.

What he didn't know was that the baby he was holding belonged to the family across the hall. The female zombie's son was still a minor when he saw a girl fall into the water and jumped in. Although he managed to rescue her, he himself left this world forever.

This was an unimaginable blow to any family. The rescued girl, upon learning that the older brother who saved her had died, took the female zombie as her godmother and they remained in contact. Later, when she got married, she bought an apartment directly across from her godmother's home.

After having a child, she discussed it with her husband and decided to have the child take the surname of the older brother who had saved her.

When she had free time, she would let her godmother take care of the child.

When the apocalypse broke out, the couple next door went to work, leaving the child at the female zombie's home. So, even after turning into a zombie, she continued to care for the child.

At this moment.

The female zombie followed closely by Lam Pham's side, her pale eyes staring intently at the child held in his arms.

Wherever Lam Pham went, she went.

"I'm going to Hoang City and taking this child with me. If you can understand me, I'll ask you, are you interested in human flesh and blood?"

Lam Pham could see that if this female zombie were to be separated from the child, it would be a terrifying blow to her. But at the same time, he couldn't bring a dangerous individual to Hoang City.

If she was interested in flesh and blood.

Then the survivors in Hoang City would be in great danger.

Woof... Woof...

"Grrr..."

The female zombie growled.

Looking at the female zombie, in the end, Lam Pham didn't say much more and brought the female zombie back to the Duong Quang shelter in Hoang City.

At the shelter.

"This child..."

Lao Chung blinked. He didn't mean anything by it, but when Lam Pham walked over with the child, he had already smelled an extremely unpleasant odor.

"I found him while clearing zombies in An Dai City. And that female zombie behind him, she's not an ordinary zombie. She's been raising this child, for a full several months. Can you believe it?"

"How... how long?" Lao Chung's eyes widened. He looked at the child, then at the zombie lingering in the distance, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"I suspect from the beginning of the outbreak until now..." Lam Pham said.

Lao Chung exclaimed in amazement, "That's truly unimaginable. If it's really like that, to be honest, that zombie is truly admirable."

"Quan Hao." Lam Pham looked at Quan Hao who was at the side and said, "Take this child and give him a wash, then send him over to Grandma Tu's place. This child's skin is in a bit of a bad state."

"Mhm, I know."

Quan Hao took the child, enduring the pungent smell, and sped away into the distance.

The female zombie in the distance saw the child about to disappear from her sight.

She became very anxious.

"Lao Chung, take off your armor and go test if she will bite people. If she bites, Hoang City might not be suitable for her," Lam Pham said.

"Understood."

Lao Chung nodded. He knew this was a test. Even if that zombie would bite people, he wouldn't harm her.

At this moment, Lao Chung walked towards the female zombie.

Lam Pham watched the situation over there.

The female zombie was very wary of Lao Chung's appearance, but unlike other zombies, she didn't pounce and bite ferociously, but instead slowly retreated.

Lao Chung quickened his pace and soon appeared in front of the female zombie.

He stretched out his arm.

"Bite."

"Grrr..."

Perhaps Lao Chung's tone was not very friendly. The female zombie let out an angry roar, but she still didn't bite, instead retreating backwards.

Lao Chung pretended to turn and look at Lam Pham, but he was actually testing the female zombie, wanting to see if she would take the opportunity to sneak attack him while he wasn't paying attention.

The female zombie did not sneak attack.

She just kept growling.

However, at this moment.

A tender growl was heard.

"Grrr..."

Lam Pham and Lao Chung looked towards the source of the sound and were surprised to see it was Dong Dong.

Dong Dong, carrying his schoolbag, made a sound towards the female zombie, then walked over.

Lam Pham looked on with surprise.

He thought.

Dong Dong might have been taught by Officer Hoang.

Perhaps Dong Dong had received some of Officer Hoang's true teachings, it couldn't be ruled out.

It should be very good for him to communicate.

"Dong Dong, you teach her."

"Okay."

Dong Dong replied, as if to say.

"OK."

When the female zombie saw Dong Dong appear, she clearly showed a surprised expression, then also let out a growl towards Dong Dong.

"Grrr..."

Dong Dong walked up to the female zombie. It was unknown how they communicated.

In any case, they only saw the female zombie slowly squat down.

Dong Dong acted like an elder, patting the female zombie's head.

Lam Pham and Lao Chung watched with fascination.

Dong Dong stood up?

Or was there a pecking order among zombies, based on who gained reason first, or who they hung out with, that would give them a slightly higher status?

After all, Dong Dong had run with Officer Hoang.

That was a possibility.
