The sound spread in all directions.
"Ugh ugh..."
Zombies responded, as if saying... Here! We are all here! Where are you?
Rumble! Rumble!
The ground shook, dense footsteps came from afar. That was the zombie horde growling lowly, their way of welcoming fresh flesh and blood.
Standing in the middle of the road, looking at the desolate buildings around.
In the distance, the zombie horde swarmed towards this side, their appearance savage and terrifying. But for Lam Pham, he was not afraid. Holding Frostmourne, he could feel the strength Frostmourne gave him.
"Come on! Now, let me clean up Hoang city!"
He had already thought it through.
When his three-dimensional stats all reached several million, the zombies in Hoang city should all be slain by him.
...
Prison.
"Ha Minh Hien, you see the current situation. Not many people submit to you. That group of survivors following Tran Chi Dung has been mostly killed by me. With your current appearance, wanting to control the prison, afraid you're not yet qualified. Your thoughts, your style, truly too small."
Ton Kha sat in Tran Chi Dung's former seat, while Ha Minh Hien sat opposite, just like a little underling, obediently being criticized by Ton Kha.
Ha Minh Hien looked at Ton Kha.
This guy... He now didn't know what to say. If not for the opponent, he and Mieu Yen would have long been hacked to death by Tran Chi Dung. But this guy's words, and those things he did, he truly felt uncomfortable.
Ton Kha stood up, walked beside Ha Minh Hien, both hands resting on his shoulders, leaned down, whispered in his ear, "My meaning is very clear. What I did, you also saw. Because of you, I killed Tran Chi Dung without hesitation. You just need to be obedient, wholeheartedly devoted to me, I can guarantee you become king of the prison."
Your mother!
Ha Minh Hien truly wanted to die. Thought of Nham Nham before, then looked at Ton Kha now.
Want me, Ha Minh Hien, a dignified seven-foot man, to actually be with two men consecutively? Is this physique of mine flawed or something? Is the attraction to males really that great?
"Are you a pervert? I'm a normal person!"
Ha Minh Hien couldn't help but say. He already had the thought of throwing a tantrum. Damn it, it's already like this, what else good to endure? I, Ha Minh Hien, like women, not men! Every time feels so disgusting! Can you f*ing respect my orientation a bit?!
Ton Kha, standing behind him, face smiling, fingers gently pinched Ha Minh Hien's slightly plump earlobe, chuckled, "Whether you're normal or not normal has nothing to do with me. As long as I like it, it's fine."
"Actually, you can consider me a woman. When I was young, I always thought I was a girl. The doctor told me I was male, but also had female things. I really wanted to be a woman, but my dad insisted I was male, made the doctor operate on me. Do you know that kind of pain, where the right to choose your gender isn't in your own hands? On what basis do they assume I want to be a man?"
"I liked wearing girls' clothes, my dad then beat me, even sent me to a mental hospital. Later when I grew up a bit, I then knew, adults all have a desire to control, just hoping others can live according to their thoughts."
Hearing Ton Kha speak of things never said before.
Ha Minh Hien clenched his fists, "Since you detest being controlled by others, then aren't you now controlling my orientation? Have you considered my thoughts?"
Ton Kha smiled, "Yeah! I do detest others controlling me! But I found controlling others feels truly exhilarating! So my controlling you, I feel extremely comfortable!"
Ha Minh Hien: ...
He couldn't refute, cursed loudly in his heart: The opponent is just a pervert!
A kind of mental illness!
Ton Kha said softly, "Before, I also knew someone. He was my type, just like you. But later I found he approached me just to use my status. I was also a high-level executive at Kim Dung Company. You say, I know he betrayed me, could I forgive him? So in the industry, I tricked him until he lost everything, ended up on the streets, like a beggar. He still thought he was unlucky to be like that. I directly told him, it was me who deliberately set him up, lured him into the trap, just wanted him to have nothing, burdened with huge debt."
Ha Minh Hien tilted his head, his eyes somewhat dazed looking at Ton Kha.
He truly didn't expect, this bespectacled, refined fellow, looked as if without any harm, actually so terrifying.
Thought of the image of him holding a pen, stabbing through Tran Chi Dung's neck.
Truly shivered without being cold.
That fresh blood splattering, the image of him smirking, made his heart extremely fearful.
"You truly are a devil," Ha Minh Hien said this sentence after a long silence.
Ton Kha smiled, gently touched Ha Minh Hien's face, said softly, "Be obedient. Everything will be yours. Don't think unrealistic thoughts. You also don't hope anything happens to Mieu Yen and her brother, right?"
Ha Minh Hien: ...
He truly didn't expect it would be this situation again.
Not to mention other things, Ha Minh Hien himself felt he was just a damn fatty, ugly, face full of grease. Damn it! What kind of severe illness do these people have, to actually choose him?
Ton Kha saw Ha Minh Hien silent, "Being obedient is fine. Don't think too much about other things. Tran Chi Dung's rules are unreasonable; need to change the system. A completely new, systematized security system, reward and punishment methods, position promotion, I already told you before. You go arrange it now. I think if you come forward to say these things, they will treat you as a hero. The person I like, I like them to be seen as a hero, seen as a savior."
Ha Minh Hien sneered contemptuously, "Oh! So in your eyes, I'm just useless trash, just a puppet you lead, right?"
Ton Kha smiled, "Don't joke! As long as you're obedient, you will forever be my big baby."
Gag~
Ha Minh Hien truly wanted to vomit.
...
Lucky Star.
"Boss Ha! This is what we saw with our own eyes! He, from that high, at least over a hundred meters tall building, jumped down! No... not right! It was diving down! Swish swish then chopped the zombies below into mush! That scene, we were all stunned!"
The underling who followed Lam Pham returned, reporting the situation.
Waving hands and feet, expression very exaggerated.
That group of bodyguards standing behind Ha Khanh, mouths agape, staring wide-eyed, blankly looking at these two fellows before them. Thought inwardly, How much drug exactly did you gnaw, to be high to this f*ing state?
Even talking starts to make no sense.
Over a hundred meters tall building jumping down? You think the opponent is a god?
Ha Khanh squinted, expression serious.
These words the opponent said, he believed. He already knew Lam Pham was a Superhuman, just didn't expect actually perverted to this extent.
If before regarded the opponent as a temporarily unprovokable target.
Then now... this "temporarily" must go.
But truly unprovokable.
At least before they find a way to become Superhuman, absolutely so.
"Boss Ha, are they on drugs?" a bodyguard asked. Since Bro Nghi was killed, he successfully moved up. Towards Bro Nghi's selfless dedication, extremely grateful. Towards Lam Pham's appearance, extremely thankful.
Before Ha Khanh could speak.
Those two underlings hurriedly said, "No! What drugs to gnaw now?! All we saw with our own eyes! Boss Ha! If we dare say half a false word, let heaven strike us with lightning!"
Ha Khanh waved his hand, "Alright, I know."
Then headed towards the laboratory.
There was a simple laboratory there, a group of elites found on deck. Also don't know if truly elites, but all said they were elite survivors.
...
Duong Quang Apartments.
"Fake? Lure?"
Ma Duy Vien was very shocked, face disbelieving.
"Survivors nowadays, sinister to this extent?"
He shook his head, expressing disappointment towards this kind of behavior. Actually, in his heart, what he hoped most was survivors could live peacefully together, jointly fight against zombies.
Of course, he knew this was somewhat unrealistic.
Life is varied; everyone has their own thoughts. Being able to maintain unity, kind-hearted people ultimately a minority. And before, perhaps knew many, but under the apocalypse eruption, this group of people who believed in companions, believed in teammates' kindness, often were cannon fodder exploited.
Thinking about it also, even best friends in peaceful times could be sold out, let alone a temporarily formed survivor team in the apocalypse.
Lam Pham said, "Mm. Luckily I had some foresight, sensed something unsuitable. Otherwise, truly might have been gotten by them."
If Ma Duy Vien hadn't seen Lam Pham sweep through zombies scene, truly might believe his words, worry for his encounter. But now, he merely nodded, indicating he understood.
Co Hang's point of concern wasn't this matter, but said in surprise, "Little Pham, you saying there's an intelligent zombie makes me extremely worried."
Since the apocalypse erupted until now.
Zombies they encountered all without intelligence, without rationality. Now suddenly such a zombie appeared; to say not worried is false.
Lam Pham said, "Mm. When I encountered it then, I was also extremely worried. After all, a zombie that can evolve and also has intelligence, once developed, definitely extremely terrifying. Perhaps at that time, even me, might not necessarily be able to deal with. So I resolved him early, to avoid an irreversible situation."
Co Hang: ...
"Little Pham, sometimes we don't need to be so modest. Your strength, we know," Co Hang said with a smile.
Lam Pham said, "Appropriate modesty is very necessary. Although I'm a bit formidable, but there's always someone better, heaven beyond heaven. In the apocalypse, all sorts of zombies are slowly appearing. I also don't know what kind of zombies there will still be."
Co Hang patted Lam Pham's shoulder, nodded, said nothing. Gaze also very firm. Mm, you're not wrong.
Nighttime.
Lam Pham, at the computer desk, wrote in his diary.
Recently, too many things happened.
Looked at his own points. Total exponential increase already over thirty thousand, nearly forty thousand.
Preliminary estimate, then it means he, in Hoang city, already eliminated nearly forty thousand zombies.
Compared to Hoang city's total population.
Even if everyone turned into zombies, then he also only eliminated a few hundredths of the zombies.
Took over a month.
Only eliminated such a tiny bit.
Truly somewhat slow.
He held a pen, pondering, gave himself some motivation. That is to speed up cleaning, strive to clean all Hoang city zombies completely sooner, create a place for all surviving people in the country to live.
Walked to the balcony, looked at the outside scenery. He now could casually hum songs, no need to worry about zombies wandering downstairs.
No "ugh ugh" sounds of zombies around either.
Satellite phone rang.
Answered the call.
"Miss Duong, so late, still not asleep?"
He found this Miss Duong always liked to call at night.
Duong Giai Vu, waiting in her room, lay on the bed, swinging her long, slender, snow-white legs, a smiling expression as she chatted with Lam Pham.
"Bro Lam, did I disturb your rest?"
"Disturb, no. Just that I was just preparing to sleep, your call came. How's your side? Encountered any trouble?"
"Thanks, Bro Lam, for your concern. Temporarily all very good. My dad led them to already build a perimeter wall on the island. Horn sound broadcasts twenty-four hours. Several times zombies floated over, all very easily resolved. And some time ago, a group of survivors fled to our place, all taken in by my dad."
She chattered on.
Lam Pham smiled, "Very good. If encounter any unresolved matter, can find me anytime. That group of newly arrived survivors, all no problem?"
"No problem. My dad arranged them separately into four groups, dispersed them. Normally not much contact. Besides, my dad always provides basic supplies, ensures can eat fill, so no survivor has any dissatisfaction."
"Mm. Good that it's okay. Slowly strive. One day hope will come."
The two chatted casually.
...
Early morning.
Downstairs.
Residential area crowd all very casually exercised.
Life is just like that.
Nhan Ny Ny waited beside Lam Pham, as if saying some joke, eyes almost crinkled into moon shape. And Lam Pham also occasionally laughed, nodded, as if agreeing with Nhan Ny Ny's words.
Khau Bang led a group of children, began to run around the residential area exercising.
Phi Phi somewhat drowsy, condition not good.
Dinh Dinh, like crazy, always followed Khau Bang's footsteps.
Old man Vuong and Old Chu played chess. Occasionally could hear Old man Vuong's sighing sound.
Still seemed to be muttering.
"Book-readers indeed book-readers. This routine is just deep."
At this time.
To Tieu Hieu peeked her head out, shouted, "Everyone! Freshly made bread out of the oven! Whoever wants to eat, hurry over and take a look!"
Hearing fresh bread.
The crowd instantly dropped matters in hand, hurriedly gathered over.
Nhan Ny Ny also hurried over, said wanted to buy some bread.
Lam Pham, face full of smiles, looked at the current situation. This was the scene he most wanted to see, also the image of Duong Quang Apartments he always wanted to protect. Everyone's face full of sincere happiness, smiles full of hope for the future.
Perhaps outside encountered sinister, cunning survivors. But whenever returning to Duong Quang Apartments, all negative emotions would vanish like smoke.
"This is what you wanted to see, right?" Co Hang walked beside Lam Pham, said with a smile.
Lam Pham said, "Mm. Isn't it what everyone wants to see? Such scenes before, seen everywhere. But since the apocalypse arrived, this kind of image actually turned into an image that needs serious protection to appear."
Co Hang sighed with emotion, "Yeah! Little Pham, have you thought, if one day in the future, really cleaned all zombies thoroughly, then how many humans can still survive?"
Lam Pham said, "Should be not few."
Hearing Lam Pham's words, Co Hang sighed inwardly. He actually felt living people would be extremely few. Through his organization during this period, zombie evolution degree, types diversified, also new species development trend, old species eliminated.
Just because of Lam Pham's existence, towards this trend, a slight hindrance.
But all over the country, all over the world, what's the situation?
Afraid truly hard to imagine.
Lam Pham looked at Co Hang, "Bro Hang, you don't think humans will be wiped out, right?"
Co Hang smiled, "Won't."
Lam Pham said firmly, "Yeah! Won't! I believe won't!"
While talking.
Nhan Ny Ny ran back, "Bro Lam! Eat bread!"
"Thanks." Lam Pham smiled and accepted the bread.
Nhan Ny Ny saw Co Hang also present, handed another steamed bun over, "Bro Hang! Eat bread!"
Co Hang smiled, waved his hand, "I also don't need."
...
Street.
Lam Pham transformed into a lone knight, walking the street. Large-scale cleaning, already very hard to see zombies. He now needed to continue outwards, clean those uncleared zombies.
Only trouble is, places cleaned, piled with zombies, environment polluted.
Walking, walking.
A zombie appeared far away.
Still an evolved-form zombie.
"Another special Strength-type zombie appeared."
The zombie before him, physique still extremely robust. A single eye grew on its towering shoulder. Fingers long, slender, sharp claws. Gently scraped against utility pole, emitting grating sound.
Sharpness degree simply frightening.
Just as Lam Pham prepared to strike, pfft pfft sounds came from his ear.
Only saw in a nearby building, a woman wearing sunglasses, ponytail, combat suit, holding an unknown firearm, fired at the Strength-type zombie.
No bullets appeared.
But an iron net instantly enveloped the Strength-type zombie. Four corners of iron net had things fixing to ground, deeply rooted in cement ground.
Immediately after.
A vehicle drove over from afar. Clearly a large road roller. Fiercely crushed the Strength-type zombie's body. Pfft! Flesh and blood splattered. Road roller driver's skill somewhat formidable, actually crushed Strength-type zombie's corpse into minced meat, preserving head.
Then, someone else came out from a corner, neatly cut open Strength-type zombie's head, directly found crystal hidden inside.
The scene before him made Lam Pham extremely surprised.
"So strong!"
He sighed with emotion.
Truly, truly formidable. At least until now, still seen such well-coordinated survivor team.
Then saw that female survivor responsible for firing, slid down from upstairs using rope, landed, untied rope, directly got onto road roller, then drove towards distance.
Lam Pham quietly watched.
Until this group of survivors went far. He wanted to see where this group of survivors lived, then followed behind.
Inside the road roller.
"Duong Lo! You're too strong! This one shot too accurate!" The driver was a slightly older man, very familiar with road rollers, absolutely often drove. Perhaps in peacetime, just did this profession.
Duong Lo smiled, "Don't praise me! Your driving skill absolutely capable! Crushed until only a head left! Ensured crystal intact!"
The man responsible for collecting crystals said, "This zombie's crystal quality should be very good. Already changed from white towards black."
"Ai! Special-form zombies now harder and harder to deal with," Duong Lo said helplessly.
"Yeah! Also this kind of colossal zombie easy to deal with. That four-limbed fast-running zombie truly terrifying! Even knows how to dodge! Net gun very hard to catch!"
"Some time ago we passed that shopping mall, see it? F***ing terrifying! A pile of zombie corpses there! Simply a human purgatory! Also many special-form zombies killed! You say, what kind of survivor exactly did it? How strong is this?"
"Who knows? Anyway, just now I saw a survivor watch us hunt and kill zombies."
"What?! I also didn't notice!"
"Didn't notice then didn't notice. Still better to provoke less. Our shelter can no longer have this kind of thing happen."
Mentioning that matter before.
They fell silent.
Thought of original situation. If not for finally turning the tide, that consequence truly very terrifying.
