"All cleared up."
Lam Pham gently flicked away the viscous liquid clinging to Frostmourne.
His gaze locked onto the Screamer Zombie.
"You're excellent."
He generously praised the capable zombie.
He found a dog collar made of metal, clearly intended for large hounds. While the Screamer Zombie was in a dazed state, he put the dog collar around its neck, then leashed it to the tree, gently stroking its head.
"Take good care of your throat. You'll never know how useful you are."
"Your abilities are also humanity's future."
In his eyes, the Screamer Zombie was a perfect specimen among zombies: small, easy to carry, not very aggressive, belonging to a relatively gentle and obedient type among zombies, and also possessing a strong ability to attract other zombies.
Operating in the wild was worry-free, unlike in the city where one had to consider not damaging buildings. When fighting, he had to constantly hold back his strength, fearing that a slight overexertion would directly cause a devastating disaster.
"An environment without zombies is really nice."
Lam Pham looked at the surrounding environment, which gave people a sense of empty tranquility. If it weren't for the viscous blood staining the ground, everything would be beautiful.
"Meow meow."
The Screamer Zombie let out a low warning growl, as if to say, you'd better let me go, or I'll call tens of thousands of zombie brothers to kill you, believe it or not?
"You want freedom, but if I give you freedom, you'll bring danger to others. It's good to stay here. I'll take you for a walk around tomorrow, so you won't get bored."
Lam Pham communicated with the zombie.
A very routine technique.
Perhaps they were talking past each other, but he only acknowledged the meaning he himself could understand. As for whether the translation was right or wrong, he didn't care at all.
He walked to an open space, sat down on the ground, and took out a map.
Hoang City was one of the important cities in the country. In the past, its GDP ranked among the top five. There were many cities, counties, and towns around it.
The densely packed names made his head buzz. There were still too many places to clean up. Don't think that the towns around Hoang City were just ordinary compared to other places.
The prosperity of these "towns" could be compared to county-level cities.
He looked at the interface.
[Name]: Lam Pham.
[Strength]: 6358640. (Infinite)
[Stamina]: 5246920. (Infinite)
[Speed]: 4987630. (Infinite)
[Points]: 1
During this period, he hadn't cleared too many zombies. Much of his effort was focused on clearing Hoang City. Although he had slacked off a bit in hunting zombies.
But the gains were still acceptable.
"Given the current situation, I can only patiently clean up for now. Zombies in the city gather together. As long as I find a good method, I can clean them up in a short time."
He was full of hope for the future.
The only thing he needed to expend was energy.
At this moment.
The steel beast rushed over from afar.
"Brother Lam."
Zhu Cheng poked his head out of the car, shouting.
Lam Pham watched the approaching steel beast. As it arrived, Zhu Cheng and the others got out of the car. After fighting zombies, they had reached their limits in improvement.
"Why are you guys here?"
Lam Pham asked with a smile.
Now, Sunshine Shelter was not guarded by him alone; everyone was contributing their efforts.
"We just passed by the bridge over there, chatted with the engineer brothers, and faintly heard the roar of zombies. We thought there was a situation, so we came to take a look."
Zhu Cheng's ability in reconnaissance was very strong.
During this period, they had been inspecting every nook and cranny of Hoang City and hadn't found a single zombie. Clearly, the zombies in Hoang City had been completely cleared.
Lam Pham smiled and said, "There's no situation. Hoang City has been cleared. I've started clearing the zombies around Hoang City. The sound just now was from a Screamer Zombie, used to attract nearby zombies."
Look at that!
Zhu Cheng was extremely impressed. Others were scared to death by zombies, but Brother Lam used the zombies' abilities to clear them out more conveniently and quickly. How could an ordinary person dare to do such a thing?
Lao Zhong said, "Then we'll help clean up in the future too."
"Yes, with your current abilities and improvement, there shouldn't be much of a problem. But if you encounter certain zombies, don't force it, in case of accidents," Lam Pham reminded.
After all, zombies weren't soft persimmons that could be easily bullied.
Among the numerous zombies.
There were still evolved zombies that they couldn't deal with.
Lao Zhong said, "With Zhu Cheng around, if we really encounter powerful zombies, he will remind us to avoid them first and absolutely not engage them."
As Lao Zhong said this.
Zhu Cheng raised his head, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Although his ability couldn't hunt zombies, everyone needed him. Being needed meant being useful, and being useful brought motivation.
Ye Qian and Dong Jia looked at each other, both noticing Zhu Cheng's expression. They looked expressionless, but their eyes were smiling.
Dong Jia said, "That's right, our Little Zhu is super capable. Those shifty eyes of his can see zombies hiding inside even through walls. Last time, he even discovered a zombie that had fallen into a septic tank."
"Mm, I strongly agree," Ye Qian said with a smile.
Their team of four had been together for a long time, and they had long since developed a tacit understanding, like companions and comrades-in-arms. For Ye Qian or Lao Zhong, compared to the companions who had betrayed them in the past, they preferred teammates like Ye Qian and Zhu Cheng.
If it weren't for the apocalypse, they might never have met in their entire lives.
"Oh, I'm just so-so, nothing special."
Zhu Cheng, being praised, modestly waved his hand. He seemed to be humble, but he couldn't help but straighten his back and raise his head, his expression as if to say, great, praise me more, I love it when you guys praise me.
Lam Pham said, "Zhu Cheng's role indeed cannot be ignored. In the apocalypse, his ability can truly change many situations."
He never hesitated to offer words of praise to others.
Everyone needs encouragement, everyone needs praise.
Often, a seemingly unremarkable word of praise can fill the praised person with enthusiasm.
"Brother Lam, I will continue to work hard."
Zhu Cheng said loudly. He wanted to shed blood and sacrifice his head for the future of humanity. Even if it meant climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of fire, he wouldn't frown even for a moment.
Lam Pham smiled, his smile revealing gratification.
Very good.
With such spirit, he believed the future would definitely be beautiful.
The steel beast left.
Inside the car, Zhu Cheng was playing on his phone, opening the group chat.
His expression was excited as he typed on the screen, writing and deleting, finally looking satisfied at the finished message, and sent it to the group.
"Hehe."
Zhu Cheng chuckled, his mood extremely good.
Ye Qian and Dong Jia, sitting in the back, felt their phones vibrate.
They opened them to see.
They saw the message Zhu Cheng sent, and the two exchanged another glance.
The message was as follows:
[Everyone, I, Zhu Cheng, have something to say. From now on, I, Zhu Cheng, will work even harder and dedicate everything to the future of humanity. I will do what I say, absolutely sincere... ]
Guan Hao: (Thumbs up)
Vuong Khai: (Thumbs up)
