"Look ahead, isn't it beautiful?"
Lam Pham pulled Vuong Te Thien and pointed to the ice fragments drifting in the sky in front of them, asking from the bottom of his heart.
"Beautiful, so beautiful."
"You were born too late. It used to be even more beautiful here, what a pity."
The scenery of the peaceful era was the most beautiful, but that was in the past. Now, everything has changed. What meets the eye is desolation and dust.
"Baby, are you able to attract zombies over?"
Vuong Te Thien's ability made Lam Pham very interested.
"Mmm, I can."
Faced with the question, Vuong Te Thien didn't dare to hide anything and honestly admitted his ability.
Vuong Tu Hien, on the side, was heartbroken. He took the initiative to talk to his son, but all he got was "yee ya ya, he he" sounds. This was a sign of being ignored.
Why did his son answer when Brother Lam asked?
This situation was worth pondering. He had to think carefully about where he had made the child feel uneasy, or was it that Brother Lam was really more handsome than him?
"Baby, are you willing to help uncle?"
"I am willing."
In Vuong Te Thien's mind, since you've already asked, can I refuse?
Lam Pham smiled.
Good children are born, not made.
The one before him was a truly good child.
Although he had only been born a few days ago and had already grown to this extent, the child was sensible. What was so strange about being gifted? It was all very normal.
"So good. Let your parents go back to Thanh City first, and you stay with uncle, okay?" Lam Pham gently stroked Vuong Te Thien's head. It was very affectionate, but in Vuong Te Thien's mind, it was a different thought.
It was as if to say, if you don't stay with uncle, uncle's big hand will crush your little head.
So scary.
At this moment, Vuong Te Thien's gaze fell on Vuong Tu Hien. This was the first time he had cast a pleading look at his father. He didn't want to stay here, but he didn't dare to say he wasn't willing. He only hoped that his father could save him.
And at this moment, Vuong Tu Hien thought that his child was being valued by Lam Pham, and his mood was extremely happy.
Why didn't Brother Lam value others, but had to value Te Thien?
It must be because his own child was excellent.
He and Trieu Van had always been the two of them in Thanh City, and they were used to it. The sudden appearance of a child was, more or less, a bit of an inconvenience.
"Te Thien, you must learn well and watch carefully by Uncle Lam's side."
Vuong Tu Hien was very reassuring. Seeing the child's expression, he misunderstood and said, "I'll talk to your mother about it. She will definitely agree. When we have time later, daddy and mommy will come to see you."
He felt that it was very good to leave the child here.
He could continue to live a world of two with Van Van. How wonderful. The child was growing up fast and was so sensible. They didn't need to worry about him at all.
Vuong Te Thien: ...?
This situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
It shouldn't be like this.
I want to go home.
. . .
A few days later.
Vuong Te Thien completely became a tool person. As a tool person, he had his own awareness. Staying at the Sunshine Shelter was not his original intention, but no one was willing to speak up for him.
His parents had already left. When they left, his mother stroked his head and told him to be good, telling him that with great power comes great responsibility.
Both his father's and mother's lives were saved by Uncle Lam.
So, staying here, he had to listen to Uncle Lam, not be mischievous, and not make trouble.
The young Vuong Te Thien was very tired in his heart and really wanted to ask, "Mommy, does love fade so easily?"
At this moment, Vuong Te Thien was sitting on the edge of the fortress, his two legs dangling, looking at the sky, his demonic eyes shining.
Don't think he was admiring the beautiful sky.
In fact, he was working.
"Te Thien, come have a lollipop." A patrol member from the fortress walked over and handed Te Thien a lollipop. They all knew he was Vuong Tu Hien's and Trieu Van's child. In two days, he had grown to the height of a five or six-year-old child.
This was not a normal phenomenon, but having experienced the apocalypse, their horizons had long been completely opened, and their perspectives had to be high.
Vuong Te Thien was a child and naturally liked lollipops. He opened the packaging bag and slurped on it.
"Te Thien, do you feel that our place is very fun to play at?"
Vuong Te Thien, who was biting the lollipop, rolled his eyes. Fun, my ass. Living under Uncle Lam's authority all day, my little heart is pounding.
I'm afraid of slacking off at work and being discovered by Lam Pham, and then he would smile, take off his pants, and give his butt a good spanking.
It's scary just thinking about it.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The ground shook, and dust billowed in the distance, accompanied by a faint "oh oh" sound. Even without seeing it with their own eyes, they knew that a large number of zombies were rushing towards them.
The patrol member said in surprise, "Te Thien, how did you do it?"
So magical.
He clearly didn't go anywhere, yet he could attract the zombies over. When Brother Lam brought Te Thien here, he had told them that if a large number of zombies came, there was no need to be nervous. This was all his doing. You just need to watch.
At that time, they were very puzzled.
Could little Te Thien attract zombies over without going anywhere?
Now it seemed that all the questions were not problems.
Vuong Te Thien didn't pay attention to the patrol member. One had to be serious when working. The next matter was even more complicated, and the steps were a bit numerous. It needed to be solved step by step.
The zombies attracted by Vuong Te Thien stopped when they approached the edge of the bridge, like soldiers waiting for orders, receiving their final review.
The main reason why he could attract zombies was.
It was because Vuong Te Thien could release a kind of energy wave. The diffusion range was very wide. Except for Creators who could resist the temptation of this wave, it was very difficult for other zombies.
This was like an ancient emperor issuing an order, requiring all the officials in the world to come. Except for those princes who were plotting a rebellion, there were probably not many who dared to refuse.
The only weakness was the range. As the wave spread, it gradually weakened and eventually dissipated.
"Stand face to face."
Vuong Te Thien gave the order.
He clearly didn't need to say it out loud, but without saying it, there was no atmosphere.
The patrol member on the side watched carefully, then hurriedly told the other companions waiting in the fortress to run out and witness this magical scene together.
In the vast zombie tide, whether it was normal zombies or evolved zombies, they all stood face to face under Vuong Te Thien's command.
"Grab the head."
Swish!
The zombies in the distance were like possessed.
They raised their hands and grabbed the head of the zombie standing opposite them, and their own head was also grabbed by the zombie opposite them.
"Twist."
Snap!
Snap!
The strength of zombies was very strong. In the early days of the apocalypse, the strength and speed of normal zombies surpassed that of normal humans. Not to mention that as the apocalypse progressed, the ability of normal zombies also improved. As for how much it improved, it could only be said that it was a very foolish act for an ordinary human to compete with a normal zombie in strength and speed.
Therefore, in the instant they used force on each other.
The heads of the zombies were directly twisted off.
In the zombie tide.
Two fusion-type zombies looked at each other, struggling.
They were also controlled by Vuong Te Thien, but they didn't want to twist each other's heads off like the other normal zombies, so they were desperately resisting.
Unfortunately, their resistance was useless.
Under such irresistible circumstances, they finally slowly grabbed each other's heads. With a snap, they twisted each other's heads off.
"It's over."
Seeing the zombies in the zombie tide fall to the ground one after another.
Vuong Te Thien slowly let out a sigh of relief. This was how work was. If the work was not done, one could not rest. Of course, there was still a final step to be dealt with in the current situation.
A powerful psychic force erupted from Vuong Te Thien's body, instantly covering the scene. The heads of the evolved zombies exploded, and crystals floated out one by one, being guided towards the fortress.
The onlookers patrol members were dumbfounded, their jaws agape.
The scene before them made them exclaim that they had seen a ghost. They had seen many unbelievable things, but a situation like this was truly unbelievable.
So many zombies were finished just like that?
They didn't even need to dig out the crystals. They just flew out of their heads and fell into the fortress.
"Te Thien, you are too powerful."
The patrol members exclaimed in admiration. Such a method was really powerful.
Vuong Te Thien stood up, patted his butt, turned, and left, at the same time a voice came, "My work for today is done. I'm going back to rest. See you."
Then he floated up and drifted towards the shelter in a wobbly manner.
The patrol members looked at the pile of crystals, then at the figure that was gradually disappearing from their sight.
"Our shelter has more and more powerful people now."
"Yeah, this is really full of a sense of security."
"The offspring born from the union of a zombie and a human is really full of mystery."
The patrol members sighed.
As for the zombie corpses, there was no need to worry.
When Lam Pham returned, he would take the initiative to clean them up. It was a pollution-free cleaning that could ensure the integrity of the environment.
. . .
A certain plain.
"Close-quarters cleanup."
"Maintain your formation, don't mess up."
Luu Dao, wearing armor, led a small team in a fan-shaped advance, starting to clean up the zombies.
Hoac Phan and Phuong Trien were the same.
Their team traveled through the apocalypse, experiencing battles big and small. The once brand-new armor had been left with some marks in those battles.
These marks on the armor were enough to prove their achievements.
An armored vehicle was clearing the way in front. The zombies wandering on the plain became very excited when they saw the humans appear. They roared and rushed towards them ferociously.
The brainless normal zombies had no idea how terrifying the iron torrent they were crashing into was.
Splat!
Splat!
The zombies were rolled under the armored vehicle and crushed into minced meat and broken bones. Even if a zombie was lucky enough to not die, what awaited it was a sharp finishing blow. Its head would directly blossom, splitting into two halves.
The members of this team were all elites. When dealing with zombies, they would naturally kill with one blow, without any mercy.
Splat!
With the cooperation of his companions, Luu Dao raised his hand and brought it down. All the zombies that were about to rush in front of them were killed. They were all beheaded or had their heads split into two from top to bottom.
"Team one, clear."
Luu Dao shouted.
"Team two, clear."
Hoac Phan shouted.
"Team three, clear."
Phuong Trien shouted.
"Team four, clear."
Chu Hieu shouted.
After confirming that there were no problems, Luu Dao let out a sigh of relief. They were fighting against the zombies with their lives. This was a road they had to pass. If there were zombies blocking the way, they had to be cleared away.
"Rest on the spot for ten minutes."
Luu Dao opened his mask and slowly took a breath.
He treated every cleanup as his last dedication. Along the way, he had experienced a lot, but he never regretted it. To live, one must live with value.
And his value was to clean up zombies. Killing one was not a loss, killing two was a steady profit.
This was the reason why the people in the country had an excess of martial virtue.
When faced with death, they never thought about how to survive, but how to take a few down with them to break even.
"Brother Hieu, want a smoke?" Phuong Trien walked to Chu Hieu's side. Phuong Trien, who was once just a survivor in a small town, had transformed from a naive person to a mature and resolute one now, thanks to everyone's help.
His home was long gone.
And now, everyone here was his family. He cherished everyone here, but with the things they did, how could there be permanent safety, and how could there be eternal companionship?
Out of three hundred and twenty companions, only three hundred were left now.
"No, I don't smoke." Chu Hieu shook his head and looked into the distance, his eyes very calm, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you thinking about Tho Tho again?"
When Tho Tho was mentioned, a smile appeared on Chu Hieu's face. "I am thinking about her. It's good as long as she's safe. A child's life shouldn't be faced with these hardships. Everything we do is for a better future."
"Brother Hieu, I've always wanted to ask, why doesn't everyone go to the Sunshine Shelter?"
Chu Hieu looked at Phuong Trien, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "You were saved by us. Then why didn't you go?"
Phuong Trien lowered his head, "I have no family."
"That's right, you have no family. Who among us here still has a family? Everyone has come this far relying on a breath of air in their hearts. If we had a family to accompany us, who wouldn't want to live a peaceful life with their family? And now, everyone is seeking revenge for their families."
Had Chu Hieu escaped from the pain of losing his family in the apocalypse?
It could be said that he had.
But walking out was not as simple as lifting a foot.
If the heart couldn't walk out, then one really couldn't walk out.
Phuong Trien looked around. During the rest time, some people were leaning against the car, smoking, staring at the photo in their hands without blinking, gradually getting lost in a daze. Some were looking up at the sky, and for a long time, they couldn't come back to their senses.
During their normal interactions, everyone was very enthusiastic and happy, but during rest time, everyone's mood was very low. They were soldiers. Even if the country was gone, the responsibility on their shoulders was still there.
If someone knew about this situation, they might mock them. You are just a group of weaklings. Is there a need to fight so hard? Just stay obediently in the Sunshine Shelter.
Wouldn't it be good to enjoy a life similar to the past?
But for Luu Dao and the others, avoiding danger was the business of the common people. When there was danger, they had to rush forward.
But at this moment.
"On guard, someone has appeared in the distance."
As the voice came.
Luu Dao and the others stood up abruptly, pulled down their masks, and fully armed up.
In the distance of the plain, a figure appeared in their line of sight.
It seemed to be walking very slowly.
But it was very steady.
Luu Dao and the others' hearts tightened. If it was an ordinary survivor, seeing their appearance, they would only cheer excitedly, "We're saved, we're really saved."
But the figure in the distance was not in a hurry. It was clear that it had already discovered them, but for that figure, it was already a habit, or it had come here intentionally.
Under their wary gazes.
The figure gradually approached.
"Human you..."
Kim Pho Thien revealed a hypocritical smile, his gaze towards them like he was observing some kind of prey.
Just three words were enough to make Luu Dao and the others terrified.
This was not something an ordinary person could say.
"Armor, a product of the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter. You got that guy's help, which means you're related. I originally wanted to let go of some of the ordinary people among you and only swallow the Awakeneds, but now it seems that's definitely not possible."
His hatred for Lam Pham came from Lam Pham killing his brother.
If he encountered a guy related to Lam Pham.
He would not let them go.
Everyone knew that the unknown guy who had appeared had bad intentions. They were all vigilant, ready to fight at any time. Even if they knew that the other party was very strong, so what? If death would make them fear, then they would not have come this far.
Someone was secretly making a phone call, wanting to contact Lam Pham, who was far away in Hoang City.
How powerful was the perception of a monster like Kim Pho Thien?
A wave of psychic power.
A figure hiding behind an armored vehicle was uncontrollably lifted into the air. And the figure in the air was holding a satellite phone.
"Let me go, let me go."
The controlled person roared.
"Fire!" Luu Dao roared.
Everyone's movements were neat and uniform. They raised their guns and aimed at Kim Pho Thien.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
The firepower erupted.
Concentrated bullets rained down like a storm. Under such dense firepower, wanting to dodge was just a dream.
But what shocked them was that the high-speed rotating bullets actually stopped in front of Kim Pho Thien, unable to get any closer.
"You want to kill me with ordinary weapons?"
Kim Pho Thien sneered. With a thought, the bullets that were blocked in front of him were shot back at high speed.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
These bullets, wrapped in psychic power, hit Luu Dao and the others' armor. The terrifying force of the rebound, even with them wearing armor, they couldn't bear it. They only felt a heaviness in their chests, unable to breathe.
Kim Pho Thien looked at the figure being controlled in the air by his psychic power. With a thought, the other party's right arm became uncontrollable, and the hand holding the satellite phone smashed his own head hard.
One after another.
The satellite phone was smashed to a pulp.
"Hehe."
Kim Pho Thien's psychic power became even more violent. A crackling sound was heard, and the armor on the other person's body gradually twisted and compressed. A miserable scream resounded, and bright red blood flowed down from the cracks in the armor.
Luu Dao and the others supported their bodies. Seeing this situation, their eyes were about to split open, and they roared in anger.
"Stop, stop it for me."
His roar was powerless. In the face of absolute power, everything was just empty talk. He could only watch helplessly as his teammate in armor was compressed into a metal disc and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Such a fragile body."
Kim Pho Thien saw the human who had been easily crushed into a meat pie by him. He felt more and more grateful for his brother's love. If it weren't for the powerful serum his brother had left him, he would also be one of the fragile members today.
His gaze lowered, focusing on the remaining humans.
"Your journey ends here. Just by relying on you people, you want to end the apocalypse, it's just a dream."
Kim Pho Thien was about to make a move.
Whoosh!
A sound of breaking wind was heard.
A rock, carrying a wave of hot air, pulled a long tail and rushed towards Kim Pho Thien's head.
Clatter!
Kim Pho Thien reached out his hand, grabbed the rock that was coming at him, closed his five fingers, and crushed the rock. He looked into the distance, where there was a figure, looking at him. Even though they were very far apart, he could still clearly see the other person's eyes.
"A guy who wants to die is rare."
Kim Pho Thien didn't pay attention to Luu Dao and the others, this group of ants. He directly rushed towards the distance, so fast that he had already kicked up a cloud of dust.
As he disappeared.
Luu Dao and the others gathered around the metal disc. The flowing blood represented a companion who had just died.
Luu Dao's breathing was a bit rapid.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Death did not make them fear, but the loss of a companion made them heartbroken. That kind of suffocating pain was really unbearable.
"Are you afraid?"
Luu Dao asked.
"Not afraid."
Everyone shouted in unison.
Every time a companion died and stayed on the halfway point, Luu Dao would ask if they were afraid, but everyone's answer was "not afraid."
If anyone was afraid, Luu Dao would not force them. He would call Lam Pham and send him to the Sunshine Shelter. No one would mock him as a coward or a weak person.
Because everyone here was doing their job.
Even if they retreated, it was just that they had encountered a situation that was beyond the pressure their hearts could bear.
No matter what, in their hearts, the companion who had left was still a hero in the apocalypse.
. . .
"Why didn't you run? What do you want to do by deliberately luring me here? Or did you just want to run after throwing the rock? Don't you think such behavior is too much?"
Kim Pho Thien saw that the other party didn't run and revealed a smile. He sized up the other party. His whole body was filled with a good smell. He was truly an excellent food.
"Kim Pho Thien, I finally found you."
Thoi Tieu Phi smiled. The search process was very smooth. He had no worries today. The thing he wanted to do was the thing that had been buried in his heart. He saw the scene of that group of ordinary people fighting against Kim Pho Thien.
He wanted to save that person, but unfortunately, it was too late. He didn't have the ability.
Having seen so many deaths, his heart had long been numb, but that scene made his heart suddenly skip a beat. They clearly had no strength, but they still resisted without any fear.
This was the courage of ordinary people.
"You know me, you are a member of the Mutant organization. What, have you forgotten your former teammate? How was my outcome? His taste was not bad."
Kim Pho Thien licked his lips, savoring that delicacy, then his gaze stared at Thoi Tieu Phi, "But your taste is even better. I can already smell the fragrant aroma."
Thoi Tieu Phi reached out his hand, took off his wrist watch, and gently placed it on a rock to the side. Then he took off his shirt, and the muscles on his upper body were as strong as mountains.
During this process, he didn't say a word. After putting everything away.
He faced north, his expression calm. He put his palms together, his fingertips touching his forehead, and closed his eyes to silently recite. That was the direction of home. Since he left the Martial Arts School without permission, his home was gone.
He turned to look at Kim Pho Thien.
"Come on, let's start the first fight with me and you."
Thoi Tieu Phi clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly changing. His arms swelled, his body swelled, and a large bulge appeared on his back, which then broke, revealing two pairs of fleshy wings. In a short moment, his aura skyrocketed, several times stronger than just now.
Even Kim Pho Thien, after feeling this aura, put away his lazy smile and his expression became solemn.
He slowly raised his hand.
He pointed at Thoi Tieu Phi and said word by word.
"Your strength is very strong. My blood is excited."
