Because it was truly too dangerous.
One could only say that Chu Bang's awakened ability was truly a top-tier ability in the apocalypse, blending in like a fish in water, completely without needing to worry about the existence of zombies.
"Thank you, thank you so much. Please."
Dam Thanh patted Chu Bang's shoulder. In the apocalypse, human feelings still had to be there. Of course, he was always wary of strangers. As for why he had no vigilance at all towards Lam Pham, the reason was naturally very simple.
When the other party's strength was overwhelmingly strong.
There was no need for speculation.
If someone wanted to do them harm, they absolutely wouldn't need to think of those schemes.
Chu Bang smiled and said: "What are you saying? This apocalypse is truly wretched, truly damnable. Helping each other is what we should do."
Dam Thanh sighed, "Yes, if everyone could help each other and unite, the apocalypse really wouldn't be as terrifying as imagined."
After saying this, that smiling face appeared in Dam Thanh's mind. As a man, for a man's face to always appear in his mind, thinking about it, it still felt a bit strange.
But... Dam Thanh was willing to see that face every day.
That represented a sense of security.
Who said only women desired a sense of security? Big men also needed it.
Mao Binh had the cargo trucks enter the base and at the same time convened everyone to transport them. Seeing all kinds of supplies, the survivors were very excited, with an indescribable joy. Life was developing in a beautiful direction.
Within Huong Son base, rumors gradually spread.
It was that their Huong Son base would merge with Hoang City in the future. As for why they were still staying here, the reason was the hope of converging with more survivors.
The territory was too large. If there was only the Duong Quang shelter in Hoang City, that location was truly too small. Some people wanted to go to the Duong Quang shelter, but the journey was too far. If there was a nearby shelter, wouldn't it be safer?
This time, Dam Thanh was still quite enthusiastic towards Chu Bang.
The other party had brought so many supplies. No matter what, for the sake of the supplies, one had to treat them a little better.
Living room.
"Simple tea, nothing good to entertain with."
"Very good, being able to chat with everyone is already a very good thing."
Dam Thanh said: "If there's a chance, I can let you meet Lam Pham. He is an extremely magical existence, possessing unparalleled strength. I dare not say what the future world will be like, but as long as he is here, humanity will not be exterminated."
"Good, if there's a chance, I definitely want to meet such a character."
Chu Bang showed a very expectant appearance, but in his heart, he was already wary of such a person. He had read the Zombie Picture Book; it was just that he still didn't know the situation of the zombies sent by the Corpse God to the Duong Quang shelter in Hoang City.
He could see that when the name "Lam Pham" was mentioned, not only Dam Thanh showed a worshipping expression, but the people around him were also the same.
This showed that Lam Pham's status in their hearts was very high.
But no matter what, the Corpse God was his god. The end of humanity was predetermined; no one could change it.
They chatted very casually.
Chu Bang also displayed his persona perfectly.
The purpose was to win their favor. As long as they had a good impression of him, then anything would be easy to say.
A moment later.
Mao Tinh Tinh hurriedly came in and said: "Brother Dam, Brother Lam is talking to us on the radio. Can you come and see quickly?"
Hearing it was Lam Pham.
Dam Thanh suddenly stood up, patted Chu Bang's shoulder and said: "Old brother, your luck is really good. Let's go, let's go take a look together. I'll introduce you by the way."
"Okay." Chu Bang smiled, then let's take a look.
Communication room.
The bright and shining radio equipment was Huong Son base's only tool for communicating with the Duong Quang shelter.
Chu Bang observed the surrounding situation. It seemed this radio equipment was a very important thing for Huong Son base.
Dam Thanh said: "Hello."
"Hello."
Laughter came from the other side.
Chu Bang listened. Sure enough, it was just as recorded in the Zombie Picture Book; his voice sounded very young.
At this time, Lam Pham's voice came from the other side again.
"Has anything happened on your Huong Son side?"
Regarding the attack of the million-strong zombie horde, Lam Pham deliberately asked. If something had really happened to Huong Son, they would definitely use the radio equipment to contact him.
Although they hadn't contacted, he still wanted to ask proactively.
He knew Dam Thanh and the others wouldn't contact him unless they encountered something they couldn't solve. But some things weren't as simple as they appeared on the surface, often like a tide, wave after wave. The ripples in front might seem small, but in reality, they were paving the way for the big waves behind.
Dam Thanh: "No, everything is fine."
Lam Pham: "That's good. Yesterday, the Duong Quang shelter encountered a very strange zombie, which triggered a million-strong zombie horde to launch an attack on my place."
"Huh? A million-strong zombie horde? Then are you okay?"
Dam Thanh heard this, and his expression also changed, especially the words "million-strong," which thoroughly scared him. Even the zombie horde that attacked Huong Son probably didn't even have a fraction of that number.
If Huong Son base encountered such an offensive, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Not to mention Dam Thanh's eyes widened.
Even the group of people standing behind were frightened by what Lam Pham said. Their brains found it somewhat difficult to imagine such a scene. A million-strong zombie horde, that would definitely be a pitch-black mass.
Chu Bang's eyebrows twitched slightly. A million-strong zombie horde?
He was a bit disbelieving.
Lam Pham: "It's okay, it's all resolved. Honestly, I'm still very grateful to that strange zombie. You know I'm clearing the zombies in Hoang City. That group of zombies is scattered on every street, making it a bit troublesome to clean up. Gathering them together makes it much easier."
Dam Thanh: ...?
Mao Tinh Tinh: ...?
Chu Bang blinked, letting the other party brag wildly. I guarantee I won't say a word of nonsense.
Mao Tinh Tinh exclaimed, "Brother Lam, you're too formidable! It's truly hard to imagine what a million-strong zombie horde looks like. If we encountered such a situation, we would probably have been scared senseless long ago."
"Lam Pham," "It's no scene, just a pitch-black mass. I don't even know how many zombies were trampled to death by their own kind. The only trouble is the cleanup work. There are too many corpses. Fortunately, I have quite a few people here. Everyone is cleaning up. Maybe after a while, it can be cleaned up."
On the other end of the radio equipment, Lam Pham wasn't bragging to them but was just telling them the actual situation, without any exaggeration, and also letting them understand that the current situation was a bit strange, meaning that a certain very terrifying zombie was deliberately hidden among the zombies.
Dam Thanh said: "By the way, Chu Bang, the person in charge of Diem City base, is right beside me. He just brought us several truckloads of supplies."
After speaking, he nodded at Chu Bang and handed the communication device to him.
Chu Bang smiled and nodded, took the device, "Mr. Lam, hello, my name is Chu Bang."
"Hello, thank you for your help. I know your ability; camouflage is a very formidable ability. With the supplies you transported, I think they can live even better."
"Not at all, not at all. This is all what I should do. I heard Brother Dam tell me about you. I've admired you for a long time. Brother Dam said Mr. Lam is a small lamp in the hearts of everyone in the apocalypse, illuminating the path ahead for everyone."
Chu Bang, upon coming up, immediately showered Lam Pham with a barrage of flattery, his ass-kissing extremely loud.
Lam Pham smiled and said: "Everyone is a bright lamp in someone else's heart. Speaking of your name, I heard a friend tell me about a person also named Chu Bang, but he's not on the Diem City side."
"Really? There are really too many people with the same name. My name has always been very common; it's very normal to have the same name. However, Mr. Lam, this survivor named Chu Bang that your friend mentioned, where is he? If possible, I can go find him and receive him. One more person means one more bit of strength."
Chu Bang appeared very calm. He dared to guarantee that the Chu Bang the other party mentioned was himself.
The ones who could safely escape from his hands were that woman and a child. They must have exposed his name.
For Chu Bang, he was extremely vigilant about this. Damn it, society was so big, yet they could still bump into each other. It had to be said, this was a very bad thing.
Lam Pham, "Indeed. After some time, I will go to Huong Son. We can meet then and talk about our views on the future."
Chu Bang said: "Okay, no problem. I'm very much looking forward to meeting Mr. Lam."
Lam Pham said: "Although my place is very far from Huong Son base, with my speed, I can arrive very quickly. It's just that after what happened yesterday, it's not very convenient for me to leave. Otherwise, if you wait for me, I can arrive in a few minutes."
Chu Bang: ...?
The distance between Huong Son base and Hoang City was at least eight or nine hundred kilometers, yet the other party actually said a few minutes.
He observed the expressions of Dam Thanh and the others. They were very calm, without any change. Clearly, this could only mean that they all believed the other party could arrive here in a few minutes.
For Chu Bang, he definitely couldn't meet Lam Pham now. For some reason, he had a panicked feeling, as if afraid of his true self being seen through.
"It's okay, Mr. Lam, attend to your business first. There's no rush for this short period."
"Alright then."
Chu Bang didn't continue talking with Lam Pham but handed the device to Dam Thanh.
After chatting casually for a while.
He hung up the device.
Dam Thanh thought about what Lam Pham had just said. Also a person named Chu Bang. To be specifically named by Lam Pham, there were usually only two possibilities.
The first type, that person named Chu Bang was definitely being remembered by Lam Pham.
The second type, the other party might have problems.
Then the Chu Bang standing before them now, was he the Chu Bang Lam Pham mentioned?
Chu Bang said: "Brother Dam, if Mr. Lam really wants to come someday, you must definitely notify me. I've really been looking forward to meeting him in person for a long time."
Seeing Chu Bang so eagerly wanting to meet Lam Pham, Dam Thanh also wondered if he was overthinking. Perhaps he really was overthinking. But one should still be wary of others. He smiled and patted Chu Bang's shoulder.
"Rest assured, as long as Mr. Lam comes, I will definitely let you meet him."
Chu Bang, after leaving Huong Son base, the first place he went was the Corpse God's location.
Even if the sky was dim, it couldn't block his path.
Chu Bang immediately told the Corpse God about Lam Pham's situation at the Duong Quang shelter in Hoang City.
In the darkness, the Corpse God, which was constantly expanding, its flesh and blood gradually beginning to merge with the building, had some changes in its emotions.
Sure enough, it was as it thought.
Fortunately, it had remained stable and hadn't attacked Huong Son base at the same time.
It had personally witnessed the scene of that battle. The strength displayed by that human had already surpassed its imagination. Even now, it had no way to deal with him. Before building a true corpse nest, it absolutely could not come into contact with the other party.
If they really met, would the other party sense that this human before them was already controlled by it?
Or, was there still a need to keep this parasite by its side? Or should it just deal with it now, and then it would just hide here peacefully, waiting for the next opportunity?
Now, Chu Bang still respectfully awaited the Corpse God's orders.
It was just that he still didn't know that in this short period, the Corpse God was thinking about how to deal with him, life or death, constantly hesitating.
Instantly.
In the darkness, a tentacle enveloped out, instantly wrapping around Chu Bang.
Chu Bang was expressionless. He believed the Corpse God would not harm him and even looked forward to it a little. The tentacles appearing behind him bloomed like flower petals, "phut phut," sticking to his back.
A tragic scream was heard.
The face parasitized by the Corpse God peeled off.
"Corpse God, what is this for?" Chu Bang asked.
"You, your aura is very dangerous. Returning to your former appearance will be good for you."
Chu Bang understood the Corpse God's intentions, moved to tears, his eye sockets red. The Corpse God loved him, knew that he would one day meet Lam Pham, so to protect him, it made him return to the appearance of an ordinary person.
It was just that this feeling was so comfortable.
He felt as if his own strength had been stripped away, empty, without any feeling at all.
He really hated the current situation.
