Carrying a sword, his face was identical.
It really was Lam Pham.
Clang!
The satellite phone slipped from Nguy Ho's hand and fell to the ground. His eyes bulged as large as a bull's, and his entire being fell into a dazed state. After a while, he tremblingly raised his hand, his face full of horror, pointing at Lam Pham.
"You... Are you human or a ghost?"
Lam Pham glanced at the situation. It seemed he had arrived just in time. The young lad lying on the ground should be the survivor whose roar he had heard earlier, telling him the location.
He sighed.
He hadn't expected such a thing to happen in a place unknown to him.
Even... he thought, perhaps this kind of thing wasn't a rare occurrence, but a normal state of affairs. It was possible that many survivor bases were experiencing such things.
"Of course, I'm human," Lam Pham said.
"Impossible. You're in Hoang City. This place is so far from Hoang City. How long has it been since you called me? Impossible, it's an illusion, it must be an illusion."
Nguy Ho shook his head, unable to believe the current situation. His mind wouldn't allow him to think about such unrealistic things.
Lam Pham said: "It's been a while. On the way here, I happened to need to pee, so I passed by a service area and went in for a quick urination, which delayed me a little. Otherwise, I could have arrived even sooner."
He could see the disbelief in Nguy Ho's eyes, and even more, a kind of survivor's ferocity. It was evident that during this period of the apocalypse, he had been pursuing darkness for a long time and was deeply mired in it.
As for the other survivors, they had a feeling of being oppressed to the point of numbness.
Fortunately, he had arrived.
Perhaps he was a little late, but definitely not too late.
"Bullshit!" Nguy Ho roared: "I get it! You were actually nearby all along! You did this to me just to mess with me, just to scare me, right? Do you really think I, Nguy Ho, am easily scared? Damn it, kill him for me!"
Following his roar, those survivors who had been oppressed into numbness by Nguy Ho didn't move. For them, it was as if they were hoping for Lam Pham's victory.
But there were still survivors who followed Nguy Ho in doing evil.
A strong man held a fire axe in his hand and, without thinking, swung it straight at Lam Pham's head.
Facing the sudden attack, feeling his own life threatened.
He merely glanced at the other person and knew it was time for self-defense.
He kicked out.
Bang!
A dark shadow instantly flew out, directly colliding violently with the wall. Everyone stared, looking at the figure that had been thoroughly embedded in the wall, motionless. They were truly dumbfounded.
"I hope you can be a bit more rational. If you initiate an attack on me, I will defend myself."
Lam Pham said softly.
That kick was truly effective; it indeed intimidated several survivors who were restless and had some ideas.
If the survivors of the Sunshine Shelter knew that someone still dared to confront Lam Pham now, they would definitely exclaim, "Impossible! Is there really something wrong with their heads?"
Haven't you read the contents of the "Zombie Illustrated Guide"?
If you've read it, how dare you still make a move?
"You..." Nguy Ho pointed at Lam Pham in fear. He knew he might be finished.
Lam Pham looked at him, "An Awakened?"
He felt Nguy Ho's situation was a bit special and thought of Awakened ones... not unfamiliar, but it had been a long time since he had encountered an evil-doing Awakened.
"Come with me to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter. Officer Hoang should be very happy to chat with you."
The flesh and blood of an Awakened was a great tonic for Officer Hoang.
No, it should be letting Officer Hoang punish the villains in the apocalypse. The act of kicking the opponent to death just now was truly because he was attacked and forced to defend himself. This was something that couldn't be helped.
Since the outbreak of the apocalypse until now, he had never once actively harmed others; it was always accomplished under circumstances of self-defense.
Nguy Ho looked at Lam Pham, who was carrying a sword, and clenched his fists. He clearly wanted to resist, but for some reason, he didn't have the courage, as if he was suppressed by immense pressure.
Lam Pham walked over to Little Dao, helped him up, and said gently: "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Little Dao replied somewhat weakly.
His body was just sore, the pain from being beaten.
Little Dao was still a bit dazed.
He really hadn't expected the other person to arrive so quickly; it was like a dream, unbelievable that it was real.
"It's alright. I can imagine what you've all been through during this time. I'm here to take you to the Sunshine Shelter. Once you get there, you can live an ordinary and normal life."
Lam Pham knew that all living people longed for a peaceful life.
Little Dao nodded heavily.
This was the most reassuring sentence he had heard since the apocalypse began.
There weren't too many emotional fluctuations, but every word heard in his heart brought a sense of peace.
Lam Pham found a rope and tied Nguy Ho's wrists, then gently patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. When we get to the shelter, I'll hand you over to Officer Hoang."
Nguy Ho looked up at Lam Pham.
He had seen content related to Officer Hoang in the "Zombie Illustrated Guide." Could it be that zombie?
The thought of it being a zombie sent a shiver of fear through him.
At this moment, Nguy Ho thought of various ways to escape, but under Lam Pham's gaze, he knew it wasn't the time yet.
He led them out of the tunnel base.
Because it was in the mountains, there were no large vehicles nearby. To bring them back to Hoang City, walking was definitely not an option. On the way out, Lam Pham chatted with Little Dao, asking about Nguy Ho.
Listening to Little Dao's explanation.
Lam Pham already knew what Nguy Ho's outcome would be.
Officer Hoang had a high degree of tolerance for survivors.
If there were some moral issues, Officer Hoang usually wouldn't harm the other person, at most showing some disgust. But if the other person had innocent lives on their hands, given Officer Hoang's character, he would probably really capture them.
At least until now.
He hadn't seen any particularly special survivors.
In fact, Lam Pham could have let Nguy Ho fend for himself here, but he didn't. Nguy Ho was an Awakened who had been oppressing and harming innocent survivors in the apocalypse.
If he let him be, and other desperate survivors encountered him, they would probably become even more desperate. Moreover, not all survivors would be as lucky as Little Dao and his group to receive a satellite phone.
The natural result would be to die in despair under oppression.
Very soon, he found a bus parked by the roadside, cleared out the zombies inside, and invited them to get on.
Little Dao and the others were very puzzled.
They didn't know what this was for.
Or were they going to take a bus to Hoang City later?
It wasn't until they saw the bus being lifted up that they knew things were often not as simple as they imagined.
Lam Pham thought that the Huong Son base wasn't too far from here.
It was just convenient to make a trip to Huong Son on the way, to check on that survivor, Chu Bang.
When Lam Pham started running.
The survivors in the bus exclaimed... they personally experienced something they wouldn't have believed if they hadn't felt it themselves in this lifetime.
When Nguy Ho saw the scenery, which his naked eyes could no longer capture, flash past his eyes.
His expression was exaggerated, gradually changing, and finally twisting into despair.
How could this still be something a human could do?
Thinking of this.
He regretted it immensely, wishing he could slap himself twice.
Why did he have to seek death by actively making that call?
If he hadn't called to provoke.
None of this would have happened.
Thinking of this, his eyes looked at Little Dao with anger.
It was all this guy's fault.
