Those survivors walked in front of Lam Pham, their eyes emotional, their faces excited as they looked at him.
"Thank you."
"We thought we had no hope at all. Thank you for bringing us here. Thank you."
They looked at Lam Pham as if looking at a god. This kind of survivor who regarded him as a god, many had endured the torture of the apocalypse for a long time. After finally being rescued by him, they would show it.
Lam Pham smiled at them, "It's alright. Live a good life. Here, you can live the life you want. No one will oppress you, and no one will bully you."
Not far away.
Quan Hao, A Hai, Vuong Khai, Tu Trach Duong, and Van Kiet gathered together talking about things. When Lam Pham returned, they all looked.
Quan Hao, "My big brother is like a god in their hearts. To be able to save people at this time, honestly, I have a lot of confidence in the future."
A Hai, "It's like a familiar scene. I was also rescued by Brother Lam from despair. Brother Lam appeared before me as if stepping on seven-colored clouds."
Vuong Khai, "Stepping on seven-colored clouds to marry you?"
A Hai rolled his eyes, what nonsense.
Tu Trach Duong: "Vuong Khai was initially in Nuoc Rong with Cau Tu, eating dog food together. When he was in despair, Brother Lam pushed open the door, extended his hand towards him, and said, 'I'm here,' directly making you hug Brother Lam's thigh and cry your eyes out, right?"
Vuong Khai stared, "How did you know?"
Tu Trach Duong, "You said it yourself. That day when you were drunk, you suddenly talked about Brother Lam saving you, then you knelt before Van Kiet's thigh and acted it out. Honestly, we were all shocked."
Vuong Khai: ...?
Damn it?
He finally remembered. After waking up that day, he was completely groggy and couldn't recall what happened the night before. And he didn't ask, and they didn't say. There were no phones, so no photos were taken. Luckily there were no phones, otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing.
However...
Van Kiet said: "I was scared by you. I took out my phone on the spot and recorded a video for you, just in case you thought I made you do something the next day."
Vuong Khai: ???
At this time, Lam Pham knew he needed to let them calm down properly and accept the current situation. The transition from despair to hope needed a process, needed time.
He waved towards Vuong Khai and Quan Hao.
They instantly understood what to do. Normally, when survivors arrived here, they were the ones to receive them, register them, and arrange accommodation.
Then, he took Nguy Ho and his group to find Officer Hoang.
When they saw Officer Hoang with their own eyes, they were truly frightened.
"Officer Hoang, they are the criminals I encountered outside. This one is an Awakened; he will be helpful to you. Of course, the prerequisite is for you to see if these people can live," Lam Pham asked.
He believed in Officer Hoang's fair and just law enforcement. When encountering such matters, they were all handed over to Officer Hoang.
Officer Hoang swayed as he walked in front of Nguy Ho.
"Meow meow…"
A low growl close by.
Nguy Ho's breathing gradually became rapid, his face somewhat pale. He stared, looking at the zombie before him. Having read the "Zombie Illustrated Guide," he knew Officer Hoang's situation.
"You..."
Nguy Ho wanted to politely say "hello."
But…
…
Pfft!
Officer Hoang directly bit Nguy Ho's neck fiercely. Fresh blood splattered, covering his mouth.
"Ah..."
The survivors following Nguy Ho screamed in fright. There was even the smell of urine; it turned out they had been scared into wetting themselves.
Lam Pham muttered to himself, "When you were harming others, your mood might have been excited, agitated. But when you receive the officer's punishment, you will feel the kind of panic that the victims endured."
"The cycle of heavenly dao, one will always repeat the path of others."
Nguy Ho was miserable. Awakened ones wouldn't turn into zombies; they could only die in pain.
The group clearing the corpses looked at the situation here, their eyes calm, without any ripples. Knowing Officer Hoang, they knew Officer Hoang was punishing evil.
"Big brother, please let us go. We were all forced. Please."
"Yes, I really don't want to die."
"This is a zombie, it's really a zombie."
Hearing these guys begging for mercy.
Lam Pham shook his head, "Wrong. You only see that Officer Hoang is a zombie, but you don't see Officer Hoang's true heart. He is one of the few zombies currently who can maintain rationality, and even more so, a zombie who fulfills his duties. To save ordinary people, he can disregard his own safety and fight against the zombie tide. Even if he is bitten all over, he has never retreated."
"If Officer Hoang could speak completely, he would be very disappointed in you. He desperately wants to protect ordinary people, yet you are desperately killing them. What's the use of regretting now? If regret were useful, what would be the need for police?"
He spoke slowly.
The survivors begging for mercy looked at Lam Pham, their mouths open, wanting to say something, but for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
In their minds.
Images flashed by.
Those were images of other survivors begging for mercy, but they were raising the weapons in their hands, viciously smashing heads, even cursing and laughing loudly while hitting.
At least at that time, they had never thought that they would have to pay the price for their actions in the future.
They had even become accustomed to it.
The collapse of order was their reliance on lawlessness. No one would control them, and even less would anyone arrest them. They just needed to act according to their own preferences.
Lam Pham saw they were speechless, shook his head, and said no more. What happened next was Officer Hoang's business.
Officer Hoang walked in front of a strong survivor, let out a low roar, opened his mouth, pfft, bit down. The intense pain made the other party let out a sharp, miserable scream.
But this kind of sound didn't last long.
The other party turned into a zombie, and the moment he turned into a zombie, he actually tried to attack Officer Hoang, but was smashed in the head by Officer Hoang's slap.
"When he was a human, he was extremely vicious. After turning into a zombie, he still dared to attack Officer Hoang. Truly..."
Lam Pham shook his head. What else good could be said?
The newly arrived survivors heard the miserable screams from afar and didn't know what was happening.
Vuong Khai calmly explained, "Officer Hoang is punishing those vicious people. Officer Hoang has always maintained social order. When he encounters rioters, he will bite them to death. Of course, you can rest assured, Officer Hoang is rational; he will not attack law-abiding ordinary citizens."
"Don't hide, don't try to hide. Officer Hoang can smell the scent of evil on people."
Vuong Khai explained very clearly. In fact, he was also telling the newly arrived survivors, to give them some peace of mind, like a preventive shot.
Human nature was too complex, too easily changed.
So, to maintain peace and tranquility, besides having a stable order, there was an even greater need for corresponding checks, and Officer Hoang was a kind of check.
Live well, live happily. Don't always have those thoughts that shouldn't appear, then nothing will happen.
Currently, the number of people in the shelter was increasing.
Where there are people, there is a jianghu (martial world/underworld).
And in the jianghu, there are disputes.
He also didn't want this kind of thing to happen in the Sunshine Shelter.
Whoever dared, he would dare to fight them to the death.
