"What do you mean by this?"
Thoi Tieu Phi waved the book in his hand, genuinely not understanding Chung Hong's technique. Was she trying to tease him?
"Look at the characters below the book title on the cover," Chung Hong said.
Thoi Tieu Phi looked closely.
His mouth moved involuntarily.
"Global sales exceeding one hundred million, a masterpiece of painstaking effort by the renowned author Tan Phong, taking you into a world full of love."
"Recommended by a million criminals worldwide. Reading it brings spiritual sublimation. How to become a good person full of love from a criminal."
After muttering each word to himself.
Thoi Tieu Phi looked up, staring at Chung Hong. His gaze spoke volumes, the meaning equally clear, as if to say, "And you still say you're not playing with me?"
Chung Hong smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. If you've read this book, you'll find that it's really not bad. It's especially suitable for them to read. It can adjust their irritable hearts."
Thoi Tieu Phi casually tossed the book onto a nearby table, "If there's nothing else, you can leave."
He didn't know what Chung Hong was up to. In short, it was just a bit abnormal. But for him, none of this was important.
Facing Thoi Tieu Phi's dismissal, Chung Hong knew it was time to leave. As she left, she deliberately said.
"It's really worth a look. The gazes of those students of yours are very terrifying."
After speaking, she turned and left.
Arriving with flair, leaving with flair.
This was the style of Poison Thorn Chung Hong.
After Chung Hong left, Thoi Tieu Phi looked at this group of students who had already made him start to doubt whether bringing them out was the right decision.
"You all heard what just happened. Seven more Mutators have died tragically. I hope you can keep this in mind. The apocalypse is not as simple as you imagine."
"You're on your own."
Thoi Tieu Phi turned and left. After taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned back to pick up the book, and left without a word.
The students left behind looked at each other.
This matter had no effect on them at all, not even the slightest ripple.
...
Hoang City Sunshine Shelter.
"Dr. Hang, Dr. Tran, how is she?"
Lam Pham was relatively concerned about the woman he had brought back. After another two days of treatment, he deliberately came to ask about her condition.
Tran Hien, wearing a white coat, said, "We just hypnotized her to get her into a deep sleep. After my treatment with Dr. Hang, her condition has improved a lot."
They really hadn't expected that after the apocalypse, they would actually have the opportunity to return to their old profession. This was something they hadn't thought of.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lam Pham said gratefully.
Tran Hien and Hang Dat hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No, no, not at all. We really like this kind of work."
Lam Pham was satisfied to hear that they liked this kind of work.
"By the way, have many people come for psychological counseling these past two days?"
There were many survivors in the shelter. Some of them just appeared normal on the surface, but everyone's psychology more or less had some problems.
Keeping it bottled up inside was not a wise choice.
"Quite a few. They are all post-apocalyptic sequelae. The treatment is not difficult. As long as they maintain a good mentality, it will be fine," Tran Hien said.
Hang Dat said, "Everyone has come out of a disaster. It's relatively normal to have these symptoms."
Hearing them say this.
Lam Pham's mood relaxed a lot.
This kind of development was what he most wanted to see. Fortunately, he had thought of this aspect. Although it wasn't too early, it wasn't too late either.
"Don't worry, the apocalypse will end soon," Lam Pham said.
Tran Hien and Hang Dat looked at Lam Pham in shock. In their view, would the apocalypse really have a day when it ended?
A smile appeared on Lam Pham's face. He didn't say when it would end, just told them. What everyone needed was not a fixed time, but a kind of belief.
When belief takes root and sprouts in the heart, it will grow healthily and become more and more unshakable.
At this moment.
The satellite phone rang.
He took out the phone. The number was that of the zombie emperor, Vuong Tu Hien.
"You guys are busy. I'll be going first," Lam Pham said goodbye to Tran Hien and Hang Dat and walked outside, answering the phone at the same time, asking about the situation. Usually, when the zombie emperor Vuong Tu Hien called, it was definitely not for nothing.
It was usually for something important.
Thanh City.
This was where Vuong Tu Hien was staying.
"What did you say happened?"
Lam Pham rushed over from Hoang City and saw that Vuong Tu Hien was already waiting for him. He didn't say much nonsense and asked directly.
Vuong Tu Hien said, "Brother Lam, the zombies I have scattered outside have sent back bad news. A large number of zombies have crossed the border and entered our territory. And the number is very large, with a degree of mutation beyond imagination."
Hearing Vuong Tu Hien say this, Lam Pham frowned. This was not good news. He hadn't even cleaned up the zombies in his own country, and now there was a foreign zombie tide crossing the border to come here. This was just adding trouble for them.
Lam Pham walked and talked with Vuong Tu Hien.
The matter was not complicated. It was just that another zombie tide had arrived.
"Zombie tides don't form for no reason. There must be a Creator leading them," Lam Pham said.
He wouldn't dare to say he knew zombies very well, but after so many things, he was considered half a zombie expert. He had a good grasp of many situations in his heart.
Vuong Tu Hien said, "Yes, I think so too. There must be a Creator leading them. And the reason why they are leading them to our place can only mean that there are no more living people in their homeland, or rather, nothing that can threaten them, so the Creator wants to expand its range."
Lam Pham nodded, strongly agreeing with what Vuong Tu Hien had said.
Walking on.
He smelled the fragrance of flowers.
"It smells so good. Did you wear perfume?"
Lam Pham wondered if Vuong Tu Hien thought he was a zombie and had a smell, so he wanted to use perfume to modify the smell a bit. After all, he still had a female companion here.
"No, there's a flower garden ahead, with many flowers planted," Vuong Tu Hien pointed ahead and said.
Lam Pham was very curious and walked forward. What fell into his eyes were full of flowers. These flowers were in full bloom and very beautiful, making him unable to resist taking out his camera to take pictures, capturing the beautiful scenery of the flowers before him.
"Did you plant all of these?"
"Yes, I planted them. She likes flowers."
Vuong Tu Hien had a sense of satisfaction, and when he mentioned "her," the happiness on his face was unconcealable.
"You're really good. Whoever is loved by you must be a happy thing. Have you ever thought about being with her?"
"But I'm a zombie."
"Love can break boundaries."
"That sentence seems to be from some movie. It's probably impossible for me and her, but I'm also very satisfied. It's good enough to be able to see her."
Vuong Tu Hien thought how good it would be if he wasn't a zombie, but that wasn't right either. If he wasn't a zombie, he would have probably died long ago, without even the chance to live and see the sun.
"Do you think you are a zombie?"
"Am I not?"
"I don't think we should judge by appearance. Your behavior, your thoughts, I think are no different from humans, and even better than some humans. In my heart, you are a person now," Lam Pham said very firmly.
And as he spoke these words.
Vuong Tu Hien turned his head sharply, staring at Lam Pham, who was standing beside him, admiring the flowers without blinking.
All this time, he had thought that his cooperation with Lam Pham was because he was low-key enough, knowing that a wise man submits to circumstances. And the reason why the other party didn't harm him, and was even willing to communicate with him, was because he was a zombie, could communicate with zombies, and had value to be used.
Now, he heard Lam Pham say with his own mouth that in his heart, he was a "person."
This made Vuong Tu Hien's heart very complicated.
"Thank you," Vuong Tu Hien said with gratitude.
"What are you thanking me for?" Lam Pham smiled.
"Thank you for never discriminating against me."
"I have never discriminated against anyone."
Lam Pham spoke with great sincerity and earnestness, and was not deceiving.
After Vuong Tu Hien became a zombie, his heart gradually changed. His heart would be brutal, would be irritable, but this great Buddha, Lam Pham, completely suppressed the darkness in his heart.
Everyone has a Buddha in their heart. When the Buddha is overthrown, then the devil will appear.
After admiring the flower garden for a while, he said goodbye to Vuong Tu Hien. He wanted to go over there and check the situation. Zombie tides were always dangerous, and the destruction they caused was very astonishing. They absolutely could not be underestimated.
After Lam Pham left.
Vuong Tu Hien looked at the already invisible back, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
"Thank you..."
...
The shore of Hoang City.
Two figures sneakily came ashore.
"We've reached Hoang City. The security is really tight. Both bridges have actually been built into fortresses."
One of the soaking wet, strong men said with a fierce look on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense. We still have to complete Boss Trinh's orders," another man with yellow hair shivered, then tugged at his clothes. The feeling of his clothes sticking to his body was not very comfortable.
The strong man said, "Is the death of those seven people really related to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter?"
"Why do you ask so much? We just need to do our job. Does it have half a dime to do with us?"
"That's true."
When they learned that their seven companions had been killed, they were very shocked. It was hard to imagine who had this kind of ability. Later, they heard that it might be related to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter.
They naturally returned to normal.
The Hoang City Sunshine Shelter was very famous. Among the people living in the apocalypse, there was no one who didn't know about it.
The introductions in the "Zombie Illustrated Guide" were truly fantastic for many people. The content in the guide was a bit unbelievable, but more people believed the content inside was real.
Those seven companions could only be said to be really unlucky. They could have met anyone, but they had to meet someone from that side.
On the contrary, it was said that the people from the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter had always been hunting Mutators.
Therefore, when their Boss Trinh learned of this matter, he was completely enraged. Although Boss Trinh didn't dare to come for revenge himself, who could swallow this insult?
Naturally, if there was a grudge, it had to be avenged.
So Boss Trinh sent them to secretly enter Hoang City, not to have a direct conflict with the other party, but to secretly find a survivor here, kill one at will, leave a note, and tell the other party that the butcher Trinh Thien Hao was not someone you could just provoke.
"Let's go. Let's go inside first. I used to work in Hoang City, so I'm relatively familiar with the environment here."
They didn't dare to drive, for fear of being discovered by the people here.
Instead, they moved through the small alleys of the city, using buildings as cover to avoid being discovered.
"Do you think this Lam Pham is that awesome? He actually cleaned up the zombies in Hoang City so cleanly. This is a whole city, for crying out loud."
"Damn it, it really is terrifying enough. I don't know how this guy evolved. He must have been on drugs."
"Let's be careful. In any case, as long as we don't meet him, it's fine. Next, let's see which unlucky person becomes our first kill."
"Speaking of first kills, it reminds me of games. Sigh, when I played games back then, I spent over a hundred thousand. I never thought an apocalypse would make me lose everything."
"I can't tell you're so rich."
"Hehe, it's nothing. My two old folks' pensions are quite a lot. They used to be government officials. If they died, I would have gotten a considerable amount of funeral expenses. I never thought an apocalypse would make me lose everything. Don't you think it's infuriating?"
"It's really a pity."
The two of them exchanged words in low voices, their expressions very vigilant.
Gradually.
The two who were walking through the alley stopped.
"Do you hear a sound?"
"A sound? I don't think so."
"No, it's that rustling sound."
He listened carefully, very carefully.
"It seems... there seems to be one."
"It's not that there seems to be, it's that there really is. Be careful. I feel the situation is a bit wrong."
Instantly.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of something tearing through the air came.
When they reacted, they were surprised to find that their feet had already left the ground. They looked down and saw that fleshy red tentacles were wrapped around their bodies.
They struggled desperately, but the strength of the flesh and blood tentacles that bound them was too strong. No matter how they struggled, it had no effect at all.
The eyes on the flesh and blood tentacles stared at them.
"Didn't they say there were no zombies? What the hell is this thing?"
"I don't know. Hurry up and think of a way, or we'll die."
They were completely panicked, already stunned by the situation before them, their minds a complete mess. Who would have thought something like this would happen?
Both their arms and bodies were tightly confined. Even if they wanted to struggle, they needed space to do so.
The tentacles were so terrifyingly huge. They couldn't imagine how huge the main body was.
A moment later.
The two Mutators finally saw Little Than's main body. Their mouths were wide open, their eyes almost popping out.
"Creator... Creator..."
They mistook Little Than for a Creator.
Except for a Creator, they really couldn't think of anything else.
Little Than's eyes shifted slightly, staring at the two guys he had caught. He felt a deep malice from them. His dad had told him not to harm others at will.
But that very scary human had told him, "You must protect Hoang City well. If you encounter an intruder who you feel is full of malice, you can deal with them yourself, or you can inform others."
He was very obedient about this.
If Little Than hadn't been obedient, these two Mutators would have been dead long ago. How could they still have a chance to live?
During this period in Hoang City, Little Than's tentacles, if not everywhere, had definitely spread very far. Any person who came to Hoang City with hostility would be sensed by Little Than. Perhaps this was a hunter's sense.
"Great Creator, we unintentionally intruded into your territory. Please let us go," the strong man begged for mercy in fear. The first time he saw Little Than's main body, he was already scared silly.
To be able to speak was already the greatest courage.
The other man with yellow hair had long since been scared and peed his pants. Little Than's appearance was truly terrifying. His body was tilted towards the sky, without any sense of celebration. Instead, the feeling he gave them was that of being stared at by a particularly terrifying monster. The bone-chilling feeling made his whole body uncomfortable.
A timid person might really be scared to death.
"Aooo..."
"Aooo..."
Little Than roared, his voice very loud, like an air raid siren, spreading throughout Hoang City.
Co Hang, Captain Lei, and the others in the shelter all heard this sound.
That was Little Than's roar.
Now Little Than was a member of Hoang City.
When they had nothing to do, they would naturally come to see him, to shorten the distance a bit, and lay a solid foundation for getting along in the future.
"It's Little Than's voice. Let's go, let's go take a look."
"Let's go."
In the past, Little Than was very quiet. At most, he would just wander around the city with his tentacles, or use his tentacles to pick up Lao Than. After all, it was a very normal situation for a child to miss his father.
Soon.
When they arrived at Little Than's place, they were surprised to see Little Than's tentacles binding two strangers.
"Son, what are you doing?"
Lao Than saw this situation and his face changed dramatically. He thought Little Than was harming the people here. This was something he couldn't tolerate, and he was even very heartbroken. Since coming to Hoang City, the people here had been very good to him, not only checking his body, but also taking care of his life.
This made him see the inheritance of civilization and a peaceful society.
Captain Lei hurriedly said, "Uncle Lao Than, it's not what you think. We don't know these two. Little Than is helping us catch bad guys."
Lao Than looked at his son, then at Captain Lei, a little puzzled. Was that really the case?
Co Hang also said that it was indeed so. He had never seen these two people either.
Getting this explanation, Lao Than couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Little Than would harm others.
Captain Lei said, "Who are you?"
The bound strong man and yellow-haired man had thought they were going to die, but unexpectedly, there was a turn of events. Someone else had come. It seemed this Creator was raised by them. But now was not the time to think about these things. They just wanted to live.
"We are good people, just passing by, and then it tied us up," the strong man said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, that's right," the yellow-haired man nodded frantically.
So flustered. Who would have thought it would be this kind of situation?
If they had known earlier that there was a Creator in Hoang City, they would never have come here to cause trouble, even if it killed them.
Captain Lei and Co Hang naturally would not believe this kind of statement.
They were all soldiers. Especially Captain Lei, what kind of person had he not seen? These two clearly didn't look like good people.
"Do you think I'll believe what you say? Little Than is well-known for being sensible in our Hoang City. If you were good people, would he stop you? I advise you to tell the truth."
Captain Lei shouted.
The strong man cried and said, "I'm really a good person."
"I'm also a good person."
Hearing them still say this, Captain Lei looked at Co Hang.
"Let Chuc Thanh come and see them."
"Okay."
Co Hang contacted him.
The strong man and the yellow-haired man saw that they didn't believe them at all, and instantly understood that the people here seemed to be very difficult to deal with. It was definitely not that simple.
Soon.
Chuc Thanh, Lao Chung, Dong Giai, and the others arrived.
"Captain Lei, Brother Hang, what's the situation?" Chuc Thanh was naturally not afraid of Little Than. As soon as he saw them all there, he ran over. Now who didn't know that among the people Brother Lam had saved, there was Little Than's father? Now Little Than was the guardian zombie of Hoang City.
The security was high. Anyone who came to cause trouble, whether they could get out alive or not, would depend on Little Than's mood that day.
"See what the situation is with these two," Captain Lei said.
Chuc Thanh looked and exclaimed, "Mutators..."
In an instant.
Captain Lei and Co Hang's faces changed. They knew that Mutators were all from the Mutator organization. This was also the organization Lam Pham had been looking for.
They hadn't expected someone from the Mutator organization to come to their door. This was something they hadn't thought of.
Of course, this was chapter 2.
The strong man and the yellow-haired man looked at each other. Oh my god, this is terrifying. They saw their identities at a glance. How could they hide now?
Co Hang said, "As expected. Little Than can also sense whether the other party has hostility. They sneaked into our Hoang City, definitely wanting to do some damage. I think we should keep them and wait for Little Pham to come back to interrogate them slowly."
Captain Lei said, "Yes, it seems that's the only way."
Co Hang said, "Little Than, don't hurt them for now, but don't let them go either. Keep an eye on them and wait for Lam Pham to come back."
"Aooo..."
Little Than roared softly.
Captain Lei patted Lao Than's shoulder, "Uncle Lao Than, your son has done a great service. If he hadn't discovered these two guys, who knows what kind of losses our shelter would have suffered."
Lao Than smiled, the wrinkles on his face all squeezed together. As a father, who wouldn't want their son to be outstanding? Even though his son had become like this.
But in Lao Than's heart, he was still his son, and still someone he could be proud of.
"This is what this kid should do. If he let bad people in, I would have to beat him with a stick," Lao Than's mood was very happy. The worry he had just now had long since vanished.
Chuc Thanh and the others blinked.
Impressive.
Perhaps only Lao Than, as Little Than's father, could say such a thing.
Anyone else would be scared to death.
However, from this incident, it could be seen that Little Than was really good in Hoang City. Hoang City was really too big. Although there were only two bridges connecting it, there were waterways. It was indeed very difficult to be discovered by Mutators who wanted to come here.
Now with Little Than's existence.
Then what was there to worry about?
Thinking of this.
Chuc Thanh walked up to Little Than's tentacle, looked at the eyeball on it, and gave it a thumbs-up. The meaning was very clear: you are truly amazing.
...
"This is the place."
After Lam Pham got the specific location from Vuong Tu Hien, he rushed all the way. The distance was very far, after all, it was close to the border. When he arrived there, he didn't even need to search.
He saw the endless zombie tide.
The number of this zombie tide was extremely huge. Looking from afar, it was a pitch-black mass, giving a very strong sense of pressure.
"Are these zombie tides from the Cosmic Nation?"
He didn't have a good understanding of the Cosmic Nation. In times of peace, it was one of the few countries in the world that was still colonized. For any country, if it was still colonized, it was truly a very shameful thing.
But the other party did not consider this a shame, and even took pride in it.
At the same time, the Cosmic Nation was also encroaching on the culture of various other countries, even saying that the sun was theirs.
Lam Pham observed from afar.
He found that the situation seemed a bit wrong.
The zombies at the forefront of the zombie tide shocked him greatly. Those zombies were tall and looked like unbloomed flower buds, with many flesh and blood tentacles growing out of them. These tentacles were very flexible and kept waving.
Lam Pham discovered that these flower bud-like zombies were constantly using their tentacles to roll up the local zombies and then throw them into their bodies, like a furnace, constantly devouring the local zombies.
And the captured local zombies had no ability to resist at all.
"Huh, strange. Why are the local zombies fighting with the zombies that crossed the border?"
In Lam Pham's understanding, conflicts between zombies usually only occurred among high-stage zombies, for the sake of the other's crystals. And ordinary zombies had a sense of hierarchy towards high-stage zombies and would absolutely not dare to be presumptuous.
But now Lam Pham saw that it was ordinary zombies constantly charging at the Cosmic Nation zombies.
There was no stage suppression at all.
"Could it be that the zombies here are also being manipulated by someone, and are resisting the Cosmic Nation zombies?"
Lam Pham analyzed.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
Otherwise, it really didn't make sense.
"Let them fight it out. It saves me the trouble of cleaning up," Lam Pham thought of a good idea. Just let the zombies from both sides fight. Those huge flower bud-like zombies were really like a cleaning station, constantly using their tentacles to roll up the zombies and throw them in, without leaving even a bit of dregs.
Gradually.
More and more zombies attacked. Most of them were ordinary zombies. And the damage these ordinary zombies caused to the flower bud-like zombies was basically negligible, or even none at all.
Soon.
Observing the situation on the scene, Lam Pham's brow furrowed. His previous thoughts quietly changed.
He felt he shouldn't just be observing like this.
"Those zombies are foreign. Our local zombies were once our compatriots. Even if they have become zombies, it's still our own business."
"No matter what happens, it's our own business. Outside forces wanting to step in is absolutely not allowed."
Thinking of this.
Lam Pham slowly drew Frostmourne, stomped on the ground with a bang, and turned into a stream of light, rushing into the distance.
What he wanted to do was to eliminate all these Cosmic Nation zombies.
And if they wanted to eliminate the local zombies, then only they themselves could do it. Others didn't have the qualification.
In the Cosmic Nation zombie tide.
There was a very familiar figure.
It was Gang Ben Ling Yi. Since being chopped up like that, he had left this place and gone to the Cosmic Nation. Who would have thought that the zombies of the Cosmic Nation would evolve so domineeringly?
This gave him hope.
Through his efforts (deception), he finally moved the strongest Creator there, thus leading the zombie tide across the border and towards Hoang City.
He wanted revenge.
He wanted to see Lam Pham's tearful, desperate appearance.
He just wanted to ask, can I see this scene?
The answer was naturally yes.
