(2) Something that can make him feel very strong must be extremely difficult to deal with (2)

"Roar..."

From a very distant location, a roar that seemed to reverberate throughout Hoang City erupted.

Although the distance was vast, and Duong Quang Residential Area might not necessarily hear it, Lam Pham truly heard this extremely unusual roar.

"You guys go back first," Lam Pham said.

Luu Lang Yen and his sister politely left.

Lam Pham looked towards the distant horizon enveloped by dusk. There must be some kind of terrifying creature there. From the roar alone, he could tell its sound was different from other zombies.

"Brother Hang, I'm going out for a bit."

"Alright." Co Hang, surrounded by the children, didn't know where Lam Pham was going but still nodded.

He quickened his pace, heading towards the distant horizon.

"Although I haven't completely cleared the zombies in Hoang City yet."

"But something this formidable absolutely cannot be allowed to appear."

Regardless of whether it was a strength-type, speed-type, or a Bao Quan (Tyrant), those were all zombies within his expectations. But if other terrifying types appeared, something that surpassed these to an extreme, he couldn't let them exist.

He headed towards the dusk.

Searching for the source of that sound.

Under the dusk, a figure emerged between tall buildings, as if the Guardian of this city was in action.

A moment later.

He was shocked by the scene before him.

Many zombies, countless in number.

Among them were various types of evolved zombies.

One zombie's appearance caught his attention. It seemed familiar, yet slightly different: slender limbs, a bald head, and a pale body like a mature stage hybrid-type zombie.

However, this zombie before him had bone spurs growing on its back. Within a few meters around it as the center, not a single zombie dared to approach. Even Bao Quan (Tyrants) squatted there, like absolutely loyal guards.

"A new evolved type has appeared among the zombies, very likely an evolution of the hybrid-type zombie."

His zombie-clearing range used Duong Quang Residential Area as the center, constantly pushing outwards. There were places he hadn't reached, thus allowing some zombies to evolve, which was very normal.

Instantly.

The mysterious zombie standing there roared angrily, its voice like a shriek. The glass of nearby buildings shattered in an instant.

"This sound isn't right..."

Lam Pham seemed to feel this sound wave spreading out like a tide, wave after wave, and it could even reflect back. Sure enough, as the sound spread.

The mysterious zombie suddenly raised its head, staring intently at Lam Pham, who was squatting on the rooftop of a tall building, and let out an angry sound.

"This is like a bat's ultrasonic wave? But it also carries a destructive sound wave."

The surrounding zombies rioted, rushing towards the building where Lam Pham was.

Lam Pham observed with a calm expression.

"Truly a terrifying zombie. Hoang City absolutely cannot allow such a zombie to exist. For any survivor hideout, it's a disaster."

After speaking.

He jumped down, ignoring the zombies below, and landed in front of the mysterious zombie.

"What does 1+1 equal?"

A simple question.

What he got in return was the mysterious zombie's roar. Then, the surrounding rubble vibrated, floated up, as if enveloped by some energy, and whizzed through the air like bullets.

"Mental power?"

He didn't dodge, enduring the impact of the stones. His clothes were torn with numerous holes; his clothes were torn in fifteen places. It wasn't that he didn't cherish his clothes, but he wanted to see how powerful it was.

Well... no feeling at all.

A real miscalculation.

Couldn't feel it, wasted a set of clothes.

"Hey, evolving to your level, you should have some rationality. You damaged my clothes."

Lam Pham was very distressed. He wasn't rich to begin with; why add frost to snow?

However, he could be sure of one thing: the evolutionary level of this zombie before him was absolutely extremely high.

The mysterious zombie roared, raised its slender arm, and swung it fiercely towards him. The arm instantly changed shape, forming a flesh scythe. Swish, the blade glinted, and it was directly severed.

Fresh blood splattered, and the mysterious zombie let out a scream.

"Like a Bao Quan's (Tyrant's) flesh scythe, but with greater speed and strength than a Bao Quan."

Analysis.

What shocked Lam Pham even more was the injured area of the mysterious zombie. Flesh and blood shifted, and an arm actually regrew.

"Possesses regenerative abilities?"

He believed this was definitely another evolutionary stage of the hybrid-type zombie. But which type of zombie possessed regenerative abilities?

Behind him.

Hordes of zombies roared, rushing towards him, numerous in quantity, like the mysterious zombie's personal guards. Any intruder approaching would face their ferocious attacks.

Lam Pham was very interested in the mysterious zombie before him.

He had no interest in these rushing ordinary zombies or evolved zombies.

He swung his sword.

One slash, and the sword light howled. An arc-shaped sword light swept over. Swish... zombie bodies were torn apart, continuously spreading. With just one sword strike, he had slaughtered countless zombies.

He saw the mysterious zombie take a step back.

"Timid, it has timid thoughts. It definitely possesses rationality."

He knew that zombies were not afraid of danger, only knowing how to bite other species. Now that a zombie had evolved to a certain extent and actually knew timidity, it meant that the evolutionary path of zombies, as they became more advanced, would form rationality, thereby gaining intelligence. This was also the formation of a new species.

Just as he was thinking, the mysterious zombie moved, stirring up dust. With extremely astonishing speed, it instantly appeared in the distance, its speed many times faster than a speed-type zombie.

"Truly a terrifying species, even more horrifying than the mature stage hybrid-type zombie encountered before."

With continuous contact.

He felt its terror more and more.

Humans had Awakened ones, but the Awakened ones he had encountered were all very weak. If they really encountered this type of zombie, how would they deal with it?

Battle armor?

Similarly, there was no way to fight against this type of zombie.

If it were battle armor confronting it, it would probably require wave after wave of sacrifices, piling up lives, to even have a chance of victory.

The mysterious zombie roared, attracting surrounding zombies.

Groan... groan!

This area, under the dusk, had become a zombie paradise. Countless zombies rushed from all directions, forming a magnificent scene.

Lam Pham stood with his sword.

Looking at the surrounding situation.

"I have no interest in you right now."

He gripped Frostmourne, slowly exhaled. The runes on the sword body flickered. With one swing of his sword, an overwhelming slaughter, a sword light that shouldn't exist in the real world swept across.

Swish!

Swish!

Regardless of whether they were ordinary zombies or evolved zombies, they all met a miserable fate of being slaughtered.

He looked at the mysterious zombie in the distance. When its eyes met Lam Pham's, the mysterious zombie moved quickly, wanting to leave. But Lam Pham stomped his foot, his speed even faster. No matter where the mysterious zombie appeared, he could always appear in front of it.

For the mysterious zombie, this was truly an unimaginable situation.

Clack!

Lam Pham spread his five fingers, grabbed the mysterious zombie's face, leaped up, and landed on the rooftop of a large building.

The mysterious zombie roared, its scythe-like arms swinging continuously. Apart from tearing his clothes, it couldn't cause any harm to his body.

Lam Pham severed the mysterious zombie's four limbs with one sword strike.

Observing.

Flesh and blood shifted.

The limbs regrew.

"Astonishing recovery ability, a BUG-like ability that shouldn't exist."

He could imagine Hung Uong and his group risking everything, severing the mysterious zombie's limbs, thinking victory was in their grasp, only for it to recover in an instant. Anyone would find this unacceptable.

Severed again.

Regrowth.

Severed.

Regrowth.

It continued endlessly.

He frowned. The mysterious zombie before him could indeed regenerate repeatedly. But what was it consuming during regeneration?

The energy within the crystal?

As he was deep in thought.

The mysterious zombie seemed to be flustered. How could it encounter such a perverted human?

Finally, he tried, severing the mysterious zombie's head with one sword strike.

But when it touched the neck, he found that the pale neck, upon sensing a threat, gradually turned black, as if condensing into a hard substance, wanting to resist.

"If even the head can regenerate, then..."

[Killed Mature Stage Hybrid-type Zombie] [Points +40]

He cut off the head, and a golden crystal rolled out.

"Just as I thought, it's an evolved form of the larval stage hybrid-type zombie."

This was the first golden crystal zombie he had killed so far.

He swung Frostmourne, one slash shattered it, and the energy was absorbed. The first good stuff definitely had to go to Frostmourne. He could feel the sword strengthening.

Returning to the previous scene, he collected crystals. Among them were many evolved zombies.

A bountiful harvest.

Any shelter faction seeing this would be silent. Has hunting evolved zombies become so easy?

He left, his whole body stained with blood. The last ray of dusk dissipated, and the city plunged into darkness. On the unlit streets, a figure reeking of blood moved about.

He had killed enough.

But he always felt it wasn't enough...

Returning home to Duong Quang Residential Area.

He took off his clothes, reluctantly threw them into the trash, showered, scrubbed, his mind still on the zombie from just now. A very strong zombie, surpassing his imagination of ordinary zombies.

Several hundred cities in the country; if one appeared in every city.

That would be several hundred.

Just thinking about it felt terrifying.

He squeezed out shower gel and lathered the important parts of his body, rubbing and scrubbing.

Early morning.

Lam Pham called Hung Uong on the satellite phone.

"Are you guys doing okay?"

"Smoothly, everything has been very smooth."

"Let me tell you something. If one day you encounter a zombie with slender limbs, a bald head, and a pale body, don't approach it, don't fight it. That's not a species you can deal with."

Lam Pham reminded him. He dared to guarantee that if Hung Uong and his group engaged that type of zombie, it would be a total wipeout. He believed Hung Uong's group was very formidable, extremely brave.

But this wasn't something bravery could deal with.

Hung Uong on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, we understand."

"Mm, then I'll hang up."

"Okay."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

He hung up the phone.

Lam Pham got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. Having given the warning was good enough. He hoped they would never encounter that type of zombie in their lifetime.

...

On a desolate road.

Inside the speeding armored vehicle.

"What did he say?" Diep Hong asked.

Hung Uong said, "He told us if we encounter a certain type of zombie, don't deal with it, don't approach it, avoid it if possible."

Diep Hong thought, "A zombie that even he finds difficult to deal with must be truly very strong. We initially delivered the battle armor, didn't expect to get so much new information. The area we're in is still too remote; it's very difficult for us to get the latest real-time information."

Hung Uong said, "Everything needs to be taken step by step. The Desert Base and Milky Way Base have sent people to get battle armor. When we have enough soldiers and battle armor, we can launch a counterattack."

"M-country has already nuked a city flat."

"Who did you hear that from?"

"The monitoring department detected a massive energy reaction."

"The living gave up?"

"It's already flattened, you think they still want it?"

"That's true too. Freedom, right? To nuke or not to nuke is also their free action, haha..."

At this moment.

The driver said, "Brother Uong, there's a situation ahead."

"What kind of situation?"

"There's someone, a woman, waving her hand."

The armored vehicle slowly stopped.

The door opened.

Hung Uong, wearing battle armor, got out and walked towards the woman. The woman blocking the road, seeing Hung Uong in the Thuong Long battle armor, looked a bit dazed, clearly not expecting to see such a thing.

"What's your situation?" Hung Uong looked at the woman and asked.

The woman stammered, "Could you... could you take me home? My home is just over there. My own car is out of gas."

Hung Uong looked at the flustered woman and said, "You should know the current situation. Even if you have a home, your family might not necessarily still be alive."

"I just want to go home, I beg you, please take me back," the woman said pitifully.

Hung Uong observed the other party. The face hidden under the mask, no one could see.

"Follow me."

In the vehicle.

The woman looked at Diep Hong, then at the other fully armed individuals. Her palms were sweating, very reserved. Diep Hong looked at the woman strangely. It wasn't that she had any prejudice against women, but this situation was very odd.

"What's your name?" Diep Hong asked.

"Tieu Yen, everyone calls me Yen Tu."

"Yen Tu, why are you alone?"

"I wanted to go home and reunite with my family, but my car ran out of gas."

Diep Hong smiled and said, "Where did you come from?"

Seemingly casual chat, but it was all about asking various things. The very nervous Yen Tu had already made them suspicious.

Not long after.

They reached the destination.

"Thank you, I'll go back first," Yen Tu said.

"Wait a moment, I'll escort you to your home, just in case," Hung Uong said.

Yen Tu waved her hand, "It's okay, I can go back by myself."

Hung Uong smiled, "No need to be polite. I'm a person who enjoys helping others the most. As they say, good deeds should be done thoroughly, escort the Buddha all the way to the west. No need to be polite."

Without waiting for Yen Tu to refuse, he directly got out of the vehicle.

Yen Tu looked at Hung Uong wearing the battle armor, had many things she wanted to say, but in the end, could only obediently walk ahead.

Hung Uong saw the house in front.

It was a self-built house.

At the gate.

"Thank you, I can just go in by myself," Yen Tu said.

"It's okay, open the door," Hung Uong said.

Finally, Yen Tu opened the small courtyard's iron gate and walked inside, with Hung Uong following behind, closing the iron gate.

At this moment.

A burst of wanton laughter came.

"Let me see what kind of person Yen Tu has brought back this time."

Immediately after.

Four burly men holding various weapons walked out. When they first saw Hung Uong, everyone showed a shocked expression.

"Holy crap... Yen Tu, what did you bring back?"

Hung Uong looked at the four burly men before him, then looked at Yen Tu.

"So this is your scheme, huh? Tricking innocent survivors here, intending to harm them?"

Hung Uong, his sense of justice overflowing, had suspected something was wrong when this happened. Even though Yen Tu, seeing his appearance, dared not have any ideas, he still wanted to follow.

They might be fine, but other survivors, if they encountered such a situation, might not be so lucky.

"Damn it!"

One of the burly men hurriedly ran into the house and immediately came out with a shotgun, aiming it at Hung Uong in his battle armor.

"You motherf*cker, playing mysterious. Watch Old Me kill you!"

Boom!

The shotgun blast hit the battle armor. The black battle armor was still black; there wasn't even a scratch.

"Damn, this is f*cking impossible."

The burly man's eyes widened.

No different from seeing a ghost.

Hung Uong pondered, thinking about various things. If it were peacetime, what would he do? And under the current special circumstances, what should be done?

Finally.

Hung Uong drew his straight saber.

Fortunately, he hadn't let Diep Hong follow.

A woman's heart is always a bit soft.
