(2) I See You're Up To Something Big (2)

"To what extent, you ask?" Lam Pham thought, "Hard to say, it should be considered quite formidable, I guess."

He thought about the scenes of battling zombies; it was hard to demonstrate just how strong he was. Many zombies he encountered were killed by him with a single sword strike. It was very simple, either cleaving the zombie in two or severing its head.

"Then can you fly?"

"Haha, how could you have such an idea? How can humans fly? That's unscientific."

Lam Pham didn't expect this highly accomplished young man before him to ask something even a child would know is impossible.

"That's true, humans indeed can't fly. After all, everything must have a scientific basis."

"Right, although I can't fly, I can jump. Jump relatively high, and far."

"Jump?"

"Yes, just like this."

Under everyone's gaze, Lam Pham took a deep breath, swung his arms as if for a long jump, and with a thump, a strong gust of wind swept past. The figure that had just been standing before everyone vanished without a trace in an instant.

In a flash.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Where did he go?

They hadn't even seen clearly what had happened.

Just a whoosh, accompanied by a gust of wind, and he vanished without a trace.

"Hey, I'm over here."

A shout came from afar.

Everyone looked in that direction and faintly saw a figure standing on the rooftop of a tall building, waving at them.

Co Hang and Nhan Ny Ny were very calm.

They had long progressed from the shock phase to taking it for granted. Only these newcomers, whose thinking was still stuck on the idea that humans couldn't possibly be that strong.

"Newton's coffin lid would crack."

This was everyone's thought.

Lam Pham then leaped back from afar, landing steadily, a smile on his face as he looked at them.

"I can only do these things."

He said it very calmly.

"Bi... Big Brother, how did you do that?"

Clearly older than Lam Pham, yet his form of address for Lam Pham had undergone an earth-shattering change.

Lam Pham said: "It's very simple. Just stand in place, feet together, swing your arms, one, two, three... Jump, and that's it."

Co Hang: ...?

Nhan Ny Ny: ...?

The two of them looked at Lam Pham in astonishment.

Are you treating this group of highly accomplished experts like kindergarten children you're coaxing?

Indeed.

As he said these words.

These expert members all stared blankly at Lam Pham, the porridge and bread in their hands no longer fragrant.

Lam Pham smiled and said: "Don't mind it, I'm a bit special. Hurry up and eat before the porridge gets cold."

Although Professor Hoang was equally shocked, he had learned a little from Old Man Ha and Hung Ung, so naturally, he wouldn't be like them.

Of course, this was a good thing.

Their hopes for the future were built on scientific research, hoping to find a way to combat the zombies. Lam Pham's display of inhuman strength was like a powerful heart stimulant, deeply embedded in their hearts.

It could make them feel more at ease.

After witnessing Lam Pham's situation.

Instead, the eyes with which they looked at Lam Pham were now glowing.

This was a kind of worshipful light...

Prison.

"Brother Ha, hang in there, don't give up easily."

Phung Kiet clapped to cheer on Ha Minh Hien, who was flipping a tire. His body was all fat; if he wanted results in a short time, he could only train desperately.

Of course, the consequence of this was that his arms would be very sore.

Ha Minh Hien was drenched in sweat, gritting his teeth, flipping the tire over and over. Even though he was panting heavily, he consistently persevered.

"I know."

Ha Minh Hien's face was flushed red, sweat pouring down like rain. It was clearly very tiring training, but a force in his heart kept supporting him.

At this moment.

Ton Nang, wearing pajamas, holding a glass of red wine, leaned his arm against the railing, watching Ha Minh Hien train with great interest.

"A man who refuses to admit defeat is always so adorable."

He commented with a faint smile.

The prison's development was within his expectations; everything was progressing in a good direction. He naturally knew that Ha Minh Hien and Mieu Dich were quite close, and Mieu Dich's older sister, Mieu Yen, had a very good relationship with Ha Minh Hien.

However, he knew that this "very good relationship" was merely a friendship. One shouldn't be too petty as a person.

Sometimes, thinking of Tran Chi Dung, he also just wanted to say, truly a scoundrel.

Ton Nang watched quietly, just like a woman who often enjoys watching the person she likes work or move. He was the same. Under the sunlight, the chubby body, enveloped in sweat, made his heart tingle.

It was just that Ha Minh Hien was really too stupid, not clever at all.

Thinking about how Ha Minh Hien lived during peaceful times, he could understand. If he were smart, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

"Brother Ha, take a break." Phung Kiet handed over a towel.

Ha Minh Hien took the towel and wiped his sweat. He was truly exhausted, his arms felt like they were falling apart.

"Ahem." Ton Nang coughed, his voice attracting the attention of Ha Minh Hien and Phung Kiet.

When Ha Minh Hien saw Ton Nang, he felt very dissatisfied. During training, he felt like a person with dignity, but upon seeing Ton Nang, he felt his dignity had long been trampled underfoot, ruthlessly stomped upon.

"This won't do, you know. It feels like your training like this is no different from not training at all. Ai, not only stupid but also a bit lazy," Ton Nang said leisurely.

Ha Minh Hien clenched his fists, truly furious, gritted his teeth, and without thinking, threw himself back into the training of flipping the tire. He now hated Ton Nang the most; that mouth was so venomous. He thought of how he himself used to be quite venomous on the internet.

But compared to him, he was still too weak.

Watching Ha Minh Hien throw himself back into training, Ton Nang smiled. For some reason, he just liked seeing Ha Minh Hien very angry yet having to pretend to be strong and oppose him.

Phung Kiet thought to himself that training so forcefully would be detrimental to the body.

When he turned to look at Ton Nang, he found no one there. Searching carefully, he discovered Ton Nang walking towards the distance.

"Brother Ha, stop training for now, rest a bit, or your body will suffer," Phung Kiet said.

Ha Minh Hien gritted his teeth and said: "No, I can't let that dog thief humiliate me."

"He's not here, seems like he had something to do."

Hearing this.

Ha Minh Hien quickly turned his head, "You should have said so earlier, I'm exhausted to death."

Phung Kiet: ...

At this moment, Ton Nang arrived at the prison watchtower. Any prison's location was in a remote area, the advantage being that not so many zombies would appear.

And since people from their prison frequently went out to search for supplies, even if there were zombies around, they would have been lured away long ago.

But now, zombies were gradually appearing around again.

This, to Ton Nang, signaled some not-so-good news.

"When did they appear?" Ton Nang asked.

"Just now, I saw one zombie appear, and then others appeared one after another," the patrolling survivor said.

Ton Nang pondered, "Continue to observe for me. Notify me immediately of any movements."

"Yes." ...

On the road.

Lam Pham continued to hunt zombies, the range gradually expanding. For Hoang City, this represented a gradual decrease in the number of zombies.

"Hopefully, with my efforts, it's getting closer and closer."

His mood was very good.

The Duong Quang residential area shelter was developing in an increasingly better direction.

"I wonder what Officer Hoang is doing?"

Thinking of Officer Hoang.

Thinking that the area he had cleared was already very large, the distance from Officer Hoang's station to the area of zombie activity seemed a bit far.

He hadn't thought of it before.

Thinking about it now, this situation might really exist.

For Officer Hoang to leave his station, he might have to walk a very long way before encountering zombies.

"Ughh, ughh."

Turning a corner, he appeared on a new street. Zombies were limping and wandering. Looking at the surrounding environment, one could tell no one had passed through here. A glance showed that all the way to the end of the street, zombies seemed to have taken root here.

"Hey."

Lam Pham called out. In the past, he would have said a few more words; now, it was just a gradual "Hey" that provoked the zombies, and he naturally entered self-defense mode.

What else was there to say? Of course, it was just drawing the sword and slashing...

Elsewhere.

It was just as Lam Pham had said. Officer Hoang walked a very long way from his post and finally encountered zombies. Facing the wandering zombies, Officer Hoang merely moved his eyes, staring fixedly.

"Ughh."

Officer Hoang growled lowly at the zombies. The zombies surrounding Officer Hoang seemed to have seen something terrifying, lowered their heads, turned their bodies, not daring to face Officer Hoang.

It was as if Officer Hoang was saying: What do you want?

Normal zombie: I'm just passing by.

Suddenly.

Officer Hoang raised his head, sniffed the air, changed direction, and walked on. Not long after, a Strength-type zombie appeared ahead, standing among a horde of zombies.

Officer Hoang growled lowly.

The Strength-type zombie was still pounding on an abandoned vehicle by the roadside. Hearing the growl, it turned to look at Officer Hoang, emitting a dull "Ughh, ughh" sound.

Perhaps only zombies could understand zombie communication; other people couldn't.

If Lam Pham were present, he might translate the sounds of Officer Hoang and the Strength-type zombie as:

Officer Hoang: Why are you damaging other people's vehicles?

Strength-type zombie: None of your business.

Officer Hoang roared in anger, not moving slowly, but speeding up and rushing towards the Strength-type zombie. Faced with Officer Hoang's situation, the Strength-type zombie also swung its fists, emitting a dull sound.

As they neared.

Officer Hoang dodged the Strength-type zombie's incoming fist, raised his arm, and his five fingers instantly condensed into flesh spikes. With a pfft, he directly pierced through the Strength-type zombie's head.

In the past, it was very difficult for Officer Hoang to deal with evolved zombies.

But since that evolution.

It had become so simple.

Boom!

The Strength-type zombie fell heavily to the ground, crashing down. It probably never imagined it would be pierced through the head in a single strike.

Officer Hoang tore open the zombie's head, found the white crystal, and gnawed on it.

Self-reliant, maintaining the peace of Hoang City, made Officer Hoang seem somewhat excited. He let out roars at the surrounding zombies, as if saying, if you don't behave, this will be your end.

Perhaps this group of zombies really understood.

Not a single zombie faced Officer Hoang; they all turned their backs, standing in place, swaying unsteadily.

Officer Hoang walked through the zombie horde, occasionally raising his head to look at the buildings on both sides, as if trying to see if any other survivors existed.

At this moment.

Ahead on the path Officer Hoang was taking.

Inside a nearby building.

Three survivors were observing the situation on the street, especially when they saw that zombie with an extremely robust physique, they all felt a sense of powerlessness.

These three survivors were two men and one woman.

Among them was a chubby man in his thirties, who shook his head and said: "This is a Bao Quan; what appears in its head is black."

"Black?" Another young man showed a look of surprise.

Even the only girl couldn't help but look grave.

The chubby man who could see the zombie's situation was called Chuc Thanh.

They were all survivors who had slowly gathered together after the apocalypse broke out. The chubby man's ability, which suddenly appeared after that thunderstorm some time ago, was the ability to see the level of zombies.

According to the chubby man, normal zombies had no color, strange-looking zombies were white, and black was the highest color they had seen so far.

"Dong Giai, are we going to die?" The young man who spoke was called Ma Nham.

Dong Giai shook her head and said: "In the next two seconds, I am still alive."

She was also an Awakened one, able to foresee events two seconds into the future. However, she could only see what was about to happen within a one-meter radius centered on herself.

For her, such an ability appeared after the apocalypse broke out. How it appeared, she also didn't know. It was just that such an ability was useful to her, but its use was mainly to avoid some minor disasters in advance.

Ultimately, it was still somewhat of a "chicken rib" ability.

She herself was still a weakling with no strength to truss a chicken.

Of course, her ability was much better than the chubby Chuc Thanh's. The chubby man's ability was truly a chicken rib; apart from seeing what a zombie was called and what color its head was, it had no other use.

"We can't stay here, we have to leave this place," Ma Nham said.

Dong Giai said: "But how do we go? That thing is waiting for us downstairs."

However, at this moment.

"Shh, don't talk, another zombie is here," the chubby Chuc Thanh whispered.

Ma Nham and Dong Giai shrank back, looking into the distance.

"It's just a normal zombie."

"Don't be so scary, okay? A normal zombie isn't as formidable as this Bao Quan."

The chubby Chuc Thanh's eyes widened, and he whispered: "That's not right, that's not a normal zombie. I see its head is also black, just not as black as the Bao Quan's."

Hearing the chubby man's words.

Their mouths gaped open, faces filled with despair. There was already a terrifying zombie; why was there another one? If they both stayed here, they would definitely be trapped to death.

The chubby Chuc Thanh rubbed his eyes, as if he had misseen, and muttered to himself, "Hoang Quan? Officer Hoang?"

"What is it?"

"No, that zombie's designation is problematic. That zombie is different from other zombies. I'm talking about that zombie's designation."

Among the zombies he had seen, he had never encountered one so strange.

Among the zombies he had seen, there were Strength-type zombies, Speed-type zombies, Self-destruct-type zombies... He had really never encountered such a designation.

"Ughh, ughh..."

Officer Hoang saw the distant Bao Quan and roared angrily.

Those hiding in the building shivered, not daring to make any sound. Zombies were terrifying. Normal zombies were already very terrifying; whether it was speed or explosive power, they were like demons.

Who would have thought that there would be something even more terrifying than normal zombies.

How were ordinary survivors supposed to live?

Although they might not be considered ordinary survivors, one had to look at what kind of abilities these were; they didn't even have a reliable ability for self-defense.

Immediately after.

Something that shocked them happened.

They had thought that Officer Hoang, who looked like a normal zombie, would actually directly fight the Bao Quan.

Even the Bao Quan didn't expect that a fellow of its kind would dare to attack it.

Its ferocious expression became even more terrifying.

Officer Hoang, facing the scythe swung by the Bao Quan, was not flustered at all. The combat skills he had once learned erupted. He didn't choose to clash head-on with the Bao Quan. His transformable arm turned into sharp claws and flesh spikes, continuously leaving wounds on the Bao Quan's body.

The three survivors observing from the dark.

Their eyes widened.

"That Officer Hoang is so formidable."

"What's the deal with this zombie? Why is it fighting the Bao Quan?"

"Do you guys think, is it because this zombie is an officer, so it always wants to fight other zombies?"

As they were discussing.

Thump!

The Bao Quan, its entire body dripping with viscous blood, grabbed Officer Hoang's head and slammed it hard onto the ground. With a thump, the dull sound was truly frightening.

Chuc Thanh said in horror: "See? This Bao Quan is really terrifying. I think this Officer Hoang zombie is definitely not its match."

The scene before them caused them immense shock.

"Ughh, ughh."

The Bao Quan roared angrily, as if showing off to Officer Hoang who was lying on the ground, as if saying, see? This is the fate of provoking a Bao Quan.

The Bao Quan raised its scythe-hand high, preparing to cleave Officer Hoang in two.

Pfft!

The scythe came down fiercely but was directly dodged by Officer Hoang rolling away. Only to see Officer Hoang's arm, now a flesh spike, stab into the Bao Quan's abdomen, but it was then suppressed by muscle, unable to penetrate deeper.

Such a move thoroughly enraged the Bao Quan.

"Ughh, ughh."

The Bao Quan roared, its scythe-hand swung and severed Officer Hoang's arm. It threw a punch, instantly sending Officer Hoang flying.

Officer Hoang, sent flying far away, tumbled on the ground.

Like a football.

Officer Hoang growled lowly. Even though his own condition was terrible, he still wanted to fight the Bao Quan to the death.

However...

Footsteps.

Officer Hoang slightly raised his head and saw a familiar face full of surprise.

That's right.

It was Lam Pham. Following Officer Hoang's patrol route, he had casually dealt with normal zombies along the way until he encountered the tumbling Officer Hoang.

Lam Pham looked at the battered Bao Quan in the distance.

Then he lowered his head to look at Officer Hoang, who looked very miserable.

In his mind, he thought of what he had seen many times.

Enough to describe the current Officer Hoang.

Vanguard of the police station, Zombie General, only dealing with evolved zombies, and this one was even a Bao Quan.

"Sigh."

He felt that although Officer Hoang seemed to have evolved, the speed of evolution was not as fast as he had imagined.

He had nurtured so many evolved zombies.

Yet, he was still no match for a Bao Quan.

"Officer Hoang, can we be a bit more stable in the future? It's good enough that you encountered a Bao Quan. If you encountered a hybrid-type zombie, I'm afraid it would really be..."

Seeing Officer Hoang growl at him, as if dissatisfied.

Lam Pham stopped talking directly, but pointed to the Bao Quan bleeding profusely in the distance, and said:

"Bao Quan, you even dare to harm Officer Hoang. I see you're up to something big."
