Chung Han Quoc and Diep Thien watched the scene before them in shock.
Barehandedly catching a flesh scythe that could easily shatter a shield – was this something a human could do?
At the same time, hearing about the fleeing Tran Thang.
Anger rose in both their hearts. With cooperation, there was a chance to defeat the zombie, yet he fled midway. The one who wanted to fight was you, the one who ran was also you. Clearly, he just wanted them to be cannon fodder, to provide him an opportunity to escape.
"Roar!"
The Bao Quan roared angrily, extremely uncomfortable with its flesh scythe being gripped by a human. If the Bao Quan species had an inherited intelligence, countless Bao Quan would surely be wailing in despair, "Descendants, run quickly! This person before you is extremely ferocious! He will smash your head!"
Unfortunately... Bao Quans were all solitary individuals, without inherited intelligence.
The Bao Quan swung its other arm, viciously smashing towards Lam Pham.
Clack!
Lam Pham caught that Bao Quan arm as well, suddenly lifted his leg, and kicked out. With a thump, the Bao Quan's body instantly exploded, only its two arms still held in his hands.
"It's alright, the Bao Quan has been eliminated by me," Lam Pham said.
Chung Han Quoc and Diep Thien stared.
The zombie that had nearly wiped them out was so easily hunted down. It truly impacted their hearts, causing monstrous waves to rise within them, unable to calm down for a long time.
How could he be so terrifying?
They were also Awakened ones, yet when facing such a zombie, it was extremely difficult, extremely desperate.
Perhaps this was the difference between people.
Lam Pham thought highly of these two Awakened ones; only that Tran Thang made him not very satisfied.
"How are you?"
Lam Pham caringly asked about Chung Han Quoc's condition. His situation didn't look very good; he had wounds on his body and was bleeding.
Chung Han Quoc endured the pain on his body, "I'm fine, just some superficial wounds."
"How did you get entangled with a Bao Quan? A Bao Quan is a powerful type of zombie after the evolved zombies, very formidable," Lam Pham asked curiously.
Chung Han Quoc recounted their recent encounter in detail. Hearing about their experience, Lam Pham indeed hadn't misjudged; that Tran Thang was truly unreliable.
To be able to team up in the apocalypse was a very difficult thing. Such friendship and relationships needed to be well maintained. Thinking of these two before him, when he had invited them earlier, he could clearly see a thoughtful expression in their eyes.
Evidently, they wanted to come to the shelter.
Because Tran Thang refused, they felt it wasn't right to abandon Tran Thang like that, so they refused Lam Pham's invitation.
It was just a pity they had misjudged the person.
Lam Pham could understand; not everyone could see through a person like he could. In one's life, even in peaceful times, it was full of deception. Whether someone was a human or a ghost, no one could say for sure.
"So that's how it is. Luckily, I had something to find you for, otherwise the consequences would have been dire," Lam Pham sighed.
Or perhaps, heaven was protecting them, not wanting to see them die here.
Diep Thien said: "Big Brother Lam, were you looking for us for something?"
Diep Thien, having experienced various encounters, should have become colder, more unwilling to converse with others. But as the saying goes, to pry open a cold woman's heart, one needs a strong and decisive impact, to make her cold heart burn again.
In this aspect, Lam Pham had truly succeeded.
"I've compiled a zombie picture atlas. You are all Awakened ones and need to hunt zombies. I specially copied a version to give to you, hoping to help you recognize zombies, to avoid encountering formidable zombies without knowing." Lam Pham took out the printed picture atlas from his bosom.
Diep Thien stared blankly at Lam Pham.
Evidently, she hadn't expected that a stranger she had just met could think of these things, and even deliberately deliver the picture atlas to them, precisely to help them.
Diep Thien accepted the picture atlas and glanced through it.
She saw the page related to the Bao Quan.
Looking at the detailed introduction above.
"Did you compile all of this?" Diep Thien asked.
Lam Pham said: "Yes, I compiled it, but the one who motivated me to compile it was Co Hang. He is a soldier in our shelter, very intelligent."
Diep Thien continued to glance through it; various types of zombies were recorded.
There were even clear photos.
Looking at the camera hanging around Lam Pham's neck, she instantly understood; these were all photographed by him.
What kind of person must one be to be able to do such a thing?
At this moment.
Lam Pham extended his hand, smiling, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Lam Pham. Although you just experienced betrayal, I ask that you two can trust in humanity once more. I sincerely invite you both to join the Duong Quang residential area shelter, so we can unite to fight against the apocalypse together."
Facing Lam Pham's invitation.
Diep Thien and Chung Han Quoc looked at each other.
Finally.
"Okay."
They agreed to join.
Diep Thien and Chung Han Quoc felt Lam Pham exuded a special kind of aura.
This aura was very difficult to describe in words.
To put it bluntly, it just gave people a sense of security.
Lam Pham smiled happily. Being able to bring back two hopeful Awakened ones to the shelter, he believed the future would definitely be beautiful. Sometimes, hope often starts from here.
Chung Han Quoc was not in mortal danger, but having been impacted by the Bao Quan's strength, his own condition was definitely not good.
Therefore, Diep Thien drove.
The three of them set off towards the Duong Quang residential area.
In the car.
"You're saying the way for Awakened ones to strengthen themselves is to swallow crystals?" Lam Pham was very surprised when he learned this news, and at the same time, it was also a good thing.
"Yes, that's right. That's why we look for zombies with crystals."
Diep Thien told Lam Pham the situation she knew.
The other party had invited them to the shelter.
She naturally held nothing back.
Lam Pham slowly said: "In the future, you don't need to work so hard. I will solve the crystal issue for you. In Duong Quang residential area, there are two Awakened ones. One can see zombie designations and crystal colors, the other can predict events two seconds ahead centered on herself."
"In the past, I also didn't know how Awakened ones should become stronger. Now I know, so many things will be very easy to solve."
This was his thought.
Diep Thien said: "How can that be? You also need crystals to become stronger."
Lam Pham said: "It's alright, crystals are useless to me. If crystals can enhance awakened abilities, then in my eyes, that's truly too convenient."
He was actually telling the truth.
If he had known earlier that crystals could be directly swallowed by Awakened ones.
He would have stockpiled a batch of crystals long ago.
To make the Awakened ones in the shelter even stronger.
Individual strength is weak; only collective strength can lead to an excellent future.
Very quickly.
Duong Quang residential area arrived.
Diep Thien, driving, looked at the shining iron railings, thinking to herself, from now on, she would become a member here. Moreover, she could see that this shelter before her was by no means ordinary.
Its scale was extremely massive.
After parking the car.
Lam Pham opened the door and got out.
"Welcome to Duong Quang residential area shelter."
