(3) Huong Son Film City Shelter (3)

Dong Dong raised his head and made a sound towards Officer Hoang.

Lam Pham watched them communicate.

Although it was all "Ughh ughh."

No one could understand.

But he dared to guarantee that Officer Hoang and Dong Dong were definitely communicating.

The meaning could be roughly guessed.

Officer Hoang: Go to school. Dong Dong: I like it.

Indeed, just as he thought.

Dong Dong actually walked towards an empty seat where no one was sitting. If he hadn't guessed this, how could such a situation have occurred?

Then, Dong Dong was seen carrying his schoolbag, sitting there simply.

"Phi Phi."

"Uncle Lam, I'm here."

"Take care of your little brother."

"Uncle Lam, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of little brother."

Phi Phi raised her head. For her, were zombies very scary? Nonsense, of course they were very scary. But as the Big Sister among the children of Duong Quang residential area, if there were difficulties, Sister Phi Phi would step up; if there were no difficulties, Sister Phi Phi would still step up. This was her responsibility, naturally, she would advance bravely without retreating, without any hesitation.

Lam Pham was very reassured about Phi Phi. She was an extremely sensible child. Although not the smartest, she exuded an unyielding spirit and a care for her younger brothers and sisters.

He was extremely fond of Phi Phi.

An outstanding child should not just be judged on whether they are smart or if their grades are good.

Just as he was about to leave with Officer Hoang.

Ma Duy Vien hurriedly ran over, his face joyful, "Brother Lam, there's news! The radio finally contacted someone!"

He was very excited. During this period, he had always been waiting in that room, continuously trying to contact the outside. Apart from some intermittent, unintelligible audio frequencies at the very beginning, he hadn't heard any other sounds.

"Really?"

"Really."

After receiving confirmed news.

Lam Pham shouted towards Co Hang in the distance, "Brother Hang, come here."

Co Hang, who was patrolling on the rooftop with others, heard Lam Pham's shout, casually exchanged a few words with the person beside him, then hurried over. For Lam Pham to call him so loudly, it definitely had to be something important.

In the room.

Lam Pham and Co Hang looked expectantly at the radio equipment in front of them as Ma Duy Vien tuned it.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

After saying these words.

They waited expectantly, not knowing what the situation was.

"Hello, who are you?"

A lazy voice came from the other side, as if they had just been drowsily sleeping, heard a sound, and woke up to reply.

Lam Pham and Co Hang looked at each other.

A look of joy flashed in both their eyes.

Ma Duy Vien said: "How to reply?"

Lam Pham signaled that he would speak.

"Hello, my name is Lam Pham. We are the Duong Quang residential area shelter in Hoang City. May I ask what the situation is on your side?"

"Hoang City? Duong Quang residential area, what a distant place. Didn't expect you all could still be alive. Congratulations, congratulations. We are quite far from you. We are at Huong Son Film City; this is our shelter base."

The other party replied.

In the past, Lam Pham rarely went out traveling, mainly because he was poor and had no money to go to other places to have fun. So, when the other party mentioned the place, his face was blank.

"Where is this?"

He asked curiously.

Co Hang thought for a moment and said: "I know. Huong Son Film City is an ancient-style film and television base city, surrounded by walls. It's about eight hundred to a thousand kilometers from here, indeed not close."

Ma Duy Vien said: "Then for them to use that place as a shelter base, it means it has surrounding walls. As long as they don't encounter a zombie tide attack, holding it should indeed be no problem."

Hearing their explanation, he instantly understood. Lam Pham continued to communicate.

"Your Huong Son Film City, how many survivors are there?"

"Several thousand, I guess. Haven't counted specifically, no time to manage these things."

"That's a lot of people. Have you encountered zombie attacks over there? How are supplies resolved?" Lam Pham had many questions he wanted to know.

Co Hang, at the side, clenched his fists, looking somewhat emotional. He knew there would definitely be other shelter bases outside. Humanity's potential in desperate situations was endless. Perhaps a momentary disaster could easily leave people helpless.

But as long as one survived the initial predicament, one could find a way to continue living.

The other party didn't seem to feel Lam Pham was annoying but continued to reply.

"Brother, I'm not bragging, but the walls of our Huong Son Film City base are a good eight meters high. Zombies can't climb walls, so how can they get in? Besides, we've even raised them higher; the current height is already ten meters. As for supplies you mentioned, of course, we have to figure it out ourselves. This place is a small society; either work or go out and search."

What the other party said seemed to be exactly the same as Ha Khanh's initial operational model at Hanh Van Hao.

Co Hang thought, film cities usually have very little food, unlike Hanh Van Hao which had food reserves. Needing to solve it themselves was understandable. It was just that he didn't know what the model over there was exactly. After all, under such circumstances, things were relatively realistic and cruel.

"Brother Hang, do you think they know about crystals and Awakened ones?"

Lam Pham asked.

Co Hang thought for a moment, "I think they should know. It's not too complicated a thing. With attentive people verifying, it's easy to try out."

It wasn't that he thought so ill of people.

In his view, if someone obtained crystals or became an Awakened one, they would definitely think of various ways to verify more things. Besides, the apocalypse had been going on for so long now; basically, nothing could be hidden.

Lam Pham nodded, then continued to chat with the other party.

"Do you know about crystals and Awakened ones?"

"You mean that stuff in zombies' heads, and ordinary people becoming particularly formidable? Brother, can you tell me how to make ordinary people even more formidable? You wouldn't believe it, those people are terrifyingly strong, and their treatment is very good."

The other party's tone was very emotional, evidently having touched upon a topic he was interested in.

Lam Pham said: "Sorry, I also don't know how to become an Awakened one. However, if you encounter a thunderstorm someday, you can try standing in the rain for a while."

"Thunderstorm?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Alright, what exactly do you want? If you want to come to Huong Son Film City shelter, then just drive over yourself. You're absolutely welcome; we're short of people here."

"I'm already in a shelter, I can't go to yours. Oh right, I compiled a zombie picture atlas myself, recording the situations of various zombies. It might be helpful to your side. Although I can't show you the photos, I can describe them, and you can record the zombie characteristics."

"What kind of thing?"

The survivor communicating with Lam Pham was clearly bewildered by Lam Pham, not expecting to encounter such a strange fellow while casually playing with radio equipment at home.

"It's an introduction that will be helpful to you."

"Oh, that thing. No need to say, I know it all. Our people here are very formidable; we don't need those things. My friend is calling me out, let's not chat anymore for now."

In the room.

Lam Pham looked at Ma Duy Vien, pointed at the equipment in his hand. Ma Duy Vien said helplessly: "The other party is probably gone."

Co Hang sighed and said: "Perhaps their side is really very comfortable and safe, which makes them not take external information to heart. But there's also another possibility, which is that their Awakened ones are quite strong, have encountered many zombies, and thus know many zombie types.

Currently, how many shelters there are across the country is an unknown number.

Shelters in cities are not very realistic.

After all, not all cities are like Hoang City, with Lam Pham constantly clearing them out, thereby reducing a lot of pressure and providing survival opportunities for survivors."

"Hopefully so."

Lam Pham wished everyone well.

Huong Son Film City base.

A young man smiled and said: "Just now I used that radio equipment I found to contact another shelter. The conversation was quite pleasant, but the other party talked a bit too much nonsense. My head was buzzing. Luckily, you came to find me, otherwise I would have been annoyed to death."

The young man standing beside him hurriedly asked, "Where is their shelter?"

"From what he said, it seems to be in Hoang City, Duong Quang residential area."

"Impossible! Hoang City is a big city; the zombies there are definitely numerous. Wanting to survive there, I think it's impossible. Is the other party teasing you?"

"Who knows? It has nothing to do with me anyway. Whether it's true or false, I never thought of leaving this place. You know how dangerous it is outside; zombies are everywhere. Oh right, I contacted my younger brother. I don't know if he can get here safely. If he can get here, I'll ask him."

"Sigh, if the survival environment could be a bit easier, I'd really like to go."

"Don't even think about it. It's pretty good now. If you go out from here, whether you can even get there is an unknown. And you don't have a vehicle, so how can you go?"

"That's true too."

Quite a few people lived in this film city base.

Although they had a place to survive, the people passing by them didn't look good. Not to say they were as thin as firewood, but at least they looked truly haggard, their spirits very poor.

They saw a little girl hiding in a corner crying, seemingly saying, "Give me back the corpse core Uncle gave me..."

Hearing "corpse core," they glanced at each other, not expecting a little girl to actually have a corpse core. Corpse cores were very valuable in the Huong Son Film City shelter.

It could be exchanged for a lot of food.

"Little friend, how did you get that corpse core?"

The crying little girl looked up at the two big brothers before her, "Uncle Dam Thanh gave it to me, but then they snatched it away."

Instantly.

The image of Dam Thanh appeared in their minds. That was a dark, burly man, carrying a steel spear. It was said that in peaceful times, he was a master spear wielder. In the Huong Son Film City shelter, he was a big figure, with a very high status, and even possessed strength surpassing ordinary people. Once, they had personally witnessed him kill a large-bodied zombie with one spear thrust from the city wall.

It shocked everyone.

Of course, regarding the little girl's encounter, they were also powerless to help. This kind of thing happened frequently in the Huong Son shelter. When one was desperately hungry, anything could be done.

Right now, they were just going to stand guard on the city wall, which was also their job. After standing guard until morning, they could get two pieces of bread. Although the bread was a bit hard, at least there was food, and they could stay alive.

After the apocalypse, money, power, all became useless.

From the very beginning, having supplies was king.
