(1) I Want to Get to Know You for a Moment, Then Cut You Down, Is That Okay? (1)

Ha Khanh was a bit dazed by Chu Duong's actions.

He thought of Chu Duong's help to him and also knew that Chu Duong had some ideas about developing his own power in the apocalypse. But developing power would inevitably involve doing things against the rules; this was unavoidable.

He knew Lam Pham's situation well and reminded Chu Duong to choose the correct path.

To prevent Chu Duong from straying further and further down the wrong path.

Previously, he could sense Chu Duong's hesitation about this matter, a feeling of clearly having laid such a foundation, yet just giving it up like this, "I, Chu Duong, am truly unwilling."

But who would have thought... this fellow actually turned around and came here.

My goodness, one can only say, my goodness.

Chu Duong held Ha Khanh's hand and said gratefully: "Boss Ha, thank you for your guidance. I have deeply realized the future direction. You are right, the light in the apocalypse is right here. I followed your words and brought all my companions here. After coming, my body and mind feel as if they have undergone a baptism, a kind of indescribable ease."

Ha Khanh blinked, his mouth agape, wanting to speak but hesitating, finally blurting out a few words.

"It's good that you understand."

He thought of the situation at Hanh Vun Hao; there were many people, and it would still take some time to bring them over.

Chu Duong smiled and said: "Boss Ha, you also know I'm an Awakened. Brother Lam provided me with crystals, and my abilities have been enhanced. Look at these battle armors; Brother Lam said he would give me a set of battle armor. I think when I put on the battle armor and coordinate with my abilities, I can definitely bring help to the shelter."

Ha Khanh: ...

He felt that Chu Duong was showing off to him. Speaking so directly, was it to make his heart feel envious?

Unfortunately... envy was useless. Ha Khanh also wanted to become an Awakened.

Since there was no way to communicate with Chu Duong, he simply treated Chu Duong as air, ignoring him.

Chu Duong secretly grinned.

He saw envy in Boss Ha's eyes; this was the effect he wanted.

Huong Son Film City base.

Mao Binh and the others were stunned by the sight before them. Mecha... no, it was battle armor. The cold metal gleamed brightly, and they stared without blinking.

"Mr. Lam, is this the battle armor you recorded in the Zombie Picture Book?"

Mao Binh asked knowingly. The impact the battle armor brought them was still quite shocking.

Men are youths until death.

"Yes, it's the super-strong battle armor painstakingly researched by the renowned domestic scientist, Professor Ha. I enhanced it with crystals. Using twenty crystals, it broke through the enhancement limit and reached the first stage. Its defense mechanism has been greatly improved."

Lam Pham properly praised Professor Ha.

Actually, it wasn't praise, but Professor Ha's contributions were indeed worthy of everyone's respect.

The appearance of battle armor, regardless of whether it was for ordinary people or Awakened ones, had unimaginably great benefits.

Even if an ordinary person wore battle armor, they could easily hunt ordinary zombies. And if an Awakened wore battle armor, its power would naturally be even more unimaginable.

Dam Thanh pondered and said: "If we wear battle armor and use our abilities, dealing with zombies might be even simpler and more relaxed."

Lam Pham said: "Yes, that's right, that's exactly the situation. You all use crystals to enhance your awakened abilities, and your strength has been greatly improved. With your current strength and wearing battle armor, if you encountered the previous zombie horde, even if you couldn't stop it in the end with your coordination, you wouldn't lose so quickly."

The four sets of battle armor he brought were to enhance the safety of this place.

The youth Chu Chu gently touched it, his eyes shining. He just liked it and also knew that these battle armors were not fated for him. At most, he could just look, but even just looking was satisfying enough.

Truly very beautiful.

"Can I try one on?" Dam Thanh asked.

Lam Pham smiled and said: "Of course you can. These battle armors were originally brought for you all."

Dam Thanh put on the battle armor. The straight blade on his back had been enhanced by crystals. Unfortunately, Dam Thanh was an expert with spears. Of course, this didn't affect anything.

Blade and spear combined, invincible wherever they went.

Everyone looked at Dam Thanh wearing the battle armor, sighing in admiration in their hearts. Only when one put it on could one truly feel how incredibly cool this battle armor was.

Dam Thanh wielded his long spear, performing a set of spear techniques with extreme proficiency, exuding an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.

"Good, very good, no hindrance at all, the movements are very smooth."

Dam Thanh was very satisfied after trying on the battle armor for the first time.

Although he hadn't fought zombies, he could feel that with his strength combined with the battle armor, even if he encountered the previous Tyrant Zombie, he wouldn't be without the strength to fight.

Lam Pham watched with a smile on his face.

He liked to see such situations. To solve the apocalypse, relying on him alone was definitely not enough; more people needed to stand up.

"Battle armor is suitable for close-combat players. I, a long-range player, basically have no fate with it," Divine Archer Truong Ung said with a grin.

He also liked battle armor, but there were only so many sets. During the last zombie horde siege, six close-combat Awakened ones fought zombies below the city.

Cao Bac, holding two axes, smiled and said: "Truong Ung, seeing Dam Bao Bao wearing battle armor, don't you feel it's very handsome? If you also want to have close-combat abilities, I can teach you to train your body. I think under my education, you will quickly have big, buff pectoral muscles."

Truong Ung thought of Cao Bac's kind of close-contact training and shivered without feeling cold. Scared, scared. He remembered when Cao Bac first came to Huong Son base, he always wanted to train everyone and improve their stamina. Some unlucky fellow bore the brunt and ran away in fright on the very first day of training. That close-contact training, ordinary people with normal psychology couldn't stand it.

"Forget it, I have no such thoughts." Truong Ung waved his hand directly.

He expressed fear towards Cao Bac; it was really scary, okay?

Lam Pham said: "The battle armors are all here. You can see how to distribute them. Has anything strange happened recently?"

He believed in the safety index of Huong Son base; normally, nothing major would happen. If something major did happen, they could also contact him immediately via radio. And it was very fast for him to rush here from Hoang City.

Mao Binh said: "No, all is well. The last zombie horde already consumed the nearby zombies. Occasionally, some zombies wander here, but Truong Ung will take care of them."

Ever since the zombie horde, the pressure had drastically reduced.

Lam Pham had gained quite a bit of experience clearing zombies up to now. Without external factors, after an area's zombies were cleared, it was very difficult for them to form their previous formation again, or rather, it was basically impossible.

Unless some special zombie appeared, relying on its ability to attract other zombies, wandered around everywhere, with zombies following it each time, and finally settled here, replenishing the depleted zombie horde.

But this probability was very low.

"That's good. Currently, Hoang City knows about the bank base, and Hanh Vun Hao has also begun to merge with the Duong Quang shelter. The number of surviving people has reached several thousand. When the zombies in Hoang City are completely cleared out, that will be when humanity truly begins to fight against the zombies."

Lam Pham was full of hope for the future.

As long as people lived, there was hope.

He told Mao Binh and the others these things, also wanting to give them hope.

"Mr. Lam, at that time, will our Huong Son base also have to relocate?" Mao Binh asked.

Lam Pham pondered, "The general direction in the future should be like that."

Mao Binh nodded. He looked around. The survivors of Huong Son base, many of them were looking this way from not far away. He saw a kind of worship for Lam Pham in the eyes of this group of survivors.

Understandable.

Having witnessed Mr. Lam fighting zombies, anyone would regard Mr. Lam as their only god. In this kind of apocalyptic situation, many people had already despaired of the future.

But when a savior appeared, they would regard him as their faith.

Simple conversation.

Lam Pham waved to everyone and left Huong Son base. He didn't return to Hoang City but went to the city of Huong Son base to check the situation. The closest city to Huong Son base was Huong Son.

Huong Son was a county-level city. Although it was a county-level city, its economic situation was not bad, mainly because Huong Son Film City drove a lot of economic activity. In the past, when celebrities came to film, fans would follow them here. There were also many extras whose food, accommodation, etc., when added up, also supported many local shops.

After Lam Pham left.

Mao Binh said: "Mr. Lam's help to us is immense. The battle armor he brought can make our Huong Son base even safer."

Dam Thanh said: "Indeed. The effectiveness of battle armor is greater than we imagined. He said he wants to clear out the zombies in Hoang City quickly. Although I know the number of zombies there is very large, I always believe he can do it."

Mao Binh nodded, then looked at the surrounding survivors, "Everyone has seen and heard. In the future, Huong Son base will not be our final place of survival. Our future is in the Duong Quang shelter. So, in the period to come, I hope everyone can unite with each other, manage our Huong Son base well, and wait for that time to come."

There was hope in the eyes of the围观的幸存者 (surrounding survivors), and a future.

During that zombie horde, many people were afraid, snatching hiding spots from the old and young. Mao Binh originally intended to punish them severely, but in the end, he let it go.

Perhaps human nature was just like that; one couldn't force everyone to be strong and brave.

In the crowd, Cung Minh Huy and his younger brother stayed together. Since that accidental exposure, the way people around them looked at them had also changed.

Of course.

These were not important.

He also yearned for the Duong Quang shelter.

Very quickly.

He appeared on a tall building in Huong Son city, looking at the surrounding situation. The streets were in indescribable chaos, littered with overturned vehicles. After some time in the apocalypse, various buildings clearly showed signs of dilapidation.

"Ooh ooh..."

The roars of zombies accompanied his ears.
