(4) Do You Know How Desperate I Was Back Then? (4)

"Brother Lam, join my room, let's charge!"

Computer games are like that; it's more fun with more people. Single-player is meaningless. Why do many people in their twenties and thirties increasingly dislike going to internet cafes?

It's because it's always one person in the internet cafe, lonely, solitary, uninteresting. If it were still like in the past, with four or five people together, they could still pull all-nighters.

Tonight, amidst laughter and chatter, Lam Pham also stayed up late.

Early morning.

Diem City.

Shelter.

Three survivors huddled together for warmth, always thinking of ways to escape. They firmly believed Vuong Phi had met with misfortune. This place was not as they imagined.

But the guys here were always watching them.

Just then.

They heard movement outside.

Only to see a Jeep stop at the entrance. The people who arrived were also unfamiliar survivors, two in total, one man and one woman, their faces weary. Clearly, they had also suffered zombie oppression.

For those three survivors, was this place really that good? They had just arrived the day before, and more people were coming.

Look... This group of terrifying survivors actually showed an amiable and approachable smile. This was all used to deceive others.

Chu Bang personally welcomed them, appearing slightly regretful.

These two who came were actually not Awakened ones.

However... among them was a female survivor. It had to be said, it was also a kind of harvest.

Just then.

The three survivors who had always wanted to leave rushed out.

"Don't believe them! They are not good people! Hurry up!"

The sudden voice startled the two survivors who had just gotten out of the car. They instantly became vigilant, as if not expecting this kind of situation.

Chu Bang's expression was calm, not showing extreme anger just because these three rushed out, nor as if some conspiracy had been discovered.

He spread his hands and said: "Don't be nervous, misunderstandings often exist. I, Chu Bang, am willing to take you all in because we are all humans, all compatriots. Suspicion is very normal. If you don't want to stay, I will absolutely not force you. Here, you can come and go freely."

The three survivors rushed to the door.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Chu Bang asked regretfully.

"Yes! What on earth did you do to Vuong Phi?"

Chu Bang said: "What I said is all true. Vuong Phi really left. He told me his girlfriend is in Hoang City, and he wanted to go to Hoang City to see if his girlfriend was there. You are so familiar with Vuong Phi; you should know if I'm telling the truth or not."

The three survivors heard these words.

Clearly stunned.

They had indeed heard Vuong Phi say that his girlfriend was in Hoang City. However, in the early stages of the apocalypse, he had sent messages, but no one replied. He suspected she had already met with misfortune.

Chu Bang continued: "There's no need for me to deceive you. Besides, you can imagine, what good would it do me to deceive you? What good would Vuong Phi be to me? It's not like I want to do him any harm."

The three survivors looked at each other. Until now, they still didn't know if the other party was telling the truth or not.

Even the two survivors who had just arrived also found that things might be a bit different from what they thought.

"How do we know if you're telling the truth or not?" one of the survivors said.

Chu Bang sighed and shook his head, "Alright then. The most worrying thing in the apocalypse is the lack of trust between companions. I, Chu Bang, will absolutely not force anyone. I'll give you a car, give you enough supplies. You can go wherever you want."

"Trust is the key to fighting the apocalypse together. I don't hope my companions are always wary of me, so that when danger comes, situations arise, leading to everyone being wiped out."

As he said these words.

The three survivors looked at each other, their thoughts somewhat different.

"Big brother Chu, it was my misunderstanding. I'm really sorry."

"I'll listen to you."

"I want to go."

The last survivor thought, always feeling something was not right. Then he looked at his two companions, "You guys come with me. Since you're already suspicious, don't force yourselves to stay."

Chu Bang said nothing but had someone go get them supplies. Very quickly, ample supplies were laid out before them, and he also took out a car key.

"If you want to go, I won't keep you. This is the car key. The gas tank is full, and the supplies are enough to live on for half a month. I hope you have good luck."

Chu Bang pretended to shake his head regretfully.

The other two survivors who wanted to stay had their vigilance towards Chu Bang vanish at this moment. They advised their companion not to go, that it was all zombies outside, and to believe that big brother Chu would not harm them.

The survivor who wanted to go took the key, took the supplies, "Thank you."

He knew his other two companions had decided to stay.

Saying any more would be useless.

Chu Bang looked at the two survivors who had just arrived again, "You can go too if you want. I will still give you enough supplies. We are all compatriots; helping each other is what we should do."

The one man and one woman, two survivors, felt that this stranger seemed to be a really good person. After all, the person who wanted to leave had already driven away.

He didn't even try to stop them.

"We'll stay."

Chu Bang smiled, "Welcome to the Diem City shelter. I hope we can unite as one, develop the shelter together, and make our lives better."

"Okay."

"I think so too."

The one man and one woman, two survivors, said excitedly.

The other two survivors said: "Big brother Chu, we're truly sorry. We actually suspected you all along. We hope you can forgive us."

Chu Bang patted their shoulders and said: "It's okay. Anyone would be suspicious. After all, when Vuong Phi left, I should have had him say goodbye to you all, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding."

Then, Chu Bang looked into the distance and sighed.

"I hope that little brother has good luck."

Far away.

The young man driving away from the Diem City shelter kept thinking.

"There's definitely a problem, absolutely a problem. It's just that the other party's performance was too real."

He looked at both sides of the road, very wary of the surrounding situation.

Even though driving already felt very dangerous.

He also thought, would the other party really let him leave just like that?

Thinking about it, he shook his head.

He had already driven away. Even if the other party wanted to stop him, it would be impossible.

Looking at the supplies placed in the back of the car, a smile appeared on his face. This should be enough for a long time.

But...

Bang!

A violent explosion thundered.

The vehicle, which had been speeding just moments ago, was instantly crushed.

A Tyrant Zombie leaped down from a rooftop, crushing the car. Its sharp flesh scythe directly pierced through the car roof, impaling the inside of the car. Bright red blood sprayed all over the car windows.
