"He's that guy, the one who specializes in cleaning the base's toilets."
"I remember his name is Ngo Dat, right?"
"Yes, that's him. The base doesn't take in people. He shamelessly begged to stay here, calling them father and mother. In the end, he was arranged to clean the toilets, considered a permanent resident of the base."
Ngo Dat, hearing what everyone said, hung his head even lower.
He was just an ordinary survivor.
How could one live so easily in the apocalypse? Encountering a zombie was a dead end. So, in order to survive, he was willing to give up his dignity, to be unscrupulously ridiculed by others, to become a laughingstock just to stay at the base.
Even if he had to deal with urination every day.
But for him, being able to live was good enough.
He learned that Lam Pham had arrived and was inviting people to the Duong Quang shelter. But he had also heard that it was like being raised in captivity. The survivors who could be brought there were definitely Awakeners. Someone like him, they probably wouldn't even care about.
But he still mustered up the courage and asked.
Lam Pham felt helpless in his heart. Why did people nowadays have to mock others like this, just because they were Awakeners and the others were ordinary survivors?
Perhaps when Awakeners appeared, the class distinction between people was completely drawn, even divided very clearly, and a serious chain of contempt had already appeared.
"Look up and tell me, do you want to go with me?" Lam Pham said.
Ngo Dat looked up, his face gaunt, his eyes blank. But within those blank eyes, there was a strong desire for life. He said firmly, "Yes, I want to go. Can I?"
How he hoped the other could answer him, "Yes..."
But he felt the possibility was very low.
However...
"You can, of course you can," Lam Pham said.
In a flash, Ngo Dat's eyes widened, looking at Lam Pham in disbelief. "I really can?"
"You can."
Hearing Lam Pham's definite answer.
His eyes turned red, and tears couldn't help but flow down. This was the most exciting news he had heard since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
Lam Pham looked at everyone at the scene.
"Since none of you are willing, then forget it. I hope you can have a good future in the apocalypse."
Lam Pham said, then nodded at Quy Thu Nguyet. He knew that Quy Thu Nguyet wanted to investigate the situation here, so he wouldn't say anything more. He came down from the high platform and walked up to Ngo Dat.
"I'll take you away now."
He effortlessly slung Ngo Dat over his shoulder, leaped up, and in a flash, disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, everyone's mouths were wide open, very shocked.
Such a domineering way of leaving?
Pang Vien felt regret for the choice of this group of Awakeners. He shook his head and said, "Your choice is truly very wrong. In the future, you might regret your choice."
"Pang Vien, then why didn't you go?"
"Yeah, regret? What do we have to regret? I think you should think carefully about how you're going to resolve offending Luc Hao for this woman."
Pang Vien laughed in his heart.
Luc Hao?
He's long gone, okay?
Ton A said, "I say, everyone, you really missed out. There's no such thing as being raised in captivity. I don't know what you're thinking. I know some of you are thinking, you're afraid of the appearance of an existence that can threaten him. To be honest, if that were really the case, he would have killed you all on the spot. Who among you could have stopped him?"
"No one, not a single one. The opportunity was given to you, but you didn't seize it. There's nothing to be done."
Ton A naturally knew what this group of survivors was thinking.
They had adapted to life at the base.
Completing missions, obtaining crystals, robbing people on the way, doing whatever they wanted, fighting among themselves.
Everyone looked at each other, thinking carefully, it seemed to make some sense.
Duong Quang shelter.
When Lam Pham handed Ngo Dat over to Quan Hao, Ngo Dat's expression was dazed, because he saw Luc Hao's corpse. His whole person was stunned. Luc Hao was the most powerful Awakener at the base.
In his eyes, he was truly like a god.
But who would have thought.
That such a god-like existence would be beaten to death.
"Brother, what are you waiting for?" Quan Hao patted Ngo Dat's shoulder. This guy was really lucky. An ordinary survivor actually managed to live until now. This guy was truly blessed by heaven.
"It's nothing."
Ngo Dat was a little nervous.
Quan Hao said, "It's okay. It's very safe here. What are you good at?"
Ngo Dat didn't even think and said, "Cleaning toilets."
Quan Hao looked at him and blinked. What a talent. At such a young age, he had jumped to a job decades later. "Not bad, but our toilets here are all in our homes. I'll go tell Brother Khai and arrange for you to do some environmental protection work. Just sweep the streets every day, it's very easy."
Newcomers often needed to be assigned work.
Nothing complicated.
Just simple.
The purpose was to let the people who came here integrate into this big family faster.
In the laboratory.
Professor Ha, Dong Dong, and Chuc Thanh were all here.
Lam Pham said, "This corpse was a telekinesis Awakener when he was alive, the same situation as Van Van. Professor Ha, I'll leave most of this for you to research. I feel that the physical condition of a telekinesis Awakener may be a bit different from that of other Awakeners."
Professor Ha said, "Okay, no problem."
Luc Hao had not done any good deeds when he was alive. To be used for research after his death, to be honest, for Luc Hao, wasn't this a kind of self-redemption?
"Chuc Thanh, you watch Dong Dong's situation carefully later, okay?" Lam Pham said.
"Mhm, I know."
Chuc Thanh nodded stiffly.
Then he saw Lam Pham swipe his finger across Luc Hao's arm, directly breaking off an arm, and took the arm to Dong Dong.
"Dong Dong, give it a try. Awakener's flesh and blood is good for you," Lam Pham said softly.
He knew Dong Dong could communicate.
Dong Dong looked at Lam Pham, then at the arm in front of him. He let out a roar, turned his body, and gnawed on the arm, as if he didn't want Lam Pham and the others to see him eating flesh and blood.
Lam Pham nodded at Chuc Thanh.
Chuc Thanh stared without blinking.
Just then.
Snap!
The gnawed arm fell to the ground. Dong Dong fell to the ground as if in great pain, his body trembling non-stop, and his throat let out roars.
"Brother Lam, Dong Dong's characteristics are different from Officer Hoang's. Although most of them are similar, Dong Dong has an extra characteristic."
"What is it?"
"Perfect fusion evolver."
"Fusion?"
Lam Pham's mind instantly thought of the Fusion-type zombie, the super BOSS-type zombie whose crystals went all the way to colorful, the kind with invincible individual combat power. Among all humans, besides him who could deal with it, no one else could deal with this kind of zombie.
"Brother Lam, Dong Dong is evolving, but his evolutionary path has a wrong path. If he develops along the wrong path, there may be problems. I hope Dong Dong can choose the correct path," Chuc Thanh said while watching.
