(1) With Me Here, You Can Rest Assured (1)
The mysterious person in the pitch-black battle armor appeared before them.
He stood in front of the main gate of their shelter.
Just as death was about to engulf them, he suddenly appeared. Those seemingly terrifying and ferocious zombies were like ants before him, easily crushed.
Headshots!
Headshots!
The swift and domineering methods left them dumbfounded, speechless. They had never imagined that someone could be so ruthless.
"Who on earth is he?" Chu Quy muttered to himself.
Old Vuong stared intently at the large characters on the back of the battle armor.
"Police."
They were all literate people.
How could they not know the characters on the back of the battle armor?
"Are there still police officers alive now?" Chu Quy was a little in disbelief, always feeling that it was somewhat fake. The people of this profession they had encountered in the apocalypse had not fulfilled their own responsibilities, but had instead relied on their guns to forcibly oppress the living survivors.
Everyone's expression was very quiet.
They said nothing.
They looked at each other, their eyes always revealing a sense of bewilderment.
Officer Hoang turned his head and made eye contact with them. They couldn't see what Officer Hoang looked like under the mask. To them, Officer Hoang was full of mystery.
What they didn't expect was that this mysterious person in the pitch-black battle armor took out a satellite phone and handed it to them.
The moment Old Vuong took the satellite phone, before he could even ask what it meant, the previously threatened zombies completely rioted.
At the end of the corridor's zombie tide, Kim Minh Hao let out a low roar. The zombies in the corridor dared not disobey. They roared ferociously, letting out "grrr" growls, and surged towards them.
"The zombies are coming!"
"Can he really hold them off?"
Old Vuong and the others looked at the current situation and couldn't help but worry.
A few zombies at the forefront appeared before them. Officer Hoang waved his arm. The hand, covered in battle armor, had extremely strong destructive power. When he swung it, you could hear a "whoosh" sound.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Zombie heads continuously exploded, and viscous blood splattered everywhere.
Officer Hoang stood like a great mountain, firmly blocking Old Vuong and the others.
Chu Quy said, "I don't know why, but even though I don't know who he is and he hasn't said a single word, looking at his back, it's as if he's telling us, 'Don't be afraid, I'm here...'"
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Old Vuong and the others looked at Chu Quy.
Did they have that feeling?
Finally, they looked at that back, at the mysterious person in the pitch-black battle armor continuously killing the ferocious zombies. This group of zombies just wanted to break through the defense line and devour them, who had no way to retreat.
They were completely engrossed.
They wanted to help, but they didn't know how.
They were all flesh and blood. Dealing with a single ordinary zombie might be something they were confident in, but to fight against so many zombies in front of them would just be adding another delicious dish to the zombies' menu.
For some reason, the two characters on the back of the mysterious person in the pitch-black battle armor who was blocking their way were so dazzling.
It was as if they were emitting a kind of warm light.
Just as they were mired in despair, a dazzling light flashed, illuminating their path forward, and this light was becoming more and more dazzling.
Duong Tinh, holding the baby, said, "What does he mean by giving us the phone?"
In her view, it was impossible for someone to inexplicably give them a satellite phone. There must be some meaning to it.
Old Vuong looked down at the satellite phone, turned it on, and saw the communication records inside. There was only one number.
"Does he want us to make a call?" Old Vuong said.
Chu Quy said, "I feel like he probably wants us to make a call and ask for help."
Just as they were discussing...
They raised their heads slightly and glanced at the situation in front of them.
They saw a huge zombie appear in front of the mysterious person in the pitch-black battle armor. The fist it threw was bigger than their heads. They didn't know if the other party could withstand it.
It wasn't until the mysterious person in the pitch-black battle armor threw a punch that the zombie with fists bigger than their heads had its arm instantly shattered, revealing bloody bones.
Just one punch against another punch, and it had caused such a terrifying situation. It was too domineering.
The zombies were increasing in number, swarming like cockroaches. The scene was too frightening. But even so, that figure was still continuously killing zombies. One after another, zombies were blown apart. The domineering scene directly impacted their souls.
"I'll make the call."
Old Vuong decided to dial this number...
Hoang City Sunshine Shelter.
"Is this the 2.0 battle armor?"
Lam Pham looked at the battle armor in front of him. It had obvious changes compared to the traditional battle armor.
The surface color was an interweaving of black and white. Just from the appearance, the aesthetic value of this battle armor was much better than the 1.0 battle armor.
Professor Ha said, "Mm, this is the latest battle armor prototype. It has a considerable improvement over the 1.0 traditional battle armor. We have installed an intelligent analysis system in the helmet. We have input the data of the zombie types from the "Zombie Illustrated Guide" into it. If we encounter a zombie, it will give the zombie's situation at the first moment. Even if you haven't read the "Zombie Illustrated Guide", you can still know the zombie's species and type."
Lam Pham listened carefully to Professor Ha's explanation.
He nodded from time to time.
Although there were some professional terms he couldn't quite understand, he knew that Professor Ha had put a lot of effort into the battle armor.
"Night vision and intelligent analysis are just a small change to the battle armor. The real change is the change in the internal materials. After wearing the battle armor, when it is subjected to external impact, the special internal materials can buffer most of the impact force."
"Many zombies nowadays are known for their formidable strength. Once hit by these zombies, the impact is very great and hard to withstand. The damage to the body is relatively heavy. But now, under the protection of the special material, the impact on the body is greatly reduced."
Professor Ha introduced that the main problem now was the difficulty in getting equipment and materials. If he had sufficient equipment and materials, he really wanted to install a small nuclear reactor in the battle armor, along with a complete set of weapons like lasers.
Lam Pham nodded. It was indeed so. Ordinary zombies or some ordinary evolved zombies were easy to deal with. The battle armor's buffering was enough to offset that damage.
But for things like Tyrants, fusion-type zombies, hybrid-type zombies, and so on...
Their strength was very strong. A simple collision could cause a violent and terrifying impact.
Humans were just flesh and blood. If there was no battle armor protection, a simple collision could smash them into pieces, their internal organs would explode, and so on.
Professor Ha picked up the battle armor and demonstrated. He put on the arm part and moved it slightly. A crisp sound came, and a sharp, bright elbow blade appeared.
"This is an elbow blade installed on the battle armor. When the battle armor is powered up, the elbow blade is one with the battle armor and can also be powered up. Also, considering that the geographical environment for combat is mostly in the city, an suction device has been specially added, which can adapt to various environments."
When Professor Ha designed 2.0, he wasn't thinking about how high-end and grand it would be, but was considering its practicality in actual combat.
Lam Pham said, "Professor Ha, that's great. This battle armor is very practical in many aspects. When they change into the second-generation battle armor, they will definitely be stronger."
He always firmly believed that as long as humans could unite, they could definitely defeat the zombies and overcome the apocalypse.
"This is all I can do. I hope it can bring you some help," Professor Ha lamented. He felt a sense of powerlessness in the field of zombie research and could only make some contributions in terms of equipment.
But at this moment.
The satellite phone Lam Pham was carrying rang.
He took out the phone.
"Officer Hoang's phone. Has he encountered another survivor?"
Lam Pham answered the phone. He would never delay Officer Hoang's calls. After all, the situation outside was ever-changing, and things could turn upside down in an instant.
"Hello, Officer Hoang, how are you?"
"You... hello, I'm not Officer Hoang."
Hearing these words, Lam Pham didn't feel any surprise. He often encountered this kind of situation and had his own way of handling it.
"Oh, hello. Don't be nervous, don't be afraid. I am Lam Pham from the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter. The one in front of you wearing the black battle armor is Officer Hoang. He will ensure your safety. Please tell me your location, and I will arrive at the scene in the shortest possible time. Please be sure to trust the Officer Hoang in front of you. He will risk his life to protect you," Lam Pham said at high speed. He just wanted the other party to relax their guard. Listening carefully to the voice coming from the satellite phone, it was a bit noisy. It was obvious that Officer Hoang was fighting with the zombies.
He knew that being anxious was useless.
