(1) In That Soaring Transport Plane, Lies Our Respect (1)

Lam Pham had never thought that a new type of Awakened one would appear.

An ability that could heal wounds.

No... or perhaps it could be said to be an ability to bring the dead back to life. With such injuries, one was very close to death, fundamentally unsavable. But that little girl's ability had not been enhanced, yet to have such an effect was truly unimaginable.

Chu Hieu carried Tho Tho and left first, having the only old doctor in Thanh Thuy Town examine her.

"Is the mastermind gone?" Hoc Phan asked.

Lam Pham said, "Yes, it's over. Not too far from here, there's an artificial shelter, hidden deep in the mountains. The main gate was forcibly broken open by external force and became a zombie base, occupied by a mature-stage deity-type zombie. Fortunately, it was only a mature-stage deity-type zombie. If it were a Creator, the consequences would be unthinkable."

If a Creator wanted to occupy Thanh Thuy Town.

Basically, before he even arrived, it would be completely gone.

The strength of a Creator was too terrifying, not something ordinary survivors could deal with.

It was just that the mature-stage deity-type zombie was a bit interesting. Hiding there, it thought it would be very safe with the protection of the zombies. If this were a long time ago, Lam Pham would definitely have exclaimed, "What a terrifying zombie."

But ever since he came into contact with different Creators.

He no longer felt that those zombies were anything to be afraid of.

"That's truly something to celebrate," Hoc Phan sighed.

Luu Dao, on the side, watched the two of them converse with a bewildered expression. He was relatively unfamiliar with Lam Pham, but Hoc Phan's conversation with him was clear. He felt that Hoc Phan was also somewhat unfamiliar to him.

How did it feel like Hoc Phan seemed to know much more than he did? His eyes were full of doubt.

Hoc Phan noticed Luu Dao's confusion and said, "Lam Pham, let me introduce you. This is our Resistance Army's leader, Luu Dao."

"Hello, Lam Pham from the Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City." Lam Pham greeted him. To have such a person still exist in the apocalypse was truly something to celebrate.

What the apocalypse was really like, there was probably no need to say much.

People's hearts were treacherous.

Surviving was the only thought in many people's minds.

Some even, despite clearly being able to survive, felt that merely surviving seemed meaningless, and wanted to do some things that could harm others. Lam Pham had no desire to know such survivors, but if he encountered them, he would absolutely not let them do as they pleased.

"Hello."

Luu Dao shook hands with Lam Pham. Thinking of the terrifying strength the other had displayed, Luu Dao also felt that the person standing before him could no longer be simply described as a human. Perhaps he could truly be introduced as the god Hoc Phan had mentioned.

Lam Pham said, "Hoc Phan has already told me about your situation. I have the utmost respect. Many people have lost faith in the apocalypse and are trapped in despair. But with your existence, I believe the apocalypse will definitely end. The hope of peace will be like a ray of sunshine, blooming completely in this land."

"Not at all. We are just doing our part. In the current situation, someone has to stand up. Hiding somewhere is just waiting for death."

Luu Dao knew this was not a simple matter. The zombies in the apocalypse were ferocious beasts, irrational. Encountering zombies meant a fight to the death between them. If you don't die, I will.

Hearing the other's words.

Lam Pham nodded with deep emotion. It was true. The survivors he had encountered also had similar thoughts.

If you don't do it, no one will.

The result of no one doing it is waiting for death.

Humanity would be wiped out in the apocalypse.

Completely vanishing from the planet.

At this moment.

Phuong Trien came from the distance. He had already let the townspeople take care of the wounded. This battle was truly intense. He had thought Thanh Thuy Town would be completely wiped out in this kind of zombie tide, but he never expected such a turn of events at the end.

His gaze towards Lam Pham was extraordinary.

It was like looking at a god with worship and awe.

Lam Pham nodded towards him and said, "The purpose of my coming here was because I received Hoc Phan's call for help. I rushed from Hoang City, not wanting to see any humans die at the hands of zombies. At the same time, I didn't expect so many people to be alive in Thanh Thuy Town. My idea is to bring the ordinary citizens of Thanh Thuy Town to live in the Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City."

"The zombies we face are no longer the ordinary zombies of the past. Evolved zombies are extremely terrifying, not something ordinary walls can block."

He spoke his thoughts.

A light flickered in Phuong Trien's eyes. He was willing to let the citizens of Thanh Thuy Town go to the Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City to live.

With such a god-like person protecting them.

It would definitely be very safe.

"I am the town chief elected by Thanh Thuy Town. I am willing to let the citizens go to the Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City," Phuong Trien said hurriedly.

Lam Pham smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you are willing to go, the gates of the Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City will always be open for you."

"Are there any requirements?" Phuong Trien asked. He thought that such an apocalyptic shelter must have extremely strict requirements, and not everyone could go there.

If it meant everyone could get there safely, he was willing to do anything.

Lam Pham smiled and said, "There are no requirements. As long as they are ordinary citizens, it's fine."

Ordinary citizens?

An unexpected answer.

He looked at Lam Pham, wanting to know if this was a joke. But seeing the other's sincere expression, it didn't look like he was joking at all.

It was just that Phuong Trien didn't think too deeply about it.

The "ordinary citizens" Lam Pham mentioned seemed very simple, but in the apocalypse, "ordinary citizens" were already very rare. It was very difficult to meet such a stable requirement.

Luu Dao quietly noted down "ordinary citizens," then suddenly looked up at Lam Pham. He seemed to have thought of the meaning behind these two words.

Lam Pham knew that the Resistance Army would not go to the shelter. Their goal was very clear, and they knew what they were doing. If they wanted a safe life, with their armed situation, they could naturally find a safe place.

"How many people are there in your Resistance Army in total?" Lam Pham wanted to fully arm the Resistance Army. A mortal body fighting zombies was truly too disadvantageous. Luu Dao said, "There were 325 people in total before. A few were just sacrificed, so there should be 320 people."

Hoc Phan on the side said, "You're not planning to have all of us wear armor, are you?"

Lam Pham said, "Yes, I want all of you to wear armor. With armor, you can ignore the threat of ordinary zombies. Also, are there any Awakened ones in your team, besides Chu Hieu and Tho Tho just now?"

Chu Hieu was a disguised Awakened one. This kind of Awakened one was really effective in the early stages, simply a perfect match for a lone wolf. But with the appearance of evolved zombies later on.

Disguised Awakened ones were not invincible.

Tyrant Zombies and the like could sense murderous intent.

Similar high-stage zombies could even tear through your disguise, seeing you clearly, leaving you with nowhere to hide before them. This was also an inseparable reason related to ability stage.

"Awakened ones?" Luu Dao still didn't know that having abilities would be called being an Awakened one. He still hadn't read the Zombie Illustrated Handbook and was a noob in the apocalypse.

Hoc Phan took out the Zombie Illustrated Handbook, flipped to that page, and handed it to Luu Dao. "This page has an introduction to Awakened ones. The book is for you. After reading it, you will know the current situation of the apocalypse."

Luu Dao took the book doubtfully. Just by looking at it, he knew this book was by no means ordinary. The content inside was truly astonishing.

"Lam Pham, I know who the Awakened one in our Resistance Army is. Besides Chu Hieu, there is another one named Ma Minh. His strength is immense. He can lift a car with one hand. According to the records in the book, he is a force-type Awakened one," Hoc Phan said.

Luu Dao instantly remembered who it was. It was exactly as Hoc Phan had said. That kid's strength was ridiculously strong.

Lam Pham didn't expect that out of a Resistance Army of over three hundred people, there were only two Awakened ones. In the early stages, this probability was very high, but now, such a probability was a bit low.

But it didn't matter.

None of this mattered now.

"Wait for me. Don't leave Thanh Thuy Town. I will help you improve your overall strength," Lam Pham said softly.

He didn't want this Resistance Army to die in vain.

The number of zombies was truly too large.

Their numbers were truly too few.

Every death meant one less survivor with hope for the future.

Although the Sunshine Shelter in Hoang City was safe, the outside was still very terrible. He was willing to unconditionally help this group of idealists.

When a person has no reverence, they dare to do anything. Zombies have no reverence.

Some surviving people also have none. They dare to do things they never dared to do before, even becoming accustomed to it, thinking it's just a small matter.
