(2) Welcome to Rooftop City (2)

"So unfriendly." Lam Pham shook his head. As the zombie approached, he directly kicked it outside. With a thud, the zombie flew straight into the opposite store, crashed heavily against the wall, and its body exploded, slumping down like a pile of mud.

"It's just a random zombie. There are no other zombie corpses on the surrounding roads. It's really strange. Where did they all go?"

If they had been cleared by someone, there would surely be corpses everywhere.

But until now, the corpses he had seen were all long dead, probably from the initial outbreak of the apocalypse, due to various accidents.

He walked out of the store and continued down the street. Happily finishing his drink, he threw the can into a trash can. One still needed to pay some attention to hygiene.

"Hey... is anyone there?"

"Is anyone still alive?"

Lam Pham raised his voice and shouted, hoping to hear a reply from a survivor. But it was a pity... it was too quiet, not even a single sound.

Soon.

He saw a collapsed building and fell into thought.

"Could it be that a corpse ball has formed, attracting all the zombies in a city?"

To be able to do this, only a Lord zombie could. If it really attracted all the zombies in a city to form a corpse ball, how massive would such a corpse ball be?

He walked while observing the surrounding situation.

The shops and streets all had an apocalyptic look.

There was nothing particularly strange.

Suddenly.

He felt as if he was being watched.

He was very sensitive to this feeling.

Standing still, he looked at the surrounding high-rises, then locked onto a direction. It was there. And just as he was about to raise his hand and wave towards the building over there.

Swoosh!

A sharp arrow came swiftly.

Clink!

Lam Pham caught it between two fingers.

This was an arrow. The one who could shoot an arrow must be a living person.

In a high-rise building in the distance was a figure holding a modern compound bow. This was a very powerful bow, which could be called the sniper rifle of bows, capable of piercing through riot shields. Its destructive power was extremely strong.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

A few more arrows flew through the air, all easily blocked by Lam Pham.

That figure was like an elf hidden in the darkness. Seeing the situation, its pupils suddenly shrank, as if it had seen something terrifying.

Then, as if realizing it had been discovered, it quickly changed its position, worried that if it continued to stay here, it would be found.

"Who is he?"

"He's afraid of me, but I have no ill intentions."

Lam Pham could understand the other party's behavior, but he was more happy. He had thought this city was a ghost town, but he didn't expect there to be living survivors.

He headed towards the other party's location.

In front, many cars were parked, blocking the way in rows. What was the use of such a barricade? Even an ordinary zombie could jump over it.

As he approached.

Boom!

Boom!

The vehicles instantly exploded, forming a sea of fire.

The violent explosions echoed through the city. Any ordinary survivor would have been blown to bits by such an explosion, not even a scrap left behind.

Lam Pham walked out of the explosion. His clothes were severely damaged. It was a pity; clothes worth a few dozen yuan were destroyed just like that. There was an indescribable sadness.

He didn't continue to think about these things.

"He set up a destructive trap here. Is it to guard against zombies?"

Lam Pham guessed that it should be like this.

The mysterious survivor hiding in the dark had his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost. Even after all that, he could still walk out of the explosion.

How was that possible?

He quickly climbed to the rooftop. Standing on the rooftop, he kept attacking.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Streaks of arrows flew through the air. But in his eyes, that person actually blocked all his arrows. He was so shocked that he was speechless.

Lam Pham could understand the other party's mentality at this moment. He must be very nervous. It was normal to be wary of strangers. After all, the apocalypse was like this, like an abyss's furnace. Anyone who entered such a furnace would be forged until not even a scrap was left.

"Don't be afraid. I'm Lam Pham from Hoang City's Sunshine Shelter. I have no ill intentions towards you. I'm here to have a friendly chat with you."

He shouted loudly.

But the other party still ignored him.

He just kept shooting arrows at him.

Soon.

He arrived at the high-rise building where the other party was located and walked inside.

Now, the mysterious survivor on the rooftop had a clearly flustered expression. The other party had disappeared from his sight and had reached the building he was in.

He had naturally heard what the other party said.

He wouldn't believe it.

Dammit.

People in the apocalypse now were all cruel liars.

Specializing in deceiving living people.

It's not like he had never seen it before. If he believed just one sentence, he would have died long ago.

In the corner was a rope slide that had been prepared beforehand, tied to a sturdy device. Then he tied himself and prepared to slide down from the rooftop.

He would absolutely not have any contact with the other party.

To be able to survive the trap he set showed that the other party was very terrifying. If they really met, he was afraid he wouldn't even know how he died.

Looking down, the height was very high, putting great pressure on one's mind.

If he had a fear of heights, he would have been scared until his legs turned to jelly long ago.

Prepared.

He went over the rooftop, his legs bent, using the rebound force from the wall to descend, borrowing the force, descending, and repeating it over and over.

After a while.

His hands landed on the ground, his feet on the ground. He had a feeling of being on solid ground. He untied the rope on his body and quickly moved away from the high-rise building. Looking back, he saw a figure appear on the rooftop.

"Idiot."

The mysterious survivor grinned, revealing a smug smile.

You climbed up, I've already come down.

You want to catch me? You must be dreaming.

Although it was a pity to give up this safe passage that had been arranged for a long time, as long as he was alive, there was still hope. If he didn't even have his life, then there would be nothing left.

But soon...

Something that would shock him for a lifetime happened.

The person standing on the rooftop actually jumped directly from the rooftop. The figure falling in the air made him stand there dumbfounded.

The sound of landing.

The other party walked towards him.

Thump!

He was so scared that he sat down on the ground, paralyzed. His throat moved, his eyes filled with panic. He quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist and pointed it at Lam Pham, as if saying, "If you dare to come closer, I'll stab you to death."

Clink!

Lam Pham stepped forward and grabbed the other party's dagger with his hand, his face smiling.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions."

The other party looked at the hand grabbing the dagger, then at Lam Pham's face. His pale face didn't change at all, still extremely gloomy.

Seeing the other party's dumbfounded look, to be honest, Lam Pham was really a bit puzzled.

"Have you not seen the 'Zombie Illustrated Handbook'?"

It had been distributed until now.

And Rooftop City was far from Hoang City, but not that far. It shouldn't be possible.

The other party still didn't answer.

Lam Pham said in a gentle voice, "Really, don't be afraid. My name is Lam Pham. I'm from Hoang City. There's a shelter there, with many people living in it. I came out to clean up zombies. Please believe me, I would never lie to you."

"After all, you saw it just now. My ability is probably beyond your imagination. If I really had ill intentions towards you, you wouldn't be alive."

Perhaps what Lam Pham said did have some truth to it.

The other party's expression relaxed a lot. His originally slow breathing started to quicken to relax his previous tension.

"My name is Hua Duong."

"Hua Duong, hello."

"Hello."

Lam Pham pulled him up and intimately patted the dust off his body. Strangers, meeting for the first time, showing a little warmth could make the other party feel at ease.

In Lam Pham's eyes, this survivor named Hua Duong he had just met was like a frightened animal. Even with his warmth enveloping him, he was still trembling.

It was clear that during this period, he must have gone through some very dark days.

This had created a huge sense of oppression in his heart.

To walk out of this sense of oppression would require a certain amount of time for treatment.
