Night.
Even though it was already dark, lights were still flashing outside.
Chu Duong and the others were still working, continuing to search for crystals among the zombies. These crystals were all strategic materials, and for Awakened ones, they were essential items.
Lam Pham wanted to go take a look, but he was stopped by them. They said plainly that he had worked too hard and should rest well; these trivial matters could just be left to them.
He could only accept this.
Of course, he also did one thing, which was to dig a large pit in the nearby wasteland, enough to bury countless zombies.
Looking at the interface, he began to add points.
[Name]: Lam Pham.
[Strength]: 4025680. (Infinite)
[Stamina]: 2295280. (Infinite)
[Speed]: 1926760. (Infinite)
[Points]: 0.
After finishing adding points.
Lam Pham found it somewhat difficult to grasp his own situation.
Clenching his fists tightly, he could feel the endless power contained within his body.
"The number of zombies during the day truly surpassed my imagination; it really exceeded a million. That zombie's ability was even more domineering than I imagined."
"No, it wasn't the zombie whose head I twisted off, but the zombie behind the scenes. Its existence might truly be a threat to me."
"To summon over a million zombies, how terrifying must that strength be? Perhaps the me now is still not the most formidable."
Lam Pham always thought that as long as he had enough strength, it would be fine.
But now...
He found that this strength might really be a bit insufficient.
"The Duong Quang shelter is a place I absolutely must protect."
"I must clean up the zombies in Hoang City."
"The zombies in this country, I also have to speed up the cleanup. To rebuild civilization, dangers must be eliminated."
Lam Pham glanced at the sleeping Manh Manh.
Then he poured a cup of tea, sat on the balcony, and looked at the bustling scene outside. Everyone's enthusiasm had been mobilized.
Early morning.
Outside the iron fence.
Lam Pham hadn't expected the changes overnight to be so great. A large area before him had been cleaned very thoroughly. Although there were still many in the distance, compared to yesterday, the change was truly immense.
He saw Ha Khanh standing among the corpses in the distance, moving bodies. He carried a bag in his hand and also held a knife, as if seeing the head of an evolved zombie. He directly raised his hand and cut down, sliced open the head, found the crystal, and happily put it in his bag.
He also saw Chu Duong searching among the zombies, occasionally pulling out a crystal, then raising his head and looking towards Ha Khanh's side.
"They are really earnest. Indeed, in the apocalypse, people are exceptionally diligent. Ha Khanh used to be a wealthy man, yet he can be like this. It truly makes one admire him."
Lam Pham muttered to himself.
Forklifts, one after another, carried zombie limbs, heading towards the deep pit not far away.
"If it's said that I am protecting this place, it's better to say that everyone is helping me fulfill the wish in my heart."
His wish was to rebuild the prosperity of Hoang City.
This kind of wish cannot be completed by one person alone; it requires the joint efforts of many people.
Lam Pham knew he was very formidable, but could being formidable complete his wish?
That was definitely not possible.
Just talking about clearing the pile of zombies before him, he really could clear them. But after clearing the zombies, the buildings before him would also be completely destroyed. This wasn't rebuilding, but destroying.
Therefore, he never thought he played a significant role in the process of rebuilding prosperity. His only role might be to clear zombies, providing a relatively safe environment for various skilled and diligent survivors.
Lam Pham often thought, what exactly did he understand?
Thinking it over and over, perhaps he only knew how to draw.
"Old Chung."
Lam Pham waved at Old Chung. Old Chung walked towards this side, "There are too many zombies. Cleaning them up is a bit slow. According to the current situation, it might take some time. But the machinery is already operating. Under non-stop conditions, it won't be slow."
"Did you rest?" Lam Pham asked.
"No, I've been busy since yesterday. It's okay, I'm in very good spirits."
"Old Chung, let everyone who hasn't rested go rest first. Take turns. It's okay, no rush."
"It's okay, it's okay." Old Chung waved his hand, then pointed into the distance, "Look who's over there."
Following the direction Old Chung pointed.
He was violently startled. That figure made him somewhat not expect it.
"Van Van..."
Old Chung said: "Yes, it's Van Van. She came with her father this morning. I wanted to stop her, afraid the scene would scare the child. But I didn't expect, ah, this Van Van can't be viewed with a child's eyes. Her thoughts, her ideas, during this period, seem to have undergone an earth-shattering change, actually becoming as mature as an adult."
"And her ability, look, psionic control, corpses naturally float up, even coagulated blood can be controlled."
Lam Pham looked at the distance in shock. Under Van Van's control, those severed limbs floated up and were accurately delivered into the trash can. Such a situation made him extremely astonished.
Without using crystals, Van Van's psionic power had improved.
And what Old Chung had just said...
Adult maturity?
That was still a child.
Old Chung said: "Lam Pham, you said that when we adults are not all dead, it's not yet the children's turn to face zombies. But now I feel Van Van is truly a special case. I've always suspected that her changes should be related to her own abilities. Han Suong said that Van Van's learning ability is very strong, unforgettable after seeing it once. Perhaps she should be properly nurtured."
Lam Pham pondered, "What you said might be right. If I didn't exist, Van Van might be the hope of humanity."
Old Chung smiled and shook his head, "Any living person is irreplaceable. And your existence, just as all survivors think, you are the bright lamp in their hearts. When Diep Thien and I were facing death, you appeared before us, pulled us out from death, and even brought us here, letting us see more people full of hope."
These words from Old Chung made Lam Pham a bit embarrassed.
"Exaggerated."
"No, not exaggerated at all. Facts are forever facts."
