Lam Pham continued to walk forward.
A few more days passed.
This day finally arrived.
Lam Pham carried a Screamer-type zombie in his hand, clearing wave after wave of zombies. The number of zombies attracted by the Screamer-type zombie's voice was already far less than before.
This indicated that the number of zombies in Hoang City had truly reached an extreme low.
Lam Pham carried the Screamer-type zombie in one hand and held a map in the other, carefully looking at the map. There were densely packed red circles on the map. These red circles represented the places he had been.
"Is it cleaned up?"
Lam Pham thought in his heart.
He conveniently checked the interface.
[Name]: Lam Pham.
[Strength]: 6158620. (Infinite)
[Stamina]: 5046370. (Infinite)
[Speed]: 4926630. (Infinite)
[Points]: 3.
"Over fifteen million points. All the zombies in Hoang City should have been completely wiped out."
Hoang City's population was there. At the same time, survivors existed. Many also died accidentally when the apocalypse broke out, and some survivors, unable to wait for rescue, died in despair in their hiding places.
He looked at the listless Screamer-type zombie in his hand and directly crushed its head.
Dusk, twilight descended.
He arrived at the last stretch of road in Hoang City. Ahead was the Hoang City prison, located on the outskirts of Hoang City.
Lam Pham looked up and met the eyes of the survivors patrolling the prison.
The two sides just looked at each other like that.
"Lam... Lam Pham."
"Yes, it's me."
Lam Pham knew the other party must have read the "Zombie Illustrated Guide" and clearly knew who he was.
Before he could speak, he saw this survivor running towards the inside of the prison, shouting wildly as he ran, "Lam Pham from Sunshine Shelter is here..."
Lam Pham didn't jump over the wall but waited at the iron gate.
When Ha Minh Hien and the others heard Lam Pham had arrived, they didn't show too much shock. Instead, they appeared very calm, as if they had expected such a thing to happen one day.
"Brother Ha, should we go take a look?"
A survivor asked.
Ha Minh Hien looked at everyone and nodded, "Let's go take a look."
Coming outside, he didn't see Lam Pham's figure, which made Ha Minh Hien look extremely puzzled. Where on earth had this person gone?
Clang clang!
A crisp sound came.
It was the sound of knocking on the door.
Ha Minh Hien pursed his lips, his eyes filled with bewilderment. He really hadn't expected the other party to not jump in, but to knock on the gate.
So polite?
He opened the prison gate and unexpectedly saw Lam Pham standing at the entrance, smiling and looking at him.
"Long time no see."
Lam Pham proactively greeted him.
He could see that Ha Minh Hien's impression of him couldn't be said to be bad, just a feeling of distance.
This was a very normal situation; no one dared to say they were liked by everyone.
Ha Minh Hien forced a smile, "Is there anything?"
The surrounding survivors all stood beside Ha Minh Hien, curiously looking at Lam Pham. Although they hadn't had contact with Lam Pham, they knew such a person existed in Hoang City. After all, they had read the "Zombie Illustrated Guide."
Lam Pham smiled and said: "Nothing much, just that, as you know, I've been committed to cleaning up the zombies in Hoang City. This is my last stop. What I want to say is... all the zombies in the entire Hoang City should have been cleaned up by me now."
As he finished speaking.
Everyone stared, as if they had seen a ghost.
Ha Minh Hien: ...?
Phung Kiet: ...?
Mieu Yen and her brother stared foolishly at Lam Pham.
"You said there are no more zombies in Hoang City?" Ha Minh Hien couldn't help but ask. For him, this was like a daydream. Who would believe such a thing? He wasn't sure exactly how many zombies there were in Hoang City, but the only thing he could be sure of was that there were absolutely many.
Although he had always known Lam Pham was cleaning up the zombies in Hoang City.
But he had never thought such a day would come.
Lam Pham nodded, "Yes, perhaps. I'll patrol around for a while recently."
At this moment, everyone at the scene looked extremely excited, with an indescribable emotion and excitement. For them, the worst thing in the apocalypse was the zombies.
Zombies were like demons, always occupying their hearts.
Now, hearing that Hoang City might have no zombies, they looked at each other, holding each other's hands.
"Is it really gone?"
"This isn't deceiving us, is it?"
"I haven't been out for a long time; I don't even know what the situation outside is like."
Lam Pham looked at this group of people who had heard the good news, their faces full of excitement, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Hadn't he been working hard to clear out the zombies just to see such smiling faces?
He had never thought of himself as a savior.
Just that he had some ability.
If he had consistently achieved nothing, he might have felt a bit sorry for this kind of ability.
The responsibility of rebuilding Hoang City's prosperity couldn't be done by him alone; it required everyone's joint efforts. And the only thing he could do was to eliminate the zombies hindering the rebuilding of Hoang City's prosperity.
"Everyone, Hoang City is truly safe. In the future, everyone can walk freely in Hoang City just like normal, without worrying or being scared, without thinking about what the future will be like. Everything will develop in a good direction."
Lam Pham said softly.
Ha Minh Hien said: "You came here, do you want to take them to the Sunshine Shelter?"
Lam Pham looked at the people at the scene, saw the light of hope appearing in their eyes, and said: "Yes, rebuilding Hoang City relies on everyone's efforts. I can't do it alone. Therefore, I want to invite everyone to the Sunshine Shelter, to unite and face the apocalypse."
This was one of his few group invitations.
A very strange situation. He had met many, many groups of survivors, and the situations among them varied. However, the survivors in the prison gave him a very good feeling.
The change in human nature in the apocalypse was not due to environmental pressure, but whether one wanted to change oneself. As long as one wanted to change, no matter what kind of environment, it couldn't be stopped.
Hearing Lam Pham's words, Ha Minh Hien looked at the people beside him. Since entering the prison, they had always lived together, from Tran Chi Dung's initial hegemony, to Ton Nang later, and then to him.
After experiencing so many things, his personality and mentality had quietly changed.
He wasn't as much of a keyboard warrior as before, nor as selfish. Occasionally, he could think for others. Perhaps it was because he had seen too much helplessness and viciousness that he began to reflect on his own mentality and personality.
He could see the longing radiating from everyone's eyes.
That was the longing for a beautiful future.
While Ha Minh Hien was looking at the group, they were also cautiously looking at Ha Minh Hien.
Early on during this period, Ha Minh Hien had taken great care of them. Many times, it could even be said to be a life-saving grace. When going out to find supplies, some people were naturally not cut out for it. Walking on the street, with their feet on the ground, their legs would tremble with fear.
If they encountered zombies, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
So they were grateful to Ha Minh Hien. If Ha Minh Hien didn't want to go, they might not go back either. After all, such an action seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Alright, then you can take them. I'm tired of staying here too. I want to go back and see my home. That's my life's work," Ha Minh Hien said.
He thought of his house with its heavy industrial style.
"Brother Ha."
"Brother Ha..."
The group looked at Ha Minh Hien. They hadn't expected Ha Minh Hien to want to leave the prison, not to go to the Sunshine Shelter, but to return to his own room. This was something they hadn't expected.
Ha Minh Hien waved his hand and said: "It's fate that we all met, but fate also has an end. I, Ha Minh Hien, have never wronged myself. I don't want to go to the Sunshine Shelter, and you don't need to either. You go there and live a good life. He is reliable."
Perhaps Ha Minh Hien was really petty and always liked to hold grudges, but under the baptism of the apocalypse, he had undergone an earth-shattering change compared to his former self.
Mieu Dich grabbed Ha Minh Hien's sleeve, "Brother Minh Hien, I don't want to be separated from you."
Ha Minh Hien patted his head, "You go with your sister. What are you following me for? I have my own life. I've always disliked people following me; it's annoying."
Lam Pham looked at the current situation. It wasn't that he only remembered the former Ha Minh Hien, but that the former Ha Minh Hien had left too deep an impression on him. Truly, even a dog would dislike a dog.
But now, he really hadn't expected everyone at the scene to show a kind of friendliness towards Ha Minh Hien, even willingness to give up the idea of going to the Sunshine Shelter for his sake.
Although it wasn't said.
But it could be seen.
Being liked by everyone already showed that Ha Minh Hien had done good things for everyone.
Lam Pham sighed in his heart. The apocalypse was indeed terrible, but it could also change people. It could turn good people from the past into terrifying people, and it could also turn people who were once disliked into people who were loved and respected.
This kind of change couldn't be attributed solely to the darkness of the apocalypse; it could only be said that some people had unearthed their former, uncared-for speed in the darkness.
Lam Pham said: "Have you decided? The Sunshine Shelter is very large. Actually, if you don't want to have too much contact with me, we might not necessarily meet."
Ha Minh Hien looked at Lam Pham, "Yes, I want to go home. I want to go back to my own home."
"Alright then."
Lam Pham didn't try to keep him much. Everyone had their own thoughts. He hoped the other person could live well in the apocalypse.
