Early morning!
"Brother Hang, sorry to trouble you for a moment. This is the latest 'Zombie Illustrated Guide' 3.0, with some revised and added content."
This was a brand new version he had painstakingly revised overnight.
The revised content wasn't much; it was mainly revisions in terms of details.
For example, additions: second-generation zombies appearing, crystal color not high, but able to rely on the mother body's aura talent to command zombies with higher crystal colors than itself.
His previous investigations were indeed somewhat like a frog in a well, not comprehensive enough.
Comprehensive information needed to be continuously perfected during investigation.
In the future, he understood that he couldn't underestimate any seemingly simple zombie. No one could say for sure whether it was a second-generation zombie.
Thinking about this situation also felt extremely tragic.
Some zombies feared death and painstakingly evolved, finally evolving into super powerful zombies. Who would have thought that second-generation zombies would appear, trampling their painstaking efforts as worthless.
Born a commoner, relying on one's own efforts to become an evolved zombie, but because the other party was a second-generation zombie, one had to obey the other's orders. Just thinking about it felt extremely miserable.
Co Hang took the illustrated guide and flipped through it. The content within could be said to be memorized by heart. Where things were added or removed, he could tell at a glance.
"Little Pham, the two types of zombies you added... feel extremely terrifying," Co Hang saw the newly added content and couldn't help but comment. The first time he saw the introduction, he already felt it wasn't simple.
Lam Pham said: "Yes, so Hoang City is safe, but outside doesn't mean it's safe. There are still many terrifying, unimaginable zombies that we need to face."
Co Hang said: "Oh right, the engineers need steel bars, cement, and iron plates. I've already arranged for people to go into the city to purchase them. Once the two bridges are sealed, Hoang City will be truly and completely safe."
This project couldn't be solved casually.
Even if the military wanted to capture a city, the price required would be unimaginable. And when facing various evolved zombies, whether the weapons were advanced or not was no longer the most crucial point.
Previously, Captain Loi and so many others were fully armed, with tanks and armored vehicles, but the final result was truly tragic. Out of more than ten thousand people, only so few remained. If they hadn't retreated decisively, they would probably have all perished among the zombies.
Under the protection of the steel torrent, ordinary zombies were like tofu in their eyes, easily crushed. Even with just one tank, as long as there was enough fuel, all the ordinary zombies in Hoang City could be crushed into meat patties by one tank.
One should not underestimate the power of human technology.
But if it were only ordinary zombies, it would be fine. Unfortunately... evolved zombies existed among the zombies. At the very beginning of the apocalypse, strength-type zombies appeared. These zombies, to the living, were terrifying existences that could not be defeated.
Moreover, when Captain Loi and the others thought of cleaning up the city, the zombies had already undergone the first or even second wave of evolution. Ordinary evolved zombies were no longer the most terrifying.
There were also Tyrant Zombies, hybrid types, fusion types, and so on.
These zombies couldn't be easily pushed through by being fully armed or by sheer numbers.
Lam Pham said: "Brother Hang, you go ahead and get busy. I'll go find other things. There have been quite a few things recently. I'll look around the city first, just in case there are any fish that slipped through the net."
"Okay, good."
Co Hang nodded.
At this time.
Old Chung and the others had already driven the steel behemoth into the city to patrol.
Chuc Thanh had been observing the surroundings. His ability at this moment was truly the strongest, able to see any hidden zombie, and the range was already very wide.
At this time.
Chuc Thanh, who had been searching for a long time without finding any zombies, suddenly saw zombie information, "Wait, there's a zombie in that building."
Everyone heard and suddenly stopped the car.
"There really is. What kind of zombie is it, and how many?" Old Chung asked.
Chuc Thanh said: "One, just one ordinary zombie."
Everyone, who was already prepared, heard there was only one zombie, and it was an ordinary zombie. In an instant, they didn't have much interest, but what needed to be cleaned up still had to be cleaned up. This was something that had to be done.
"Go, let's go in together."
Old Chung wondered why this ordinary zombie was still inside. Was it because its legs were crippled, and it could only stay in a wheelchair, thinking of going outside to bite others, but its legs couldn't move?
They entered this building.
On the staircase landing, they saw a female corpse in pajamas. Chuc Thanh made a noise, in case it was a zombie pretending to sleep, and would frantically bite when they approached.
This kind of situation happened frequently.
Diep Thien checked, "It's alright, she's dead. Her neck is broken. She wasn't bitten to death by a zombie. I remember she must have been too flustered when going downstairs during the apocalypse, accidentally missed a step, and broke her neck."
Dong Giai said: "There should be quite a few situations like this. Many, many survivors didn't die tragically at the hands of zombies, but died in various accidents."
Chuc Thanh led them to an anti-theft door and pointed, "It's inside here."
"I'll do it."
Old Chung, wearing battle armor, didn't hesitate. His iron fist struck out. With a bang, he directly punched through the anti-theft door, then reached his hand in and opened the lock from the inside.
"Impressive," Chuc Thanh was still very envious.
Even if he wore battle armor and wanted to punch through an anti-theft door, it would take several attempts. He definitely couldn't do it as coolly as Old Chung.
Everyone entered the house.
The air was filled with the smell of a place uninhabited for a long time, and dust was everywhere.
"Meow meow…"
The roar of a zombie came from the bedroom.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked at each other. The door wasn't closed. Logically, the sound of him breaking the door should have been enough to attract the zombie out. Why was the zombie still inside and not coming out?
"Be careful, I'll block the front."
Old Chung, holding his shield, walked towards the dark bedroom. Even though Chuc Thanh said it was just an ordinary zombie, hearing the sound and it not coming out, there might be a problem.
For everyone's safety, he couldn't be careless.
He cautiously entered the bedroom and could vaguely see a figure lying on the bed. However, the drawn curtains blocked the sunlight, making it impossible to see what it was.
He pulled open the curtains.
The scene instantly became awkward.
Dong Giai and Diep Thien's mouths were agape, their expressions extremely surprised.
"This..."
Lying on the bed was a male zombie. His hands were handcuffed to the iron railings of the headboard, and his legs were similarly cuffed to the foot of the bed. He was also blindfolded.
His entire body was bare, with only underwear covering him.
Chuc Thanh pondered, "I seem to understand something. The woman in pajamas we saw on the stairs should be a couple with him. Perhaps they were playing a rather interesting game at home, and then this man turned into a zombie, scaring that woman into fleeing, and she accidentally fell to her death on the stairs over there."
Old Chung nodded, "Yes, your analysis is correct. These two were playing quite a wild game."
Chuc Thanh said: "Old Chung, have you ever had such an experience?"
Old Chung: ...?
"Hey, hey, can you pay attention to the image? We're still here." Dong Giai glanced at them, then returned to the bedside. The straight saber in her hand directly pierced the zombie's head.
Viscous blood stained the bedsheets red.
"He is happier than many people. At least he could die in his own home."
Diep Thien looked at the photo hanging on the wall above the bed. It was a wedding photo. The two people in the photo were smiling happily. Perhaps at the moment the photo was taken, they were thinking about a beautiful future. Unfortunately, this future was not what they had imagined.
Chuc Thanh said: "If Brother Lam saw this kind of situation, I think, based on Brother Lam's personality, he would definitely move that woman back into the house and let her lie beside the man."
Dong Giai patted Chuc Thanh's shoulder, "Yes, it's indeed like that. But Brother Lam isn't here, so you can inherit Brother Lam's will."
Chuc Thanh: ...
