Ton Nang observed his surroundings and compared them to the Hoang City prison in his mind. There was still a gap between the two.
Little Ha followed beside Ton Nang, wagging its tail, also looking at the unfamiliar environment.
Survivors not far away looked at Ton Nang.
The children stood in the distance, peeking around the corner of the wall, seemingly very wary of Ton Nang, this newcomer.
"This is our shelter. It's very safe here," Truong Vien said.
Ton Nang said: "Very good."
At this time, a strong man walked over, "Little Vien, you're back."
"Brother Han, we're back," Truong Vien replied.
"This is?"
"Brother Han, his name is Ton Nang. We were able to come back thanks to his help. If it weren't for his appearance, we might have really died outside."
Truong Vien recounted the entire encounter at that time.
Brother Han was also terrified upon hearing it. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine that the situation at that time must have been very dangerous.
"This is Brother Han, Vuong Han," Truong Vien introduced.
Ton Nang said: "Hello."
Brother Han grabbed Ton Nang's hand and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you so much."
Ton Nang smiled and impassively withdrew his hand. He felt that such actions made him very uncomfortable.
"Brother Ton Nang, where are you planning to go all by yourself?" Vuong Han asked curiously.
Ton Nang said: "No destination, just walking around and taking a look."
"Oh, I admire your courage. It's too dangerous outside now. Those zombies are simply terrifying. If Brother Ton Nang doesn't want to go, you can stay here." Vuong Han extended an invitation to Ton Nang.
Ton Nang smiled and said: "We'll see."
Nightfall.
Cat City Prison was extremely quiet.
Ton Nang, alone in his room, unfolded a piece of paper in his hand. This was slipped into a steamed bun during dinner. When he bit into it, he impassively held it in his mouth.
"Hurry, danger."
On the piece of paper, there were only these four words.
He thought, to be able to put a piece of paper into a steamed bun, it must have been placed by the person who packed them.
"Dangerous prison. The apocalypse is truly full of dangers everywhere."
Ton Nang stood up, walked to the door, paused for a moment, then opened the door and walked down the dim corridor, heading forward.
In a room, several survivors were gathered together.
"Brother Han, are we not making a move tonight?" Truong Vien asked.
Vuong Han said: "No, we can't make a move. You all said it, he can even kill strength-type zombies. He must be an Awakened. Although we have guns, we still have to be careful when facing Awakened ones. Anyway, they've already been notified over there. Tomorrow, we'll just wait for them to come and deal with it."
Truong Vien sneered, "I didn't expect heaven to really take care of us. During the day, I was really scared to death, thought I was going to die. I didn't expect to be rescued. I really want to see his desperate look when he knows the truth."
The other survivors all let out low, dark chuckles.
Vuong Han fiddled with the satellite phone in his hand, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.
Suddenly.
A survivor ran in.
"Brother... Brother Han, that guy is not in his room."
Swish!
Everyone stood up, their expressions extremely solemn.
Vuong Han waved his hand, "Find him for me."
Ton Nang looked at the people imprisoned in cell after cell, his expression extremely strange. He clearly hadn't expected that people would be imprisoned here.
Moreover, their appearance was very haggard.
Some were lying on hard iron plates, shivering, as if sick.
Some were huddled in corners, their desperate eyes looking at the iron bars.
Ton Nang's arrival didn't attract the attention of the people here. For them, they were already imprisoned here; what else was there to desire?
Ton Nang walked and looked, until he passed a cell and saw a relatively reliable middle-aged man. Although he looked a bit disheveled.
But his eyes revealed a light of resistance.
"How did you guys get locked up here?" Ton Nang asked.
The middle-aged man looked up at Ton Nang, said nothing, and still maintained his original posture.
Ton Nang said: "I just arrived here today."
His meaning was very clear: "I'm not one of them, don't treat me as one of them."
Sure enough, as he said these words.
This middle-aged man spoke.
"You just arrived?"
"Yes, just arrived. They encountered danger outside, and I rescued them and they invited me here. What's your situation?"
The middle-aged man said: "It's a long story. Some time ago, about half a month ago, we picked up a 'Zombie Illustrated Guide' outside. It recorded some content. At that time, we knew about the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter. We proposed to find a way to go there, but Vuong Han refused, saying the journey was long and no one knew if this place still existed."
"We had a fierce argument, and in the end, he successfully persuaded us. We didn't go and stayed here."
"But after some more time, we picked up a satellite phone outside again, also sent out by the Sunshine Shelter. I wanted to call and inquire about the situation. If possible, we wanted to go over there."
"But in the end..."
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking.
Ton Nang continued: "In the end, he couldn't bear to part with his status and power here, so he locked up all of you who wanted to leave."
"Yes, how did you know?"
Ton Nang smiled and said: "I've met too many people greedy for power. They always appear smiling on the outside, but the desire for power hidden deep within their eyes is hard to escape. Also, when I came, I saw those children hiding in corners. They don't look like they're living in a sheltered environment."
Thump thump thump!
The sound of footsteps came.
"Oh dear, Brother Ton Nang, why did you come here? It's very impolite to wander around without the owner's permission."
Vuong Han led his men over. When he saw Ton Nang here, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Ton Nang turned around.
Bang!
Blood blossomed from Ton Nang's chest. The moment Ton Nang turned around, Vuong Han decisively opened fire. He knew Ton Nang was an Awakened. Knowing too much would surely lead to trouble.
When he was idle before, he often read novels on his mobile phone and frequently left messages in the chapter comments.
"This villain talks too much; he'll live for at most one chapter."
In his heart, when encountering things, one had to be decisive. One shot to finish off the opponent, no more words needed.
As the gunshot rang out, the survivors imprisoned in the cells all showed despair. When they learned that the other party was not one of Vuong Han's men, they were all full of hope, thinking they could be released. Who would have thought that just as hope appeared, despair would follow?
"What a pity."
Vuong Han looked at Ton Nang, who had fallen to the ground, and shook his head helplessly, "Be good and stay in your room. You had to come out and wander around. You brought this upon yourself."
Then he looked at the middle-aged man locked in the cell.
"Ly Dieu, did you feel just now that someone could save you? Stop dreaming. If it weren't for the fact that you still have some value, you would have been killed long ago. Now that this guy is dead, no matter what, he definitely can't die in vain. Later, I'll take him to the kitchen and make you a pot of meat soup. Whether you eat it or not doesn't matter; anyway, you won't get any other food."
Vuong Han said with a smile.
"You're crazy!" Ly Dieu cursed angrily, grabbing the iron bars with both hands and shaking them frantically, "You guys are simply sick."
"Heh," Vuong Han sneered. "Curse all you want. Do you think you're very smart? The Sunshine Shelter is truly the best. Here, I call the shots."
How could Vuong Han agree to let them call the Sunshine Shelter?
He wanted to keep this place firmly in his grasp, become the leader here, and gain the support of many people in the apocalypse. He knew that in this era, only ruthlessness could secure a foothold.
Kindness was an extremely foolish act.
Ly Dieu knew Vuong Han had completely gone mad, not the Vuong Han he used to be.
When they first came here, everyone's common goal was to unite and jointly resist the apocalypse. But who would have thought that Vuong Han's personality would suddenly change?
During this period of imprisonment, Ly Dieu had been thinking about things. Could the apocalypse really cause such a huge change in a person?
At this time.
Vuong Han walked towards the iron bars, paying no attention to Ton Nang, who had fallen to the ground dead. So what if he was an Awakened? In the end, he was still mortal flesh. With the appearance of firearms, what good was martial arts?
One shot and you're gone.
Others said, "This punch of mine has twenty years of skill. Can you block it?"
He still wanted to say, "I just learned firearms. What do you have?"
Just then, Ton Nang, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, did a carp flip, and sprang up. His movements were fast and decisive. He grabbed Vuong Han's head with both hands, and with a "crack," directly twisted it.
Then, he snatched the gun from his hand and aimed it at the bewildered survivors.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Continuous shots, until only Truong Vien was left, and the gun was out of bullets.
