Hoang City, Sunshine Shelter.
"Brother Lam, good morning."
Nhan Ny Ny, with a face full of smiles, greeted Lam Pham. She had been protected so well that she had almost forgotten it was the apocalypse.
"Good morning."
Lam Pham smiled back.
Life was just this beautiful. Every day when you woke up, there would surely be people greeting each other, proving that there were still many people alive.
"Brother Lam, your hair is a bit long, especially on the sides. Do you want me to trim it for you?" Nhan Ny Ny liked being with Lam Pham. It could be said to be admiration, or it could be said that being by Lam Pham's side gave her a sense of security.
Lam Pham touched his sideburns; the amount of hair was indeed quite a lot.
He had been busy during this period and hadn't paid much attention to his personal image.
"Okay, I'll trouble you."
"What's the trouble in that? Wait for me."
Nhan Ny Ny cheerfully went upstairs to get her tools.
Lam Pham came to the old men's door and said with a smile, "She knows how to cut hair? I didn't know."
"She learned it. Cutting hair isn't that difficult," Old Man Vuong said with a smile.
Having lived to this age, what couldn't he see through? From his observation, Little Nhan had started to change her strategy. Chasing someone didn't necessarily mean clinging to them; you could approach from the side.
Old Man Chu said, "How's Old Ha's situation recently?"
Lam Pham said, "I don't know, but Professor Ha's side might be focusing their research on battle armor. The second-generation battle armor is taking shape, which means our overall strength has once again been improved."
Don't look at the two old men as if they were just enjoying the scenery all day. In fact, they were quite concerned about some matters.
Soon, Nhan Ny Ny came down hurriedly with her toolbox.
The tools were still very complete. Except for the surrounding environment not being a barbershop, the rest of the process was exactly the same. Lam Pham sat there, bent over, and Nhan Ny Ny took a basin, filled it with warm water, and started by washing Lam Pham's hair.
"To have a big internet celebrity like you wash my hair, I really didn't expect it..." Lam Pham said with a smile.
Nhan Ny Ny said, "What internet celebrity or not? I'm just a dance teacher in the students' hearts now."
Only in such a life did Lam Pham feel that having a shelter in the apocalypse was truly a happy thing.
All along, Lam Pham had focused his energy on hunting zombies.
He paid little attention to the situation in the shelter.
He usually only learned about what had happened in the shelter recently after hearing it from others.
"What? Lao Chung is already with Tu Dinh?" Lam Pham, hearing the gossip, was very shocked. Goodness, Lao Chung had hidden it so well. He had never mentioned it in front of him.
Nhan Ny Ny smiled and said, "Yes. If someone hadn't seen it, I think Lao Chung would have hidden it for a long time."
Lam Pham said, "Very good. Lao Chung has found love in the apocalypse. He probably never even thought about it himself." For some survivors, the apocalypse was very terrifying.
But for the people living in the Sunshine Shelter, they did what they had to do. Love and life went hand in hand. As long as they liked each other, they could succeed.
As the facilities of the Sunshine Shelter became more and more complete and started to operate slowly, giving birth would no longer be a matter of life and death, and there would be stable and safe guarantees.
After having a stable living environment, the next thing to consider was all kinds of public facilities.
Repairing on the existing basis was not a difficult matter.
Snip!
Snip!
Nhan Ny Ny's skills might be a bit clumsy, but she was very serious. Perhaps for someone who was more important in her heart, anyone would take it to heart.
The two old men praised, "Little Nhan, after you're done with Little Pham, help me with mine too."
"Okay, no problem," Nhan Ny Ny replied with a smile.
A moment later.
Lam Pham looked in the mirror, looking left and right, very carefully.
"It's really good. With such skills, you could open a shop."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Nhan Ny Ny was a little shy from the praise. Of course, she looked shy, but in her heart, she was overjoyed. Anyone liked to be praised by the person they liked.
Just a simple sentence of praise.
Could at least make her happy for a few days.
Rumble!
Just then.
The sky roared, and thunder echoed in the air. Unseen green clouds drifted over from the distance.
"The clouds are green?" Lam Pham looked very shocked, as if he had seen a ghost. At least in his knowledge, there shouldn't be such clouds.
Old Man Vuong said, "It's going to rain again. Is this the thunderstorm that can awaken abilities?"
Lam Pham said, "I don't know. This is the first time I've seen such clouds."
As the thunder rumbled, the survivors in the shelter all looked at the sky curiously. Some were cheering excitedly, and their voices could be heard from afar.
"A thunderstorm! This is the thunderstorm that can awaken abilities!"
"It's finally here again. This time, it should be my turn no matter what."
"Whatever..."
In the Sunshine Shelter, there was no class system. There were no special privileges just because someone was an Awakener. Everyone was silently contributing to making the shelter better.
Some people wanted to become Awakeners because they wanted to follow the Awakener team out to hunt zombies.
They were always listening to the stories of the returning Awakeners about what happened outside, and their blood boiled with excitement. They so wanted to become a part of it, wearing the second-generation battle armor and furiously chopping off zombie heads.
If we were to talk about who in the Sunshine Shelter wanted to become an Awakener the most, there were only two.
Co Hang.
Ha Khanh.
At this moment, on the rooftop.
Co Hang looked up at the green clouds covering the sky, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes revealed a longing, a longing to become an Awakener.
"We've been waiting for this day for a long time. Let me become an Awakener. I'm willing to bear more responsibility."
He looked at the sky and roared in his heart.
He had even prepared to stand under the thunderstorm, take off his clothes, and fully welcome the thunderstorm, letting the rain wash his body, making every cell in his body active.
"These clouds look a bit strange."
Co Hang was a little afraid of the green clouds. Although he hadn't become an Awakener, he had seen thunderstorms before. They were just normal thunderstorms with dark clouds. How could there be a situation like this?
His heart hesitated.
"Forget it, I'd better stay at home."
Co Hang thought about it and decided to just watch from inside his house. There was no need to be in an unknown thunderstorm. What if something went wrong?
Having figured this out, Co Hang hurriedly left and then sent a message in the group chat.
[The color of the clouds in this thunderstorm is a bit strange. It's best to stay at home and not risk standing in the rain.]
The discussion in the group was very intense.
Everyone was thinking about the coming thunderstorm and who would awaken.
But it was clearly early morning, yet the sky was already a sheet of green, giving off a gloomy and strange feeling that made people feel a chill down their spines.
Ha Khanh looked at the sky outside, his expression extremely solemn.
"It should be my turn, Ha Khanh."
Thinking that even Chu Duong could become an Awakener, it didn't seem too outrageous for him, Ha Khanh, to become an Awakener. He really wanted to go out and stand in the rain, but seeing Co Hang's message in the group chat, he gave up the idea.
It was better not to take risks.
Ding!
A message notification.
He opened it and saw that it was a message from Chu Duong.
[Chu Duong: Master Ha, your opportunity has come. Congratulations, congratulations.]
Reading this message, Ha Khanh frowned slightly. Goodness, he knew Chu Duong was very cunning, but he didn't expect him to be this cunning. If he didn't become an Awakener in the end, this guy would definitely say with regret... "I didn't expect Master Ha to fail either."
Then he would definitely pat his shoulder and say, "Master Ha, we'll try again next time."
Therefore, Ha Khanh replied decisively.
[Ha Khanh: What opportunity? An Awakener? I'm not that interested in it.]
He had to be firm in his words, not giving the other party any chance. Chu Duong, who had become an Awakener, was guarding the prison in Hoang City, watching over a group of people. He had more or less some power. To say he wasn't envious would be a lie.
Ha Khanh put away his phone and looked at the sky outside, which was already covered in green. This was really the first time he had seen such a situation. At least, the previous few thunderstorms were definitely not like this.
Rumble!
The thunder roared, and lightning like dragons crackled on the green clouds, like a huge net covering the entire sky.
Whoosh!
The rain poured down.
In an instant, the entire city was covered in green rain.
Lam Pham looked on gravely. He suspected that this thunderstorm was not the rain that could produce Awakeners. He took out his camera and took a picture of the distant sky.
He had to take pictures of all kinds of strange phenomena and save them in the "Zombie Illustrated Handbook" as data for future research.
He slid open the door, went to the balcony, and stretched out his hand, letting the rain fall into his palm. The rain collected in his palm was green. He didn't feel anything, and no abnormalities occurred.
With his current senses, if there was a problem with the rain.
He could react immediately.
The phone rang.
It was Professor Ha. He answered the call.
"Professor Ha..."
"Little Pham, I just collected the rainwater from this storm and found something very serious. This rainwater has no effect on humans, but if a zombie is exposed to the rainwater, the zombie's genes will undergo self-improvement."
Professor Ha's tone on the other end of the phone was very solemn, clearly expressing his worry.
"You mean this rainwater can help zombies evolve?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. But fortunately, the scope of this storm is not global, nor is it nationwide. It's a strip centered on Hoang City. But even so, it's extremely troublesome."
Hearing what Professor Ha said.
Lam Pham thought of the area he had cleared. Was it a province? It seemed like it wasn't. Then the number of zombies bathed in this green rain was probably not small. If they could really improve their genes, then the zombies would become even more terrifying.
Of course, the zombies were already very terrifying now.
As for becoming even more terrifying, what those Awakeners would have to face would definitely be...
Thinking of this.
Lam Pham thought of Officer Hoang. According to Professor Ha's explanation, this rain was beneficial to zombies.
"Professor Ha, hang up first. I need to contact Officer Hoang."
After speaking, he hung up the phone and then directly called Officer Hoang.
Beep... beep... beep...
No one answered for now.
"Officer Hoang, please answer my call." Lam Pham looked at the dialing number, a little anxious. Putting aside how this rain came about, if this rain could improve Officer Hoang's genes, then this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He knew Officer Hoang was always wandering outside and had definitely hunted many zombies. As for why he hadn't called now, it was probably because he hadn't encountered any living survivors, or he had encountered living survivors but they didn't meet Officer Hoang's requirements and were eliminated on the spot.
After all, Officer Hoang was not as easy to talk to as he was and would not give the other party any chance.
Finally, the call connected.
"Officer Hoang, where are you? Give me a specific location," Lam Pham asked anxiously.
"Are you looking for him?"
Hearing a reply, Lam Pham was very excited, thinking it was Officer Hoang willing to talk to him. But after listening carefully, he found that it was not Officer Hoang's voice.
"Hello, I'm looking for him. May I ask who you are?"
"Haha, what a pity. He's being stepped on by me now. This Officer Hoang of yours is very powerful. I almost couldn't hold him down."
Lam Pham knew that Officer Hoang might have encountered another enemy fight.
But Officer Hoang was clearly already very strong.
How could such a situation happen? But wait... the one speaking was a human. Damn it, Officer Hoang had always been contributing to humanity in the apocalypse, burning himself out. He didn't expect that there were still humans who would attack Officer Hoang. They really deserved to die.
"Excuse me, where are you? I think we can have a good chat," Lam Pham asked gently, needing to stabilize the other party. According to the information he had, Officer Hoang had been captured. If he threatened the other party fiercely, it might bring a devastating disaster to Officer Hoang.
At this moment, in a remote area.
Officer Hoang, wearing battle armor, had fallen to the ground. A yellow-haired man was stepping on Officer Hoang's head. This yellow-haired man's body was not that of a real human. There was a sturdy tail on his hip, gently tapping the ground.
Around him were two other similarly mutated humans, standing leisurely on both sides, mockingly looking at Officer Hoang's head being stepped on.
To be honest, in their eyes, this guy in the battle armor was really fierce.
If not for the yellow-haired man's appearance, they might not have been able to capture him. And don't underestimate this yellow-haired man. He looked like a punk, but he was the twelfth-ranked existence among the twelve complete bodies.
Because the yellow-haired man liked Godzilla, and also had a tail similar to Godzilla's, his codename in the organization was Godzilla.
"Want to chat? Okay, let me see where this is. Hmm, it's at the Thao Yuen highway exit. You'd better hurry up, or I'm leaving." The yellow-haired Godzilla laughed and hung up the phone.
The two mutated humans around him said, "Godzilla, who was that on the phone?"
Godzilla said, "I don't know, it didn't show. But it doesn't matter. Hehe, if I hadn't appeared in time, you two would have been killed by him."
The two mutated humans were very helpless. The Officer Hoang in the battle armor had surpassed their imagination.
He was too strong.
First of all, the hardness of this battle armor was unimaginable. Any attack landing on it was like hitting a steel plate, with no effect at all. If Godzilla hadn't appeared, just as he said, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At this time, at the Sunshine Shelter, Lam Pham, who had hung up the phone, had a solemn expression. He directly left the shelter, moving forward at a speed that surpassed his usual fastest, the impact he created compressing the air and constantly exploding.
His speed increased to the limit.
Officer Hoang was in danger, and he couldn't delay. He really didn't expect Officer Hoang to not be able to hold out. It was really beyond his imagination.
He also wanted to see who it was that was so hateful.
Rumble!
Rumble!
