Right now, Officer Hoang and Dong Dong were standing in the green downpour.
The other survivors were quietly watching from inside their homes.
After changing his clothes, Lam Pham found Chuc Thanh.
He didn't have the information ability, so he couldn't know the situation of Officer Hoang and Dong Dong.
"How is it?" Lam Pham asked.
Chuc Thanh looked at the situation before him gravely, "There's no change yet. After Officer Hoang left the shelter, he has already undergone one evolution."
"What were the previous evolutionary paths?" Lam Pham asked.
Chuc Thanh said, "[Perfect Evolver], [Complete Metamorphosis Evolver], [Mutant Evolver]..."
Hearing what Chuc Thanh said, Lam Pham nodded. The evolutionary path of every zombie was not singular; they all had several routes, and it seemed that the evolutionary path was not something they could choose themselves.
It might depend on fate, but the specific situation was really hard to say.
"So what about now?"
Lam Pham continued to ask.
Chuc Thanh said, "Now Officer Hoang's evolutionary path is very stable. He's on the [Gene Evolution] path. If he continues to evolve, he might head towards [Order Keeper], [The Undying], or [Tyrant]."
"Just those three?"
"Yes, only three."
Lam Pham analyzed. The first two evolutionary paths were actually quite good. It was just that the third evolutionary title sounded a bit difficult.
As the apocalypse had progressed to this point, there were basically only two types of zombie evolution.
The first type was ordinary humans turning into ordinary zombies, then evolving by fate. As for what kind of zombie they would evolve into, that was a bit hard to say.
The second type was like the Zombie Emperor Vuong Tu Hien, who retained his rationality after turning into a zombie and could evolve by swallowing crystals and eating the flesh and blood of Awakeners.
From this, it could be seen that zombies, like humans, had endless evolutionary potential.
And as the apocalypse developed, some humans had already begun to teeter on the edge of courting death, creating mutants by fusing human and zombie genes, creating monsters with powerful abilities.
In his eyes, this type of being might still maintain a human form in the early stages, but if the research continued, whether it could maintain a human form was really hard to say.
Just as he was discussing with Chuc Thanh.
Something happened.
Officer Hoang let out a low roar, bent over, and his whole body was trembling. The green thunderstorm was causing Officer Hoang to evolve.
"He's evolving," Chuc Thanh said, his eyes wide.
Lam Pham was also waiting, "Tell me at any time what Officer Hoang's evolutionary path is."
"Okay, good." The moment of evolution was often the most exciting moment.
Everyone in the Sunshine Shelter watched with wide eyes.
In their hearts, Officer Hoang's status was also very high. Although Officer Hoang was a zombie, it didn't affect his image in their hearts.
At this moment.
Officer Hoang, who had taken off his damaged battle armor, had dense green veins appearing on the surface of his skin, as if many insects were hidden under his skin, constantly moving.
Although the skin of most zombies would gradually rot.
This would not happen to zombies on the evolutionary path.
"Groan..."
"Groan..."
Low roars kept coming from Officer Hoang's throat.
Lam Pham could feel a force expanding in Officer Hoang's body.
When Officer Hoang was in Hoang City, he had evolved by swallowing crystals. After leaving Hoang City and wandering outside, he was also self-sufficient, hunting other evolved zombies.
Officer Hoang had also eaten the flesh and blood of Awakeners.
His genes had been optimized.
"Come on," Lam Pham clenched his fist, looking at Officer Hoang in the green rain. As for Dong Dong at the side, he didn't pay much attention. After all, living in Hoang City was very safe and stable.
Soon.
The evolution process was not long.
Chuc Thanh said in surprise, "He's evolved. Officer Hoang's evolutionary path is [The Undying]."
"Tell me more."
Lam Pham wanted to know more clearly what the advantages of [The Undying] were. It was just that he didn't have the ability to see through things. If he had such an ability, he wouldn't need to ask Chuc Thanh.
Chuc Thanh rubbed his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, "What? Officer Hoang's heart actually has the color of a crystal. Does this mean he has two crystals?"
This situation was really unheard of.
He and Lao Chung wandered around the suburbs all day, looking at many zombies, but they had never seen two crystals. It was truly unimaginable.
"Haha, two crystals. Is this Officer Hoang's special characteristic? Or does it mean that even if Officer Hoang's head is cut off, he still can't be killed because there's still a crystal in the center of his heart that can provide life force?" Lam Pham thought doubtfully.
"Brother Lam, it's hard to say. It might be that my ability level is not high enough. After Officer Hoang evolved, I can't see more information."
Chuc Thanh was very helpless. In the end, it was still him who wasn't good enough. As for the situation Brother Lam mentioned, it wasn't impossible. If they had to try, then the price would be a bit cruel.
They would have to cut off Officer Hoang's head.
Unnecessary, really unnecessary.
"It's okay. Since Officer Hoang has successfully evolved, then everything is fine. We'll take it slow, there's no rush. It's just that Dong Dong has had no reaction at all so far?" Lam Pham was very puzzled.
Chuc Thanh said, "I think it's because Dong Dong ate the flesh and blood of an Awakener some time ago and has already evolved. This rain just perfected his genes and didn't reach the level of evolution."
Lam Pham nodded, feeling that what Chuc Thanh said was very likely.
He took out his phone and called Professor Ha.
He asked Professor Ha to prepare a set of second-generation battle armor. Officer Hoang's battle armor was specially made and needed to have characters carved on the back of the armor so that others could recognize who it was by seeing the characters.
Although Officer Hoang's body didn't change much after evolution, his strength had definitely improved by leaps and bounds.
"Officer Hoang, who walks in danger, I hope you'll be more stable in the future."
He was really worried that Officer Hoang would be harmed by someone.
Officer Hoang had to deal with too many opponents. He had to deal with zombies, humans, and even mutants.
Just thinking about it felt very stressful.
This rain didn't last long, only about an hour. It was probably waiting for Officer Hoang to evolve. After the thunderstorm ended, the crowd came to the street and surrounded Officer Hoang.
Officer Hoang was still very popular.
Many survivors were saved by Officer Hoang, so they all enthusiastically came to greet him.
Faced with a group of survivors greeting him.
Officer Hoang actually showed a rare smile and nodded, clearly responding to them.
The current situation made Lam Pham really envious. Officer Hoang was so polite to other survivors, but he was always not very enthusiastic towards him. Was it because I was too outstanding, so for Officer Hoang, I didn't need too much care?
Yes... it must be so.
At this time.
Officer Hoang made a "groan" sound to Dong Dong.
The communication between zombies could probably only be understood by zombies.
Soon, Professor Ha had someone deliver the second-generation battle armor. The successfully evolved Officer Hoang would definitely leave. For this, safety was a must.
The battle armor needed crystal enhancement, which could at least provide Officer Hoang with extremely high protection.
Lam Pham hurriedly went to get the crystals, then, as usual, slammed the crystals onto the battle armor. The enhanced battle armor emitted a faint light.
"Officer Hoang, put on the battle armor," Lam Pham shouted.
Officer Hoang, who was quietly communicating with Dong Dong, walked over without any resistance, clearly knowing that the battle armor could protect him. If he didn't wear the battle armor, Officer Hoang, who was wandering outside, would very likely be blown up.
Lam Pham personally put the battle armor on Officer Hoang, saying as he did so.
"Officer Hoang, be careful outside. There's a mysterious organization that has developed mutants. It's the guys who knocked you down before. They're very terrifying. If you encounter them, it's best to run first. Don't be reckless."
He really hoped Officer Hoang could see the situation clearly.
Don't be stubborn and fight recklessly.
"Groan," Officer Hoang growled.
Lam Pham said, "I'm not saying you're not good. I know your profession, but tactical retreat is not a shameful thing."
"Groan."
"Good, as long as you understand."
The people around looked at Lam Pham with admiration. In their eyes, Lam Pham seemed to understand everything, even the language of zombies. He was so powerful.
Soon, the newly armored Officer Hoang was still so handsome.
"Officer Hoang, I'll take you back to where we came from."
After saying this, before Officer Hoang could react, and under the happy farewell gazes of everyone, he was carried away in a princess carry again.
"Groan..."
They couldn't see the departing figure, but they could hear Officer Hoang's low roar.
The surrounding survivors were still looking into the distance.
"Did you hear that? Officer Hoang must be saying goodbye to us."
"That's for sure. Officer Hoang is a rational zombie. Of course, in my heart, he is a human, a respectable and admirable police officer."
"As expected of someone full of righteous energy. Even after turning into a zombie, he's still so reassuring."
Dong Dong at the side tilted his head, looking at the people who had misunderstood the meaning. He knew what Officer Hoang was saying, but thinking about it, he decided not to say it. It didn't feel good.
Because Officer Hoang was cursing.
At this time.
Chuc Thanh came to Dong Dong, stroked his head and said, "Dong Dong, next time you can evolve. Take it slow."
He saw Dong Dong tilting his head and thought Dong Dong was thinking, "Why can Officer Hoang evolve, but I can't? Is it because I'm useless?" Therefore, the considerate Chuc Thanh wanted to comfort Dong Dong a little.
Dong Dong looked at Chuc Thanh, blinked, then turned and left.
Chuc Thanh smiled, "It seems my comfort was useful."
...
At this time.
Lam Pham had brought Officer Hoang to their destination.
It was the place where Officer Hoang had been beaten up before.
As he landed.
"Groan..."
Officer Hoang gave Lam Pham a frantic "groan."
Lam Pham waved his hand, "Officer Hoang, you don't have to say thank you. There's no need to trouble yourself. This is what I should do. You just need to take good care of yourself."
Officer Hoang: "Groan..."
"Haha, okay, I understand. If you encounter any problems in the future, call me first. Don't force yourself. This area might not be safe. It's best to leave early."
"Groan," Officer Hoang's tone was slightly raised.
Anyone else hearing this tone would definitely think... this is definitely not a thank you, it must be anger. But there was no choice. Lam Pham would definitely not think Officer Hoang was cursing him.
After all, there was no reason.
"Officer Hoang, let's not talk anymore. I understand what I need to understand. Be safe. I'm going to the outskirts of Hoang City to check the situation. The green thunderstorm this morning might have caused some turmoil."
Lam Pham waved his hand and left the scene.
Officer Hoang looked at Lam Pham's departing back, let out a low "groan," then shook his head and turned to leave.
...
A city two or three hundred kilometers away from Hoang City.
Lam Pham appeared here. The ground was very wet. This place had also been baptized by the green thunderstorm. He didn't know the situation of those zombies.
He walked towards the city.
"Groan..."
A zombie's roar was heard.
Lam Pham looked at that zombie. It was just an ordinary zombie, and it hadn't evolved because of a thunderstorm.
"It seems your potential is not very good."
In Chuc Thanh's words, that was the meaning. The genes were chaotic, unable to meet the requirements for evolution.
Seeing Lam Pham appearing here, the zombie, like a mad dog, lunged at him, not at all thinking about how terrifying the human in front of it was.
Perhaps this was the happiness of an ordinary zombie.
Rushing towards the flesh and blood they saw without any worries, without any deception, without any trembling, just reckless fighting.
Lam Pham's expression was very calm. The moment the zombie appeared, he suddenly waved his arm. From a distance, the zombie was directly cut in half.
No need to talk about whether it was scientific or not.
A high-speed swing of the arm, forming a cutting airflow. Perhaps this explanation was a bit reasonable.
[Killed an ordinary zombie]
[Points +1]
"Are all the zombies in this city gathered inside?"
He hadn't seen too many zombies outside. They were probably all gathered inside.
Suddenly.
Lam Pham looked up at the wall of a high-rise building not far away, and his face changed slightly. He actually saw a zombie crawling on the wall.
This zombie was hairless all over, its skin peeled off, revealing bright red muscles. Its brain was also exposed. It had sharp and huge claws, and a very long tongue with suction cups.
"A zombie without eyes, able to crawl on walls. This kind of danger is a bit big."
He muttered to himself.
The other party also sensed Lam Pham's existence. It used all four limbs, scurrying and crawling at a very fast speed, disappearing in front of him in an instant.
There was a sound from the surroundings, as if some debris had been knocked over.
He knew that it was the zombie from just now in action.
Immediately, a huge monster rushed out from the side at high speed and lunged at him. Faced with this situation, Lam Pham dodged and did not attack to kill.
Boom!
The zombie landed on the ground, its four limbs on the ground, its tongue moving, and it let out a low roar at Lam Pham.
"Its actions are a bit like a Licker. Could it be a species that evolved from a Licker?"
Lam Pham observed the other party.
Its speed was very fast. If it were an Awakener, it would be very difficult to react. The zombie in front of him seemed to be deadly all over.
Its tongue, sharp claws, and suction cups.
So scary.
