The sound of tires rubbing against the ground reached his ears.
He handed Manh Manh to Sister Ly, then walked towards the iron fence.
Quan Hao had woken up early. Seeing a vehicle drive over, with two survivors, one large and one small, appearing, he observed them carefully. Apart from the woman being covered in blood, the child was very normal.
According to the current situation after being bitten by zombies, there would be no chance for consideration; one would directly turn into a zombie.
Just as he was preparing to open the gate.
Lam Pham had already reached the iron fence, "It's okay, I'll handle it."
He opened the gate.
"Hello to you both."
Lam Pham greeted with a smile. It was just that when he looked at Quy Thu Nguyet, he frowned slightly, not because the other party was a bad person, but because the smell on her was a bit strange.
"You are Lam Pham, right?" Quy Thu Nguyet saw Lam Pham carrying a sword; that was Frostmourne. For people from the three major bases, it was no secret.
"You know me?"
Lam Pham was extremely surprised, not expecting her to actually recognize him.
"My name is Quy Thu Nguyet."
The moment she said her name.
Lam Pham said excitedly: "You are the Professor Quy that Professor Ha mentioned! I've long admired your great name. I know all about your dedicated contributions to humanity. I didn't expect you to come here."
"Please come in."
He now also wanted to tell Professor Ha that Professor Quy had arrived at the Duong Quang shelter.
"Meow meow..."
Just then.
At some unknown time, Officer Hoang actually appeared. He roared at Quy Thu Nguyet, also smelling that scent. There was vigilance, but also relaxation, as if he could clearly see Quy Thu Nguyet's situation.
"Officer Hoang, this is Professor Quy, who has always been making contributions to solve the apocalypse," Lam Pham said.
Quy Thu Nguyet knew Officer Hoang. She had long heard that Hoang City had a zombie that could maintain rationality. Now, seeing it with her own eyes, she really wasn't too shocked and even nodded at Officer Hoang.
"Officer Hoang, hello."
Officer Hoang stared at Quy Thu Nguyet, his expression somewhat ferocious. But that ferocious expression quickly vanished completely. He retreated a few steps and walked outside.
Lam Pham smiled and said: "Professor Quy, Officer Hoang has no ill intentions."
"I know," Quy Thu Nguyet said: "This child was brought back by me from another place. His name is Kim Thu, a very pitiful child."
Kim Thu cautiously looked around. This was the Duong Quang shelter he had seen in the Zombie Picture Book. Many people really lived here, and he also saw many children running around.
Lam Pham walked in front of Kim Thu, squatted down, and stroked his head, "Child, welcome to the Duong Quang shelter. My name is Lam Pham. From now on, this will be your home. All the uncles and aunties will like you very much, and there will be many little companions to play with you, okay?"
"Okay."
The child was handed over to Quan Hao.
With Quy Thu Nguyet's arrival, the scientific research personnel from the base all came. Seeing Professor Quy alive again, they appeared extremely agitated and excited.
"Professor Quy, you still want to leave?"
They hadn't expected that Professor Quy was just bringing the child here and then wanted to leave. They were anxious and wanted to keep her.
Quy Thu Nguyet said: "Mhm, I really want to leave. My own situation is very unstable. Ever since I injected the lucky cells, I have been different from humans. Now, I am outside pursuing the truth of the matter. This is the only thing I can do now."
Immediately after, she looked at Lam Pham.
"Lam Pham, I'll entrust them to you."
Lam Pham said: "Professor Quy, rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect everyone. However, Professor Quy, I think you can stay here. I will look after you. No matter how the situation changes, I am confident I can control it."
Quy Thu Nguyet shook her head, "No, I have my own direction and goals. When I met Kim Thu, I encountered a very strange person. His name is Chu Bang, and he exudes an aura different from humans. I suspect he has some connection with zombies. I want to chase after him and find the truth. Regarding this, I can only say I'm sorry."
Hearing what Professor Quy said, Lam Pham said: "Some time ago, I encountered a talking zombie. It seemed to call itself a brain-eater and could manipulate ordinary zombies."
Quy Thu Nguyet said: "It seems it's just as I thought. Zombies are not as foolish as we imagine. Among them, there might exist intelligence no less than human wisdom. All along, I have been worried about this matter. It's just that the appearance of Awakened ones has somewhat turned the tide for humanity. But as for the future, I still can't see clearly."
"Professor Quy, I'm truly sorry. If I hadn't given you the Awakened's blood, you wouldn't have injected the lucky cells," Lam Pham apologized.
Quy Thu Nguyet waved her hand, "It's okay, this is an inevitable result of development. Besides, the me now, although I have mutated, I have the ability to hunt zombies. If I can hunt all the zombies clean, even if I turn into a real monster, I will have no regrets."
Lam Pham called Professor Ha.
Professor Ha, learning that Thu Nguyet had arrived at the Duong Quang shelter, appeared extremely agitated.
Lam Pham watched Quy Thu Nguyet talk with Professor Ha for a few minutes, discussing many things. Finally, she hung up the phone. Clearly, Quy Thu Nguyet had convinced Professor Ha.
A moment later.
Quy Thu Nguyet stood up, preparing to leave the Duong Quang shelter.
She looked at the scientific research personnel surrounding her, "Everyone, believe me, there's no need to continue researching lucky cells. Its result is just like me. Although I can briefly maintain rationality, I don't know how it will develop in the future. I won't give you my blood sample. Stay here well and contribute to human civilization."
"Professor Quy..."
"You've worked hard."
Everyone bowed their heads, some with tears in their eyes.
Regarding Professor Quy's dedication, they really had nothing to say. Such a good person, because of the damned apocalypse, had become like this.
They saw Professor Quy display her abilities in front of Lam Pham. Those sharp claws, how could a human possess them?
Those crimson, bloodthirsty eyes made people tremble just by looking.
At the iron fence.
Quy Thu Nguyet didn't let the scientific research personnel see her off.
She and Lam Pham talked alone.
"Lam Pham, this is my blood sample. If you have the chance, send it to Professor Ha's place. Ever since Little Xu injected the lucky cells, I can no longer entrust important things to them. It's not that they will betray the people, but I'm afraid they will follow in my footsteps."
Lam Pham nodded, "I understand. I will send it to Professor Ha."
Suddenly.
Quy Thu Nguyet smiled, "Actually, I've always believed you are the true future of humanity. Because the strength you display can conquer all zombies. And we, these things, are really just child's play. I hope you can work hard. The future of humanity depends on you."
Lam Pham wanted to say something.
But Quy Thu Nguyet had already gotten into the car.
"Big sister...."
A cleaned-up Kim Thu ran over, his face full of reluctance as he called out.
Quy Thu Nguyet said: "Thu Thu, work hard. Big sister can only send you this far. From now on, stay here properly. Remember what big sister said, what good thing to do?"
"Study," Kim Thu replied.
"Yes, study. Work hard."
Kim Thu nodded emphatically.
"Lam Pham, I'll entrust him to you."
"Rest assured."
