"A corpse ball rolling here means that the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter might still be the place some zombies want to destroy the most."
Lam Pham knew that for some zombies with intelligence.
He was the factor preventing the development of zombies.
For example, those Creators who knew him had sent zombies to cause trouble for him, wanting to destroy the Sunshine Shelter.
"Chuc Thanh, you guys have to be more careful outside in the future. If you see any strange zombies, remember to notify me," Lam Pham instructed.
Chuc Thanh said, "Yes, I understand."
Chuc Thanh was still very clear about his own strength. He knew what he was suitable for. He might not be good at fighting and hunting zombies, but in terms of observation, he was definitely top-notch.
Lao Chung said, "Do you suspect that the corpse ball came here on purpose?"
Lam Pham shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm just making a small guess. Just in case. Carelessness can easily lead to trouble."
Often, many unnecessary disasters are caused by carelessness. If one can be a little more careful, many can be avoided.
Lao Chung took Lam Pham's words to heart. It seemed that when he went out in the future, he really had to be more careful.
He was the oldest in the team.
Naturally, he should also be the most mature one.
The survivors were already picking up crystals from the pile of zombie mush.
No one disliked the disgusting flesh and blood. They used their hands covered by battle armor to flip over the mush and put the found crystals into their bags.
Although they had always stayed in the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter, they also knew the value of crystals. They might be seen everywhere here and have no value, but outside, they were good things that many people fought for until their heads were broken.
Even the content of the children's classes included a course on crystals.
They couldn't think that crystals had no value just because the shelter was not lacking them.
Diep Thien's expression was a little solemn, "My ability seems to be unable to deal with zombies of too high a stage."
She condensed her spirit into bullets, invisible and without even a single sound. As her ability improved, she felt that she would definitely be able to easily kill high-level zombies.
But reality was often very cruel. When she dealt with high-level zombies, she found that those zombies could sense her bullets and could always block them.
Lam Pham said, "Don't doubt yourself. Your ability is very strong. And we have always worked as a team, never alone, right? Even if Lao Chung's ability has improved to this stage, if he were to fight alone, he might not be a match for a high-level zombie."
He could only say this.
There was no other way.
Could he still say... your idea might be right. Van Van's psychokinesis is very strong. She doesn't need a team; she can handle everything on her own.
But could he say this?
Definitely not.
After all, it did not conform to the values of the shelter.
Diep Thien, who was comforted, felt much better.
Lam Pham's words were useful to them. If anyone else said these words, it would be useless.
Many people are good.
The collection progress was very fast. The corpse ball was indeed big, but there were only so many evolved zombies.
When the survivors who had finished collecting returned one after another.
Lam Pham said, "I'll go take a look around. You guys take the crystals back and store them."
After speaking, he walked into the distance.
...
At night.
Hong Nhat Martial Arts School.
Thoi Tieu Phi was arranged in a separate dormitory. He touched the bedding and looked at the dormitory environment, recalling all kinds of past events. He grew up here and had experienced many things.
There were touching doubts.
There was hard training.
He thought everything was developing for the better, but he didn't expect that the world was unpredictable and such a thing would happen, completely disrupting the rhythm of his life.
But the past is the past.
No need to recall.
Knock, knock!
Thoi Tieu Phi opened the door. Standing at the door was the Mediterranean-haired Dean Tong Dao.
"Dean Tong, what's the matter?"
Thoi Tieu Phi asked. The feeling this Dean Tong gave him was that he was an ambitious and thoughtful person. As for why he hadn't overthrown the headmaster, it should be that he knew his own strength was not enough.
Tong Dao had a smile on his face, giving people a very slick feeling, "I've always heard the headmaster talk about you, so I came to see you specifically. I wanted to chat with you."
"Come in," Thoi Tieu Phi stood aside. After Tong Dao entered, he closed the dormitory door, sat down on the bed, and stretched out his hand, gesturing for the other person to also sit down and rest.
Tong Dao had been observing Thoi Tieu Phi. From the first time they met, he felt that this Thoi Tieu Phi, who was always on the headmaster's lips, was definitely not an ordinary person. Especially since he could survive until now in the apocalypse, he must be even more extraordinary.
"Can I call you Little Phi?"
"You can."
"Oh, that's good. Little Phi, forgive me for asking directly, are you an Awakener?"
Thoi Tieu Phi looked directly at the other person and said with a smile, "Yes."
"I knew it. If you weren't an Awakener, how could you have survived until now in such a dangerous apocalypse?" Tong Dao said with a smile. Before getting the "Zombie Illustrated Handbook" and meeting Lam Pham, who knew what to call such an ability.
Now they all understood, and they had also received crystals from Lam Pham to improve their abilities.
Thoi Tieu Phi's gaze remained unfocused on Tong Dao, without any emotional fluctuations. This made Tong Dao have a hard time opening up the topic for a while.
He had a premonition that Thoi Tieu Phi's arrival here was definitely not just to take a look. The apocalypse was so dangerous. Who would be so brain-dead as to want to come to the former martial arts school to take a look?
There must be something.
But facing Thoi Tieu Phi's mood, Tong Dao was always thinking about how to open his mouth.
"Dean Tong, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly," Thoi Tieu Phi said.
Tong Dao thought for a moment and slowly said, "Little Phi, you must have come to the martial arts school for a reason, right?"
Thoi Tieu Phi's mouth curled into a smile, "There are indeed some things. I didn't expect Dean Tong to have seen through it."
As expected, just as Tong Dao had thought.
The other party's arrival at the martial arts school was definitely for a reason. If there was nothing, who would be willing to come?
Tong Dao couldn't wait to ask, "Can you tell me what it is?"
"You want to know?" Thoi Tieu Phi smiled. The other person's desire to know could not be concealed.
"Yes."
Tong Dao nodded. He felt an unprecedented calmness from the other person's body. He had only seen this kind of calmness in Lam Pham of the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter.
Thoi Tieu Phi said, "Dean Tong, when you should know, you will know. It's getting late. You should go back and rest. Please..."
Facing this situation, Tong Dao was very helpless. He wanted to say more but stopped. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. He could only get up and leave.
After Tong Dao left.
Thoi Tieu Phi carried a chair to the window and sat down, leaning back in the chair, his feet on the windowsill, looking at the night outside.
...
Early morning.
Chu Duong found Lam Pham.
"Brother Lam, do you want to go to the prison and take a look? I found that some criminals have recovered very well after reformation."
Chu Duong was conscientious and responsible for the prison. He didn't even have time to brag with Ha Khanh.
Lam Pham, who was just about to go out to clean up zombies, was a little interested when he heard this.
"Then let's go take a look."
Some of the survivors he had brought back, because their own conditions were not suitable, were sent to prison by him, as a chance for them to reform and start a new life.
Of course, some were not that simple.
They needed to stay in prison for a long time.
As they entered the prison.
The sound of recitation could already be heard.
"What are they reading?" Lam Pham asked.
Chu Duong said, "The criminal law. I let them recite the criminal law to strengthen their memory, so that they will always remember it in their hearts. When they go out to do something in the future, they will filter it in their minds and see if it is in compliance with the rules."
Lam Pham gave Chu Duong a thumbs up.
Awesome!
He really didn't expect Chu Duong to be so outstanding.
Trusting Chu Duong to manage the prison well back then was really a very wise choice.
Following Chu Duong, he observed the surrounding situation. Some criminals were active in the playground.
"Why are they active? Don't they need to recite the criminal law?" Lam Pham asked.
Chu Duong said, "They are on rotation. It will be their turn later."
"Oh."
Lam Pham nodded. In terms of management, he had also delegated authority to Chu Duong. With him and Cao Bo, even if a criminal wanted to cause trouble, it would be suppressed in an instant.
There was no chance for them to resist.
"Brother Lam."
Cao Bo saw Lam Pham and also hurried over to greet him.
"How is it?" Lam Pham asked.
"Everything is fine," Cao Bo said with a smile.
Chu Duong said, "You accompany Brother Lam. I'll go get that group of prisoners."
"Okay."
Not long after.
The sound of orderly shouting came.
"1, 2, 1..."
The prisoners, wearing prison uniforms, formed two lines and marched in step. They held their heads high and chests out, full of energy. The former fierceness and meanness were all gone.
There was only that vigorous and enterprising spirit.
As they came to Lam Pham, Chu Duong raised his hand, his expression serious.
"At ease, right dress, align the formation,嗯... forward, at ease, at attention, hold it."
Chu Duong nodded with satisfaction.
This group of criminals brought back by Brother Lam, what they ultimately became was closely related to him. If they became better, it meant his education was useful. If there was no change, it meant his education was not good enough.
Then what face would he have to stay in his position at the prison? He would definitely have to resign and let the capable take over.
"Brother Lam, the first batch with slightly better results are all here. Please review."
Chu Duong came to Lam Pham and said loudly. He knew that Brother Lam could see into the other person's heart. If they met the requirements, they would leave the prison. If not, they would continue to be cultivated in prison until they met the requirements one day.
"You've worked hard," Lam Pham said with a smile.
At this time.
The prisoners standing in two rows raised their heads. They looked as if they had no expression, but in fact, they were very nervous.
The prison warden had found them and told them very directly that they were the most outstanding among the prisoners admitted to the prison. But it was useless for him to say they were outstanding. The final result would be decided by Lam Pham.
Now, their chance to leave the prison had come.
He had invited Lam Pham over. He would review them. As long as they passed, then congratulations, they would leave the prison and become true residents of the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter. In the future, they would have a free life and do what they wanted to do.
Hearing these words, they were so excited that their blood boiled, and their hearts couldn't help but beat faster.
On the way here, they had been warning themselves that they must perform well. They really didn't want to stay in prison.
The situation here also attracted some prisoners not far away.
They put down what they were doing in their hands.
"They are all outstanding performers. Their chance to leave has come. I really don't know how many will be qualified."
"I'm so envious. I also want to be outstanding, but my arrogant and unruly personality doesn't allow me to bow my head, so I've always been taught a lesson."
"Take your time. When you're the only one here, your arrogant and unruly personality will give in."
"Damn... do you know how to talk?"
"Hmph, foolish. This is still not about the strong being respected. Whether you can leave or not all depends on his preference. I won't change. It's already the apocalypse. Why should he care about these things?"
"Don't be stubborn, and don't be unconvinced. The prison warden said that Brother Lam is giving us a chance to correct our mistakes. He didn't let us meet Officer Hoang. Anyone who meets Officer Hoang will only have one path to death."
No matter where, there are always those who are unruly.
Of course, there were also people who, during their deep cultivation in prison, gradually came to their senses. Thinking of the things they had done in the apocalypse, they regretted it endlessly, and they couldn't even believe that they could do such things.
At this time.
Lam Pham came to the first prisoner.
Facing Lam Pham, this prisoner nervously swallowed his saliva. He was brought back from the trading ship. He originally made a living by driving a boat to ferry people. In the apocalypse, for ordinary people like him, it was very difficult to survive.
Like a dog lingering on its last breath.
Facing some fierce people, he could only bow his head, as humble as a grandson, not daring to have any thoughts of resistance.
He had thought that after being brought back by the other party, he could live a normal life in the shelter. But some of the things he had done were seen through by the other party and he was sent to prison to receive reformation.
During the reformation, he seemed to feel a kind of overwhelming positive energy.
Although the prison warden looked very fierce, he was actually very principled and very good. If anyone bullied others in prison, he would teach them a very fierce lesson and would definitely not turn a blind eye.
At the same time, he always told them to reform well, leave the prison early, and return to a normal life.
The apocalypse is not as scary as you think. When you truly unite with others, you will find that life has always been very good and has never changed.
Some people took it to heart, while others let it go in one ear and out the other.
So now, they were the ones standing here, waiting for the test.
"Don't be nervous. It's okay. If you're qualified, you're qualified. Even if you're not qualified, it's okay. Take your time. One day you'll be qualified," Lam Pham saw the other person's expression and knew he was very nervous, so he said gently.
The prisoner waiting for the result nodded.
Lam Pham looked at the other person's eyes, as if he had really seen into the other person's heart.
He smiled.
"Welcome to the Sunshine Shelter."
"Huh?"
The very anxious prisoner heard these words and his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it. He pointed to himself and said, "I... am I qualified?"
"Yes, you are qualified."
Hearing the definite answer.
This prisoner was so happy that he cried. He didn't even know where to put his hands. The joy hit his heart, making him want to say a thousand words, but all his words turned into an emotional outburst.
The surrounding prisoners cast envious glances at him.
They didn't expect the first prisoner to be selected without any suspense.
They were waiting, looking forward, all hoping that the next lucky one would be them.
Lam Pham naturally knew their thoughts.
The Sunshine Shelter had always been very stable.
The hearts of all the survivors were yearning for a better life.
Then, Lam Pham very carefully looked at each prisoner. When he said a qualified one, the named prisoner would be so excited that he wanted to cry. And those who didn't pass would be dejected and dazed on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
But there were very few such people.
Chu Duong's management method was very good. Under his education, the prisoners who came here had all walked out of their past darkness, regretted their past mistakes, and became normal citizens.
Lam Pham looked at the unqualified prisoners and slowly said, "Don't be disappointed. Take your time. There's no need to rush. One day you will recover."
He could only say this.
Chu Duong said, "Brother Lam, is that all?"
"Yes, that's all."
"That's good. I'll take them back to the shelter later and have Vuong Khai arrange for them," Chu Duong said.
"Yes."
Lam Pham nodded. The distribution of matters had always been the responsibility of Vuong Khai and Quan Hao.
Then he left the prison and continued to go outside to clean up zombies. He had to completely clean up the zombies in this strip of Hoang City.
After Lam Pham left.
Chu Duong said, "Very good. The people selected by Brother Lam, I have seen your reformation during this period. I knew you would meet the requirements. When you get to the Sunshine Shelter, you must be a good person. Don't think about harming others. If you are sent back, I think you will have no future. Do you hear me?"
"I hear you," the selected prisoners said loudly.
They could hardly conceal their joy. It was so exciting, so exciting that they wanted to cry.
The remaining prisoners were sent back.
The rest were taken by Chu Duong in a bus to the shelter.
...
Hong Nhat Martial Arts School.
Cafeteria.
The students were all eating. The food every day couldn't be said to be very rich, but at least it could keep them fed. For example, this morning's breakfast was a bowl of porridge, fried dough sticks, and pickles.
It was no different from usual. The only difference was that the choices were a bit limited.
Thoi Tieu Phi, Doan Nghe, and Tran Vo were eating breakfast at a table.
"Senior Brother Thoi, are you planning to stay here forever, with us?" Doan Nghe asked.
She felt that Senior Brother Thoi gave her a strange feeling.
He was not an ordinary person.
He didn't seem like someone who would stay at the martial arts school.
Anyway, this was a woman's sixth sense, very accurate.
Thoi Tieu Phi didn't answer Doan Nghe's question, but talked about other things, "The martial arts school has a total of fifteen Awakeners. With the situation of the remaining dozens of people, it's very difficult for them to fight against zombies in the apocalypse."
Tran Vo was holding a bowl, sipping porridge, and glanced at Senior Brother Thoi. He felt that his words were meant to express a certain meaning.
Doan Nghe said, "Yes, but we are enough. Besides, we don't go out to fight zombies. If we encounter danger, we will contact Lam Pham of the Sunshine Shelter. He will help us solve it. Senior Brother, you don't know how powerful he is. He's really like a god, unimaginably powerful."
When she mentioned Lam Pham, little stars appeared in Doan Nghe's eyes. It was the worship of a strong person.
And she knew that Lam Pham was a very good person. He didn't bully others just because he was strong. He was always very friendly.
"In the apocalypse, people still have to rely on themselves. Do you remember what the headmaster said? Practicing martial arts is not only for punishing the strong and helping the weak, but also for stimulating one's own potential to the limit. The apocalypse is indeed a terrifying era, but isn't it also an opportunity for us to go one step further?" Thoi Tieu Phi said slowly.
Doan Nghe looked at Senior Brother Thoi in a daze. She could understand what he was saying, but the meaning Senior Brother Thoi expressed seemed a bit inappropriate.
Tran Vo put down his bowl, "Senior Brother Thoi, that's an Awakener. An Awakener uses crystals to improve their abilities, only then can they have a chance to go one step further."
Thoi Tieu Phi shook his head, "No, I'm not talking about an Awakener."
Doan Nghe: ???
Tran Vo: ???
They were confused by Senior Brother Thoi.
"Senior Brother, I don't understand what you mean," Doan Nghe shook her head.
Thoi Tieu Phi smiled, "It's okay. If you don't understand, you don't understand. There will surely be a time when you understand. After we finish breakfast later, can you take me for a walk around the martial arts school?"
"Okay, no problem. Senior Brother, you don't know, our martial arts school has expanded a lot in these years," Doan Nghe said with a smile.
"Really? Then I must take a look later," Thoi Tieu Phi was very curious.
Not far away, Dean Tong Dao seemed to be eating breakfast, but his gaze was always on Thoi Tieu Phi's side. He always believed that this kid had a problem. He would die before he believed there was no problem.
...
Doan Nghe and Tran Vo took Thoi Tieu Phi for a walk in the martial arts school.
"Senior Brother, that's the farm. It didn't exist before, but my father said that the meat outside is all dead pig meat, sick pig meat, and there are too many fake things like seven-day fast-growing chickens, so he raised them himself," Doan Nghe tirelessly explained the changes in the martial arts school.
Tran Vo followed at the side, his gaze always curiously on Senior Brother Thoi.
He felt that this Senior Brother Thoi was really mysterious.
His temper was extremely calm.
Thoi Tieu Phi said, "The headmaster is just like that. He always thinks of the students in his heart. I remember when I was here, there were a few junior brothers whose family was very difficult and couldn't afford the tuition fees. The headmaster saw that they were still young and where could they go if they left the martial arts school, so he didn't charge them tuition fees and let them stay at the martial arts school and practice martial arts well."
"My father is just a soft-hearted person," Doan Nghe was in a very good mood, but she still said very modestly.
"No, the headmaster is not a soft-hearted person, but has a chivalrous heart, worthy of everyone's learning," Thoi Tieu Phi said.
Walking, walking.
They came to the martial arts school's glory board corridor.
It was in the corridor that all students had to pass, and various honors were hung.
The first picture was the headmaster's own introduction. In the picture, the headmaster was wearing a practice uniform, holding a champion trophy on the competition stage and taking a photo with a leader. The headmaster was still very young at that time.
The second picture was a photo of Thoi Tieu Phi.
He stopped and looked at this photo. He couldn't even remember when it was taken. Now looking closely, he realized how happy and excited the headmaster standing next to him in the photo was.
Doan Nghe said, "Sometimes my father will come here and stay for a long time, just staring at your photo. My father also said that at that time, you were the most like him when he was young."
Hearing Doan Nghe's words.
Thoi Tieu Phi looked at the photo silently. That period of time was hard, but he was very happy and very lucky to have met such a headmaster.
Suddenly.
Thoi Tieu Phi fiercely raised his hand and caught it with two fingers.
A fly was caught between his two fingers, and then he threw it on the ground. Everything was so skillful.
Tran Vo and Doan Nghe looked at the wingless, struggling fly on the ground, their eyes full of shock. With their current reaction ability, they could indeed do it, but to reach Senior Brother Thoi's level.
It was definitely impossible.
Senior Brother Thoi was indeed an Awakener... even stronger than they had imagined.
At this time, Thoi Tieu Phi withdrew his gaze from the photo.
"Junior Brother Tran, Junior Sister Doan, take me to see the headmaster. I want to tell him something."
"Oh."
They didn't know what Senior Brother Thoi wanted to say.
But they still nodded.
They took Senior Brother Thoi towards the office.
...
"What did you say?"
Doan Thanh Ho looked at his beloved disciple in shock. He didn't expect his beloved disciple to tell him... that an Awakener was not the only way to become strong. There was another way, which was to fuse with zombie genes and become a mutant. His purpose in coming to the martial arts school was to see if there were any survivors. If there were, he would lead them away.
Thoi Tieu Phi said, "Headmaster, I respect you very much, and I hope you can think it over carefully. The path is not the only one. Zombies are not something to be feared."
Smack!
Doan Thanh Ho slammed the table angrily, "Little Phi, do you know what you're saying? Fusing with zombie genes, what's the difference between that and a monster?"
"A monster? Headmaster, now that I'm standing in front of you, do you also think I'm a monster?" Thoi Tieu Phi looked at his respected headmaster and said slowly.
Doan Nghe and Tran Vo's eyes widened.
How could they have thought that Senior Brother Thoi would be so direct as soon as he entered the office? Hearing what he said, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
"You fused with zombie genes?"
"Yes, I fused. But I didn't become a monster. Instead, I gained extremely strong strength. If you are unwilling, I would like to ask the junior brothers and sisters of the martial arts school if anyone is willing to go with me," Thoi Tieu Phi said.
"Don't even think about it," how could Doan Thanh Ho agree to such a thing?
Thoi Tieu Phi said nothing, but walked to the window. With a bang, the window in front of him shattered, and then he jumped down and landed on the ground.
Soon, Thoi Tieu Phi's voice came from outside. He was asking all the students to gather there.
"Father, what should we do?" Doan Nghe asked anxiously.
Things had suddenly become like this.
She was also completely confused.
She was in a daze and didn't know what to do. She was still immersed in the return of a long-lost senior brother, but who would have thought that he would be so direct?
"You and Tran Vo hurry down and tell all the students not to be impulsive."
Doan Thanh Ho said anxiously.
"Ah ah ah..."
Doan Nghe and Tran Vo hurriedly left.
At this time, Doan Thanh Ho's expression seemed to have aged a lot. He took out a satellite phone from the drawer, wanting to make a call, but he was a little hesitant. He was afraid that his beloved disciple would be killed by Lam Pham, but... if he didn't make this call, other students might be in danger.
Just as he was about to make a call.
The Mediterranean-haired Tong Dao hurried over, "Headmaster, something has happened, something big has happened."
"I know. You go down and maintain order now. I'll make a call," Doan Thanh Ho said.
"Okay, okay..." Tong Dao pretended to leave, but in an instant, he fiercely stretched out his hand, snatched the satellite phone from Doan Thanh Ho's hand, and then, without saying a word, jumped out of the broken window.
"Tong Dao..."
Doan Thanh Ho roared angrily. He didn't expect the dean to suddenly snatch the phone from his hand.
He hurriedly chased after him.
Outside.
The students had all gathered here.
Tong Dao, who had snatched the phone, ran to Thoi Tieu Phi's side and said in a hurry, "I'm willing to follow you. I snatched this phone. Otherwise, he would have called Lam Pham of the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter."
Thoi Tieu Phi stretched out his hand.
Tong Dao handed him the phone.
At this time, the students were all whispering and discussing, not knowing what had happened. It felt like something big had happened.
"Everyone go back to your dormitories," Doan Thanh Ho waved his hand, wanting the students to go back.
"Headmaster, let me finish. I know your worries, but I have my own thoughts. If no one is willing to go, I will leave immediately and will definitely not cause any trouble here," Thoi Tieu Phi said.
"Little Phi, can you not harm your junior brothers and sisters? It's not easy for them to survive until now in the apocalypse. Don't cause trouble," Doan Thanh Ho said angrily.
Thoi Tieu Phi looked at everyone, "Junior brothers and sisters, hello. You all know who I am. I'll be brief. To survive in the apocalypse now, you either become an Awakener or rely on others. Relying on others to live, but we are a martial arts school, and we have always wanted to be stronger and more powerful. But here, there are only fifteen Awakeners in total. The rest are just ordinary people. If one day you are outside, how will you survive in the apocalypse? Have you never thought of having strong strength yourself?"
"Now the opportunity is in front of you. I can bring you power, strength, and the dignity to survive in the apocalypse."
"I'm not forcing you. Whoever wants to go with me, I can guarantee he will have such an opportunity."
All the students present were dumbfounded.
Their heads were buzzing.
What was going on?
Tran Vo said, "Don't listen to him. The method he mentioned is to fuse with zombie genes. What are zombies? You all know. Besides, we still have Lam Pham of Hoang City to protect us. We have a shelter to go to and live the life of an ordinary person."
Some students nodded.
That's right.
We still have Lam Pham.
The Sunshine Shelter is a real sanctuary. Why do we need to go anywhere else?
Immediately after.
Tran Vo swung his iron fists and rushed towards Thoi Tieu Phi, "Go away, you're not welcome here."
Facing such an iron fist, Thoi Tieu Phi didn't move at all. As Tran Vo approached, a strong wind suddenly rose and directly blew Tran Vo away.
"Are you worried about this?" Thoi Tieu Phi muttered to himself. Immediately after, a strong impact spread out from him as the center. A pair of bright red fleshy wings grew fiercely from his back. The wings were very long and covered in a halo. "If it's like this, then compared to true strength, it's not worth mentioning at all."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Thoi Tieu Phi fiercely punched the ground. The ground, hit by the impact, shook violently, and cracks spread out from the center of his fist in all directions.
For everyone, this was like an earthquake.
A moment later.
Thoi Tieu Phi slowly retracted his wings and looked at the shocked crowd.
Everyone's mouth was wide open, unable to believe that this was something a human could do.
"Only when power is controlled in your own hands is it truly reassuring. Is there anyone among you who is really willing to be an ordinary person for a lifetime? You all know what the apocalypse is like. Without strength, you can never take a single step out of the shelter."
"Whoever wants to have the same power as me, just leave with me."
Thoi Tieu Phi stared at the crowd in front of him.
Doan Thanh Ho's breathing was rapid, and his eyes were red as he said, "All of you go back to your dormitories. Don't be tempted. Do you really want to become a monster for power?"
Some students listened to the headmaster and stepped back.
But there were also students who stood on the spot, staring blankly.
"Senior Brother Thoi, I want to go. I don't want to be an ordinary person in the apocalypse. I want to have my own strength. I've seen others become Awakeners, and I'm really envious."
A young student walked towards Thoi Tieu Phi.
"Chu Chong, come back," Tran Vo shouted.
But the student didn't pay any attention to him. He walked behind Thoi Tieu Phi and then looked at Tran Vo and said, "Senior Brother Tran, I'm already an adult. I have my own choices. I want to become a powerful person. This path is my own choice. Even if there is danger, it's my own responsibility."
Thoi Tieu Phi said, "Your choice is wise. One day you will be glad for it."
"Yes," Chu Chong nodded.
Doan Thanh Ho knew that the matter could no longer be stopped. The strength Thoi Tieu Phi displayed was not something they could deal with. Then he glared at Tong Dao. Damn it.
Tong Dao held his head high and looked directly at Doan Thanh Ho, "What are you looking at? I, Tong Dao, have long been unconvinced by you. When I have strength, the first one I'll come back to find is you."
After speaking, he smiled smugly.
Splat!
Suddenly.
Tong Dao only felt a sharp pain all over his body. He couldn't believe the situation before him. He looked down and saw that Thoi Tieu Phi's arm had directly pierced his abdomen. He grabbed Thoi Tieu Phi's shoulder.
"Why... why..."
"He is my headmaster, the person I respect the most. My beliefs are different from his, but I will always respect him. You shouldn't have said these things in front of me."
Splat!
Thoi Tieu Phi pulled out his hand.
Tong Dao only felt his consciousness becoming more and more blurry, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The surrounding students swallowed their saliva, not expecting the dean to die just like that.
"Headmaster, no matter what, I will always be your student, and you will always be in my heart," Thoi Tieu Phi said.
Doan Thanh Ho said, "If you still recognize me as your headmaster, then don't lead your junior brothers to their deaths."
"No, I'm not leading them to their deaths. I'm just giving them another choice. I promise, I won't let my junior brothers die," Thoi Tieu Phi said decisively.
"You..."
Doan Thanh Ho actually didn't know what to say.
Thoi Tieu Phi said, "Is there anyone else? If not, I'm leaving. This is the only chance."
As he finished speaking.
More students came out.
"Headmaster, I want to try. I'm sorry."
"Me too. I don't want to be an ordinary person."
"I also want to have my own strength."
One student after another walked towards Thoi Tieu Phi.
Doan Thanh Ho powerlessly dropped his hands, "Little Phi, I'll go with you."
Thoi Tieu Phi shook his head, "Headmaster, I know your thoughts, so there's no need. I won't take you."
In the end, more than twenty students stood by Thoi Tieu Phi's side.
They were all looking forward to what they would be like after gaining strength.
This kind of temptation from power was really too strong.
It's like everyone around you has already cultivated to immortality. It's very enviable to look at. Then one day, someone tells them, don't envy those who cultivate to immortality. I can lead you to cultivate the demonic path. If you don't go, you'll be an ordinary person for a lifetime.
Even though they knew it might not be good, they still couldn't suppress their desire for power in their hearts.
"Headmaster, see you when I have the chance."
Thoi Tieu Phi placed the satellite phone on the ground, then left with more than twenty students.
Doan Nghe looked at her haggard father, "Father..."
Doan Thanh Ho shook his head and said helplessly, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. Sigh... the path is their own choice. How can I stop them? I just hope he can really do what he says and ensure the safety of his junior brothers."
Then he looked at the remaining students.
His former heroic ambition was all gone. He had thought of passing on the martial arts school's legacy in the apocalypse, but he watched as his students left, knowing that the outcome might not be good, yet he could do nothing.
He walked towards the satellite phone.
Doan Nghe looked at her father's back, knowing that her father was very sad right now. His most valued beloved disciple had become like this.
She understood that some things could not be stopped. Even with the protection of Lam Pham from the Sunshine Shelter, it still couldn't stop those who wanted to have their own strength.
It's like this money is someone else's money, not mine. Only having my own money is a real guarantee.
Little Lo Bac squatted next to Tran Vo, "Senior Brother Tran, they will definitely regret it."
"Why?" Tran Vo asked.
"Intuition. My intuition tells me that they will definitely regret it, and they will become very tyrannical."
"Tyrannical..."
"Yes, it's always like that in TV dramas. When a person's desire for strength has overshadowed their heart, that's when they fall into the demonic path. If their mental state is not up to standard, they will be controlled by power."
Tran Vo looked at Little Lo Bac, not expecting him to speak so clearly.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Tran Vo patted his shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense. The headmaster is in a bad mood. Don't let him hear this."
"I know. What's most sad for the headmaster is that his most valued beloved disciple has become like this. His heart has been hit," Little Lo Bac said in a low voice.
At this time.
Doan Thanh Ho dialed Lam Pham's phone.
He decided to send everyone from the martial arts school to the shelter.
The future of the martial arts school and the safety of the remaining students, he still chose the latter. There were still many temptations in the apocalypse, and not everyone could resist them.
He hung up the phone.
Doan Thanh Ho raised his head and looked at the sky. There were many things he wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say. Things often happened very suddenly. When he saw his beloved disciple appear, his mood was very happy. When such a thing happened, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
After a while.
A transport plane flew over from the distance.
It was the Sunshine Shelter's transport plane.
It landed quickly.
Lam Pham came out of the plane. He already knew about the situation at the martial arts school.
He didn't expect... that Headmaster Doan's former beloved disciple had actually become a mutant.
