He also felt that things had become very serious.
At this moment, everyone's mood was very good. This was the first happy event at their Duong Quang shelter. Many people were very much looking forward to it, hoping to use this event to sweep away the past depression.
Ly Mai had a lot of things to do, leading a group of young women to decorate the house.
As for tomorrow's banquet, it would be held on the street.
The number of survivors was really too many now. It was impossible to have a unified arrangement for food. Therefore, it had long been announced in the group chat that tomorrow at noon, each group of eight or ten people would bring their own food. This was the most convenient thing to do.
Whether the food was rich or not was not important to any survivor. What they wanted to feel was the celebratory atmosphere.
The next morning.
Khau Bang, who was sleeping soundly, was pulled up very early. Still in a daze, Khau Bang didn't know what was happening. Nhan Ny Ny told her to hurry up and wash her face, as she still had to put on makeup later.
As a streamer, Nhan Ny Ny was very creative when it came to makeup.
On the other side, Ma Duy Vien was also pulled up very early. Although everyone had gathered together to escape the apocalypse, those who could enter the Duong Quang shelter and move around freely were all recognized.
So, when they encountered something, they would help each other.
The photographer carried his camera and began filming. This surprised Ma Duy Vien, who was not yet awake, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
"There's even this process?"
The photographer glanced at him, "Others have it, how can you not? Brother Lam specifically told me that the apocalypse is just a situation, but our environment here is very normal. If we're going to do it, we have to do it completely. He even patted my shoulder and told me that if there's a chance, he wants to ask me for advice on photography techniques."
To be able to have the guardian god of the Duong Quang shelter learn photography techniques from him, for the photographer, this was a particularly exciting thing. Don't even mention how excited he was.
"Okay then," Ma Duy Vien nodded. How could he not want Khau Bang to have a perfect wedding? He thought in his heart, "Brother Lam, thank you so, so much, Brother Lam."
In his view, being able to stay at the Duong Quang shelter was his luckiest moment.
Outside.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of firecrackers exploded.
Phi Phi and her friends, who were on holiday, covered their ears and ran around the street. For the children, who was getting married was not important. The important thing was that having a holiday was a particularly happy thing.
The survivors in the shelter all stood on the street, smiling as they looked in the direction of the Duong Quang residential area.
Who was getting married?
This kind of thing hadn't happened for a very, very long time.
At the main gate.
Quan Hao, who was guarding his post, opened the iron gate, waiting for the wedding car to leave.
The newly arrived Ngo Dat said incredulously, "You can even get married in the apocalypse?"
Quan Hao looked at him and said, "What's wrong with getting married? Even if you give birth, there are professionals to deliver the baby for you. I'm really envious of Ma Duy Vien. This guy is really lucky to have settled his life's major event in the apocalypse."
To say he wasn't envious would be a lie.
He hadn't even played poker with a girl yet.
Tran Ngang said, "Brother Hao, if it weren't for the zombies outside, I would have thought the apocalypse didn't exist. Let me tell you, Brother Lam is really amazing. He's simply my idol."
"Nonsense, my big brother is no joke. He's not just your idol, he's the idol of everyone here," Quan Hao's admiration for Lam Pham had reached an extremely high level.
It could even be said that in his heart, Lam Pham was a god-like existence.
The wedding car drove over. Ma Duy Vien, who was in the car, said drowsily, "Brother Mao, where are we going?"
Khau Bang was right next door. Now the wedding car was heading out of the shelter. To be honest, he was a little confused.
Lao Mao said, "It's relatively close. Don't they all go out for a drive, recording the scenery along the way, showing the process of picking up the bride?" Ma Duy Vien: "..."
Alright then.
He felt it made sense, so he didn't say anything more. He looked out the window at the street. From these desolate buildings, one could see how prosperous this city once was. It was just a pity... the apocalypse came, and all the beautiful things turned to dust.
A brief silence in the car.
"Little Ma, do you feel it's very unbelievable?" Lao Mao said with a smile.
Ma Duy Vien said, "Yes, it is indeed very unbelievable. I didn't even know there would be such a grand display."
Lao Mao said, "It's very normal. We met Lam Pham early on, but you know how terrible humans are after the apocalypse. You can't just trust others. We missed a few chances. Later, I, Han Suong, and the others joined the Duong Quang residential area and found that he was very friendly to everyone. Until now, our trust in him is unparalleled. Whatever he decides, we will believe in him unconditionally."
"Me too. It's just that I never thought he would even care about the little things between me and Khau Bang, and even arrange them for us. Really, I don't even know what to say." Ma Duy Vien was not good at expressing himself and could only be grateful in his heart.
Lao Mao said, "Little Ma, what do you think life will be like after the apocalypse ends?" Ma Duy Vien thought for a moment, "Everything will return to peace, all life will get back on track, everyone can look around freely, doing what they want to do. Brother Mao, are you thinking about something?"
He felt that when Brother Mao asked such a question, he appeared very grave, as if he was thinking about something.
"No, I was just thinking, when the apocalypse ends, the world returns to peace, and order appears, but who will manage such a society?" Lao Mao said.
"Who will manage it? Isn't it my Brother Lam? What I want most is for my Brother Lam to manage it."
Lao Mao laughed and sighed. He also hoped it would be Lam Pham managing it, but he knew it was impossible, because based on his contact with him, he found that Lam Pham had no interest in this aspect.
Were times of peace really good?
For some people, it was very good, but for some people, it was not so friendly.
People were different in all sorts of ways.
This was class, a class that was decided from the very beginning.
When the apocalypse truly ended.
Who would be in the highest level of class?
It would surely be the Awakeners. They would become the highest social class, while ordinary survivors could only become the labor that kept everything running, continuously providing for the highest class.
It looked like everyone was very united now.
But when the danger was eliminated, everything would go down the path he had thought of.
Alright then.
Don't think about those things.
One after another, the wedding cars lined up and drove.
At noon.
The wedding began. The street was filled with dense tables. Some tables were square, some were round. They were all the dining tables that the survivors had put in their homes.
Some people brought hot pot.
Some people brought instant noodles.
Some people made a dish.
It wasn't as rich as imagined, but in the apocalypse, the dishes brought out now were already very luxurious. After all, there were still many people outside who had nothing to eat.
"Brother Lam, you be the witness," Vuong Khai walked up to Lam Pham and said.
Lam Pham waved his hand, "No, I shouldn't go. You go invite Professor Ha to the stage and have him be the witness for the new couple. I'll just watch from here."
Vuong Khai knew that Brother Lam was serious. He nodded and hurriedly went to Professor Ha's side. In Lam Pham's heart, to have Professor Ha be their witness was their good fortune. To have him be the witness, wasn't that just messing around?
Now, in the middle of the intersection, a red carpet was laid out on the road. Ahead was a simply built stage.
"Lao Chung, when are you and Tu Dinh getting married?" Quan Hao asked with a grin.
He knew that Lao Chung and Tu Dinh had been getting very close recently.
Their relationship had made rapid progress.
Lao Chung looked at Quan Hao, then at the food in front of him, "You're just eating instant noodles?"
"That's right."
Lao Chung smiled. It was just that this smile looked a bit pitiful. Then he lifted the lid of his lunch box, which made Quan Hao's eyes widen in amazement. He exclaimed.
"Lao Chung, isn't this a bit too rich? There's fish, and shrimp..."
Quan Hao was deeply envious. He knew this was definitely prepared for Lao Chung by Tu Dinh.
A loved middle-aged man was truly very happy.
"Give me a shrimp." Quan Hao reached out to grab a shrimp from the lunch box. Lao Chung was quick and protected the lunch box, blocking his hand.
"Eat your instant noodles. Don't think about these things."
A heartless rejection.
Cruel.
Not long after.
The sound of firecrackers rang out, resounding through the sky.
If this were any other place.
Such a sound would have attracted zombies long ago.
Only in Hoang City could fireworks be set off freely.
A new couple appeared, walking on the red carpet in the middle.
Lam Pham observed the expressions of the surrounding people. Everyone had a smile on their faces, watching without blinking. In Lam Pham's eyes, this was not just celebrating a new couple, but also making them feel at ease.
So what if it was the apocalypse?
Life now had truly gotten back on track.
Lam Pham liked this atmosphere.
The result of his efforts had appeared. This was the life he had longed for since the early days of the apocalypse.
All his efforts had not been in vain.
From a few people at the beginning to so many survivors now, he had always firmly believed that as long as there was hope, there would definitely be a future.
Even if the world was shrouded in darkness, he would also become the only dawn in the darkness, dispelling the darkness and letting the light cover the world. The wedding was in progress.
In the crowd, Lam Pham did not think he should be the center of attention, but just an ordinary person among the masses.
Just then.
His phone vibrated.
There was a message.
Lei Doi: "There's a zombie tide here, come quickly."
Seeing the content, he frowned slightly. He had not expected a zombie tide to appear during such a happy event. This made him feel it was very unbelievable. He stood up, preparing to leave.
"Brother Lam, where are you going?" Vuong Khai asked.
Lam Pham smiled, "To the restroom."
Vuong Khai looked at Brother Lam and blinked. He felt something must have happened, but he didn't take it to heart. With Brother Lam's strength, he could solve any problem. If even Brother Lam couldn't solve it, then this problem would make everyone fall into despair.
...
The cross-sea bridge.
Lei Doi stood on the observation deck of the fortress, holding a telescope and observing the situation in the distance. The distant area, where there had been no zombies before, suddenly had dense black shadows appear. Although they were very far away.
But he could still feel the ground shaking.
"The zombie tide is heading towards Hoang City. It seems this zombie tide is being guided."
Lei Doi was not a novice, acting as if he knew nothing.
During the Duong Quang shelter period, he had been studying the situation of zombies and knew that Hoang City had become a forbidden land for zombies. A very large area had been cleared, and it was impossible for a zombie tide army to be raised.
"Mhm? Is that a Lord Zombie?"
Lei Doi saw a huge black ball... no, that wasn't a black ball. Under the observation of the telescope, the black ball was made up of countless corpses.
This kind of zombie tide could not be dealt with by ordinary humans.
He had already sent a message to Lam Pham.
He should be here soon.
Although today was the wedding of a new couple, the two bridges still needed someone to guard them, in case something happened.
Just as he was thinking about this.
