Chapter 9 — Apocalypse Picks Up Lover

Under the moonlight, his skin was cold white, clean, without any rotting wounds. I brought my hand down again. Luc Tram Duat quickly grabbed my wrist.

“Don't look anymore. The wound has healed.”

My heart sank.

“Have you really been bitten?”

Luc Tram Duat replied softly.

“The day the zombies exploded, I went to school to look for you, and was bitten outside the experimental building.”

“The virus destroyed my nerves, so my consciousness was not alert for several days.”

I was stunned. It turned out that at that time, he was both fighting off the invasion of the zombie virus and taking care of me. We leaned on each other and talked a lot. It wasn't until the horizon lit up that it stopped. 19 The next morning, Chu Nghien announced his departure for the southern city base. Actually, I once told Luc Tram Duat that the two of us could leave the team. But Luc Tram Duat knows I'm always worried about my grandmother who lives in the southern city. If it was just the two of us going to the base, it would have stood out. If you go with a group, it will be more convenient to enter the city. In the end, we decided to accompany them for a while longer. Half a month later, we finally arrived at the southern city base. The base is surrounded by high walls, electric grids, watchtowers and floodlights, and the defense system is extremely strict. In front of the door there was a long line of people. Before entering the base, each survivor must have their injuries checked and their identity registered. When it was our team's turn, Chu Nghien was just about to step up to register. Lam Ha Nguyet suddenly spoke:

“Wait.”

Everyone looked at her. She raised her hand and pointed at Luc Tram Duat.

“I want to report!”

“He was bitten by a zombie.”

Everyone's faces changed.

“Ha Nguyet, are you telling the truth?”

"It can't be? Along the way, Mr. Luc always protected us, he wasn't like a zombie."

Lam Ha Nguyet firmly said:

“I heard with my own ears the conversation between him and my sister, Lam Boi Tinh.”

“He is a high-level zombie. His purpose in approaching us is to infiltrate the human base.”

“Boi Tinh, I know you like Mr. Luc, but you can't put everyone in the base in danger because of your own feelings.”

In an instant, all the gun muzzles outside the base were aimed at me and Luc Tram Duat. My heart sank. Unexpectedly, Lam Ha Nguyet did not sleep that night. I was just about to speak up and explain. A woman wearing a white blouse and gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the base.

“This is Doctor Hua, the base's paranormal tester.”

“Her ability can check whether there is a zombie virus in a person's body or not.”

Doctor Hua walked up to Luc Tram Duat with a cold voice.

“Hold out your hand.”

Instinctively, I took a step forward. Several supernatural beings gathered around at the same time. Fire type, earth type, enhanced type and two guards holding guns. Luc Tram Duat bowed his head and looked at me.

“It's okay.”

He walked past me, holding out his hand. Doctor Hua raised his hand and pressed the back of his hand. Pale blue light appeared in the palm of his hand, slowly spreading along Luc Tram Duat's skin. Initially, the light was quite stable. The next second, the blue light suddenly turned dark red. Finally it turns almost black. Doctor Hua's face changed.

“The body is infected at a high level of danger.”

“Immediate control!”

In front of the base, there was immediate chaos. Have Some people shouted, some people stepped back, and the supernatural beings simultaneously activated their abilities. A dirt wall rose from the ground, blocking his retreat. The metal chain clanged loudly, floating in mid-air. Dozens of fireballs erupted from all four directions. Lam Ha Nguyet stood behind the crowd, her eyes were filled with joy that could not be hidden. Doctor Hua said seriously:

“If you resist, kill on the spot.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all his powers simultaneously pressed towards Luc Tram Duat. The finger hanging next to his body moved slightly. The undead wandering outside the base suddenly turned around all at once. A low roar came from deep within the ruins. Closer and closer. More and more dense. Doctor Hua's face immediately became panicked.

“The zombie herd has changed!”

“It's him summoning the undead!”

20 As soon as Doctor Hua finished speaking, a herd of zombies poured out from the end of the ruins. Dense, completely black in one area. The survivors cried and rushed into the city, and the strong supernatural beings in the city all rushed out. Luc Tram Duat stood in the middle of the siege, confronting the supernatural beings. Chu Nghien stood by the city gate and shouted at me:

“Lam Boi Tinh, come in quickly!”

My classmates had all fled into the city, leaving me alone in the yard. But Luc Tram Duat is still outside. Gun muzzles, supernatural powers and killing intent were all directed towards him. I nodded at Chu Nghien, then turned around and walked next to Luc Tram Duat, holding his hand. Lam Ha Nguyet shouted:

“I said they were on the same side!”

The fire, ice blades and metal chains of the supernatural beings simultaneously attacked Luc Tram Duat. Luc Tram Duat pulled me behind him. Raise your hand. The fire disappeared. The ice blade crumbled. The metal chain broke into pieces. The zombies outside the base simultaneously let out a low roar. The city wall also seemed to shake. Doctor Hua realized the situation was not good and quickly shouted:

“Don't provoke him!”

But it's too late. Everyone was panicking and condensed more attacks with supernatural powers, covering the sky and the ground and attacking us. The black color in Luc Tram Duat's eyes became darker and darker. I know that the zombie virus in his body has not been completely suppressed yet. At any time, it could break out, causing him to lose his reason. I used my strength to hold his hand tightly.

“Luc Tram Duat.”

He bowed his head and looked at me. I said:

“We still haven't found grandma.”

His eyes wavered slightly.
