Promotional flyer?
[Most comprehensive information, fastest speed, optimal service, creating Hoang city's strongest second-hand housing brokerage brand...]
Truly housing promotion.
After the heart-pounding event, her mood had just calmed down. Before she could say anything, a promotional flyer appeared before her. Looking at the opponent's serious expression, for a moment, it left her not knowing what to say.
"Your place here might not be suitable for living anymore. You can take a look at these; what I mainly recommend is Duong Quang Apartments."
Lam Pham revealed a professional, friendly smile. The apocalypse arrived, indeed not good for survivors. He was willing to provide good quality housing for the other party.
He himself was a homeowner in Duong Quang Apartments, also a part-time employee at Tan Phong Brokerage. Duong Quang Apartments wasn't Hoang city's best environment, nor the most expensive residential area, but it was absolutely a residential area full of love.
"I'm willing to go."
To Tieu Hieu trusted Lam Pham.
Past prejudices vanished without a trace.
That kind of prejudice came from Lam Pham always standing across the street, smiling at her, making her think of some movie plot: the butcher on a rainy night, standing downstairs from your house, looking at your window, staring intently.
Such a scene, anyone seeing it would be scared.
"Good! That you are willing to go indicates my work was done right. You already trust me as a qualified broker."
"Let me recommend Duong Quang Apartments' unit types for you. Our Duong Quang Apartments' units are commonly two bedrooms and one living room, with an elevator, parking spaces, ample green landscaping, and also suitable leisure and exercise grounds for all ages and genders."
Lam Pham chattered on, introducing.
To Tieu Hieu, face to face, was a bit dazed, her head slightly muddled. Suddenly telling me all this, what's the purpose? I don't have any requirements regarding the environment.
Just hoping to face the apocalypse together with reliable survivors. Even if finally dying in the end times, she would have no complaints, no regrets, because we strived together.
To Tieu Hieu's dazed appearance, in Lam Pham's eyes, was an expression of serious listening.
He knew introducing housing was a technical job, needing to state the advantages of the residential area, make the other party tempted, only then could this deal be closed.
"Our Duong Quang Apartments' supporting facilities are also relatively complete. The residing homeowners are all elites from various industries: there are doctors, soldiers, water plant staff, teachers, and also an internet professional."
These were all advantages of Duong Quang Apartments, must be stated.
"In our community, you can absolutely achieve seeing a doctor without stepping out, reading books without stepping out, truly achieving a fully comprehensive model. Of course, as our community develops and the occupancy rate continuously increases, more outstanding talents will join in the future."
"If you can move into our community, I suggest you can open your cake shop in our community, achieve self-sufficiency, earn money at home."
"So my recommendation is a first-floor unit in Building Two. You can set up the cake shop inside your home. What do you think?"
Finished speaking.
Lam Pham looked expectantly at To Tieu Hieu.
Since becoming a part-time Tan Phong broker, he always told himself, must learn to talk, learn the process of introducing to people.
See...
Now the effect is good.
The other party is already moved.
To Tieu Hieu's mind was a bit muddled, but she understood one point throughout: the housing distribution in Duong Quang Apartments was definitely handled by him.
Should be the leader of the shelter.
She really wanted to tell Lam Pham, actually no need to tell her all this.
Just bring me along is fine.
I, To Tieu Hieu, am not an unreasonable person, absolutely will abide by the shelter's rules.
"Good, very good. I'm very satisfied," To Tieu Hieu nodded.
Then a passage of words left To Tieu Hieu somewhat lost.
Lam Pham's smile became even brighter, "Good that you're satisfied. The price aspect is very cheap, 1400 a month. Can rent for three months first. If there's anything unsuitable, can change. I wonder if you're paying cash or by card?"
"Cash? Card?" To Tieu Hieu's mouth opened wide.
Lam Pham said, "That's right. Renting a room definitely requires rent money. I'm a part-time employee at Tan Phong Brokerage, normally also rely on this to earn some living expenses. You wouldn't be without money, right?"
He looked doubtfully at the other party.
If really no money.
Then no choice.
Can only owe for now. After all, the other party has the skill of making cakes and bread. As long as willing to work hard, definitely won't starve.
To Tieu Hieu somewhat couldn't keep up with the opponent's thoughts.
Cleared her head.
"But it's the apocalypse now..." To Tieu Hieu, from those novels she read, had never seen anyone demand money. All said money had become waste paper; even gold was like dregs.
Lam Pham said, "Mm, apocalypse is apocalypse, has no connection with paying rent. Rest assured, I never scam people. Everyone is the same, lives very peacefully, very comfortably."
To Tieu Hieu was silent, found her bank card, also some cash. Mobile payment was very popular, but opening a shop definitely meant keeping some cash on hand, preparing for any eventuality.
"So young, yet able to save so much money. Truly admirable," Lam Pham spoke the truth.
Since he started working, also scrimped and saved, but the money seemed to be stolen by someone, always gone by the end of the month.
"No place to use it."
To Tieu Hieu was just like that. She didn't even have a boyfriend. Usually busy alone in the shop, busy until night every day, tired to death. Where would she have the energy to go out wandering? Long since fell asleep soundly in the shop.
Lam Pham said, "Move to the residential area, reopen the bakery. What needs to be moved here? Tell me first, I'll bring people to move it for you later. This aspect, won't charge you money."
Still able to hear explanations regarding money in the apocalypse, To Tieu Hieu felt strange. Thinking of the scene where the opponent bought a cake before, also returned to normal.
Just some things in the shop.
Quite a lot of stuff.
Electrical equipment, materials, etc., also essentials for making cakes and bread.
Lam Pham nodded, keeping these things firmly in mind.
Then led To Tieu Hieu towards Duong Quang Apartments. Looking at the street outside, To Tieu Hieu was somewhat fearful, her mind always thinking of those terrifying zombies.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lam Pham finished speaking. Those few short words seemed filled with immense power, able to stabilize a weak soul.
Thinking so many zombies were eliminated by him, To Tieu Hieu mustered her courage and followed, just staying very close to Lam Pham, afraid a zombie might rush out from the side.
On the way.
Lam Pham chatted casually with her, learned that the cake shop had so many zombies because it was harmed by a group of people. Hearing this, Lam Pham's impression of this group was extremely unfriendly.
You may not love others, but don't harm others.
He wanted to know where this kind of team was.
Unfortunately, To Tieu Hieu also didn't know.
Hope they can encounter Officer Hoang. If really encountered, Officer Hoang would definitely extend justice, teach them how to be human.
Duong Quang Apartments.
Arriving here, To Tieu Hieu truly believed Lam Pham's words. Indeed, many survivors were living. From their mental state, could see they lived very comfortably here.
Didn't suffer the oppression of the apocalypse.
Her current mental state was really bad. Compared to them, she was like a beggar.
Inside the room.
To Tieu Hieu looked at the scene before her, stood dazed on the spot, unable to recover her senses for a long time. She truly hadn't expected such a living environment. If she had left with Ly Ky before, the consequences would absolutely be unthinkable.
She didn't know who Lam Pham was, nor what kind of existence. Just that being able to open such a shelter in the perilous apocalypse was truly unimaginable.
"Are you satisfied with this place?"
A voice came.
To Tieu Hieu, like a startled little rabbit, was somewhat flustered. This was a habit from the environment. So many days worried and scared, sudden peace made her momentarily unable to react.
"Grandpa Vuong." She knew who this person before her was. Introduced before, seemed to be a person of some status in Duong Quang Apartments, very respected by everyone.
Old man Vuong said kindly, "Mm, just arrived here, might be a bit unaccustomed. It's okay, everyone here is very nice. If any difficulties, just tell us."
Towards the person brought back by Little Pham, he trusted. One look at the girl, and knew she was a good girl. Had to say, Little Pham's judgment was sharp as snow.
"Thank you, Grandpa Vuong. I can feel everyone is a good person. I am very happy to become a member of Duong Quang Apartments. I will treat this place as my home, treat everyone as my family, strive together in the apocalypse," To Tieu Hieu said.
She was full of hope for future life again.
Thinking of Lam Pham standing across the street looking at her before, definitely wanted to save her, just that she regarded him as a pervert. Thinking of this, she even wanted to slap herself hard.
How could I judge a person by appearance?
Suffering.
Old man Vuong smiled, "Child, Grandpa coming here has no other meaning, just to tell you about our community's habits, also Little Pham's situation. Him asking you for rent money isn't because his brain has problems, but..."
Whenever new survivors arrived here, the old man was like Lam Pham's spokesperson, educating them.
At this time.
Lam Pham walked into the vegetable garden.
"Bro Hang, how's it going?"
Co Hang and Vuong Khai were repairing the fence. Gou Zi squatted there, head raised, just like a dog supervisor, watching intently. If seeing anyone slacking, would go up and sprinkle dog pee to wake them up.
Co Hang said, "It's alright. Doing the basic structure, preparing to raise it a bit higher."
Vuong Khai sorted materials. His workload was very large. Besides repairing the fence with Co Hang, still had to dig the fish pond in the afternoon. All physical, technical work. But he didn't complain at all, even worked tirelessly. This is our shelter. Being able to increase the shelter's defense is something to be wished for.
Lam Pham watched, mood very good. Just earned seven hundred in commission, placed in his trouser pocket, very secure.
Looked at the fish pond nearly half dug.
"Let me dig the fish pond for you."
His own strength, stamina were still okay.
Should be able to help everyone.
Co Hang and Vuong Khai were about to open their mouths to say, No need, we can do it. You go do your own things; leave these small matters to us. But looking at the current situation.
The words they were about to say were all swallowed back.
In their eyes, Lam Pham was like an excavator, speed extremely fast, one after another. In an instant, already dug out a large pit.
Watching, watching.
In a very short time, already caught up with their half-day's work.
They exchanged glances, silently said nothing, continued working.
Co Hang had a development path for Duong Quang Apartments in his mind. Basic defense is very important. Perhaps with Lam Pham present, even if the residential area was breached by zombies, they hide in their rooms, don't make a sound, that group of zombies could also be cleaned up by Lam Pham.
But he didn't want that. If can strive to improve the community's defense safety a bit, why not do it?
"Bro Hang, Vuong Khai, do you see if this is enough?" Lam Pham felt he dug very large.
"Enough! Enough!"
"Oh my god!"
They really didn't expect, clearly still needed some time for the project, yet ended just like that. If not seen with their own eyes, who could believe it?
Lam Pham finished digging the fish pond, waved at them, prepared to leave. When leaving, deliberately squatted by the vegetable garden side, looked carefully. Not bad, growing very friendly, continue growing, work hard.
These are all the diligent crystallizations of Duong Quang Apartments' survivors.
Truly very good.
"Bro Lam," Nhan Ny Ny walked over.
Lam Pham smiled, "Stomach much better?"
Nhan Ny Ny nodded, "Thank you, Bro Lam, for your concern. I'm much better now. Just that I want to ask, is there anything I can do?"
She really wanted to do something.
But she felt she was just useless.
Now is the apocalypse, she knew. Any safe place absolutely wouldn't raise useless people. If she did nothing, perhaps in the short term, everyone wouldn't say anything. But long term, definitely would be dissatisfaction.
She knew the people here were very good, might not have any opinions about her. But deep inside her heart, always this thought.
"You want to do things?"
"Mm, I want to do something." Nhan Ny Ny really wanted to do something. Perhaps many things she couldn't do well, but she still wanted to do something for Duong Quang Apartments.
Lam Pham pondered, thinking. Nhan Ny Ny is an internet celebrity, fans extremely numerous, also earns a lot, shouldn't be short of money. Now suddenly says wants to do things.
"You're not short of money, right?"
Nhan Ny Ny was slightly stunned, "Not short."
She knew in Duong Quang Apartments, buying things required paying. As long as obtaining things from others' hands, all needed payment. But now she lacked everything, only not lacking money.
Lam Pham smiled, "Then why don't you go with us to clean the surrounding shop environments?"
Nhan Ny Ny understood cleaning surrounding shop environments meant cleaning up deserted shops for people, then getting remuneration from them.
"Okay, I can."
"Good, good. I was joking. This work is physical labor, salary also low. Vuong Khai and I don't even have enough to share. You're not short of money, why do this kind of work?" Lam Pham laughed, then said, "Definitely bored out of your mind, right? I actually have a good suggestion. Your talent is dancing. Why not start a dance training class? Can teach Phi Phi and Dinh Dinh dancing. I think these two little girls will definitely like it very much."
Children studying is very tiring, also extremely boring.
Giving them an amateur hobby.
Adjusting their mindset a bit is very good.
Absolutely no problem.
If he told Phi Phi and Dinh Dinh now, the two little girls would definitely jump up happily.
Dinh Dinh: Uncle, Dinh Dinh likes dancing the most! Phi Phi: Are you trying to kill me?
Nhan Ny Ny thought for a bit, "Okay, then I'll teach them dancing. Bro Lam, do you like watching dancing?"
Lam Pham thought for a bit, "Very much like your dancing."
Nhan Ny Ny smiled.
...
Desert, Base.
Meeting room.
Everyone's expression was extremely serious, couldn't see any joy. Research until now, still no clue about the crystal's function. Crystal research now belonged to the most important major event for all major bases.
"Everyone."
A voice came. A woman stood before everyone, "Those seated are all our country's most formidable, most authoritative experts. The apocalypse has erupted for a long time now. I want to know, how many of our country's people can still survive?"
After asking this question, the woman pushed her glasses.
Her name was Quy Thu Nguyet. Before the apocalypse erupted, already here. After the apocalypse erupted, she also wanted to call her family, but didn't dare, afraid the ringing would harm them. Could only send messages, but until now, messages like stones sunk into the sea.
