The Red River Delta region in northern Vietnam, with its flat terrain and rivers, is one of the two major river systems in Vietnam, with a warm and humid climate all year round, and was once the most densely populated area in Vietnam and the capital of Vietnam. Formed by the alluvial waters of the Red River and its tributary, the Taiping River, this plain was once a historic agricultural area, but now the farmland has been replaced by vast forests.

Twenty years ago, after the Kowloon Group solved the world's food problem, the world's demand for arable land was drastically reduced, and countless fields of farmland were returned to nature, including the Red River Delta region. In just a few years, the rice paddies have been replaced by countless trees, the vast forests have made the climate more pleasant, and the Red River Delta has become one of the most inhabitable areas in Southeast Asia.

A year ago, the zombie plague broke out, and as the most densely populated region in Southeast Asia, the Red River Delta became the first region in Southeast Asia to fall without suspense.

More than 20 years ago, the banks of the Bala River were densely populated with rice paddies and industrial areas, but after the Kowloon Group solved the world's food problem, large tracts of fields were restored to woodland, so now the banks of the Bala River are lush forests.

Near the mouth of the Bala River, there used to be a beautiful estuary town, which attracted many wealthy people to build villas and resorts because of its beautiful scenery, but now this small town called 'estuary' is a different scene, surrounded by a thick cement wall up to 10 meters high. On the wall, there are posts at intervals, and groups of heavily armed soldiers stand guard over the wall day and night.

The town within the walls has long since lost the quiet and harmonious scene it used to be, and it is a mess everywhere, with military vehicles driving through the streets from time to time, and many pedestrians are afraid to avoid it, and they have returned to their hiding places as early as the military vehicles appear in the distance.

Yes, there are still people here, and they are all ordinary people who have not been infected, it turns out that this 'estuary' town has miraculously survived the fall of the entire Red River Delta because of its distance from the big city and the proximity to a military base.

Now this town has been taken over by the army, not only a large number of defenders of the original nearby military base are stationed here, those defenders have built a strong wall, turning the whole town into a small military fortress, because it has always insisted on strict quarantine of all people entering and exiting, so after the outbreak of the zombie plague, the defenders here implemented a blockade policy, prohibiting all outsiders from entering and using force at any time, so until now, this town still has many uninfected original residents living, And this town is probably the only place in the entire Southeast Asia where there are still human beings, and it is also one of the few human settlements protected by local armed forces, except for the survivor bases established by the four major consortia.

Today, the townspeople are divided into three camps: the first is the military, who enjoy the most abundant food and resources, but at the same time they do the most dangerous work to protect the town. The second camp is the rich, they provide food and all kinds of supplies to the army, and they are protected by the soldiers, although in the current world, money has become useless waste paper, but these shrewd businessmen bought all the money in the bank before the collapse of the world economic system. Because they believe that gold will always be a wealth that will not depreciate, even in any era.

The third camp is naturally the 'poor' who can't get the materials they need to feed the army, and they are not only not valued by the army, but also have to exchange heavy physical work for a little food that can only sustain life, but helplessly, these defenseless poor people are powerless to resist those well-equipped armies, and can only endure silently in order to survive. The most tragic are those frail women, because their physical fitness is not as good as that of men, and they can't work as long and high as men, so sometimes they have to sacrifice their dignity and ** in order to fill their stomachs.

In fact, this town was relatively safe in the first six months after the outbreak of the plague, because it was located on the seashore and refused to allow outsiders to enter, so the epidemic was well controlled, but after six months, mutant zombies began to appear among the zombies, and the town became no longer safe. In the forest outside the city, a large number of ordinary zombies and mutant zombies are hidden in it, and in the mountains in the northwest, it is a powerful gathering place of mutant zombies.

Therefore, the defenders here almost always rest during the day, and at night they are all guarded by the high walls to prevent zombies with the ability to climb from breaking in. It's just that this is a tough war of attrition after all, and all the soldiers and civilians in the estuary town have very limited supplies, especially food, weapons and ammunition, so God knows how long this small city can support without reinforcements.

The estuary town is about five kilometers from the mouth of the Bala River, which has now been restored to its rightful vitality in just one year because of the absence of human pollution. The mouth of the Bala River is the most beautiful place in the whole river, standing in the forest on the bank, looking west, it is a dense jungle on both sides, and looking east, it is a vast sea.

In the forest on the shore, in a clearing that had been clearly manicured, a strange wooden house was located in the middle of it.

The hut is actually a semi-suspended structure, with the only three trees left in this clearing as pillars, suspended in mid-air about five meters above the ground. On closer inspection, the workmanship of the hut was not actually commendable, the planks were obviously cut roughly, and a large number of old vines and wooden nails were used to hold it in place, and it seems that the builders of the hut did not think about what was unsightly, and everything was built with solidity in mind.

In the open space under the hut, a vegetable field is enclosed with thick wooden stakes, in which four or five kinds of vegetables that are common in Vietnam, such as green onions, water spinach and cucumbers, are planted, and on the edge of this small vegetable field, there are shovels and hoes and other commonly used agricultural tools, and even an irrigation canal is dug to bring water from the Bala River for irrigation.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and turned into bright spots on the ground, and the whole clearing was a peaceful and quiet scene, and it was obvious that someone could avoid the zombie-infested big city and live a paradise in this sparsely populated forest.

There was a rustling sound in the bushes next to the clearing, and a moment later a middle-aged man in ragged clothes suddenly emerged from the bushes.
