Memphis felt his lips twitch, resisting the urge to grab her by the collar and throw her into the middle of the zombie horde.If every team member under his command were as cowardly as she was, he’d rather kill them all himself and make a run for it, abandoning any thoughts of completing the system's mission.Ultimately, he suppressed his frustration, handing her five demon-slaying bullets, and said flatly: “Next, I will indeed send people to protect you. However, you must promise to fire all five shots at the designated target within 30 seconds."Wallflower thought for a moment before asking cautiously: “How many people will be protecting me?"Memphis glanced around the battlefield, then replied firmly: “All of them.""…?!"Wallflower thought she might have misheard, but after seeing the serious look in Memphis's eyes, she slowly responded: “If you're assigning so many people to protect me, this mission must be extremely dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to bring in a few machine guns

In just 8 seconds, three demon-slaying bullets had hit their mark in succession. The black flames stacked upon each other, burning with intensified fury, spreading beyond the confines of the shield and engulfing everything in their path."Grekkkkk..."A shrill, mournful scream echoed through the air. Several level 8 and 9 zombies, caught in the black fire, writhed in agony and terror. Their bodies melted like candles thrown into a furnace. Some were instantly burned to death, while others were knocked down several levels in an instant.In the blink of an eye, the center of the zombie horde descended into chaos. High-level zombies and evolved ones scattered like a broken marketplace, frantically trampling each other in a desperate attempt to retreat.Riiitttttt...As if the chaos wasn’t enough, a fourth bullet, fired from afar, pierced through the space, trailing a black, destructive light. It was like a black thread, cutting straight towards the center of the zombie horde.However, ju

Inwardly, Memphis sneered, but outwardly, he remained resolute, his face showing determination mixed with sorrow, regret, and a hint of pain. He nodded and said:"Good. With your assurance, I can proceed with my plans with much more confidence. For now, just focus on resting and fully recovering your mental state. Once you’re ready, taking out more zombies from a distance will be the best help you can offer."Of course, he needed her assistance—crucial assistance—but not now, and not in this battle.The time wasn’t right yet. He needed more, much more…After a moment of silence, Wallflower calmly said:"I understand… I need 15 minutes to regain my balance."Watching Wallflower’s figure fade into the distance, Memphis let out a cold laugh before turning to Allan and saying:"The main force of the zombies has been crippled. There are no more zombies below level 20 left on this boulevard, except for a level 19 Strength-type and a level 18 Speed-type, which are the most threatening. Do yo

Memphis temporarily pushed this matter to the back of his mind, deciding that he would try to keep a lower profile and interact less in the future. After all, when the members under his command grew stronger both in power and thinking, he felt relatively satisfied.He focused his attention on the third line of defense and began assessing the situation.The third line of defense was nearly 200 meters long, with a wall of earth and mud standing 1.4 meters high every 10 meters. These walls were reinforced with steel bars and supported by sturdy wooden stakes. The wall sections alternated between the left and right sides, extending all the way to the fourth line of defense.|\ | | /| |\ | | /| |\ | | /| ...The horde of zombies, led by low-level ones, had begun reaching the first earthen wall. They were quickly stopped and then slid along the sloped surface of the wall, moving from left to right. Upon reaching the right edge, they were again blocked by another wall, forcing them to shift

Urban warfare offered significant advantages to humans—they could leap across the zombie horde with ease while the zombies could only helplessly watch. Even the most keen-sensed zombies could only raise their heads and let out pitiful growls as they watched the humans escape. In just two seconds, they forgot what they were doing and continued marching forward under some mysterious command.As long as a transcendent’s strength and agility were both above 17 points, they could comfortably leap from rooftop to rooftop. In just eight minutes, they reached the outer edge of the second circle.Here, large zombies over 2 meters tall were densely packed, mixed in with smaller ones. If they had access to human flesh, these creatures would quickly evolve into strength- or speed-type zombies.Memphis was tempted to activate his burst energy and throw down a few ice bombs, taking out two or three hundred zombies and breaking through to level 14 in one go. But he held back for now—wasting burst en
