Once he lost this position, it would mean losing the benefits of a deputy head, and as a mere Level 5 Superhuman, what could he do to sustain his life, especially since he had a wife and two children still living in Lakeside? Who would they rely on...?In fact, the second condition was just a probing tactic. The government knew full well that forcing a bunch of bandits to immediately disarm and surrender was unlikely, and even if they succeeded in disarming them, they wouldn't be able to use them right away. What they wanted was to observe the attitude of these people while keeping a close eye on the leadership of Hope Town to exploit them more effectively.With the zombie horde at Renaissance advancing, Richard felt confident he could buy more time, at least until the end of tomorrow, without facing demands for an immediate response. In fact, they might not issue a summons until the zombie horde was dealt with here. Of course, with a gold mine like this, it had to be mined slowly...

Ten minutes later, after nearly being suffocated, Memphis hurriedly turned his head to avoid the soft sensation and gasped for breath, coughing twice, pretending to be weak before slowly speaking:"Alright, is the job done?"Amanda let out a cold huff, lightly slapping Memphis on the cheek before scolding: “You don’t even care about whether I’m alive or dead and all you can think about is the job?"'Damn, aren't you alive and well?' Memphis cursed silently in his heart. From his backpack, he pulled out a large pile of experience crystals, potential crystals, skill books, item cards, 12.7mm shell casings, a few scattered rings—an assortment of random goods—tossing them all onto the table as he replied: “Feeling better now?"Amanda leaned forward to gather everything up, but after seeing Memphis’s pale, exhausted face, she gritted her teeth in frustration, throwing everything back on the table and scolding him: “Giving a woman gifts but being stingy like this? Can’t you be a little more

The Lakeside Bridge hasn’t been destroyed, and Lakeside County hasn’t been driven out, nor has communication been severed—these are the reasons it continues to serve a mysterious, vital role.Setting this matter aside, Memphis carefully gathered the documents and camera on the table, slinging his backpack over his shoulder before stepping out.Being a leader is truly grueling. It’s past 8 PM, and he still hasn’t eaten, showered, or removed the heavy equipment on his person. Worse still, another meeting awaits him, leaving little room for comfort.The only solace is that he’s earning plenty of contribution points, and those at the top always get a bigger share… Haha, today it’s instructions from the top, but in a while, it might even be assassins from Lakeside or tank shells fired from T90s—such fun.As he stepped out of the meeting room, Memphis spotted a group of people loading PG-2 HEAT shells and several anti-tank guns onto a military jeep. In addition, various equipment like baseb

After giving her instructions, Memphis slowly dragged himself to the clothes rack. Shaina, always obedient, stepped forward to help him remove his combat gear.Although he was used to having Bridget and Brigitte help him with such tasks, he still wasn’t entirely comfortable having others assist him with something as simple as changing clothes. After fumbling awkwardly for a while, he finally waved his hand and said, slightly embarrassed:"Alright, you can go rest now."Shaina, unsurprisingly, showed no signs of disappointment. She remained as somber as ever. After hanging up his post-apocalyptic jacket, she quietly responded with a soft "yes" before turning to prepare his bed.Memphis stepped into the bathroom, where the warm steam and soft moonlight enveloped him. After a day of fighting, now ten o’clock at night, his stamina was down to just 4 points. Finally, he had time to relax.After thirty minutes of soaking in warm water, his body was thoroughly content. Memphis wrapped a towe

Memphis, once confident he could handle Virginia’s condition, now found himself at a loss. She wasn’t ill; she had developed some kind of ability but was trapped within its effects.It was truly remarkable..."Step back a little."After 11 minutes had passed, Memphis spoke in a low voice to the two nearby. They quickly complied, knowing the commander was about to attempt a treatment for Ms. Palmer.Once everyone was a safe five meters away, Memphis quietly addressed Virginia:"Your brother is very worried about you..."There was no response. The beautiful yet dangerously ominous girl remained seated, unresponsive to her surroundings. As long as the stimulus wasn’t loud enough, she stayed calm and relatively harmless.But as soon as she was provoked...Suddenly, Memphis acted. He snapped his fingers, summoning two 1.7-meter ice golems. The moment they appeared, they moved to either side of Virginia, grabbing her arms firmly. Instantly, her face contorted with rage, her eyes blazing red
