Memphis froze at the sight, hastily retracting his intent and shouting urgently,“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Medic team, get over here for support!”Upon hearing his shout, two medics quickly ran to assist the communications officer, while a protection team member activated Light Armor, covering Memphis.“Commander, please move back. I’ll handle the next attack.”The team member was highly professional, taking Memphis’s alert seriously and raising his vigilance by 200%, positioning himself in front to shield the commander.Memphis hid in the Light Armor for a few seconds, a bit embarrassed, pretending to look around as if scanning for enemies. When no one seemed to notice him, he discreetly slipped away to another corner to continue the fight.“Damn, I’m too strong. I scare even myself…”As Memphis mumbled with excitement, four explosive rounds launched toward them. Three were intercepted mid-air, and the last one hit the b40 mesh barrier, stopping short of causing any damage.The zo

“So strong…”After observing for about three minutes, Jarred murmured in admiration. Still, he wasn’t intimidated. If he activated his giant transformation, his defense would easily withstand the force of Xenon’s blades, and his speed and strength would surpass the movements of those weapons.But when two AK-47 rifles seemed to levitate next to Xenon as if possessed and automatically began shooting at the horde, Jarred fell silent.“Damn… what kind of skill is this?”Xenon’s profession was Power Engineer, and his primary skill was the third-level Mind Manipulation. This ability allowed him to use mental energy to control inanimate objects as easily as his own limbs, similar to how Memphis controlled his ice minions—eerily powerful.He could handle up to 20 machetes at once, but doing so would reduce their speed and power, while also draining more energy, so the returns weren’t worth it. Instead, he controlled six blades and two guns, which allowed him to handle any situation.Jarred a

The properties of the white and red varieties remained unknown. Only squad leaders with substantial contributions could access and use them, but it was rumored they were tremendously potent.Jarred couldn’t help but salivate at the thought of tasting them; they had to be better than peppers or rocks. But after two days of searching, he’d given up on finding the vines. At least he’d managed to “borrow” ten smoke bombs—more than enough for his research.After observing Fergus for another ten minutes and assessing his actual strength, Jarred finally wrapped up his reconnaissance of Lakeside’s upper ranks."Three hours left until the Echo Clone expires. What to do to kill time… Hmm, maybe ‘borrow’ a few more shells as a gift for the boss. This time, let’s try Zared’s stash…”The bounty from Jarred’s excursion was impressive. While he’d spent the previous afternoon and this morning running around with little opportunity to dispatch zombies, the experience had broadened his horizons conside

Outwardly, he ordered Nicky to negotiate a passage to deal with the 20,000 zombies for trade purposes, while secretly he created a hair-trigger crisis for Lakeside, shifting all the risk onto them. If he genuinely wanted open trade, he wouldn’t have planted explosives under Lakeside Bridge. Once Lakeside was devoid of Manipulation Types, it was only a matter of time before reports would come in of strange zombie movements in Whiskey and downtown Pure Essence. The zombies from Whiskey would have two choices: attack Hope Town or the Lakeside base. If Lakeside appeared safer, the zombies would likely flood there, sparing Hope Town the worst of the assault.<

With a dark expression, Memphis glared at the AWM in his hands, blaming the weapons maintenance team. Clearly, this sniper rifle was faulty. Allowing such defective equipment to reach the front lines was absolutely unacceptable."Sigh… If I had a squad of 100 snipers, each a marksman at this range, we could take out a horde of 20,000 zombies in half an hour…"Sniping isn’t easy work. In less than a second, a sniper has to perform hundreds of calculations, factoring in various data to ensure each bullet flies true. The further the target, the greater the influencing factors and the higher the chance of missing.For instance, aiming for the head of a Strength Type above level 20 was nearly impossible, as these creatures emitted a powerful gravitational aura, pulling bullets off course and making it extremely hard to line up an accurate shot.Memphis couldn’t fathom how some people managed to land 10 out of 10 shots. His Hope regiment boasted five military personnel and seven police offi
