Memphis continued to examine the remaining two skill books and the item card.
"Ding! First-tier passive skill: Enhanced Resilience. Skill attribute: Permanently gives the owner +3 resilience. The skill cannot be repeated, but can be enhanced and advanced."
"Ding! First-tier active skill: Thunder Ball. Skill attribute: Summons two thunder balls from the sky to strike the target. Activation cost: 1 stamina point, 2 intelligence points. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Note: Power and number of thunder balls are determined by intelligence and skill level."
"Ding! Apocalypse Jacket lv3. Attribute: +1 to all stats. Durability 3/3, can defend against 3 attacks from monsters bel
After slashing two more level 2 zombies, the area around the gas station was clear of monsters.He was unlucky not to have dropped any items, gaining only exp and gold coins."70/80 exp, almost leveling up."Memphis hesitated for a moment but ultimately discarded the idea of searching for more zombies to kill. Safety was paramount; once safe, he could think further. If he recklessly left the safe zone and encountered a zombie above level 10, he would surely die without a burial place.Returning to the car, Memphis saw Lionel filling a plastic can in the back.
Memphis pushed on for another four days, earning the mission reward and finally overcoming his difficulties.They ran for another five minutes, finally reaching the end of DT2 Road. The next turn led to Greenfield Lane, which intersected with Water Lily Road, where Memphis' house was located.Memphis signaled Lionel to slow down, concentrating on scanning the surroundings to avoid a high-level zombie ambush.Fortunately, there were no high-level zombies on Greenfield Lane. Memphis only saw a few scattered zombies around a black Jeep trapped between two cars on the road."The infection level 1, can turn living beings into their kind.""The infection level 2, can turn living beings into their kind."Only seven or eight low-level zombies were scratching at the vehicle. Luckily, the Jeep was quite sturdy, and although the people inside were terrified, their lives were not in immediate danger.Lionel drove closer, and Memphis jumped out cautiously, instructing Lionel to stay alert while he
The Ford Raptor plowed through, knocking aside seven or eight zombies, quickly reaching a five-story house and stopping.This is Memphis's hostel.He immediately jumped out of the car and instructed his companions:"Lionel, you and Amanda go kill the zombies knocked down by the car. They are less of a threat. I'll handle the rest."The two quickly nodded. Facing intact zombies was still beyond their courage, but attacking the ones with broken limbs was something they could grit their teeth and do.Memphis then walked to the side of the Jeep, glanced at Lionel and Amanda, and spoke to Kiley in a deep voice:"I won't ask you to fight immediately, but you need to be mentally prepared for it. Watch those two as an example, and try to learn from them. In the most critical moments, no one can guarantee your safety and that of the kids except yourself.""You need to have the awareness of humanity in the apocalypse."After saying that, Memphis picked up his machete and charged at the nearest
Memphis squinted, this item came at the right time.He immediately jumped towards the zombie, slashing straight at its arm.The zombie let out a crazed roar, not bothering to dodge, raising its swollen arm to strike."Splat… Splat splat…"The sound of flesh tearing and blood spraying echoed.Memphis, now far stronger than before, had the apocalypse cloak, the strength ring, and skills that increased his resilience. Compared to when he faced the level 8 big-arm zombie at the company's staircase, he was much more powerful. One slash, and even a level 9 zombie couldn’t resist, its arm was immediately severed.Memphis' agility had increased to 15 points, far surpassing this strength-type zombie. It didn’t even have time to react before a blade slashed down, and it was decapitated.One slash, head off!From the fallen zombie's body emerged a skill book, an item card, and a blood-red crystal. Memphis didn’t hurry to pick them up; he swiftly killed the attracted zombies nearby, then turned t
Memphis glanced at the zombie whose head had been blown off, now lying dead on the ground, but his experience points remained at 125/150. He felt a slight disappointment. Although he had anticipated that using firearms might not yield resources, the reality was still a bit of a blow."The plan of leisurely leveling up with a machine gun is ruined..."He couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at the gathering zombies and angrily shouted:"Then you all have to pay the price."A bloody massacre ensued. In three minutes, Memphis killed 19 zombies, gaining 28 experience points and a piece of equipment."Ding! Speed Boots Lv2. Attributes: +3 Agility. Limited item, cannot stack with similar items."Memphis's mouth twitched. Another pair of Speed Boots? This was too unlucky. He couldn't bear the disappointment and immediately sat down to put the boots on over his current shoes.The futile effort brought no increase in agility, only some pain from the tight fit.He had to remove the boots a
Memphis continued his rampage, killing four more zombies and clearing the second floor before dispersing the ice spear."10 stamina, 8 intelligence left."Taking a deep breath and waiting for Kiley to catch up, he spoke in a low voice:"You stay on the second floor. When I call, run up immediately. It shouldn't take more than 2 seconds from the second to the third floor, or we'll all die. Understand?"Kiley shivered and quickly nodded:"Okay, be careful."Memphis raised the machete to shield his chest and cautiously stepped onto the third-floor stairs.Hiss...A level 5 zombie, hearing the noise, turned its rotting face towards him. Memphis's swift slash beheaded it, leaving behind a yellow crystal.Memphis's eyes widened, seeing this for the first time. But there was no time to examine it, as he yelled:"Jarred, now!"Jarred, waiting on the fourth floor, responded loudly. His body visibly enlarged, transforming into a giant over two meters tall with dark, metallic skin. He roared and
A group of five quickly ran down from the third floor. Along the way, blood and corpses were everywhere, scaring Angela and Belinda.Outside, Memphis immediately slashed down several wandering low-level zombies, clearing the area again.Now, they were safe.Lionel and Amanda, seeing Memphis and the others return, sighed in relief, stepping out of the car to greet them.They had heard the intense sounds of battle and lightning, easily imagining the fierce fight.Memphis nodded at Jarred,"This is Lionel and his secretary, Amanda."Jarred introduced himself again, and both sides got acquainted.Memphis pointed to the car hood, saying to Kiley,"Lay out the spoils."Kiley took out all the collected items from her backpack, making everyone’s eyes light up.Quite a lot.The spoils from defeating F1 included two skill books, one item card, and one exp crystal."Ding! Active Skill, Third Tier: Use Calm to Overcome Movement!""Ding! Passive Skill, First Tier: Enhanced Agility!""Ding! Apocaly
Memphis was certainly not the type to act out of benevolence, nor was he a saint who would help anyone in need. He had always been a loner, with few friends, and had no desire to form relationships with anyone, not even wanting to find a girlfriend.The promises he made to Lionel weren’t false, but they weren’t heartfelt either. They were all just part of the plan to complete his mission.As he thought this, he turned to Jarred and asked,"How are you doing?"Jarred paused his conversation with Lionel and grinned,"Just 30 exp away from level 5."Memphis nodded,"Try to reach level 5 as soon as possible."Jarred seemed to ponder this for a moment.Memphis then turned to Lionel and asked,"Lionel, are there any stores or supermarkets near your house?"Lionel responded immediately,"Yes, there are a few.""Good, we won’t have to worry about food. I’m going to sleep for a bit. Wake me when we’re close, or if there’s any danger."Memphis only had 5 points of mental energy left. A short na
