After some internal struggle, weighing the pros and cons, he asked:"Why do you want this skill?"Wallflower calmly replied:"I'll use my intelligence points to restore Kathy's stamina, so she can maintain the protective shield against outside attacks, keeping us both safe."Her answer made Memphis feel strange.It's a good strategy... But why does it feel like a turtle retracting into its shell?These two women were indeed afraid of death.He quickly dismissed his irrelevant thoughts and slowly said:"It's not impossible to give it to you, but you must promise to restore my stamina for free when I need it."Wallflower promptly replied:"Agreed, but only if I'm not in a dangerous situation at the time.""Truly a cowardly rabbit..."Memphis inwardly scoffed. This woman was funny; if Hope Town were overrun, even ten consecutive uses of Regeneration wouldn't be enough stamina to escape. If Hope Town wasn't overrun, having ten of these skills wouldn't make a difference.Daily training was
Memphis assessed its value at 300 contribution points. Although it was only a level 2 item, its stats would make any extraordinary individual desire it.High agility meant running fast, striking fast, reacting fast, gaining the upper hand in everything.Although Memphis couldn’t wear it, he was still pleased.This item, kept until next month, could increase in value to 1000 contribution points, maybe more.Next, Bridget prayed again and opened a golden sheet of paper about the size of a hand.Memphis eagerly took it from her to examine."Ding! Level 3 Thought Paper. Can create three most impressive images in the subconscious! Creation time: 12h. Three times a day.""Huh? Subconscious? Previously it was the mind, the soul, now it's the subconscious? How many types are there?"Holding the golden paper, he pondered. Though it was a level 3 item, it provided no additional stats, similar to the level 4 demon-slaying gun. The material seemed to be made from the skin of some beast...As he w
After seeing off the two maids with their teapots, Memphis reached under the bed to pull out a box.Carefully inspecting it, he noticed that there were no signs of tampering; the tiny hair he used as a marker was undisturbed.Seeing this, he smirked to himself."Quite patient, aren't they?"Throwing the metal box back in its place, Memphis adjusted the night vision goggles on his eyes, then turned and reached for the wall.His hand passed right through it.Two seconds later, he appeared outside in the spacious yard.First-tier penetration skill.At night, Hope Town was both dark and silent, with only faint lights from a few areas like the resource storage room, the seed cultivation area, the officers' quarters, and the main gate of the base.Memphis glanced briefly, then sprang northwest.After a few leaps, he stood firmly on the city wall.Jarred was there waiting, chewing something slowly, seeming to enjoy it.Seeing someone approach, Jarred hastily stuffed the food into his mouth.
Although Memphis wanted to wait until level 12 to add a third-tier ice manipulation skill, time wasn't on his side. In this world, he wasn't the only one who could level up; prolonging it might allow the power entity P2 to jump several levels. Then he'd be doomed.Moreover, the zombies around Hope Town had been significantly cleared, finding a horde of nearly 2000 zombies wasn't easy. If there were, it would likely be in the direction of Meadowbrook Lane County center.And right now, he didn't want to provoke the figure behind the scenes.The night hunt of the two brothers was both a desperate level-up and a risky probe.Fortunately, the hunting process went smoothly, they leveled up successfully and returned safely.Thinking it through, Memphis quickly finished his shower, then put on his pajamas and climbed into bed, pulling the blanket over him.He needed to rest well to have the energy for the big battle tomorrow.A moment later, he woke up again, ran to the bathroom, and brought
Before long, the convoy reached the front line. This place had a deep pit, 5 meters deep, 6 meters long, and 5 meters wide. The sides of the pit were vertical with no foothold.Memphis glanced around, then turned to Jarred:"Lead the troops to the supermarket. If you feel the pressure on your body increase, retreat immediately. We only try to push forward as much as possible."Jarred responded seriously:"Got it, leave it to me."After Jarred led the troops away, Memphis ordered the labor team:"Prepare the battlefield!"Following his orders, the labor team members enthusiastically stepped forward, taking tools from the cargo trucks and setting up according to the plan.Standing beside Memphis was Zeth.This middle-aged man was a chemical engineer, obsessed with finding his family trapped in the city. Memphis still remembered his promise to help find Zeth's family in the Cedar Creek apartment complex, Mountain View area in the east.Zeth was the one who advised him on using saltwater
Memphis nodded indifferently:"Proceed according to the plan."He paused for a moment, then slowly continued:"If this mission succeeds, find eight team members ready to go out and hunt zombies."Hearing this decision from Memphis, Dante was nearly moved to tears.He had been "imprisoned" long enough, and today he finally had the chance to start his leveling process."Yes, sir."Memphis casually responded, then squinted at a person holding an MP5A3 gun beside him.A team member marked "green" in Amanda's report.A person with a 9-year-old sister.If anyone dared to flee during battle, if Dante dared to resist, that MP5A3 would unhesitatingly fire at them.After inspecting the area, Memphis returned to the combat position, directly overseeing the preparations.Their plan was already like an arrow on the bowstring, today would be the day to release it. They had no choice but to shoot.More than three hours later, Jarred led the main combat team back. He set aside his usual playful demea
Those were Jarred's underwear, requisitioned by Memphis for use as bait.Wylie Rawson's face twisted in distress as he took the underwear, his mouth twitching as he replied:"I understand..."Memphis didn't linger, lightly pushed off with his legs, and transformed into a beam of light, jumping onto the roof of a two-story building.Wylie didn't dare delay, quickly following suit.He was a pure speed-type extraordinary person, catching up to Memphis with ease.
Wylie Rawson ran for his life, those 15 seconds and 400 meters were the most painful moments of his existence. Seeing the silhouette of Jarred ahead, he desperately shouted:"Sir Jarred, save me!"From all around the surrounding buildings, over 20 team members finally saw Wylie's figure along with the creature chasing him.It was a humanoid creature over 3 meters tall, with jagged bones protruding all over its body. Its head was as big as a 20-liter water jug, covered in greasy hair, with limbs thicker than elephant legs, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth, and four long, hairy tubes hanging down to its chest.A monster.Those were the first words that came to mind.Too powerful.Those were the second words that appeared.Impossible to defeat.Those were the final words.A deep sense of crisis instantly enveloped their minds, making even their hands holding guns and knives tremble.This creature was unbeatable.At that moment, a heavy feeling suddenly engulfed all the team members, as i
