"Later, when Valiant brought information from the Lakeside County survivor outpost, I completely lost faith in the government. They only cared about saving the descendants of leaders and had no regard for the lives of ordinary people."
"At that moment, I thought: I must save myself, I must not rely on anyone else."
"And with the system's mission requiring me to gather and save survivors, I became even more determined to build a safe place to save myself."
"But I knew, out of ten people, nine wouldn't believe I could do it, wouldn't believe I could create a safe, healthy

Wallflower Armstrong was not intimidated by this expression, she calmly said:"Your thoughts of killing, though present in your mind, are not genuine. Memphis, women don't need mind-reading skills to understand many thoughts; it's an instinct we had even before the apocalypse."Facing a woman who not only had mind-reading abilities but also sharp instincts, Memphis finally conceded, raising his hand and said:"Then the armory in Meadowbrook Lane will have to do."Wallflower still shook her head firmly:"Impossible!"Memphis gritted his teeth and said:"You should know, I can ask Yosef!"Wallflower replied calmly:"Feel free to ask. The armory he knows about is at the headquarters of the 531st Battalion, which is located at the border between Renaissance and Lakeside, only about 7 kilometers from the center of Lakeside."Upon hearing this, Memphis' face turned very unpleasant.Valiant had mentioned that the government of Lakeside had seized weapons at a battalion, likely the 531st Batt

This location was about a kilometer from Hope Town.Zombies were still swarming, but most of the zombies below level 5 were staring in one direction.The direction of Meadowbrook Lane's center.Running for another 500 meters, he began to notice that zombies from level 9 and below were starting to look dazed, while those from levels 1 and 2 were slowly inching towards the center."Damn it..."Taking a deep breath to quell the sense of urgency, Memphis looked up at the sky.The half-moon still hung high.He gently recited in his heart:"Moonlight Reflection."This was the activation of moonlight absorption.The moment the skill was activated, Memphis felt a slight buoyancy, and then the moonlight in the sky seemed to become brighter, more substantial, like a silver wave slowly enveloping him.It felt very comfortable, as if he were truly bathing in the moonlight.He also felt a strange energy gradually accumulating in his body, but no matter how much he tried to understand it, he couldn

Seeing Memphis had been there since early, his body glistening with sweat, they couldn't help but admire him a little.This leader had no concept of enjoyment. Even though Hope Town looked safe, he showed no signs of rest or relaxation.They instructed their team members to salute properly, and Memphis casually returned the gesture.Troublesome, so troublesome. If there was a chance, he would teach that projection proper etiquette and then let it replace him.He then moved on to gun practice.Although he didn't want others wasting bullets on targets, Memphis still gave himself the right to shoot at targets.He wanted to regain the feel of shooting, to find again the sense of targeting after years of stagnation due to pig farming, watering plants, and typing at a keyboard.Bang... Bang... Bang...Gunshots occasionally rang out, and Memphis's shooting skills gradually improved.Of course, the improvement was mostly horizontal, sometimes even dipping downward."Your hand posture is wrong

After sending off the two troublemakers, Memphis finally had time for personal hygiene, then carried the level 3 Black Iron Staff slowly to the dining hall.In the early morning, the canteen was mostly empty. Most people didn't start fighting zombies until 7 am, and Memphis was usually quite relaxed about the rules, not requiring collective meals. So, the squad leaders lazily opted for room service.Jarred, a glutton, had already been there, currently engaged in a heated argument with the kitchen staff about why there was no dog meat on the menu.Watching this scene, Memphis couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He raised his Black Iron Staff and struck down hard, shouting loudly:"Kid, take a hit."Jarred, startled, turned around to see the black staff coming at him. He quickly dodged to the side.Jarred's dodge made Memphis miss, and the staff, with great force, smashed through the wall.Even the wooden door nearby was shattered by the blow.Seeing this, Jarred laughed heartily:"A sm
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 208: Commander Jackman Is Amazing!
After pushing this matter aside, breakfast was quickly finished.Memphis and Jarred went to the meeting room, where several squad leaders were already preparing.Seeing the leader and deputy leader arrive, they quickly stood up to greet them.Yosef took out an A4 sheet, handed it over, and said:"Captain Jackman, this is the outline of the plan."Memphis took it and carefully reviewed it.After receiving the map and information on the various types of zombies, Yosef quickly sketched out three different operational plans.This was his profession.As Memphis read through the document, the squad leaders quickly assembled.At exactly 6:30, the morning meeting began.One could say that Hope Town held meetings even more frequently than Parliament. But it couldn't be helped; in a world of anomalies, each day was completely different from the last.Each team member received tactical sketches to help them understand the situation.Then came discussions on application plans, with detailed adjus
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 209: Zombie Tide!
A 12-year-old boy in the crowd suddenly burst into tears:"My father was injured fighting zombies and lost his arm. Without the military clinic's treatment, he would have died..."Someone immediately asked:"Wolf, how's your father now?"Wolf Scott sniffled and said:"The commander said the treatment costs would be free and personally gave my father 10 kilos of food. He also ensured that during his recovery, my father would maintain official member benefits..."Hearing this, those around started to buzz with conversation.Commander Jackman was too good. Even wounded soldiers who lost their combat ability still received benefits. What more could one ask for?If you weren't a combat team member, you'd have to buy medicine with your own contributions if you got sick. And without the ability to work, you wouldn't earn contributions, which meant you'd end up eating relief porridge.If you didn't join the military, you'd face a death spiral. Just getting sick meant slowly starving to death.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 210: Smooth Coordination.
After being summoned, the five ice zombies let out a few hoarse roars before charging straight ahead.Memphis suddenly sighed; the automatic tier-three skill Refining Spirit had just drained 4 stamina, restoring 20 intelligence.It truly was a devastating recovery weapon.Next to Memphis, five or six team members with various long-range attacks were also casting their skills. In an instant, fire blades, lightning balls, water bombs, and earth spikes were launched.Gemma, having consumed the mutant chili pepper, had her blade aura skill upgraded to tier two, and even her physical attributes were enhanced. She slashed out twice, sending two 2-meter-long blade auras flying towards the horde.Under a barrage of combined physical and magical attacks, the slowly moving zombie horde was suddenly battered. Apart from the elite zombies, the lower-level zombies at the rear were slaughtered mercilessly.Those not killed by system attacks were torn to pieces by the hail of bullets.A level 14 F1,

With the activation of this level 3 skill, Wylie suddenly disappeared.One second later, he reappeared, with a claw mark tearing through his bulletproof vest.If it weren't for the bulletproof equipment Memphis had brought back in time, he would have been torn apart. Even with the level 2 Zombie Transformation skill, his guts would have been ripped out.Wylie's face was pale as he looked far away. He had just assassinated the nimble short zombie, but it had nearly exhausted his stamina.Assassination wasn't so easily successful. In that one second, he and the target had exchanged two blows, and if not for the element of surprise, he would have been counterattacked to death."Damn, it's only been nearly 50 minutes, and I'm already exhausted..."Jarred shouted roughly:"Dante, fire the 12.7mm again!"Dante Mole manning the armored vehicle, gritted his teeth and continued squeezing the machine gun trigger.The 12.7mm bullets were a deadly weapon, shredding even strength zombies into piec

With his extensive knowledge of the extraordinary, Memphis quickly came to a conclusion about Big Black Dog:"Evolution?"The dog was currently at Level 29. It had consumed vast quantities of magical crystals, potions, zombie flesh, and countless extraordinary treasures. If it didn’t evolve after all that, it would truly be a disgrace to its lineage.Big Black Dog’s evolution delighted Memphis. If this dumb dog broke through to Level 30, Hope Town would finally have a true powerhouse. Be it mutated snakes or frogs, one strike would flatten them.Moreover, the fact that the dog chose to evolve here, without any concern for external dangers, indicated its absolute trust in the safety of this area.Both Shaina and Big Black Dog had, in their own ways, demonstrated their trust in Hope Town’s security on the same day. It was a good omen.Jarred, standing anxiously nearby, couldn’t help but ask nervously after seeing his boss bark and receive no response from the pet:"Boss, what’s wrong wi
Chapter 761:
In Hope Town, those who were soft and delicate often chose lighter roles. Few made it to the ranks of official soldiers by Day 25 of the apocalypse, as the path was grueling, taxing both physically and mentally, often at the expense of one’s appearance.Pressed under the immense aura radiating from Memphis, Paula bit her lip and decisively raised her hand. In her palm spun five rapidly rotating fire blades, a sign of her determination to try rather than retreat.Seeing her resolve, the onlookers grew attentive, their anticipation palpable.The five second-tier Fire Blades in Paula’s hand began spinning faster, showing signs of merging into a single, cohesive fiery wheel.However, courage couldn’t quell her nerves. The Fire Wheel was uneven, fluctuating between cohesion and separation, on the verge of exploding prematurely.Osiris grew agitated, nearly shouting in frustration. Memphis, on the other hand, merely furrowed his brows slightly and instructed calmly:"Release it."Whoosh.Pa

At this moment, he swung his hand forward, sending the half-meter Fire Wheel hurtling toward the wooden dummy stationed at the enemy's position. Upon impact, it exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing eight massive arcs of fire that engulfed a 40-meter radius in a fiery inferno.The continuous burning effect became evident. Even in the barren clearing, where nothing substantial remained, flames roared with increasing intensity. Each second saw the fire spreading wider, melting sand and gravel into molten sludge. The fiery devastation painted the sky crimson with its overwhelming heat.The surrounding team members watched the scene in stunned silence, their bodies trembling. If such an attack were directed at them, there would be no escape—they’d be reduced to charred remains in seconds.Osiris pointed at the massive blaze in the distance and said:"This is nearly the maximum power of the third-tier Fire Blade that I can unleash. Both the inward compression and outward release forms

Once connected, he followed Osiris's steps, using his willpower to continuously enhance his control over the skill.After ten seconds, the Fire Blade indeed shrank in size, turned blue, increased in pressure, and spun twice as fast as before.Seeing this, the team member grinned widely and laughed: “It works! Haha, it works! I did it!"However, as he laughed, the fiery blade began to wobble uncontrollably. Within moments, it lost its compressed state with a faint puff and reverted to normal—even showing signs of extinguishing.Osiris, witnessing this, roared angrily: “Focus! Stay focused! Damn it, do you want to kill someone? If you release a half-baked compressed strike, it's more dangerous than a basic attack. It might even explode on the spot! You're training, not fooling around—what the hell are you laughing about?"His frustration was justified. Osiris had endured countless explosions while perfecting Fire Wheel, and the mere thought of it triggered his lingering trauma.Luckily,
Chapter 758:
Osiris wanted those wielding Fire Blade to master the skill to the point where the first dummy could burn entirely without the second dummy being affected by the "continuous burning" effect.Why? So that melee fighters working alongside ranged attackers wouldn’t be hindered by friendly fire, wouldn’t fear being accidentally struck, and wouldn’t be obstructed by or trapped behind flaming zombies.The official member who had just been scolded by Osiris failed this test. His Fire Blade strike produced six flaming blades. Five ignited the first dummy, while one mistakenly hit the second dummy, reducing both to ashes.If the second dummy had been a melee teammate fighting on the front lines, it would have been a case of accidental manslaughter.At this point, Osiris stepped into the training area. The logistics crew, understanding his intentions, quickly replaced the burnt dummies with two fresh ones, setting them up within the target circle.The new dummies were placed just 15 cm apart. N

Setting aside the reconnaissance report, Memphis turned to two documents on his desk. One was a criminal wanted notice from Harbor Line District, with Gemma’s name prominently listed, and the other was a communique regarding facilitating contact for the relatives of surviving residents.After a careful 10-minute review, Memphis assigned two tasks to Amanda for execution.The final item on his evening agenda was reviewing the combat footage of Jarred versus the mutated snake.Picking up the video recorder, Memphis yawned as he played back the scene of a two-legged human and a legless reptile locked in an intense chase."This snake looks pretty strong…”"Is this a water snake?”“Spitting venom like that... nasty.”“Damn, it’s fast as hell…”“If it were chasing me, I’d be screwed immediately…”“What? That Void Strike, a fourth-tier skill, is insane…”“I wonder how snake meat tastes…”“Grilled, it tastes grilled. Boiled, it tastes boiled…”“I’ve heard snake-infused liquor is excellent…”“

The consequences were too severe for anyone to risk. Even the most greedy wouldn’t dare.And for those thinking they could abscond with the skill? Escape where? Lakeside? That was laughable. How far could they run? For how long?Memphis activated the gray-white skill, carefully focusing on it. In an instant, a mechanical system voice echoed in his ears:"Ding! Fourth-tier active skill: 'Tiger Lost in the Plains.' Skill attribute: Creates a suppression zone with a 10-meter radius around the user. Enemies entering this zone cannot deal critical damage to the user and take an additional 10-30% random damage from the user's attacks. Skill consumption: 10 stamina, 5 intellect. Skill duration: 10 seconds. Skill cooldown: 60 seconds. Can be enhanced and advanced."As the mechanical voice faded, Memphis couldn't help but feel an odd expression crossing his face."Seriously, how can a skill name sound this 'dramatic'?""'Tiger Lost in the Plains'—clearly derived from the idiom 'A tiger humbled
Chapter 755:
In the world of the underworld, one’s fate isn’t entirely their own.In the world of skills, abilities aren’t entirely one’s own.In the world of zombies, existence isn’t entirely their own.These days, even being a zombie isn’t easy.Zombies must endure various constraints, unable to "live" as they please.Even if they remain still, they instinctively feel hunger and are driven to seek humans to devour. Once they find humans, they risk being destroyed. Even if they don’t actively hunt, humans will seek them out to kill, drawn by the experience and resources they carry. Their very existence is intrinsically tied to the underworld.If there’s no food, they can starve, hiding lazily in backyards without provoking anyone. They could choose to avoid the world, gaze at the sky and ground, and resolve to be kind and virtuous zombies. But even then, they aren’t free. Zombies that sit quietly like tame dogs will still be dragged off by Manipulation Types to act as errand runners, unaware of w
Chapter 754:
The zombie-attracting waves emitted by the Manipulation Type, Manipulate M3 Dragon Light, were expanding. Its ability to replenish its forces suggested its war machine’s sustainability, with no risk of depleting resources.The report ended there, leaving Memphis deep in thought, his brows tightly knitted.With its current arsenal, Hope Town was unlikely to withstand the 110,000-strong zombie horde.The Soul Suppression attacks from M3 had an exceptionally long range. Meanwhile, Hope Town’s long-range firepower consisted of only three 2a28 Grom cannons, which were far too sparse. The remaining weaponry lacked sufficient range, forcing them into mid- or close-range combat—a perilous endeavor.“
