As soon as Cormac heard words like "converging”, "gathering”, and "hill”, a term he had been desperately searching for flashed in his mind:"Heavenly treasure."That could very well be the key to his mission!He hurriedly asked:"Second brother, where are you? I’ll bring the troops to support you immediately."Graham quickly replied from the other end:"We’re in Evergreen Village, about 6 kilometers east of our base..."Cormac laughed heartily and said:"Good, second brother, you’ve done a great service. Wait a bit, I’m on my way..."He hung up the call right after, eager to gather his forces and head out to investigate the "heavenly treasure."On the other end, Graham stared at the disconnected signal, a bit dumbfounded, as he hadn’t had a chance to report Wally’s group’s situation.Next to him were two cars with over a dozen men, their faces twisted in agony as they lay dead, blood oozing from their eyes, noses, and mouths—a truly gruesome scene."I don’t even know how they died...
Memphis had a purpose in providing Amanda with two second-tier skills. With these skills, she would have additional tools to win people’s loyalty. A person saved at a critical moment would be eternally grateful.Amanda was considered trustworthy enough, and Memphis decided to “use” her without hesitation.Especially in the current situation, he hadn't found anyone more trustworthy than Amanda.Wallflower and Amanda—one untrustworthy, the other relatively trustworthy.But in the dire straits of war, both had to be used, regardless of trust.After encouraging some injured soldiers and distributing food vouchers to them, Memphis left the medical room and went to a well-guarded house next to the supply warehouse.This was where the mutated chili was grown.Seeing Memphis approach, the guards quickly saluted:“Leader.”“Leader.”Memphis gave a cursory response and walked straight inside.Inside, there was a massive container modified into a tank, filled with countless corpses of zombies ov
"It's the one! Where is it exactly?"Yosef maneuvered the drone in a circle and then calculated, confidently stating:"Branch T32 on Sunset Boulevard. To get there, you'll have to pass through three intersections and... the total distance is about 1.3 kilometers."For a seasoned officer like him, knowing the terrain after a single glance was second nature.Memphis glanced at Kathy and asked: “Are you ready?"Kathy began assembling her AWM sniper rifle. After a short while, she responded seriously: “I'm ready."Memphis was about to initiate the operation but paused. He pulled out a level 4 demon-slaying bullet from his gun, handed it to Kathy, and asked: “Will this fit your sniper rifle?"Kathy took the 7.62mm bullet, weighed it in her hand, and replied: “No. This is a 7.62 x 39mm bullet. The AWM uses 7.62 x 56mm rounds. They have the same diameter but different lengths; it won't even fit into the magazine."Memphis, thinking of scenes from action movies, stubbornly suggested: “Try loa
Memphis's shooting skills were abysmal, yet the high-level zombies could still sense the killing intent and hostility emanating from him."Grekkkkkk...""Grakkk...""Kheezzee..."Three or four zombies simultaneously let out bloodthirsty roars. Two speed-type zombies immediately turned and locked their eyes on him, then sprang forward with a powerful leap.Three strength-type zombies also began to turn and attack.They intended to kill the one provoking them.Especially the F2 level 25, which was even more enraged. It had failed to kill Memphis earlier, and now, seeing its prey reappear, there was no way it would let him go. Its massive leg stomped against a wall, accelerating its speed to over 80 points, as its claws extended straight for Memphis’s throat.Seeing the target, Memphis wasn’t afraid; instead, he was overjoyed. He pulled a grenade from his side, pulled the pin, and threw three grenades in quick succession to block the path, then turned and ran."I killed someone!"His des
The level gap between them was too great, and even their abilities weren’t as effective as they should have been.It was like a child trying to chop down a tree with an axe—good for a banana tree, but nearly impossible if the tree turned into solid wood, no matter how sharp the axe was.F2 was not to be underestimated. The purple light on its body and the innate abilities from the meat puppet on its back allowed it to break free from the dual confinement.At this moment, two 3.5-meter-tall ice slaves appeared out of nowhere. They sprang towards F2 from the left and right, their large bodies closing in like two massive pincers. Their four hands locked tightly, enclosing the speed entity in place.It was like an ice cage trapping a beast."Grekkkk..."The speed entity frantically clawed out, its half-meter-long claws slashing through the air. In just a few swipes, it had severed an arm and a leg from the ice slave. Even with the Valor skill, the ice slave could not withstand the relentl
The hill wasn't very high, but it was swarming with zombies from the top to the slopes, numbering in the tens of thousands.Among them were P1, F1 zombies, and even a towering P2 zombie over 3 meters tall. But they were not moving, more like they were quietly waiting for something.Seeing this scene, Cormac's scalp tingled. He wasn't confident they could eliminate these zombies without using all the forces from Sunny Hills. But their unusual behavior only confirmed his suspicion.There must be a treasure. They must be guarding a treasure. Why else would they be gathering and waiting for something?Cormac thought quickly and gave the order:"Fall back, let's try attacking from a distance first."…Meadowbrook Lane County Center.This was the large square at the county committee, now filled with a vast horde of zombies, a sight of blackened decay, oozing corpses, and bloodthirsty growls that reverberated through the area. They were arranged in three large concentric circles, stretching
Memphis took the A4 sheet, which contained a rough map and several symbols. After reading it, he folded the paper and sighed."They’re learning quickly..."The mastermind had changed tactics, switching to a strategy of sacrificing pawns to protect the king. It was maneuvering a large number of high-level zombies, over level 8, to retreat quickly to Meadowbrook Lane's center, leaving the weaker zombies behind to slow down the pursuit. Not only that, but these high-level zombies were now moving in groups of dozens, with level 15 or 16 zombies leading and guarding them, no longer scattered in twos or threes as before.The current situation with the zombie horde is both good and bad for them.The good thing is that the threat of the zombie horde to low-level members and new recruits is minimized. Without high-level zombies covering the rear, the low-level zombies pose almost no significant danger.The bad thing, however, is the challenge it presents to members from level 5 and up. They ne
The ice orb hovered slightly above his hand, emitting intense, milky-white cold air, carrying an aura so chilling it seemed capable of freezing everything.Nearby team members chattered their teeth in fear, eyes wide with terror as they watched their leader. What kind of technique was this, and why did it feel so terrifying?Gemma collapsed onto the roof, her body completely drained. She had used mutated chili peppers, learned five second-tier skills, and mastered seven or eight first-tier skills. Her current strength was second only to Wylie’s, possibly even on par with Allan, who possessed a third-tier skill. Yet, facing Memphis, who appeared only three levels higher, she felt utterly powerless.
