After healing Memphis, Amanda's face turned slightly pale, and she was suddenly overcome with drowsiness. She gave a weak smile of apology before returning to the car.Memphis felt a bit awkward, wondering if the woman could read his mind and had picked up on his strange thoughts.Putting the suspicion aside, Memphis got to work with the others, moving the blocking cars out of the way. After another 10 minutes, the convoy resumed its journey.This time, there were no more traffic jams. The two cars plowed through a few low-level zombies, speeding towards the Sunset Boulevard neighborhood.As they got closer to home, Lionel's anxiety and anticipation grew. He had elderly parents and a daughter. Although he often got distracted by romantic interests, his care and concern for his parents and daughter were paramount.The cars stopped in front of a large three-story house, and Lionel saw a few zombies lingering near the entrance. His heart sank.Even though he could tell at a glance that t
Half an hour later, everyone was gathered in the living room.Memphis looked at everyone seriously and slowly said,"We are far from safe. This urban area has at least 5,000 residents. Even if only half of them have turned into zombies, it’s enough to annihilate the rest. Forty minutes ago, Jarred and I cleared the zombies within a 50-meter radius, but now more zombies have gathered outside, including high-level ones."Everyone in the room fell silent. They knew Memphis’s scenario was the best-case one. In reality, it was likely that seven, maybe even eight or nine out of ten residents had become zombies.If they were overly optimistic without a proper response plan, there would come a day when they’d open their eyes to see zombies and breathe in the stench of corpses.Not to mention, the availability of essential supplies was uncertain. If they didn't get eaten, they might starve to death.The children, too young to fully grasp the situation, were already restless and anxious, hungry
Seeing this, Memphis calmly spoke as if he had already prepared:"Amanda, you have the weakest combat ability, but you also have some experience fighting zombies, so you won't lose your composure in the face of danger. You will stay and guard the place."Amanda opened her mouth to protest but eventually nodded.As for her combat skills? Even though she was level 3, she was probably no more effective than Lionel, who was level 2.Memphis continued:"You stay and keep watch. If anyone calls at the door and it's not us, do not open it."Amanda agreed without hesitation. In this apocalyptic time, humans could be more frightening than zombies.Next, Memphis laid out a detailed plan for gathering resources, assigning tasks and roles, discussing the process, and planning the completion. Lionel, Jarred, and others contributed their ideas, gradually forming a relatively comprehensive plan."Food's ready!"The cheerful voice from the kitchen interrupted their discussion.Steaming white rice, ho
The next morning.Memphis got up early, feeling fully recharged in both physical and mental energy, but Amanda was already up. She knew several people would be going out to gather supplies today, so she wanted to prepare breakfast.After everyone woke up and had eaten, they discussed and refined the plan once more.Zoran, being a man, quickly volunteered to join the team after familiarizing himself with the group.He was eager to gain strength.Thus, this time the a
Lionel clenched his teeth tightly. His survival instincts told him that the monster behind them was extremely dangerous. If he abandoned the four others to it, he could press the gas pedal hard and escape, leaving Memphis's scolding behind. He could then safely return to his daughter Mary Hester.But after a moment of hesitation, he remembered last night's conversation, the calm yet determined and cold look in Memphis's eyes, and how Kiley and Jarred had fought off monsters to protect him from death. He turned the steering wheel 180 degrees, making the truck loop around and head straight back.Memphis pulled a skill book from his backpack, threw it to Zoran beside him, and said sternly: “Learn this immediately. When the car stops, use the skill and ai
Its defense was incredibly formidable. If it were another monster touched by Memphis's white mist, it would have long been frozen and shattered into powder. Yet, this creature could still endure.Just as it was about to strike Jarred, its danger instincts kicked in, causing it to shift slightly.Boom! Boom!Two explosive sounds echoed in succession, and two lightning balls appeared out of nowhere, hitting E1, crackling with electricity on its left shoulder, emitting zigzagging sparks.Two large fist-sized holes appeared on E1's shoulder, with lightning crackling
Kiley, Zoran, and Lionel’s faces were frozen in shock. How could they block such an attack? Could it be… was Memphis about to be killed?Jarred swallowed hard, his heart filled with worry and fear.Memphis stood directly in the center of the attack, but no matter how much chaos raged around him, his golden eyes remained calm.There was no sign of discomfort or pain, not even a hint of external impact.He only felt as if a dense reservoir of energy was rapidly accumulating inside him. Each punch from E1 was absorbed, compressed by the golden light around his body, and then stored in that energy reservoir.5… 4… 3… 2…The devourer’s attacks began to slow down, but the power behind them continued to increase. It took a step back, clenched its fist, and poured all its strength into this one attack, aiming to crush the human beneath it.Its fist, like a supersonic missile, whistled straight towards Memphis's head.BOOM……….The deafening sound was like a bomb exploding. Jarred and the other
Jarred scratched his head for a long time, swallowed hard, and then pointed at the Transforming Weapon."I want this one."His combat style relied heavily on physical confrontation and brute force. With this skill, he could transform his fists into daggers, spiked clubs, or his feet into bayonets, making his kicks extremely lethal. Compared to Super Recovery, his Giant Transformation already provided substantial defense, making him less likely to suffer severe injuries."Alright, I'll take the other one."Memphis picked up the three-tier skill book, Super Recovery, and without hesitation, learned it.He preferred this skill over Transforming Weapon. His future combat style would rely more on consuming intelligence to form ice, making close combat less suitable for him.A glow entered Memphis's body, rapidly enhancing his stamina and recovery.He then pointed at the advanced card."I want this."To him, this item was even more important than the three-tier skill Super Recovery. His ice
