Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 23: Family Dissolved.
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 24: Perfect Plan.
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 25: Divide And Conquer
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 27: Monster Too Powerful!
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 28: Monster Too Powerful! (2)
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 29: Perfect Victory.
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 30: Divide The Spoils Of War
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

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
Chapter 760:
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
Chapter 759:
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
Chapter 757:
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.“
