The dumbest move was trying to preserve its core force but still dividing its troops into three retreat paths instead of concentrating them, ultimately giving Memphis’s team an opportunity to succeed.

It seemed to have realized a few things after today. Tomorrow’s battle would surely be different.

But no matter how it changed, Memphis had already drawn the bow and set the arrow. He had to shoot, no matter what.

After observing for a while longer, he casually encouraged the workers on Sapphire Avenue and then proceeded to patrol Whispering Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.

Soon enough, Memphis found Jarred. He was lounging in an open-top jeep, with Angela Mole and Belinda Palmer nestled on either side of him, snoring loudly as if he was in a deep sleep. His left hand was sneakily inside Angela’s shirt, doing who knows what—there wasn’t a hint of seriousness in his supervision.

Memphis couldn’t help but twitch at the sight, thinking this guy deserved a good beating.

He knocked on the car’s h

    After seeing the tier-two skill taken from him, Jarred couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful. He looked around and asked: “Big brother, how did you manage to use the Transmutation Of The Hermit skill just now?”Memphis casually tossed the Mimicry Ring over to him. Watching Jarred examine it and then slip it onto his pinky finger, Memphis smirked and softly sang: “The moon is bright tonight…”“Alright, alright, I’ll give it back!” Jarred grumbled as he reluctantly handed the level 4 equipment back. Inside, he felt a mix of helplessness and envy towards Memphis.Why was his big brother always so lucky, always drawing the best gear? He already had two pieces of level 4 equipment. In contrast, Jarred’s luck was terrible.He only had eight rings, with the fourth level 3 ring just given to him by Memphis, and the rest were all level 2. It was really quite pitiful.Memphis covered his mouth as he yawned, then casually asked: “Little Silent, what do you think is the most beautiful number?”S

    Yosef nodded and then cautiously added: “Captain Jackman, the enemy is currently moving through a border area, which is relatively open with few fortifications…”This meant that their interception mission would be more difficult, their positions would be more easily exposed, and the level of danger would be significantly higher.Memphis quickly thought and then asked:"How are the speed-type zombies arranged?"These were the most threatening on the battlefield. The threat posed by speed-type zombies to humans was far greater than that of strength-type or defense-type zombies.Yosef took out another report and said:"Specifically, they are distributed like this... Additionally, there are..."Memphis looked at the report in his hand and sighed inwardly.The mastermind behind this was indeed like an 8 or 9-year-old child, seemingly suffering from severe OCD.If the distribution of forces was different, he would have to think very carefully about the interception actions, but now he could

    Memphis raised his binoculars and saw a massive swarm of heads advancing from afar.The horde of over 30,000 zombies was slowly inching towards them. The outer ring was filled with low-level zombies like ants, followed by mid-level zombies of levels 7, 8, and 9.At the center of the formation were towering strength-type zombies, some 2.5, some 2.8 meters tall, and some over 3 meters."Ding! Strength-type level 13...""Ding! Strength-type level 17...""Ding! Strength-type level 21...""Ding! Strength-type level 24...""Ding! Strength-type level 25...""Ding! Strength-type..."Memphis noticed two incredibly powerful entities standing side by side, one of them being a level 25 strength-type zombie—the highest level among them. Its mouth was lined with four long tubes that dangled down to its chest, and its bald head, as large as a 20-liter water tank, was crisscrossed with bulging veins. Surrounding them were numerous other strength-type zombies, forming a large circle.Beyond the ring o

    Boom!Memphis’s 1-meter-tall ice puppet detonated violently. The explosion sent a wave of freezing air and icy debris spreading five meters wide, engulfing a section of the S9 road."Grekk…kkk…"The level 15 speed-type zombie behind didn’t expect a trap and couldn’t change direction in time. It plunged straight into the icy blast. The enhanced level 3 skill's ice storm wasn’t easy to withstand, and its speed dropped significantly.By the time it emerged from the icy mist, its body was covered in a thick layer of frost.At that very moment, from a distance, the cold sound of a sniper rifle suddenly rang out.Bang!The demon-slaying bullet crossed an infinite space, carrying a pitch-black light as it shot forward, appearing in an instant right before F1's forehead, then with a "thud” it pierced through.Whoosh!Black flames surged fiercely, and F1's level 15 body quickly ignited and turned into a pile of ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.Its defense was too weak, and its level

    Memphis coldly observed through the observation slit, then drew out a level 4 demon-slaying gun and aimed it outside. At the same time, he focused his mind and activated:"Mind Shatter!"A strange wave of mental energy, with 10 intelligence points, swept towards the speed-type zombie, followed by a loud bang as the demon-slaying bullet shot out at an unimaginable speed, hitting the F2's throat with a "thud.""Kheezzee Kheezzee..."The F2 clutched its throat and let out a mournful cry as the force of the bullet sent it flying backward. Before it could hit the grou

    After 15 minutes of rest, Memphis spoke in a deep voice:"We'll try once or twice more, but this time we have to force them to split up. I'll take on the task of drawing the main enemy forces, and you focus on disrupting them.""Understood!"After reviewing the plan one last time, the armored vehicle sped towards Sunset Boulevard.When they reached the intersection of S9, Sapphire, and Sunset Boulevard, Memphis jumped out of the armored vehicle, followed closely by Kathy.She observed the surroundings for a moment and pointed to a large bush on Sapphire Road, saying:"Over there."Memphis calculated quickly.The distance from this intersection to the bush was about 500 meters, and from the intersection to the outer perimeter of the undead horde was roughly 200 meters, with another 500 meters from the perimeter to the center. This meant that the distance between the horde and Kathy was over a kilometer.She might survive this."Alright, let's proceed."At his command, the armored vehic

    Hidden within the bushes, Kathy was concealed by her second-tier Light Armor skill and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Soon after, thick blood flowed from her ears, eyes, and nose. Her Light Armor could only block a fraction of the power from the psychic attack, and she only managed to glimpse a naked figure leaping toward her before she completely lost consciousness.The naked figure was a clone summoned by Moonlight Reflection, Memphis’s skill. The clone grabbed Kathy and her sniper rifle, and with level 13 speed, it quickly ran along Sapphire Boulevard toward Hope Town.Meanwhile, the real Memphis was retreating while controlling the ice zombies to hold off the enemies. Although the ice zombies were strong, the number of enemies was overwhelming. The two ice zombies, with their backs to each other, temporarily managed to fend off the agile creatures."Grekkkk..."The level 23 F2 zombie closed in, swinging a clawed hand with a bang, smashing the head of the first ice zo

    A nurse nervously watching Dr. Beirne, hesitantly asked:"Doctor, what happened to her? And... what happened to the leader?"She had just seen Memphis running around naked, which was a shocking sight in the middle of a battle.Dr. Beirne, gritting his teeth, replied:"It must have been some strange zombie spell that stripped him of his clothes... Don't worry about that. Bring over the Good Medicine and the mutated chili leaves."Good Medicine was a second-tier healing skill, and the mutated chili leaves could enhance recovery points.The frontlines of the battlefield. Two ice golems had been reduced to a mere 2.5 meters tall, surrounded by five speed zombies and three strength zombies, fiercely attacking them.The main threat was the F2-level 23 zombie, seemingly with endless stamina, striking left and right with countless blows, repeatedly shattering the heads of the ice golems.But the ice golems, despite having their heads smashed, weren't to be underestimated. Even as their heads

    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

    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

    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

    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.“
