2024-08-12 01:01:16This was the second-grade enhanced sword aura skill. If Wylie had learned the first-grade version earlier, he would have missed out on this one.
The group consisting of Allan, Zoran, Kiley, and Irma quickly unleashed their long-range attacks while maintaining a distance of at least 100 meters from Jarred.
Additionally, Yosef was fervently directing his team to fire relentlessly at the horde of undead. The apocalyptic conditions were so brutal that they were forced to train new recruits right on the battlefield.
Sure enough, Jarred's audacious actions caught the attention of the enemy behind the scenes. It let out a mournful cry filled with rage:

F2 struggled desperately to break free from the chains, but the tightening grip only grew stronger, causing it to let out a piercing, agonized scream. In its blood-red eyes, it saw the dark end of a black rod, bearing a crimson skull emblem.The rod grew larger and larger, closing in.Boom!Jarred's strike landed squarely on the spot where F2 was bound, sending chunks of flesh and stone flying in all directions like a grenade explosion. Jarred’s heart sank as he quickly leaped back, his body glowing with a brilliant golden light.Burst Force.The strike had only hit the tattered outer skin of the creature; the real body had escaped.As soon as Jarred activated his Burst Force, he sensed the danger and instinctively ducked.Whoosh!A sharp claw, glowing with a fierce purple light, swiped just over his head. If he hadn’t dodged in time, it would have been fatal.Having missed its target, F2 quickly retreated, the ground cracking beneath its feet as it did so. Jarred, now in his enhanced

Its entire body emitted a dense black aura, its eyes cold and bloodthirsty as they locked onto its opponent.But its opponent was already far away on Whispering Avenue.Jarred felt a mix of intense anger and helpless, bitter laughter as he activated his jet boots once again, propelling himself to flee even faster.He had brought this upon himself. His strength was too high, creating a massive recoil that his base defense couldn't handle. After all, he was just a level 12 human, and his stats couldn't compare to those monsters.If he kept punching, he might end up killing himself."Once I get the Warrior class and acquire the recoil skill, I can fight it head-on."Jarred's desire to complete the novice quest grew even stronger. Without the warrior class, he felt completely constrained.Seeing Jarred retreat, Wylie, Yosef, and the others naturally had no interest in continuing the fight. They all quickly climbed into their high-speed jeeps and fled the battlefield via different routes,

At this point, even if Memphis were given dozens of skill books, hundreds of guns, and thousands of rounds of ammunition, he wouldn’t be able to utilize them all. Even after learning the skills, he wouldn't have enough potential points to use them. When he picked up a gun, he could barely hit a target. As for the 12.7mm heavy machine guns and RPG-7 anti-tank launchers, he had never even touched them before, leaving them to gather dust. He couldn’t even drive a car, let alone an armored vehicle.Not to mention, if you gave him 10 mutated chili peppers, he wouldn’t know what to do with them either. There was no time to care for them, nor to drag zombie corpses back to feed them.In short, while he had become considerably strong, surviving the apocalypse alone was out of the question. Achieving his goals without relying on others was impossible. This was no longer just a mission; it was a necessary progression.Setting the issue aside, he reached into his backpack and pulled out a level
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 254:
Without hesitation, Memphis activated the skill book, letting it dissolve into a translucent light that enveloped him.This must be a skill from the "Magician" profession, an incredibly unique skill.In a one-on-one battle, Memphis could use this skill to reduce his opponent's hostility, or even deceive them, creating an unexpected advantage. However, this skill only affects one target at a time, at least as it currently stands without any enhancements.If he dared to charge into a sea of thousands of corpses, there would still be 9,999 zombies ready to tear him apart, and the one remaining likely wouldn't shed any tears.The system's method for dropping monster skills always follows certain principles: the skills that drop will either counter the monster or grant the same abilities as the monster.The "We Are Friends" skill is a bit of a mix of both categories. It counters the mindlessness of brute strength, while also providing a "similar to monsters" ability in the literal sense.W

Memphis didn’t respond, only thinking to her.'Big chest, scaredy-cat. Worry about yourself.'With that thought, he turned and jumped out the window, moving swiftly through the buildings, passing through the second and first defense lines, and approaching the outskirts of the zombie horde.Watching Memphis’s retreating figure, Wallflower’s face flushed with anger, and she had an urge to raise her gun and shoot a few rounds at him.“Damn scoundrel.”Memphis crossed the first defense line, now only about 700 meters away from the zombie horde. This meant that in just over an hour, the battle would officially begin.He snapped his fingers, and a 2.5-meter-tall ice zombie slowly formed and then started lumbering off into the distance. Memphis followed, steadily advancing toward the zombie horde.The plan was simple: cause some disruption and apply pressure, not to fully engage in battle. Creating a few ice zombies to distract and appear weaker was enough. As for how many zombies they could
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 256:
Just a moment ago, the F1 zombie had narrowly dodged a fatal attack by contorting its body in a bizarre way. But Memphis was certain that if Wallflower were given another chance to shoot freely, she would have wiped out all three of those evolved zombies.She was terrifying—far superior not only to Kathy but to anyone else around.As expected, when faced with such a significant threat, a mournful wail suddenly echoed from somewhere far off in the direction of Sunset Boulevard:"Oeeeeee..."Memphis's heart sank as he heard the sorrowful cry. The hidden enemy had unleashed a deadly targeting move, signaling imminent danger.According to the original plan, he was supposed to be the one drawing the attention of the hidden threat, allowing Wallflower to snipe in peace. But now, she had become the standout, and the hidden enemy's targeting cry had locked onto her instead.One full-force hit from it would surely knock out Wallflower, who was only a level 5 Transcendent.In a split-second dec

More than a minute later, Wallflower slowly asked:"What do you want?"Memphis smiled slightly and replied:"I want to borrow this equipment from you for a day."Wallflower immediately nodded in agreement:"Fine, you can borrow it."So straightforward.When two smart people talk, it’s always that easy.Memphis stepped forward and took the cloak from Wallflower's hand, and immediately, a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion echoed in his mind."Ding! Level 4 Protective Cloak. Attributes: +3 to all stats. Enhancement Skill: Shield. When taking damage exceeding 30 points of defense, automatically increases defense by 45 points for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 8 hours per charge. Maximum accumulation of 3 charges. The equipment is immune to dirt and can transform into any appearance.""So... powerful..."Memphis couldn’t help but mutter in amazement.This piece of equipment was essentially a true turtle shell.

Seeing that she still had a wary look in her eyes, he took three more steps back until he was at the door, then opened it and said casually:"Miss Wallflower, there was once a monk who was asked, 'Master, when you see a beautiful woman, do you feel attracted? Do you feel moved?' Do you know how the monk replied?""The monk said, 'I am a man, and of course, I like beautiful women. When I see a beautiful woman, I do feel attracted. But while I may feel attracted, I do not act on it. I think, but I do not act.'""Miss Wallflower, I am not a monk, nor a saint. When I see you, of course, I have dark thoughts—it's human nature... But I control both my thoughts and my actions. I have not done anything disrespectful or dark towards you. Even when you read my mind, you found no such thoughts. I do not act. So, what more can I do to prove my innocence?"Memphis had already stepped out into the hallway, leaving Wallflower half-lying, half-sitting on the bed in the small room.He smirked and cont

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
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

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
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.“
