Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 255:
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. Jarred’s third-tier skill, Transmutation Of The Hermit, after three rounds of enhanc

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

Using a laser pointer, he indicated the largest map on the long table and said:"The zombie horde is approaching the first defense line. On Sapphire Avenue, they are only 192 meters away; on Sunset Boulevard and Whispering, they are over 200 meters away.""The total number of zombies on Sapphire Avenue is 10,038. Of these, over 9,000 are regular zombies, nearly 1,000 are large-handed zombies at levels 8 and 9, along with 42 evolved zombies. The most notable are two F2-type speed zombies at levels 21 and 20, and two P2-type strength zombies at levels 22 and 20. Below them, there are 13 speed zombies above level 15, 11 strength zombies above level 15. The remaining zombies are below level 15. The defensive types include four zombies at levels 18, 17, 19, and 20...""On Sunset Boulevard, the total number of zombies is similar, but the concentration of high-level zombies is highest here, as expected of the main enemy force. There’s one P2-type strength zombie at level 25, another at level
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 260:
Memphis's words ignited a fire in everyone, and they all shouted loudly:"Victory!"Memphis could see the burning determination in the eyes of all the squad leaders, and he was quite satisfied with this. Clenching his fist, he said with a firm tone:"To ensure this spirit of determination, I am now issuing martial law: anyone who dares to flee or desert in the face of the enemy will be executed on the spot, and their entire family will be enslaved to build the fortress walls!""The enforcers of this martial law will be the squad leaders!"Memphis paused for a moment, then continued in a deep voice:"You should all urge your team members to follow this order strictly. It would be best if I didn't have to deal with it personally."Hearing Memphis's cold tone, everyone present felt a chill in the air and couldn't help but shudder.Memphis usually kept a low profile, his demeanor always reserved, and he rarely engaged in casual conversation with others. Aside from his interactions with Ja

After allowing everyone to digest the information, Memphis gently waved his hand and said:"Go prepare. In half an hour, we'll set off!""Understood!"Watching the line of squad leaders leave to convey the information to their squads and supervise, Memphis finally exhaled a tired sigh, raising his hands to rub his temples to ease the headache.Being the leader is never easy. Observing people, using people, managing people, manipulating hearts, balancing interests, showing punishment, offering benefits... It’s not just about wanting it; it requires considering many factors, combining kindness and power, and even a slight difference can lead to drastically different outcomes.People are not machines. Managing a machine is hard enough; managing a team with members ranging from cunning to foolish is ten thousand times harder. Moreover, his team included loyal members, hesitant ones, and even those directly on the opposite side—there were all kinds.Perhaps being a crime boss like Cormac i
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 262:
These were all members who had reached at least level 4 as pseudo-extraordinary individuals. They had encountered zombies many times and had developed a certain immunity to fear. Even when faced with a dense zombie horde, they remained relatively composed.These members were sent to the front to provide stability and moral support for the rookies who would arrive later. It should be noted that the current team composition was 40% rookies, most of whom had just been trained on how to hold a gun, aim, and retreat according to orders from last night until this morning. They had never actually fought zombies. Without experienced members nearby for encouragement, they might quickly crumble.Memphis squinted as he looked toward the massive horde, which had alread

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

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
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.“
