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
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
It seemed to have caught the scent of the humans waiting ahead, and all it needed to do was advance slowly, step by step, and it would eventually overcome all obstacles.“How much time has passed, and it's already learned this quickly?”Muttering to himself as if to praise his opponent, Memphis' eyes burned with fierce determination. He spoke in a low voice to Gemma:"You stay here and command the team. Always maintain a distance of 150 meters between us and them. If anything happens, immediately order the heavy machine guns to target the evolved zombies. Understood?" The explosive force brought a boost to his attributes, and the higher the attributes, the more powerful the skills became. A second-tier skill typically wouldn't cause significant damage to a zombie above level 20, but when combined with We Are Friends, it could indeed trick the zombie.The difference between being "deceived" and "threatened with death" is significant. If a zombie is deceived by the skill, it won't react as violently as it would to a killing blow.In a split second, like a flash of lightning, F2 was truly bewildered and didn't see Memphis as an enemy. Seeing the Wind Sword slashing down, it didn't even think to dodge.Not an enemy, so why dodge? Except for the Devouring Form, zombies never harm or eat each other.Zombies are more united than humans. The newly arrived zombie must be trying to comb its hair with that strange object...Crack...A tiny cracking sound echoed, making the whole world seem to freeze. In F2's eyes, the comrade quickly twisted into a human, itsApocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 264:
At her call, three Level 7 transcendent beings and one Level 9 transcendent swiftly surrounded her. One of them, whose hand glowed, layered a second light armor over Wallflower, creating a double barrier.Their duty was to shield Wallflower from the overwhelming spiritual attack of the creature behind the scenes. Their role? To act as human shields. When the psychic assault struck, the four protectors would absorb the majority of the damage, leaving Wallflower to bear only a fraction of it.In gaming terms, they were “covering the ADC” and “sharing damage” in the most literal sense.The group quickly abandoned the third-floor window and rushed downstairs, where a high-mobility Jeep was always on standby, ready to whisk them away at any moment.As for the Level 21 F2, they didn’t need to worry about it.Team Leader Gemma Pryor would handle it.Sure enough, the high-speed F2 encountered fierce resistance as soon as it reached the third line of defense, where the transcendent beings had
Back when they were attacking the level 25 mutated strength-type zombie, none of them had even reached level 9. Only Jarred was at level 10, Memphis at level 11, while the rest were mostly level 6 and 7, with a few at level 8. But here at Battlefield No. 3, there were already four level 9s, with Gemma at level 10, and everyone else was far stronger than before.Even as strong as the F2 was, it couldn’t withstand the onslaught, and its body was torn apart.In a moment of desperation, it let out a pitiful scream, and its skin cracked and then exploded with a loud bang, allowing it to break free from the control and reappear outside.But its body had paid the price: one arm was gone, its chest and abdomen were riddled with holes, and its legs were mangled and bloody, with black pus still oozing out. It had taken too much damage to fully escape unscathed.It reappeared directly above Gemma’s squad."S-stop firing!"One of the regular soldiers quickly shouted to stop the others from shooti
The female team member's face had turned pitch black, even her flesh showing signs of decay, with teeth and hair growing unnaturally long from her mouth. Yet, she still managed to choke out: “My child... Protect..."Gemma's face was already streaked with tears. She reached out, trying to grasp the hand of the unfortunate team member, but the gentle glow emanating from her level 4 equipment prevented them from touching.The equipment was impervious to contamination.Desperately, Gemma shouted: “Samir, Samir, you have to stay awake! Willa still needs you to protect her. Medic! Where's the medic?"In her panic, she raised her hand to cast a healing skill, but her stamina and intelligence were both reduced to just 1 point, not enough to activate the ability.After a moment of frantic confusion, the level 2 healing bracelet on her left wrist began to glow, but it was immediately pressed down by another hand.Memphis grabbed Gemma’s hand, pulling her back, just in time to avoid the bite of
Gemma, trembling all over like a drowning person who had grabbed onto a piece of driftwood, quickly wiped the tears from her face and resolutely shook her head, answering: “Captain, I can’t die. I have to fight, I have to try harder, I have to protect. I won't... Hic..."She didn’t even finish speaking before she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.Memphis's mouth twitched. He quickly checked her pulse and, finding that she was still breathing, let out a silent sigh of relief.If Gemma had died, it would have been a significant loss.He hoisted her up and commanded in a deep voice: “Osiris, Xander, Travis, maintain the line, keep the soldiers attacking the zombies, and retreat step by step.""Yes, sir!"These three had undergone a massive mental transformation. Compared to thirty minutes ago, they were now much tougher and more battle-hardened.After ensuring the defensive line was stable, Memphis cast a glance towards Sunset Boulevard, a smirk forming on his lips as he muttered to
