2024-08-15 01:01:58These 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, its

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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 266:
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 268:
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 269:
Holding two third-tier skill books, two Level 3 item cards, two second-tier skill books, two potential points, and 82 experience points, Memphis was considering how to allocate them.Ding! Third-tier passive skill: Cicada Molt. Skill attribute: Upon taking lethal damage, transfer all damage to a decoy and teleport yourself two meters away. The damage transferred cannot exceed 10 levels above the user. After molting, attributes are reduced by 50% for two seconds. Skill activation: 50% current stamina, 50% current intelligence. Cooldown: 24 hours. Can be enhanced and upgraded.This is a survival skill possessed by many high-speed entities. Typically, at Level 18, evolved zombies of this type gain the ability to "molt" to avoid fatal attacks.Memphis didn’t need this skill. He already had the third-tier Illusion Orb, and learning this skill would only harm him. Activating both skills in a critical moment would drain him dry—surviving the enemy’s attack only to die from his own depletion.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 270:
Thanks to it, Memphis had gauged that the Holy Light Sword’s power was equivalent to a third-tier skill used by a level 12 superhuman after three rounds of enhancement. Considering the Holy Light’s special property of being highly effective against zombies, it could be compared to a third-tier skill with four rounds of enhancement.For items with three uses, like the Mind Shield Ring level 3 and Wave Shield Ring level 3, they were equivalent to third-tier skills with one round of enhancement.At this moment, the P2s, P1s, and F1s were standing at the center, with four shield-types in front, at levels 17, 18, 19, and 20. The level 20 shield-type, with its smooth face, now bore a strange red double-arrow mark.Lazarus observed through his binoculars, adjusted his aim, and then spoke slowly:"Commander, I’m ready."He was ready to fire the anti-tank round.Memphis looked through his binoculars and said:"Target the bloated zombie with the reverse-arrow mark on its face.""Roger."Lazarus

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
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.“
