If he abandoned the four others to it, he could press the gas pedal hard and escape, leaving Memphis's scolding behind. He could then safely return to his daughter Mary Hester.
But after a moment of hesitation, he remembered last night's conversation, the calm yet determined and cold look in Memphis's eyes, and how Kiley and Jarred had fought off monsters to protect him from death. He turned the steering wheel 180 degrees, making the truck loop around and head straight back.
Memphis pulled a skill book from his backpack, threw it to Zoran beside him, and said sternly: “Learn this immediately. When the car stops, use the skill and ai

Its defense was incredibly formidable. If it were another monster touched by Memphis's white mist, it would have long been frozen and shattered into powder. Yet, this creature could still endure.Just as it was about to strike Jarred, its danger instincts kicked in, causing it to shift slightly.Boom! Boom!Two explosive sounds echoed in succession, and two lightning balls appeared out of nowhere, hitting E1, crackling with electricity on its left shoulder, emitting zigzagging sparks.Two large fist-sized holes appeared on E1's shoulder, with lightning crackling

Kiley, Zoran, and Lionel’s faces were frozen in shock. How could they block such an attack? Could it be… was Memphis about to be killed?Jarred swallowed hard, his heart filled with worry and fear.Memphis stood directly in the center of the attack, but no matter how much chaos raged around him, his golden eyes remained calm.There was no sign of discomfort or pain, not even a hint of external impact.He only felt as if a dense reservoir of energy was rapidly accumulating inside him. Each punch from E1 was absorbed, compressed by the golden light around his body, and then stored in that energy reservoir.5… 4… 3… 2…The devourer’s attacks began to slow down, but the power behind them continued to increase. It took a step back, clenched its fist, and poured all its strength into this one attack, aiming to crush the human beneath it.Its fist, like a supersonic missile, whistled straight towards Memphis's head.BOOM……….The deafening sound was like a bomb exploding. Jarred and the other

Jarred scratched his head for a long time, swallowed hard, and then pointed at the Transforming Weapon."I want this one."His combat style relied heavily on physical confrontation and brute force. With this skill, he could transform his fists into daggers, spiked clubs, or his feet into bayonets, making his kicks extremely lethal. Compared to Super Recovery, his Giant Transformation already provided substantial defense, making him less likely to suffer severe injuries."Alright, I'll take the other one."Memphis picked up the three-tier skill book, Super Recovery, and without hesitation, learned it.He preferred this skill over Transforming Weapon. His future combat style would rely more on consuming intelligence to form ice, making close combat less suitable for him.A glow entered Memphis's body, rapidly enhancing his stamina and recovery.He then pointed at the advanced card."I want this."To him, this item was even more important than the three-tier skill Super Recovery. His ice

Seeing Amanda in this state, Memphis couldn't help but feel a stir within him. He swallowed a gulp, trying to angle his body to hide the awkwardness below, and asked in a deep voice:"Is there an emergency?"He had heard her knock frantically and assumed there was a zombie attack, but her relaxed demeanor made him feel puzzled and suspicious.Amanda ran her fingers through her wet hair, which clung to her pale skin, looking both messy and mischievous. The water droplets trickled down, dampening her clothes. She glanced nonchalantly at Memphis and casually said:"Nothing urgent. I just wanted to discuss something. I hope you can protect me as I level up."Memphis suppressed his inner turmoil, his voice hoarse with confusion:"Didn't I say we'd head out to clear the zombies after lunch?"Amanda propped herself against the doorframe and lifted her wrist, showing her watch:"It's already noon. We've prepared lunch and came to get you."Feeling increasingly uneasy, he wanted to look a bit

"Being the leader of a team is really not easy. My methods must not be arbitrary…""Sigh… The outside is too dangerous, and I’m still too weak. If I encounter another level 18 devourer alone, I won't be able to escape. It seems increasing my own strength is the most urgent task!"After eating, as everyone was digesting their meal and the clock struck 1 PM, Memphis spoke in a deep voice:"This afternoon, we’ll hunt zombies within a 100-meter radius of this house. Who wants to join?"Jarred was the first to raise his hand, seriously saying:"Of course I will!"Memphis glared at him and scolded:"Of course you will. Even if you didn’t want to, I’d make you go."He needed Jarred, his second strongest combatant, someone to rely on in critical moments and a caregiver for the others in normal times.Looking around, almost everyone raised their hands, except for a few children still traumatized, showing no signs of movement. Even Winter hesitated for a while before slowly expressing willingne

Lionel panted. He had killed zombies before, but this time felt as terrifying as the first. After taking a deep breath, he advanced, swinging his machete, cutting down five or six zombies in quick succession.Angela, Jarred’s girlfriend, naturally received his special care. He stomped on a dismembered zombie, allowing her to finish it off easily.On the other side, after 14 seconds of manipulating ice, Memphis stopped forming the ice sword and honestly used the machete to kill zombies. This method was slower but conserved energy.Amanda, who had been rewarded with an exp crystal last time, quickly killed two more zombies and advanced to level 3. She hesi

Jarred let out a fierce laugh, using the advantage of having one more hand than his opponent. He transformed his free hand into a blade and struck down hard on the monster's head with a sharp thud."Ha..."The blade cut halfway through P1's skull but couldn't go any further. The monster let out a pained roar, the injury not enough to kill it. It swung its fist forward.Without hesitation, Jarred met its punch with his own. Repeatedly, the sound of their fists clashing echoed in the air. Jarred held P1's head firmly with one hand, continuously punching it with the other. After twenty or so punches, P1's remaining arm hung limp and broken.Without pausing, Jarred delivered three more consecutive punches to its head, shattering P1's skull.It was dead.Jarred, covered in a yellowish glow, slowly retreated as his body began to shrink, smoke rising from his skin. His face contorted with pain, and he groaned,"Oh, it hurts so much."He slumped to the ground, clutching his arm, his skin show

He reconsidered and dismissed the ridiculous idea.His intelligence had increased to 23 points with the Mindful Ring. It was a significant boost, but he still wanted more to match his consumption. He had passive skills enhancing five other attributes, but intelligence had yet to appear.It seemed he needed to actively hunt and kill zombies to level up to 7 and search for passive skills to boost his intelligence."Continue to clear out the zombies!"Memphis commanded in a deep voice, then turned towards a corner of the street where a few zombies were shambling along.Over the next hour, they cleared a 50-meter stretch from the base house to their current location. Several houses were broken into, zombies were killed, and supplies were scavenged. They had found a Hilux pickup truck and another Raptor, which was quite fortunate.However, they didn’t find any other survivors. This catastrophic event was truly terrifying.While the group took a short break, Jarred casually asked:"Boss, is

If Memphis were a vile person, and Hope Town was a cesspool of corruption, there would have been no need for Sarah to openly declare their connection. A quiet escape plan would have sufficed. Sarah’s immediate transparency indicated her unwillingness to conceal anything and her clear desire to align herself with Memphis.She wanted more than just a foothold in Hope Town. She sought influence and power, no longer content to remain merely a legal advisor. For this, she was willing to risk breaking the rules, even knowing the law better than anyone."A place with people will inevitably have conflicts. Violating principles like this may be wrong in theory, but it feels right emotionally."Memphis couldn’t stop others from harboring personal agendas, nor could he prev

This allowed all his actions to seem justified, fitting within any narrative one could perceive. It made him entirely unreadable—his thoughts a mystery, his intentions obscure, and even his decisions, once made, felt inevitable.“Lawless.”Calling himself a bandit wasn’t a self-deprecating joke—it was the raw truth.Memphis glanced coldly at the two masterminds before letting his gaze drift to the clueless “big-bottomed lamb” standing there. A wave of irritation immediately washed over him.Big chests lacking brains had been proven time and time again. Who would have thought big bottoms shared the same fate? This woman didn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation at all. She displayed no hint of fear.When Rosa noticed Memphis looking at her instead of the document, and even claiming it was a forgery, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “How could it be fake? You haven’t even read it; how would you know if it’s real or not?"The corner of Memphis's mouth twitched uncontrollab

Memphis was indeed frowning at the omission in the materials. Everything else was fine; nothing seemed worthy of criticism—so where was the residents' survey of preferences?Don’t say they forgot? What kind of operation is this?Just as he was about to ask, Rosa spoke first:“Memphis, I have something to tell you.”Instinctively curious, Memphis replied: “What is it?”Rosa’s inner smile grew. His propensity for "snooping" was too high—one vague sentence was enough to make him forget about scolding. She lowered her voice, adopting a pleading tone:“My grandfather wants to talk to you.”"Hm? Adolph? What could he want from me? Aren’t all proposals supposed to go through Sarah first?"Sarah, who Memphis had assigned from Hope Town to temporarily oversee operations, was responsible for compiling and preliminarily reviewing all proposals from Crimson Flame's residents.It struck him then: something was off. Why was this rookie delivering the message instead of Sarah?His brow furrowed slig

5:30 PM on Day 24 Post-Apocalypse, outskirts of Crimson Flame Town.Eight hours into the rescue mission, the 4th Reserve Battalion, working in tandem with 24 Dagger members, successfully rescued 277 survivors from approximately 70% of the central town’s territory. This is an astounding number, highlighting the stark survival disparity.Crimson Flame Town's center had about 40,000 residents. To find 277 survivors by Day 24, with the potential for even more from the remaining areas, is remarkable. In contrast, Renaissance County and its surrounding zones, with a larger population, yielded only 158 survivors by Day 12—12 days earlier.Where Manipulation Types exist, human survival becomes extraordinarily tenuous.Memphis emerged from a small ice shard, his face etched with exhaustion. He and Wylie were the principal forces combing the southwestern region for survivors. Within a 4-kilometer radius of the maternity clinic, not a single soul remained unaccounted for, even the faintest signs

Splash! Splash! Splash!The stones crashed into the lake like meteors slamming into the sea. Each impact sent waves surging violently, water spraying up to three meters high. Stones that missed the lake shattered the courtyard, spraying bloodstained concrete and debris everywhere. The entire area turned into chaos, the once serene surroundings now a murky mess.Jarred’s unconventional attack style could easily rival bomb strikes."Hssaaahhh…"From the lake’s center, countless purple bubbles, each the size of a fist, burst forth, releasing toxic green gas. Bloodied slime mixed with frothy water splattered about, creating a grotesque spectacle. A furious, cold-blooded hiss pierced the air, and a mas
Chapter 740:
The walls being constructed by Hope Township consist of three layers with a total thickness of 1 meter. The primary components include mud mixed with mutated vines and barbed wire, reinforced with large stones and a steel core. The outer layers are sheathed in metal sheets and reinforced with sturdy wooden braces, making them incredibly difficult to destroy. Additionally, after construction, the walls are further strengthened by Earth Manipulation practitioners, compacting the earth and stone tightly for added durability.This segment of the wall had collapsed, the crumbled dirt resembling cold porridge, with steel rods scattered as far as 20 meters away. Some metal sheets and barbed wire were also punctured, showcasing the sheer brute force of the snake responsible for the destruction.Jarred examined two nearby sedans, both twisted

Jarred blinked twice, then responded: “I’m quite interested, but I don’t have any magic crystals on me right now."Anthony waved dismissively: “No rush, no rush. We have plenty of time."With that, both men exchanged smiles, the atmosphere between them amicable to the extreme.Five minutes later, the Lakeside convoy disappeared into the dusty horizon. Jarred narrowed his eyes slightly, then snapped his fingers. A second figure, an exact reflection of himself, formed out of moonlight.Once the Reflection summoned by the Simulation Ring materialized: “it" donned clothing and took a few documents from Jarred. Flashing a grin, it said: “How about we swap missions? You meet with the 'n

Seven seconds later, Jarred landed on the eastern bank of Grieving River.Three jeeps from Lakeside's government awaited them, accompanied by over a dozen officials and soldiers. Witnessing Jarred’s effortless flight, they couldn’t help but swallow nervously.Lakeside had someone capable of flight as well—Verne Riddle. But this Lawton fellow was far too skilled and smooth, not even producing the slightest sound of rushing wind.Jarred landed in front of the three jeeps and released Sherwin and his companions. Scanning the group of ten people before him, he nodded and said: “The handover is complete. You may leave now."The staff immediately stepped forward to inspect the three Phó memb
Chapter 737:
"The first approach is ideological harmony. Hope Township abandons its pursuit of self-reliance and agrees to follow the state’s centralized policies. Alternatively, Lakeside County could cease its ambition to connect with Harbor Line District and instead ally with Hope Township to rebel. In either case, the conflict would dissolve on its own. Of course, this approach is too far-fetched to even consider.""The second approach is ideological suppression. Hope Township and Lakeside County resolve to fight to the death. The losing side would vanish, taking its ideology to the afterlife. The winning side seizes all resources and celebrates victory, gaining more fuel to sustain the engine of peace. This destructive option has already occurred. While its consequences have not been catastrophic yet, there is a significant risk of it reoccurring if the third approach cannot succeed."
