Allan summoned another 2-meter-long dragon claw, hovering above the jeep. After some hesitation, he decided not to order the jeep to retreat but instead stood up and shouted:"The hidden enemy has launched an attack, but they definitely can't strike us again in such a short time. Even if they do, it won't be enough to threaten us. The commander has already taken down the zombie horde's leader. Our hope for victory is here!"Allan's words were both a morale booster and a way to encourage himself. The mysterious zombie needed some time before it could launch another mental attack, but he couldn't be entirely certain.Memphis had ordered him to stay close and protect Wallflower, but he wasn't willing to leave the battlefield and retreat to the rear so easily.If he had to choose between fleeing to safety and standing his ground, he'd rather stay. If he's lucky, they'll be fine. If not, he'll grit his teeth and endure another attack.But Allan's gamble paid off. After the enemy's large-sc
Inwardly, Memphis sneered, but outwardly, he remained resolute, his face showing determination mixed with sorrow, regret, and a hint of pain. He nodded and said:"Good. With your assurance, I can proceed with my plans with much more confidence. For now, just focus on resting and fully recovering your mental state. Once you’re ready, taking out more zombies from a distance will be the best help you can offer."Of course, he needed her assistance—crucial assistance—but not now, and not in this battle.The time wasn’t right yet. He needed more, much more…After a moment of silence, Wallflower calmly said:"I understand… I need 15 minutes to regain my balance."Watching Wallflower’s figure fade into the distance, Memphis let out a cold laugh before turning to Allan and saying:"The main force of the zombies has been crippled. There are no more zombies below level 20 left on this boulevard, except for a level 19 Strength-type and a level 18 Speed-type, which are the most threatening. Do yo
Setting the matter aside for now, he stuffed the Protective Coat into his backpack and said casually:"Alright, you smell great. I can smell it from here. Now go kill some zombies."Gemma's face gradually turned angry, then she let out a light huff and turned away, not even bothering to say goodbye."Damn it, I clearly complimented her, didn’t I? What more does she want? Or does she think my praise wasn’t sincere enough?"Shrugging off Gemma, Memphis stepped out of the medical tent, climbed into a high-mobility jeep, and quickly left the Sapphire batt
Memphis temporarily pushed this matter to the back of his mind, deciding that he would try to keep a lower profile and interact less in the future. After all, when the members under his command grew stronger both in power and thinking, he felt relatively satisfied.He focused his attention on the third line of defense and began assessing the situation.The third line of defense was nearly 200 meters long, with a wall of earth and mud standing 1.4 meters high every 10 meters. These walls were reinforced with steel bars and supported by sturdy wooden stakes. The wall sections alternated between the left and right sides, extending all the way to the fourth line of defense.|\ | | /| |\ | | /| |\ | | /| ...The horde of zombies, led by low-level ones, had begun reaching the first earthen wall. They were quickly stopped and then slid along the sloped surface of the wall, moving from left to right. Upon reaching the right edge, they were again blocked by another wall, forcing them to shift
The veteran advised:“Every time you level up, allocate 1 point to endurance until you reach 13 points. The rest, split 2 points into stamina, 1 into strength.”This was the directive from above, and he had followed it as well, feeling that it worked just fine.When a strong person gives advice, it’s best to follow it; it’s definitely not wrong.The rookie followed his instructions, distributing her potential points as advised. Feeling her body grow noticeably stronger, she couldn’t help but marvel in admiration.It truly was extraordinary.There was one more silver item card. The seasoned team member seriously said:"This item shouldn’t be used on your own. Using it might not bring out anything good; if you end up with something like a recovery ring, that would be really unlucky. Instead, turn it in. One item card can be exchanged for permanent ownership of a baseball bat or for 15 days of usage rights for the Horse-Slaying Saber. During those 15 days, you can farm a lot of exp cryst
Urban warfare offered significant advantages to humans—they could leap across the zombie horde with ease while the zombies could only helplessly watch. Even the most keen-sensed zombies could only raise their heads and let out pitiful growls as they watched the humans escape. In just two seconds, they forgot what they were doing and continued marching forward under some mysterious command.As long as a transcendent’s strength and agility were both above 17 points, they could comfortably leap from rooftop to rooftop. In just eight minutes, they reached the outer edge of the second circle.Here, large zombies over 2 meters tall were densely packed, mixed in with smaller ones. If they had access to human flesh, these creatures would quickly evolve into strength- or speed-type zombies.Memphis was tempted to activate his burst energy and throw down a few ice bombs, taking out two or three hundred zombies and breaking through to level 14 in one go. But he held back for now—wasting burst en
Memphis was deeply troubled by this possibility. The hidden mastermind was terrifyingly unpredictable, like a drawn bowstring, ready to release at any moment, striking down its prey. Its attacks were invisible and untraceable, making them nearly impossible to anticipate or defend against.All the participants in this operation had first-level skills to enhance their resilience, and Jarred had provided plenty of level 2 resistance rings, ensuring they were well-equipped. Even Yosef, the weakest, had 18 points in resilience...Surely they wouldn’t drop dead from a single hit.But what if that entity's psychic attack was far stronger than before, powerful enough to kill? He could lose his well-trained, elite soldiers in an instant.Memphis narrowed his eyes, staring into the distance where the two evolved zombies stood 400 meters away, one towering at three meters, the other much shorter, surrounded by dozens of zombies.He began to consider the situation from an outsider's perspective.
"Grekkkk...""Grakkkk..."The P1 and F1 zombies all screamed frantically. Those that could run did so, while those that couldn't stood their ground, emitting black light to resist.The level 21 P2's three tubes swelled to their limits. Though incredibly strong, it was powerless against the black flames. Its body trembled as it stood firm, trying to withstand the heat of the fire, watching the three shields warp slightly as its willpower nearly crumbled.As for the level 20 F2, it had already run over 40 meters away, its diamond-shaped head and frog-like red eyes nervously glancing back at its former position, drooling black saliva from its mouth.One bullet, and the zombie team was scattered in panic.The zombies at Whispering Avenue were truly a disorganized mob.The black flames burned for three seconds before extinguishing, but the zombies continued to scream in terror, finally managing to calm down. Two minutes passed, with no further incidents—no bullets, no black flames, no thre
