The leader of the zombie horde could no longer maintain control; the evolved zombies were nearly out of control, with several even catching fire from the black flames in their panicked escape, burning off chunks of flesh and causing their levels to drop."Oeeeeee…"The pitiful, mournful sound echoed once again, but this time it wasn't directed at the humans; it resonated above the zombies.In the central area, the P2, F2, P1, and F1 zombies began to tremble and cease their violent actions, struggling to emit black and purple auras in an attempt to resist their fear. The Shield-2 zombies nearly tore their mouths open as they spewed out four columns of blood-red light, making the energy shields even more solid and dense.In just three seconds, the towering black flames were extinguished once more."Oeeeeee…"The pitiful, rage-filled cry echoed again, this time directly targeting the humans. Several protective barriers shattered with a bang, and seven or eight people immediately spat blo
Second, the subsequent group attacks were always weaker than the initial one. This meant that in the final battle, they could position civilians as shields to absorb the full force of the first two strikes. From the third strike onwards, the threat to the soldiers would be significantly reduced, allowing the team members to grit their teeth and continue fighting.Third, there was a difference in sound. When the creature commanded its subordinates, the sound had the pitch of a crying child, while when it attacked, the sound had the pitch of a rutting goat. Exploiting this difference, Memphis had devised a plan to use the hidden enemy's own power to kill its own subordinates.Having discovered three exploitable points, Memphis’s mood slightly improved, and his confidence in the final battle increased. Now, all that was left was to wait for the main force of the enemy to push toward positions 5 and 6 before the plan could be put into action.At this moment, Yosef hurried over to Memphis
If Memphis couldn’t recruit him, he’d covertly sabotage him, disrupt the enemy’s internal unity—that was Memphis’s approach.Moreover, appointing Yosef as the overall commander to bear the blame was also part of Memphis’s plan to maintain his own spotless reputation. When Lee returned to Lakeside, Memphis would shift all responsibility onto him, completing a seamless maneuver to clear his own name while keeping his image intact.Sending the "useless" group into battle also aligned perfectly with Memphis’s original intention. Those with the least value should naturally head to the battlefield and contribute what little they had left.It was a threefold win. Memphis was fortunate that the enemy behind all this was strong enough to allow him to carry out his plans smoothly.The 500 survivors required by the system’s mission—ideally, they should all be strong and healthy.Ten minutes later, the squad leaders led their newly stabilized forces back to the battlefield.Memphis scanned the su
Each 10-meter section of the net ensnared about 80 zombies. Over 20 zombies were shot down, their bodies hanging limp in the net, creating immense pressure and weight. The remaining zombies, already struggling to move because of the tangled nets, were now burdened with the heavy, lifeless bodies of their fallen comrades.All of them were in the same boat—a boat with a hole in the middle, and the bow and stern were in no better shape. Hearing the gunfire and sensing the violent killing intent, their bloodthirsty nature was provoked, and they began to howl and charge faster, adding to the chaos.But the dead zombies still entangled in the nets were too heavy. The leading zombies were slowed down and eventually fell backward, while those at the back tripped and fell forward. In an instant, dozens of zombies were tangled into one large mass.Memphis coldly raised his hand and shouted:"Systematic attack!"At his command, a group of superhumans unleashed a barrage of high-intensity attacks
During this time, the Hope Town squad repeatedly launched disruptive actions to provoke the zombie commander, forcing it to release four large-scale mental attacks. Thanks to the vastly increased number of people sharing the damage and the hardening from repeated exposure, the Hope Town army had developed a resistance to this hidden monster. Only five elderly and frail individuals succumbed to its fear, bringing the total death toll since the battle began to 29.By now, even shooting demon-slaying bullets at the zombie leader no longer provoked it to act. Perhaps it had run out of strength, or maybe it had become desensitized, finally realizing that the demon-slaying bullets couldn’t directly threaten its life.After signaling his team to retreat to Position 6, Memphis calmly raised his hand, holding a large pile of exp crystals and 6 potential points. With a thought, the exp and potential crystals transformed into a glow that enveloped him, raising his level to 15.By engaging in int
Ice Venom is more suited for battling humans, forcing them to divide their attention and expend resources to shield against the damage.But if the battle is won, Ice Venom could fully demonstrate its potential."Corpses that completely lose life when struck by Ice Venom will become Ice Minions."This is the true meaning of the word "control." Cold, dead bodies are the moment when the icy chill takes control of them.If he can win and successfully eliminate the high-level zombies, Memphis will have a powerful army of Ice Minions, far stronger than the ones he can
The soldiers on the rooftops casually rained down systematic attacks, slaughtering any zombies still capable of moving. The zombies trapped behind the wall became easy targets, continuously bombarded by the relentless assault, stopping the zombie flow in its tracks.Many zombies tried pushing forward, only to be forced back as they tumbled and rolled across the road. But as they strained to advance, more spiked panels fell from above, adding yet another layer to the ever-growing, ever-thickening zombie wall.This was the first time that a human-established defense had managed to halt the zombie horde, preventing them from advancing even an inch. The further the zombies pressed forward, the more they became ensnared, forming a tangled mass of corpses that gr
The F2 level 25, having endured multiple attacks from demon-slaying bullets, had already become highly alert. As soon as it sensed danger, it immediately retreated, using its massive, elephant-like arms to shield its abdomen while rolling to the side, using its comrades as a shield.Beside it, the P2 level 24 wasted no time leaping in front of Wylie, punching towards the anti-tank gun with the determination of a warrior, showing no fear as it prepared to take the hit.Meanwhile, the belly of the P2 level 25 swelled like a balloon, trembling violently like a drum being struck. A colossal wave of spiritual energy, tangible and immense, surged out from within it, accompanied by a heartrending, mournful cry that spread rapidly."Oeeeeeeee..."The sound, resembling a baby's cry mixed with the desperate bleating of a goat in heat, emanated from the center of the zombie horde, aiming directly at the intruders, intent on shattering them on the spot.In less than a fraction of a second from th
