Hope Town was far too weak. No matter how powerful the third-tier skills were, they were powerless against the horde of zombies—ice manipulation, giant transformation, nullification, Transforming Weapon... All were utterly useless in the face of thousands of corpses. The only fourth-tier skill he could replicate was Wallflower’s Insight, but it was merely a scouting support ability with no offensive power.
So he chose to directly copy the enemy's skill.
Yes, he copied the strongest power of his enemy. He intended to use this ability of the primary anomaly to fight against it, to confront its own army.
He had been waiting for three rounds of the opp
But Memphis, standing on the rooftop, once again raised his hand. The Simulation Ring had three activations, and his fingers began to emit a dim glow like the fading light of dusk. A terrifying pulse of information shot straight into the heart of the zombie horde, targeting a single, specific zombie."Oeeeeee…""Self-destruct immediately!"The target was none other than the level 23 Shield-type S2!The difference between controlling thousands of zombies and just one was immense. This time, the command only had 53% of its original power. Memphis dared not attempt to control all the zombies as he had before, nor did he dare target the level 25 P2, which had reached a critical stage of evolution, and certainly not the level 24 M2, the master of manipulation.He chose the M2's most loyal protector, the level 23 S2.Sure enough, the concentrated force of a single-target attack was incredibly powerful. The command caused the S2 to freeze momentarily; it trembled as it reached into the gapin
In just one second, the center of the zombie horde was left with only a single figure standing—a 3.5-meter-tall P2 level 25 strength-type zombie.It was too strong, too massive, too heavy to be affected by the cyclone, still guarding the M2 level 24 in its stomach.But this was precisely the scenario Memphis had meticulously planned for, a scenario that, after hundreds of calculations and setups, had to play out this way.He wanted a one-on-one battle, without any zombies in his way.At that moment, Memphis pulled the pins on three grenades with his left hand while extending his right hand forward. The Mimic Ring glowed with an intense purple light as two third-tier skills were activated simultaneously."Dark Chess Kill! Light Armor!"In an instant, with the activation of the third-tier Light Armor and Wylie’s signature Dark Chess Kill skill, Memphis vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was standing right in front of the P2 level 25.More accurately, he was standing in front
"Well then, let's give it a try—We Are Friends!"Facing the zombie horde’s deadliest assassin, Reflection decided to use a strange counter-reconnaissance skill.Before this move, the F2 hesitated briefly. Then its blood-red eyes blazed with killing intent as it lunged forward.It wanted to kill this fraud first.But as it closed in within half a meter of Reflection, its crimson eyes grew hazy once more.Around it, countless ethereal threads suddenly appeared, wrapping its entire body and quickly embedding into its flesh."Twisted Ring, Level 3. Augmented Skill: Twist. Creates a hidden distortion field causing affected entities to act opposite to their intended actions. Cooldown time: 24 hours..."Another piece of gear with a 24-hour cooldown.The control from this equipment was extremely powerful. Even the P2 level 25 that had consumed three mutated chilies couldn’t resist it. Let alone an injured F2 level 25.Killing intent turned to fear, attack turned to defense, advance turned to
How much time does it take for this Manipulation Type M2 to evolve, what is the upper limit of its evolution level, and after completing its evolution, how will it change? Will it tear its way out of its "mother's" belly, or will it continue to hide within to avoid danger?If it completes its evolution but remains in its "mother's" belly, will its skill power decrease? If it emerges, where will it go, what new abilities will it gain, and will it continue to consume zombie nutrients or switch to eating humans?Which types of zombies are suitable for "pregnancy"? Moreover, when it first appears, at what level will the Manipulation Type start? Level 10, level 15, or level 20? One could infer a bit from the mission requirements...What is the maximum number of zombies that the level 24 M2 can manipulate? When it reaches level 25, what specific ability will it gain?The zombie horde over at Sunny Hills Village, what level of Manipulation Type is controlling them?A thousand questions burst
Wallflower’s desperate cry drowned out the surrounding cheers, accompanied by a slow, ominous wail that spread, bringing with it endless cold and killing intent. The M2 in Memphis’s hand began to swell, its veins and blood vessels bulging out grotesquely. From its tentacled mouth, a foul, black liquid oozed out like a stream.“Oeeeee…”The cry was like the wail of a child, yet also reminiscent of a goat in heat, spreading quickly. Though the sound was faint and not as powerful as before, at such close range, it still managed to stun more than 300 people who had just relaxed their guard.Jarred, standing at the front, suddenly widened his eyes, his body rapidly swelling back to giant size. He leaped toward Memphis, reaching out to grab the M2.But he missed.Jarred’s face twisted in horror as he looked at Memphis, who was staring back at him.Gentle, stern, remorseful, unwilling, apologetic, determined, relieved…“Little Silence, take good care of Hope Town. Lead everyone towards freed
“Wallflower, soon you’ll see, a bandit can sometimes be better than a politician…”“I despise despair, despise waiting and being at the mercy of others…”“We’re just worthless lives abandoned…”“I’ll give them strength, give them hope, give them the ability to save themselves…”“The final battle here is extremely dangerous, I might die, so I have to say what’s in my heart…”
After relaying the order to hold the line, Jarred turned to run towards the distance, but Wallflower quickly grabbed his arm and said urgently:"Take me with you. I have a recovery skill."Jarred had little fondness for Wallflower. If it hadn't been for this stubborn woman, the casualties at Hope Town wouldn't have been so severe, and his elder brother wouldn't be in a life-or-death situation. However, she was right, so he grabbed Wallflower, then quickly scooped up Dr. Beirne, who was still in shock nearby. Activating all his speed-enhancing skills, he dashed off into the distance."Brother, you mustn't die, you absolutely mustn't die."With an agility stat exceeding 100 points, Jarred only needed a single leap to land on the rooftop, swiftly crossing from roof to roof, his sharp eyes scanning below for the strongest zombies.The strongest zombies would move the fastest.A level 17 strength-type had its arm blown off, a level 16 speed-type had its leg broken, a level 21 defense-type
Dr. Beirne continued his chant while persistently spouting a stream of medical jargon, as if giving a lecture on the complexities of comatology, leaving the two people beside him unsure of what to ask next, only knowing that it all sounded quite academic and convoluted.In truth, he wanted to say: Your boss is in excellent health, probably even healthier than you. There’s no need for any emergency care.Just moments ago, he had checked Memphis’s pupils and found his reflexes sharper than those of an average person. After running a few basic vital sign tests, like heart rate and blood pressure, it was clear that the commander was in perfect condition—healthier than even a professional athlete.This realization had scared him. But having dealt with Memphis numerous times, engaging in shady activities together and exchanging favors, he quickly understood what the commander wanted. So he played along, enthusiastically participating in the charade of emergency care, while leaving the decis
