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
"Ding! Primary mission to establish a foothold: successfully exterminated 90% of the zombie horde, successfully eliminated the horde commander, 1/2 requirements completed!"Upon hearing the system's notification, Memphis finally exhaled a sigh of relief. With this confirmation, he was sure that he had secured victory in this battle, marking the halfway point in his journey.System missions were always vague, always lacking details, and extremely misleading. The beginner mission required the elimination of the devouring entity to be completed, but the specifics weren't clear. It wasn't until Memphis accidentally took down the opponent that the notification appeared. This left people in a passive position, making it difficult to uncover clues, and even harder to complete if they were surviving alone.Even Jarred's mission to eliminate 3,000 zombies wasn't designed for a lone wolf. If someone recklessly rushed to eliminate zombies without careful planning, they might accidentally provoke
After dealing with his personal issues, Memphis comfortably lay back on the bed, crossing his legs and casually saying:"Dr. Beirne, you did well."This doctor certainly had a talent for deception.In fact, what Memphis didn’t know was that every doctor knew how to deceive people. A good doctor would lie to patients about the severity of their illness, encouraging them to overcome difficulties and instilling hope for recovery. A bad doctor would trick people into buying all sorts of medications for profit.Hearing Memphis’s praise, Dr. Beirne quickly gave a forced smile and said:"Leader, I was just going with the flow..."He had to admit, though, that Memphis’s acting skills were impressive. If he weren’t a doctor with expertise in his field, with knowledge of the body’s natural responses, even he would have been fooled.Memphis smiled thoughtfully and asked:"You have two children, a son and a daughter, right?"Dr. Beirne bowed his head and carefully replied:"Yes…"Memphis casually
Seeing this scene, Memphis was quite satisfied, knowing he had taken another step towards winning the hearts of the people and uniting those here into a solid force. He then raised his hand and spoke:"Now that the zombie horde has been defeated, the enemy leader slain, and the remaining zombies will soon be eradicated, the path to Meadowbrook Lane’s center will soon be cleared.""I hereby announce that from today onwards, all job wages will be doubled, and the amount of daily free relief food will also be doubled.""All those injured in battle will receive contribution points proportional to their injuries. The disabled will maintain their benefits and
Dozens of guns had been damaged during the battle, some lost, others had barrels that had cracked or bent due to excessive firing, drastically reducing their accuracy. The ammunition stockpile had been severely depleted, dropping back to pre-training camp levels.Fortunately, the zombie horde had been wiped out, so the ammunition shortage wasn’t an immediate crisis."Our inventory includes 49 Horse-Slaying Sabers, 136 baseball bats…"While the supply of firearms had dwindled, the supply of cold weapons from the system had increased, signaling that the number of superhumans would soon “proliferate.” These system resources could be consi
Third was Wylie. He was responsible for holding Whispering Avenue, successfully assassinating the strongest F2 level 20 zombie on Whispering, and also taking down the M2 level 24, laying the groundwork and gathering intelligence for the final assault.Fourth was Gemma. She held Sapphire Avenue, played a significant role in eliminating the F2 level 21, and also participated in clearing the evolved zombies on Sapphire.Fifth, surprisingly, was Wallflower. She hadn't directly killed any zombies, but her sniper shots had shattered all the defenses of the zombie horde's command, and her intelligence provided immense support for Hope Town's military plan.Memphis in
Aside from completing half of his mission, Memphis had acquired many potential crystals and mana crystals from the zombies above level 20, as well as a fourth-tier skill, which made him feel satisfied.At this moment, he raised his hand and said:"The mutated chili peppers have ripened, with three of them showing even stronger medicinal properties than before. According to the merit board, Jarred, Wylie, and I will be the ones to use them. However, since Jarred and I have already used them once, the next round will be given to others.""The next three to use the mutated chili peppers will be Wylie, Wallflower, and Kiley."The three people mentioned couldn't hide their joy. The others, once again, swallowed their envy. Consuming a mutated chili pepper could provide benefits equivalent to leveling up three times. And with these peppers being larger and more potent than before, the benefits would be tremendous.Gemma was originally supposed to have a spot, but since she had already consu
At this moment, he stood before the entire leadership and solemnly declared:"Everyone, I may not be someone who speaks much, but I can assure you that I will use every bit of my ability to protect Hope Town, even if it means sacrificing my own life."From the intense determination in Wylie's eyes, one could see an immense resolve. His determination was contagious, filling everyone with hope and anticipation.Outside, in the wide courtyard, the survivors of Hope Town were also gathered around the large bulletin board, reading the latest news."Wylie has been appointed deputy squad leader.""Oh... I'm twice the age of Deputy Leader Rawson...""It seems like Leader Jackman favors young people, doesn’t it?""Indeed, even many of the squad leaders are quite young...""I heard Wylie has been following the leader from early on..."The murmuring among the crowd began to spread, and someone subtly introduced a key point to counter the speculation:"I don’t see it that way. Leader Jackman valu
