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

A young man around 25 or 26, with a pale face like someone who indulged in wine and women, stood there. Two young women, about 21 or 22, extremely beautiful, were with him. Memphis found one of them vaguely familiar but couldn’t immediately place her.All three wore expensive clothes. Memphis recognized the brands from magazines, something like Hermes or Gucci. He couldn’t afford them, didn’t remember clearly, just knew enough to not seem unsophisticated and occasionally used the knowledge to impress others.The young man hurriedly said:"Hello, my name is Winston Robinson, and these are Esme and Gemma. May I ask your name? Are you from the government?"Memphis shook his head:"My name is Memphis Jackman. I haven't encountered any government officials yet... I have a small group, just a few people who have come together to help each other and establish a small base."Winston Robinson couldn't hide his disappointment. But he quickly lifted his spirits and sincerely said:"Memphis, we'r
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 37: No Luck!
Once the three had left, Gemma looked at Memphis with clear eyes and said:"I understand that absolute power requires a great price... Memphis, what must I pay to gain strength?"Memphis smirked; this woman was like Kiley, knowing how to navigate relationships well. Kiley was subtle and clever, while Gemma was more direct and straightforward.He was silent for a moment, then calmly said,"I haven't thought about it yet. Honestly, I don't need anything from you. My own problems are giving me enough headaches to solve, and you currently don't have the capacity to o
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 38: Listen To The Strong!
Memphis waited for Gemma to finish off the third zombie before casually stepping forward to pick up the skill book and examine it.“Ding. First-level active skill: Weapon Enhancement! Skill attribute: Enhances the attributes and damage of the current weapon by 50%. Skill activation: consumes 2 stamina, 1 intelligence point. Duration: 1 minute. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Note: Skill power and duration are determined by the weapon's attributes and skill level.”Memphis was stunned; this skill was quite unique.In a way, the stronger the weapon, the stronger this skill would be, with virtually no limit. If he had a weapon with 100 strength points, this skill would add 50 more, which would be incredibly powerful.However, he was overthinking it. A 100-strength weapon might be a level 10 item. Currently, the best he had was a level 2 broadsword, adding 2 strength and 1 agility. Finding a level 10 weapon might take years. Plus, while a 50% weapon power increase was significant, it was somewhat re

The remaining six people eagerly expressed their intentions. Wylie, the most impatient, hurriedly asked:"Memphis, when will we continue clearing out the zombies?"He had been found by Jarred and, after witnessing Jarred’s prowess, he was filled with admiration and desire.Even without mentioning Jarred, the others in Memphis’s team had abilities that made people envious.Lionel, for instance, could slice a zombie in half with a single swing, showcasing immense strength.The dandy Zoran could summon fire.The beautiful woman Kiley could call down lightning, and even her young son Winter had speed that made Wylie dizzy.Before the apocalypse, Wylie was a rebellious youth. Despite his relatively wealthy family, he loved street fights, gathering with gangs, and causing trouble. Now, witnessing abilities only seen in online games, how could he not desire them?Memphis glanced around. Among the six new members, some were eager, some calm, some anxious, some impatient, and some highly deter
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 40: Zombie Persuasion Plan.
In this new world, Lionel had to accept that paper money was now worthless, and only food was the strongest "currency."If this were before the apocalypse, the position of treasurer could have been incredibly lucrative. But now, it was difficult to embezzle supplies. Supplies weren't like money that could be stashed in a safe or a bank account. The title of treasurer had prestige but little substance.However, Lionel didn't resent it too much. As their group grew, this position would gradually show its soft power. Eventually, he could be seen as second only to Memphis in authority.Memphis casually continued his appointments:"Amanda, you'll assist Lionel."Amanda was silent for a few seconds before finally nodding in agreement.She found it amusing that she had come full circle back to assisting Lionel, still his "secretary." Truly laughable.Memphis, Lionel, and Amanda were all part of the same con artist company. How could Memphis not know that Lionel had secretly taken a few cans
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 41: Bait!
Memphis thought for a moment and replied honestly: “If we add up the levels of everyone with combat ability, we might still fall short of that monster's level."Jarred fell silent for a moment, then smirked: “Haha, I'll be the one to smash its head."Memphis shook his head, smiling: “If everything goes well, you might not even get a chance to touch it. If we fail, we might all be dead within seconds of the fight starting..."At this point, Memphis couldn't turn back. He knew he could run, but hiding would only be temporary...If there's one Devo

After driving for over a kilometer, Jarred suddenly pointed ahead:"Boss, something strange over there."Memphis squinted, tapped the window, and shouted:"Drive another 100 meters, then turn back to the red house across the street."Lionel immediately complied, accelerating forward, then turning around and slowly approaching the red house.Memphis took a deep breath in excitement.Latest Chapter
Chapter 762:
With his extensive knowledge of the extraordinary, Memphis quickly came to a conclusion about Big Black Dog:"Evolution?"The dog was currently at Level 29. It had consumed vast quantities of magical crystals, potions, zombie flesh, and countless extraordinary treasures. If it didn’t evolve after all that, it would truly be a disgrace to its lineage.Big Black Dog’s evolution delighted Memphis. If this dumb dog broke through to Level 30, Hope Town would finally have a true powerhouse. Be it mutated snakes or frogs, one strike would flatten them.Moreover, the fact that the dog chose to evolve here, without any concern for external dangers, indicated its absolute trust in the safety of this area.Both Shaina and Big Black Dog had, in their own ways, demonstrated their trust in Hope Town’s security on the same day. It was a good omen.Jarred, standing anxiously nearby, couldn’t help but ask nervously after seeing his boss bark and receive no response from the pet:"Boss, what’s wrong wi
Chapter 761:
In Hope Town, those who were soft and delicate often chose lighter roles. Few made it to the ranks of official soldiers by Day 25 of the apocalypse, as the path was grueling, taxing both physically and mentally, often at the expense of one’s appearance.Pressed under the immense aura radiating from Memphis, Paula bit her lip and decisively raised her hand. In her palm spun five rapidly rotating fire blades, a sign of her determination to try rather than retreat.Seeing her resolve, the onlookers grew attentive, their anticipation palpable.The five second-tier Fire Blades in Paula’s hand began spinning faster, showing signs of merging into a single, cohesive fiery wheel.However, courage couldn’t quell her nerves. The Fire Wheel was uneven, fluctuating between cohesion and separation, on the verge of exploding prematurely.Osiris grew agitated, nearly shouting in frustration. Memphis, on the other hand, merely furrowed his brows slightly and instructed calmly:"Release it."Whoosh.Pa
Chapter 760:
At this moment, he swung his hand forward, sending the half-meter Fire Wheel hurtling toward the wooden dummy stationed at the enemy's position. Upon impact, it exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing eight massive arcs of fire that engulfed a 40-meter radius in a fiery inferno.The continuous burning effect became evident. Even in the barren clearing, where nothing substantial remained, flames roared with increasing intensity. Each second saw the fire spreading wider, melting sand and gravel into molten sludge. The fiery devastation painted the sky crimson with its overwhelming heat.The surrounding team members watched the scene in stunned silence, their bodies trembling. If such an attack were directed at them, there would be no escape—they’d be reduced to charred remains in seconds.Osiris pointed at the massive blaze in the distance and said:"This is nearly the maximum power of the third-tier Fire Blade that I can unleash. Both the inward compression and outward release forms
Chapter 759:
Once connected, he followed Osiris's steps, using his willpower to continuously enhance his control over the skill.After ten seconds, the Fire Blade indeed shrank in size, turned blue, increased in pressure, and spun twice as fast as before.Seeing this, the team member grinned widely and laughed: “It works! Haha, it works! I did it!"However, as he laughed, the fiery blade began to wobble uncontrollably. Within moments, it lost its compressed state with a faint puff and reverted to normal—even showing signs of extinguishing.Osiris, witnessing this, roared angrily: “Focus! Stay focused! Damn it, do you want to kill someone? If you release a half-baked compressed strike, it's more dangerous than a basic attack. It might even explode on the spot! You're training, not fooling around—what the hell are you laughing about?"His frustration was justified. Osiris had endured countless explosions while perfecting Fire Wheel, and the mere thought of it triggered his lingering trauma.Luckily,
Chapter 758:
Osiris wanted those wielding Fire Blade to master the skill to the point where the first dummy could burn entirely without the second dummy being affected by the "continuous burning" effect.Why? So that melee fighters working alongside ranged attackers wouldn’t be hindered by friendly fire, wouldn’t fear being accidentally struck, and wouldn’t be obstructed by or trapped behind flaming zombies.The official member who had just been scolded by Osiris failed this test. His Fire Blade strike produced six flaming blades. Five ignited the first dummy, while one mistakenly hit the second dummy, reducing both to ashes.If the second dummy had been a melee teammate fighting on the front lines, it would have been a case of accidental manslaughter.At this point, Osiris stepped into the training area. The logistics crew, understanding his intentions, quickly replaced the burnt dummies with two fresh ones, setting them up within the target circle.The new dummies were placed just 15 cm apart. N
Chapter 757:
Setting aside the reconnaissance report, Memphis turned to two documents on his desk. One was a criminal wanted notice from Harbor Line District, with Gemma’s name prominently listed, and the other was a communique regarding facilitating contact for the relatives of surviving residents.After a careful 10-minute review, Memphis assigned two tasks to Amanda for execution.The final item on his evening agenda was reviewing the combat footage of Jarred versus the mutated snake.Picking up the video recorder, Memphis yawned as he played back the scene of a two-legged human and a legless reptile locked in an intense chase."This snake looks pretty strong…”"Is this a water snake?”“Spitting venom like that... nasty.”“Damn, it’s fast as hell…”“If it were chasing me, I’d be screwed immediately…”“What? That Void Strike, a fourth-tier skill, is insane…”“I wonder how snake meat tastes…”“Grilled, it tastes grilled. Boiled, it tastes boiled…”“I’ve heard snake-infused liquor is excellent…”“
Chapter 756:
The consequences were too severe for anyone to risk. Even the most greedy wouldn’t dare.And for those thinking they could abscond with the skill? Escape where? Lakeside? That was laughable. How far could they run? For how long?Memphis activated the gray-white skill, carefully focusing on it. In an instant, a mechanical system voice echoed in his ears:"Ding! Fourth-tier active skill: 'Tiger Lost in the Plains.' Skill attribute: Creates a suppression zone with a 10-meter radius around the user. Enemies entering this zone cannot deal critical damage to the user and take an additional 10-30% random damage from the user's attacks. Skill consumption: 10 stamina, 5 intellect. Skill duration: 10 seconds. Skill cooldown: 60 seconds. Can be enhanced and advanced."As the mechanical voice faded, Memphis couldn't help but feel an odd expression crossing his face."Seriously, how can a skill name sound this 'dramatic'?""'Tiger Lost in the Plains'—clearly derived from the idiom 'A tiger humbled
Chapter 755:
In the world of the underworld, one’s fate isn’t entirely their own.In the world of skills, abilities aren’t entirely one’s own.In the world of zombies, existence isn’t entirely their own.These days, even being a zombie isn’t easy.Zombies must endure various constraints, unable to "live" as they please.Even if they remain still, they instinctively feel hunger and are driven to seek humans to devour. Once they find humans, they risk being destroyed. Even if they don’t actively hunt, humans will seek them out to kill, drawn by the experience and resources they carry. Their very existence is intrinsically tied to the underworld.If there’s no food, they can starve, hiding lazily in backyards without provoking anyone. They could choose to avoid the world, gaze at the sky and ground, and resolve to be kind and virtuous zombies. But even then, they aren’t free. Zombies that sit quietly like tame dogs will still be dragged off by Manipulation Types to act as errand runners, unaware of w
Chapter 754:
The zombie-attracting waves emitted by the Manipulation Type, Manipulate M3 Dragon Light, were expanding. Its ability to replenish its forces suggested its war machine’s sustainability, with no risk of depleting resources.The report ended there, leaving Memphis deep in thought, his brows tightly knitted.With its current arsenal, Hope Town was unlikely to withstand the 110,000-strong zombie horde.The Soul Suppression attacks from M3 had an exceptionally long range. Meanwhile, Hope Town’s long-range firepower consisted of only three 2a28 Grom cannons, which were far too sparse. The remaining weaponry lacked sufficient range, forcing them into mid- or close-range combat—a perilous endeavor.“
