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
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
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
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. Boom!Five seconds after Wylie left, a charred black shadow crashed down from the sky. It was none other than the Devourer, its entire body burned black.It could locate Wylie thanks to both sound and scent.Wylie didn't use any perfume; he was the second bait!"Reckkkkkk!"The E2 Devourer screeched madly, its mind filled with nothing but hatred and fury. The pain fueled its terrifying speed, and with a slight push off the ground, its entire body shot forward like a cannonball.Wylie clenched his teeth, his survival instincts screaming at him. He quickly activated the "jump" command in his mind, and the jet shoes on his feet, as if equipped with rockets, propelled him forward in an instant.Bam!"Reckkkk!"The Devourer missed its second strike, leaving nothing but shattered bricks and dust in its wake. It opened its mouth, emitting an enraged sound, vowing to kill the tiny creature.After activating his leap skill for the first time, Wylie immediately activated it a second time withouApocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 43: Bathing In A 5000-Liter Saltwater Pool.
Memphis, shrouded in a white glow, commanded, summoning another ice spear and hurling it down, taking advantage of the immobilized beast. The ice spear pierced E2's skull."Reckkkk... Kheezzee... Kheezzee Kheezzee...."Even with its head pierced, E2 couldn't be killed!Its body convulsed, the massive ice block cracking ominously, seemingly unable to withstand the immense force.Memphis watched as Lionel carried the unconscious Amanda away, saw Jarred hefting Kiley and Zeth as they fled, and noticed Wylie looping back to the car outside. A sense of relief started to settle in his heart.He waved his hand, sending ten beams of white light downward. Four of the beams continued to reinforce the ice block, while the remaining six beams followed the three ice spears embedded in the Devourer's back, forcefully penetrating its body."Reckk Kheezzee Kheezzee"The Devourer let out a hideous, broken scream. Its tooth-filled mouth spun, crushing and shattering the ice shards. But this block of ic
