2024-06-12 01:01:26Once 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 withou

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

Realizing this, Wylie felt a bit embarrassed but, driven by youthful bravado, refused to back down. A treasure within reach—why not take it? Before Memphis could stop him, he had already bent down to pick it up.Memphis squinted at Wylie. If this boy made any sudden move, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill him immediately.After picking up the item, Wylie stood still for a few seconds, then blushed and scratched his head, saying:"The system said something, but I didn’t understand it."Seeing that Wylie hadn’t turned into a zombie, Memphis let o

If Memphis were a vile person, and Hope Town was a cesspool of corruption, there would have been no need for Sarah to openly declare their connection. A quiet escape plan would have sufficed. Sarah’s immediate transparency indicated her unwillingness to conceal anything and her clear desire to align herself with Memphis.She wanted more than just a foothold in Hope Town. She sought influence and power, no longer content to remain merely a legal advisor. For this, she was willing to risk breaking the rules, even knowing the law better than anyone."A place with people will inevitably have conflicts. Violating principles like this may be wrong in theory, but it feels right emotionally."Memphis couldn’t stop others from harboring personal agendas, nor could he prev

This allowed all his actions to seem justified, fitting within any narrative one could perceive. It made him entirely unreadable—his thoughts a mystery, his intentions obscure, and even his decisions, once made, felt inevitable.“Lawless.”Calling himself a bandit wasn’t a self-deprecating joke—it was the raw truth.Memphis glanced coldly at the two masterminds before letting his gaze drift to the clueless “big-bottomed lamb” standing there. A wave of irritation immediately washed over him.Big chests lacking brains had been proven time and time again. Who would have thought big bottoms shared the same fate? This woman didn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation at all. She displayed no hint of fear.When Rosa noticed Memphis looking at her instead of the document, and even claiming it was a forgery, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “How could it be fake? You haven’t even read it; how would you know if it’s real or not?"The corner of Memphis's mouth twitched uncontrollab

Memphis was indeed frowning at the omission in the materials. Everything else was fine; nothing seemed worthy of criticism—so where was the residents' survey of preferences?Don’t say they forgot? What kind of operation is this?Just as he was about to ask, Rosa spoke first:“Memphis, I have something to tell you.”Instinctively curious, Memphis replied: “What is it?”Rosa’s inner smile grew. His propensity for "snooping" was too high—one vague sentence was enough to make him forget about scolding. She lowered her voice, adopting a pleading tone:“My grandfather wants to talk to you.”"Hm? Adolph? What could he want from me? Aren’t all proposals supposed to go through Sarah first?"Sarah, who Memphis had assigned from Hope Town to temporarily oversee operations, was responsible for compiling and preliminarily reviewing all proposals from Crimson Flame's residents.It struck him then: something was off. Why was this rookie delivering the message instead of Sarah?His brow furrowed slig

5:30 PM on Day 24 Post-Apocalypse, outskirts of Crimson Flame Town.Eight hours into the rescue mission, the 4th Reserve Battalion, working in tandem with 24 Dagger members, successfully rescued 277 survivors from approximately 70% of the central town’s territory. This is an astounding number, highlighting the stark survival disparity.Crimson Flame Town's center had about 40,000 residents. To find 277 survivors by Day 24, with the potential for even more from the remaining areas, is remarkable. In contrast, Renaissance County and its surrounding zones, with a larger population, yielded only 158 survivors by Day 12—12 days earlier.Where Manipulation Types exist, human survival becomes extraordinarily tenuous.Memphis emerged from a small ice shard, his face etched with exhaustion. He and Wylie were the principal forces combing the southwestern region for survivors. Within a 4-kilometer radius of the maternity clinic, not a single soul remained unaccounted for, even the faintest signs

Splash! Splash! Splash!The stones crashed into the lake like meteors slamming into the sea. Each impact sent waves surging violently, water spraying up to three meters high. Stones that missed the lake shattered the courtyard, spraying bloodstained concrete and debris everywhere. The entire area turned into chaos, the once serene surroundings now a murky mess.Jarred’s unconventional attack style could easily rival bomb strikes."Hssaaahhh…"From the lake’s center, countless purple bubbles, each the size of a fist, burst forth, releasing toxic green gas. Bloodied slime mixed with frothy water splattered about, creating a grotesque spectacle. A furious, cold-blooded hiss pierced the air, and a mas
Chapter 740:
The walls being constructed by Hope Township consist of three layers with a total thickness of 1 meter. The primary components include mud mixed with mutated vines and barbed wire, reinforced with large stones and a steel core. The outer layers are sheathed in metal sheets and reinforced with sturdy wooden braces, making them incredibly difficult to destroy. Additionally, after construction, the walls are further strengthened by Earth Manipulation practitioners, compacting the earth and stone tightly for added durability.This segment of the wall had collapsed, the crumbled dirt resembling cold porridge, with steel rods scattered as far as 20 meters away. Some metal sheets and barbed wire were also punctured, showcasing the sheer brute force of the snake responsible for the destruction.Jarred examined two nearby sedans, both twisted

Jarred blinked twice, then responded: “I’m quite interested, but I don’t have any magic crystals on me right now."Anthony waved dismissively: “No rush, no rush. We have plenty of time."With that, both men exchanged smiles, the atmosphere between them amicable to the extreme.Five minutes later, the Lakeside convoy disappeared into the dusty horizon. Jarred narrowed his eyes slightly, then snapped his fingers. A second figure, an exact reflection of himself, formed out of moonlight.Once the Reflection summoned by the Simulation Ring materialized: “it" donned clothing and took a few documents from Jarred. Flashing a grin, it said: “How about we swap missions? You meet with the 'n

Seven seconds later, Jarred landed on the eastern bank of Grieving River.Three jeeps from Lakeside's government awaited them, accompanied by over a dozen officials and soldiers. Witnessing Jarred’s effortless flight, they couldn’t help but swallow nervously.Lakeside had someone capable of flight as well—Verne Riddle. But this Lawton fellow was far too skilled and smooth, not even producing the slightest sound of rushing wind.Jarred landed in front of the three jeeps and released Sherwin and his companions. Scanning the group of ten people before him, he nodded and said: “The handover is complete. You may leave now."The staff immediately stepped forward to inspect the three Phó memb
Chapter 737:
"The first approach is ideological harmony. Hope Township abandons its pursuit of self-reliance and agrees to follow the state’s centralized policies. Alternatively, Lakeside County could cease its ambition to connect with Harbor Line District and instead ally with Hope Township to rebel. In either case, the conflict would dissolve on its own. Of course, this approach is too far-fetched to even consider.""The second approach is ideological suppression. Hope Township and Lakeside County resolve to fight to the death. The losing side would vanish, taking its ideology to the afterlife. The winning side seizes all resources and celebrates victory, gaining more fuel to sustain the engine of peace. This destructive option has already occurred. While its consequences have not been catastrophic yet, there is a significant risk of it reoccurring if the third approach cannot succeed."
