Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 373:
Wallflower took a deep breath, calming her emotions, and responded steadily:"First, I want to contact the government in Lakeside County."Memphis raised an eyebrow. Did this woman plan to seek resources from there?He started calculating in his mind. Even if the Lakeside County team left at 6 a.m., they would still have to travel 11 kilometers to reach Lakeside Bridge, a route crawling with zombies, possibly blocked by Devouring Type or Manipulation Type zombies. They couldn’t move quickly. After crossing the bridge and reaching the Renaissance center, they would face a level 25 F2 assassin, making it even more difficult to reach Hope Town in time.The group had said they would arrive by noon, but based on Memphis's calculations, it would be at least afternoon, or even late evening, before they got there. They couldn’t possibly carry several tens of thousands of bullets on the road with them, and they certainly didn’t have extra ammunition to ransom anyone.Distant water can’t quench
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 374:
Memphis knew Wallflower was no ordinary person. She was likely the daughter of someone incredibly powerful, with extensive knowledge of weapon caches and supplies. Her comments like “That belongs to the state, you can’t just take it” or “Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you” had revealed as much. So, from the moment he handed her the radio, he had been angling for an exchange of information. When she refused, he had already resolved to trick her.But back then, he was still weak and disreputable, hardly capable of fooling Wallflower. She saw through his love of trickery, his bandit-like nature, and even his underlying mission in building Hope Town. It had been impossible to regain her trust.Using violence or torture to force her hand? That would have been the most foolish option, and Memphis rarely resorted to such crude methods. He wasn’t skilled in torture, and it would likely only work once at best. Against someone as resilient and principled as Wallflower, who was devoted to the g
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 375:
If the apocalypse hadn’t happened, if life had continued peacefully, not in 14 days, not in 14 months, not in 14 years, not even in 14 lifetimes, would Wallflower have ever developed feelings for Memphis? One was a princess born with a silver spoon, the other a hustler barely scraping by on a $3,000-a-month salary, drowning in debt because of scams. No matter how you looked at it, they were from completely different worlds—parallel lines never meant to intersect.But fate took a strange turn. From the moment Memphis saved Wallflower from the mutated cat’s claws to now, after everything they had been through together, those two parallel lines somehow found a point of intersection.Memphis had never been confident in his appearance or his ch
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 376:
Wallflower had expected Memphis to make excuses or try to explain, giving her a chance to dig deeper for information. She never expected him to directly admit it. This left her momentarily stunned, but it didn't stop her from narrowing her eyes and calmly saying:"Speak."Memphis licked his lips and shamelessly replied:"In truth, after trying twice, I figured out how to suppress the fire from the mutated chili peppers so it wouldn't burn the user's clothes. When I deliberately stripped you earlier, well, it was to take advantage of you and also to... you know, see what's underneath. Maybe take things a bit further if I got the chance..."
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 377:
After outlining the basic plan and gathering the personnel, the convoy of six vehicles began moving towards Sapphire Boulevard. They then turned onto the S9 side road and continued along the levee.The S9 road had long been blocked off, and the wide road was free of zombies. Naturally, all the wandering zombies had already been drawn to the center of Renaissance District by M2 level 24.The convoy ran for about 7 minutes before turning onto a gravel branch road beside rows of tung trees and high-voltage poles. They were getting very close to the river now. After driving for another 3 minutes, they saw a long row of green factories and a dock scattered with moored boats.

In another corner, Michal Reilly flipped open a wooden crate and shouted:"12.7mm bullets! They're 12.7mm bullets!"Memphis grew visibly excited. He quickly stepped over and peered into the crate. Inside were rows of long, brass-colored bullets, cold and gleaming with destructive power.These were powerful weapons, capable of piercing even S2 level 23 armor, withstanding no more than 150 rounds at a time.There were 10,000 bullets here—yes, 10,000 rounds, a literal jackpot of ammunition."Collect everything and transport it outside.""Yes, sir!"At Memphis’ command, the group began hauling the heavy crates of bullets outside. They were all superhumans, with enhanced strength and stamina, easily able to carry two crates at once without issue.In another warehouse, rows of green wooden crates were opened, revealing numerous rifles neatly arranged inside.Jarred, looking at the rifles, let out a groan:"Oh, these are CKC rifles. All of them are CKCs. This old relic has been decommissione
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 379:
Transporting such a massive amount of ammunition and supplies took time, far more than just an hour. Memphis decided to leave Jarred in charge.He inquired about the progress of the zombie extermination in the three battle zones, exchanged a few important plans, and finally headed back with seven crates of ammunition containing 21,000 rounds, two RPG-2 launchers, and ten PG-2 HEAT rounds.He still had a deal to complete with Cormac and couldn’t afford any delays here.He was even starving by now, having missed lunch.When Memphis returned to Hope, he hopped out in front of the town gate and howled loudly:"Hooooooo..."Five minutes later, a pitch-black dog, as large as a buffalo, with sharp bristles and a bare back, slowly emerged from an alley.Memphis chuckled to himself as he watched. This foolish dog—it had been hiding nearby, but his enhanced sense of smell had already picked up on it. Yet the creature still made a show of arriving slowly, trying to act as if it had come from a g
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 380:
Seeing Nicky's pale face, Memphis smirked. Handling paranoid types like him was easy—just give them more to worry about. The vial Nicky had just consumed was nothing more than a good healing potion mixed with a bit of mango tea, designed to scare him.If you’re going to use someone, you have to trust them. For others, that might be true, but not for Memphis—he believed in controlling people by grasping their weak points.After ensuring Nicky didn’t vomit, Memphis finally spoke in a grave tone:"Before this evening’s meal, ensure the safety of as many survivors as possible... Alright, I’ll have someone contact you later."

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.“
