2024-09-12 02:01:26Through the binoculars, Memphis stared at the level 18 Explosive Zombie. The zombie, as if sensing his gaze, stopped chewing and looked back at him.
Then, using one hand, it reached over its shoulder, gripping a large fleshy growth with its fingers, and with a loud "snap.” tore it off. Thick, slick black blood sprayed out like a fountain. The level 18 Explosive Zombie showed no concern for the pain, lifting the fleshy mass to its mouth and swallowing it whole in one swift motion.
Its stomach suddenly bulged as if it were nine months pregnant, and under Memphis' horrified gaze, the zombie opened its massive mouth wide and spewed it out.
A dark, misty, bla

Fifteen minutes later, at the H-10 intersection.This place was 600 meters from the battlefield. The main force of Sunny Hills was gathered here for reassurance, inspection, treatment of injuries, and to restore morale.Cormac stood with a grim expression in front of a wooden table, surrounded by several sub-leaders of Sunny Hills, along with people from Hope Town. Everyone’s faces were heavy with concern.Cormac glanced around and asked darkly:"Does anyone have any ideas?"After assessing the battle damage, they had lost a total of 25 combatants, along with 29 guns, one high-mobility jeep, and a significant amount of ammunition. It could be said that a single blow had caused as much damage as three hours of combat.Cormac's question was met with prolonged silence. No one had any suggestions. At this moment, they all desperately wanted to flee. Fighting the zombies seemed pointless now; running away to find refuge elsewhere was the better option.The zombies had evolved to the point
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 386:
In reality, this was a psychological blind spot for everyone. Previously, Sunny Hills had employed a concentrated defense strategy, grouping everything into one unit. However, they faced significant difficulties, repeatedly suffering zombie attacks that led to losses. This made them believe the strategy was outdated and ineffective.Then Memphis arrived and introduced the pincer tactic, using strong forces on both sides to protect the weaker center. The results were favorable, and they quickly concluded that this was the correct approach, the true solution.In truth, both strategies—concentrating into one unit or using the pincer tactic—could work well. The real issue was strength. Sunny Hills' previous concentration strategy failed because they weren’t strong enough; they didn’t have enough high-level forces to protect everyone. But with the reinforcements from Hope Town, their forces were now strong enough to withstand the pressure, and the concentrated defense was actually more sol

Nicky bowed respectfully and responded:"Yes, First Leader."Outwardly, his expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, his thoughts swirled with astonishment. Memphis had mentioned earlier that someone would discuss "a major issue" with him, and now, unexpectedly, it was Memphis himself who had created this opportunity. It was almost unimaginable.If Cormac ever learned that Nicky was secretly plotting against him, with Memphis as the mastermind behind it all, the man who always wore a friendly smile, who knew what kind of reaction Cormac would have?With all preparations in place, the war machine was set in motion once again. Sunny Hills had no shortage of manpower. Though 25 soldiers had fallen, another 25 were promptly deployed, replenishing the ranks. The force was once again bolstered.According to Memphis' plan, eight double-decker buses were brought in and parked in two rows, forming a defensive barrier. The space between the buses became the new holding point for the humans.

But Cormac was too strong, with too many loyal followers. Albin could only bide his time, increasing his power and status while waiting for the opportunity to exact his revenge. He was willing to risk his life, but with his sister in her condition, who would take care of her if he died? Thus, he had no choice but to endure, like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment.There was now someone strong enough to contend with Cormac, and he definitely didn't want to miss the opportunity, willing to gamble everything in a life-or-death fight. He knew Cormac had been attacking the zombie horde for a reason—over the past few days, the man had repeatedly sent people out to search for something, likely the main target being within the zombie horde.Cormac needed to be killed immediately, to prevent him from finding what he sought and gaining a new level of power. Otherwise, the gap between them would widen, and the chance for revenge would become more distant.Memp
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 389:
Amid the blaring alarms, the soldiers in the rear panicked, as memories of previous explosive rounds flooded back, filling them with the urge to flee. However, Cormac had already imposed martial law. Four or five fierce-looking soldiers armed with submachine guns stood on the jeeps at the back, ready to shoot anyone who dared flee.The defensive soldiers in the front quickly responded. Under Yosef's skilled command, three tall and thick earth walls were summoned. At the same time, four or five layers of thick qi shields covered the airspace above the battalion, sealing off the 50 meters of space in front of them.Moreover, they unleashed a barrage of long-range attacks aimed directly at the incoming fireballs. Although hitting the fast and small targets was difficult, quantity made up for precision. The fireballs might dodge 10 attacks, but they only needed to be struck once to explode, stopping the gray flames and the rotting flesh mid-air.Six of the sixteen fireballs were intercept

In a temporary tent, the allied forces of both sides were meeting. The commanders and leaders wore grim expressions, and many looked exhausted.Sunny Hills was once again nearly out of ammunition, with only about 10,000 rounds left. By 7 p.m., they would likely have nothing left to shoot.At that moment, Cormac turned to Memphis and asked:"Brother Jackman, I need to purchase more ammunition. What terms do you propose?"His patience was wearing thin. If it hadn’t been for the appearance of the Explosion Types, they could have spread out their forces and effectively wiped out the zombies. Perhaps they wouldn’t have been pushed back so quickly. But these absurd monsters had appeared, ruining all their plans and forcing them into a defensive retreat, step by step, toward defeat.Not only that, but in the two hours that had passed, he had fully devoted himself to fending off the evolved zombies, only managing to earn 700 experience points—a painfully slow leveling rate that left him incre

Cormac’s tone was firm, as if refusing to allow any further negotiation. But Memphis was a master manipulator, and he knew he could still push for a better deal. However, even if the bullets ended up with Cormac, it was as good as them staying with his own soldiers. So Memphis smiled and said:"Good, deal done. We also need a supply of baseball bats, machetes, various first- and second-tier skills... And we need a number of trucks, pickup trucks, and refrigerated vehicles... and so on."Cormac gritted his teeth, ultimately deciding to sell off more of his resources.If they won this battle, he’d regain it all. If they lost, there would be nothing l

If things became too difficult, he could even abandon the current mission, retreat from Sunny Hills, accept a three-level demotion, and slowly rebuild his strength later.He had been backed into a corner. Seizing a chance for survival was the only path forward.And once Memphis was dead, he could claim the beautiful woman at his side...Cormac licked his lips in anticipation, while Nicky carefully suggested:"First Leader, should we leave the Second Leader behind to guard the camp?"Latest Chapter

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

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

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

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…”“

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.“
