2024-09-14 22:04:09At the same time, snow began to fall around them, soon turning into a blizzard. Each flake that touched the members of Sunny Hills caused them to shiver uncontrollably. Muscles tightened, and teeth chattered from the bitter cold.
However, the snow evaporated before even touching Cormac, dissipating into thin mist. Though unaffected physically, Cormac’s fury only grew as he shouted coldly:
“Shoot him!”
At Cormac’s command, the dozen or so men around him all drew their guns, unloading a barrage of bullets toward Memphis. The storm of metal rained down on the ice barrier, chipping away at it, embedding deep into its surface. Some bullets s

Cormac let out a weary breath, drained from using up a significant portion of his potential points. But as he looked at the scene before him, a chilling dread welled up inside."An illusion? A decoy? An ambush?"He quickly realized something was terribly wrong, and the urge to flee surged within him. The enemy had taunted him, luring him into wasting many attacks. This had all been a ploy to distract and deplete his energy while setting up an ambush around him.He had already used up nearly a third of his stamina and mental power. Having lost the element of surprise, he was now in the worst possible position—vulnerable to an enemy lurking in the shadows.

At the last possible moment, Cormac’s eyes flared with fiery rage, and he roared:"Fire Body!"His defensive class skill, Fire Body.With a thought, his entire body burst into wild, blue-purple flames, radiating an unbearable heat. The mutant dog’s sharp claws swiped through Cormac’s flaming head but passed right through without resistance, leaving no trace.The Big Black Dog, disbelieving, snapped its jaws at Cormac’s fiery shoulder, but its bite only met flames, causing its mouth to sizzle and burn.

A dense frost aura enveloped Memphis, a brilliant, icy white light swirling around him. His burst strength activated, doubling all of his stats. He pointed toward the sky, his voice icy and calm:"Let’s test Soul Suppression on a human for the first time. Take it easy, just eight points of intelligence."A thick, overwhelming surge of mental power gathered like a raging flood and then exploded outward. Starting from Memphis, the phantom wave crashed across the distance, slamming down on the Fire Human with brutal force, detonating like a summer firework."Urgh…"

A silver, ethereal glow appeared around Memphis, cracking like fragile glass, ready to shatter completely in just a few more seconds.“Damn it.”Jarred felt the gravity of the situation. This was Memphis’s life-saving skill, the third-tier Illusionary Sphere. Once it activated, it meant the person was on the verge of death, with their life hanging by a thread. If the situation didn’t turn around soon, death was inevitable.“Boss, wake up! Wake up!”Jarred held both of Memphis’s arms tightly, shaking him violently in an at

The soul—an exact replica of himself—stood watch over his mind. Now, it was being tightly bound by a seal made of countless overlapping squares and circles. Every thought that arose had to "pass through" this seal, be molded by its endless shapes, thousands upon thousands of repetitions, until all thoughts turned into "Self-harm.""Haha, how interesting, truly fascinating. So, this is the essence of the skill... If I can somehow create a 'mold' and impose it on a target, I could make that person generate endless thoughts identical to the 'mold'..."Memphis kept thinking deeply, despite the pain and discomfort surrounding him, as he continued to mumble to himself with Soul Type:<

Outside, seven or eight people were gathered around Memphis, packed tightly together as they unleashed various energy-boosting skills and directed them toward their leader. Sasha Weber had also been summoned, and she cast a purple glow onto Memphis, restoring 50% of his stamina and 50% of his mental strength. As for which negative effects had been removed, she had no idea.In the distance, Nicky Weiss was tying up Graham Ewing with thick ropes. Despite Graham’s furious curses, Nicky shoved a rag into his mouth and knocked him out with a blow to the back of the head. With that done, Nicky glanced at the seven or eight others lying around groaning in pain, then looked at the massive black dog, its tongue lolling and tail wagging like a creature far too large for comfort. A cold shiver ran through him.Earlier, when Nicky had used Nowhere To Run for reconnaissance, it was the sight of this dog that had nearly made him scream and flee. If he hadn’t seen Jarred hiding nearby or trusted Mem

Memphis sighed in relief and immediately gave an order:"Help me transfer all the injuries from my right arm to my left."Hearing his command, Gemma quickly stepped forward. Her hand glowed with a white light as she touched the fracture on Memphis's right arm, moving it across his shoulder, over his chest, and down to his left arm. During this process, Memphis's face paled slightly as he felt the bones seemingly break again along the path of the transfer. Finally, his left arm was completely fractured.Two injuries became one. Such was the magic of the apocalypse.He couldn’t help but marvel at the phenomenon, stifling a few yawns to suppress his nausea, before slowly saying:"Thank you... Alright, everyone, back to your positions. Get ready to lead the troops to Sunny Hills."Gemma, feeling a bit disappointed by his casual, almost dismissive tone, as though she were just another subordinate, bit her lip gently, whispered an "okay” and turned to leave.The other team captains quickly

Around ten of them glared at Tobin with cold, hateful eyes, shouting curses:"Tobin, you traitor! You’ll die a miserable death for betraying the First Leader!""Release us now, and you might still have a chance to survive!""You **#!%&@*!!"These people had been stripped of their weapons by Tobin’s deception and given water mixed with zombie blood and high doses of laxatives. Now, their strength had been drained, leaving them weak from diarrhea and vomiting, unable to fight. After being poisoned and subjected to "medical treatment" in a makeshift tent, they were tied up, and anyone who resisted was immediately subdued by dozens of soldiers from Hope Town along with more than twenty rebels.With the difference in strength and firepower, the task had been relatively easy.Though the power struggle had resulted in the deaths of 27 people, Tobin was unbothered. Memphis had given him a target of under 30 casualties, and he had achieved that. Moreover, the dead were all die-hard loyalists t

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

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.“
