Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 442:
"After all, they're just bandits, not a proper military force—how could they accomplish anything? The 200,000 rounds of ammo in the reserve must have been wasted..."Richard silently assessed the situation. He had been waiting there since 6 p.m., watching the defeated soldiers of Hope Town return from the front lines, all in a miserable state. Some teams were even drenched in blood, their spirits visibly broken, as if they were utterly exhausted.Hope Town was indeed impressive in post-apocalyptic reconstruction, likely thanks to the substantial resources of Renaissance County backing it. However, when it came to combat, they ultimately fell short.He put on a sympathetic expression and offered a few cursory words of encouragement before getting to the point:"Commander Jackman, I have an official document from the government. We sincerely hope to collaborate with you."It was already 8 p.m., and he should have completed his mission long ago, returning with the task results to Lakesid
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 443:
Once he lost this position, it would mean losing the benefits of a deputy head, and as a mere Level 5 Superhuman, what could he do to sustain his life, especially since he had a wife and two children still living in Lakeside? Who would they rely on...?In fact, the second condition was just a probing tactic. The government knew full well that forcing a bunch of bandits to immediately disarm and surrender was unlikely, and even if they succeeded in disarming them, they wouldn't be able to use them right away. What they wanted was to observe the attitude of these people while keeping a close eye on the leadership of Hope Town to exploit them more effectively.With the zombie horde at Renaissance advancing, Richard felt confident he could buy more time, at least until the end of tomorrow, without facing demands for an immediate response. In fact, they might not issue a summons until the zombie horde was dealt with here. Of course, with a gold mine like this, it had to be mined slowly...

After a while, Arlen Terry, Head of Communications, requested a face-to-face meeting.Holding the radio in his hand, Memphis greeted with a serious expression:"Chief Terry, we meet again.""Leader Jackman, a pleasure, a pleasure."After exchanging brief pleasantries, Arlen Terry got straight to the point:"How long do you expect it will take to defeat the horde of zombies over there?"Memphis pretended to consider for a moment before answering honestly:"If we have your support, two days, but if not, it'll take us three more days to take them down..."On the other end, Arlen Terry also paused for a moment, seemingly confirming something with someone. After a while, he cautiously asked:"Leader Jackman, I understand you still have a BTR-60 and four BTR-152 armored vehicles, as well as 12.7mm heavy
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 445:
Ten minutes later, after nearly being suffocated, Memphis hurriedly turned his head to avoid the soft sensation and gasped for breath, coughing twice, pretending to be weak before slowly speaking:"Alright, is the job done?"Amanda let out a cold huff, lightly slapping Memphis on the cheek before scolding: “You don’t even care about whether I’m alive or dead and all you can think about is the job?"'Damn, aren't you alive and well?' Memphis cursed silently in his heart. From his backpack, he pulled out a large pile of experience crystals, potential crystals, skill books, item cards, 12.7mm shell casings, a few scattered rings—an assortment of random goods—tossing them all onto the table as he replied: “Feeling better now?"Amanda leaned forward to gather everything up, but after seeing Memphis’s pale, exhausted face, she gritted her teeth in frustration, throwing everything back on the table and scolding him: “Giving a woman gifts but being stingy like this? Can’t you be a little more
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 446:
Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Memphis had to back down and compromise, saying:“Once this is all over, I’ll appoint you as the leader of Hope Town, is that enough?”Amanda scoffed and shot him a disdainful look before saying sharply:“I don’t care for that title. This ruined town of yours is about to be flattened, and you’re looking for a scapegoat, aren’t you? I want something else!”Memphis felt a twinge of guilt hearing her tone, especially when he noticed her moist eyes—this woman was clearly in the mood. He swallowed hard and forced a smile:“You’re not planning to do anything here, are you? This is the meeting room…”Amanda leaned close to Memphis, her red lips whispering softly in his ear:“So what if it’s the meeting room? Isn’t that more exciting…”...!!!After much difficulty, Memphis finally managed to get Amanda to leave, giving him a brief moment of rest.He called it rest, but in reality, he was contemplating his next moves.The orders he gave Amanda to s
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 447:
The Lakeside Bridge hasn’t been destroyed, and Lakeside County hasn’t been driven out, nor has communication been severed—these are the reasons it continues to serve a mysterious, vital role.Setting this matter aside, Memphis carefully gathered the documents and camera on the table, slinging his backpack over his shoulder before stepping out.Being a leader is truly grueling. It’s past 8 PM, and he still hasn’t eaten, showered, or removed the heavy equipment on his person. Worse still, another meeting awaits him, leaving little room for comfort.The only solace is that he’s earning plenty of contribution points, and those at the top always get a bigger share… Haha, today it’s instructions from the top, but in a while, it might even be assassins from Lakeside or tank shells fired from T90s—such fun.As he stepped out of the meeting room, Memphis spotted a group of people loading PG-2 HEAT shells and several anti-tank guns onto a military jeep. In addition, various equipment like baseb

The issues of food and storage were not simple either. Most of the fresh food they found had already gone bad, so they would soon have to rely solely on dry food and canned goods. It was essential to manage the food supplies well, not to release too much from storage while also not letting the residents starve—just enough to keep them half-full.Fresh food from the Grieving River wasn’t easy to come by either. Two people had gone missing while fishing, suspected to have been killed by mutated fish. Their main storage facility had also been attacked by a horde of rats led by a mutated level 11 rat, which destroyed over 200 pounds of food and injured two people. Lionel was currently building a fortified warehouse for storage.Mutated animals were starting to appear more frequently, with reports of mutated cats, dogs, goats, and pigs being spotted in the outskirts of towns. This would likely become a significant issue for them in the future.Today, they found a total of 57 survivors, mos
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 449:
After giving her instructions, Memphis slowly dragged himself to the clothes rack. Shaina, always obedient, stepped forward to help him remove his combat gear.Although he was used to having Bridget and Brigitte help him with such tasks, he still wasn’t entirely comfortable having others assist him with something as simple as changing clothes. After fumbling awkwardly for a while, he finally waved his hand and said, slightly embarrassed:"Alright, you can go rest now."Shaina, unsurprisingly, showed no signs of disappointment. She remained as somber as ever. After hanging up his post-apocalyptic jacket, she quietly responded with a soft "yes" before turning to prepare his bed.Memphis stepped into the bathroom, where the warm steam and soft moonlight enveloped him. After a day of fighting, now ten o’clock at night, his stamina was down to just 4 points. Finally, he had time to relax.After thirty minutes of soaking in warm water, his body was thoroughly content. Memphis wrapped a towe

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…”“

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.“
