The mission last night was simply reconnaissance to see how much pressure Lakeside was under. Memphis hadn’t expected them to be attacked from so many directions. Based on the dog’s description and a rough map of SilverLining Solutions province, he deduced that an enormous zombie horde was advancing toward the base from the direction of Vienna Town.Vienna Town was one of the connecting towns between Lakeside County and Sunset Avenue County, the only land border for this county. Many human forces were being concentrated there to hold off the zombie horde."Has Sunset Avenue completely fallen? Why is there such a terrifying horde..."Within Lakeside County, the humans had wiped out most large zombie hordes, leaving only a small horde near Lakeside Bridge and a ter
Sitting in the jeep, Memphis took a few more sniffs to confirm the state of his nose. Starla truly had a captivating scent, and after inhaling it, he couldn't help but feel a faint, stiff sensation rise within him, as if he had just smelled a "fresh flower".He didn't dare send someone to follow her. This woman certainly had an exceptionally high sense of caution, and sending amateurs to trail her would only botch the job. So, the best course of action was for him to personally use his Super Olfaction ability to memorize her scent. If she attempted to sneak into any sensitive areas, there would be no way for her to hide.The second-tier skill Super Olfaction was a reconnaissance ability that Memphis had acquired by killing a level 14 mutated dog. Once activated, the skill allowed him to lock onto and remember the scent of a specific target. As long as the enemy wasn’t too alert, he could track them by their scent up to a distance of 10 kilometers.“Having such a sensitive nose isn’t a
After a moment of silence, Commander Sears replied: “It's too dangerous. I don’t want to participate anymore."Memphis wasn't too surprised by her words. He simply replied calmly: “I'll be responsible for ensuring the team's safety, alongside you. My defensive capabilities are at least equal to yours, perhaps even double. Don't worry."Hearing Memphis's confident affirmation, Starla fell silent for a moment. Twice her strength, meaning he could single-handedly block the attacks of a Manipulation Type? Was he joking?But since he was so confident, she decided not to argue further. If he couldn't do what he said, she would prioritize escaping herself. As for the strike team, they were his people, so she felt no heavy burden on her conscience.After reaching an understanding, Memphis began outlining the plan:"I'll take on the enemy's entire firepower for the first 30 seconds after the operation begins and withstand at least three rounds of mental attacks from the Manipulation Type. Your
The anti-tank rounds flew erratically, some landing within 10 meters of the cave entrance, bouncing back a few meters before exploding with deafening booms. Others veered off by over twenty meters, smashing into Strength Type zombies, breaking them into pieces. Several rounds detonated upon hitting the Light Armor, and the combined shockwaves shredded the tattered skins of Speed Types. Some rounds struck the cave entrance itself, triggering explosions that sent shockwaves rippling through the surrounding area.The entire hill was engulfed in flames and the shattered remains of zombies. The sudden, powerful strike caused immense damage to the zombie horde, with critical losses inflicted on the more important units. The slow reaction of the zombies affected by the Suppression Seals meant they could hardly mitigate the damage, leading to catastrophic losses.At the cave entrance, deep cracks stretched for several meters across the hillside, with debris tumbling down like rain. Thick smok
Memphis sneered coldly, switching positions with an ice minion 200 meters away, successfully dodging the lethal attack from the twin demons that resembled spirits. No, they were indeed demons. Just as he prepared for the next attack, a sorrowful wail echoed once again."Oeeeee…"A torrent of mental attacks surged like a waterfall from within the cave, rushing madly toward the spot where Memphis had reappeared. The Heart Dispersing Ring, level 3—loot obtained from Cormac—glowed brightly, forming a milky white armor that covered his entire body. However, the armor only lasted for a little over a second before cracking and shattering, revealing Memphis curled up inside, his body glowing a bright gold.Third-tier skill: Using Stillness to Overcome Motion.In this state of stillness, Memphis could not move or attack, but in return, he was immune to all damage and accumulated incoming energy for a counterattack. At the moment, he felt a massive surge of energy pouring into his body, while c
The Soul Suppression strike from M2, level 27, was neutralized and dispersed by the strange blood-red energy, with nearly 90% of its power redirected 'outside.' Memphis bore only a fraction of the blow, and 'outside' in this case meant every living being within 46 meters of him.They all shared the calamity together.More than 90% of the Soul Suppression energy unleashed by the Manipulation Type was transferred to the zombies below. These creatures, already reeling from 30 PG-2 HEAT anti-tank rounds, 12 grenades, and an explosive 80%-power ice attack from Memphis, had been thrown into disarray. With the M2 losing temporary control over the horde, the chaos became palpable. When the 90% Soul Suppression hit, no zombie could withstand it.
When the double was destroyed, it also restored 3 stamina points. Three consecutive uses meant a total of 9 stamina restored—comparable to a first-level Healing skill maxed out. It cost nothing, making it incredibly valuable in critical situations.It was a powerful life-saving move. With it, Memphis could "duplicate" himself in front of zombies, using Ice Phantom to escape without fear of being accurately tracked or struck down.Of course, this was just a level 3 equipment skill, and he wouldn’t be foolish enough to use it to infiltrate deep into enemy territory to capture the M2 level 27. If he got too close to high-level zombies above level 25, they would surely detect the difference.All he aimed for was to blend into the lower-level zombie horde and escape.The moment Memphis vanished, several gray explosive projectiles struck the double, shattering it. By the time they recovered from the disorientation caused by the Soul Suppression of their leader, the intruder had already disa
Ten minutes after Starla’s departure, Memphis issued a command through his communications officer using the radio to Jarred: "Initiate Assault Plan Number 2."Assault Plan Number 1 had focused on breaking a hole in the zombies’ toughest defenses and dealing significant damage to their brain. That had been accomplished. Assault Plan Number 2 was aimed at utterly crushing the remaining 90% of their defenses, keeping the situation in hand for a decisive victory at any moment.Hearing Memphis’s command, Jarred began directing the troops from the rear. The previously "lost" BMP-1 vehicle quickly moved to the front lines. Despite the bewildered and confused stares from the Lakeside soldiers, Lazarus took charge, adjusting the sights and loading a special OG-15V round into the cannon.This shell was especially devastating against zombies, particularly those like the level 28 Defense Type zombie with the “Shared Suffering” ability. The OG-15V shell was designed to cause maximum damage.The de
