Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 457:
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.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 458:
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 459:
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 460:
Having endured the discomfort from the "Shared Calamity" effect all day yesterday, they now had two solutions to this challenging problem. One was to replicate the effect, turning it against the zombies, and the other was to exploit its weakness, using it to push the entire zombie horde from cooperation into chaos.When regular damage is shared, the zombie horde remains solid, with the stronger ones bearing the burden for the weaker. But when the restraining force is shared, both the strong and weak try to avoid it, causing chaos within the horde.This was warfare: playing the cards one by one and solving each problem as it arose.After the two rounds of demon-slaying shells, the BMP-1 armored vehicle ceased fire and slowly advanced, along with other armored vehicles, crushing zombies to clear the path for infantry to engage the horde more easily. The central command hill did not send out elite zombies to counter this advance; instead, more zombies gathered at the cave entrance to pre

He stood up and gave a deep bow. Memphis didn’t stop him, letting him finish the gesture before casually waving a hand: "I want you to be loyal to all the citizens of Hope Town. Use this power to protect them; there’s no need to swear loyalty to me personally. As for the resources, they are rewards for everyone's efforts. It's the fairness of rule one in our code of conduct." Hearing this, Lazarus felt even more moved. Who said Memphis was a tyrant? Whoever dared to say so, he'd shoot them on the spot. Watching Lazarus leave, Memphis turned to the remaining person in the room. He tossed a skill book and a talisman onto the table and said: "These are for you." Jarred, who had been studying the terrain nearby, casually flipped through the items. His face instantly froze in astonishment. "A... a tier-four skill!" Ding! Tier-four active skill: All Miss. Skill attribute: Causes all incoming physical attac
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 462:
But if Lazarus succeeded in “buying” anyone, it would indicate that he still harbored loyalty to the government, signaling danger to the Lakeside group. It would mean he was pretending to defect to become a mole.If Lazarus Stein managed to persuade any of them to betray their side, Memphis would immediately charge him with treason and execute him quietly, without interrogation.Using people required suspicion, always doubting and never trusting completely. Otherwise, death could come unexpectedly, and one might not even know when or how it happened.If Lazarus hid his true intentions deeply, choosing not to expose himself even when his comrades were in danger, or if Murphy was cunning enough to sacrifice a few soldiers to secure Lazarus’s position as a spy, then Memphis currently had no response. He lacked Wallflower’s Insight to see through their inner thoughts.Nevertheless, to be extra cautious, the information he gave Lazarus was only semi-confidential. It was good if it stayed h

The wire screens were also draped with torn clothing soaked in human urine, emitting an overpowering stench that could be smelled from a dozen meters away.The gap from the ground to the bottom of the mesh was 1.8 meters, allowing zombies to crawl under, while the five-meter height of the wire and the triple layers ensured that nothing could "fly over" the barrier.With ten trucks lined up, they had essentially created a "net" with three layers of steel mesh in front of them.This was Memphis's solution to the long-range attacks of the Explosion Type monsters.The ten vehicles moved smoothly to the front line, stopping two kilometers from the hill. The zombie horde had been significantly reduced, with only around 30,000 left. In the open terrain, the horde appeared disorganized and scattered.The humans, standing behind the trucks, had full visibility of the distant zombies through the wide gaps in the wire mesh. The space between the ground and the bottom of the mesh was also enough
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 464:
At that moment, a massive explosive shell launched from over a kilometer behind the front line. As it touched the first mesh wire barrier, it detonated with a thunderous roar upon encountering "human energy.” creating a massive blast that punched a hole through the wire. Following this initial explosion, three more smaller shells emerged from the smoke, hitting the second wire barrier and ripping another small opening.In one strike, the human defense net was nearly breached.Three more explosive shells followed in quick succession, hitting the defensive line and creating four large gaps in the 100-meter-long mesh wire barrier, leaving only the third layer intact.If this continued and all the mesh barriers were breached, humans would once again face bombardment from above. Memphis wasn't about to let that happen; he quickly contacted the combat information center:"Have you found them yet?"The combat information center was manned by two of the four soldiers who had defected to Memph

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
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.“
