After careful consideration, Winston could only sigh in helplessness. Thinking about the hundreds of thousands of zombies blocking the way, he had no means to deal with them.

Memphis waited for everyone to digest the news before he slowly spoke:

"The safe zone protected by the government is obviously our common goal. Myself included, everyone here shares this objective. But to achieve this goal, we must proceed step by step. Overcoming each obstacle ensures our survival."

Hearing Memphis's words, the group's urgency was half-dissolved.

Indeed, hastily leaving this place to search for the government’s safe zone would truly be a path to death.

After a moment of hesitation, Winston asked:

"Memphis, what are your plans?"

Memphis calmly replied:

"I want to strengthen the overall capabilities of our team first, accumulate food, modify vehicles, and stockpile fresh water. Only then can we have the capacity to explore the safe route to Harbor Line District. The main exploration route later wi

    Memphis chose one skill book, one item card, and two experience crystals.Jarred took two skill books and one item card.As for the remaining two books, Lionel took one and Amanda took one.These were the results of their solo hunt, unrelated to Kiley’s group, and Memphis had no intention of sharing.After all, haha, Memphis always prioritized those closer and more familiar to him!“Ding. Active skill of second level: Acceleration! Skill attribute: Increases agility by 12 points. Skill activation: Consumes 4 stamina points. Skill duration: 15 seconds. Can be activated continuously. Note: The power and duration depend on the skill level.”Honestly, Memphis quite liked this skill; increasing agility by 12 points was more than half his current agility stat. But with Wylie’s contributions, almost risking his life, he deserved it.After all, in Memphis’s hands, Acceleration might remain a basic skill forever as he didn’t have spare skill points to enhance it. But in Wylie’s hands, he would

    After thinking it through, Wylie firmly said:"I accept."Memphis smirked, tossing the skill book to Wylie, who scrambled to catch it, afraid it might fall and get damaged.With this skill, Wylie was like having a pair of jet boots that lasted for 15 seconds. The feeling of agility and freedom, it was finally back.Seeing Wylie grinning foolishly, Memphis's expression turned serious."Wylie. I don't have grand demands for loyalty. Most of the time, you can do what you want. But in critical decisions, I need you to absolutely comply, and in front of the team, you must fully support my views."Memphis laid out his demands clearly. For someone impulsive and young like Wylie, there was no need for subtlety; the clearer, the better.Wylie paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and said:"The way you talk, it's just like my old man. I used to hate these nagging words, but now, I wish I could hear more of them. Memphis, I'll listen to you."From his tone, Memphis knew he had secured a

    Thirty minutes later, the convenience store had been thoroughly cleaned out.Memphis sighed in relief. Fortunately, the power had only been out since noon, so there was still frost in the fridge; otherwise, the frozen food would have spoiled. He instructed Jarred and Lionel to carry a refrigerator to the truck, planning to transport it back to their base for storage.They had a generator. Though they couldn't run it 24/7, they could manage intermittent power.The convoy began to move back. Memphis remained highly alert, wary of another ambush like the last time. Just then, a cry for help echoed from ahead:

    Jarred gave a fierce smile, his hand turned into a mace, striking directly at the blood-stained white figure beneath him. But F1 was not dead yet, it tried to dodge the spiked mace by jumping backward to another corner.What greeted it was a long blue blade. Severely injured, F1 couldn't change direction mid-air, and with a thud, it got stabbed in the chest, hanging there, limbs struggling weakly."Bang!"Jarred seized the opportunity, clapped his hands, and burst F1's head open."Finally, it was dead."F1's body collapsed to the floor. Jarred immediately took two steps forward and kicked F1's small body, splitting it in half."This sly thing was indeed his nemesis. Last time it was the same, and this time it still is."Memphis and Jarred looked at each other, unable to hold back a bitter smile. Although they had become stronger, if they fought alone, they could still be killed by F1."Memphis was better off, with a skill to counterattack, he could fight back. Jarred, on the other han

    Lionel's original large three-story house was now a bit cramped. He decided to clear out the gym on the second floor, turning it into another bedroom, and cleared out the altar room on the third floor, making it a storage room, finally sorting everything out.Their operation this time was relatively smooth and quick, taking less than two hours. With plenty of daylight left, Memphis couldn't sit still. He led a group of combat-ready individuals straight towards the two-story supermarket.He didn’t intend to explore the supermarket but to secure the area, starting with clearing the zombies from the intersection.Returning to the site of their previous battle with the E2, seeing the charred ground and uneven holes, they all felt a bit of pride. Such a demonic creature had been slain by their planning and efforts.After a glance around, Memphis drew the Wind Sword, pointed towards the zombies, and shouted:“Advance!”This time, the team consisted of him, Jarred, Lionel, Amanda, Kiley, Zor

    Amanda pondered for a moment, then looked at Memphis, who was fighting fiercely among the zombies, and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly:"Young man, before the apocalypse, I thought you were a loser. But it seems I was wrong; you just didn't have the opportunity to show it."Memphis, while battling a level 9 zombie, suddenly sneezed.From the corner of his eye, he saw Wylie moving energetically again, and he mumbled to himself:"Not too dumb after all."Wylie must have been healed by Amanda, which meant he had given her the intelligence enhancement skill.Memphis knew that Amanda had recently become quite arrogant, with her superior attitude gradually returning. Without benefits, there was no way she would help.Wylie knew how to deal with people, giving resources to key individuals. It seemed Memphis's efforts weren't in vain.Memphis's words about the team existing to support each other weren't just empty talk. However, the extent to which team members would help depended on

    The four of them climbed into a Jeep, with Big at the wheel.As she drove, Big contemplated their situation. Today, latching onto Boss Jackman seemed to promise a less difficult future. Ha ha.To her, ten years meant little. Before the apocalypse, she had worked for twenty years without ever getting an advance on her salary.Memphis giving her an advance meant he was a good boss. Big wasn't foolish; the advance and the gift of acceleration boots clearly indicated he was building up his force.In no time, the four of them returned to their base. Inside the house, it was no longer as bright as usual, with only a few multi-functional lights powered by car batteries, connected by Zeth, illuminating key areas.Seeing Memphis return, the children finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were starving, but their parents had told them to wait until Memphis came back to eat, so they had no choice.Memphis entered with a smile and said:"Sorry, everyone. Next time, don’t wait for me.""No proble

    Gemma saw Memphis and Amanda standing at the door and hesitated for a moment, but she didn't seem too surprised. She gently stepped closer with a faint smile:"Memphis, I have something to discuss with you."Memphis swallowed hard, looking at her, thinking to himself that he had made a mistake. Gemma's figure was not inferior to Amanda's; in fact, she had a unique and incredibly special charm.If Amanda was a blooming rose that made people want to trample and torment, then Gemma was a budding rose that made men want to cherish and explore. Both were rare beauties that Memphis could never have touched before the apocalypse.He let out an awkward laugh and asked:"Oh, what is it?"Before Gemma could respond, Amanda coldly said:"Gemma, you seem a bit rude. Memphis and I have some private matters to discuss first. If you want to talk, wait until tomorrow morning."Gemma was not weak and replied:"Really? I had an appointment with Memphis beforehand."Memphis was stunned. An appointment?

    If Memphis were a vile person, and Hope Town was a cesspool of corruption, there would have been no need for Sarah to openly declare their connection. A quiet escape plan would have sufficed. Sarah’s immediate transparency indicated her unwillingness to conceal anything and her clear desire to align herself with Memphis.She wanted more than just a foothold in Hope Town. She sought influence and power, no longer content to remain merely a legal advisor. For this, she was willing to risk breaking the rules, even knowing the law better than anyone."A place with people will inevitably have conflicts. Violating principles like this may be wrong in theory, but it feels right emotionally."Memphis couldn’t stop others from harboring personal agendas, nor could he prev

    This allowed all his actions to seem justified, fitting within any narrative one could perceive. It made him entirely unreadable—his thoughts a mystery, his intentions obscure, and even his decisions, once made, felt inevitable.“Lawless.”Calling himself a bandit wasn’t a self-deprecating joke—it was the raw truth.Memphis glanced coldly at the two masterminds before letting his gaze drift to the clueless “big-bottomed lamb” standing there. A wave of irritation immediately washed over him.Big chests lacking brains had been proven time and time again. Who would have thought big bottoms shared the same fate? This woman didn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation at all. She displayed no hint of fear.When Rosa noticed Memphis looking at her instead of the document, and even claiming it was a forgery, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “How could it be fake? You haven’t even read it; how would you know if it’s real or not?"The corner of Memphis's mouth twitched uncontrollab

    Memphis was indeed frowning at the omission in the materials. Everything else was fine; nothing seemed worthy of criticism—so where was the residents' survey of preferences?Don’t say they forgot? What kind of operation is this?Just as he was about to ask, Rosa spoke first:“Memphis, I have something to tell you.”Instinctively curious, Memphis replied: “What is it?”Rosa’s inner smile grew. His propensity for "snooping" was too high—one vague sentence was enough to make him forget about scolding. She lowered her voice, adopting a pleading tone:“My grandfather wants to talk to you.”"Hm? Adolph? What could he want from me? Aren’t all proposals supposed to go through Sarah first?"Sarah, who Memphis had assigned from Hope Town to temporarily oversee operations, was responsible for compiling and preliminarily reviewing all proposals from Crimson Flame's residents.It struck him then: something was off. Why was this rookie delivering the message instead of Sarah?His brow furrowed slig

    5:30 PM on Day 24 Post-Apocalypse, outskirts of Crimson Flame Town.Eight hours into the rescue mission, the 4th Reserve Battalion, working in tandem with 24 Dagger members, successfully rescued 277 survivors from approximately 70% of the central town’s territory. This is an astounding number, highlighting the stark survival disparity.Crimson Flame Town's center had about 40,000 residents. To find 277 survivors by Day 24, with the potential for even more from the remaining areas, is remarkable. In contrast, Renaissance County and its surrounding zones, with a larger population, yielded only 158 survivors by Day 12—12 days earlier.Where Manipulation Types exist, human survival becomes extraordinarily tenuous.Memphis emerged from a small ice shard, his face etched with exhaustion. He and Wylie were the principal forces combing the southwestern region for survivors. Within a 4-kilometer radius of the maternity clinic, not a single soul remained unaccounted for, even the faintest signs

Stones that missed the lake shattered the courtyard, spraying bloodstained concrete and debris everywhere. The entire area turned into chaos, the once serene surroundings now a murky mess.Jarred’s unconventional attack style could easily rival bomb strikes."Hssaaahhh…"From the lake’s center, countless purple bubbles, each the size of a fist, burst forth, releasing toxic green gas. Bloodied slime mixed with frothy water splattered about, creating a grotesque spectacle. A furious, cold-blooded hiss pierced the air, and a mas

    The walls being constructed by Hope Township consist of three layers with a total thickness of 1 meter. The primary components include mud mixed with mutated vines and barbed wire, reinforced with large stones and a steel core. The outer layers are sheathed in metal sheets and reinforced with sturdy wooden braces, making them incredibly difficult to destroy. Additionally, after construction, the walls are further strengthened by Earth Manipulation practitioners, compacting the earth and stone tightly for added durability.This segment of the wall had collapsed, the crumbled dirt resembling cold porridge, with steel rods scattered as far as 20 meters away. Some metal sheets and barbed wire were also punctured, showcasing the sheer brute force of the snake responsible for the destruction.Jarred examined two nearby sedans, both twisted

    Jarred blinked twice, then responded: “I’m quite interested, but I don’t have any magic crystals on me right now."Anthony waved dismissively: “No rush, no rush.

Jarred narrowed his eyes slightly, then snapped his fingers. A second figure, an exact reflection of himself, formed out of moonlight.Once the Reflection summoned by the Simulation Ring materialized: “it" donned clothing and took a few documents from Jarred.

    Seven seconds later, Jarred landed on the eastern bank of Grieving River.Three jeeps from Lakeside's government awaited them, accompanied by over a dozen officials and soldiers. Witnessing Jarred’s effortless flight, they couldn’t help but swallow nervously.Lakeside had someone capable of flight as well—Verne Riddle. But this Lawton fellow was far too skilled and smooth, not even producing the slightest sound of rushing wind.Jarred landed in front of the three jeeps and released Sherwin and his companions. Scanning the group of ten people before him, he nodded and said: “The handover is complete. You may leave now."The staff immediately stepped forward to inspect the three Phó memb

    "The first approach is ideological harmony. Hope Township abandons its pursuit of self-reliance and agrees to follow the state’s centralized policies. Alternatively, Lakeside County could cease its ambition to connect with Harbor Line District and instead ally with Hope Township to rebel. In either case, the conflict would dissolve on its own. Of course, this approach is too far-fetched to even consider.""The second approach is ideological suppression. Hope Township and Lakeside County resolve to fight to the death. The losing side would vanish, taking its ideology to the afterlife. The winning side seizes all resources and celebrates victory, gaining more fuel to sustain the engine of peace. This destructive option has already occurred. While its consequences have not been catastrophic yet, there is a significant risk of it reoccurring if the third approach cannot succeed."
