Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 461:
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

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

Not to mention, these soldiers were helping him in the fight against the zombies. They had never posed any threat to him—in fact, they were fighting valiantly, tirelessly, putting their lives on the line to protect his 300 men.This was assistance, not hostility. There was no enmity between him and these soldiers.Even the wrongdoers from Sunny Hills didn’t deserve death. Yes, they had made mistakes, but who in this world hadn’t? He hadn’t asked if they regretted their actions, but if he were in their place, he—this man of 99% cruelty—would undoubtedly feel remorse, would be tortured by guilt, would want to atone.Surely others felt the same, seeking forgiveness.If he had committed a crime, surely he would want someone to show him mercy, not be silently killed on the battlefield, without even a final word, dying in a haze of confusion and dishonor."Papa, when you go to Renaissance, bring me back something special from there. And make sure you come home safe...""I will, my sweet gir

Memphis remained silent for two seconds before forcing a wry smile:“Of course, I’m here to treat them. They’ve been attacked by a Manipulation Type, and their situation is critical. How could I just ignore them?”“Actually, I’m the very Manipulation Type that attacked your comrades.” Memphis thought casually to himself since Wallflower wasn’t around. Pointing to the most severely injured soldier, he said:“Sasha, Warren, help this soldier.”“Yes, sir!”
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 467:
5 PM, at the border between Lakeside and Sunset Avenue, Vienna battlefield.This place currently gathered 70% of the military forces from the Lakeside survivor base. Even the armored ship dedicated to protecting Starla had been recalled from Renaissance to launch an attack on the horde of zombies here.In a low-ranking combat squad, Zoran, in his professional military uniform, swung his hand. Five fiery blades shot out swiftly, slicing through the air, decapitating over 20 low-level zombies before converging to burn a Strength-Type P1 level 15 mutant.Beside Zoran stood Dante, the son of the deputy police chief of Renaissance. He also raised his hand, releasing five wind blades that struck the P1 level 15 mutant. The wind fueled the fire, intensifying its power. Additionally, the wind blades themselves inflicted significant damage. Together, they successfully brought down the P1 mutant.Both Zoran and Dante only expended a few points of mental energy, making the battle far from overly
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 468:
The troops felt as though a midnight alarm had roused them from a deep slumber. Startled awake, they quickly grabbed their gear and began retreating."Retreat, retreat! Pull back now!""Deploy grey fog, block their advance!""Request heavy fire support!""Secure the left flank! A Speed Type is incoming!""Lieutenant! We need to retreat immediately—there’s a second Manipulation Type among the enemy!"Such was the chaos unfolding on the battlefield. The human forces, relying on armored equipment and supernatural items, managed to retreat, though the cost was steep: nearly 30 comrades lay scattered among small units, lost forever."So, even using Light Armor couldn’t shield us from that kind of pain. Before, that bandit stood by, protecting me without ever showing impatience..."...6 PM, Hope Town.Richard listened gravely to the news coming from the other side of the Grieving River through the radio. The Vienna assault had failed—again. It was incomprehensible.Their four battalions ha

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.“
