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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 52: Two The Little.
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 53: Second Attempt At Direct Persuasion!
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 54: Resource Competition.
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?
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 55: A Veteran Competing With A Newcomer
He looked at Amanda, then at Gemma, and calmly said:"The skill book is currently with me. I've already made a decision. After breakfast tomorrow, I will give everyone a fair explanation!"Amanda and Gemma both stared at Memphis intently, trying to ascertain if he would be fair.Memphis continued calmly:"I don't only have one physical enhancement skill book!"He was being honest. Jarred had one, which he had planned for his two girlfriends to use, but Memphis had compensated him to acquire it.Hearing this, Amanda and Gemma calmed down. With two books available, they wouldn't be at a loss no matter how the situation was resolved.But the argument had escalated to the point where simply "dividing evenly" wouldn't solve it. There needed to be a clear right and wrong, a winner and loser. Gemma stubbornly said:"I want the skill book that dropped from that level 8 zombie."She had put a lot of effort into that zombie and didn't want to give it up.Amanda also wanted to compete but, after

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

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.“
