At 9 AM on the 17th day after the apocalypse, on the battlefield of Sunny Hills, a full 120 minutes of fierce combat had passed, and both sides finally ceased fire, retreating to rest and regroup.

Standing on top of an armored vehicle, looking towards the distant hill, Memphis’s gaze was calm and unwavering.

He had blindly stumbled his way to victory in battles against two Devouring Types. The battle at Pinecrest Supermarket against a level 25 P2 had almost killed him, teaching him a harsh lesson. He had won at the battlefield of Three Avenues, but at a great cost—suffering significant injuries and heavy losses in manpower.

In this battle, however, he still had half of his potential points left, not a single drop of his blood had been spilled, and fewer than 30 of his team members had perished.

"It’s really been exhausting..."

The failure of the Manipulation Type M2 at level 27 had taught him many things. Never wait passively in any situation, and never consider anything irreplaceable

    The truck rolling down the road had its energy concentrated most densely around its four wheels and engine, with the front of the vehicle—the part that would make contact in a collision—glowing brightest. Piled on top of the truck bed were bundles of B40 nets, tightly woven with urine-soaked rags, which emitted their distinct radiance.A bullet soaring through the air left a brilliant red streak connecting the gun’s barrel to its distant target.The six-sided fortifications ahead exuded a still, pale white aura, with hardly any movement or fluctuation.The wind brushing through the trees carried a faint light blue hue, breaking into countless

    At this moment, Jarred was enjoying the company of two beautiful, delicate women, none other than Angela Mole and Belinda Palmer. Memphis glanced at the two, who put on an innocent and pure front, but he couldn’t reconcile that image with the two people who had been spying on live XXX action the previous night."Maybe these two and those from last night have different energy frequencies, because there's no way such perversion and meekness could coexist like this.” he thought to himself, puzzled. Memphis casually returned the greetings from the two young women before turning to Jarred."Did you meet the target for your system mission?" he asked.Jarred, munching on a fish sandwich, grinned widely and nodded, clearly pleased with himself."Yes, big brother, this mission was way too easy."Jarred’s next beginner mission was called "Facing Difficulty.” which required him to personally take down ten zombies ten levels higher than his own, from five different zombie types, while also killin

    Three days ago, it initiated combat with an attack range of up to four kilometers, then gradually decreased to 3.5 kilometers, then three kilometers. Now, it can't even reach three kilometers. Additionally, the power of its special Soul Suppression attack has also been weakening. Initially, it could shatter all Light Armor at once, but now it can only partially break it, and currently, it can’t even break third-tier Light Armor from a distance of 750 meters.Clearly, its increasingly mournful and furious cries are filled with rage and hatred, yet the power is growing weaker.Both anomalies of these Manipulation Type zombies share a common pattern: the longer the battle, the weaker they become. This weakening isn’t due to time or injuries but rather correlates with the number of zombies on the battlefield.The larger the horde of zombies, the more powerful the Manipulation Type becomes, and vice versa—the fewer zombies, the more vulnerable the giant-headed creature appears."The streng

    Moreover, if his forces were only tasked with body collection, it would be a huge waste of the effort he had put into training them. He alone could control the nine undead under his command to handle that task. The real issue was preparing his troops for future conflicts, which, though dangerous, was a necessary risk.With a plan forming in his mind, Memphis turned to Jarred and squinted."Deputy Commander Lawton, what do you think?"In this meeting, Jarred didn’t adopt his usual casual attitude. Catching Memphis’s gaze, he carefully considered before slowly sharing his opinion."In my view, we should directly attack the enemy’s headquarters and provoke them into sending out their forces. That way, we can face their zombies head-on. We’re low on artillery, so we need to save it for emergencies."Brady’s ears perked up at this. How low was “low.” exactly?The PG-9V and OG-15V 73mm shells used by Hope Town on their BMP-1 armored vehicles were compatible with the recoilless SPG-9 guns at

    Memphis clenched his fists as he observed this scene, knowing that the task of clearing the battlefield in the future would be infinitely more arduous.Humans couldn’t eat zombie flesh. Ingesting even a fragment as small as half a grain of rice could cause days of diarrhea. If someone accidentally consumed a drop of black zombie blood, they would undoubtedly turn into a zombie. Yet the maggots, rats, and cockroaches were devouring everything without dying. What would they mutate into in the future? No one knew.As the vehicle slowly approached the hill, Memphis pulled out a level 4 equipment card from his coat.Shield-2, level 25, had left behind a vast fortune when it died. Aside from the fourth-tier skill Counterturn, it also left behind this equipment card, which came with five highly tempting options."Level 4 Protective Coat."This had appeared before and could easily block several Soul Suppression attacks, especially when the number of zombies still numbered in the tens of thous

    A gravitational wave of 10G instantly engulfed the area, pressing down on everything. Even the flow of blood and sweat accelerated as they hit the ground. Everyone within a 30-meter radius had to strain to resist the force. Some collapsed unconscious, and even the guns pointed at the enemy dipped toward the earth, making it nearly impossible to lift and shoot.A fully-powered P2 level 28 could wipe out an entire battalion lacking heavy artillery.Fortunately, the soldiers at Hope Town had been frequently trained in a special facility centered around the P2 level 25’s power, giving them a certain level of resistance. They all took a deep breath and braced themselves. Jarred and Memphis simultaneously raised their hands and shouted:"Break!"Their third-tier Gravity Manipulation skills unleashed waves of counter-pressure.The 10G amplification from the Strength Type was neutralized, allowing the humans to regain some of their mobility. Memphis quickly shouted:"Osiris, stop that bomb!"

    This was a zombie that was powerful in every aspect, with no enemy capable of challenging it, whether in close or long-range combat. Just this single P2 level 28 was enough to hold off over 100 Superhumans. No matter how the 300 fighters attacked, if this monster managed to break through, it would result in a real massacre.Of course, for all its omnipotence, it wasn’t without weaknesses.Fighting something so powerful was both difficult and simple. The key was to find something with a stronger energy frequency than it had—anti-tank rounds.The Strength Type might be formidable, but the energy frequency of anti-tank rounds surpassed this beast.

    Outside the battlefield, Memphis was fully focused on controlling his eight ice puppets to slaughter zombies and attract their firepower when he suddenly frowned. Why were the zombies gathering in greater numbers, becoming more frenzied with each passing moment?Although he had no clue what was happening on the other side, the intensity of the monsters' attacks kept increasing, putting more pressure on humanity. Memphis was forced to order the firing of demon-slaying artillery shells along with regular artillery to "scare" M2 into retreating for defense, continuing the revolving battles with their tactical maneuvers.But that pig dared not to retreat. Instead, it sent more Level 9 regular zombies to intensify the attack on humans, which made Memphis feel even more anxious and confused. He had no choice but to order the launch of three PG-9V shells simultaneously, hoping to frighten M2 back into the expected course.After the three shells exploded and the extreme shockwaves and pressur

    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

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    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.“
