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. It
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
The Manipulation Type was both enraged and terrified by the three intruders attempting to breach its defenses. One was strong enough to tear through the horde of lower-level zombies, another was fast enough to dodge everything and rush forward, and the last could vanish and reappear at will. It wanted to eliminate all three, but they were too far apart, and its Soul Suppression attack couldn’t cover them all at once. So, it decided to target the weakest one first.As Wylie advanced, the level 3 Soul Guard ring on his hand lit up. He realized he had been targeted and immediately activated the first layer of his level 3 Substitute ring. A figure identical to Wylie appeared but was instantly crushed, allowing Wylie to use his speed—one of the fastest in Hope Town—to escape far from his previous position. He then created a second substitute and continued his retreat.“Oeeeee…”Having failed against the slippery first target, the Manipulation Type shifted its focus to the brute with immens
Black blood trickled down from above, forming small streams, and within those streams were severed limbs, sticky brain matter, decaying eyeballs, and pieces of torn flesh and dismembered organs. A few birds, whose species couldn't be identified, circled above or perched at a distance, watching as if waiting for the end of the ordeal, ready to swoop down and feast on the lavish banquet.When war erupts, many stand to benefit, even those who have no part in it—those who don’t fight or exert any effort, simply standing by patiently, waiting...At the entrance of the cave, nine Defense Type zombies, led by an S2 Level 28, stood guard. Nearby, the body of an S2 Level 26 zombie lay smashed to bits—these were the last of the zombies remaining on this hill. The anti-tank rounds were truly devastating, but these monsters were even more terrifying. A total of 12 rounds, including PG-9V, OG-15V, and over 30 PG-2 HEAT shells, had been fired here. Six of those shells had the demon-slaying feature,
