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,
The only chance he had would be to weaken it through multiple strikes, slowly wiping away the concentric circles on its body. Thus, using the creature’s own energy to destroy it was the most effective method.Using "the enemy’s energy" to kill the enemy would always be more efficient than using "external energy."Because the power of the Soul Suppression attack was drawn from the enemy forces themselves, it shared an inherent connection with them, causing less disruption and sensitivity. Thus, the two commands Memphis had issued earlier would be executed precisely."Who would suspect that their own attack dog would suddenly turn around and bite the
Company Diamond Valley."You fool, you worthless scum, don't you know how to act like a decent human being?"Memphis Jackman stood in front of the director's desk, his head bowed, eyes fixed on his shoes, silently enduring the stream of vulgar curses. If it weren't for the 3000 USD monthly salary, he would have long since stormed up and kicked that idiotic fat man.His director, Lionel Hester, was a hybrid between a hippopotamus and a wild boar. Clearly, Diamond Valley was a scam company, yet he demanded that Memphis Jackman do upright and legitimate work.Like a brothel forcing its prostitutes to build a temple for chastity.Of course, Memphis could do it, but the righteous tasks he performed were just to cover up for the other idiots in the company, allowing them to reap the benefits.If those idiots were also only getting 3000 USD like Memphis, he wouldn't have cared. But they were getting 10,000 USD. Wasn't this a blatant exploitation of him? Clearly, their skills were equal, so w
At that moment, the sky outside the window suddenly darkened, and a storm, along with thunder, erupted, causing the windows to shake. Memphis was first stunned, then, feeling a premonition, looked up at the sky.There, a gigantic skull had appeared from nowhere. The skull, surrounded by swirling black clouds and lightning, seemed to stretch from a distant void, taking up half the sky.Memphis's face froze in terror. What... what the hell was that?Before he could think further, the skull opened its enormous mouth and spoke in a booming voice that seemed to pierce through his eardrums:"Lowly ants, your days of leisure are over. From today, I will make you taste my wrath. Get ready to face my fury, join my game, and make me pleased, ha ha ha ha..."As soon as the skull finished speaking, countless beams of light shot out from its eye sockets, entering the atmosphere from different angles. Memphis's eyes widened as he watched one beam head straight for him, hitting the top of his head w
Click!He locked the main door.No matter what, in an unclear situation outside, preventing other creatures from entering was the first action to take.After locking the door, he hurriedly ran back inside. Passing by the water cooler, he conveniently smashed the lock on the first aid box above with the bat, reaching in to grab all the medicine inside."Kheeze... Help me... Kheeze..."When he returned to Jonny's side, his poor colleague was already delirious, his eyes cloudy, his skin dark and bruised, thick, dark red mucus dripping from the corners of his mouth.Memphis clenched his hand tightly, his eyes reddening.In less than 30 seconds from being bitten, Jonny had nearly lost consciousness, perhaps only standing through sheer will to survive despite his body's transformation."Jonny, Jonny, you have to stay awake, your dad is waiting! Uncle Gaspar is waiting for you at home!"Jonny seemed to hear Memphis's voice, hearing the name Gaspar Byrne, his father, a miserable widower. He s
Sure enough, after adding potential points, the highest limit of the attributes increased. It seems he needs to train to bring his stats to the highest level.Also, how does he use the skill points, and what about the newly appeared Bright? 5 Bright should equal 5 zombie corpses, right?Well, let's see how it goes. He just killed 5 zombies and gained 5 exp, enough to level up. So, each zombie gives 1 exp, meaning to reach level 3, he needs to kill 20 zombies..."Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving the initial phase and leveling up.""The system offers rewards. Please choose one of the following: First, instantly increase the current level by one, the reward cannot be saved for later use. Second, receive a random skill book ranging from tier one to tier three. Third, receive a random piece of equipment ranging from tier one to tier three."As Memphis was deep in thought, the mechanical voice startled him with a mix of surprise and joy, along with significant in
Feeling a bit sentimental, Memphis pulled out his backpack and stuffed all the found items inside. After some thought, he searched through 5 of his colleagues' wallets, hoping to have something to hand over if he met their families.He also took Hughie's coat, a long and thick one, perfect for protection.Using Miley Cramer's skirt to wrap his hand and Jonny Byrne's remaining cap, Memphis finally covered himself completely.He looked around the office one last time, seeing the rotting corpses of his comrades, quietly mumbling:"Sorry... I will avenge you all..."He turned towards the door, a determined plan forming in his mind.But first, he had to escape this building.Memphis's office was located at the end of the hallway on the third floor of the building. To reach the staircase on the other side, he had to pass by the secretary's office, the director's office, the second office, and then the separate security room along the hallway, before finally reaching the emergency exit stair
