Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 494:
"Elder brother, I doubt this cursed type of Manipulate zombie will ever drop anything decent for me…" Jarred complained loudly, feigning disappointment, yet his hands were already snatching up two designated level-3 item cards and stuffing them into his pocket.Ignoring Jarred’s antics, Memphis knew the primary mission reward was the biggest prize of all. He quickly learned "Dominance Aura" and packed the remaining loot into his bag, then gestured at the thousands of dazed zombies below, giving Jarred a casual command:"There’s still a herd of Defense Types. Your mission is to bring back some three-tier 'Light Armor' skills, and preferably a four-tier 'Counterturn' or 'Shield-2' skill from that level-28 beast down there.""Got it! Watch me!"Jarred leapt downhill, charging toward the seven porky figures loitering below. His energy was nearly boundless, as long as over 20 teammates maintained breath recovery; he could fight until midnight if needed.Meanwhile, Memphis pulled out his ra

Better to bring it home and throw it into that dog’s den—let the dumb dog guard it. Give it some rocks, maybe throw in a mutant chicken to eat the gravel, and you’d have the perfect feng shui for a major faction.After Jarred loaded the jade block into a large container inside the refrigerated truck, a few ice servants were summoned. They picked up shovels that had been prepared and began scooping up all the soil that had absorbed the milky liquid into the truck, even digging up three inches of earth beneath it.Not a trace could be left behind. Memphis didn’t want any lingering aura or energy attracting some weird creature that might sniff its way back to their base.Jarred pulled out three bags of lime powder and a bag of fragrant soap, scattering them around the cave. Memphis then lined up gas cans around the perimeter, carefully setting up 10 pounds of black powder and some car tires to ensure a thorough burn.Once the truck was sealed, and the refrigerated truck had backed out, a

Richard couldn’t turn down this opportunity. He had to subtly stall communication with the other side, ensuring the artillery would reach Lakeside by noon.Of course, Memphis’s choice of bribe was based on insider intelligence. He offered Richard items that he wouldn’t be able to resist, forcing him to swallow them, sinking deeper into his grasp.At that moment, the frontline team finally returned. Over a dozen modified trucks parked in front of the training ground, with more than 300 team members assembling neatly. Their faces showed expressions of intense pride and satisfaction. They were the survivors, the victors, with a bright future ahead.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 497:
While Brady gulped, Richard beside him widened his eyes in shock. Memphis was publicly offering resources here, in front of everyone. He quickly turned to Memphis and, in a firm tone, said:"Commander Jackman, I ask you to retract these resources. We operate by our own principles and cannot accept any items."His late-night dealings and others "receiving gifts" openly were entirely different matters. If anyone on a mission could openly accept bribes, Lakeside Base would be in chaos within three days.If Brady accepted this batch of skills, then the government base would be no better than a den of thieves, possibly even worse, with soldiers deployed outward becoming extortionists and even forcing other bases. And it was happening right in front of him; he couldn’t allow this to happen.Memphis’s lips curved slightly as he turned to look at a young woman, about 27, in the room and slowly said:"Maggie is the newly appointed squad leader, just yesterday. Lieutenant Tan, please state the
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 498:
In these two days of fighting at Hope Town, the first time Memphis sent a gift, Brady had refused, his righteous, soldierly integrity feeling almost repulsed by Memphis’s approach.He’d pegged Memphis as an unscrupulous bandit who would turn to underhanded tactics when bribery failed. But Memphis hadn’t done that. Not only did he drop the shady dealings, but he treated them as well as ever—providing fresh food, spacious, airy sleeping quarters with hot water, fans, and even snacks. There were comforts unheard of back in Lakeside.On the battlefield, Memphis deployed nine Superhumans to guard one of their machine gunners, assisting them promptly and impartially. As a leader, Memphis personally motivated his soldiers, strategizing for success, leading by example, and winning every skirmish with precise, effective plans.As a soldier, Brady had to admit Memphis was an exemplary leader. Just seeing the admiration and trust in the eyes of the sixteen squad leaders here confirmed it.Now, w
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 499:
Agreeing to play this waiting game meant accepting the slow sparring. The war had just ended, and he needed time to digest the spoils before building enough momentum to face Lakeside Base directly. For now, he had to begin subtly showing his claws and stance.With that matter settled, Memphis no longer bothered to make things difficult for Richard. He stood up and casually said:“I need to coordinate with Deputy Captain Lawton briefly, and then you can all depart immediately.”Memphis and Jarred then entered the small meeting room adjacent to the main hall, where they exchanged notes on their tasks. These included verifying intelligence about Lakeside Base’s higher-ups, locations with critical Attack Type assets, areas under heavy guard, supply storage zones, frontline combat status, and conditions of lower-tier residents in the rear...Finally, Memphis waved his hand, using a skill, while Jarred utilized the Simulation Ring’s power to replicate it.All day, Memphis had refrained from
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 500:
Most of the other squad leaders didn’t understand, focused instead on their own squad’s casualties, each with a solemn expression.Memphis tapped his fingers on the table, speaking slowly: “Continue to coordinate with Dr. Beirne on refining the use of combined pre- and post-apocalyptic abilities in emergency care. I’ll provide two additional large ambulances and ten personnel. Expedite the training of more field medics. Resources are unlimited.”Relieved, Maggie bowed in acknowledgment of the order.The second issue was the zombie kill ratio via supernatural abilities. Out of the 60,000 zombies, humans personally killed only about 20,000; the rest fell to gunfire. This led to the consumption of 100,000 7.62mm rounds, with Irma’s, Osiris’s, and Nicky’s squads being the heaviest users.Naturally, Memphis ordered increased target practice for these squads, while reducing their AK-47s by half, replacing them with SKS rifles. This would cut their firing rate by 20 times, keeping ammunition
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 501:
A highly sought-after Tier 1 skill is the Seed Planting skill. At the initial levels, it’s not particularly useful, consuming a lot of energy without delivering much impact. However, after being enhanced to +3 or +4, it can root itself and act autonomously without draining stamina. If lucky, one seed could eliminate a dozen zombies that get too close before withering away.Tier 2 skills are generally only available to elite members with accumulated battle experience or those who’ve borrowed or scrambled funds to acquire them. As always, ranged attack skills are popular, but the Tier 2 Light Armor remains the most coveted.This supernatural ability is purely defensive, yet its vital role makes it highly desirable among Superhumans. Under Light Ar

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
Chapter 759:
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.“
