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
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
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
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?
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
Thinking about it, Amanda really wanted to slap herself. She had understood Memphis's determination to refuse temptation. If he had dared to have an ambiguous relationship with her, his words now would be worthless.Completely unfair.Was she trying to tarnish Memphis's reputation? She must really want to die.Memphis listened to Amanda's words but didn't respond to her. Instead, he calmly looked at Zoran:"Zoran, I saved you from the clutches of zombies, gave you resources and strength, and personally explained all the team rules to you. When you met Winston, Esme, and Gemma, what did you promise me?"Cold sweat immediately broke out on Zoran's forehead. Among all the new members, he had the deepest sense of Memphis's terror.A man who single-handedly killed an evolved level 18 zombie, with that brilliant golden light and terrifying explosion, had left an indelible mark in his dreams. Now, the faint pressure emanating from Memphis almost made Zoran collapse. He stammered in reply:"I
After everything was unanimously agreed upon, Memphis looked towards Lionel and said:"You pick out two people to handle the statistics. The number of zombies each person kills, the resources acquired as a result, contributions to finding resources, and finding survivors… Everything will count towards contributions."Lionel could only smile wryly and accept the order.Seeing everything settled, Memphis breathed a sigh of relief. He pondered for a moment before speaking:"We are currently relatively safe, so we will continue to clear out the zombies with all our strength. However, what we need to face is not just zombies... Does anyone know where we can get firearms and ammunition? Police stations, military barracks?"Guns may not deal with high-level zombies, but sometimes they are even more important than the equipment dropped from high-level zombies.Memphis wasn't sure if he could face guns. Just one bullet to the head, and he would be dead. Others, even more so, would have to obey
Amanda didn't pay attention to Memphis's anger, she brushed Gemma's hair and asked with a half-smile:"Do you think that's right?"Gemma looked at him with innocent, adorable eyes, giving him a bit of hope, then immediately answered Amanda:"Yes, that's right."This time even Winston couldn't help but laugh.Memphis wisely shut his mouth, letting the two continue their conversation. He could handle each one individually, but dealing with both of them together, especially in an argument, left him without any confidence.Amanda and Gemma truly made up. From the moment Memphis questioned them, they realized their mistakes and the narrow-mindedness in their thinking, and understood the importance of unity.The punishment from him made both of them feel the fairness, without any resentment or injustice. The two skill books Memphis deliberately placed in the public fund were meant for the two of them.If it was before the apocalypse, these two might not have reconciled. But in this apocalyp
