Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 504:
As Big Black Dog climbed up from the tunnel, it shook itself, scattering dirt everywhere, even splattering onto Memphis's clothes. It paid no mind, merely sticking out its tongue to lick its wet nose, then barked wildly:“Woof woof howwwl…”“Human, I’ve finished digging. Bring it over. Woof!”Memphis nodded, pointing at the refrigerated truck and barking back:“Yip!”“Good! Now let’s transport the treasure
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 505:
Lakeside District.Lakeside District covers roughly the same area as Renaissance, but its population is 2.5 times larger. Because of the zombie horde near Lakeside Bridge, Jarred's convoy took over an hour to navigate through the danger zone. They had to detour around the area where the zombies were concentrated; otherwise, they might not have made it through at all.Sitting in the back seat of the jeep, Jarred focused his gaze out the window, trying to gauge the distance to the Lakeside base according to Memphis's descriptions. Memphis had scouted the area last night and had gathered essential information about it.After the convoy drove for another five minutes, Jarred suddenly clutched his stomach and yelled out."Damn it, stomachache! I need to use the bathroom…"He shouted while stomping on the car floor, startling Richard beside him, who quickly waved his hands to reassure him."Captain Lawton, just three more minutes…""Hurry up and stop the car! I’m about to explode here; pull

After passing the relief zone, they headed toward the resettlement area. The scene here wasn’t much better—dilapidated houses with dark red or black stains, some buildings destroyed by artillery, and plenty of bullet-riddled walls.People shuffled back and forth, most of them ragged or even filthy, especially the children, whose matted hair was almost brown. Watching this, Jarred couldn’t help but ponder silently:“Is there no cleaning or sanitation? A water shortage, perhaps? That’s likely, seeing as the nearest river crossing is six kilometers away, with the Hour Ferry Point four kilometers off… But they have that woman Starla, so why let water shortages happen? I heard she’s been hovering around, managing her boats these past few days. What’s she plotting?”Hope Town, besides its groundwater pumped from wells, also supplies the entire Pinecrest area, and it’s only 800 meters from Grieving River at its edge, so there’s no shortage of water resources.Around the resettlement area, st
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 507:
Without something to strive for, the entire community would stagnate. Those with strength and vision deserved different rewards; forced to mingle with the ordinary, they’d feel like lions among dogs—eventually growing frustrated, and in time, losing their drive.No human could entirely subdue their instinct for superiority. The skilled should be distinguished, placed elsewhere, granted special benefits. Living close to brilliance uplifts; people in the apocalypse don’t get to shine by mere proximity but through sacrifice on the front lines, risking life, exchanging blood and sweat.Such sacrifices deserved to be rewarded with a better life in the center—that was true fairness.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 508:
After Richard left, Murphy pushed the "document" to the center of the table and turned to the thirty-something man in a gray suit with a hint of arrogance on his face, asking,"Deputy Chief Reyes, what do you make of this?"This young man was Percy Reyes, deputy chief of supplies, responsible for overseeing non-standard supplies for the entire survivor base in Lakeside County. Of course, he was also the only son of County Chief Murphy Reyes.Percy carefully re-read the fake document, scrutinizing it repeatedly but finding no flaws. Finally, he replied cautiously,"Father… County Chief Reyes, I think we should confiscate all related materials and issue a strict reminder to all military personnel against indiscriminate acceptance of supplies. We absolutely cannot appear to be supporting these bandits."Murphy tapped his fingers on the table before asking,"Hmm, anything else?"His tone was calm and indifferent, seemingly without any emotional nuance, making it impossible to gauge what h

After a brief fifteen-minute respite, the vehicle arrived at the frontlines.Brady had taken over for Richard to accompany Jarred, and now he turned to him with a cautious question."Captain Lawton, which battlefront would you like to join?"This young man’s strength was almost at a commander’s level, so his opinion mattered most.Jarred listened as Brady quickly introduced the four battlefields, then, considering his own plans, quickly made a decision."Take me to the front where the humans have the strongest defenses, I’m terrified of dying and need safety—absolute safety."After thinking for a moment, Richard replied: “Then the frontline led by Commander Sears is the place for you, it has the highest number of protectors."With the decision made, Jarred was soon escorted to the battle’s border by a Lakeside soldier.The fighting here was ferocious. As far as the eye could see, black waves of zombies surged forward. The humans, though valiantly holding their ground, were forced to r

In addition, Jarred wanted to keep the secret of the demon-slaying gun under wraps. From the intelligence gathered, no one in Lakeside had heard of this weapon, and he had no intention of sharing it with the opposing side.By drawing their attention to his unique ability to create effects for the bullets, he achieved his objective for this mission.After finishing the preparations and climbing out of the vehicle, Jarred was met by cold and hostile stares from all around. He scoffed. These fools had annoyed him since he’d arrived, ogling his sister-in-law as they were. He could only wish to bind them up and haul them back to Hope to deal with, but they had no real connection to him—why should he care?Jarred then stepped forward, tossing the modified round to a nearby team member operating the SPG-09 recoilless gun and nonchalantly commanded:“Direct shot at shielded Level 25, target should be at least 1.6 kilometers away.”The teammate, catching the PG-9V round, was taken aback, stari

At that thought, his eyes widened, his pupils darted around before narrowing quickly.Memories flooded back of being chased by a towering creature, standing at nearly three meters, with dark, slimy skin and furious howls echoing behind him. That had been one of Wylie’s riskiest missions, where he was tasked with luring a terrifying monster into a trap."A Devouring Type… an Eat-2, at least level 23…"Cold sweat poured from Wylie’s forehead. It had been so long since he’d last encountered a Devouring Type that he’d almost forgotten the existence of such creatures.This was the most formidable kind of zombie. Intelligent, strong, fast, resilient, with supreme combat skills, the ability to level up by devouring other zombies, self-repair abilities, tactical awareness, and even the instinct to retreat when facing danger. Practically without weaknesses, even severing the head couldn’t kill it — they had to electrocute it with high-voltage power. It was only missing flight and the ability t

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

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.“
