Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 510:
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

Tyra, a woman in her twenties, pointed to a newly drawn terrain map, cross-referencing it with the data on the screen and the written report, and began her update in a soft tone:“Commander, currently, approximately 80% of Cloudy Town shows no signs of free-roaming zombies, and the entire townscape is one of complete ruin.”“Both Zone A and Zone D exhibit signs of intense explosions and fires. Observations suggest these were accidental, possibly caused by electrical short circuits after the apocalypse or unattended fires, not deliberate attempts by humans to attack the zombies.”“In Zone C, several barricades and new roadblocks ha

Meanwhile, Wallflower’s gun crew had been surrounded by a group of six or seven newcomers, some seeking to learn and others to interrogate.Those who came to question initially arrived out of curiosity, but after hearing Jarred’s explanations, they were fuming."What? You brought twenty shells, but eighteen fell out in a bush by the road?""You lost artillery shells while… going to the bathroom? Were you carrying them somewhere they shouldn’t have been?""Jarred, the official count on your requisition was exactly twenty shells. Bringing only two? This is a breach of contract!"Most of the crowd shared this sentiment, yet out of nowhere came an officer from the Fourth Battalion, Deputy Commander General Ambrose Santos, who approached Jarred sincerely."Jarred, I heard you can reinforce shells with special abilities? Come to our battlefield, we’ll provide you with anti-tank rounds, howitzers, and DKZ-82 recoilless guns to work your enhancements."Hearing this, Black, the Deputy Commande
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 514:
That’s why the specialized shells caused such monstrous damage, they retained full energy for all three internal rounds without losing potency.Previously, that black dog at level 21 could rival an F2 level 25 simply by holding two demon-slaying bullets. Since the bullets hadn’t been fired, they retained all their latent threat, with effects waiting to be unleashed.Back on the battlefield, just one PG-9V shell had broken half of the zombie group’s defenses, creating a huge impact among those present. Ambrose, in particular, was certain the round had been entirely normal before Jarred’s modification. The difference in power was staggering. What kind of ability was this?Black was equally shocked, his eyes fixed on Jarred with an intense glint."This kid can’t be allowed to return to Renaissance, his ability is too useful."He wasn’t the only one, several others felt the same way. A superhuman who could enchant artillery rounds was truly unique. They lacked exactly this kind of talent
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 515:
The high command overseeing the campaign initially intended to continue the pursuit with specialized artillery, but Jarred kept glancing at the time and eventually waved his hand, signaling for a halt."I’m exhausted, mentally and physically.” he muttered: “If I don’t rest now, I’ll collapse. I can’t reinforce any more abilities right now."Although he was thoroughly protected by multiple layers of Light Armor, two lapses in Soul Suppression had left him on the edge. While others like Nicky and Albin were still holding up, Jarred was not.Under Jarred’s heavy insistence, he was finally granted permission to withdraw.The jeep carrying Jarred Lawton, Nicky Weiss, and Albin Palmer left the battlefield, heading back to the rear base. Joining them was Richard Savage, who personally arrived to receive them."Head of Department Savage, we’ve missed home for too long, let’s just head straight back. No need for a reception or welcome party.” Jarred mumbled drowsily in the jeep, stifling a yaw
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 516:
Shaking his head, he firmly replied,“I don’t feel safe here.”“Not safe? In what way? Tell me, and I’ll change it immediately.”Jarred’s patience was wearing thin after three minutes of back-and-forth. Time was precious to him, and he couldn’t waste it on polite chatter with this old man. Gritting his teeth, he cut to the chase:“Mayor Reyes, what do you want in exchange for letting us leave?”Murphy took a sip of green tea and replied calmly,“Jarred, we’re not detaining you. It’s just too dark to ensure your safety on the road… How about this: tomorrow morning, I’ll personally escort you back. Does that sound fair?”"Haha, by tomorrow morning, they’ll have another excuse. This old fox’s goal is to keep me here until I’ve charged enough artillery shells to wipe out the zombie horde—he has no intention of letting me go tomorrow morning."Jarred chuckled bitterly to himself but outwardly feigned helplessness. After pretending to hesitate for ten seconds, he finally said,“I need to co
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 517:
Memphis had planned everything out. Jarred would use the Level 4 Simulation Ring to replicate the Moonlight Reflection ability, the clone would operate publicly while the original Jarred gathered intelligence from the shadows.The skill had been charging up with moonlight energy for days, accumulating a full twelve hours of continuous activation. Memphis had deployed it twice, for six hours each time, allowing Jarred to copy it to ensure mission success.The Reflection Clone was relatively fragile and required thorough protection to maintain its duration. Too many hits would shorten its lifespan. This was why Jarred had hidden behind Light Armor instead of fighting, and even two glancing hits had shaved significant time off the first activation’s duration.He had no intention of using the second activation unless absolutely necessary, it was far too valuable.Jarred would infiltrate the base himself to gather direct intelligence. This was challenging for an average person but trivial

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.“
