Nicky and Albin had returned, while the entire mansion was being turned upside down by the staff. No one could understand how a living, breathing person could vanish in a single minute, with hundreds of superhumans within 500 meters around the villa, yet no one had seen or heard anything.
Even extraordinary abilities weren’t usually this mysterious.
Nicky, now fully composed, glanced at Murphy and spoke calmly.
“Governor Reyes, we’ve told you already, Captain Wu left a while ago. He’s probably already back in Renaissan

Earlier that day, Jarred had wondered why the Lakeside base hadn’t been using machinery like excavators and bulldozers for trench digging, it turned out over 30 excavators had already been dispatched to the front lines, leaving the rear with only manpower.Hearing this, Memphis nodded, making a mental note to deploy nearly all their human and material resources toward Cloudy Town for trench digging. Without natural barriers like Lakeside’s rivers, they would create a "river" to completely separate Renaissance and NO Province.With all four rounds of scouting updates complete, it was time for the home base defense group, led by Allan Powell, Lionel Hester, Damon Miller, and Michal Reilly, to give their reports.Allan finally led his troops in clearing all zombies trapped within Pinecrest, Sapphire, and Whispering Avenues, burning 80% of the corpses and burying the remaining 20% near Grieving River, where they planned to experiment with growing mutated wild crops.Lionel successfully co
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 520:
Additionally, Hope Town would have to eliminate the 20,000-strong zombie horde gathering near the Lakeside bridge, fully reopening trade between the two areas.Finally, six government officials would be sent to monitor the enforcement of freedom, democracy, and public safety in Hope Town, ensuring that the residents were not oppressed.Memphis couldn’t help but chuckle coldly as he read. They were as condescending as ever, projecting a sense of noble superiority. But both sides shared a common goal for now, one wanting time to build strength, the other looking to resolve immediate difficulties and find a way out of being trapped on three fronts.Lakeside Base was busy dealing with the zombie army at Vienna, and they absolutely couldn’t spare any troops for a punitive expedition here, so they’d agreed to set aside their conflicts for now, intending to use Jarred’s “power” first. No doubt they’d turn on him once Vienna’s zombies were vanquished.They also hoped Hope Town would help clea

After setting this plan, Memphis then addressed Allan and Timon."Gather all the Superhumans with earth-manipulation skills. I want to dig a tunnel straight through the heart of Sunny Hills."Memphis elaborated on his strategy, and those around him couldn’t suppress a chill.Their leader was indeed bold, this reckless plan, if it succeeded, would secure a peaceful stretch for Renaissance.But if it failed, everyone would perish…Imagining the worst-case scenario, a brutal battle at Cloudy’s front with all of Hope’s 1,000-plus residents thrown into the fray, they’d barely be enough fuel for the fire.Memphis’s mood was grim. Testing the response of the monsters in Cloudy’s B Zone today had forced his hand, leaving no room for compromise. If there was ever a time to take a risk, it was now. Otherwise, they’d face the unrestricted invasion of over 100,000 zombies from NO precinct into Renaissance.Once the discussion concluded, Jarred took out a phone and played an audio recording, a car

Jarred swept the supplies off the table into his backpack and pulled out a twenty-page report. This was his comprehensive intel from Lakeside. Meanwhile, Memphis set out a separate report, listing troop conditions after fully assimilating the spoils of war, along with the remaining firearms and supernatural resources.They split the documents and began reading carefully.As of tonight, the population of Hope Town totals 1,041, including 307 regular soldiers and 95 reservists, putting military involvement above 38%.Among them, 169 Superhumans possess ranged attack skills, mostly at first-tier levels, with the remaining members having a variety of powers like s

Gathering all the documents on the table, Memphis finally slung his backpack over his shoulder, leisurely standing up and heading toward the officer’s quarters. It didn’t take long for him to locate a familiar room, where a vaguely familiar maid stood outside.After a moment’s lapse, unable to remember her name, Memphis decided to forgo introductions and asked directly,"Is Amanda inside?"The maid dutifully bowed and softly replied,"The leader, Miss Amanda has been waiting."Hearing that, Memphis felt a twinge of guilt. Waiting? It sounded like he was in for an interrogation.This woman always held an incredibly complex attitude toward him. On the one hand, she would constantly seduce him, using allure in an attempt to “claim” him, while on the other, she remained cool and distant, showing no hint of dependency or need. It was as if she held all the power. There were moments when she exposed his thoughts, almost like she could read his mind.Amanda probably understood Memphis better
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 524:
Amanda let out a soft snort, gazing out the window with a detached look as she said: “What do you take me for? Some convenience to relieve yourself when your wife’s away? Let me tell you, your title as the base leader might scare others, but it doesn’t scare me."“There’s… there’s nothing like that…”"Damn, she’s just as difficult as the first day…" Memphis thought, shrinking back under her reprimand, not daring to respond, instead mumbling a weak defense. From Amanda’s tone, he could sense a fierce pride, the stubborn determination of someone whose favorite toy had been taken by a rival but refused to pick it up if dropped, preferring to reclaim it with dignity.As he realized this, he couldn’t help but compare himself, feeling like he was that very toy, a realization that left him feeling somewhat demeaned.And worse, he was finding himself perversely enjoying this sense of degradation and contempt.Accepting that he’d get nothing out of tonight’s visit, Memphis coughed in pretense,

“Alright. Start refining it from tomorrow. Also, coordinate with Amanda and begin enforcing these protocols, refining them as you go.”Memphis wasn’t too bothered by Sarah’s shortcomings. In truth, her work up to this point had been quite good, it was just that the timeframe was too short, and she hadn’t had much exposure to the actual situation, so there were gaps in establishing the regulations. Now that they had Lakeside Base as a reference, the laws in Hope Town would undoubtedly be tighter and more comprehensive.He tapped her on the head just to assert his authority as the leader, to show he wasn’t just a figurehead, that he had his own sources of information and his own perspective, so she and the team wouldn’t dare harbor any thoughts of underestimating or going over his head.In reality, he didn’t know squat about any of this, or just the basics at best, nodding along to let things slide, signing whatever was put in front of him.He was indeed clueless, but under no circumsta
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 526:
Memphis sat there, staring out the window in a daze, for several seconds. Outside, the sky was a murky half-light, buildings stained with zombie blood that hadn’t yet been cleaned, walls lined with bullet scars, a stack of mobile fortifications piled on trucks, and the faint scurrying sounds of rats below.This was the apocalypse.The dream that had just floated away beyond the window had been incredibly simple, and yet it was full of memories of the monotonous world from before. Ironically, it brought Memphis a deep sense of peace. After 19 days in the apocalypse, last night might have been the first time he’d truly felt a restful sleep.He’d never felt so relaxed as he did now."Sometimes, it’s just sleeping in a cramped, stuffy room, hearing the familiar sound of the alarm clock, eating a bun you’ve had a thousand times, chatting with someone close, and throwing yourself into work to burn through your youth, grumbling about the boss but grinding away hour after hour. That much can

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…”“
Chapter 756:
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.“
