Despite this favorable start, Lazarus, observing closely, frowned and seized the loudspeaker, yelling:“Stay focused! Reconfirm with your partners within your assigned areas, attack the right targets! Move forward step-by-step as I instructed!”His proposal was for each team of three Superhumans to have one Superhuman assigned to scout the incoming zombies. These scouts would designate targets for those beside them, ensuring that each team member attacked different targets, preventing any single zombie from enduring multiple strikes simultaneously.A first-level fire blade skill, when maximally enhanced with four rounds, would release four separate blades of fire, meaning four zombies should be eliminated. Not to mention second-level and third-level skills—more zombies needed to be taken down with each strike. Across the 105 Superhumans in the army with ranged attack skills, at least 600 zombies should be killed in one assault. But only 300 were downed—efficiency was too low.That’s w
Pop… pop pop pop…Numerous layers of second and third-level Light Armor cracked and exploded into blue light, leaving many people below dazed and with their intelligence stat slightly reduced. However, no one was seriously injured, and there wasn’t even any bloodshed. Meanwhile, more than 100 people who were struck by the residual force at a distance suffered more severe injuries, with some vomiting blood on the spot and many screaming in fear from hallucinations.The Counterturn strike, rebounded by Memphis, hit the Manipulation Type directly. The level 25 P2’s abdomen suddenly swelled as if it was about to burst, and its mouth spewed a torrent of blood, feeling like it was on the verge of collapse.The Shield 1 and Shield 2 zombies around it hastily opened their mouths, projecting a dozen layers of blood-red Light Armor to shield it from further damage. But there was no longer any attack to withstand, their master had already been badly shaken.The surrounding zombie horde fell into
Memphis rubbed his nose thoughtfully, casting a sinister gaze at a level 1 zombie nearby, feeling a surge of boundless malice.“Dominance Aura!”This was a semi-passive tier-four skill that had dropped from the M2 level 28 zombie at Sunny Hills, activating without consuming any resources. With high enough level, base intelligence, and a significant disparity with the target, the aura’s intimidation power intensified.The level 1 zombie, upon catching Memphis’s malicious gaze, froze in place. Dark blood began to drip from its decayed eyes as its features twisted grotesquely. Once crawling leisurely down the road, it now collapsed in terr
Memphis froze at the sight, hastily retracting his intent and shouting urgently,“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Medic team, get over here for support!”Upon hearing his shout, two medics quickly ran to assist the communications officer, while a protection team member activated Light Armor, covering Memphis.“Commander, please move back. I’ll handle the next attack.”The team member was highly professional, taking Memphis’s alert seriously and raising his vigilance by 200%, positioning himself in front to shield the commander.Memphis hid in the Light Armor for a few seconds, a bit embarrassed, pretending to look around as if scanning for enemies. When no one seemed to notice him, he discreetly slipped away to another corner to continue the fight.“Damn, I’m too strong. I scare even myself…”As Memphis mumbled with excitement, four explosive rounds launched toward them. Three were intercepted mid-air, and the last one hit the b40 mesh barrier, stopping short of causing any damage.The zo
It was a creature standing three meters tall, its entire body sleek with a filthy, oily black mucus. Its bulging muscles looked like coiled vipers, emanating an explosive power. Sharp, grotesque bone spikes jutted out from its joints and down its spine.This creature had a triangular head with no eyes or nose, only a wide, gaping mouth that took up 80% of its face. Instead of a tongue, its mouth was lined with six rows of rotating serrated teeth moving in opposite directions, and a dark, abyssal throat that seemed ready to consume anything in its path.“Ding! Devouring Type level 32…”From over two kilometers away, Wylie observed the creature's actions through military binoculars. As it appeared, it lunged at the octopus-like tentacle from the M2 level 28 Sunny Hills, taking a large bite, and then punched the loudspeaker, shattering it into pieces.Five hundred meters above, a civilian drone recorded the creature’s actions on video.Two hours passed, and they managed to lure it three
“So strong…”After observing for about three minutes, Jarred murmured in admiration. Still, he wasn’t intimidated. If he activated his giant transformation, his defense would easily withstand the force of Xenon’s blades, and his speed and strength would surpass the movements of those weapons.But when two AK-47 rifles seemed to levitate next to Xenon as if possessed and automatically began shooting at the horde, Jarred fell silent.“Damn… what kind of skill is this?”Xenon’s profession was Power Engineer, and his primary skill was the third-level Mind Manipulation. This ability allowed him to use mental energy to control inanimate objects as easily as his own limbs, similar to how Memphis controlled his ice minions—eerily powerful.He could handle up to 20 machetes at once, but doing so would reduce their speed and power, while also draining more energy, so the returns weren’t worth it. Instead, he controlled six blades and two guns, which allowed him to handle any situation.Jarred a
It was as if time froze for a beat—the world momentarily held its breath. A black, viscous stream of blood started to ooze from the top of the Shield-2’s head. The blood poured more and more, along with a sticky substance and a shower of red light, before the monster’s body split in two and crumbled to the ground. Its remains disintegrated into a pile of sludge, as if thousands of blade lights had minced it into fine pieces.It was dead.Fergus let out a heavy grunt, planting his blade into the ground as he panted. His fierce gaze fixed ahead, focusing on the blood-red skill book lying beside the Defense Type’s corpse.Too far, nearly a kilometer away…“A fourth-level skill…”Fergus murmured as if to confirm, taking a deep breath to steady himself before shouting: “Thiên Dật! Grab the spoils, we’ll split them!”While Jarred was still in shock over the terrifying blade strike, a blue-cloaked figure shot out from the fifth line of defense of Battalion Three, darting towards the zombie h
The properties of the white and red varieties remained unknown. Only squad leaders with substantial contributions could access and use them, but it was rumored they were tremendously potent.Jarred couldn’t help but salivate at the thought of tasting them; they had to be better than peppers or rocks. But after two days of searching, he’d given up on finding the vines. At least he’d managed to “borrow” ten smoke bombs—more than enough for his research.After observing Fergus for another ten minutes and assessing his actual strength, Jarred finally wrapped up his reconnaissance of Lakeside’s upper ranks."Three hours left until the Echo Clone expires. What to do to kill time… Hmm, maybe ‘borrow’ a few more shells as a gift for the boss. This time, let’s try Zared’s stash…”The bounty from Jarred’s excursion was impressive. While he’d spent the previous afternoon and this morning running around with little opportunity to dispatch zombies, the experience had broadened his horizons conside
