Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 535:
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 536:
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
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 537:
“Both sides, humans and zombies, have tasks to eliminate each other; it’s a fundamental setup of this game.”“The humans in Lakeside have nearly exterminated all zombies within their territory, putting them in a relatively safe state, especially from threats posed by organized zombie hordes.”“That’s against the system setup. With such a large population, their safety contradicts the system’s rules. But, Lakeside’s internal zombies are almost gone, and the remaining wild zombies aren’t enough to form a horde…”“I suspect that at any given time, a human base must face a minimum threat from at least one zombie horde. The larger the population, the greater the threat they’ll face.”“Our base, with over 300 people, faced the threat of a 40,000-strong zombie horde from central Renaissance. Cormac’s group, with over 600 people, endured a 70,000-strong zombie horde from Sunny Hills.”“Lakeside, with over 6,000 people, naturally faces an even greater threat. That’s why the zombie horde from n
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 538:
Outwardly, he ordered Nicky to negotiate a passage to deal with the 20,000 zombies for trade purposes, while secretly he created a hair-trigger crisis for Lakeside, shifting all the risk onto them.If he genuinely wanted open trade, he wouldn’t have planted explosives under Lakeside Bridge.Once Lakeside was devoid of Manipulation Types, it was only a matter of time before reports would come in of strange zombie movements in Whiskey and downtown Pure Essence.The zombies from Whiskey would have two choices: attack Hope Town or the Lakeside base. If Lakeside appeared safer, the zombies would likely flood there, sparing Hope Town the worst of the assault.<
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 539:
The Hope Town food management policies were relatively strict. Although there was no mandate for everyone to hand over all foraged supplies, getting food out of the logistics department was extremely rare. Lionel, the fat overseer, had a reputation for hoarding.Some people focused on amassing battle achievements, borrowing and trading them to monopolize and create scarcity in specific goods to resell for a profit—condensed milk, sugar, fruit syrup, canned fruits… These actions didn’t disrupt the larger framework, so Memphis typically let it slide.Of course, this behavior was expected to decrease considerably once a complete set of laws was introduced in a few days.Life for the lowest class residents of Hope Town was far from luxurious and certainly not easy. The scavenging teams uncovered more spoiled food, leading Memphis to further tighten Lionel's warehouse quotas.The aid porridge had recently grown thinner as Lionel rationed each grain, preparing for Memphis’s next austerity m
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 540:
With a dark expression, Memphis glared at the AWM in his hands, blaming the weapons maintenance team. Clearly, this sniper rifle was faulty. Allowing such defective equipment to reach the front lines was absolutely unacceptable."Sigh… If I had a squad of 100 snipers, each a marksman at this range, we could take out a horde of 20,000 zombies in half an hour…"Sniping isn’t easy work. In less than a second, a sniper has to perform hundreds of calculations, factoring in various data to ensure each bullet flies true. The further the target, the greater the influencing factors and the higher the chance of missing.For instance, aiming for the head of a Strength Type above level 20 was nearly impossible, as these creatures emitted a powerful gravitational aura, pulling bullets off course and making it extremely hard to line up an accurate shot.Memphis couldn’t fathom how some people managed to land 10 out of 10 shots. His Hope regiment boasted five military personnel and seven police offi
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 541:
As long as there were zombies for him to fight, he would not stop.The rest of the troops were nearly left unemployed, with the remaining zombies primarily being level 3 and higher. Against this Deputy Commander, however, they were as helpless as clay figures, and the others could only pick off stragglers, gathering up the resource crystals scattered on the ground.Watching Jarred, it seemed as though he was about to charge directly toward the zombie horde’s command center. Memphis began to wonder—had this kid been through something that made him act so reckless?“Maybe he tried to flirt with someone at Lakeside and got rejected?”The odds seemed high. But regardless, it was working in their favor. Thirty minutes? Memphis wanted to see the entire zombie horde shattered within that time.“Oeeeeee…”The Manipulation Type finally sensed the urgency and rallied the power of over 4,000 zombies, directing a Soul Suppression attack toward their position. But it was futile; a horde of 40,000
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 542:
The Manipulation Type here was too foolish, and the horde it commanded was too weak, both in numbers and intelligence, and was no match. Facing Hope Town’s forces, which had endured two major wars and blood-forged training with refined tactical operations, it didn’t stand a chance. The battle ended too quickly, giving it no time to adapt or learn tactics.With the two high-speed generals swiftly taken out, the Level 25 P2 finally scrambled over. It was met by an 80mm PG-2 HEAT anti-tank round to the chest, traveling at over 80 meters per second. The P2 couldn’t dodge and was torn in half, its torso, legs, and arms scattering in different directions.Memphis didn’t hesitate to use anti-tank rounds because this Strength Type monstrosity was indeed formidable. Its innate skill that nullified and destroyed other abilities made it incredibly challenging. The entire army would’ve needed three full waves of attacks to bring down this brute.That would’ve been wasteful; those three waves coul

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.“
