Memphis scanned the room, his ears catching the vibrant, excited cheers of nearly a thousand people outside the door. He finally understood the strange restlessness in the room.

"Really feel like casting a Soul Suppression combined with Dominance Aura on this lazy bunch…" he thought with frustration, tempted to lash out. Instead, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, we’ll discuss other issues later. Thank you for your hard work, the meeting is now—"

"Understood!"

"Yes, sir!"

Before he even finished, Wylie shouted his response, rushing for the door, followed by Jarred Lawton, Allan Powell, Osiris Byrne, Maggie Mark, Travis Tate… Within seconds, only a handful of people remained.

"A bunch of disorderly, lazy fools, hooligans, no discipline at all…" Memphis cursed under his breath. Important matters were still pending, and new tasks hadn’t even been assigned, yet these people already thought about entertainment. He’d baited them with a comment, and no one had stepped forward with an

    Throwing the matter to the back of his mind, he picked up the next document."Devouring Type advancing to level 33, truly fast… It’s been lured another 4 kilometers north, currently about 9km from the zombie hill and 7km from Crimson Flame Town’s center...""E3’s lifestyle traits include… innate ability traits include… It reacts even to inanimate objects approaching nearby, like drones...""The canned food factory on the outskirts of Crimson Flame Town has had all surrounding zombies cleared, and the production lines are mostly preserved."Wylie’s report was very thorough and detailed. Mm, at the current location, unless the Devouring Type misses home and wants to suddenly "visit.” no matter what they do around Crimson Flame Town, it’ll be hard for it to detect anything.This still requires close monitoring of E3’s movements, once the zombie horde in Sunny Hills successfully gathers, they’ll lead that creature there, letting the zombies and the creature fight each other, constantly we

    In the middle of the stage, six dancers, scantily clad, performed eye-catching routines, their moves both frenzied and provocative. A somewhat well-known singer, holding a microphone, ran around the stage interacting with the raised hands below:"Come on, everyone, let's shout together...""Whoo whoo whoo...""Ohhh ohhh ohhh...""Go, go, go...""Xena White, I love you..."The crowd, fueled by the singer’s rallying, seemed to be in a frenzy. Hundreds of voices rose in wild cheers, uniting in an ecstatic outburst. People even threw ration vouchers, dried food, and turbo boots onto the stage as support. A black two-piece bra was tossed on stage, sending the atmosphere into an explosive, chaotic fervor."Whoo whoo whoo...""More drinks!""Aaaaah...""Hey hey..."Sound, lights, visuals, colors, scents, touch, ambiance, connection, effects—endorphins, adrenaline, testosterone, oxytocin—all of it melded into a roaring symphony of human experience.Nearly a thousand people were now releasing

    “It seems like only these two still call me 'Master' in all of Hope Town. Sigh…”Memphis sighed as he glanced back, and beside him, Bridget and Brigitte shivered slightly with excitement. How long had it been? Seven days? Seventy days? Seven hundred days? Memphis was finally calling them into his room again. In the past, it was almost customary for him to summon them each evening to open item cards—a time filled with joy and happiness.Now, as members of Gemma's squad, they knew much more about the extraordinary world, no longer innocent or unaware, yet their anticipation remained just as vivid.Their master hadn’t forgotten them. He still wanted their help.“Yes ~”“Yes ~”The room’s door opened, and Memphis led the two attendants inside. Naturally, the other two were there as well. It seemed tonight, they weren’t asleep—maybe because the music outside was too loud?Seeing Memphis return, Sarah quickly removed her glasses and stood up from behind the desk, while Shaina paused her emb

    Memphis gazed hungrily at the platters of food before him, practically drooling with anticipation, barely resisting the urge to let it all spill out.The feast comprised fifteen dishes, including soy-sauce steamed fish, garlic-butter prawns, beef stew with mushrooms, stir-fried sun-dried squid with ginger and onions, braised pork trotters with carrots, baked cheesy potatoes, braised beef tendons with beans, mackerel in tomato sauce, buttery bean sprouts, crispy spring rolls, sweet corn and red bean rice, creamy pasta, dried seaweed salad with shredded beef, and pumpkin soup.In the center of the feast was the highlight of the night, a golden, crispy roasted chicken seasoned with salt and chili. This fresh chicken had been sent over from Iron Stone Town as a gift from the head of that base to Memphis, with only three birds available in total, making it extremely precious.Surrounding the table were soft drinks, wine, flowers, candles, and glassware, all glowing warmly under the soft li

    He needed something more extraordinary. So he quickly waved his hand to stop her and said"Alright, very good, take a short break. Brigitte, it’s your turn."Brigitte, who had previously unlocked a level 4 Demon-Slayer Gun and a level 4 Mimic Ring, was Memphis’s true lucky star, and he held high expectations that she would satisfy him.Hearing the command, Brigitte nervously picked up an item card, muttering prayers to the red skull in the sky for over a minute, hoping to gain a great item.It seemed Brigitte’s luck indeed came from the red skull, as when she activated the card, a golden light as bright as the sun suddenly appeared. Memphis’s eyes widened with excitement, this was the phenomenon only seen with a level 4 item—she’d truly unlocked something great!The light faded after a few seconds, revealing a flawlessly round golden orb in Brigitte’s hand. The orb was only the size of a pinky fingertip, resembling a marble, and emitted a faint, peculiar pull. This allure made all fiv

    "Ding! Level 3 Thief's Gloves. Attribute: +3 Agility. Enchantment: Borrowed Strike. Activating this skill randomly steals one enchantment skill from an item equipped by a targeted foe. Skill cooldown: 8 hours per use. Maximum accumulation: 3 uses."Memphis slipped on the black gloves on his left hand, admiring them with a sense of satisfaction.The “Thief” class was truly fascinating, all its abilities required stealing to function. Imagine using an 8-hour cooldown to steal a 24-hour skill—what a thrill! And to steal an opponent’s weapon skill so they’re left unable to use it mid-attack would certainly disrupt their strategy.“Brigitte’s definitely my lucky charm. Her luck at drawing high-quality items surpasses everyone else in Hope Town…”If she hadn’t drawn five Level 2 items in a row, clearly hitting a limit, he would’ve been tempted to let her keep drawing.With 15 cards left on the table, just as Memphis was about to have Brigitte try her luck again, Sarah’s eyes sparkled as she

    The chance of this item ever showing up again was probably random too, he might never see something like it again for the rest of his life…“Gotta find someone to test this thing…”As the thought arose, he began discreetly glancing at the four women in the room.Bridget? Difficult. She was too clever, too wary, there was no way she’d agree to test something like this.Brigitte? Also difficult. She was still reeling from the effects of the Level 4 Gluttonous Dungeon, her face was pale, and she’d be hard to convince to try anything new.Shaina… sigh, with her eternally sorrowful expression, he felt a bit of reluctance there.Sarah… why was she still smiling so smugly? Was she in a daze or what?"The more educated, the more successful, the more prestigious—the easier they are to deceive, especially at unexpected moments… She’s highly educated, confident in herself, always certain she can’t be fooled. Perfect target…”To deceive someone, you first had to understand them. Memphis was a sea

    However, it was still a powerful tool, ideal for solo confrontations with high-level zombies, sparing the user from constantly dodging attacks. Its most effective use might be against Explosion Types, which could detonate with the slightest disturbance. But finding the correct color and timing was definitely a challenge.He quickly snatched the bottle back, giving it a few shakes. Outside, it continued to display a mix of colors, and inside he could hear a faint liquid sloshing, though the bottle appeared empty. The hidden potency was as unpredictable as its colors, there was no telling what effect might follow another drink."Getting ready to die..."Memphis was a cautious man, partly due to his deep curiosity about everything—an urge that often led to dangerous situations. But since Sarah had survived her drink, he doubted he’d have worse luck than she did.After a few more shakes, the colors outside shifted to a sparkling dark purple, and he tilted his head back and drank without h

    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

    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

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    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.“
