Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 571:
As skills evolved and levels increased, so too did the madness and distortion. Here was a human carrying zombie meat with pride, enthusiastically discussing its preparation as though it were a culinary delight.If they knew about the secret society formed by the four survivors in Hope Town—a group focused on eating third-tier zombies, exchanging recipes for better flavor and enhanced abilities—their shock would reach new heights.Pushing that thought aside, Memphis narrowed his eyes at the E3 Level 33 zombie. This monster chose to consume brains and internal organs—the most grotesque parts. But why? Brains made some sense, given they housed medicinal crystals. But organs? Why not eat ribs or thighs—the "prime cuts"?
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 572:
After instructing Wylie and his team not to provoke or lure E3 further—just occasionally dropping 100g of meat to keep it contained—while beginning drone surveillance of all zombies around the Crimson Flame Town area, Memphis set off once again.With the north and west secure, he still needed to inspect the southern area near Iron Stone Town and the central Renaissance area. He couldn’t linger here marveling at his foes.An attack from an E3 level 33 was simply terrifying. If it hit an armored BMP-1 vehicle, it would undoubtedly pierce through front to back, destroying everything inside—or, at the very least, punch a hole while the residual force turned the entire crew into minced flesh.Truly horrifying.The most revolting thing in this apocalypse wasn’t a horde of tens of thousands of zombies but the Devouring Type. A horde of 70,000 zombies might be held back by 1,000 defenders, but against a Devouring Type? Haha, a thousand people from Hope Town would just line up to be devoured.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 573:
This was an incredibly powerful zombie horde, only slightly weaker than the Sunny Hills horde. Moreover, they were unrestrained defensively—they were fully in attack mode.Once they moved to attack, it would be an unrelenting onslaught.However, this horde’s advance was not particularly fast, covering only a few dozen meters per hour. Their trajectory shifted inconsistently between left and right, as though they had yet to settle on a specific target.Five kilometers southeast of the horde’s current position was a massive bridge spanning the Grieving River—Grieving River Bridge—connecting Whiskey County and Lakeside County.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 574:
The vehicle took 20 minutes to transport Memphis back to the Renaissance district's center, now concentrating 70% of Hope Town's forces. This was the next patrol point he needed to personally oversee.The central Renaissance area housed 200 regular team members, 50 reserves, and 200 logistical personnel, all under Jarred's management. They were actively executing plans to clear out the remaining 60% of the district’s area.Tasks included using loudspeakers to broadcast messages to hidden survivors, breaking into houses to eliminate trapped zombies, scavenging all remaining resources, raiding tech stores, draining vehicle fuel tanks, removing street car batteries, retrieving paper documents from government offices, and raiding company headquarters for machine operation manuals.Though the workload was heavy and the district vast, surviving humanity had vastly evolved. Official team members had all surpassed level 7, their strength and stamina significantly enhanced, their numbers large
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 575:
One member recently killed a mutated cockroach, a level-12 creature the size of a wrist. In doing so, they acquired the Tier-2 passive skill "Omnivore" and were now requesting an exchange for a Tier-3 skill from the higher-ups.This skill perfectly encapsulated the essence of cockroaches: the ability to consume virtually anything. Those who learned this skill could eat wood, dirt, paper, plastic, rotten corpses, and even zombie flesh, digesting it as though it were normal food. The downside? They would permanently lose their sense of taste, unable to experience flavors ever again.After some deliberation, Memphis decided to pass on the opportunity, leaving it to someone with more... adventurous tastes. Jokingly, he thought, while he had often imagined himself starving underground, he would never stoop to eating dirt. If that day ever came, he’d simply use the Tier-3 "Big Earth Manipulation" skill from his backpack to dig his way out instead of consuming dirt to survive.Besides, with

In short, as long as this barrier exists, no wild zombies can infiltrate the area under its protection. Even if they manage to enter, they cannot hide or cause harm. Humans living within the zone will enjoy maximum security.The stronger the faction, the denser the human population within, and the more resources and higher level of development it commands, the broader the barrier's coverage. The instant elimination threshold for zombies will also rise accordingly.However, the system is not without its weaknesses.Firstly, when the barrier purges zombies within its range, its area shrinks. If the barrier's size falls below 30% of its previous day's coverage, the Safe Crystal loses its ability to level up or regenerate. Once its coverage drops to 10%, the Safe Crystal enters a self-destruction process, eventually disappearing permanently.The idea of throwing the crystal into a zombie horde was abandoned immediately. While it would indeed kill many zombies, the crystal itself would be
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 577:
Setting these concerns aside, Memphis focused on the third function of the Safe Crystal, which perhaps most justified its name.The first function, the protective barrier, safeguarded the entire territory.The second function, the trading market, enhanced the residents' defensive capabilities.The third function, however, allowed the crystal’s owner to escape danger, returning to the protected zone.The purple star in his hand could temporarily detach five smaller star fragments from its core. When the imbued skill within these fragments was activated, the

Jarred, after hearing this reasoning from his elder brother, began to calm down. Indeed, if they could save 12,000 Bright Points to purchase another Tier 4 skill book, it would undoubtedly be better.After thinking it through, he glanced at the Concealment Technique skill book that had been tossed over to him and immediately started shouting again: "Big brother, give me this skill!"Memphis’s lips twitched in irritation as he snapped back: "Does it suit your fighting style?"Jarred hesitat

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…”“

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.“
