Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 576:
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

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

Moreover, 4 skill points and 16 potential points were substantial boosts in power.Still, despite the tempting rewards, Memphis had no intention of choosing this. Leveling up could be achieved through hard work over time; there was no need to rush.The second option remained true to its "random luck" format but sweetened the deal with a guaranteed 28,452 Bright Points, matching the exact amount he currently possessed. This ensured he could still purchase valuable items from the marketplace even if the random rewards turned out to be junk.Once again, anything involving luck or uncertainty was something Memphis resolutely avoided. Even if the system offered him

Anyone possessing a Safe Crystal would always be a target, their “safety” perpetually under threat.The final task required 720 hours to complete—equivalent to a full month. Not short, but certainly not long either. This would be a month drenched in blood, filled with zombie slaying, human combat, attacks, defenses, and faction building. There would be no semblance of the leisure from the last 20 days.Now, any half-hearted work meant certain death. The higher you climbed, the more chains you carried; standing still was nothing but moving backward."When Jarred completes his mission, he'll earn a Wishing Stone. I wonder what it does, what it

Starla’s long-term presence at the docks and proximity to the armored vehicle workshop posed significant challenges to Hope Town’s plans.No one knew what Starla was up to—was she preparing to attack Hope Town?She was from Lakeside, and staying here was like a sharp dagger constantly pressed against their weakest side. He had to find a way to drive her out as soon as possible.Observing for another two minutes, Memphis finally spoke, his voice loud and sharp:"What are you doing?"Starla, with her flowing blue hair resembli

After returning to the headquarters and delivering the haul of fish to the kitchen, Memphis made a stop at the Black Hound Villa to collect 50 liters of mutated jade milk, which he stored in his Level 4 Storage Ring. Then he set off to the biochemical testing facility located three kilometers from the main base.This facility initially housed only 14 prisoners tasked with poison testing for food, researching zombie toxin thresholds, and experimenting with stimulant herbs. However, it recently welcomed nine new volunteers who agreed to participate in biochemical trials.That morning, Memphis had issued a notice seeking candidates to test three new experimental medicines. The offer of triple the standard wages immediately attracted 15 applicants, nine of whom passed the health screenings and were accepted into the trials.It was no wonder they jumped at the chance. If they could survive the seven-day trial, they would earn approximately 350 contribution points in total, including wages

Leroy and Monty left as instructed. When they returned five minutes later, all the zombie extract containers in the corner had vanished. In their place sat a 50-liter plastic drum filled with milky-white liquid, alongside a small porcelain jar that shimmered with ever-changing colors—a sight both eerie and mesmerizing.Memphis pointed to two items on the table and spoke slowly:"Test the maximum tolerance of the zombie extract on those nine newcomers. Also, determine the full effects of this porcelain vial—specifically, what each color does."What he carried away was a batch of failed imitation extract, while what he left behind was a level 4 artifact: the Mutation Flask."Understood.” came the reply.After assigning the task, Memphis emerged from the underground base and headed straight for the zombie containment area nearby. This facility housed over 40 zombies ranging from level 1 to level 18.After dismissing two temporary staff members, Memphis flipped his right hand, revealing a

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
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

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

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.“
