It was the first time someone had been killed by another person in Hope Town, where death by zombies was common. And it had happened openly, in the very center of town.As Memphis arrived, the woman seemed to sense his presence. She raised her head, and her eyes burned with hatred as she shouted,"Thieves! Murderers! You filthy scum! Why did you kill my little girl?"Her anguished cries echoed through the air, laced with the despair of a mother mourning her 9-year-old daughter. Under the dim glow of the blood-red sunset, amidst the suffocating terror of the apocalypse, her voice magnified the desolation of the scene. The power of righteousness is so immense that it can lead to "sacrificing oneself for the greater good." Even blood ties can be severed in the name of righteousness, earning acclaim and eternal reverence, leaving future generations unable to criticize or judge. What, then, could prevent someone from fully exercising their power?In fact, with righteousness, even minor missteps would be glossed over and forgiven by the overarching narrative.The three obstacles to action—legal consequences, social moral risks, and pangs of conscience—cease to be barriers when righteousness is secured. Instead, they become tools to help achieve one’s goals, while opponents remain shackled and unable to act freely. The entire incident lasted no more than five seconds, ending with Bart tossing his weapon aside and hysterically denying responsibility.Now, the horrific scene lay before them.Although there were minor discrepancies in eyewitness accounts, the essence remained the same: Bart mercilessly killed two demonstrators with terrifying precision.After collecting testimonies, Memphis turned to Wilbur Miller and asked:"Are there cameras in the vicinity?"Twelve security caApocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources?

Once they were done, Memphis stepped forward, his hand outstretched. His voice was calm yet commanding:"Sixth-tier Resurrection Art, activate!"A chilling energy emanated from his palm, enveloping the child’s body. Thirty seconds later, the little girl stirred. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open. She turned to her side and retched, expelling a clotted mass of dark, congealed blood.Though pale and frail, her stiff movements were unmistakable signs of life."She’s... alive?!"
"The law exists not to oppress but to support. That’s why we have three branches: legislative, judicial, and executive. If you have grievances, go to the judiciary. If you need to file complaints, report to the enforcers. If you want to contribute ideas, approach the legislature. That’s how we build a foundation for fair and organized living—not through disorganized protests.""If everyone adhered to the law from the beginning, tragedies like this would never happen.""But the tragedy has occurred, and it unfolded in the worst possible way. This is not a time for blame but for reflection—to learn from our mistakes, to amend what is reasonable and unreasonable alike!"
Company Diamond Valley."You fool, you worthless scum, don't you know how to act like a decent human being?"Memphis Jackman stood in front of the director's desk, his head bowed, eyes fixed on his shoes, silently enduring the stream of vulgar curses. If it weren't for the 3000 USD monthly salary, he would have long since stormed up and kicked that idiotic fat man.His director, Lionel Hester, was a hybrid between a hippopotamus and a wild boar. Clearly, Diamond Valley was a scam company, yet he demanded that Memphis Jackman do upright and legitimate work.Like a brothel forcing its prostitutes to build a temple for chastity.Of course, Memphis could do it, but the righteous tasks he performed were just to cover up for the other idiots in the company, allowing them to reap the benefits.If those idiots were also only getting 3000 USD like Memphis, he wouldn't have cared. But they were getting 10,000 USD. Wasn't this a blatant exploitation of him? Clearly, their skills were equal, so w
At that moment, the sky outside the window suddenly darkened, and a storm, along with thunder, erupted, causing the windows to shake. Memphis was first stunned, then, feeling a premonition, looked up at the sky.There, a gigantic skull had appeared from nowhere. The skull, surrounded by swirling black clouds and lightning, seemed to stretch from a distant void, taking up half the sky.Memphis's face froze in terror. What... what the hell was that?Before he could think further, the skull opened its enormous mouth and spoke in a booming voice that seemed to pierce through his eardrums:"Lowly ants, your days of leisure are over. From today, I will make you taste my wrath. Get ready to face my fury, join my game, and make me pleased, ha ha ha ha..."As soon as the skull finished speaking, countless beams of light shot out from its eye sockets, entering the atmosphere from different angles. Memphis's eyes widened as he watched one beam head straight for him, hitting the top of his head w
Click!He locked the main door.No matter what, in an unclear situation outside, preventing other creatures from entering was the first action to take.After locking the door, he hurriedly ran back inside. Passing by the water cooler, he conveniently smashed the lock on the first aid box above with the bat, reaching in to grab all the medicine inside."Kheeze... Help me... Kheeze..."When he returned to Jonny's side, his poor colleague was already delirious, his eyes cloudy, his skin dark and bruised, thick, dark red mucus dripping from the corners of his mouth.Memphis clenched his hand tightly, his eyes reddening.In less than 30 seconds from being bitten, Jonny had nearly lost consciousness, perhaps only standing through sheer will to survive despite his body's transformation."Jonny, Jonny, you have to stay awake, your dad is waiting! Uncle Gaspar is waiting for you at home!"Jonny seemed to hear Memphis's voice, hearing the name Gaspar Byrne, his father, a miserable widower. He s
