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 ca
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
Sure enough, after adding potential points, the highest limit of the attributes increased. It seems he needs to train to bring his stats to the highest level.Also, how does he use the skill points, and what about the newly appeared Bright? 5 Bright should equal 5 zombie corpses, right?Well, let's see how it goes. He just killed 5 zombies and gained 5 exp, enough to level up. So, each zombie gives 1 exp, meaning to reach level 3, he needs to kill 20 zombies..."Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving the initial phase and leveling up.""The system offers rewards. Please choose one of the following: First, instantly increase the current level by one, the reward cannot be saved for later use. Second, receive a random skill book ranging from tier one to tier three. Third, receive a random piece of equipment ranging from tier one to tier three."As Memphis was deep in thought, the mechanical voice startled him with a mix of surprise and joy, along with significant in
Feeling a bit sentimental, Memphis pulled out his backpack and stuffed all the found items inside. After some thought, he searched through 5 of his colleagues' wallets, hoping to have something to hand over if he met their families.He also took Hughie's coat, a long and thick one, perfect for protection.Using Miley Cramer's skirt to wrap his hand and Jonny Byrne's remaining cap, Memphis finally covered himself completely.He looked around the office one last time, seeing the rotting corpses of his comrades, quietly mumbling:"Sorry... I will avenge you all..."He turned towards the door, a determined plan forming in his mind.But first, he had to escape this building.Memphis's office was located at the end of the hallway on the third floor of the building. To reach the staircase on the other side, he had to pass by the secretary's office, the director's office, the second office, and then the separate security room along the hallway, before finally reaching the emergency exit stair
Looking at the attribute table, Memphis understood a bit more. It turned out his experience gained was proportional to the monster's level. So, the stronger the zombie he killed, the greater the benefits, and there was a chance of loot drops!The breakthrough point increased to 11%, but he still didn't know its use.Taking a deep breath, Memphis cautiously stepped forward, his eyes constantly scanning for information on zombies, ready to respond quickly.Next to his office was the secretary's room. Holding the bat in one hand, Memphis carefully turned the lock with the other. He wanted to see if Amanda was still human or had turned into a zombie.If she is human, Memphis thought, he would try to investigate her situation a bit. If she is a zombie, he wouldn't mind giving her a whack to gain some experience points.Click, click...Click, click, click...The door suddenly opened, and Memphis's body tensed into a defensive stance. However, after observing, there was no one inside. Maybe
