2024-10-29 19:42:56Looking 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 she was in the director's office, or perhaps she had been eaten somewhere else.
He quickly closed the secretary's office door and quietly stepped over to the adjacent director's office.
The door was tightly shut, with no bloodstains outside or any signs of scratching. Perhaps these two were still alive.
Memphis pressed his ear against the door, listening carefully. The director's office often hosted shady activities, so it was well soundproofed. Nevertheless, he could still hear screams mixed with disgusting wheezing sounds.
"There are people, and there are zombies, more than one. What kind of situation is this?"
Memphis wondered silently, but since there were still living people, he didn't intend to leave them.
He knocked three times on the wooden door. Inside, everything suddenly fell silent, followed by an explosion of cries for help and the wheezing sounds approaching the door.
He immediately focused, turned the doorknob, and gently pulled it open, revealing the scene inside.
Behind the largest desk, Director Lionel and Secretary Amanda were desperately defending themselves. The fat director sat in a chair, his legs pushing against the desk like a barrier to prevent the three zombies from advancing. Sweat poured from his chubby face like a waterfall. Amanda, beside him, wielded a black baseball bat, fiercely jabbing at the zombies' faces to keep them from climbing onto the desk.
The two coordinated relatively well, but they were nearly exhausted. When they saw Memphis, they cried out as if grasping at a lifeline:
"Save us..."
In front of them were three zombies, one of which was abnormally tall. It was his creditor, the loan shark, who was ready to give him a few punches at any moment, Kieron Leyton. Memphis didn't need to see his face to recognize him. That broad back haunted him every month for the 1500 USD debt.
Two other zombies, emaciated with pus-covered faces and white teeth, were his former colleagues. They looked extremely terrifying!
"Infectious form level 1 and level 2? Perfect!"
Memphis glanced at the two zombies, no longer feeling as repulsed or terrified. Instead, he felt a bit of excitement and thrill. These were perfect targets for leveling up.
Seeing the two zombies approaching, Memphis braced his leg against the door, allowing it to open just wide enough for one person to pass through. He then raised his bat, ready to strike.
Zombies had no intelligence, the two squeezed through the narrow opening. Before they could bite, Memphis swung his bat, shattering the level 2 zombie's head.
The remaining zombie hissed, clawing at Memphis's foot. He quickly pulled his foot back, swung the door wide open, and with a side swing, broke the zombie's neck. Its eyes popped out, and it was utterly dead.
Seeing Memphis easily defeat the disgusting zombies, Lionel and Amanda's hope soared.
Memphis kicked aside the zombie blocking his path and stepped into the director's office, closing the door behind him.
The recent fight hadn't caused much noise, but the two people's screaming was truly too loud. He worried that zombies outside might be attracted.
With a quick glance, Memphis immediately recalled the details of the remaining three zombies.
"One level 1, one level 2, one level 5..."
Memphis looked at the back of the tall zombie Elon Leyton, nearly 2 meters high, and couldn't help but swallow hard. He was only 1.7 meters tall, and even if he wanted to hit it, he couldn't reach its head.
Seeing that Elon Leyton seemed to be turning around due to the noise of the fight, Memphis hurriedly shouted:
"You two, distract it, create an opening so I can strike."
Lionel and Amanda, not as foolish as Memphis often thought, immediately understood his intention. They both screamed loudly, with Amanda even striking Kieron's arm with a baseball bat, scraping off a piece of skin.
Kieron was indeed distracted, reaching out wildly to scratching and clawing, Lionel immediately felt the increased pressure, his knees buckling, almost collapsing.
Memphis didn't waste any time, leaping forward, and without hesitation, swung his bat, smashing the level 2 zombie's head.
Sensing the allure of fresh meat, Kieron suddenly turned and swiped, his long arm lashing towards Memphis's head.
Having anticipated this, Memphis ducked in advance, the baseball bat in his hand precisely striking Kieron's right knee.
Thwack!
The crisp sound of impact echoed, the bat bounced back, and Kieron's knee buckled slightly. As Kieron's arm came down, Memphis quickly swung his bat to block.
Thud!
Kieron's immense strength made Memphis's hand ache, nearly causing him to lose his grip on the bat. He immediately rolled, using his agility to get behind Kieron, and struck again, precisely on Kieron's right knee.
Crack!
Under Memphis's two consecutive full-force strikes, Kieron's knee shattered, and his massive body suddenly toppled to one side.
Memphis didn't hesitate, rushing forward and swinging his bat twice more at Kieron's nape, smashing his skull, spraying brain matter and dark blood all over the floor.
Suddenly, a silver card about the size of a palm fell beside Kieron's body.
Memphis's luck wasn't bad, Kieron had fallen face down. If he had fallen backward, his hands might still have been mobile, making it much harder to kill him.

He reached for the card but didn't examine it immediately, instead swinging his bat again to brutally smash the head of the dumb level 1 zombie still hissing in a daze.With that, the fight ended, and he couldn't help but exhale. Good, he had only spent 2 stamina points and gained 11 experience. Including before, his experience bar was now 15/20.Memphis turned to look at Lionel and Amanda, who still bore expressions of fear and bewilderment, and calmly said:"Chairman Hester, I want to resign."In the blood-soaked room, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.This was something Memphis had wanted to say for years.Lionel, who initially intended to praise Memphis out of habit, was taken aback when he heard this, his mouth twitching. He suppressed his anger and quickly put on a sincere smile:"Memphis, you saved our lives, whatever you say goes. Isn't that right, Amanda?"Lionel, being the director of a scam company, was extremely cunning and shameless. In that brief moment, he had though

After reaching a mutual understanding, Memphis immediately said:"Prepare yourselves, gather all the food and drinks, and wear more clothes to protect yourselves. As for other useless things, I suggest not taking them."To Memphis, things like money or gold were relatively useless at the moment and would only add weight.Lionel and Amanda both nodded, hesitantly agreeing. They first checked their phones, feeling even more anxious when they saw the signal bars were dead.Ignoring them as they packed, Memphis moved towards the door, peeking through the peephole.It was impossible to see inside from the outside, but from the inside, he could easily see out.Outside, there were indeed zombies attracted to the noise. Moreover, there were more than one."Infectious form level 1, can turn living beings into the same kind.""Infectious form level 2, can turn living beings into the same kind."Relying on his scouting vision, Memphis confirmed that the two zombies were relatively normal. They w

Bang! Bang! Bang!The door shook continuously, then with a crack, it burst open, the lock unable to withstand the zombie's monstrous strength.A tall zombie with a rotten, slimy face stepped out of the room."Aaah... Mmm mmm..."Amanda couldn't help but scream in horror, immediately being silenced by Lionel beside her.Though Lionel was equally terrified, he feared attracting more zombies even more.This tall zombie seemed to be Devlin Leyton, Kieron Leyton's brother. It hissed threateningly, its heavy footsteps moving towards Memphis and the others."Its speed isn't too high, but its monstrous strength is immense!"Memphis quickly assessed the situation. As the zombie's claw came down, he used his superior speed to dodge, gripping the machete and slashing upwards, striking its arm joint.Crack!The zombie's claw was severed on the spot.The zombie didn't feel any pain and swung its remaining hand towards Memphis's head. He quickly crouched, rolled through its legs, and moved behind i

Having made their decision, the three of them lined up and left, heading straight for the stairwell. Memphis took the lead, Amanda in the middle, and the portly Lionel brought up the rear, his hand trembling as he gripped the baseball bat.Kheeze… Kheeze…At the staircase landing between the 3rd and 2nd floors, two zombies were kneeling, gnawing on a body. Hearing the footsteps of the three people coming down, one of them immediately turned its head and then crawled over."Infectious form level 2, can turn living beings into the same kind.""Infectious form level 2, can turn living beings into the same kind."Just two level 2 zombies. Memphis swung his sword, shattering the skull of the crawling zombie, then casually chopped off the head of the other one still engrossed in eating.His experience points had risen to 12/40.He turned to Lionel and Amanda:"If you have the courage to face them, you can gain greater power. These zombies are disgusting and dangerous, but they're also relat

Right at this moment, a jet-black baseball bat struck, knocking that arm aside.It was none other than Amanda Owens, who appeared to be the most frail and harmless.At the critical moment, she stood up, wielding the bat towards the strongest zombie.Memphis seized the opportunity, conjuring a second ice spear in his hand, gritting his teeth as he plunged it into the eye socket of the large-handed zombie, piercing through its skull.One fatal move."Kheeze... Kheeze..."The two newly emerged zombies were not frightened by their comrade's death, continuing to crawl up, their large mouths gaping like blood basins ready to bite.Memphis had a chance to catch his breath, quickly pulling the ice spear out of the large-handed zombie's eye socket, and thrusting it straight into the mouth of an approaching zombie.At the same time, Amanda swung the baseball bat, hitting the top of the other zombie's head with a "bop" flattening it.The two level 1 and level 2 zombies were killed before they co

Watching Amanda use her skill and excitedly explaining, Lionel hurriedly stammered:"Can... Can you recover me too? I'm so tired, only 2 stamina points left..."He had spent half an hour in the office fighting off 3 or 4 zombies and was nearly exhausted.Amanda awkwardly said:"It will be 5 more minutes before I can use it again."Memphis looked at him for a moment, then said:"Just wait a bit. This time she served me, next time it will be your turn."His words were somewhat strange, causing all three to fall into a brief silence. Memphis coughed and led the way down:"Let's go, you two need to be a bit more careful."Lionel and Amanda shook off their random thoughts and quickly followed Memphis.As soon as they exited the emergency stairs, a level 2 zombie approached.Memphis casually slashed it, then calmly ordered:"Watch the situation behind us, keep me informed, I'll lead the way.""Got it!"The outdoor parking lot was on the left side. Memphis glanced over and immediately saw a

The big-handed zombie let out a cry, its other hand swatting over, immediately deflecting the ice spear, causing it to only pierce its right shoulder.But that was enough for Memphis. He immediately spent a point of intellect, shooting cold air into the wound, freezing the zombie's shoulder quickly, then with a pop, it shattered into small pieces, leaving half its body in fragments.Even so, it didn't die, nor did it feel pain, letting out a loud cry, its swollen arm grabbing the ice spear, trying to pull Memphis closer.Memphis immediately let go, spending another point of intellect to create an ice hammer, decisively smashing it into its head.Bop!The heavy ice hammer crushed the zombie's head into pulp, and it immediately fell to the side, unable to even groan.Only then did the remaining three zombies notice the commotion, all simultaneously shuffling over, reaching out their monstrous claws towards Memphis.6 seconds to maintain the skill.Memphis's head was a bit dizzy, the ice

Normally, humanity appreciated stationary zombie hordes because they could lure small groups away, picking them off gradually. The horde’s numbers would dwindle, and the pressure on the humans would be minimal—they could drag it out as long as they needed. But here, things were different. Their primary goal was to lure the entire horde away to seize the weapons depot, not to endure relentless face-offs like this.They no longer had enough artillery shells to target the horde’s center and eliminate its core forces. This left the army with only one option: close-quarters combat. Asymmetric warfare remained asymmetric from beginning to end.Out of 100,000 zombies, they had managed to kill about 15,000 since morning, losing 31 soldiers in the process. Their ammunition reserves were running dangerously low. Meanwhile, the Soul Suppression emitted by the 100,000-strong zombie horde was both powerful and far-reaching, making prolonged resistance impossible. The weaker soldiers were already d

Warren followed with Mysterious Turtle Saves The World, erasing 80% of his physical damage and tripling his recovery rate until all his injuries were healed.Both Sasha and Warren had recently consumed a bounty of experience crystals, reaching level 10. Their third-tier skills, enhanced to +3, made their healing abilities truly formidable.Seeing that his brother was out of danger, Memphis felt a fleeting sense of relief, though it was soon replaced by an unexpected pang of envy.He feared death.

This was the fourth-tier skill Counterturn, enhanced with single-strike explosive force, carrying 85% of the original power Memphis had personally charged into it.Level 4 equipment, when used wisely, could produce strategic effects capable of influencing large-scale battles. But only if used correctly.Using a Level 4 Demon Slayer gun on humans would be idiotic. Forcing someone to strip with a Level 4 Seal Ring? Even more idiotic. Swallowing a Level 4 Gluttony Prison to escape an enemy? Madness. Drinking a Level 4 Mutant Potion to activate its Silence effect during a battle you’re commanding? Utter lunacy.Similarly, the Level 4 Mimic Ring required careful selection of skills for specific situations. It wasn’t about copying the strongest skill and unleashing it indiscriminately—that was brute-force fighting.

Why didn’t humanity retreat to create distance and dodge these attacks? Because if everyone retreated, who would hold the line? The fortifications painstakingly built could not simply be abandoned.Humanity was clever, but the zombies were learning too. After Memphis issued the order to fall back, maintaining distance, the level 29 M2 went berserk, unleashing wide-area Soul Suppression attacks across the entire battlefield. Even without clear targets, it roared relentlessly, targeting the peripheral zones of the low-level zombie horde under attack.This carpet-bombing tactic created a situation where assault soldiers endured continuous shockwaves. Even if they weren’t directly targeted, the residual effects depleted their energy pointlessly, while the "useless" survivors remained untouched.It was a disaster. Realizing the beast couldn’t be easily deceived, Memphis had no choice but to deploy forces closer to the battlefield again, using human lives as shields for the troops. The situ

However, the current distance was still insufficient. From the center of the zombie horde to the human frontlines was over three kilometers. When the Soul Suppression wave struck the 300 people present, it caused only some pale faces and mild panic among the survivors of Iron Stone. The residents of Hope, long accustomed to such attacks, remained entirely unaffected.After this exchange of blows, with neither side sustaining any losses, Memphis drew his D.E pistol from his holster and fired two loud shots into the air. From elevated positions along both sides of the tactical trenches, hundreds of soldiers in specialized combat uniforms suddenly rose and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the surging horde of zombies below.Their positions were the closest to the frontlines, near the entrances to ten tunnels teeming with zombies. Attacking from above was most advantageous. Their combat uniforms, made from burlap soaked in zombie flesh and blood, effectively masked their human scent agai

At 7:30 a.m. on the 22nd day after the apocalypse, the first zombie stepped into Trench No. 4, officially marking the beginning of the battle on the outskirts of Iron Stone Town.The first zombie was followed by a second, then a third, then a tenth, and soon hundreds poured into the area of ten interconnected trenches. This was the opening skirmish between a horde of 70,000 zombies and nearly 600 humans.From a kilometer away, Memphis observed the battlefield through binoculars, scrutinizing each wave of zombies entering the trenches to gauge the overall situation and assess the evolutionary progress on the 22nd day of the apocalypse. This was his first encounter with a zombie horde under command since safe crystals had been distributed. Humanity had advanced significantly—but what about the zombies?Fortunately, nearly 80% of the horde remained at level 1, indicating they had not undergone comprehensive upgrades across the board.
