On the eastern shore, standing amidst the teeming crowd, Verne quietly swallowed hard and muttered a few words of "to the death" in unison, while the expressions of most of the other leaders were exceedingly grim. The effect of the earlier propaganda compared to the current one was vastly different—even their own soldiers were beginning to waver.

Memphis, standing at the forefront, waited for the fervent shouting to subside before raising his voice again through the loudspeaker:

"We have poured all our efforts and abilities into proving to you that we are entirely innocent. Everyone has seen that we are incapable of carrying out any acts of terrorism, let alone possessing the motive to commit such despicable deeds."

"Yet! The harder we try to prove ourselves, the more some among you strive to deny it, the more they seek to reject this truth. The more we wish for peaceful negotiations and cooperation, the more these people grow aggressive and belligerent, determined to block any attemp

    Xenon let out a weary, melancholic sigh. If he had been more resolute in mediating, more adamant in opposing the attack, things wouldn’t have reached this irreparable point.Starla watched as the four fireballs gradually faded. A faint ripple of emotion stirred within her. Closing her eyes for a few seconds, she turned and walked away, no longer concerned about what might happen next.Wallflower’s hands clenched and released, clenched and released again, her mood shifting with each passing second. Her crimson lips trembled slightly before she bit down gently, letting out a cold hum and muttering something under her breath. It was unclear what she saw or what she was cursing.Memphis surveyed the desolation before him, the corners of his lips curving into a cold smile. Raising his hand to the sky, he called out loudly:"Squads 3 and 5, stay behind to hold the position. All remaining forces, retreat immediately!"Having achieved all his objectives without expending significant resources

    Before the apocalypse, the country of T had once resorted to tanks to suppress tens of thousands of student protesters—students who were easily swayed by lofty ideals, fighting without fear until their deaths. The residents of Hope Town now mirrored this, wholly chasing after the "hope" being proclaimed and discarding the rule of law. Step by step, they’d forgotten the order of the past, and anyone challenging it would face violent resistance.With the apocalypse looming, conditions for this manipulation became even easier to meet, and the environment for cultivating rebellion even more favorable. Renaissance Base, with its mere thousand residents, had more than enough resources to use as bait in the early stages, to train a group of people willing to fight to madness. The absence of government intervention allowed this plan to progress smoothly.And now, over a thousand residents on the western bank of Grieving River were fully brainwashed, entirely turned against the government, and

    The final conclusion received unanimous approval. The reason for not deploying all forces was the need to address other battlefields.In the north, at Cloudy town, seventy percent of the zombies had been drawn to the outskirts of Sunny Hills village. The Manipulation Type buried beneath the hills was increasingly dominant in attracting forces to its cause.The massive zombie horde at Dragon Light County in Province NO showed no signs of being troubled. It continued to mobilize zombies bit by bit, infiltrating past the boundary wall and encroaching on Renaissance territory. It seemed determined not to miss this "juicy prey.” showing no concern for sacrificing troops unnecessarily.According to the latest intelligence from scouts, only 43 meters of the boundary wall rema

    While Hope Town was holding its meeting, the leadership of Lakeside District Base was similarly convening to determine their future course of action.With attendance limited to individuals of deputy battalion commander rank and above, it was a closed meeting of the true upper echelon.After resolving the thorny issue of how to handle relations with Hope Town, they shifted their discussion to the situation involving the zombie hordes."At Pure Essence City, all three bridges show signs of being under attack by zombie hordes. I’m eighty percent certain that by 8 a.m. tomorrow, a horde of 70,000 zombies from Pure Essence City will assault Bridge A-0.""In Whiskey District, the 100,000-strong zombie horde surrounding Battalion 101’s area is extremely powerful and ferocious. They cannot be lured away, and any provocation leads to them unleashing their full force. With our current resources, breaking through will be extremely challenging, requiring heavy sacrifices to achieve, if it's even

    Sacrificing the short term for the long term, avoiding strength and targeting weakness—these were fundamental principles. Yet articulating them wasn’t so simple. Murphy, in the end, wasn’t merely a power-hungry bureaucrat.With the two leading figures of both the military and civilian sectors supporting this plan, the others also expressed their agreement one after another.Destroying the bridge, though regrettable, serves no purpose anymore. Previously, there was a plan to use these three bridges to attack Pure Essence City and alleviate some of the pressure on Harbor Line County. But now? Forget it. Everyone’s scrambling to save their own skin and barely managing at that.With this decision essentially approved, Starla, who had been silently sitting

    To the north, Allan Powell would lead a team of 80 regular soldiers and 50 reserve troops, equipped with heavy weaponry including one M113 armored vehicle, one BTR-60 armored vehicle, 10 RPG-2 anti-tank launchers, two RPG-7 launchers, a DShK heavy machine gun with 500 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition, and an unlimited supply of assorted 7.62mm firearms and ammunition.Joining Allan were Tobin and Lena. The total of 130 individuals under their command consisted of team members who had recently acquired long-range offensive skill manuals. Their mission was to train these members in the 3-1 tactical system. This system assigned three individuals to each small unit: one for reconnaissance and target identification, and two for precise targeting and elimination. The roles rotated continuously, ensuring no overlapping attacks within the unit and no discrepancies with other units, thus minimizing resource wastage.On the Cloudy battlefield, the Manipulate pig was gagged with a corn cob, unable to

    Memphis retracted his pressure, waved a hand nonchalantly, and said:"Director Snyder, report."Leonidas Snyder, appointed as the director of Iron Stone Town's supply department, let out a restrained sigh and respectfully replied:"Leader, this is Linda Snyder, and this is Wendy Duffy. Following your orders, I’ve gathered 68 individuals willing to fight, dividing them into two squads. I’ve already sent you the detailed list of their abilities and levels."Memphis gave a calm nod of understanding, then glanced at the two standing beside him. Linda, a young woman around 21 or 22, bore a resemblance to Leonidas. She was charmingly pretty. Wendy, a burly man of about 30, exuded an aura of resolute bravery, with an especially direct and intense gaze. Memphis judged him to be an excellent candidate for a commander."At least they aren’t all blacksmiths..."Iron Stone Town was renowned for its smithing, and if everyone only knew how to forge without fighting, this community would have less i

    Just yesterday, over a dozen residents from Hope Town, despite having endured countless hardships and learning the value of peace, still dared to stand against order. How could Memphis be assured that the residents of Iron Stone Town would stay compliant?The extreme protest in Rutted Track yesterday was a nightmare Memphis had no intention of repeating. He needed to prepare from the smallest steps to block similar schemes in the future. The most straightforward and upright method? Throw those eager to join into the flames of war until they were thoroughly tempered."Understand the pain and harshness of war? Understood, haven’t you? Then live sensibly from now on."This was just one reason why he kept the residents of Iron Stone Town in their original location. Another

    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

    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,

    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

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.

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.“
