Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 680:
Stay up all night without worrying about waking up early for labor, rest all day without lifting a finger, and spend money without earning it first. What was left to wait for? Burn it all tonight! Opportunities like this didn’t come often—it was time to spend, and spend big."I love you, Commander Jackman!""Commander Jackman, take this ration voucher for 100 grams!""Commander Jackman forever!""Take these acceleration boots!""Aaaaaa...""Up, up, up!"Memphis had agreed to cooperate with Lionel in creating an ideal setting for this "cash-in" operation—a move with immense benefits and minimal losses.Firstly, announcing this plan guaranteed Memphis 50% of tonight’s profits. Though he personally had no use for war contributions, others needed them desperately. By strategically depleting the contributions of others, he would further bind them to his influence, forcing them to strive harder to earn the resources necessary to utilize the services within his sphere of control.This strate
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 681:
Once the air of tension had fully dissipated, Memphis casually pushed the stack of documents aside and picked up an experience crystal, examining it closely.As always, the leader’s share was calculated first. Lionel, ever efficient, had tallied Memphis’s portion of resources immediately after the conclusion of the campaign.Before him lay:9,213 experience crystals,18 potential points,22 random item cards,1 fourth-tier item card,5 third-tier item cards.These included battlefield rewards from Iron Stone, a share of the 25% tribute pool for high-ranking personnel, rental income from weapons and gear, and resources he had personally acquired during combat.“Experience crystals… What exactly do they contain? Killing zombies drops all sorts of items—are these things pre-existing within their bodies? Or is their life force connected to some kind of marketplace, which opens upon their death? And why must one kill to unlock this connection? Could there be another principle at work? Perh

Memphis lightly waved his hand, summoning a palm-sized chunk of ice.This ice was exceptionally solid, with formidable durability. It was far sturdier than ordinary ice, capable of piercing the wooden table before him with ease. Even a 7.62mm handgun would struggle to leave a significant mark.When he ceased maintaining Ice Manipulation, the supernatural energy dissipated, yet the ice in his hand remained cold and intact, not melting in the slightest.Indeed, it would "never" melt. Without substantial external force, it would persist indefinitely unless exposed to temperatures above 99 degrees Celsius or disrupted by other supernatural energies.This piece of ice had essentially become a pebble.
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 683:
Sarah, who used to frequent this room, hadn’t been seen lingering around lately. Perhaps she had grown tired of Memphis—or maybe of Shaina.Or perhaps both.Memphis’s gaze lingered momentarily on the faintly flushed, fair skin of the woman before him. He swallowed discreetly before raising a hand to cover his mouth, coughing lightly as he casually asked:"Why aren’t you joining the festivities?"Shaina slowly got up from the floor, obediently standing to one side, and shook her head."I don’t want to."Her answer left Memphis feeling inexplicably weary.&
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 684:
The moon climbed high and eventually descended again. The sun, which had hidden itself the previous evening, peeked out once more the next morning. The grand festival reached its finale, and everyone returned to their homes. Thus, the night of victory came to a harmonious close.The wind from the Grieving River swept through, scattering the mist and casting waves of pure white vapor across the western bank, enveloping the architecture of Hope Town. There was a chill, a touch of haziness, and an air of purity. Serenity and peace permeated every corner.Memphis's eyelids stirred gently before opening to take in the surreal, dreamlike view outside the window. Feeling the steady rhythm of life’s breath rising and falling, he almost believed he was still dreaming.Was this the apocalypse?Yes, it was. Day 23."I'm starving..."The grand feast from the night before hadn’t completely satisfied Memphis. Early in the morning, his hunger had grown so intense that he felt like he might drop dead
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 685:
The Hope Code, following the Lakeside assassin incident targeting the town’s residents, became further ingrained in everyone’s consciousness. Memphis's clever handling of the situation turned the event into a stepping stone to strengthen the voice of the enforcement team. Although their weapons were downgraded from blades to batons, their tasks only became easier, not harder.According to information sent by Amanda, two small gangs have clandestinely formed: the Black Bear gang and the Heavenly Wolf gang. Both operate extremely covertly, controlling illegal activities such as loan sharking, low-level prostitution, protection rackets for eateries, resolving disputes with violence, trading illicit system resources, and even trafficking drugs.From a higher perspective, these activities are distasteful. But putting oneself in the shoes of a low-level survivor with little wealth or merit points, these services become essential.The maids provided by the base are undoubtedly beautiful, fra
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 686:
A more sophisticated and challenging variation involves collusion among combat team members, drone operators, squad leaders, and personnel from the supply division. They could edit out incriminating footage from video segments during the theft, only submitting edited clips for Memphis’s review, thereby successfully stealing a significant quantity of energy crystals.However, this scenario is highly unlikely. Memphis firmly believed that no one in the organization wielded enough influence to deceive the entire system, not even himself. Moreover, he trusted that no one dared "betray" him in such a manner, especially not Lionel, the head of the supply division.Of all people, Lionel understood Memphis’s temperament best. The moment corruption was uncovered—haha…
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 687:
"Suppose the 'black sheep' is exposed, but instead of admitting guilt, they retaliate, accusing: 'My squad leader forced me to steal crystals for him or her. If I didn’t comply, I’d be killed. I was coerced. I’m innocent.'""Who could vindicate these three? Without Insight to discern the truth, who truly understands people? Haha...""As the leader of Hope Town, what should I do? Execute these three as an example, or execute the 'black sheep' to cover it up, or simply ignore it?""Regardless of the decision, the largest stain will inevitably fall on Hope Town’s leader—Memphis.""Mutual accusations and denunciations—that’s stage two."Latest Chapter
Chapter 762:
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
Chapter 761:
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
Chapter 759:
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
Chapter 757:
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…”“
Chapter 756:
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.“
