Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 709:
Each time an urn was set down, the name and background of the fallen hero was read aloud, their deeds recounted, and their dreams and aspirations remembered. It was as if their life stories were being replayed, allowing them to merge into the historical narrative and stir the collective emotions of those gathered.What does it mean to die?Death is not simply the cessation of breath, the stopping of a heartbeat, or the halting of blood flow and neural activity.People only truly die when they are erased completely—when their names are forgotten, their faces fade, and their stories are no longer told.People only die when they are no longer remembered.As long as someone remembers them, they continue to live on in the hearts of the living, becoming part of their memories, their souls, and their consciousness.The immortal."Raymond Lee... my brother..."Xander Palmer and Travis Tate stood in a corner, gazing at the distant stone monument and the beaming photograph of their fallen comra

Shaina Palmer was diligent and punctual. Having learned Memphis's schedule, she would arrive precisely at 5:40 to start breakfast preparations.The sound of her opening the door was his unofficial alarm for ending his lazy nap.Memphis finally couldn’t afford to be lazy anymore. After grumbling and cursing under his breath for a good few seconds, he reluctantly crawled out of bed and headed into the bathroom.One person busy with cooking, another occupied with personal hygiene.Soaking in hot water in the morning was an excellent way to start the day. Once he slipped into the tub, Memphis lazily snapped his fingers, summoning an Ice Minion. The creature’s single eye on its forehead blinked open as it clo

Big Black Dog's Villa.The moment Memphis appeared, the massive dog, as large as a raging buffalo, lying sprawled out lazily, opened its round eyes to glance at him. After sniffing the air and confirming the visitor was a familiar figure, it let out a long yawn and shut its eyes again.Lying next to the mutated chili plant was warm, cozy, and utterly delightful.Memphis cast his gaze toward the chili plant. Three unripe chilies, six blossoms, and thousands of leaves adorned it. The mutated chili plant had grown to a height of 1.5 meters, its base as thick as an adult's wrist. With nine robust branches sprouting countless smaller ones and roots burrowing into a pit of decaying zombies, the plant appeared strong and thriving.The three ripe chilies stored in the metal container were still unused. Memphis hadn’t yet decided who would benefit from them next.After studying the chili plant, he turned to Big Black Dog and asked: “Woof woof woof…""Big Black Dog, the Grieving River has a ver

Memphis released five levels of "Dominance Aura" at the fourth tier, suppressing the chaos below for a continuous ten seconds before gradually retracting it. The logistics officer then resumed reading aloud:"Company Commander of the Second Company: Allan Powell.""Company Commander of the Third Company: Gemma Pryor.""Company Commander of the Fourth Company: Damon Miller."A total of four company commanders were named, and the military officers below finally snapped back to attention.This was too much of a shock.Wylie, who had previously been the Vice Company Commander and the third-highest-ranking individual in Hope Township, was now unable to ascend to Deputy Corps Commander or maintain his previous position. Meanwhile, soldier Lazarus had leapt forward, skipping directly from Squad Leader to Second Deputy Corps Commander, replacing Wylie's former role.Truly, it was cruel for some, yet joyous for others.Another soldier, Damon, also made a significant leap, going from Reserve Sq

For several long seconds, Wylie’s hand clenched into a tight fist as he muttered under his breath:"My 1st Battalion has eight squads—far more than any other battalion. Our forces are unparalleled in strength. This is a Deputy Commander’s rank!""The Gossamer Heights Gang will soon be established—that’s my shadow authority.""I haven’t been demoted... I haven’t been demoted... I haven’t been demoted... I still have my chances... I’ll climb higher soon..."After everyone had finished reading through the documents, no one voiced any objections.It wasn’t because there were no issues with the list&mda

Never before had Allan felt such bitterness toward his younger brother. For the first time, he seriously considered stripping the boy of his "vice squad leader" title.The other squad leaders also sat with heavy hearts as they scanned their lists. If a subordinate misstepped, the leader bore twice the punishment. Even if they personally did nothing wrong, they were still fined. This naturally bred resentment, but what could they do? Protest? Haha...Anyone who dared oppose penalties for corruption would face universal backlash. At that point, they might as well resign their positions and prepare for menial work like foraging wild vegetables or raising rodents.The only silver lining was that this round of punishments was semi-private. The primary damage was financial rather
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 716:
Without legitimacy, everything devolves into farce, and nothing meaningful can be accomplished.A classic question about the theory of rectification of names is: "Why study so much?"In the working world, capability is crucial, but a university degree is equally important.Without a degree, there is no proof of training, no indication of having undergone rigorous education or societal certification. As a result, no one would entrust you with significant responsibilities, as even governmental positions require educational qualifications to determine salary grades and benefits.On the other hand, possessing a university degree—even an average one from a mediocre institution—grants eligibility to apply for specialized positions. It provides an official title as a "graduate.” shielding against doubts or challenges.This demonstrates the importance of legitimacy.The bustling trade in fake diplomas exists not by chance. People are purchasing not knowledge but status, qualifications, existe

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…”“

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.“
