2025-01-09 02:01:08The five-story mansion was located near the center of Crimson Flame Town. By all accounts, Memphis wasn’t keen on mounting a rescue operation immediately—it wouldn’t hurt to leave them for another day or two. However, his team lacked anyone from Crimson Flame itself. Without a local guide, navigating the area was bound to be challenging. Rescuing the people inside would be both convenient and achieve the goal of acquiring crucial information.
In any operation, intelligence was the most vital asset. Gaining someone knowledgeable about this area would save them a lot of effort.
The communications team member calculated briefly before responding firmly: “Approximately 3,700 meters to the southwest, passing through P5 Street, G7 Street, and HSK13 Road. However, HSK13 is severely blocked, so we’ll need to div

Silence blanketed the third floor of the mansion, the air thick with despair where hope had briefly flourished. The elderly man’s lips twitched as if on the verge of a stroke. Meanwhile, the others froze, their faces drained of color.The women, in particular, seemed on the verge of tears. Bandits, known for their notorious tendencies, were infamous for two things: killing and assaulting.Encountering bandits in the apocalypse was a fate arguably worse than facing zombies.After about ten seconds of stunned silence, the old man finally managed to take several deep breaths before gritting his teeth to ask,"What... what do you want?"Memphis glanced around the room and replied nonchalantly,"I’m looking for a local who knows the population of this area well."At his words, the group fell into silence again, none willing to volunteer for a bandit.A long pause ensued before one of the twin sisters hesitantly stammered,"I... I can help you... but you must promise us..."Memphis raised a

Ten minutes later, the BTR-60 arrived at the front of the villa.The zombies nearby, upon hearing the noise, sluggishly turned around before howling mournfully. One by one, they lunged at the armored vehicle. However, there were only about a hundred of them, which posed no challenge to the ten Dagger team members. After two minutes of fighting, all the zombies in the area, along with those attracted by the noise, had been exterminated.Memphis stood on the upper floor, looking down at the fight below without lifting a finger.Nurturing others ultimately served the purpose of saving himself a few potential points.Once the battle concluded, several Dagger members were assigned to stand guard in all directions while o

While waiting for the Dagger team members to investigate the number of hidden Strength Types, Memphis turned to Rosa and asked: “Do you know of any places where women might gather—specifically pregnant women?"Rosa, still weak and exhausted from several days of starvation, thought for a moment before answering honestly: “I'm not entirely sure, but Dr. Lovez and Dr. Myers run a large clinic not far from here. My sister-in-law went there for her prenatal checkups."Memphis's eyes lit up. "Of course.” he thought. He had completely overlooked the obvious—hospitals and clinics would be the first places to check for pregnant women, especially since the apocalypse struck during working hours, so they were likely open.A few minutes later, the radio crackled with a report: the team had located four Power1s and one Power2 in the residential complex. However, many rooms were tightly sealed, with curtains drawn, making it impossible for the drones to scan effectively.Memphis wasn’t overly disap

The sound of water splashing echoed inside a fashion store turned makeshift hideout. While Rosa bathed in the store's restroom, Memphis wasn’t idle. He laid out a spread of food on the table and began eating with gusto.His recovery stat, bolstered by the meat of a level-18 mutant fish, had reached a solid 45 points. At this rate, he was recovering 1 stamina and 1 intelligence every 2 minutes, and if he relaxed and closed his eyes, it would improve to 1 recovery every 40 seconds. This was an incredible rate."If only my recovery stat hit 60 points.” he muttered between bites. "I could sustain mid-level combat indefinitely without worrying about running out of potential. I wonder what kind of recovery-class skill my profession will unlock..."As Memphis continued

After ten minutes of observation, his brows furrowed deeply.There wasn’t a single rat or cockroach in sight."Could this really be the target...?"He stepped back about a kilometer and spoke into his radio in a low voice: “Deploy drones to the intersection of LB1 and HG Streets."Following his command, three drones buzzed into the air. Through the radio, Memphis issued several instructions before leaping backward, retreating further.No sane person would provoke a hornet’s nest and remain nearby to get stung.Well, that wasn’t entirely true. At Hope Town, there was that one

When direct questioning didn’t work, she resorted to provoking Memphis, needling him with a statement so absurd it would compel him to counter with his knowledge.Through this, she could glean more about the force that had terrorized the Mộc family for the past 24 days.She assumed Memphis was trying to draw her attention with his aloof and cool demeanor. Thus, she struck at his apparent need to showcase himself, creating an opportunity for him to display his knowledge while she quietly absorbed it for free.For the privileged, wealth isn’t solely about material possessions or money. Material wealth is fleeting, intellectual wealth endures. Only by wielding knowledge effectively can successive generations maintain their social standing and prosperity.

Before them, waves of frost and tiny snowflakes formed and solidified rapidly. The external spiritual force clashing against the Ice Armor caused it to tremble faintly, depleting four points of Memphis's intelligence. Nevertheless, it absorbed the attack entirely.The assault wasn’t particularly strong, even if it had landed, it wouldn’t have caused significant harm.A few seconds later, the mournful wailing finally reached their location. Memphis, long accustomed to the eerie and deranged cadence of such sounds, remained unfazed. Rosa, on the other hand, turned pale as a sheet, her eyes wide with terror as if she had encountered the most horrifying thing in her life.The attack subsided after about two seconds. The Ice Armor dissipated, leaving behind faint trac

The northernmost region of Renaissance County, Cloudy Town.Allan stood on an elevated vantage point in Zone C, his eyes fixed on Zone B, his expression growing heavier by the moment.The boundary wall had thinned to just 33 meters—a reduction of 8 meters after a single day of rest. If this trend continued, in four days, the zombies from Dragon Light County would breach the defenses.Not that four days were needed; the zombies were already infiltrating. In just two hours since morning, Allan had tallied 1,200 zombies successfully crossing the wall, including one terrifying F2 Level 29 mutant. Across all of Renaissance, no one could stand against such a creature—it would kill anyone who dared confront it in an instant.At that moment, the radio clipped to his waist crackled with a signal."Captain, we've lost contact with Anton Powell's team."Hearing this, Allan's pupils contracted sharply.Anton, eager to redeem himself for his prior misdeeds involving embezzlement, had volunteered t

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,
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

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

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

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.“
