Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 728:
Choosing to personally lead a search mission contradicted the stability Allan typically embodied. Moreover, it directly opposed the responsibilities entrusted to him by higher-ups. Outwardly composed, Allan was undoubtedly battling a storm within.As the highest-ranking officer, Allan was responsible for the safety and welfare of nearly 100 personnel. Stepping away from his position to focus on a less critical mission jeopardized the overarching priorities of the group. This choice signaled instability.Balancing the weight of six lives against nearly a hundred, the disparity in importance was stark. Allan might argue that the hundred were safe while the six faced immediate danger, but why not delegate the task? What if Anton wasn’t among the missing?This inconsistenc
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 729:
Memphis's decision to appoint Gemma as captain of the third company, aside from assigning a woman to lead other women, stemmed primarily from her deep conviction in protecting her subordinates and her unwavering hatred of zombies.Among the senior officers, Gemma was unique. While she had not lost family to the war, she had endured the most profound psychological impact from witnessing its horrors.She hated zombies more than anyone else and loathed her own perceived weakness even more. If only her blade had been sharper, her strike more precise, that F2 Level 21 zombie might have died, and no one else would have had to. She sought revenge for Raymond Lee, Samir, and everyone else who had fallen.Memphis valued this mindset above all else. He needed Gemma to instill the same resolve and hatred for zombies in the women under her command.Women, by nature, are often more emotionally vulnerable. Whether they like it or not, they tend to cry more easily, feel more hurt, spiral into despai
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 730:
Memphis publicly punished corruption, a perfect opportunity to cut down a commander or at least suppress credibility. Yet Memphis refrained, affirming his commitment to protection.Memphis appointed two battalion leaders instead of three, willingly sidelining Wylie to elevate Lazarus, granting him command in an official capacity. He was not left as a mere figurehead—this was a testament to sincerity.Memphis entrusted Jarred with handling the Lakeside issue, while Lazarus and Jarred jointly led the military security division, affirming a promise of high-level consultation rights.Most importantly, Memphis allowed Lazarus to lead the strongest forces, the most seasoned and critical core team, through Whiskey County, where Lakeside forces were stationed—a profound gesture of trust.Even the central forces were entrusted to Lazarus, stationed at the lion’s mouth. With such faith, who could question the authenticity of his deputy commander position?Ten minutes after the drones took fligh
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 731:
For two sides to connect smoothly, a common ground, a strong conduit, was essential.A former soldier was the perfect conduit. Being appointed deputy commander of a secessionist organization made him even more suitable.This man was the only one who could earn a degree of trust from both factions."Memphis... Thank you."Lazarus muttered these heartfelt words to himself.He understood that his leader was giving him a chance to rid himself of his deepest guilt.He had been tormenting himself as a traitor. But if he could personally establish the bridge, allowing the two sides of Grieving River to re

Fifteen minutes later, as Memphis was about to pull out some dried fish to pair with chili sauce for a snack, Wylie exhaled deeply and said:"Leader, I believe we must use our most powerful firepower to destroy that obstetrics clinic as soon as possible. We need to annihilate the creature hiding inside immediately and ensure a decisive strike. There’s no need for further reconnaissance, provocation, or any attempts to capture it alive."Memphis raised an eyebrow at this and then smirked slightly before asking: “That sounds interesting, but why? We definitely need a safety lock in Crimson Flame Town."The concept of a "safety lock" had already been explained to Wylie by Jarred. Memphis didn’t mind, as the idea was no longer a heavily guarded secret. One of the three top leaders besides himself should be in the loop to effectively carry out their mission of locating such entities.While Wylie’s decision aligned closely with his own plans, Memphis wanted more. He needed to see if the you

"Let’s assume they only faint and don’t die. But as per your assumption, if that creature suddenly awakens its ability to control zombies and successfully forms a horde, what are the odds that we can still conduct a rescue mission?""How long will those starving people on the verge of death have to wait? And what will their fates ultimately be?"Memphis’s barrage of questions left Wylie speechless.This…He… he had focused too much on solving the immediate problem and indeed came up with a perfect solution. But he completely neglected the surrounding context, the external consequences if the problem wasn’t tightly controlled.This was a grave mistake, akin to spraying bug spray directly onto a steak to get rid of ants. Sure, the ants are gone, but what about the steak? Is it still edible, or is it ruined? And worse, would eating it lead you to share the ants’ fate?The purpose of establishing a safe zone was to protect civilians. If the safe zone wasn’t set up in time and the people d
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 734:
Intelligence is the most critical factor in determining the success or failure of any major undertaking.Amanda’s intelligence system shows signs of overload, and its effectiveness is steadily declining. Why? Because the intelligence network isn’t deeply embedded enough. Only three "green agents" have risen to squad leader positions out of twenty. This shortcoming allowed corruption to spread to 27 individuals, including some of those very green agents.The old Squad 3 under Allan was the most plagued by corruption. Why? Because Anton spearheaded the misconduct, while Allan, overly accommodating, turned a blind eye, or lacked oversight and management, letting the problem spiral out of control.If Wylie were appointed deputy commander, not just eight but twelve sq
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 735:
Fortunately, Hope Town had drones, and this rescue team had five operational drones to conduct aerial reconnaissance. They were adept at spotting prominent signals, and it was only a matter of time before survivors heard the announcements and made preparations.Simultaneously, they needed to establish temporary accommodations. Memphis had made it clear that survivors from Crimson Flame Town wouldn’t be allowed into Hope Town at this stage. Therefore, Wylie planned to set up a provisional settlement on the outskirts of the town, about two kilometers away from the edge.The settlement would be constructed using shipping containers. With the help of the "Big Earth Manipulation" ability, the containers would be covered in a layer of earth, followed by vegetation grown and controlled through the "Seed Sowing" and "Plant Manipulation

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.“
