A moment later, Memphis spoke in a deep voice:

"The First Leader, we’ll leave Jarred and Dante here."

First Wayman raised an eyebrow and immediately said:

"Leave one more person."

His words carried an invisible pressure, making Memphis hold his breath before replying:

"We also need manpower on our side, otherwise the spoils of war will be too few. How about this, we’ll leave Miss Kathy here too. The First Leader, you’re not trying to squeeze us out of the loot, are you?"

First Wayman initially wanted to pressure Memphis into leaving one more person as a “hostage,” but he hesitated, fearing Memphis might see through his plan. After a moment, he said:

"Fine, we’ll divide the spoils based on contributions. But our side must get at least 70% of the weapons and ammunition."

"Agreed, it's a deal."

Memphis inwardly sneered, looking at the Three Guys Gang as if they were dead men walking.

The essence of deception is to create a seemingly safe environment, making the prey believe they are in c

    First Wayman furiously shouted in anger, kicking open the car door and jumping out, firing three shots into the air to restore some order.Seeing the flaming car blocking the road ahead, his heart sank. Looking at Memphis and his group standing calmly, without any sign of panic, his sense of foreboding grew stronger.Once all the lackeys were out of the vehicles, First Wayman, holding an AK74 and aiming it at Memphis's group, asked in a deep voice:"What just happened?"Memphis, with a cold look, responded calmly:"Oh, First Leader, it was just an accident. One of my comrades accidentally shot a fireball, which unfortunately hit the gas tank of your subordinate's car. So, as you can see..."Hearing Memphis's mocking tone, the men pointed their guns at him, shouting angrily:"You bastard...""You killed Young Dog...""I'm going to kill you..."First Wayman's sense of foreboding intensified. He looked at Winston, who no longer showed any signs of fear, at Wylie's bloodthirsty eyes, and

    Memphis, standing behind the now-cracked ice wall, coldly threatened:"Drop your weapons now, or die!"His call for surrender was met with a barrage of gunfire.Bang bang bang...Thunk!One of the ice balls suddenly transformed into a sharp 2-meter spike, impaling a lackey through the stomach and suspending him in mid-air."Aaaa... It hurts..."Another ice ball burst into icy mist, enveloping a lackey's legs. He screamed in agony as his feet, then legs, then thighs, froze and shattered, leaving him a half-man writhing on the ground, screaming."Help me... I surrender..."But as he screamed, the cold invaded his throat, freezing his neck, then half his body into an ice statue.First Wayman fired a full clip from his AK74 into the wall opposite, shattering it to pieces. However, no one was behind it.Instead, he was met with a sharp ice spear that pierced his right shoulder, spreading a chilling frost that exploded his shoulder with a pop, causing his blackened arm to fall beside him."

    First Wayman, upon seeing the carnage and the crowd of survivors, knew he had lost. He quickly shouted:"I surrender. Spare me. I regret everything…"But no one responded to him. They all stared at him with cold, hateful eyes.Memphis then stood before everyone and declared:"Hello everyone, my name is Memphis. Before this, I was an office worker, earning a salary and paying taxes like everyone else!"His introduction was simple, not boasting about his strength or combat skills, focusing instead on his pre-apocalypse life.This approach garnered some goodwill. At least the person who had captured First Wayman wasn’t acting arrogantly.Memphis glanced around at everyone and continued:"I, too, am an ordinary survivor, fighting every day for food and safety. Today, I am here because the Three Guys Gang pushed me to the brink, forcing me to fight back.""I killed him because he oppressed and bullied me."These words from Memphis struck a chord with the crowd. They shared the same grievan

    After thinking for a moment, Jarred said:"This dormitory can hold up to 400 people, easy to defend and hard to attack. Our current place is too exposed and small. Moving our 30 people here is easier than moving nearly 200 people there."Memphis nodded. Moreover, this dormitory was near the Grieving River, and across the Grieving River bridge was Lakeside County. The river could provide fresh food supplies.This place seemed like a much better option.Having made his decision, he calmly spoke:"Announce to everyone once again. From now on, each person's food rations will be doubled. Additionally, there will be various tasks assigned, and completing them will earn contribution points, which can be exchanged for extra food."Timon, organize a team to maintain order around here. No more looting, bullying, or theft."Timon, I'll overlook your past mistakes. Gather a group of daring individuals ready to search for supplies with me. Tell them that if they listen and are brave, within half a

    Jarred quickly said:"I'll go bring my people over; otherwise, my two sweethearts will cry their eyes out missing me."Memphis had no objection to this. Jarred, being level 7, was more than capable of handling things on his own.They had spent over an hour here, and the other side had likely loaded all the supplies onto the bus and pickup trucks, ready to flee if things went south. What seemed like a bad situation had turned out surprisingly well, giving them the opportunity to move their base.Memphis wasn't idle either. He had been delayed by side issues for too long while aiming to reach level 9. He couldn't afford any more delays. Swiftly, he waved his hand, and four rings clattered onto the table."Everyone involved in this operation can choose some guns and ammo as spoils. We'll split these four rings and the rest. As for the baseball bats and machetes, distribute them to the subordinate team."Jarred nudged and picked a ring of agility and a fireball ring."Ding! Fireball ring

    Dante Mole and Timon Roome, both leaders of their respective teams, had previously gone out to fight zombies and scavenge for supplies. They were not overly terrified, cautiously killing zombies one by one.They wielded distributed baseball bats, and even Mole and Roome had pistols holstered at their sides, fighting zombies barehanded.Three Guys Place had many baseball bats before, but more than half had disappeared on the first day, later lost in battles, leaving only 17 bats, evenly distributed among the team members.Not everyone dared to risk their lives; more than half of the team chose to drag zombie corpses into piles and burn them with gasoline.After 20 minutes, Memphis had killed sixty or seventy zombies, his stamina decreased by 2 points. He then paused to observe.These two teams had a few decent combat seeds. They weren't overly afraid of death; instead, they fought ferociously. However, they lacked experience and stamina, gradually getting surrounded by the dense horde

    The atmosphere quieted for a moment, then exploded with fervent cries."I, I pledge my loyalty...""Mr. Jackman, please choose me, help me...""I want to become a superhuman..."Their eyes were bloodshot as they shouted, making all kinds of promises and vows.They weren't joking; possessing superhuman abilities meant a chance to rise quickly, becoming a non-human powerhouse who would be revered. Why could the Three Guys rule? Because Third Hubert was a superhuman who could withstand bullets, overpowering Chief Payne and seizing power for his elder brother.Timon's eyes burned with fierce desire and urgency. He had more connections than Dante, previously gathering more and better manpower. But now, the other had become a superhuman, leaving him suddenly behind.Memphis let the crowd vent for a while before raising his hand and seriously saying:"I don't like empty promises; I need actions to prove it! Now, continue hunting zombies!"The crowd seemed as if they had been injected with a

    At that moment, Kiley Linn spoke from a corner:"There are many women here, but there are also many children. I wonder if there are any elementary or middle schools nearby?"She had two children, Winter and Justine. Before the apocalypse, Winter was in elementary school, and Justine had just started seventh grade, still in school age.Memphis felt a slight stir and looked over at Michal and Jaden McNeil, the local experts.Jaden McNeil spoke with a hint of bitterness:“Yes, Hope Elementary School, my child studied there. But now…”Tears started to flow down her cheeks. The apocalypse had descended, and no one could escape it; her child had been eaten by zombies.Memphis sighed heavily, and after a moment, he said seriously:“From now on, this base will be called Hope Town.”“Hope Town…”Everyone repeated the name softly, their eyes filled with a mix of hope and complexity.This name carried a lot of meaning. It was indeed a fitting name.After agreeing on the name, they discussed vari

    If Memphis were a vile person, and Hope Town was a cesspool of corruption, there would have been no need for Sarah to openly declare their connection. A quiet escape plan would have sufficed. Sarah’s immediate transparency indicated her unwillingness to conceal anything and her clear desire to align herself with Memphis.She wanted more than just a foothold in Hope Town. She sought influence and power, no longer content to remain merely a legal advisor. For this, she was willing to risk breaking the rules, even knowing the law better than anyone."A place with people will inevitably have conflicts. Violating principles like this may be wrong in theory, but it feels right emotionally."Memphis couldn’t stop others from harboring personal agendas, nor could he prev

    This allowed all his actions to seem justified, fitting within any narrative one could perceive. It made him entirely unreadable—his thoughts a mystery, his intentions obscure, and even his decisions, once made, felt inevitable.“Lawless.”Calling himself a bandit wasn’t a self-deprecating joke—it was the raw truth.Memphis glanced coldly at the two masterminds before letting his gaze drift to the clueless “big-bottomed lamb” standing there. A wave of irritation immediately washed over him.Big chests lacking brains had been proven time and time again. Who would have thought big bottoms shared the same fate? This woman didn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation at all. She displayed no hint of fear.When Rosa noticed Memphis looking at her instead of the document, and even claiming it was a forgery, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “How could it be fake? You haven’t even read it; how would you know if it’s real or not?"The corner of Memphis's mouth twitched uncontrollab

    Memphis was indeed frowning at the omission in the materials. Everything else was fine; nothing seemed worthy of criticism—so where was the residents' survey of preferences?Don’t say they forgot? What kind of operation is this?Just as he was about to ask, Rosa spoke first:“Memphis, I have something to tell you.”Instinctively curious, Memphis replied: “What is it?”Rosa’s inner smile grew. His propensity for "snooping" was too high—one vague sentence was enough to make him forget about scolding. She lowered her voice, adopting a pleading tone:“My grandfather wants to talk to you.”"Hm? Adolph? What could he want from me? Aren’t all proposals supposed to go through Sarah first?"Sarah, who Memphis had assigned from Hope Town to temporarily oversee operations, was responsible for compiling and preliminarily reviewing all proposals from Crimson Flame's residents.It struck him then: something was off. Why was this rookie delivering the message instead of Sarah?His brow furrowed slig

    5:30 PM on Day 24 Post-Apocalypse, outskirts of Crimson Flame Town.Eight hours into the rescue mission, the 4th Reserve Battalion, working in tandem with 24 Dagger members, successfully rescued 277 survivors from approximately 70% of the central town’s territory. This is an astounding number, highlighting the stark survival disparity.Crimson Flame Town's center had about 40,000 residents. To find 277 survivors by Day 24, with the potential for even more from the remaining areas, is remarkable. In contrast, Renaissance County and its surrounding zones, with a larger population, yielded only 158 survivors by Day 12—12 days earlier.Where Manipulation Types exist, human survival becomes extraordinarily tenuous.Memphis emerged from a small ice shard, his face etched with exhaustion. He and Wylie were the principal forces combing the southwestern region for survivors. Within a 4-kilometer radius of the maternity clinic, not a single soul remained unaccounted for, even the faintest signs

Stones that missed the lake shattered the courtyard, spraying bloodstained concrete and debris everywhere. The entire area turned into chaos, the once serene surroundings now a murky mess.Jarred’s unconventional attack style could easily rival bomb strikes."Hssaaahhh…"From the lake’s center, countless purple bubbles, each the size of a fist, burst forth, releasing toxic green gas. Bloodied slime mixed with frothy water splattered about, creating a grotesque spectacle. A furious, cold-blooded hiss pierced the air, and a mas

    The walls being constructed by Hope Township consist of three layers with a total thickness of 1 meter. The primary components include mud mixed with mutated vines and barbed wire, reinforced with large stones and a steel core. The outer layers are sheathed in metal sheets and reinforced with sturdy wooden braces, making them incredibly difficult to destroy. Additionally, after construction, the walls are further strengthened by Earth Manipulation practitioners, compacting the earth and stone tightly for added durability.This segment of the wall had collapsed, the crumbled dirt resembling cold porridge, with steel rods scattered as far as 20 meters away. Some metal sheets and barbed wire were also punctured, showcasing the sheer brute force of the snake responsible for the destruction.Jarred examined two nearby sedans, both twisted

Jarred narrowed his eyes slightly, then snapped his fingers. A second figure, an exact reflection of himself, formed out of moonlight.Once the Reflection summoned by the Simulation Ring materialized: “it" donned clothing and took a few documents from Jarred.

    Seven seconds later, Jarred landed on the eastern bank of Grieving River.Three jeeps from Lakeside's government awaited them, accompanied by over a dozen officials and soldiers. Witnessing Jarred’s effortless flight, they couldn’t help but swallow nervously.Lakeside had someone capable of flight as well—Verne Riddle. But this Lawton fellow was far too skilled and smooth, not even producing the slightest sound of rushing wind.Jarred landed in front of the three jeeps and released Sherwin and his companions. Scanning the group of ten people before him, he nodded and said: “The handover is complete. You may leave now."The staff immediately stepped forward to inspect the three Phó memb

    "The first approach is ideological harmony. Hope Township abandons its pursuit of self-reliance and agrees to follow the state’s centralized policies. Alternatively, Lakeside County could cease its ambition to connect with Harbor Line District and instead ally with Hope Township to rebel. In either case, the conflict would dissolve on its own. Of course, this approach is too far-fetched to even consider.""The second approach is ideological suppression. Hope Township and Lakeside County resolve to fight to the death. The losing side would vanish, taking its ideology to the afterlife. The winning side seizes all resources and celebrates victory, gaining more fuel to sustain the engine of peace. This destructive option has already occurred. While its consequences have not been catastrophic yet, there is a significant risk of it reoccurring if the third approach cannot succeed."
