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

    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,

    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.“
