The stones crashed into the lake like meteors slamming into the sea. Each impact sent waves surging violently, water spraying up to three meters high. 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

Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 742:
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

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

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

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

The Sellers family were among the elite of the old society. Just gauging from Sarah's abilities alone, it was clear how capable the core members of this lineage were. Once "licensed to operate.” their productivity would far exceed expectations. Especially now that they had pledged to develop and remain committed to the organization, the benefits they could bring would stand in stark contrast to the chaotic and unreliable nature of gangs or ragtag alliances.The second reason Memphis had allowed them this opportunity was his desire to diversify Hope Town's social structure—or more precisely, to conduct a "social experiment" and observe how Hope Town would react to the introduction of such an anomalous element. Would it improve, or deteriorate?This data would be crucial for properly building a sustainable organization in the future.Perhaps it was time to complicate the situation. By manufacturing manageable conflicts, multiple factions would deplete their resources while he positioned

"The first factor is trust. Those who do not trust our organization are the ones who still hold faith in the government. They believe that the government will soon send troops for rescue, and this belief stems from long-standing pre-apocalyptic ideals. Therefore, the key is to alter this outdated trust.”"We will implement two parallel actions.”"First, we build the residents' trust in Hope Town. This foundation is already laid by the life-saving efforts, and the legal framework is established through the Hope Code. As long as we continue to uphold order and stability, avoiding any actions that harm or threaten the people, Hope Town will naturally gain gradual acceptance.”"Second, we must eliminate the residents' trust in the government. Our first step is to locate and secure all FM radio stations, ensuring that no resident can access external information. Then, we use Hope Town's radio transmitter to disseminate fake government messages. The content should repeatedly urge residents

After Adolph finished, Memphis couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. He could no longer view this old man as ordinary. All he could see now was a sly fox.Adolph was determined to exploit the bait of "fame and fortune" to the fullest, employing capitalist tactics to strangle the proletariat while leveraging existing adversity to gain advantages. And the greatest beneficiary of this would be none other than the Sellers family.Why? Because only the Sellers had earned enough of Memphis’s trust, along with the ability, influence, and resolve to execute such a plan."Building something from nothing, huh?""The Sellers currently have nothing to implement this plan. The apocalypse has destroyed all their assets. All that remains are the people. What he’s proposing is like counting chickens before they hatch, grasping at the moon’s reflection in water—there are no guarantees.""But if they wish to preserve their family and thrive in this apocalypse, they have no choice but to star

The Manipulation-Type mutant in the maternity clinic displayed heightened vigilance. Even inanimate objects like drones entering the clinic's range could trigger its frenzy. However, if the disturbance remained outside the clinic, the creature was completely oblivious.Its "mother" had long since died, leaving it without the guidance needed for survival and no one to detect and repel threats during its growth. Due to an unknown mutation, it had lost many survival instincts, rendering it immobile as it awaited the chance to be "born."Capitalizing on this weakness, over a ton of gasoline bombs and dozens of household gas cylinders had been arranged around the clinic by Dagger team members, ensuring a fiery display upon detonation.Additionally, the three roads leading to the

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
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.“
