2024-06-22 19:00:05Memphis led the way out of the meeting room without giving anyone time to think further. The others followed him to a communal dining hall.
There, a large dining table with a dozen or so seats had been set up, just enough for the meeting attendees.
Everyone took their seats and began enjoying dinner, which included rice, braised oxtail, pork stew with radish, a bowl of salted pigskin, and seaweed soup with fish.
Outside, a crowd had already gathered, moving steadily towards the food distribution point. Occasionally, the cries of children could be heard.

After Dante left, before Memphis could shower, Lionel and Amanda arrived.Memphis opened the door for them, and after they all sat down, Lionel carefully chose his words and said:"Memphis, I've done some calculations. Based on current consumption rates, our food supplies can last for 21 days."Memphis looked at the old manager for a moment before replying:"30 days?"Lionel was slightly taken aback. Being a shrewd man, he quickly realized what Memphis meant, and with a bitter smile, he nodded and said:"Yes, 30 days, 30 days..."He understood that Memphis wanted him to tighten the budget. How he did it was his own concern.Lionel would likely have to water down the porridge, add more water to the meat stew, or bulk it up with more potatoes.Memphis smiled and, noticing Lionel's half-gray hair, said:"Lionel, you've worked hard. Starting tomorrow, you'll receive an additional 10 exp crystals as extra pay."Memphis knew that with the amount of logistical work this old man was about to
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 86: Benefit Exchange.
Memphis was unfazed, smirking as he asked:"What's with that look? Want me to check on your health? How are you feeling?"Amanda nearly spat blood in anger.Seeing her stubbornly glaring, Memphis conjured a long, thick, veiny ice object and threatened:"If you don't leave, I'll use this."Amanda stared at the over one-meter-long white icy object, her face a mix of fear and rage as she shouted:"You despicable man, when I'm stronger, I'll make you pay!"Memphis wasn't afraid in the slightest. He waved this strange item in front of her as if to taunt her, then pointed to the door and said:"Come back when you're stronger. For now, leave immediately."Amanda huffed with resentment, grasping the chair for support as she stood up, then limped out of the room.Memphis estimated inwardly, judging by her status, she looked as though she had been subjected to an hour-long ordeal. If anyone saw her by chance, they would mock him for being impotent.A few minutes after Amanda left, Jarred arrive

Wallflower glanced at him with a light smile, shook his hand, and said:"Memphis, initiating a handshake with a lady isn't very gentlemanly."Memphis awkwardly scratched his head, not knowing much about such etiquette.With her business concluded, Wallflower brought up her friends' concerns:"Londyn and James want stable jobs that allow them to eat without too much hardship."Memphis was silent for a moment. He had almost forgotten about these two pampered young men

Zoran Rollins, sitting in the corner, let out a bitter smile.He had been one of the earliest followers of Memphis, participating in numerous battles from fighting the E1, setting traps to kill the E2, to eliminating the Three Guys gang. However, he wasn't chosen as a squad leader.Zoran was intelligent and the son of a top politician in SilverLining Solutions province, understanding Memphis's decision and vaguely sensing Memphis's future direction.Zoran had never shown loyalty to Memphis and leaned towards the government psychologically.Looking at the six squad leaders, all of whom had demonstrated loyalty and received benefits from Memphis, it was clear these were the people Memphis wanted to nurture, not someone like Zoran, who might leave in the future.Zoran felt conflicted, torn between feeling unrecognized for his contributions and understanding the reasons behind it.His background was pro-government, whereas Memphis might not align with the government in the future.Yet, he
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 89: Many Anomalies Are Gradually Occurring.
Memphis's expression turned grim. This was the first time he saw zombies ignoring humans and moving on their own. Previously, zombies would stand idle when there were no humans around.He wanted to order a retreat back to the base immediately, but they were already here, and leaving empty-handed was not an option. On one hand, they needed the weapons to survive; on the other, these zombies were not gathering at the dormitory but heading towards the center of Meadowbrook Lane."Damn it, it's only the fifth day of mutations, and there are so many anomalies."Cursing under his breath, Memphis lowered the car window and tossed out an ice sphere. It exploded, freezing and shattering six or seven zombies around them.With a clear space, he opened the car door and jumped out, drawing his sword to cut down the surrounding zombies.From the three vehicles behind, squad leaders Gemma and Kiley also displayed their skills, creating a gap for their team members to disembark.Memphis shouted loudl
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 90: Store Guns In The Secret Compartment.
Memphis approached the F1 corpse, picking up a skill book, an item card, and an exp crystal."Ding! Active skill level two: Illusory Step. Skill attribute: Take 7 consecutive steps, each step adding 2 agility, the next 7 steps each reducing 2 agility. Skill activation: 2 stamina. Can be activated continuously. Skill power depends on skill level.""Ding! 24 exp!""Ding! Random item card. Confirm use?""No."Memphis threw all three items into his backpack, feeling a bit weary.The resources obtained from this F1 were far inferior to those from the F1 on the first day of mutation. Back then, that toy dropped a third-tier skill, but now it was just a measly second-tier one.However, it wasn't too bad. This second-tier Illusory Step skill was relatively useful and could be given as a reward to subordinates. Compared to the Acceleration skill that instantly provided 12 speed, it wasn't as advantageous, but its consumption was only 2 stamina, making it more suitable for prolonged battles com

However, it wasn't something he could worry about now. That was past. What mattered now was that these weapons were in his hands, giving him some defense for the future.He immediately ordered Michal:"Move all of this out.""Yes!"Michal's group, all grinning with excitement, entered the secret room and began packing the guns into fabric bags from their backpacks.Memphis had already prepared for this, knowing the scale of the arsenal from Dante, so they had plenty of fabric bags, enough to hold twice the amount of equipment.Memphis stepped forward and picked up a gun, an MP5A3, using 7.62mm ammunition, which was very compatible with most of the bullets he had. If it were the 9mm version, once the stored ammunition was exhausted, it would become useless.Each gun was put into sacks and carried out, rows of ammo boxes, crates of grenades, and sets of armor followed, emptying the secret warehouse room.After ensuring there was nothing else of value, Memphis turned and left.Michal and

Memphis cursed frantically and shouted to the team member next to him:"Shoot everything at the back!"The team members beside him, all four, did not dare to delay and simultaneously stuck their heads out of the window, unleashing the full firepower of their MP5A3s towards the rear.But the F2's figure was incredibly swift and ghostly. Under the dense rain of bullets, it did not get hit by a single one; instead, its speed only increased.Memphis's lips twitched. Though in danger, he maintained his composure, waiting for the F2 to come within 20 meters before rais

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

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
Chapter 747:
"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
Chapter 746:
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
Chapter 745:
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

Splash! Splash! Splash!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
