Memphis devised numerous strategies to use this zombie, but none were feasible for now. Keeping this creature “alive” was incredibly challenging, requiring constant Soul Suppression to maintain it in a semi-unconscious state, weakening it continuously—even strangling it—a task nearly impossible in the current situation."So then, prepare to die."Unable to capture it, he had to kill it. He directed the ice minion to drag the Level 28 M2 outside, slowly retrieving layer upon layer of the icy seal blocking the cave entrance. Once all zombies had been held off by Jarred and Wylie, Memphis considered the battle won.He withdrew the last ice layer, revealing Jarred outside with seven fully armored Defense Types engaged in fierce combat. These creatures, covered in hard exoskeletons, had weak attack power but formidable defense. The seven Shield-2s could only be pounded down by Little Silent, with no chance to counterattack.The injured Manipulation Type’s command over the zombie horde was

Better to bring it home and throw it into that dog’s den—let the dumb dog guard it. Give it some rocks, maybe throw in a mutant chicken to eat the gravel, and you’d have the perfect feng shui for a major faction.After Jarred loaded the jade block into a large container inside the refrigerated truck, a few ice servants were summoned. They picked up shovels that had been prepared and began scooping up all the soil that had absorbed the milky liquid into the truck, even digging up three inches of earth beneath it.Not a trace could be left behind. Memphis didn’t want any lingering aura or energy attracting some weird creature that might sniff its way back to their base.Jarred pulled out three bags of lime powder and a bag of fragrant soap, scattering them around the cave. Memphis then lined up gas cans around the perimeter, carefully setting up 10 pounds of black powder and some car tires to ensure a thorough burn.Once the truck was sealed, and the refrigerated truck had backed out, a

While Brady gulped, Richard beside him widened his eyes in shock. Memphis was publicly offering resources here, in front of everyone. He quickly turned to Memphis and, in a firm tone, said:"Commander Jackman, I ask you to retract these resources. We operate by our own principles and cannot accept any items."His late-night dealings and others "receiving gifts" openly were entirely different matters. If anyone on a mission could openly accept bribes, Lakeside Base would be in chaos within three days.If Brady accepted this batch of skills, then the government base would be no better than a den of thieves, possibly even worse, with soldiers deployed outward becoming extortionists and even forcing other bases. And it was happening right in front of him; he couldn’t allow this to happen.Memphis’s lips curved slightly as he turned to look at a young woman, about 27, in the room and slowly said:"Maggie is the newly appointed squad leader, just yesterday. Lieutenant Tan, please state the

Agreeing to play this waiting game meant accepting the slow sparring. The war had just ended, and he needed time to digest the spoils before building enough momentum to face Lakeside Base directly. For now, he had to begin subtly showing his claws and stance.With that matter settled, Memphis no longer bothered to make things difficult for Richard. He stood up and casually said:“I need to coordinate with Deputy Captain Lawton briefly, and then you can all depart immediately.”Memphis and Jarred then entered the small meeting room adjacent to the main hall, where they exchanged notes on their tasks. These included verifying intelligence about Lakeside Base’s higher-ups, locations with critical Attack Type assets, areas under heavy guard, supply storage zones, frontline combat status, and conditions of lower-tier residents in the rear...Finally, Memphis waved his hand, using a skill, while Jarred utilized the Simulation Ring’s power to replicate it.All day, Memphis had refrained from

A highly sought-after Tier 1 skill is the Seed Planting skill. At the initial levels, it’s not particularly useful, consuming a lot of energy without delivering much impact. However, after being enhanced to +3 or +4, it can root itself and act autonomously without draining stamina. If lucky, one seed could eliminate a dozen zombies that get too close before withering away. Tier 2 skills are generally only available to elite members with accumulated battle experience or those who’ve borrowed or scrambled funds to acquire them. As always, ranged attack skills are popular, but the Tier 2 Light Armor remains the most coveted. This supernatural ability is purely defensive, yet its vital role makes it highly desirable among Superhumans.
