While Hope Town was holding its meeting, the leadership of Lakeside District Base was similarly convening to determine their future course of action.With attendance limited to individuals of deputy battalion commander rank and above, it was a closed meeting of the true upper echelon.After resolving the thorny issue of how to handle relations with Hope Town, they shifted their discussion to the situation involving the zombie hordes."At Pure Essence City, all three bridges show signs of being under attack by zombie hordes. I’m eighty percent certain that by 8 a.m. tomorrow, a horde of 70,000 zombies from Pure Essence City will assault Bridge A-0.""In Whiskey District, the 100,000-strong zombie horde surrounding Battalion 101’s area is extremely powerful and ferocious. They cannot be lured away, and any provocation leads to them unleashing their full force. With our current resources, breaking through will be extremely challenging, requiring heavy sacrifices to achieve, if it's even

To the north, Allan Powell would lead a team of 80 regular soldiers and 50 reserve troops, equipped with heavy weaponry including one M113 armored vehicle, one BTR-60 armored vehicle, 10 RPG-2 anti-tank launchers, two RPG-7 launchers, a DShK heavy machine gun with 500 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition, and an unlimited supply of assorted 7.62mm firearms and ammunition.Joining Allan were Tobin and Lena. The total of 130 individuals under their command consisted of team members who had recently acquired long-range offensive skill manuals. Their mission was to train these members in the 3-1 tactical system. This system assigned three individuals to each small unit: one for reconnaissance and target identification, and two for precise targeting and elimination. The roles rotated continuously, ensuring no overlapping attacks within the unit and no discrepancies with other units, thus minimizing resource wastage.On the Cloudy battlefield, the Manipulate pig was gagged with a corn cob, unable to

Just yesterday, over a dozen residents from Hope Town, despite having endured countless hardships and learning the value of peace, still dared to stand against order. How could Memphis be assured that the residents of Iron Stone Town would stay compliant? The extreme protest in Rutted Track yesterday was a nightmare Memphis had no intention of repeating. He needed to prepare from the smallest steps to block similar schemes in the future. The most straightforward and upright method? Throw those eager to join into the flames of war until they were thoroughly tempered. "Understand the pain and harshness of war? Understood, haven’t you? Then live sensibly from now on." This was just one reason why he kept the residents of Iron Stone Town in their original location. Another

However, the current distance was still insufficient. From the center of the zombie horde to the human frontlines was over three kilometers. When the Soul Suppression wave struck the 300 people present, it caused only some pale faces and mild panic among the survivors of Iron Stone. The residents of Hope, long accustomed to such attacks, remained entirely unaffected.After this exchange of blows, with neither side sustaining any losses, Memphis drew his D.E pistol from his holster and fired two loud shots into the air. From elevated positions along both sides of the tactical trenches, hundreds of soldiers in specialized combat uniforms suddenly rose and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the surging horde of zombies below.Their positions were the closest to the frontlines, near the entrances to ten tunnels teeming with zombies. Attacking from above was most advantageous. Their combat uniforms, made from burlap soaked in zombie flesh and blood, effectively masked their human scent agai

This was the fourth-tier skill Counterturn, enhanced with single-strike explosive force, carrying 85% of the original power Memphis had personally charged into it.Level 4 equipment, when used wisely, could produce strategic effects capable of influencing large-scale battles. But only if used correctly.Using a Level 4 Demon Slayer gun on humans would be idiotic. Forcing someone to strip with a Level 4 Seal Ring? Even more idiotic. Swallowing a Level 4 Gluttony Prison to escape an enemy? Madness. Drinking a Level 4 Mutant Potion to activate its Silence effect during a battle you’re commanding? Utter lunacy.Similarly, the Level 4 Mimic Ring required careful selection of skills for specific situations. It wasn’t about copying the strongest skill and unleashing it indiscriminately—that was brute-force fighting. The key lay in choosing the most suitable skill for the scenario.In this battle, if Memphis had copied three attacks from E3 Level 33, he would have failed. Even launching three
