2024-05-20 22:05:08Looking at the attribute table, Memphis understood a bit more. It turned out his experience gained was proportional to the monster's level. So, the stronger the zombie he killed, the greater the benefits, and there was a chance of loot drops!
The breakthrough point increased to 11%, but he still didn't know its use.
Taking a deep breath, Memphis cautiously stepped forward, his eyes constantly scanning for information on zombies, ready to respond quickly.
Next to his office was the secretary's room. Holding the bat in one hand, Memphis carefully turned the lock with the other. He wanted to see if Amanda was still human or had turned into a zombie.
If she is human, Memphis thought, he would try to investigate her situation a bit. If she is a zombie, he wouldn't mind giving her a whack to gain some experience points.
Click, click...
Click, click, click...
The door suddenly opened, and Memphis's body tensed into a defensive stance. However, after observing, there was no one inside. Maybe she was in the director's office, or perhaps she had been eaten somewhere else.
He quickly closed the secretary's office door and quietly stepped over to the adjacent director's office.
The door was tightly shut, with no bloodstains outside or any signs of scratching. Perhaps these two were still alive.
Memphis pressed his ear against the door, listening carefully. The director's office often hosted shady activities, so it was well soundproofed. Nevertheless, he could still hear screams mixed with disgusting wheezing sounds.
"There are people, and there are zombies, more than one. What kind of situation is this?"
Memphis wondered silently, but since there were still living people, he didn't intend to leave them.
He knocked three times on the wooden door. Inside, everything suddenly fell silent, followed by an explosion of cries for help and the wheezing sounds approaching the door.
He immediately focused, turned the doorknob, and gently pulled it open, revealing the scene inside.
Behind the largest desk, Director Lionel and Secretary Amanda were desperately defending themselves. The fat director sat in a chair, his legs pushing against the desk like a barrier to prevent the three zombies from advancing. Sweat poured from his chubby face like a waterfall. Amanda, beside him, wielded a black baseball bat, fiercely jabbing at the zombies' faces to keep them from climbing onto the desk.
The two coordinated relatively well, but they were nearly exhausted. When they saw Memphis, they cried out as if grasping at a lifeline:
"Save us..."
In front of them were three zombies, one of which was abnormally tall. It was his creditor, the loan shark, who was ready to give him a few punches at any moment, Kieron Leyton. Memphis didn't need to see his face to recognize him. That broad back haunted him every month for the 1500 USD debt.
Two other zombies, emaciated with pus-covered faces and white teeth, were his former colleagues. They looked extremely terrifying!
"Infectious form level 1 and level 2? Perfect!"
Memphis glanced at the two zombies, no longer feeling as repulsed or terrified. Instead, he felt a bit of excitement and thrill. These were perfect targets for leveling up.
Seeing the two zombies approaching, Memphis braced his leg against the door, allowing it to open just wide enough for one person to pass through. He then raised his bat, ready to strike.
Zombies had no intelligence, the two squeezed through the narrow opening. Before they could bite, Memphis swung his bat, shattering the level 2 zombie's head.
The remaining zombie hissed, clawing at Memphis's foot. He quickly pulled his foot back, swung the door wide open, and with a side swing, broke the zombie's neck. Its eyes popped out, and it was utterly dead.
Seeing Memphis easily defeat the disgusting zombies, Lionel and Amanda's hope soared.
Memphis kicked aside the zombie blocking his path and stepped into the director's office, closing the door behind him.
The recent fight hadn't caused much noise, but the two people's screaming was truly too loud. He worried that zombies outside might be attracted.
With a quick glance, Memphis immediately recalled the details of the remaining three zombies.
"One level 1, one level 2, one level 5..."
Memphis looked at the back of the tall zombie Elon Leyton, nearly 2 meters high, and couldn't help but swallow hard. He was only 1.7 meters tall, and even if he wanted to hit it, he couldn't reach its head.
Seeing that Elon Leyton seemed to be turning around due to the noise of the fight, Memphis hurriedly shouted:
"You two, distract it, create an opening so I can strike."
Lionel and Amanda, not as foolish as Memphis often thought, immediately understood his intention. They both screamed loudly, with Amanda even striking Kieron's arm with a baseball bat, scraping off a piece of skin.
Kieron was indeed distracted, reaching out wildly to scratching and clawing, Lionel immediately felt the increased pressure, his knees buckling, almost collapsing.
Memphis didn't waste any time, leaping forward, and without hesitation, swung his bat, smashing the level 2 zombie's head.
Sensing the allure of fresh meat, Kieron suddenly turned and swiped, his long arm lashing towards Memphis's head.
Having anticipated this, Memphis ducked in advance, the baseball bat in his hand precisely striking Kieron's right knee.
Thwack!
The crisp sound of impact echoed, the bat bounced back, and Kieron's knee buckled slightly. As Kieron's arm came down, Memphis quickly swung his bat to block.
Thud!
Kieron's immense strength made Memphis's hand ache, nearly causing him to lose his grip on the bat. He immediately rolled, using his agility to get behind Kieron, and struck again, precisely on Kieron's right knee.
Crack!
Under Memphis's two consecutive full-force strikes, Kieron's knee shattered, and his massive body suddenly toppled to one side.
Memphis didn't hesitate, rushing forward and swinging his bat twice more at Kieron's nape, smashing his skull, spraying brain matter and dark blood all over the floor.
Suddenly, a silver card about the size of a palm fell beside Kieron's body.
Memphis's luck wasn't bad, Kieron had fallen face down. If he had fallen backward, his hands might still have been mobile, making it much harder to kill him.

Chapter 762:
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
Chapter 761:
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
Chapter 760:
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
Chapter 759:
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
Chapter 757:
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…”“
