Chapter 232

Penulis: Hugh White
Hayley's strength had been boosted by the system so many times that she almost lost count.

That slap she threw was no joke.

Wallace was sent flying more than 30 feet.

Before he could even catch his breath after hitting the ground, another storm of slaps came down on him.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Under Hayley's crushing strength, Wallace wilted like a vegetable caught in a hurricane. After a few clean, brutal slaps, he was completely out of it.

His head buzzing, Wallace finally forced his swollen eyes open and met a pair of dangerously sharp eyes.

They looked wild and fierce, like a tiger staring at its prey.

Hayley grabbed him by the collar and put on a sweet smile. "Captain Goodwin, let me tell you something quietly."

She leaned closer, casually wiping her hands on his clothes as she said gently, "Captain Caldwell isn't backing me. I'm the one backing him. Got it?"

Wallace froze. His face, already swollen beyond recognition, looked even more ridiculous as shock filled his eyes.

    After Scarlett's message, Hayley received another one."My dear Ms. Reid, you have an incoming call from your devoted Liam. Would you like to answer the call?""Yes.""Hey, there. I sent out your plan about forming a league and recapturing the cities. Other than Ember Base, no one else responded. Hope Base's Alex even ran a full model on it and wants me to pass a message to you."Hayley gave a lazy little snort. "What nonsense is he selling now?""He says with the strength humanity has right now, retaking a city is impossible. In his model, the combat ratio between humans and zombies is one to thirty."That means if all the survivors together add up to ten thousand people, they could at best hold off three hundred thousand zombies."Aecraton alone had over a million people before the outbreak. That means you'll need to wipe out at least seven hundred thousand zombies just to reach the point where a full counterattack is even realistic."In the early stage, the difficulty you fa

    Liam's team threw open the gate. Nobody used guns. They switched to blades and abilities, moving fast and staying quiet. Within ten minutes, every zombie in the area was down.Everyone rushed back to their vehicles and pulled out.Milo left as well, carrying the battery-powered radio Hayley had given him and the frequency number memorized, heading straight back to his own base.On the way back, Liam's convoy stopped at the first intersection and handed Shield Base 1,000 pieces of clothing.Shield Base hadn't really done much this time, anyway. They had provided one night of lodging and some meals, and mostly helped haul boxes behind Liam's team.The original deal was to give them ten times their headcount, about two thousand clothing items. But because of their own nonsense and Hayley's interference, that number got cut in half.Still, a thousand pieces were more than enough to get them through the winter.Liam even made sure they picked the thickest ones.He was fair like th

    Liam stood there, watching Hayley with her arms crossed. She looked calm and confident, as if she owned the world.Her words kept echoing in his head.The next three years would be nonstop natural disasters…They wouldn't get a break.If they didn't strike now, they would lose the chance forever.If anyone else had said it, he wouldn't have believed a word of it.But it was Hayley.Liam's heart began to pound."But you're talking about recapturing a city. Do you really have enough supplies? Milo doesn't have anything at all."Hayley nodded.Her small base already had steady production, and her people were still working every day. She could afford to support herself while fighting zombies outside."Liam, fight with me. I can keep your whole team fed."After all, any city they took would belong to her.The rewards alone would be massive.Spending some food to hire their strength was nothing. Rather, it was pure profit for her.Even mercenaries cost more than that.Liam st

    Base K1 simply couldn't afford to gamble like this."Liam, time is not on our side," Milo went on."Every form of defense is just slow poison. This is the final war between humans and zombies. Either they die out, or we do. If you want the upper hand, you strike while they are still weak and go all in. Once zombies fully evolve, we'll never have another chance. Waiting now is the same as putting the noose around your own neck."Liam looked at him with absolute calm."I might be tying a noose around my neck, but you're basically pointing a gun at your head. Do you know what happens if your plan fails? Going all in just speeds up death. And who can say there will not be a better chance later?"At that moment, a clear female voice cut in."Going all in at least gives a chance to change everything. And no, there won't be a better chance later."Hayley stood up. She looked straight at Milo."You're right. If humans want control, it has to be now. Zombies are still limited. The more

    Milo looked at Hayley, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly as he quietly asked Liam, "Is she your girl?""No, you've got it wrong," Liam said right away. "She's the leader of Haylight Base. Her name's Hayley Reid. And she's tough."When Milo heard the words "she's tough", he showed a hint of interest. He stood up, tall and broad, walked over to Hayley, and offered her his hand."If Liam says you're tough, then I believe it. I'm Milo Reynolds, from Firebrand Base."Hayley glanced at his open hand."Hayley Reid. Haylight Base."Then she took it.The instant their hands touched, it was like grabbing onto something burning hot. A wave of strength surged from his grip straight into her arm.Even from a simple handshake, she could feel how powerful Milo was, full of heat, energy, and an aggressive kind of life.In short, this man was all force and pressure.Milo felt it, too.He stared at her in surprise. Her hand was small, yet the power behind it was real.When they locked hands,

    Hayley didn't bother arguing with the people from Shield Base. She just waved at them casually."If you've got a problem, come say it to my face."No one moved.Every person in Shield Base knew it. From Wallace to the lowest grunt, more than half of them had already been beaten by Hayley.The few who hadn't weren't stupid enough to provoke her now.No one dared to go against Hayley. She had backing and strength, and she was ruthless enough to prove it.Who would dare mess with her?That was when she heard a quiet laugh from across the fire.She looked up and met Milo's sharp, tiger-like eyes.The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, then the smile vanished as fast as it appeared. He turned his attention back to the pot.When the food was ready, his people moved quickly to serve it out.They hadn't eaten anything like this in a long time.Even prepackaged food from before the collapse tasted like a feast now.Inside the meal packs were roast chicken with gravy, barbecue p
