Chapter 239

Auteur: Hugh White
This was the first time Hayley had ever talked to Thomas, and she honestly didn't expect that he didn't smoke at all.

Everything she knew about him came from what people in the base said.

They claimed Thomas had gotten into trouble as a teenager and spent years in a juvenile facility. After he got out, he ended up fighting in underground boxing rings.

They said he barely talked, had a bad temper, and hit people whenever he felt like it. No one could really communicate with him.

And with all those tattoos, he looked scary enough that everyone assumed he wasn't a decent person. At the very least, they thought smoking and drinking had to be part of his life.

"It's fine. You can take one of mine," Hayley said, holding the pack out again.

"I really don't smoke. My sister hated the smell," Thomas replied.

"You have a sister?" Hayley put the cigarettes away and took out two pieces of chewing gum instead.

This time, Thomas accepted.

He carefully unwrapped the gum, popped it into his

    That night, after learning that Hayley had launched the first recapture attack on the city that very day, Alex fell into heavy silence.It was February 27th.The coldest time of the year, yet they were going out to fight zombies in this weather.Was it just because the cold slowed the zombies down and made them easier targets? The freeze might be brutal for zombies, but wasn't it just as hard on real, living people?Alex ran the simulation through their most powerful supercomputer, and the results were terrifying. They couldn't use large-scale weapons in the city. That would only draw every zombie in town to them at once. That meant the only option left was the most basic one: clearing the land and pushing forward slowly.It was almost like monks going on some endless pilgrimage with no shortcuts, slowly chewing through the city, one block at a time.One wrong move in that process meant death.Alex clenched his fists."Those people are insane. I'm not going crazy with them!

    Now that crystal cores had gradually become a recognized currency, their value also became standardized. One crystal core could be exchanged for ten pounds of grain.That meant the price of Hayley's evolution serum was only one-fifth of Alex's.She had crushed his pricing without mercy.More importantly, Ember Base had huge amounts of crystal cores that were useless to them anyway. To them, paying with crystal cores was basically getting evolution serum for free.Malcolm immediately contacted Liam and bought one dose to try it out. After using it, they were so shocked that they were practically speechless.Hayley was unreal. Her evolution serum was insane!When Malcolm and Scarlett heard that Hayley was recruiting people to recapture a city, the two siblings discussed it and immediately chose to join Hayley's league.If it weren't for the fact that their base had too many elderly people and Hayley wouldn't take them all in, they would've moved over entirely without hesitation.

    An hour later, everyone's abilities were nearly drained.After they switched to cold steel and went in to finish the rest, the entire street finally fell quiet.This was Haylight League's very first purge.Hayley had chosen the outer edge of Aecraton, the High-Tech District, as their opening target.It was right on the border of her territory, and the factory she had taken before was also in this district.After locking in their teams, they held meetings all day and finally decided to start here and push inward bit by bit.Streets would be their short-term objectives, and residential compounds their main battlefield.This street and the two housing blocks nearby were today's targets. To avoid drawing in even more zombies with gunfire, the first operation relied purely on gifts and traps.The result was a total success!Over 300 people against more than 30 thousand zombies.It was a complete wipeout.The first battle ended in victory."Captain Reid… Are we done?" Scarlett st

    "I told my grandpa about your plan," Liam said. "He said you're the real deal. He even told me that if I don't follow you, he'll kick me out and take you as his granddaughter instead."So… Base K1 is officially joining the Haylight League!"Hayley, who had been staring into the distance, turned around at once when she heard that.Ding! [League member +1!]-Three days later, on a bright and cloudless morning."Raarh… Raarh!"In the hallway of a residential building, a zombie that hadn't eaten in a long time wandered back and forth.It was wearing a pair of colorful summer board shorts and a white tank top on its upper body. Of course, the tank top was long past white, stained everywhere with dark brown filth.Its chest had been dug open, and its liver and kidneys were gone. Half its heart had been torn away, and what remained was still marked by teeth marks.Its intestines spilled out of its abdomen, the torn edges clear with bite marks.Luckily, it was winter.In the bruta

    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
