"I'm fine," the man said, forcing the words out through his cough."That's not true!" The boy shot to his feet. "I'm going to find him!""Find who?" The man grabbed him tight. "Have you forgotten this base doesn't allow sick people to exist?"The boy froze. His fists clenched. He stared at his father's worsening face, and tears finally spilled, unstoppable."But Dad," he cried, "I can't just let you suffer!""Hey. You want to save your dad?"At that moment, a clear female voice cut in.The boy looked up and, through his tears, saw a stunning young woman standing in front of them. She wore expensive-looking combat gear, clean, sharp, and confident.Not someone you ever saw down here."Who are you?" he asked. "I've got medicine that can save him," Hayley said, arms crossed, "but it's not free.""If you can save my dad, I'll do anything," the boy blurted out. "I'll work myself to death for you!"That was exactly what Hayley wanted to hear.She looked at the boy as he wiped h

The man held his clothes in his hands, standing there in nothing but his underwear so everyone could see.The manager looked him up and down. "Don't let it happen again. Next time you find anything, you turn it in to me. Otherwise, you won't get off this easy. Got it, kid?"He shoved the struggling boy aside, scooped the food off the floor, and took it for himself."Dad! Dad…" The boy rushed to his father's side."I'm fine." The man pulled his clothes back on and forced a reassuring smile onto his pale face.Tears welled up in the boy's eyes. "Dad, it's my fault. I was careless. That's how they noticed.""It's not your fault," the man said softly. "That manager's nose is just too sharp.""But… But…" The boy stared at the spot where the food had fallen. People had already swarmed it. Some licked the floor. Others used their bread to wipe up the grease, scraping every last bit."Our food's gone," he murmured. A quiet voice whispered in his ear. "I still have some."The boy l
The Endgame Chronicles Chapter 524
Level One of Ark Three was where the regular people lived.It was split into two main zones: housing and production.Around 15 thousand people were packed into the residential area. It held the most people and the least space.They also carried the heaviest workload.Hydroponic farming, small-scale livestock, textile work, equipment repairs, waste hauling. All the most basic, most exhausting jobs landed here.Level Two handled secondary processing and energy supply. Lighter work, better conditions.Above that came research, including tech and virus labs.The top two levels did nothing at all.Level Four existed purely to entertain Level Five with music, dancers, and shows."This is the bottom of the base," Nathaniel said as the elevator doors slid open. "Nothing worth seeing."It was dinner time.People streamed toward the cafeteria to collect their meals.Tonight counted as a good meal. One bread roll per person, plus a bowl of vegetable soup.Everyone looked happy, cradl

The white-masked hosts took the wreath and nodded politely at the group in green masks."Please, come in."The Ark Two group followed behind, carrying their own gifts. However, the welcome they received was noticeably colder."You're here, too," one of the white masks said flatly."We came to see Mr. Clayton off," someone from Ark Two replied, keeping their tone civil."Go on." The white mask didn't say anything more. He took their offerings and waved them inside.Good timing.If they hadn't shown up, Ark Three would've gone looking for them anyway.Hayley moved with the crowd into Ark Three.It reminded her a little of Ark One: sleek, metallic, and heavy on tech.The layout was inverted.The first three levels housed regular civilians.The powerful lived on the top two levels.Security was tight to the point of suffocation. Only elevators led upward, and every ride required a card swipe.Your card decided how far you went. Even if you managed to sneak up with someone els

Nathaniel paused before replying, "Sure."It sounded like nonsense, but for some reason, he liked listening to Hayley ramble."Then I'll bring the best-looking manager we've got," he said, turning to the people behind him. His gaze landed on Gideon, the youngest and most recently promoted."You're coming with me."Gideon froze for half a second, then straightened. "Yes, sir!"Nathaniel brought only Gideon and five Gifted guards.Eleven people total.They didn't head straight for Ark Three. Instead, they flew to Ark Two first to meet up, then traveled together.On the helicopter, everyone put on masks.Hayley borrowed Nathaniel's green one as usual.The Ark Two group wore yellow masks. It was hard to tell whether their base director had come along.They chatted warmly with Nathaniel.Hayley stayed quiet, listening."This whole thing with Ark Three is unfortunate," one of them said. "They're bound to blame our inhibitor from the auction, but we were clear about the risks.

When he heard Hayley, Liam laughed."You really wanted to see him turn?""Of course," Hayley said. "If he turned, it would've proved Ark Two's inhibitor was fake. Once that happens, those two bases would've gone at each other for sure. I've been waiting for that exact spark."She kept pacing as she talked.After Samuel's advice, she had been watching for a fuse to light. She had already stirred things up over the inhibitor once. Then the outbreak hit, and Ark Two managed to skate by.If Trevor had gone home and turned, Ark Two wouldn't have been able to explain it away. Everyone would've known the inhibitor didn't work.War would've been guaranteed.Instead, the guy just died. Clean and fast.They said there was a 20% death rate. Of course, it landed on him.Hayley circled again, clearly annoyed.Liam reached out and caught her wrist, stopping her."Not turning is still better," he said calmly. "In places like that, once an outbreak starts, the ones who suffer aren't the p
