Chapter 667

Hugh White
A man sat off to the side collecting payment, the money changing hands with a steady rustling sound.

Some people paid with grain. Others handed over crystal cores.

"I want two pounds of ribs."

"I'll take a pound from the hip."

"Give me the whole thigh."

The woman on the chopping block bled steadily, her body trembling as pieces of her were carved away and sold.

Her eyes were wide open.

At first, they burned with pain and disbelief, but as the blade kept falling again and again, that light

  • The Endgame Chronicles   Chapter 740

    Hayley stood in front of a towering iron gate, easily over ten feet high, grand enough to feel like the entrance to a fortress. Even the guard booths looked like military-grade sentry posts.But there wasn't a single competent guard left inside.Her gaze settled on one of the booths with its door hanging open.The main gate was still locked, but the booth door was broken. Both the front and back booth doors had been wrecked, and one of them was hanging halfway off its frame."Through the guard booth!"Hayley jumped in first. Once inside, she made it into Clearwater Residences without trouble. She scanned the area, her eyes landing on a stalled car near the entrance.She ran over and grabbed the car door.Bang!A zombie's hand slammed against the window.There was still a zombie inside.It was a man in his 30s, dressed in a sharp suit and tie. Before the apocalypse, he had probably been one of the city's elite.Now, the zombie's face was corpse-pale, its cloudy eyes locked on

    An hour later, everyone had caught their breath.Hayley had also finished setting up a small trap.It was around 2 p.m.The sky was overcast, the light outside dim. It looked like rain could come at any moment.Hayley decided they couldn't wait any longer. No matter what, Clearwater Residences would be safer than staying here. "Get ready. We're moving.""Got it!"Everyone snapped to attention, eyes sharp. They gripped whatever they had managed to find: chair legs, broken pieces of metal, anything they could use as a weapon.During that hour, they had all scavenged for something to hold onto.Hayley looked out at the clusters of zombies still wandering nearby and pulled on a thin line in her hand.The line stretched deep into the building. About 100 yards away, a gunshot cracked.Bang!The zombies outside turned instantly, rushing toward the sound.Hayley watched the crowd thin, waiting for the right moment.At the same time, a loud crash exploded from the lobby behind them

    Hayley walked through the empty building, her footsteps echoing in the hollow space.She was already thinking about where they should go next.They were in the busiest stretch of Somervale, right along the Clearbrook River. Before everything fell apart, both sides of the river had been packed with famous attractions, massive shopping centers, high-end office towers, and foreign embassies.Right now, she was standing inside one of those landmark buildings.If they wanted to survive, they needed more than just a safe place. They needed a way out.The Sovereign Academy would come back in three days to pick them up. Wherever they hid, it had to be somewhere they could actually leave from.If they buried themselves underground, no one was getting them out. They needed somewhere secure and accessible.Hayley made her way up to the second floor and stepped toward a window, looking out over the river. Her eyes settled on a tower about 500 yards away.The Somervale Financial Center.At

    Emerson knew that he was dead meat.There was no way out of a place like this.Regret hit him all at once. Why had he come here? Worse, why had he dragged his wife into this with him? Now they were both trapped, and neither of them was getting out alive.Just as he braced for it, the zombie behind him stopped.Not just that one. All around him, every zombie froze in place, as if they had slammed into something invisible.Emerson stood there, stunned, staring over his shoulder.Tyler, Barnaby, and the others were just as shaken, watching as the zombies were completely held back.Wave after wave of them surged forward, a dense tide crashing toward them.And yet, every single one was stopped. Not a single zombie managed to break through the invisible barrier.They followed the source of the power and looked toward the one using the gifts.There stood Hayley, one hand raised, calm and unhurried. There was a quiet composure in her expression, the kind that made them want to drop

    Dark clouds pressed low over the sky. October winds whipped through Somervale, strong and restless. The wind rolled in from the sea, threading through the high-rises and kicking up piles of trash at every intersection.A four-year-old newspaper lifted from the debris and slapped against the dusty window of an abandoned car.This city, frozen in death for four years, was loud again."Raargh!""Raargh!""Raargh!"Hordes of zombies poured out from every direction: streets, apartment blocks, and residential zones.Somervale had once been Henerland's premier international city. Dense and sprawling, its footprint rivaled places like Aecraton, but its population had been 20 times larger.Before the outbreak, more than 20 million people lived here. When everything fell apart, the entire city turned into a sea of death.Not a single living person was left. Not one survivor.Somervale belonged to the dead now.Zombies flooded the streets like a rising tide. Every road, every corner, w

    Hayley finished speaking and jumped.She dove straight from the helicopter toward the wide river below.Griffin followed right behind her. As soon as he jumped, he grabbed onto her leg. Barnaby, Tyler, and the rest came after them, one by one, each grabbing onto the next, hands or legs locking them together.As they reached the stretch of river, Hayley waved. Everyone pulled their parachutes open.Splash!Splash!Seconds later, all of them landed safely near the middle of the river.Back in the helicopter, the others saw all seven of them make it into the water without a problem, and their eyes lit up."Go, go, go! Follow them! Jump into the river!""Yeah, the river's safer!""Fifty-nine seconds remaining. Fifty-eight seconds.""We're out of time. Move!"The countdown overhead kept dropping.No one hesitated anymore. They all started jumping.After hitting the water, Hayley and her group swam hard for shore. By the time they climbed out, more parachutes were dropping on

    Hayley was only halfway through her cigarette when she heard footsteps outside."Who the hell is that woman, anyway? Why is everyone from Base K1 so polite to her? Why are they spoiling her so much?""No idea. Wallace said she's some small base leader.""So what if she is? She's just a woman. Wha

    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 fe

    The pot of steaming camp stew was packed with potatoes, carrots, onions, beef chunks, bacon strips, smoked sausage, meatballs, canned ham, and whatever else they could throw in.It was almost all meat.Liam's group wasn't empty-handed, either. They cooked some rice on the spot.Ever since they to

    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 targ
