The next day, the deep-red sun rose over the horizon.Its warm, bright light spilled across what was once a world of human civilization, a world that had created countless miracles.But now, the human world was in ruins.There were no more breakfast diners opening at dawn, no morning joggers on the streets, no cleaners tidying up the roads, and no people rushing about for work.The city was filled only with endless hordes of zombies and the occasional sharp cries."Ahhh!"In the outskirts of the city, inside a massive factory complex, a four-story building's roof echoed with a piercing scream.Thud!A stainless steel pipe slammed down onto a zombie, sending it crashing back to the roof.But it was already too late to hold the line."Raarh...""Grrrhh…"A wave of zombies crawled up a dirt mound, climbing over one another in layers.After stacking themselves through the night, they finally reached the factory rooftop.The first zombie to pop up was knocked down with a singl

Julian was the first to react. "So… What do you want us to do?""Submit to me."Hayley stood in front of them all, sharp and commanding."I can't promise to restore your lives to how they were before the apocalypse, but if you submit to me, I'll make sure you become the happiest base residents in the world."Leonard stood firmly behind her, a solid and unwavering presence. A natural aura of strength radiated from Hayley, drawing everyone toward her without them even realizing it."Then I'm in! My wife and I will follow you!" Julian was the first to agree. He grabbed Rowena's hand and climbed down from the generator.They had no reason to refuse.Zombies were everywhere. There was nowhere to go and no home to return to. They had no food, no job, and were constantly at risk of being attacked by the undead.Of course, they would choose the safest place to settle.And if it weren't for Hayley saving them, they wouldn't have survived another minute.She was strong and powerful. Ju

The zombie, having missed its attack, lifted its grotesque head and let out a feral roar at Hayley and Leonard."Raaaarh!!"This was a fresh zombie.Thick, bright-red pus dripped from its mouth. Half of its face had been chewed away, and the rest was horribly disfigured, as if it had been smashed face-first into the ground. Its skull looked crushed and broken. White brain matter, mixed with black-red fluids, dripped down its face in thick globs.It opened its gaping maw, the entire head looking like it could fall apart at any second. Its bloodied, mangled flesh made it look straight out of a horror movie—not to mention its gut had been completely hollowed out."I've seen ugly, but this… This is next-level hideous," Hayley muttered, feeling a wave of nausea.It was beyond savage. What had this zombie gone through to end up like this?Then, she looked closer.No way. This was the same earth-element Gifted who had messed with them yesterday and gotten killed instead!"Boss, that'

After taking down the level-3 Gifted zombie, Hayley and Leonard worked together to clear out the remaining scattered zombies in the factory.Julian and the others ran around, collecting every crystal core they could find.Hayley didn't worry about them keeping any for themselves. First, they didn't even know what the cores did, so no one would think about hoarding them. Second, and more importantly, Hayley had mental-variant gifts.She could sense the color of each crystal core. If anyone tried to hide one, she'd know instantly."Ms. Reid, here's everything we found!"Julian handed over all the crystal cores they'd gathered.Hayley scanned the 16 people and confirmed that no one was hiding anything. She nodded with satisfaction.In total, they had collected 1,208 crystal cores, plus one level-3 crystal core."Count up how many each person collected, and give them points based on that," she instructed."Points?""Yes. Come with me to my base, and I'll explain how the points wo

"All residents who join my base will use a points system," Hayley announced. "Points can be exchanged for food, water, daily supplies, and all sorts of tools."She pulled out the list she had given Anthony earlier and told him to post it on the bulletin board in the villa area.The list detailed exactly how many points each item was worth. One pound of pasta was one point, a bag of salt one point, a single egg one point, a pound of pork ten points, a live chicken fifty points…There was also a list showing how to earn points and the exchange rates for handing in items."You can exchange your crops and harvests for points. On top of that, killing zombies and collecting crystal cores will earn you rewards!"Hayley held up a crystal core for everyone to see."Julian, I had you record the number of cores your group collected earlier. Each one counts as one point to give you a head start. From now on, any crystal cores you hunt yourselves will be worth ten points each!"Julian and th
