All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Just then, Hayley saw everyone who had charged forward suddenly turn back and start running the other way.They were firing off the last of their flash grenades and ammo, covering Liam and Nadia as the two broke through the crowd.Through the chaos, Liam caught sight of Hayley. His eyes lit up, as if he was silently thanking her for the warning.Because of her, they had all made it out alive.Liam really did owe her one. If it weren't for Hayley, he probably wouldn't have made it through the day.This mission was one of the highest-level operations under Base K1's triple S-class order. Liam had been sent to a pharmaceutical research facility to retrieve old data and lab instruments that might contain clues about the zombie virus, records that existed from before the outbreak.The goal was to uncover the secret of how the energy within the zombie crystal cores could be extracted.Before the outbreak, the government had already detected traces of this strange dormant virus in seve

"Countdown: 29 seconds!""Raargh…"Under the red alarm lights, a zombie in tattered patient clothes closest to them lunged forward with a gaping mouth.Bang!Just as the zombie leapt, a bullet tore through the center of its forehead. A charred pea-sized hole marked its forehead, and at the back of its skull, a bowl-sized crater opened up.Dark red blood, mixed with pale gray brain matter, burst from the back of the zombie's head. Its skull cracked like soft pudding, the contents splattering apart as if crushed by a sudden, brutal force. Under the impact, chunks of flesh and bone sprayed outward.In an instant, the zombie's skull was a messy, bloody crater. Blood, brain matter, and shattered bone were fused into a grotesque mass.One shot to the head!The headshot zombie fell stiffly to the ground.Liam bellowed, "Push forward!"At his command, every special forces soldier on site surged toward the exit at full speed.Bang, bang, bang!Bang, bang, bang, bang!Bang, bang, ba

"Move it! Now!"A lazy, sharp voice cut through the air like thunder.Everyone froze, staring at Hayley as she swung her palm, unleashing her impressive water element powers.Hayley was a Gifted, too! And a strong one, at that!Even Leonard, locked out and biting his nails, was stunned.He couldn't believe his boss was Gifted, too. How many hidden skills did Hayley even have?Bang!Crash!The water wall exploded outward. In an instant, every zombie surrounding them was blasted back by high-pressure water."Countdown: seven seconds!""Run! Move!"Derek and the others snapped out of their shock. There was no time to gawk.They stumbled forward in pairs or threes, supporting one another as they sprinted during the final countdown."Countdown: five seconds!""Four seconds!""Three seconds!"Hayley, already faster than the rest, unleashed her powers, holding off zombies while racing toward the main door.She quickly swiped the card. The door required two cards to enter, but

"Boss!""Boss!""Ms. Reid!"As soon as Hayley stepped out, Derek and the others swarmed around her.The way they looked at her was pure fan mania!Today, Hayley revealed a hidden water-element gift and took everyone by surprise. None of them had imagined she was a Gifted, let alone that her gift was that powerful.While most people were only able to conjure small fireballs or water spheres, she had waved her hand and summoned a full water wall!How could someone be that strong? She was too impressive!After everything that had happened today, they were completely convinced of one fact: Hayley truly deserved her title as the Boss, the best of the best!They were nobody compared to her."You all okay?" Hayley asked casually."All good!"Though they were battered and their combat suits were torn to shreds, not a single person had been bitten by a zombie.Considering they had lost some comrades on B1, surviving B2 without a single casualty was nothing short of miraculous.Thi

Hayley greeted her 19 residents and parked at an empty villa. At that moment, Cloudia bounced over. "Ms. Reid! You're here! I was just about to come find you.""Find me for what?""To exchange supplies! There's so much!" Cloudia said in her soft, high-pitched voice. She held out a piece of paper. It was packed with a detailed list.Cloudia grinned at Hayley. "By the way, Ms. Reid, when are you going to open another market? Your last market was so much fun! I've been waiting forever. I really want to buy more of your treats!"Hayley smiled and tugged gently at the little girl's pigtails. "From now on, whenever you want something, you can just get it."She waved, and Leonard got down from the truck. It was the same delivery truck she had seized on the highway last time.Leonard started unloading immediately, and the residents nearby rushed over to help."Ms. Reid, what is this?""What's all this?""This is our very own Haylight Base store!" Hayley announced. Everyone froze
