All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Driving into the tunnel, Derek turned to Hayley with a proud smile. "Captain Caldwell is now the deputy director of the base!"Hayley's eyes lit up."Let me tell you something. Captain Caldwell's grandfather is a big shot in the military. Last time we came back, Captain Caldwell and his grandfather went to meet the director, Nadia's father. After a half-hour meeting, the director appointed Captain Caldwell as the deputy director. Now, the director only handles production and daily life inside the base. Everything else is under our Captain Caldwell's control!"Hayley froze for a second, then burst out laughing.Amazing, just amazing!She hadn't expected that her unplanned rescue would completely shake up Base K1's power structure.In her past life, Liam and the others must have been screwed over by Nadia and killed during the mission. The military's influence was cut off, and with the machine Nadia brought back, Base K1's management was completely controlled by Nadia's father.

Of course, the base also offered plenty of jobs for residents. People who helped build and maintain the base earned extra points, which they could trade at the dining hall for food.Roughly speaking, a grown man working a full day could earn about one point, which was enough for a slice of white bread.Under these scarce conditions, Base K1 ran tight every day.Hayley followed Liam to their second mess hall.The first mess hall was for the general public. The second one was reserved for base soldiers and administrators.Ding! Ding! Ding!Liam swiped his ID at the machine three times. The first swipe was free, but the next two deducted points. Each swipe cost three points.Soon, three plates of whole wheat bread and hot soup were served. The soup was a simple vegetable broth with a few meatballs.Even so, this meal was clearly better than what the public mess served. This was the special dining area."Ms. Reid, our conditions are a little rough. Hope you don't mind," Liam sai

When Bernard and Lucy found Philip, the zombie virus had just erupted. Bernard had sensed something was wrong. Carrying the unconscious Philip on his back, he hid with Lucy and a hospitalized Eleanor. Their luck was incredible. They locked themselves inside the hospital's pharmacy and refused to open the door, no matter who came begging for help. By some miracle, the Reids survived the early days of the apocalypse.That wasn't the weirdest thing. Since they stayed in an integrative medicine center, it not only had modern medications but also herbal medicine. To curb hunger, they lived off herbs instead of food. Philip, who had nearly been reduced to a vegetable, actually recovered.They missed the first wave of rescue, but they ran into a survivor team scavenging for supplies. The Reids clung to that team, and eventually, they made their way to Base K1. Luck seemed to follow them wherever they went.Of course, this time around, they suffered terribly without Hayley's pro

"Captain Caldwell, how do you usually handle stuff like that in your base?" Hayley asked."The internal management isn't really my business," Liam said, "but if someone dies, the killer dies, too."Hayley couldn't help but laugh.Karma sure had a funny way of circling back.In this apocalypse, everything was scarce, especially medical resources. Bernard and Eleanor, already riddled with problems, had little chance of surviving after being beaten like that.Hayley hadn't expected this ending for them. They were killed and abandoned by the son and grandson whom they had spoiled their whole lives. Their whole family was tied together in one cruel cycle. It was truly poetic justice.Being the "good person" she was, Hayley couldn't stand by. She said firmly, "Captain Caldwell, you'd better catch those two people fast. Look at these two. They definitely won't last long. You need to lock them up together now. If something happens later, at least the victims get justice. You can't

Hope Base's convoy was entirely white.It looked like a fleet from a professional corporate team.And that wasn't far from the truth.As one of the three largest bases, Hope Base had absorbed a huge number of researchers early on. These first members all came from a massive monopoly tech research company, Dawn Holdings.Dawn Holdings was a semi-state-owned giant with more than 20 research institutes under its umbrella. Their work covered medicine, medical devices, life sciences, and even some military and defense research.Before the apocalypse, Dawn Holdings was the biggest company in Brookville.Their headquarters straddled the border of Brookville and Crestford, with a sprawling campus and a fully self-contained ecosystem. Before the zombie outbreak, they employed over 100 thousand people, and the lowest education level was master's degree students.It was truly a gathering place for elites.When the apocalypse began, Dawn Holdings survived the initial zombie chaos, riots, a
