All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

"There's also Haylight Base. They came with me."Liam glanced toward Hayley. "That's Hayley Reid, the one running Haylight Base."Everyone turned their heads and saw Hayley and Leonard sitting cross-legged on the curb with Scarlett, snacking on cashews and chatting.The crowd felt speechless.Yeah, the whole scene felt a little off.All these other groups were on edge, treating this multi-base meeting like some high-stakes summit. Meanwhile, those three were over there hanging out and cracking cashews like it was a lazy Sunday.Liam already knew what Hayley was like. "Let's go over and say hi.""No need." Alex shot a quick look toward Hayley, his cold, unreadable eyes flicking away almost instantly before he turned back to everyone in front of him."Everyone, line up and register. Write down your people's information. Later, we'll divide the supplies according to the amount of work you put in on the road. Of course, Captain Caldwell, you're exempt. We'll stick to the terms we

"Raarhh! Arghh!"A short, elderly zombie staggered forward. His blood-soaked clothes still faintly resembled one of those linen jackets old men wore while playing chess in the park. His shiny bald spot stretched all the way to the back of his head.Even so, it was obvious he had been a well-groomed old gentleman when he was alive. The few hairs he had left were styled into a neat little puff behind his head like a trimmed garden bush. And right in the center of his front teeth gleamed a big gold crown.Screeeech!That golden tooth scraped across Hayley's window with a long, sharp, metal-on-glass shriek that made her skin crawl.Thick black blood smeared across the entire windshield. The old zombie clawed and slammed wildly at the glass, pounding against the car again and again.On the third hit… Bang!A bullet drilled straight into the right side of the zombie's skull. The impact jerked its head violently sideways, twisting its neck to a sharp ninety-degree angle before it

Scarlett lifted her cracked, pale lips and let out a raspy laugh.As she laughed, her eyes drifted toward the car that hadn't moved once during the whole battle.The woman inside was no longer sitting upright. The interior was quiet, as if everyone there had gone to sleep.Scarlett's gaze darkened.Had she imagined it earlier? Why did that zombie stop? Was it because of Hayley?Inside the car, Hayley yawned, rubbing her temple from overusing her mental energy before drifting into a deep sleep.Of course, the zombie battle wasn't without casualties.Across the four small bases, five people died. One poor soul was killed by friendly fire.Four were bitten. Three of those immediately jumped into the zombie horde and fought until the end, giving their bases a chance to survive.The last one tried to hide it. By the time Liam's unit finished clearing the perimeter and returned, he was already mutating."Don't kill me. P-Please…don't kill me. My… My wife's still at home. She's wait

"An apology?" Hayley stretched her arms in a long, lazy motion. She looked at the man in front of her, reached out, and patted his chest in a soothing way. "Alright. Tell me exactly which sentence offended you, and I'll repeat it."The man was dumbfounded.At this point, he wasn't just angry anymore. He was on the verge of tears.How could someone like this exist? She was so damn infuriating! Derek and the others, who had rushed over, took one look and thought the same thing.How familiar. Yet another poor soul getting steamrolled by Hayley.Derek himself had almost cried from frustration once.The other bases watching nearby were fuming as well.If anyone could ignite a whole crowd's fury with just a few sentences, it would definitely be this little menace named Hayley."Haylight Base is so arrogant!" someone from Victory Base snapped."You only brought two people, and neither of you fought. That's ridiculous!" someone from Future Base added."We're not gonna let this

Grain reserves were usually built far from populated areas, and this one was no exception. The whole surrounding region was deserted, with not a single car in sight along the lonely highway.Their convoy moved smoothly across the open road. When the sun dipped low and dusk began to swallow the sky, they finally saw them.One massive cylindrical granary after another rose from the earth like giant steel towers.The national grain reserve. They had made it!The moment everyone saw those enormous silos, excitement burst through the group.They made it. They actually made it to the granary!They were finally going to have real food.Following Base K1's lead, all the vehicles accelerated and rammed open the entrance gate, stopping before the ten huge cylindrical silos lined up in a row.The grain reserve was fully mechanized. Normally, only ten workers managed the whole place, one per silo.Other than that, no one lived here."We're here!""This is the grain reserve! Think ab
