All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

A burst of mist exploded through the air, and every zombie leaping toward them was blasted backward by the force.A member of Future Base, who was being attacked, watched in shock as the zombie clawing for his heart suddenly froze an inch from his chest. Its sharp talons had already torn through his thick tactical jacket when a wall of condensed water blocked the strike.In the next moment, that water wall shattered into countless droplets. The droplets, thin as needles and moving at high speed, sliced across the zombie's arm like water blades. Each bead of water hit with the force of a bullet, punching cleanly through the iron-hard skin of the zombies.The power was unbelievable.Even the huge zombie in front of them was knocked back several yards. Its swollen, bloated body looked like soaked and collapsing white bread as Hayley's water droplets punched crater after crater into its flesh.After stumbling back a few steps, it stopped. Its entire body dripped with cloudy, dar

Bang, bang, bang!With Hayley and Leonard working their gifts together at full power, they wiped out most of the zombies in the blink of an eye. Only when two or three zombies were left did Liam's group snap out of it and hurry to help. Some fired their guns, while others used their gifts.Within minutes, all ten of the granary staff zombies were taken down.For the people who had fallen into the rice pit, everyone rushed to activate the granary's machinery to pull them out. By the time everything wrapped up, it was already past 9 p.m.Over a dozen people had fallen in, but only four were pulled out alive. The rest had been bitten the moment they went under, turning into zombies almost instantly. The worst was Paul, the first one dragged in. When they finally retrieved him, he was nothing but a skeleton. Everything else had been eaten clean by the starving zombies.Malcolm looked at the remains of his teammate with a dark, heavy expression.Paul had been from his hometown a

"Captain Reid, are you joking?" Alex's voice was icy, and the cold anger pouring off him could freeze the air.Hayley smiled kindly. "You're still a bit green. I bet you thought you had this handled. Are you feeling upset now?"A vein throbbed at the back of Alex's head. "What do you think?""Alright," Hayley said.Slowly, she stood up. "Since you're still young and green, I'll teach you something. Let's use your own rules and see if you can accept the result. You said we should divide supplies based on contribution, so tell me: what exactly did Hope Base contribute to this mission? Did you help during the zombie siege yesterday, or did you kill a single zombie today?"Alex's face darkened like a storm. "We provided the map.""Answer my question." Hayley's gaze burned straight through him. "Did Hope Base kill a single zombie? One. Any one at all."Alex's lips pressed into a thin line. He couldn't say a word.Of course, they hadn't killed any zombies. That kind of dangerous wo

"Aren't you afraid of offending Hope Base?" Liam asked.Hayley lifted her eyes and gave him a sideways glance, then let out a laugh. "Wrong question. You should be asking whether Hope Base is afraid of offending me. Since they've crossed me, they're done!"Liam stayed silent, but he agreed.In a base civilization, survival rules were basically the same as living in a tribe.The strong ruled.Since Hayley had the power, she could stomp on Hope Base all she wanted. The stronger she was, the more others would fear her. If she were weak, Hope Base would absolutely overpower her. This wasn't a world where stepping back brought peace. If she stepped back once, Hope Base would take ten steps forward.By asserting absolute dominance today, especially in front of a profit-driven group like Hope Base, Hayley ensured they would label her as extremely dangerous and never provoke her lightly again.That way, they wouldn't actively pick a fight with her again.There was also the issue

The massive granary in front of them was completely empty.Not just the first granary. The last one was exactly the same. Not a single grain of rice remained.The place was so empty that their footsteps echoed inside it.Alex felt as if something had slammed into his chest.Had she actually taken everything?But they had only brought a limited number of trucks! Even overloaded, those trucks could only haul one granary's worth at most.Yet, all the main stockpiles were gone. Every last bit had been hauled away by Hayley.Alex's breath caught. A far more terrifying realization hit him.That woman wasn't just a water-element Gifted. She also had inventory abilities. And her inventory was enormous…terrifyingly so.The realization made Alex's insides churn. The shock went bone-deep, spreading until it swallowed every ounce of pride he had.All his arrogance and confidence were worthless in front of Hayley.Alex Kirk had been a chosen one since birth.He worked through Olympiad p
