All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Ah! Honey! Honey, it's me!"The zombie granny lunged, ripping into the woman's stomach. The creature tore greedily, shredding her insides.The last thing she saw was a car speeding away, leaving a trail of exhaust behind—the same one that hadn't stopped.Hayley caught a quick glimpse in the rearview mirror of the woman being attacked, then looked away immediately.Kindness? Helping others?That would only exist in heaven.Here, it was hell.Hayley slammed the gas.Whoosh! Vroom! Bang, bang!She barreled forward, but the road ahead was a nightmare.Vehicles and people were running the wrong way, straight toward her.At the next intersection, several cars had flipped, blocking almost the entire lane. As Hayley weaved through, she saw groups of zombies clustered around the open doors of overturned cars, gnawing on the drivers and passengers. Screams ripped through the air as blood gushed everywhere.The zombies smelled her moving car and started chasing it like fresh prey.A

Hayley didn't even spare the young man a glance and just kept running."Honey, why the hell would you ask her for help? She's killing people—so many people! We should call the cops and have her arrested!""Shut up!" the man barked.Seeing Hayley slipping down a narrow alley without even looking back, he grabbed the woman's hand and hustled her after him.Bang! Bang! Bang!After clearing five zombies, Hayley finally got out of the hospital area.She was in a small alley through a residential neighborhood. Most people were still trapped inside their homes, so there wasn't a huge outbreak here yet.Hayley stuck to the greenbelt and other empty areas, stepping over or smashing any stray garbage-collector zombies or morning-run zombies with a single swing of her shovel.She kept her eyes peeled for a vehicle.But luck wasn't on her side—she hadn't seen a single one.And behind her, two stragglers had attached themselves."Honey, this road's impossible. I can't run in heels!" the

It was the area near the hotel Hayley had escaped from that morning.The whole area was cordoned off with a huge police line. Inside the perimeter, officers were using smoke grenades and other dispersal tools, desperately trying to control the crowd and stop riots, but it wasn't working.Through the thick smoke, you could see desperate people swarming and hear screams echoing from all directions.Cars were overturned, smashed, and abandoned. Even ambulances were trapped in the middle, and nobody knew where the medics were.Clearly, after the chaos started, a bunch of people tried to escape, but they didn't make it.Police shouted at anyone trying to get too close to the line. "Move back! Get out!" "This scene is horrific," the reporter said, tense and serious as he stared at the chaos. "We don't know the reason yet, but let's try to get a word from someone who knows."Just then, he spotted an injured person emerging from the smoke and rushed toward them with his camera."Sir,

After all, the rescue convoys on the radio wouldn't just head to people's houses and get them, no matter where they were.No, there was only one rescue route.The broadcasts would just point out a few relatively safe areas and tell people to gather there. Then, the convoy would pick them up as it passed.That plan sounded dangerous, and the Reids were especially resistant when they realized the rescue point was still pretty far away.What if something happened on the way? Eleanor was old, and Sue was pregnant. What would happen to them?Hayley, as usual, tried to reason with them. She explained that chasing temporary comfort wasn't worth it. Only by getting to the rescue point could they truly be safe.There would be government-issued food, a proper place for Sue to give birth, and safe housing for Eleanor.Most importantly, Hayley guessed this rescue wouldn't last forever. If they didn't go now, they might not even be accepted later.After a long discussion, the Reids finally
