"How much is he selling them for?" Hayley asked Liam."One vial for one ton of food plus ten winter coats," he replied.Hayley couldn't hold back her shock.Damn it, Alex had really gone too far this time.No, the point was, Hayley wished she had charged way more!This was an insane loss for her!How could he dare charge something that outrageous?!"Are you going to sell it to him?" Liam asked."Of course, I am!" Hayley snapped. "But it's going to be a thousand crystal cores, and one of them has to be from a mental-variant mutant zombie. Otherwise, he's not getting a single vial!"Hayley was unbelievably annoyed. She could tolerate it when she wasn't making money herself, but seeing someone she hated make a fortune was unbearable.It made her want to lose it."I want you to spread the word," Hayley added. "My evolution serum can be bought by every base, 20 crystal cores per dose. Except Hope Base. For them, it's that special price."She wasn't just going to squeeze Alex. Sh

Chapter 222

For the past three days, Hayley had been staying inside the base, practicing her gifts over and over again.All the crystal cores from Liam and Alex had arrived.After hearing Liam pass along the message, Alex spent the whole night thinking about it before finally agreeing to Hayley's terms.He gave her 1,000 crystal cores, along with the only crystal core their base had ever recovered from a mental-variant mutant zombie.He wanted to see for himself whether Hayley's evolution serum was really as incredible as everyone claimed.So, he personally went to Base K1 to inspect the product. If it turned out to be of bad quality, he would return it.But the moment Alex saw the vial Liam brought out, he froze.The serum inside was unbelievably pure. There wasn't even the slightest trace of contamination.Absolutely none.The purity was so high that it made his head spin.When he took it back and ran lab tests, he was even more stunned.There were truly zero side effects!Zombie cry

"Alright, go on. Get back inside," Hayley said, waving him off."God, I promise I will live a good and honest life, eating well-balanced meals, as long as you keep my boss and my colleague safe out there," Robert prayed earnestly.Hayley and Leonard held back their urge to roll their eyes.Derek blinked when he heard that. He looked at Hayley. "Boss, when did you pick up someone like that?""Just recruited him," Hayley said casually."Not bad. He's dressed pretty well, too. Two brand-new down jackets.""Should've joined me back then. Do you regret it now?"Derek fell silent.Yes, he was drowning in regret! He tightened his thin jacket around himself, stepped on the gas, and drove off.Their vehicle soon reached the main road outside Base K1. Liam's convoy was already waiting there.When Liam saw them arrive, the convoy moved out at once and headed straight for the wholesale clothing district.Days of heavy snow had slowed the zombies down, and many were stuck under drifts.

Chapter 224

When Wallace heard that, the friendly smile on his face stiffened.Liam was no fool.The old system was gone, and the entire world had entered the era of base rule.In this short, chaotic age where every base acted like its own kingdom, no one had any responsibility to support anyone else for free.Every base was just trying to survive in a zombie-filled world and keep going one more day.Even Liam, who had once worked for the military, no longer represented anything official after turning his group into Base K1. His priority was now simple: protect Base K1. That meant protecting it at all costs.He could take in survivors out of kindness. He could try to look after smaller bases during joint operations. He could help when he had room to.However, everything had to be built on one foundation: Base K1 came first.There was no way Liam would let his own people go hungry or freeze just because Wallace had sweet-talked him for a few minutes.Not a chance."I'm sorry. I spoke ou

"This is Captain Hayley Reid from Haylight Base," Liam explained."Oh, so you're Captain Reid from Haylight Base. I have heard so much about you!" Wallace said with fake enthusiasm as he reached out to shake Hayley's hand.Hayley glanced at his outstretched hand, then casually shoved her hands into her pockets. "Hold on. Where exactly did you 'hear so much' about me?""Uh… From the radio, I think.""I've never sent out any broadcasts," Hayley said calmly. "So which station did you hear me on?"Wallace froze completely. He had obviously never heard of the low-profile Haylight Base at all."Captain Caldwell just mentioned you," he admitted weakly."Then why say you've heard so much about me? That's just fake," Hayley said bluntly. "No wonder you tried to play Captain Caldwell the moment you showed up. Captain Goodwin, you really should try being sincere for once."Wallace said nothing.He lowered his head. The fake, smiling mask on his face vanished, replaced by a dark, stiff ex

Chapter 226

Crack!A flash of lightning hit the charging zombie. Black smoke rose from its head as it froze in place. Then, it tipped forward and collapsed into the snow, completely lifeless.The moment Liam's lightning gift went out, fire orbs, water orbs, and flying metal blades followed right after it.In seconds, the scattered zombies around them were wiped out.In the zombie age, guns had serious limits.Just like the time Hayley entered Aecraton, if a blade or a gift could solve it, no one used firearms. Once guns went off, they would draw every zombie in the city. Such weapons were only useful in sealed rooms, desperate charges, or full-scale zombie swarms.After clearing the entrance, Liam led the team straight toward the mall doors.Hayley strolled along behind him and watched as Liam's squad pulled out tools and went to work on the entrance.A few quick movements later, the doors opened quietly with barely any noise.Once again, Hayley felt that going on missions with Liam was

Chapter 227

Liam was nothing like that idiot, Alex, who nearly got everyone killed last time.Once everything in front of them went quiet, he gave the order, "Clear one shop at a time."Just then, Wallace stepped forward. "Captain Caldwell, we'll start with the back two rows.""Hold it."At that moment, the "justice-loving" Hayley stepped in."You and I haven't lifted a finger this whole time. Captain Caldwell has been doing all the work from start to finish. Now that it's time to move supplies, you suddenly rush forward? Here's my suggestion: everything goes on Base K1's trucks first. After all the supplies are safely moved, we split them then. I trust Captain Caldwell. Captain Goodwin, you trust him, too, right?"Wallace said nothing.When Liam heard that, he nearly wanted to lift Hayley off the ground and spin her around right there.What was going on with her today?She had his back the entire time.He was taken aback by how nice she was being today."I'll start," Hayley said. "Leon

Chapter 228

The convoy drove uphill until a cluster of factories and nearby houses came into view.Sharp wooden stakes formed rows around the settlement, wrapped tightly with thorny vines to serve as a crude defensive wall against zombies.Guards patrolled the fence line about every 30 feet. When they saw the vehicles returning, they quickly moved a large metal barricade blocking the road and let the convoy pass inside.Once they entered, they saw the open space in front of the main factory building packed with people.Everyone was waiting for Wallace and his group to come back.Shield Base was still in its early stages. There were about 200 people here. Other than those who had gone out to scavenge, nearly everyone was present.The base had started as a convoy of survivors who fled the city together. Most of these people had escaped with their families.The age range was wide. There were babies still nursing and elderly people in their seventies and eighties.The population was a complica

"Why didn't you let them go inside? It's freezing out here," Liam said, clearly unhappy."Everyone was so eager to welcome you. When they heard you were coming, they insisted on waiting outside, no matter how cold it was. Honestly, it breaks my heart," Wallace said with a smile.Just then, Hayley walked over at an easy pace."Breaks your heart? Or are you putting on a sad show on purpose? Look at all these footprints. Anyone with eyes can tell they've been standing out here for at least an hour or two. If you really felt bad, you'd at least start a few fires so they could warm up. You're just trying to make Captain Caldwell feel sorry for you, so he'll give you more supplies."Wallace almost came apart under Hayley's blunt words. He had never met anyone who tore his mask off so openly and humiliated him again and again as she did.Did this woman just have no social skills, or was she doing it on purpose?Even with his usual polite smile, Wallace could barely look at her. "Ms. Rei

Chapter 230

When there was something good, Hayley always thought of her own people first.She grabbed Leonard and sat down to eat right away.When Liam and the others saw that, he said, "Well… I guess we can eat, too.""Please, please, help yourselves! This was all prepared especially for you, Captain Caldwell," Wallace said with a stiff smile that didn't reach his eyes.Liam turned to the people behind him and said, "You all go eat, too."Derek and the others went to the second table.When Liam and Wallace sat at Hayley's table, the big plate of smoked bacon and canned ham was already divided up by Hayley and Leonard and piled into their bowls.All that was left was a pot of thin vegetable soup and a few sad-looking stir-fried greens.Hayley gave them a look, then stood up and went over to Derek's table. "Don't worry about us. We'll eat enough."Liam and Wallace were speechless.Hayley barely ate much herself. All the good stuff went straight into Leonard's bowl.Of course, it wasn't b
