All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

"Damn it! You should feel lucky I even looked at you! How dare you run! Run again and see what happens!"A hard slap landed on the girl's face. She instantly looked like a frightened little lamb, her eyes turning red. She opened her mouth to scream, but a hand clamped over it at once.The man shoved her into a corner and started yanking at her thin shirt.Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by a huge hand.In the next second, he was lifted like a toy and thrown away with a heavy crash.Everyone froze when they saw a towering man, well over six feet tall, covered in tattoos from his neck down, standing there like a storm about to break."Thomas!" another man cried out his name.Smack!Thomas slapped him across the face without a word."Are you crazy? How dare you hit me!"Smack!The angry guy clearly believed in one thing, and one thing only: slap first, talk later."Are you out of your mind? You're dead!"Smack, smack, smack!Three more loud slaps landed in a row.The man fi

Half an hour later, everyone arrived back at the wholesale district.All the vehicles stopped at the front gate like before. Under Liam's lead, the teams went in one after another.The first floor had already been cleared out. Everyone moved carefully up to the second floor, which was just as dark.Every store was locked tight. Rows of shops stretched in every direction, all neat and connected. Under the red emergency lights, a few unsteady shadows shuffled toward them.There were even fewer zombies here than downstairs.Yesterday, there had been more than ten on the first floor. On the second floor, there were only four or five left.Crack! Thud!Once Liam's team wiped out the scattered zombies, they got straight to hauling supplies.This floor was still filled with cheap women's clothing. Hayley told Leonard to keep helping carry things while she went to find Liam."How are we splitting this?" she asked. Liam looked at her. "Pick what you like. Whatever you take is yours."

Liam nodded. "Alright. Starting now, you're on guard duty. If you see zombies, you deal with them. You're not allowed to move any supplies."Ted panicked when he heard that.Fight zombies?No way! He was always in the middle of the team, protected by everyone. He never fought on the front line.But this time, Wallace snapped just to save himself. "Move it!"No matter how unwilling he was, Ted still had to go stand watch by the stairwell.He was an inventory-variant Gifted. Normally, he was treated like treasure. Now, he was reduced to killing zombies.After Wallace's group was dealt with, Hayley went back to hauling supplies.With their inventory-variant Gifted taken out, the rest of the group didn't have to worry about Wallace's team stealing anything anymore.And from that moment on, wherever Hayley went, Wallace's people stayed as far away as possible.They didn't want her to notice them again.This made things very convenient for Hayley.She took nine out of ten items

Things were lively over at Base K1, completely different with Shield Base.Shield Base didn't bring much food. Everyone just boiled some water and made instant noodles, one bowl per person, and called it a meal.The smell drifting over from next door made it even harder to swallow.If it had only been Base K1 eating over there, Wallace would definitely have gone over with a thick face and suggested they eat together.His people could have offered some noodles and begged for a little broth and meat in return.But Hayley was there.After getting put in his place by her, Wallace didn't dare say a single word. He could only stare at them eating real food while his own people slurped instant noodles.After everyone was fed, it was time to rest.Base K1 split into two shifts. Half stayed up to guard the first half of the night, and the other half slept. Then, they would switch.Naturally, Hayley didn't have to do anything at all. After treating them to such a good meal, everyone tre

This was the first time Hayley had ever talked to Thomas, and she honestly didn't expect that he didn't smoke at all.Everything she knew about him came from what people in the base said. They claimed Thomas had gotten into trouble as a teenager and spent years in a juvenile facility. After he got out, he ended up fighting in underground boxing rings.They said he barely talked, had a bad temper, and hit people whenever he felt like it. No one could really communicate with him.And with all those tattoos, he looked scary enough that everyone assumed he wasn't a decent person. At the very least, they thought smoking and drinking had to be part of his life."It's fine. You can take one of mine," Hayley said, holding the pack out again."I really don't smoke. My sister hated the smell," Thomas replied."You have a sister?" Hayley put the cigarettes away and took out two pieces of chewing gum instead.This time, Thomas accepted.He carefully unwrapped the gum, popped it into his
