All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

Hayley smiled.She liked smart people.The moment they met, both sides had already sized each other up.Monica was assessing them, and of course, Hayley was doing the same.Monica's base had fewer people than Hayley's. They barely had any weapons, and their Gifted were obvious under Hayley's perception abilities. On top of that, only 13 people had just returned.With a base this small, if Hayley wanted to make a move, they wouldn't even have the chance to fight back.The fact that Monica chose to step aside, keep her distance, and swallow the loss of Simon told Hayley everything she needed to know.Monica was rational and intelligent. She knew exactly how much strength she had and what she could handle. When you don't have absolute certainty, reckless moves only lead to disaster."I'll compensate you with 100 pounds of rice and 10 cases of instant noodles," Hayley said.In the apocalypse, they played by different rules. Residents were considered the property of the base leader

Monica heard the residents talking outside her room and fell into deep thought again.Could Haylight League really be trusted? If they followed Haylight League, would they really be able to eat properly, too?Just then, Derek came up to the third floor with a few people, carrying supplies.When the others saw what they brought, their eyes went wide again."It's rice!""And instant noodles!""Mom, I really wanna eat instant noodles!""Captain Fletcher, our boss asked us to deliver these to you," Derek called into the room. "Consider it compensation."Monica came out when she heard his voice. By the time she stepped outside, Derek and the others had already left, leaving a pile of supplies behind.This was Hayley's compensation for killing Simon.Hayley didn't actually have to give anything. Her strength alone was enough to silence them.But since relations weren't openly hostile and she still had plenty of supplies, she was willing to show some basic decency.She was trading

At this moment, on the third floor…"Danny, I accepted the supplies. Simon is dead, and he's not coming back. That's the end of it. Stop dwelling on it," Monica said. "Stop dwelling on it? That was my brother!" Danny roared.Before the apocalypse, Simon had never been a good person. He ran around with a pack of lowlifes, harassed people, picked fights, and relied on his family's money to cause endless trouble. His parents had been sent to the hospital more than once because of him, and he never cared.But when it came to his brother, Danny, he was different.Their parents left the family business to Danny. Simon never tried to fight Danny for it.Instead, Simon always told Danny that as long as Danny kept giving him money, he was fine relying on Danny forever.That rotten Simon gave his only shred of familial affection to his one and only brother."So what?" Monica snapped, turning to face Danny. "Does that mean Simon was innocent?"If he hadn't acted on his own and block

In just a few minutes, about 13 men stepped out from the crowd.They were all core fighters of Evergreen Base. These people were never ones Monica could truly control. They were held in check by Danny instead.Now that Danny had fallen out with her, there was no way they would follow Monica.Danny looked at the men willing to stand with him and let out a cold snort."Split the supplies. Most of them were brought back by us. You're not taking anything with you."Once he broke ties with Monica, he showed no mercy at all and started dividing up the resources.In the beginning, all supplies had come from inside Evergreen Mall, which meant they belonged to Monica.However, Monica's stockpile had long been nearly exhausted. The current supplies were all scavenged by Danny and his people.Even though there really wasn't much left, once they were divided up, there was basically nothing for Monica's side.Danny glanced at the compensation Hayley had sent for Malcolm. All the instant no

The time was now 11:40 a.m.Hayley had led the group about 1.1 miles so far.The pace was perfect.They had all been through one breakout run before, so everyone knew what they were doing. Up to now, not a single person had fallen behind.Just as expected, the zombie density on the surrounding streets was at its lowest.Along the way, Hayley had killed only a little over 200 zombies in total.Things were going smoothly for them, but the situation behind them was much worse.Monica's group was running behind Hayley, technically in a safer zone with fewer zombies.However, their physical condition was terrible. Long-term hunger meant that after ten minutes of running, problems started popping up everywhere.Monica stayed at the very back, forcing herself to control the situation. She had the stronger residents support those who were falling behind.The whole group barely managed to keep up with Hayley's team.The time was 11:48 a.m.They had covered about 1.7 miles. There wer
