Hayley returned to her shelter and carefully inspected every upgraded part, inside and out.On the surface, nothing looked different. Everything had simply been reinforced.The warehouse used to be inside the tunnel. Now, after opening it, she could see another door at the far corner. Once that main door was opened, it led into a super warehouse carved into the mountainside, with ten times the original capacity.The system equipment on the second floor hadn't changed in appearance either, but all of it had been fully optimized for performance.Standing on the second floor and looking down, Hayley felt steady. No matter what was happening outside, her stronghold was still here. With her shelter's current defenses, it could block a zombie tide of 100 thousand without a problem.She was getting stronger.Hayley stayed home with Ruby and rested comfortably for two days.On June 1st, she officially entered the city with Ruby.Over those two days, the other residents cleared all the

Scott looked at Hayley walking toward him.After a long pause, he asked, "You only brought one helicopter?""Captain Fuller, I know you must be deeply moved. Even with equipment so scarce, I still went all out and flew the only aircraft our base has to help you. If it were me, I'd be so touched I'd cry," Hayley said earnestly.Scott paused. "I mean, is one helicopter enough?""Well, worst case, we work a little harder and fly you out trip by trip. Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I'll get you out. Survivors are supposed to help each other," Hayley said, sincerity written all over her face.Scott was rendered completely speechless."Captain Reid, your rescue plan seems a bit unrealistic. Your helicopter only has five seats. We've got over eight hundred people here. If you fly us out one trip at a time, how long do you think that'll take?" a burly man behind Scott complained.Hayley glanced lazily at the man. She didn't speak, only gave a slow, casual cough.Griffin immediately

Hayley remembered clearly that she had never sold any evolution serum to Scott.Alex hadn't, either.Scott's base had been trapped in the city center the whole time and had never traded with the outside world.After hearing Hayley's question, Scott reached out to the thin man beside him. A bright, glossy crystal core immediately appeared in his palm.He took out a bottle of water and rinsed the crystal core. Right in front of Hayley, he crushed it with his bare hand. A few drops of clear liquid flowed out of the shattered crystal core. Scott tilted his head back and drank it down.Behind Scott, quite a few Gifted pulled crystal cores out of their pockets. They did the same thing, crushing them and swallowing them directly. Some were even more extreme, tossing the crystal cores straight into their mouths, chewing them like bones, crunching loudly before spitting out the dry shell.Hayley's heart started pounding at the sight.Even the crystal cores Alex refined with the evolu

Bright moonlight spilled across the scarred land.It fell on the howling, shifting masses of zombies, on one struggling human refuge after another, and finally on the bloodthirsty eyes in front of Hayley, holding something back to the breaking point."What's wrong with you?"Scott stared at Hayley. Feeling the blood at the corner of his mouth, he lowered his gaze and ran his thumb along his lips. In an instant, the blood smeared across his red mouth.He gave a twisted, eerie smile. "Can you help me?"Half a minute later, behind a large tree.They had their backs to the camp, sitting not too close and not too far apart.Scott had a cigarette between his lips.Hayley looked at the arm in front of her, bitten so badly that bone was visible, and silently wrapped it with bandages.The bandages and medication were all provided by Scott.There was clearly no painkiller. Scott could only rely on smoking to dull the pain a little.As cigarette butts piled up on the ground, the bloodl

After slapping Griffin away, Hayley lay back in her sleeping bag and went to sleep.Of course, she hadn't believed a word Scott said.That kind of story might fool ordinary people, but there was no way it would fool her.Not to mention, as someone who had lived a second life, Hayley already knew Scott inside and out. Any act he put on in front of her was completely pointless.Even without that, based on Hayley's grasp of the situation, she would never help him.She had seen just how ruthless Scott's people were. Letting a pack of wolves like that loose would cause trouble the moment they slipped out of control.And clearly, she couldn't control them.Scott was an ambitious man. He had forged his base into a pack of predators under ironclad rule. Once released into the outside human settlements, he would inevitably seek even greater power.How could she let a tiger like that out?No matter how eloquent Scott sounded, his people all had to stay right here.In the face of a shar
