All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 491 - Chapter 500

After Hayley finished inspecting the entire first defensive line, the helicopter set down near the midpoint of the wall.A group of men in matching combat gear stood atop the towering fortification.Rifles braced on their shoulders, they fired nonstop. Bullets ripped downward in steady bursts.Compared to the guards stationed elsewhere, these men were bigger and broader, built like tanks. Their bodies radiated raw menace, muscles tight and swollen, veins standing out like cables.Just standing there, they looked like a living wall of steel and flesh.At the center stood one man in particular, nearly six feet three, a heavy launcher resting on his shoulder as he held his ground at the edge. His eyes were sharp as blades, cold and focused as they locked onto the mass of zombies below.Boom!The launcher spat out a blast of searing heat. The shell detonated right in the middle of the horde. In an instant, the mountain of zombies collapsed, bodies flying apart like loose debris.On

Hayley counted the decimals, one by one.She had over 140 million points.She had broken 100 million! Her points finally crossed nine digits!The moment she saw that long string of numbers, she jumped to her feet in pure excitement."Woof, woof!" Summer tilted her head at her, confused."Summer, you're my lucky charm," Hayley said, wrapping an arm around Summer's neck. The other dogs finished eating and gathered around her, all eyes on her face."All of you are."After giving each of them a good head rub, Hayley hurried into the system's exchange panel. She went straight to the medical section.Her small goal: the zombie inhibitor.One hundred million points.Exchange!As soon as 100 million points were deducted, a clear syringe appeared in her palm.Ding! [Congratulations! Zombie virus inhibitor acquired!]Hayley sucked in a sharp breath.She got it.She finally got the thing she had been dreaming about!Hayley immediately pulled up the item details.[Zombie Virus I

"What, you're not welcoming us?" Hayley asked, already turning away. "If that's the case, I'll head back right now."She pivoted sharply, clearly ready to leave."No." Nathaniel reacted immediately. "All of you are very welcome."He forced a friendly smile as he looked at the pack of dogs in front of him.Dogs were dogs. Animals, nothing more. Honestly, it was better than her bringing a whole crowd of people. Dogs were easier to deal with.That thought seemed to reassure Nathaniel. His smile deepened, softening into something that looked almost warm. "Did you raise all of them yourself?""Yeah. Every single one.""What are their names?" Nathaniel asked, trying to sound casual, trying to get closer.That caught Hayley's interest. She straightened up and stood among the dogs, pointing at them one by one."This one's Summer. I raised him since he was little. He's a German Shepherd. Handsome, right?""Yeah," Nathaniel said. "Very handsome.""The rest I picked up over time," Ha

Hayley stepped onto a full street's worth of expensive wool carpet and followed Nathaniel into the reception hall he had prepared.A massive table of food was already laid out."You must be hungry," Nathaniel said with a smile. "Let's eat first."The table was packed with carefully prepared dishes. Roasted chicken thighs glazed in sauce, pan-seared fish fillets, barbecue ribs, steak, buttered vegetables…Nathaniel glanced at the spread and felt a quiet thrill.This would impress her for sure!She came from outside. There was no way she ate like this on a regular basis. Once she tasted the difference, he was confident she would want to stay.Hayley took one look at the food and raised an eyebrow. "Huh. You guys eat pretty well."It was almost on par with her own base's average meals. That alone put them above most places.Nathaniel caught the note in her voice and felt a flicker of pride. He nodded. "You probably never had food like this at your brother's place. Here, we have p

After giving Griffin his instructions, Hayley patted Summer on the head. "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him bolt.""Woof, woof!"Griffin almost rolled his eyes.With everything settled, Hayley turned and followed Nathaniel inside. As she walked past, several members of Ark Three in white masks glanced at her again and again.Hayley met their stares openly, one by one.The moment their eyes met hers, every single one of them looked away.On the way in, someone from Ark Three spoke up. "We heard you were helped by Base K1 recently. What are they like?""They're strong," Nathaniel said, glancing sideways at Hayley."Did you really give them 200 thousand tons of grain and 200 thousand crystal cores?""Yes."The man in the white mask chuckled. "Sounds like they're barely surviving out there."Hayley paused."Traveling that far just to beg for a little food," someone else added. "Was it really worth it?""They must've been starving," another said casually. "Desperate enough to
