The Endgame Chronicles のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 541 - チャプター 550

Only a dozen people had made it to the top alive.But even that didn't last. One by one, they were picked off after landing.Now, there were only five left. They were hiding inside trash bins in the Level Five disposal room.No one dared breathe. They buried themselves under layers of garbage, trying to mask the smell of living flesh.They waited in the rot and filth, listening to zombies wander past.Max was curled inside the deepest bin, clutching a little girl. Ryan hid in the bin beside them.The girl looked about ten. She was thin and small. She clung to Max like a frightened kitten, wide eyes shining as she tried to read every sound.Then, she heard movement.A trash bin nearby was yanked open. The person hiding inside was exposed.The zombies reacted instantly, like demons spotting meat."Raarh!""Raarh!""Help! Aaaahh!"The man thrashed in terror as the zombies rushed him. Panic blew his fear wide open. He kicked wildly, smashing into other bins.Bang!Another bi

Ryan, fully turned, caught the scent of living flesh. His cloudy gray eyes snapped open. He let out a hoarse snarl and lunged, jaws wide.He bit down hard.Sigmund fought like hell, shoving Ryan away with everything he had left. But his abilities were already drained from the earlier fight. There was nothing left to draw on.The zombie slammed back into Sigmund and tore in.Hayley watched from the side, expression flat.If anything, this felt earned.The outbreak at Ark Three traced back to the fake inhibitor Ark Two had sold. Now, the fallout was landing squarely on them.They had held an auction, charged obscene prices, and sold something unstable and useless. They had even tested it on living people in front of everyone.Now, their own base was drowning in zombies.Ark Three had been dragged down with them.All of it was self-inflicted.Without abilities to protect him, Sigmund didn't stand a chance. His strength was nothing compared to a zombie's.Because zombies couldn

Every level of the base had been sealed off. It stopped people from moving around, but it also trapped the zombies on each floor.Above Level Three, armed base guards held the lines. These were trained fighters, and they blocked the infection at the source. A lot of people died, but the situation was finally brought under control.Level Two got hit the hardest. By the time they cleared it out, more than half the workers were dead or injured.This time, Ark Three took a massive loss.A helicopter hovered outside the Level Five windows. A rope ladder dropped onto an open terrace as Ark Two scrambled to evacuate, hauling their wounded aboard in a panic.Once Ark Two pulled out, Nathaniel, Hayley, and the rest walked out calmly, unhurried.Before they left, Woody handed Hayley a communicator and added her to their channel to ease future communication."We didn't really understand Base K1 before," he said with an easy smile. "Turns out outside bases aren't weak at all. Stay in touch.

Under Samuel's fire, Liam turned red all the way to the tips of his ears. He straightened his back and forced the words out."Holly belongs to our whole league. If anything, she can take someone in. She can't marry out.""By that logic," Samuel replied mildly, "I'll just have that Nathaniel kid marry in.""No way!" Liam was about to explode. How was his grandpa always siding with outsiders? "Anyone who wants to marry Holly has to get my approval first.""And why's that?""Because…because I'm…" Liam struggled for a second, then blurted it out with full confidence, "I'm Holly's brother!"Hayley laughed."I think you've got a point," she said lightly.She stood up and waved at the two of them. "I've got something to handle. We'll argue later."With that, Hayley walked out of Samuel's villa, calm and unbothered, every inch the boss she was.Once she was gone, Samuel looked at Liam with equal parts disgust and disappointment. "Honestly. How did I end up with such a blockheaded gra

As soon as Hayley finished speaking, she took off running.Ruby stared after Hayley, panicked, and rushed out to tell Hayley to bring more people and be careful. In her rush, a burst of flame suddenly flared up in her palm.Ruby froze.She stared at the fire dancing in her hand.What was this?She had gifts now, too?She stood there for a few seconds, then tried again. Another flame bloomed to life.It was real.Her heart slammed in her chest. She turned toward Hayley's retreating figure and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Holly! I have abilities now!"Hayley waved back without slowing down. "That's amazing, Aunt Ruby!"Ruby was so happy that she almost cried.She had awakened abilities. She was no longer just an ordinary person. Now, she could help Holly even more.The thought made her grin from ear to ear.It was the third year of the apocalypse, early February.The eastern climate had clearly begun to warm up. It was nothing like the brutal blizzards of the last two
