Chapter 671

"No problem."Hayley agreed without hesitation.Across from her, Scott lowered his gaze, a soft, warm smile settling on his pale face.Hayley returned the smile just as easily. The two of them looked like old friends who had always gotten along and had each other's backs.It was as if nothing had ever happened between them.Right then, Winona, sitting beside Hayley, suddenly broke into a violent coughing fit."Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough!"She clamped a hand over her mouth. Her thin body shook with every cough, and a trace of blood began to seep from the corner of her lips."What's wrong?" Hayley turned to her.After coughing up blood, Winona quickly covered her mouth tighter, afraid anyone might notice she was hurt. "I'm fine."In the apocalypse, being sick or injured was basically a crime. It got you abandoned, or worse, eaten.Winona didn't dare say more. She endured it like a stray kitten, stubbornly silent, pretending she was okay."She's got internal injuries. P

Seriously? She had one cracker yesterday afternoon, and she wasn't hungry now?Hayley almost swore out loud. "Griffin, get her something to eat.""Got it." Griffin unzipped his pack and pulled out a few boxed meals.They actually came straight from his inventory. Each box had five sides, with a bed of rice. Steam curled up the moment he opened them."Hey, kid. Come eat."Winona's eyes went wide. She stared at the food, then looked at Hayley, wide-eyed. She couldn't believe this was for her."Why are you staring at me?" Hayley asked. "If you're with me, you don't need to watch your back all the time. No one here's going to mess with you."Warmth flooded through Winona's chest, something she hadn't felt in a long time."Go on, eat," Griffin said as he tore open a set of utensils for her. "Stick with us long enough, and you'll get used to it. Captain Gorgeous is the best there is. She takes care of her own."He lowered his voice. "All that edge she's got? That's for outsiders. No

It was already close to 6 p.m.The sun had dipped low, slipping behind the western ridge of the canyon. From where Hayley's group stood, everything ahead was backlit, washed in shadow.All they could see at first was a silhouette.The figure wore combat gear, a cap tilted crookedly on his head. As he staggered upright from the tall grass, the cap slipped off and fell to the ground.Leonard's lips parted. He was about to say something when Hayley clamped a hand over his mouth.The next second, the man's head twisted at an unnatural angle, almost 90 degrees.In the dim backlight, its gray-white zombie eyes still shone with a chilling clarity as they locked onto them."Raarh!"It opened his mouth and let out a hoarse snarl. Its whole body jerked and contorted, limbs bending in ways no human body should, as it charged straight at them."Raarh! Raarh! Raarh!"Leonard froze.For the first time, he hesitated.Because he knew the man.He wasn't from Liam's core team, but he was st

Hayley didn't have a blade in hand. As the zombies rushed her, she was just about to use her gifts when a clear shout rang out from one corner of the estate."Boss!"The moment the voice echoed, the swarm charging at Hayley suddenly shifted, all of them turning toward that side of the building.Hayley looked up and immediately spotted Derek at a third-floor window."Derek!"Derek pointed off to the right.Hayley turned and saw a long strip of white fabric hanging down from the far western side of the estate.Ethan's head popped out from above. He didn't say a word, just waved urgently, signaling for them to run his way.Hayley didn't hesitate. Ignoring the zombies closing in, she led her people straight toward the west side. In less than half a minute, they reached it.The fabric hung down from above. Hayley lifted Winona first."Can you climb?""I can!"Winona grabbed hold. She was small and light, and with her feet braced against the wall, she scrambled up in no time.Le

"What did you just say?"Hayley pushed the others aside and walked straight up to the woman."I-I didn't mean to." The woman looked at Hayley with teary eyes, as if she might start crying any second.She was pretty. In a world like this, it was rare to see someone still looking so well-kept. Her long dress was clean, her complexion healthy. When she met Hayley's gaze, she shrank back toward the wall like a fragile little flower.Just then, a group of people came running from the far end of the estate."Laurel, what happened?!"The moment Laurel Knight heard them, she hurried over, clinging to them like she had been wronged. "It was an accident. I was just trying to help. I had no idea it would go wrong."The group who rushed over looked at her, their eyes filled with quiet sympathy."What happened?""Who messed with you?""I was just helping. I didn't know I'd make things worse," Laurel said softly, looking pitiful."What were you helping with? Everyone knows you've got a go

Chapter 676

Hayley, who was still holding Laurel by the window, turned her head.She tossed Laurel back inside, then strode straight toward Felix without a word.Another idiot.Felix saw her coming and raised his voice. "Let her go and apologize to us. If you don't, we're not letting this go!"Smack!Hayley slapped him so hard that he went flying."You know damn well the apocalypse hit, right? The world has gone to hell. Who owes you anything?"Does the country owe you? Does the military owe you? Do we owe you anything?"What the hell do you know, huh? You run your mouth about no one helping you. Do you even know what was done for you before all this? What those soldiers gave up for people like you?"Everyone's out here barely making it, carrying their own weight, trying to stay alive. And you think just because you open your mouth, people are supposed to serve you? Who the hell do you think you are?"Every line came with another slap. One after another, until Felix's face swelled up and

"Zombies happened," Derek said. "There's a level six or higher Zombie King out here."His expression stayed tight as he explained what had happened.They had been clearing zombies all the way to this canyon. At first, it looked empty. No zombies, no people. They figured it was just another routine sweep.Then they heard people calling for help.That group turned out to be Laurel, Felix, and the others.Back then, there weren't just four of them. There were nine in total, trapped inside the estate. When they saw Derek's team, they were practically screaming for their lives.Derek and the others moved in to help.But the moment they entered the canyon, everything went sideways.They ran into a high-level mental-variant zombie, along with a massive swarm. The zombies came at them fast, chasing them down hard.A level-six zombie was no joke.They had no choice but to abandon the vehicle and retreat back into the estate.The losses hit immediately.Out of the five of them, one s

The moment Derek said that, a map of the surrounding area snapped into place in Hayley's mind.If her first defensive line was the outer edge, then this canyon up ahead was basically right in the middle.Take control of this spot, and pushing into the cities on both sides would be easier. It would also serve as a solid barrier against the zombies outside."We came to the canyon to check out the terrain," Derek said. "We didn't expect things to go sideways like this.""Alright. I got it." Hayley gave his head a light pat. "Don't overthink it. Once we're out tomorrow, we'll send a full team back.""Yes, ma'am!"When Hayley stepped out of Derek's room, she saw a group of people gathered in the hallway.Laurel, Felix, and the other two who had been rescued were locked into a corner.All four of them looked completely drained. Laurel and Felix, especially after getting hit by Hayley earlier, looked miserable. Their faces swollen, they slumped against the wall without a word.Thomas

Hayley opened her meal.Tonight's spread was roast pork, carved chicken, and a hearty beef stew, with sides of sautéed greens, garlic green beans, and a strip of beef jerky on the side.Ever since Haylight League was established, her employee meals had taken a sharp turn for the better.Back then, it was either Leonard cooking or throwing together quick soups and instant meals. Now, they had actual chefs from before the apocalypse running the kitchen.Every day, there were hot, well-balanced meals with real flavor; the kind of food that made your mouth water before you even took a bite.The days when Derek and his crew survived on vegetable soup and a slice of bread felt like something from a lifetime ago.Everyone in Haylight League had long since moved past worrying about food.Still, eating like this every single day still shocked people who weren't used to it.Scott and Sawyer took the boxed meals Hayley handed out. The moment they looked inside, their eyes lit up.Sawyer

Chapter 680

Crash!Glass shattered.A window on the east side of the first floor gave way under the impact.A gray, shriveled female zombie forced itself through the broken frame, clawing at the metal bars as it squeezed inside.The jagged tips of the rusted bars punched straight into its temple. Its head tilted to the side, but it didn't feel a thing, still shoving forward.The metal edge dragged from its temple down to its jaw, splitting the flesh open. Skin peeled back. Dark, clotted blood oozed from the wound, thick and foul."Raarh… Raarh… Raarh!"Its head finally jammed against a heavy cabinet inside, but it kept thrashing, gripping the bars and slamming herself forward.Bang! Bang! Bang!Its face scraped back and forth between the bars, grinding the wound into a mess of torn flesh. Bits of meat caught on the rusted metal, drawing more zombies to crowd around the window."Raarh… Raarh…""Raarh…"Pale faces pressed in, one after another, rotting heads wedging into the gaps, all tr
