All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 681 - Chapter 690

Aside from Griffin, who had seen this before with Hayley, everyone else's faces changed instantly.Was Sawyer turning into a zombie?Some grabbed their weapons. Others backed away fast. Felix's group shrank into the corner, clearly rattled. They had obviously never seen anything like this.Hayley knew exactly what it was.This happened to those from Scott's base who had eaten zombie crystal cores. These people were chewing them raw. Of course, something like this would happen.Scott's expression darkened the moment he saw Sawyer. He walked over, face cold and unreadable."Can you hold it in?"This episode had clearly been building for a while. Sawyer was in agony. When he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, twisted with pain. But the moment they met Scott's gaze, fear still broke through.It left him trembling, caught between terror and suffering. He clutched his head as he rolled on the floor, trying to calm himself and failing completely.All he could do was beg."B-Boss… H

When Scott and Hayley came out of the bathroom, most people were already awake after Sawyer's episode.No one went back to sleep.Outside, the zombies' howls grew louder and louder, but they still hadn't broken through the castle.Everyone stayed on edge, waiting for the Zombie King to show up. Yet even as the sun began to rise, it never appeared.That caught Hayley off guard.Was it really going to be this smooth?She held her post until the first light crept over the horizon. Outside, the zombies that had been snarling all night started to slow down.At the eastern window, the zombie with its head jammed inside was still ramming forward, slamming its skull against the planks and the cabinet blocking the opening.Its shriveled face was torn apart, its flesh mangled. The sharp edges of the metal bars scraped along its cheekbones every time it lunged, making the sound of metal grinding against bone cut through the air."Raarh!""Raarh!"All around the castle, the zombies stoo

The man's head rolled across the floor, ending up nearly 20 feet away from his body. To Laurel and the rest, what they saw was completely different. They thought he had been swallowed whole by the zombies.The three of them finally broke and screamed.Outside, the zombies reacted instantly. Their sluggish attacks turned violent.Bang!A wooden cabinet crashed over, splintering apart. On the east side, a window finally gave way.The barricade that had held all night was gone.The zombies poured in.The first one through was the female zombie with half its face torn open.Its temple was a shredded mess, bone exposed through the torn flesh. Its gray, lifeless eyes locked upward, drawn by the screams from the fourth floor.With twisted limbs jerking out of place, it dragged itself up, then lurched forward, rushing for the stairs. Behind it, more zombies forced their way in.Glass shattered, one window after another.The zombies came without hesitation, surging forward like a t

A level-six mental-variant crystal core.Hayley slipped the crystal into her inventory, then turned straight for the table.She picked up the empty vial and studied it closely.Most of the label was filled with abbreviations and technical terms in a foreign language. The only word she could make out was "evolution."But the stamped date underneath it was clear.August 9, 2031.The day everything began.She opened the lower compartment of the lockbox.Inside were more vials, all empty.Each one was labeled with a date. They were all from before August 9. The earliest went back a full year.Hayley froze.Her mind buzzed, something clicking into place.She turned and walked over to the corpse on the floor. Up close, she noticed the clothes. It wasn't a dress, but a lab coat."No. 3. S-level Evolver."The pieces started falling together.This wasn't just a lab; this place had been researching the virus before the outbreak. Those vials, sorted by date, had been used to inject

All that was on their minds was to run.Faster.Faster, damn it!The zombies were catching up!With Hayley leading the way, the group sprinted out of the old castle and plunged into waist-high wild grass. They followed the same route they had come from, scrambling toward the cliff where their vehicles were parked.Behind them, a long line of zombies poured out, howling as they chased after them.Zombies never got tired. But at that moment, neither did they."Raarh!""Raarh!""Raarh!"Vroom!Engines roared to life.One armored truck started up. Two harvesters rumbled awake beside it. The doors were already open, the vehicles moving as people climbed aboard.Everyone grabbed onto the person in front of them, hauling each other up one by one.Just as a blood-soaked zombie, its joints twisted out of place from earlier impacts, staggered close enough to reach them…Bang!All three vehicle doors slammed shut at the same time. The engines thundered, and the convoy tore away fr
