All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 751 - Chapter 756

"I said, get back."Douglas repeated himself, firmer this time.Celia pouted, clearly annoyed, but pulled her foot back. She shot Hayley a glare before turning and heading back to Douglas.All 16 of Douglas's people squeezed in with Preston's 11 in the entryway.No matter how big it was, it felt packed now. They sat shoulder to shoulder, pressed tight, barely able to stretch their legs."Boss, we're starving. Can we eat?" someone asked Douglas."Go ahead."With a wave of his hand, everyone started unzipping their backpacks.They had gotten lucky earlier, stumbling across a roadside bakery. The fresh stuff was long gone. Bread, pastries, and anything with flour or eggs had spoiled years ago.But somehow, they had found a stash of Hearthfall cakes.Four years later, everything else had rotted away, but the dense and sweet Hearthfall cakes were still intact.Especially the mixed-nut kind. It looked almost brand new.Before all this, no one would've touched the stuff. Now, it w

Hayley was too infuriating. Celia couldn't stand her."Yeah, I'm talking about you!" Celia stood up and faced Hayley. "If you really have eight gifts, I'll eat dirt!"Griffin let out a laugh. "Captain Gorgeous, you hear what she just said?"Hayley glanced at Celia.

Preston asked Douglas after she left."Not really," Douglas replied, pulling his gaze back. "I don't see how anyone could have that many gifts. But right now, the goal is to survive and pass the trial. It'd be best if we could work together."

Hayley's fighting technique was on another level.It was Douglas's first time actually seeing Hayley in action. As he watched that blade work, something he had never seen before in his life, his eyes trembled slightly. "She definitely has speed and strength enhancement.""Yeah," Preston agreed immediately.And both were at a very high level."Move!" Preston shouted as soon as Hayley cleared the zombies at the entrance and rushed out.Douglas snapped out of it and hurried after her with his group.Hayley sprinted straight toward the northwest corner, heading for the Somervale Financial Center.The zombies that had gathered near the windows inside the complex started to follow her, drawn in by the movement.But because she was running in front, with Preston and Douglas trailing behind, the ones in the rear ended up getting boxed in as more zombies caught up.Following someone meant you didn't have to lead, but running in the back meant you were the one getting chased.
