All Chapters of The Endgame Chronicles: Chapter 861 - Chapter 870

Bang!Bang!Heavy fire poured down from the helicopter overhead.Fully armed soldiers hung from both sides of the aircraft, bracing themselves as they unleashed a storm of gunfire into the horde below.Boom!A single-operator missile struck dead center into the pyramid of zombies stacked at the northwest corner.The explosion ripped through the middle of the pile. Bodies and limbs flew into the air. The towering mass collapsed with a thunderous crash, and waves of zombies tumbled down from the top in a chaotic cascade.The blast drew the attention of zombies from every direction."Raaah!""Raaah!"They broke off from other areas and charged over without hesitation.The helicopter banked sharply and pulled away, heading about half a mile beyond the base. As it flew, it dropped explosives in steady succession.The rolling blasts echoed across the field, luring the majority of the zombies away to the open plain.Up on the walls, the defenders saw their chance."Now! Pour the

Their base director, Josh Willis, had led a group of their strongest people into the underground parts depot and gotten trapped inside.They hadn't even managed to bring out the canned meat or hard tack.Josh was Maisie's husband. The base had been built by the two of them from the ground up. Normally, Josh handled everything outside while Maisie managed things inside the base. After something happened to him, Maisie had been frantic. She sent out rescue teams, but quickly realized that all the remaining fighters combined could barely handle a single high-level zombie. They couldn't even make it inside.After exhausting every option, she finally sent a distress call to Haylight League. As long as Hayley could bring Josh and the others back, she was willing to agree to any condition."Why ten people? Wouldn't more make it easier?"After hearing her out, Hayley asked the question calmly."No. It's an underground tunnel. The oxygen is thin. We tested it. If more than 15 people go

"What do you mean?" Hayley looked at Maisie.Maisie held the communicator with the blinking red light and slowly walked over to her."I'm really worried about Josh. We've never been apart this long since we got together."Hayley raised a brow. "How long has it been?""Almost 15 years." Maisie let out a faint smile. "We started dating back in high school. It was kind of a big deal back then. I was the top student in school, and he was at the very bottom. He ranked dead last every year. But when he decided to pursue me, he worked like crazy. By the time we took our SAT, he actually scored one point higher than me."Hayley's eyes lit up slightly. "That's impressive.""Yeah. He told me back then that he'd handle all the storms in life so I could just be happy every day." Maisie let out a soft breath, her grip tightening around the communicator. "We got into the same college, graduated together, and got married right after."He really kept every promise he made. After graduat

With that thought, Colin's worry only deepened.That many high-level zombies meant this would be a brutal fight.One mistake, and they could lose their lives.He didn't believe a single word Ethan and Derek had said.Carrying that tension, he watched as the helicopter flew into an abandoned military testing site. Below them stretched a wide, empty lot scattered with several rusted military vehicles.Dozens of zombies wandering the open ground heard the chopper blades and immediately rushed toward them."Raaah, raaah, raaah!""Raaah, raaah!"One after another, they threw their heads back, jaws stretched wide, stiff limbs jerking as they surged forward, crowding beneath the helicopter.A rope ladder dropped from the aircraft onto the roof of the tallest nearby structure. Three or four soldiers in black combat gear slid down first.The moment they landed, the swarm below surged like flies, chasing after them.The roof was low, barely a single story, with a rusted metal staircas

After landing, Hayley first examined the four zombie corpses.They looked almost identical to the giant zombies she had encountered in Fairfield. Unlike those, however, these bodies showed no signs of toxic exposure; they had no greenish tint, no bulging eyes."Hey, big guy. Do you get toxic gas around here?" Hayley asked.Colin froze for a second when she spoke.Someone nudged him. "Boss is talking to you." Only then did Colin realize she meant him. He looked at Hayley. "N-No. We don't have any toxic gas here.""Then, when did these giant zombies start showing up?"Colin shook his head like a rattle. "I don't know. We only discovered them last time we came here for supplies. Before that, we'd never seen zombies at this level."Hayley frowned slightly.So the evolution of these giants wasn't caused by toxic gas. It was probably triggered by something else."Two of you stay outside. The rest come with me.""Okay!"Ethan and another soldier stayed to guard the entrance. Hayl
