The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 202

The second person crossed the same way.

Once Leonard had sent both survivors inside, he grabbed the window frame with one hand and used the other to shove the two safety clips back across the zipline with all his strength.

“Boss! You can come over now!” he shouted.

Hayley, still fighting off zombies inside the collapsing office, sprinted toward the window the moment she heard Leonard’s

voice.

Both safety clips slid back to her at the same time.

But she only needed one, because Griffin was tied to her back.

She sheathed her blade, grabbed one clip with one hand, and summoned a massive water orb with the other.

Boom!

The explosion of water blasted outward, shoving back the flood of zombies trying to rush her.

Griffin’s eyes lit up. “You’re a double-Gifted, huh?”

Wham!

Before he could say anything else, his head slammed into a zombie leaping at them from the side.

Hayley spun sharply, using Griffin like a battering ram to smash the zombie away.

He sucked in a breath, wincing. “Did you do that on purpose?”

Of course, it was on purpose.

She had mapped every zombie’s position around the room using her mental energy. There were no surprises for her.

Hayley let out a soft snort. While talking, she clipped the harness around her waist again, adjusted Griffin on her back, and jumped onto the window ledge.

At this point, she didn’t even need to worry about zombies behind her.

She had an anti-zombie human shield strapped to her back.

She tightened her grip on Griffin’s legs, pushed off the window frame, and shot forward along the ziplin toward the opposite building.

Behind her, countless zombies burst out of the window like floodwaters.

But what awaited them was a six-story plunge.

One by one, they tumbled out, crashing down from the sixth floor like a rainstorm made of corpses.

The scene looked like something straight out of a zombie movie.

Some had hollowed out stomachs. Some had chewed off legs, leaving nothing but bone. Some had twisted heads. Some dragged half a torso behind them.

But all of them chased the same target: the two people sliding across the zipline.

Their jaws gaped and snapped, their bodies contorted, but they couldn’t reach.

Hayley made it halfway across, but the momentum finally died out. The crossing was from the sixth floor to the other building s

Sixtli floor, su they had to slide half fire way and crawl the other half.

She ended up hanging upside down with Griffin on her back. She used both hands and feet to crawl the rest of the way.

If it weren’t for the man babbling endlessly behind her, she probably would have moved faster.

“Captain Gorgeous, be honest. You’re in love with me, right?”

“Shut up.”

“Then why risk your life to save me?”

“Just felt like it.”

Griffin froze.

He tilted his head back, staring up at the bright blue sky, his single human eye filed with amusement.

“Then tell me. What is it you want from me? What about me makes you think about me this much?”
