The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233

Half an hour later, everyone arrived back at the wholesale district.

All the vehicles stopped at the front gate like before. Under Liarn’s lead, the teams went in one after another.

The first floor had already been cleared out. Everyone moved carefully up to the second floor, which was just as dark.

Every store was locked tight. Rows of shops stretched in every direction, all neat and connected. Under the red emergency lights, a few unsteady shadows shuffled toward them.

There were even fewer zombies here than downstairs.

Yesterday, there had been more than ten on the first floor. On the second floor, there were only four or five left.

Crack! Thud!

Once Liam’s team wiped out the scattered zombies, they got straight to hauling supplies.

This floor was still filled with cheap women’s clothing. Hayley told Leonard to keep helping carry things while she went to find

Liam.

“How are we splitting this?” she asked.

Liam looked at her. “Pick what you like. Whatever you take is yours.”

“I can only carry so much. I’m only able to take what you leave behind.

Liam gave her a small smile. “Are you sure? I thought it’s always been the other way round.”

Hayley fell silent. She stared at Liam, who clearly seemed to know about her inventory-variant ability, and really wanted to sigh.

“Go on,” Liam said. “Take as much as you want.”

Without another word, Hayley moved to a darker corner and got to work. She carried out one piece and stored nine, always leaving a few so that it looked normal.

At the same time, she kept an eye on Wallace’s

group.

Wallace had brought thirteen people with him. Aside from the three that Hayley had beaten yesterday, eight of them were Sitted

Thomas was the only double-Gifted, obviously. The rest included three strength-enhanced, two speed-enhanced, one tire element, and one inventory-variant Gifted.

That inventory-variant Gifted was Ted Fennimore.

Ted was Wallace’s prized helper who went everywhere with him. Whenever they went out, Ted never fought He stayed in the middle, protected by everyone else, and only helped when it was time to pack up loot.

From what Hayley remembered, Ted’s storage space was about 30 square feet

Before every mission, he cleared his space so he could carry as much stuff as possible.

Hayley was fine taking things herself

But no one else was allowed to

To her, if anyone else took it, they were stealing from her.

Besides, she had Liam’s permission, but Wallace’s people obviously didn’t

Sure enough, under her watch, Wallace’s group quietly stacked a large bundle of clothes in one corner Then, they had Ted take

it into his storage.

“Hey! They’re stealing over there! Hayley called out lazily from & display rack.

People across the floor immediately looked toward Wallace’s team. In an instant, his entire group was exposed, like thieves caught in the act.
