The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Milo looked at Hayley, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly as he quietly asked Liam, “Is she your girl?”

“No, you’ve got it wrong,” Liam said right away. “She’s the leader of Haylight Base. Her name’s Hayley Reid. And she’s tough

When Milo heard the words “she’s tough”, he showed a hint of interest. He stood up, tall and broad, walked over to Hayley, a

offered her his hand.

“If Liam says you’re tough, then I believe it. I’m Milo Reynolds, from Firebrand Base.”

Hayley glanced at his open hand.

“Hayley Reid. Haylight Base.”

Then she took it.

The instant their hands touched, it was like grabbing onto something burning hot. A wave of strength surged from his grip straight into her arm.

Even from a simple handshake, she could feel how powerful Milo was, full of heat, energy, and an aggressive kind of life.

In short, this man was all force and pressure.

Milo felt it, too.

He stared at her in surprise. Her hand was small, yet the power behind it was real.

When they locked hands, it felt like two forces slamming into each other.

She didn’t give ground at all.

“You really are strong,” Milo said.

“Tell me your plan first,” Hayley replied, pulling her hand away and sitting back down.

“The world fell apart too fast, and now there are barely any survivors left. The cities are still filled with supplies, enough for all of us to live for generations if we can take them. Once the cities are ours, food and goods won’t be our biggest worry anymore.

“Our real enemy is the zombies. The only way to feel safe is to wipe them out.”

Hayley nodded. She was completely on the same page.

Food had never really been the true problem after the collapse.

The old world had stored huge amounts of supplies. One single grain reserve could keep people alive for years

And the cities were still packed with supplies. Most of what truly mattered was still there.

“But you have to face it,” she said, “cities are packed with zombies There aren’t many of us. That kind of battle won’t be easy”

Milo didn’t look away “Have you noticed something? The zombies are evolving”

Hayley lifted an eyebrow

“Liam.” Milo looked at him “You’ve seen it, too, haven’t you? They aren’t the same anymore

Liain exhaled slowly “Yeah That’s true”

“If I’m right,” Milo went on, “then in a few years, they’ll only get worse. And we’ll only tall behind if we don’t grow stronger and find more resources Once the creatures in the cities start spreading out, every base will be in danger After that, it’s just a slow countdown. Maybe ten years, at best”

Hayley’s eyes brightened at how exact Milo sounded.

This man wasn’t guessing. He was hitting frighteningly close to the truth.

Ten years.

The way he spoke made it sound like he had already seen it happen.

In reality, there were always people who could sense disaster coming.

Seeing the future was one thing. Changing it was another.

“I know,” Liam said quietly, “but we’re still not strong enough. Recapturing a city now would be a terrible risk.”
