Chapter 245

Base K1 simply couldn’t afford to gamble like this.

“Liam, time is not on our side,” Milo went on.

“Every form of defense is just slow poison. This is the final war between humans and zombies. Either they die out, or we do. If you want the upper hand, you strike while they are still weak and go all in Once zombies fully evolve, we’ll never have another chance. Waiting now is the same as putting the noose around your own neck.”

Liam looked at him with absolute calm.

“I might be tying a noose around my neck, but you’re basically pointing a gun at your head. Do you know what happens if your plan fails? Going all in just speeds up death. And who can say there will not be a better chance later?”

At that moment, a clear female voice cut in.

“Going all in at least gives a chance to change everything. And no, there won’t be a better chance later.”

Hayley stood up. She looked straight at Milo.

“You’re right. If humans want control, it has to be now. Zombies are still limited. The more we kill now, the weaker they become, and the stronger we get.”

Right then, a voice sounded in Hayley’s mind.

Ding!

[Super Lord System activated!

[City Recapture Mission unlocked!

[The host must recapture any one city among the three designated cities and eliminate all zombies within it to complete the mission! Completion reward: a Super Reward Package!

[During the mission, each newly captured district will grant an upgrade reward package!]

The moment Hayley heard that, her excitement exploded. She reached out without hesitation.

“Milo, let’s do this together. We’ll take the cities back and wipe out the zombie herds!”

Liam felt a headache coming on, as if he were watching two lunatics plan to blow up the world.

Had they both gone insane?

Recapturing cities now? At this stage?

With what supplies? With what arsenal?

Milo had no resources, so it was understandable for him to be crazy.

But why was Hayley jumping in with him?

“Ms. Reid!”

Liam stood up just as she shook Milo’s hand. He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the others

“What are you doing?”

He dragged her to a corner near the front and gripped her shoulders

“Don’t follow Milo into this. His plan has almost no chance of working. If you go with him, you’ll die!”

Hayley looked at his eyes, which were wild with worry, and smiled softly.

“Then let me tell you something, too. The future really will go the way Milo says. Once zombies fully evolve, humans will never get another chance to fight back.”

“I also want to attack,” Liam insisted. “But we don’t have the strength yet. Give it a few years. When Base K1 is stable, when we have production and supplies, then we push back. Don’t go on this crazy mission, with him!”
