Chapter 249

“I told my grandpa about yourplan,” Liam said. “He said you’re the real deal. He even told me that if I don’t follow you, he’ll kick me out and take you as his granddaughter instead.

“So… Base K1 is officially joining the Haylight League!”

Hayley, who had been staring into the distance, turned around at once when she heard that.

Ding! (League member +1!]

Three days later, on a bright and cloudless morning.

“Raarh… Raarh!”

In the hallway of a residential building, a zombie that hadn’t eaten in a long time wandered back and forth.

It was wearing a pair of colorful summer board shorts and a white tank top on its upper body. Of course, the tank top was long past white, stained everywhere with dark brown filth.

Its chest had been dug open, and its liver and kidneys were gone. Half its heart had been torn away, and what remained was stil marked by teeth marks.

Its intestines spilled out of its abdomen, the torn edges clear with bite marks.

Luckily, it was winter.

In the brutal cold and snowstorms, flies no longer gathered around its body, and even maggots were much fewer.

It was wearing a flip-flop on one foot, while the other had it snagged around the ankle, making it wobble every time it moved.

But it kept wandering anyway, because…

It was hungry. So, so hungry.

It was so hungry that it was going mad!

At last, it caught the scent of fresh life.

Thick clothing couldn’t hide the smell of living flesh and blood.

The zombie in board shorts tilted its head toward the source, and there it was, a man in combat gear. 1

A warm, living body radiating heat.

“Raarh! Raarh! Raarh!”

The excitement in its cloudy white eyes surged as it dragged its trapped flip flop and changed at the man like a beast

At the same time, countless other zombies sensed the presence of living humans

A raging tide poured out of the residential blocks, crashing toward him. When the horde was less than ten feet away, the man turned and sprinted.

He wasn’t the only one

Men burst out from several nearby buildings at the same time, all running hard

They dragged massive packs of zombies down the streets behind them

On top of a vehicle, a woman held binoculars and watched the runner. The moment he crossed into then zone, she ratsed her

“Pull!”

With that single word, an ultra-thin steel cable snapped into place across the road from the second floors of two abandoned buildings.

The zombie in board shorts, leading the pack, was instantly beheaded.

At full speed, its fragile neck was sliced clean through by the wire. Its head fell while the body kept running on.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Zombie heads hit the ground one after another.
