The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291

The capsule could save lives!

Derek bit down on the capsule immediately.

A massive surge of sharp, medicinal vapor burst out of his mouth. He opened wide, and the strength-enhanced zombie that was about to rip out his throat froze for a brief momen

Bang!

A tri-edged spike pierced straight into the mutant zombie’s head. In that razor-thin moment between life and death, Derek turned the tables and killed it.

“Derek! Run!”

Ethan, who had rushed in to support him, grabbed Derek and dragged him as they leapt down into their ambush point.

As they landed in the safe zone, zombies came crashing in after them.

What greeted the horde was an overwhelming barrage of elemental orbs.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Large swaths of the zombie tide were wiped out by the ambush.

Derek finally got inside the safe zone, his heart still pounding violently.

“Derek, that was insane! You even took down a mutant zombie!”

Derek shook his head hard. He opened his mouth, another wave of medicinal vapor pouring out as he said excitedly, “It was the capsule the boss gave me that saved my life! When I crushed it, the zombie froze for one or two seconds. That moment was all I needed to turn it around!”

Ethan’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “I noticed it, too! After I sprayed the stuff the boss gave us, the zombies chasing me today all hesitated when they got close!”

After comparing notes, Derek and Ethan both stared at each other in shock.

“Boss is insane!”

It wasn’t just them. Everyone else noticed it as well.

After using the spray Hayley brought, everyone had basically gained a buff during this operation.

Several times, when they were seconds from death, zombies that ambushed them froze for a brief moment. Those few seconds were enough to flip the situation and score a comeback kill.

It massively increased their chances of survival, especially for the average fighters with ordinary abilities.

Thinking about it, they couldn’t help wondering.

Was Hayley some kind of god?

“Hayley, what exactly is this stuff?”

After the brutal fight ended, Liam and Milo went to her, both still stunned.

+15 Bonus

By their estimates, the casualty rate in today’s full-scale assault should’ve been extremely high. They weren’t even sure they

would be able to break in at all.

Yet after Hayley went back to her base for a week with Griffin and returned, she brought them this unbelievable surprise.

Not only did they break through, but the casualties were also only one-tenth of what they had predicted.

What Hayley brought had practically saved everyone multiple times. It stacked a massive buff on all of them.

Hayley gazed out over the city, then turned back and said, “It’s nothing special. Just a stall research project from Haylight Base.

Liam and Milo were shocked.

Hell, no. That was not a “small research project”. This was almost on the level of an evolution serum!

Thinking that, the way they looked at Hayley changed completely, like she was in irreplaceable treasure.

She didn’t just have thousands of acres of fully automated farmland. She also had industrial-scale production lines. And now she had this insanely powerful, insanely practical cutting-edge research.

On top of that, she herself had a pile of gifts as trump cards and overwhelming personal strength.
