The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

After a full day of meetings, Hayley’s Haylight League had finally taken real shape.

The league now had nine bases.

+15 Bonus

Haylight Base, Base K1, Firebrand Base, Ember Base, Hope Base, Victory Base, Aegis Base, Keystone Base, and Bluewater Base

The number of people who could act alongside Hayley more than doubled overnight.

Although the newly joined bases couldn’t match the combat strength of Base K1 or Firebrand Base, numbers still mattered. More people meant more manpower, and their city-clearing speed would definitely increase.

The Haylight League now truly looked like a league.

On top of that, Hayley earned 5,000 points from the league. From now on, as trade within the league expanded, her points would only keep increasing.

Hayley hadn’t checked her points in a long time.

After wrapping up the meeting, she returned to the shelter, handed Griffin off for others to keep an eye on, and went to check her points.

[Current base points: 31,998,886.]

Seeing how much her points had grown over the past six months, Hayley broke into a smile.

Thirty million.

She wasn’t far from her small goal of 100 million anymore.

At this point, even if she didn’t expand territory and didn’t develop production, by simply relying on her current base output and league trade, she was earning tens of thousands of points every single day.

Base residents contributed over 200 base points daily, more than 5,000 production exchange points, and over 20,000 trade points from the league each day.

As things continued to develop, her points would only grow faster.

Hayley opened her base status panel.

(Current base residents: 67

Base war dogs: 16

Base guards: 4.5 2

T

League allies: 8

Territory area: 810 square miles

Base prosperity level: County]

Because she had already taken over two districts, her territory size had doubled directly

The population hadn’t grown much, but her fully automated base didn’t require many people in the first place

The number of residents was more than enough to keep things running

On top of that, Hayley had already stockpiled over 100 thousand crystal cores. She had kept all of them in her inventory without exchanging them.

Hayley felt a surge of motivation.

Keep going! The future looked bright!

Two days later…

A vehicle headed toward the outskirts of Brookville.

“Alex’s intel is usually pretty accurate,” Liam said inside the vehicle.

Liam genuinely didn’t know where the weapons depot was.

Weapon control had been extremely strict before the collapse. The military and its weapons were separated into countless layers, each with heavy approval requirements. Even Liam didn’t know where the depots were located.

Hayley studied the map Alex had provided and nodded. The marked location was in a stretch of forest on the far outskirts of Brookville.

It was relatively remote, with little human traffic. The difficulty didn’t seem high, so they decided to secure the weapons as soon as possible.

After all, their ammunition reserves were starting to run low.

The firearms and ammo in Hayley’s system inventory were different from real-world supplies. She couldn’t hand out system weapons freely, so they absolutely needed to make this trip.

As they got closer to Brookville, more zombies began appearing along the road.

Hayley hadn’t seen this many wandering zombies on a highway in a long time. Roads within the Aecraton zone had already been cleared.

“Raarh!”

“Raarh!”

A zombie with especially messy hair poked its head out of the passenger seat of an abandoned car on the opposite side of the road. Its face was covered in blood. It looked like it had gotten lucky and eaten well today.

After feeding on a human, it became wildly excited when it spotted another car.

It was like a gift from nature.

The zombie stretched out both arms and lunged toward Hayley’s vehicle at high speed, slamming straight into the window

Its hands clung tightly to the edge of the glass as it opened its mouth wide, letting out hoarse groans. Bright red blood dripped from its blackened teeth, smearing several streaks across the window.

Screeech!

Its long claws scraped against the metal, the sound of grinding steel sending chills through everyone inside

Bang!

A row of long spikes shot out froin the armored vehicle

They pierced straight through the zombie’s body.

However, while its torso was impaled, its head wasn’t. The zombie felt no pain at all. It kept roaring excitedly, pounding harder on the door, thrilled by the “food” inside.

+15 Bonus

At that moment, a turret extended from the roof, and a stream of flatnes blasted toward the zombie.

When the fire hit the mutated zombie, it only set its clothes ablaze Even its hair refused to catch.

Bang!
