The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320

About eight ferocious-looking Zombies crammed into the doorway, howling as they forced their way in through the narrow gap Mona had slipped through

Thankfully, the entrance had two layers Behind the metal outer door was a wooden sliding door

Julian reacted fast and slammed the wooden door shut. The moment the zombies smashed through the metal door outside, there was a loud thud as they slammed into the wooden one instead.

The people inside finally had a brief moment to catch their breath.

However, that relief was immediately followed by accusations.

Sophie forced herself to stay upright and glared at Mona. “What did you drug us with?!”

Mona, shaking after her brush with death, hid behind Julian. “Just some sleeping pills. You would’ve slept it off by morning.”

The moment she said that, everyone was furious.

Just sleeping pills? Sleep it off by morning?

This was the apocalypse. No one could afford to pass out for a whole night and still expect to see sunrise!

“You stole our supplies!” Sophie shouted.

Mona looked completely confused. “Supplies? What supplies?”

“Stop pretending! All our supplies are gone. You had to be the one who took them!”

“I didn’t take anything!” Mona shook her head hard. “I swear, I didn’t steal your supplies!”

“If you didn’t steal them, why did you sneak off in the middle of the night and steal our car?”

“I… I…” Mona couldn’t explain herself. She clutched Julian’s arm. “I really didn’t take the supplies. Jul, you believe me, right?”

Julian had saved her, but this time, even he didn’t look convinced. “If you took them, hand them over.”

“I didn’t take them! I swear! It wasn’t me,” Mona pleaded.

Hayley watched the entire scene play out.

At first, she had also assumed Mona was guilty. Mona had an inventory ability and a clear motive. The murder, footing, and escape appeared flawless.

Sophie was clearly unhappy. Just then, a calm voice cut in

“We’re going upstairs, too. We still have things up there.”

Haviey finally spoke.

Only then did Sophie really look at Hayley’s group. “Captain Reid, upstairs isn’t safe. The basement has an emergency exit We can leave through there.”

“No need,” Hayley replied casually. “We’re not scared. It’s just a few dozen zombies. No big dear.”

Sophie’s expression subtly changed.

At that moment, the lights in the lodge, which had been out for a long time, flickered and came back on.

“Todd!” Victor shouted when he saw the lights. “Let’s go to the basement. My brother’s still down. there!”

“If you want to go, that’s your choice. We’re not going,” Hayley said flatly.

Victor didn’t hesitate. He hoisted Jim and Sophie and headed downstairs. Julian tried to follow, but Mona grabbed him tightly and refused to let go.
