The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373

For weapons and equipment, Hayley planned to put Kit and Cyril in charge. For virus research, she already had Ruby and Alex.

Once those two major breakthroughs happened, the fight between humans and zombies would reach a true turning point.

In her previous life, everyone had been in chaos. There was no leader. People were scrambling just to survive, worrying only about food, with no energy left for anything else.

This time, Hayley had solved the food crisis first. Next, she could finally try to rewrite fate itself

They barely got a decent night’s rest.

Everyone took turns resting. When Hayley’s alarm went off, they all packed up and got moving.

“It’s six thirty.”

They were still underground. The signal was terrible, but Hayley estimated that it had to be daylight outside by now. She led everyone toward the exit.

As the large group moved together, she suddenly felt the tracks beneath her feet vibrating. It was the kind of vibration caused by a lot of people running.

She stopped and looked around.

“Something’s not right,” Liam said, stopping as well.

“I cleared out a wave of zombies in the subway earlier,” Hayley said, her brows tightly knit.

“When the city was attacked, there were a lot of mutated zombies,” Liam said, grabbing her arm. “Most of them have enhanced smell and hearing. Wherever we hide, they can track us exactly.”

Hearing that, Hayley suddenly looked toward the massive pile of zombie corpses they had blocked off days ago with steel wire fencing.

Boom!

Boom!

Rumble…

The sound of countless feet pounding through the underground tracks thundered closer and closer, like an army charging forward.

Hayley stared into the pitch-black tunnel ahead. Her eyes sharpened instantly. “Turn around! Run, now!” She spun around and led everyone sprinting back toward the deeper subway tunnels behind them. The moment they reversed direction, the subway station exit they had planned to leave from was already

being flooded by a zombie tide drawn by scent

A black mass of zombies poured in like a raging flood, swarming through every entrance of Far Park Station They rushed down the stairs, surged into the underground concourse pushed throug rows of turnstiles, and charged relentlessly toward the platform

There was only one line here. Only one platform

The zombies surged forward, charging at full speed.

Hayley led the survivors deeper into the subway, running for their lives. The tunnel stretched endlessly ahead, pitch-black and suffocating.

After they had run about 300 yards, the first wave of zombies reached the tunnel entrance

Some of them rushed into subway cars with open doors, sniffing blindly as they crowded inside, packed tight. Others climbed over the trains like a flood, swarming straight into the tunnel itself.

Ahead of them stood a massive steel wire mesh barrier. The first zombies died there, but they couldn’t stop the endless waves pressing forward behind them.

The zombies slammed into the wire mesh one after another. Some of the luckier ones were sliced in half, leaving only their upper bodies. With both hands clawing at the ground, they kept dragging themselves forward, snarling as they chased.

More and more of those half-zombies piled up. And under their relentless pressure, strands of steel wire finally broke with loud snaps.

With nothing left to stop them, the zombie horde burst through, sprinting forward.
