The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405

Hayley remembered clearly that she had never sold any evolution serum to Scott

Alex hadn’t, either.

Scott’s base had been trapped in the city center the whole time and had never traded with the outside world.

After hearing Hayley’s question, Scott reached out to the thin man beside him. A bright, glossy crystal core immediately appeared in his palm.

He took out a bottle of water and rinsed the crystal core. Right in front of Hayley, he crushed it with his bare hand. A few drops of clear liquid flowed out of the shattered crystal core.

Scott tilted his head back and drank it down.

Behind Scott, quite a few Gifted pulled crystal cores out of their pockets. They did the same thing, crushing them and swallowing them directly.

Some were even more extreme, tossing the crystal cores straight into their mouths, chewing them like bones, crunching loudly before spitting out the dry shell.

Hayley’s heart started pounding at the sight.

Even the crystal cores Alex refined with the evolution extractor still had impurities. Eating too many could drive people insane.

And these people were eating them raw!

At that moment, Hayley felt that in her previous life, their quick downfall wasn’t just because zombie evolution swallowed them

whole.

It was because these people were all lunatics, walking barefoot on a blade’s edge.

Either the zombies died, or they did.

Someone had to die.

“Want one? It’s on me,” Scott said, extending his hand toward Hayley.

Hayley felt like she was looking at someone a hundred times crazier than herself.

And he still wore that polite, gentle smile every day.

“No, thanks. That’s not how we eat them,” she said.

“Oh? Then how do you eat them?”

“We cook them,” Hayley replied calmly.

Scott fell silent.

Suddenly, he felt that Hayley might be right Cooking them could mean better absorption

As evening approached, Scott’s people set up camp where they were

Large cooking pots were set up one after another

Fire-element Gifted started the flames, while water element Gifted added water Everyone began cooking dinner

This was the most well supplied base Hayley had ever encountered Scott had plenty of resources There was food and side dishes, and even drinks were handed out

Normally, she was the one feeding others. Today, she finally got to eat someone else’s food.

Scott prepared a separate pot just for Hayley, asking what she liked, and made her a hearty serving of slow-braised ribs with

mashed potatoes.

He sat down and served both Hayley and Griffin a plate, playing the perfect host as he ate with them.

Just then, loud shouting suddenly erupted behind them.

“Aaaah!”

“Argh!”

“Aaaah!”

Hayley looked up; a man in the crowd behind them suddenly went berserk, lunging at a companion and opening his mouth to

bite.

He clamped down on the other man’s ear, and the victim screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
