Chapter 457

“Ark One’s base has a population of about 40 thousand. It’s the largest of the 3 Ark bases. Last night, an infec person slipped inside. The result was catastrophic. More than 20 thousand people turned into zombies. Øver thousand were injured, and around 3 thousand managed to escape. Everyone else is trapped below level 3. Ev

they still haven’t regained control.”

now,

Hayley stood up immediately.

“How many infected caused that much damage?”

Liam frowned and slowly said, “One.”

Hayley raised her hand and gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

“Impressive.”

She was genuinely surprised. A single infected person had pushed an Ark base to the brink.

And this wasn’t the early days of the apocalypse.

Hayley had long considered the risk of secondary outbreaks inside large populations. That was why she kept strengthening internal security.

Her combat teams guarded the perimeter around the clock, clearing zombies nonstop. Her radar network and drone systems monitored the entire territory 24/7.

The moment a zombie appeared, alerts triggered, and attacks followed immediately.

More importantly, her league was fundamentally different from the Ark bases.

In Haylight League, almost everyone had killed a zombie before. Even ten-year-olds knew to grab a blade and ai for the head.

Everyone in the league had clawed their way through blood and disaster. They weren’t fragile people raised unde protection.

They weren’t afraid of zombies.

Hayley was confident that even if a secondary outbreak happened inside her base, there might be some casualties at first, but within an hour, the situation would be fully under control, with every infected eliminated.

That kind of confidence came from surviving fire and blood.

To them, zombies were no longer terrifying monsters. They were just walking rot that could be killed. So when Hayley heard that one infected had reduced Ark One to this mess, she almost couldn’t believe it

One zomlar How incompetent did you have to be?

Lain sighed 1 cant believe it either”

“How did they let that happen? Hayley asked “Do they not screen for infections at all?”

“Grandpa babijt was berause of Hearthtall”

Hayley looked puzzled

“The base allowed people to pra cost dide to celeinate the holiday.” Liam explained When everyone was out, a

+15 Ba

zombie horde suddenly appeared. They all rushed back underground, and an infected slipped in with the crowd. There were too many people to screen properly. Not long after returning, that person turned. The virus exploded inside the base.”

Hayley listened and nodded slowly. “Legendary.”

Managing to wipe out your own base during a holiday celebration was next level.

Liam stayed silent.

He felt the same way, but unlike Hayley, he couldn’t just say it out loud. Letting that many people leave a sealed underground base during a critical period was reckless beyond belief.
