The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690

All that was on their minds was to run.

Faster.

Faster, damn it!

The zombies were catching up!

With Hayley leading the way, the group sprinted out of the old castle and plunged into waist-high wild grass. They followed the same route they had come from, scrambling toward the cliff where their vehicles were parked

Behind them, a long line of zombies poured out, howling as they chased after them.

Zombies never got tired. But at that moment, neither did they.

“Raarh!”

“Raarh!”

“Raarh!”

Vroom!

Engines roared to life.

One armored truck started up. Two harvesters rumbled awake beside it. The doors were already open, the vehicles moving as people climbed aboard.

Everyone grabbed onto the person in front of them, hauling each other up one by one.

Just as a blood-soaked zombie, its joints twisted out of place from earlier impacts, staggered close enough to reach them

Bang!

All three vehicle doors slammed shut at the same time. The engines thundered, and the convoy tore away from the cliffside.

The zombies chasing behind them were quickly left in the distance, one by one falling behind until they were nothing

Inside the armored truck, Scott glanced at Hayley, who was driving. “Those zombies shouldn’t have been a problem for you, right?”

handle the zombies around here.”

Scott looked at her. “Once the supplies arrive, we’ll start.”

Hayley gave a short nod, hit the gas, and headed back toward her own base.

There was something she needed answers to

What exactly was that lab researching?

A name surfaced in her mind.

Her aunt, Ruby.

A few hours later, Hayley was back at base. She went straight to Ruby’s lab.

Inside, Ruby was in the middle of an experiment.

“What’s wrong? Why is it always just short?” Ruby frowned at the sluggish zombies in the observation room. “What exactly makes up the zombie virus?”

“Aunt Ruby.”

A voice called from outside the lab.

Ruby froze for a split second, then her frustration vanished.

“What is it, Holly?”

“Take a look at this.” Hayley handed over an intact ampoule.
