"Don't look," Hayley said as she pulled Scarlett's head into her chest."What's wrong?" Wilona asked"She says she's feeling dizzy," Hayley replied simply. Wilona didn't suspect a thing. If anything, she thought the drug was just working faster than expected.She picked up the pace. "There's one more level."She lifted the flooring in front of them, and another staircase leading downward appeared."Come on down. Most of our people live below."They were terrified of zombies and didn't dare live in surface buildings. Besides, there were pregnant zombies nearby. Who knew when the zombie babies might crawl in?So, their real base was underground.Before Timberfall was developed, an underground tunnel network was built as a wartime shelter.The passages connected several locations around Timberfall. Now, they served as a perfect hiding place from zombies.Whenever danger appeared, everyone hid below.The moment Hayley reached the underground level, more than a dozen men came

A little over ten minutes later, everyone in the tunnels had been brought back above ground. The eight women who were rescued just stood there trembling, completely numb and unresponsive."Damn. My base starved half to death, and we never ate people. Are these things even human? I can't stand looking at this," Milo said darkly after seeing what they had done.Hayley glanced at him. "You don't exactly have the best reputation, either."Milo turned to her. "I kill people. I don't eat people. I've got a line."Hayley had no reply to that.There were 21 people in the underground den including Wilona, with 8 women kept as reserve food. There were 3 lookout points at the exits, and countless human remains.Most of the bodies were women, though there were men as well. Anyone who didn't belong to their inner circle had been butchered and dried for food.The pieces had even been sorted, legs and arms hanging one by one.Even Hayley, who had seen every kind of horror the apocalypse cou

Still in shock, Ruby reacted like a startled animal. She hugged her head and curled tightly into her seat.Seeing this, Hayley wrapped an arm around Ruby. Cold fury flared in her eyes. "Don't be scared. I'm here."When Hayley was little, Ruby protected her. Now, it was Hayley's turn.Bang, bang, bang!Their window was hammered violently from the outside. A gang of rough-looking men pounded on the glass like mad dogs. They looked just like those violent backwoods types who chased down runaway women and beat on doors to drag them back."Get out and hand her over!""That woman belongs to us!""If you don't give her back, you're finished!"The windows slid down slowly, one by one, revealing rows of black gun barrels.The men outside froze immediately."Uh… Hey, man…"The doors opened, and everyone in the vehicle stepped out. Just Scarlett standing there with a rifle was already terrifying, not to mention the rest of the team. Every one of them looked dangerous.Liam. Mi

Hayley was speechless.Ruby looked at Hayley seriously. "Holly, if you can get me those chemicals, I can make you defense spray!"Hayley's eyes lit up at once.Ruby was a treasure!This spray would be insanely useful at critical moments.The best part was that regular people could use it, too. Anyone could carry it.Hayley suddenly understood why Hope Base grew so strong later on in her last life. They didn't have much firepower, but they still survived wave after wave of massive zombie attacks.It had all been because of Ruby.Hayley had just dragged another priceless asset home!"Deal. Write down what you need. I'll go find it," Hayley said immediately.Hot water soon arrived.Hayley had someone heat water for Ruby and personally helped Ruby wash up. When she saw the injuries all over Ruby's body, she wanted nothing more than to drag every one of those men out and kill them all again.Hayley wasn't punishing them for justice. She was driven by pure personal loyalty.If

By now, it had been eight months since the zombie outbreak.After the initial chaos and panic, human survivor bases were slowly adjusting.Among the many bases scattered around, the ones in poor locations didn't last long and were wiped out by zombie hordes.They flashed briefly on the global radio, leaving behind a single coordinate before disappearing forever.Others ran out of resources and couldn't go out for supplies, so they collapsed from within. The cannibal base Hayley ran into earlier was one such case. Even if they had never crossed her path, they wouldn't have survived more than a few months anyway.There were also all kinds of ridiculous reasons for failure. Infighting. Power struggles. Bases falling apart and people fleeing on their own.Some people completely lost their minds in the apocalypse. They went on killing sprees inside their own bases and ended up attracting zombie swarms.In the end, the ones still standing were either truly strong or just incredibly lu
