Finally, they discovered the underground training base.
“Zoey may be hiding inside!”
Levi’s eyes burned with hope.
Even though the defenses of the underground training base weren’t destroyed, it had suffered significant damage still.
Although everyone inside survived, many of them suffered various degrees of injuries.
As the underground training base was opened up, the survivors were rescued one by one.
Levi waited at the entrance with joy.
However, when more and more survivors emerged, Levi began to panic as there was still no sign of Zoey.
“That’s the last one!”
Levi was stunned the moment the last person was rescued as it wasn’t Zoey at all.
“Impossible! Is there anyone inside still?”
Levi’s face was filled with disbelief.
“No, this is the last one.”
The rescuers loaded the man onto the stretcher.
“I don’t believe it!”
Levi entered the training base and started looking everywhere.
After circling the place, he didn’t find a single soul.
Zoey’s not here and neither is Jared! There’s no sign of Wynona too.
When he returned to where the rescuers were, he began asking the survivors about what happened.
“You can stop looking. They’re all gone! No one else survived!” the survivors told him.
“What?”
Levi’s mind was blown as he couldn’t accept what they said.
“That devil, Jared, had managed to change his body composition through his experiments. After that, he experimented on Zoey too, thinking of controlling her mind forever! In order to stop him, Wynona started the particle collider…”
“We saw everything with our own eyes! Wynona chose to sacrifice in order to stop him!”
The survivors related everything that had happened to Levi, sending a chill down his spine.
“Wynona chose to die together with him?” he asked with a trembling voice.
“Yes. When the superparticles collided, the energy released obliterated the entire training base. No one could have survived that.”
“They must have turned into dust! Nothing would be left of them!” the survivors exclaimed.
“Is she dead?” Levi mumbled to himself just like a madman.
“It’s all your fault! You’re the ones who are responsible, but why are you the ones that have survived instead?”
Suddenly, Levi raged at the survivors like a beast.
They wanted to retort but couldn’t think of a valid reason.
Strictly speaking, they were the cause of it all.
If not for them, none of this would have happened.
Fifty years of work would also not have been wasted while countless other lives would have been saved.
Everyone became fearful when they felt Levi’s murderous intent.
He is the Fiery Demon after all.
Killing someone in anger is to be expected of him.
“Calm down, please! Calm down!” the rescuers beseeched him.
However, Levi continued to glare at the survivors with his blood boiling underneath his skin.
If Zoey was really dead, all these people will have to pay with their lives.
Also, everyone at The Cardinal Hall had to die.
Why did they hand Zoey over?
Just when Levi was about to go on a rampage, one of the rescuers interjected, “Not necessarily! There may still be other survivors. We have only searched through half the rubble. Hence, we should continue looking!”
The words were meant to remind Levi that there was still hope.
Recovering his composure, he continued the search.
“That’s right! Zoey isn’t dead. She won’t die that easily!” Levi mumbled as he joined the rescuers.
As time passed, Levi and everyone else dug through every corner.
Much to their disappointment, they found nothing.
An hour later, only the area around Lab Number One had yet to be uncovered.
“The lab they were in was here. This is where we will most likely find them!”
