She had hypothesized that although the old man saved them at the crucial moment, the blast had somehow affected her still and given her superpowers.
Therefore, Zoey might experience the same phenomenon too.
“Me?”
Zoey was surprised.
“Why don’t you try and see if there are any changes?” Wynona asked.
“Sure!”
By then, Zoey was already a warrior. Hence, she tried to sense the changes in her body.
However, she didn’t feel anything different.
“Let me try gathering my energy.”
At that moment, she felt an electrical jolt rush through her head.
The pain it caused felt as if her head was about to be blown apart.
In her mind, a hazy image appeared. But, she couldn’t tell what it was.
It felt as if there were a thousand needles tearing her brain apart, causing her to feel a terrifying sensation.
“Argh!”
Holding her head, Zoey screamed in agony before collapsing onto the ground and rolling in pain.
Wynona was shocked when she saw it.
What’s wrong with Zoey?
As if she had gone mad, Zoey grimaced on the floor and let out a demonic scream.
It was so terrifying that Wynona’s hair stood on end.
Her eyes were bloodshot while her eyeballs seemed as if they were about to pop out.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
She slammed her head onto the ground, letting out a frightening sound.
The shocking part was that the ground began to shatter with cracks appearing everywhere.
To Wynona, Zoey looked as if she was the devil herself.
Hence, she put her arms around Zoey and tried to restrain her.
“Zoey, calm down! You have to calm down!”
One minute later, Zoey finally calmed down and lost consciousness.
By then, she was drenched in sweat.
“What happened to her? Did the particle collision affect the nerves of her brain?”
Wynona did a preliminary analysis.
It seems not every failed experiment will gift everyone superpowers. It depends on one’s physical body and luck. So far, the particle collision seems to bring Zoey more harm than good.
“I should let her rest first. When she’s awake, I’ll take her back and examine what’s wrong with her,” Wynona mumbled to herself.
Zoey finally woke up a few hours later.
“Zoey, what happened to you just now?” Wynona asked.
Zoey massaged her head. “Just when I was gathering my energy, I could feel a burst of energy charging through my head. It felt so painful that I thought my head was about to explode. At that moment, I couldn’t feel myself. As if I no longer exist.”
Rubbing her head still Zoey took a deep breath.
“Don’t worry. Your nerves might have been affected by the blast. I’ll check on them once we get back,” Wynona reassured her.
“Erm, I think it’s no big deal too. After all, there doesn’t seem to be any changes to my body.”
Both Zoey and Wynona didn’t give it much thought.
However, that wasn’t what Wynona felt when she saw Zoey earlier. She was actually shocked by what happened.
When Zoey was unconscious, Wynona examined herself.
Not only did she have super strength, but her speed and intelligence had also broken all barriers.
In fact, she even acquired the ability to heal herself.
When she tried to cut herself, her skin quickly recovered.
The particle collision did a total upgrade of her physical capabilities.
“You are really lucky to have benefited greatly from the close shave,” Zoey commented with a smile.
“I’m sorry Zoey. All I could think of back then was to take Jared down alongside us.”
Wynona looked apologetic.
Zoey shook her head. “Don’t worry. By the way, where’s Jared? Did he survive the blast?” Zoey suddenly asked.
