Suddenly, Zoey let out an agonizing scream, giving Wynona a fright.
“Zoey, are you all right?”
Zoey was holding onto her head and yelling hysterically.
The familiar scenes of Gamma Tech’s exterior and labs before its destruction flashed across her mind.
The more she recalled, the greater the pain she felt in her head.
The commotion alerted the guards nearby. When they rushed over, Wynona quickly led Zoey away.
She suspected that Zoey had sustained damage to her brain.
Soon, Wynona had brought Zoey to a private hospital in Oakland City for an examination.
As Wynona owned the hospital, she was able to not arouse any suspicion.
Right after the check-up, the results revealed that there was nothing wrong with Zoey.
Her brain didn’t sustain any damage, but the nerves in her brain had been thrown into chaos.
Wynona thought about Jared’s experiment at once.
Although it was interrupted in time, it had left a mild side effect on Zoey.
Consequently, the doctor advised Zoey to get more rest.
The result also eased the concerns both of them had.
“By the way, my men have reported back that other than those who hid in the underground training base, everyone else was dead. Hence, there’s no way Jared is alive!” Wynona remarked.
“That’s wonderful! We are finally rid of him!”
Zoey let out a smile.
However, she frowned the next moment. “But the Gamma Tech training base was destroyed. It was a high price to pay, and it all happened because of me!”
Wynona shook her head without much care. “It doesn’t matter. At most, I can compensate the alliance with my own scientific training base. Even though it isn’t as big as theirs, it will be sufficient for the time being.”
Zoey was surprised. “Your training base?”
“Yup. My dad and my grandpa are both the foremost scientists in their respective fields. My family owns a training base of international standards and another three of national standards…”
Wynona began explaining her family background.
She came from a family of scientists where everyone was a genius.
Therefore, she too became one at a very young age and had many accomplishments to her name.
It was all thanks to the environment she was brought up in.
“Ms. Wilcox, I cannot thank you enough. If not for you, I would have turned into Jared’s puppet. If that had happened, I would be better off dead. Even then, I wouldn’t even have the choice to kill myself,” Zoey thanked Wynona profusely.
“That’s the least I can do. Look, I even benefitted from the accident. Actually, both of us should be thanking the old man. If not for him, neither of us would be alive, don’t you agree?”
“You’re right. We are in his debt forever.”
Meanwhile, somewhere in Erudia…
Bruce and a few other men were gathered for a mission in Erudia.
He had come into the country on the pretext of hunting Levi, when in actual fact, he had a different objective.
From their perspective, Levi would undoubtedly be killed. However, no one expected him to still be alive.
They no longer paid any attention to Levi. Instead, they were focused on their mission.
Nevertheless, they had heard about what happened at the Gamma Tech training base and were aware that Jared had fallen.
Prior to that, Bruce had a brief meeting with Jared.
He was delighted to see how powerful Jared had become and thought that Zarain had gained a powerful ally.
However, he didn’t expect to hear of Jared’s demise in less than a day.
“That can’t be! Jared’s consciousness is still around although it’s currently very weak. Nevertheless, he is still alive!” one of Bruce’s subordinates remarked in surprise.
They had still managed to pick up the presence of his consciousness.
Hence, it was evidence that he hadn’t died.
Before Jared changed his own body composition, he had come to Bruce for help. He obtained a set of equipment to store his memory and turned it into an energy form.
Therefore, Bruce was using that same equipment to detect Jared’s consciousness.
He had verified that Jared was still alive.
