Suddenly there was a huge explosion, ripping apart the ward and the supposedly indestructible isolation installation Zoey was in.
Wynona used her power to block off the radiating energy, saving the hospital from being razed to the ground, and at the same time, giving all the people a chance to survive.
Bruce looked on with disbelief. He had not expected Zoey would be able to break apart an installation that even a Rank Seven could not.
Her strength was beyond his imagination.
So what happened?
Was it a success or failure?
“Zoey!” Wynona yelled as she made her way through the thick smoke to check on Zoey.
“Huh?” The next moment, she froze in her track, and her expression changed. She could sense a menacing aura around her, and it gave her the shudders.
It was an extremely horrible atmosphere. One could imagine hell to feel that way.
As the smoke faded, she vaguely saw a pair of bloodshot beast-like eyes.
Wynona was not the only one who sensed the suffocating dread in the air. Bruce and his team also felt that. It felt eerily similar to the highly secretive laboratory where they were experimenting on mutants.
“Oh…”
Had she turned into a monster?
Before Wynona could think through it, she intuitively sensed she was being targeted.
Boom!
Zoey lept across the room, quick as lightning, and was in Wynona’s face in a flash.
Bang!
A strong wave of energy flooded toward Wynona like a tsunami, and she resisted it with all her might.
Swish…!
Wynona was sent hurtling back, her feet dragging on the ground, leaving two deep trails. She only managed to steady herself after a hundred feet.
That came as a massive shock to Wynona.
She was no longer an ordinary human being but was a superwoman with formidable superpowers.
Yet, she was sent flying off with just one blow.
That showed how terrifying Zoey was.
Wynona was bewildered by Zoey’s transformation.
She had done a rough assessment of her own prowess and she believed she could easily defeat a Rank Eight.
She believed she could stand shoulder to shoulder with the forerunners on the Gem List, and that was a conservative estimation, so she would most likely be more powerful than that.
Alas, even she, could not take Zoey on!
Bruce and his team were alarmed, having witnessed Zoey’s powers.
He was dying to know if it was Jared or Zoey who was in control of that body.
He did not have much time to contemplate, as Zoey had rushed over with a menacing look in her wild eyes.
Rip! Rip!
Zoey was an unstoppable demon, killing anyone in her path, and many of Bruce’s men were ripped apart.
Bruce activated the invisible protective armor he had on and shouted at Zoey, asking, “Who are you? Are you Zoey or Jared?”
“What? Of course, I am Zoey!” she snorted without any hesitation. However, her voice was cold and ruthless, like a blood-thirsty demon. It was definitely not the voice of Zoey!
“What happened? Is that really her?” Wynona and her team cowered in fear.
When Levi ran into Oakland City with Okano, he heard the news that Ms. Wilcox sent out an open invitation to top medical specialists. Upon finding out Ms. Wilcox was Wynona, and that the patient she was seeking help for was a woman, he immediately suspected the patient to be Zoey!
Initially, he had planned to interrogate Okano once they settle in Oakland City. However, when he heard the news about Zoey, he cast everything aside, found out the hospital they were in and rushed over.
Okano’s interrogation was no longer important in comparison and could wait. Zoey was sick, so he had to be there for her.
At the same time, those warriors pursuing him were also closing in on him. They quickly found out the direction he was heading and went after him.
