Although it pained her to use the Divine Wood, Nina Jacobs still wanted to give it a try.
This place wasn’t close to Veridia.
These people were collecting supplies from resource points along their route, and they probably had no way to offload them mid-trip.
Most of the supplies they collected would be stored in the space of a Space Superpower User.
Just like Julian Shaw’s space, which contained a large amount of Drakonian supplies.
"You’re the first living person I’ve tried this on. I have no idea if it’ll work.
If it doesn’t, this will be a real waste."
Nina Jacobs muttered under her breath.
Gordon wanted to escape, but he was bound by a Thunder Net, unable to move an inch.
After the Divine Wood was stuffed into Gordon’s mouth, Wayne Warner gave him a light punch, and Gordon cried out in pain as he swallowed it down.
"What did you make me eat!"
Gordon coughed in agony.
Swallowing a block of wood whole was not a pleasant feeling.
Moreover, the way the woman before him looked at him was like he was a lab rat.
She seemed to be using her Superpower to do something to his body.
Gordon felt his brain losing control over his body.
Nina Jacobs watched the time, and she watched Gordon’s reaction.
According to the method used in Whittaker Town, when using the Puppetry Technique on a person, you first had to "kill" their subjective consciousness.
But she couldn’t accomplish that step yet.
She had to rely on the Divine Wood and her Wood Element Superpower for control.
It took longer than she expected for Gordon to become unresponsive.
More than ten minutes later, Puppet Gordon’s gaze was just like Evander Langdon’s had been.
However, Nina Jacobs knew that if he was removed from the control of her Wood Element Superpower, the Puppetry Technique used on Gordon would likely fail very quickly.
"Let’s go. Take me to your Space Superpower User."
Nina Jacobs commanded.
Wayne Warner had already dissipated the Thunder Net, and Gordon staggered to his feet.
"How many Space Superpower Users do you have in total?"
Nina Jacobs asked, following behind Gordon.
When it came to answering a question, Gordon seemed completely unable to process it, and he stopped dead in his tracks.
’So it doesn’t work like a Truth-telling Talisman?’
Nina Jacobs issued a new command, and only then did Gordon resume walking forward.
The Puppetry Technique could only issue commands to make a puppet "do" or "say" something.
But it couldn’t make their brains recall things they previously knew, so naturally, no secrets could be extracted.
The entrance to the outskirts of Mirewood was still some distance from the urban center.
Nina Jacobs ordered Gordon to get in the car, and then drove inside.
It wasn’t until they saw several more white vans that the three of them got out of the car.
In the middle of the vans was a white box truck.
ROAR!
Zombies were already lunging at the trio.
Gordon made no move to dodge. Nina Jacobs waved her hand, dispatching the few zombies with Fireballs.
Standing there, they could still hear the sounds of fighting and gunfire coming from within the town.
Nina Jacobs decided to wait here for a bit.
"Let’s at least wait until they’ve killed most of the zombies inside."
After speaking, Nina Jacobs used her Gold Element Superpower to rip open the door of the white box truck.
There were no supplies inside. Instead, it was filled with surveillance monitors.
The images on the screens appeared to be showing the battles on various streets within the town.
"Mr. Gordon? What are you doing here?
Who are these two?"
The two men inside the truck, who were watching the screens, saw Gordon and spoke in a language Nina Jacobs couldn’t understand.
Seeing Gordon remain silent, the two men realized something was wrong.
Just as they were about to grab the walkie-talkie to report, two surges of Thunder Superpower instantly subdued them.
Wayne Warner killed the two men directly with his Thunder Element Superpower.
Nina Jacobs looked at the scenes on the screens. "It seems this place is used to monitor the surroundings,
but this equipment..."
