ariant. They had absolute influence over anything or anyone

Hayley’s radar-style mental variant, a control variant developed straight toward mastery and domination.

Anything inside their mental energy field responded to their will. Their abilities included telekinesis, hypnosis,

ers, and more

Within their zone, they were absolute rulers. They were nothing like Hayley’s scanning type.

To put it into numbers, out of 1,000 Gifted, maybe 1 or 2 were mental variants. Out of 1,000 mental variants, maybe 1 became a control variant.

Control variants were genuinely top tier.

But they had limits.

Their power only worked inside their controlled zone. Once something left their domain, they lost influence

ompletely

Colike Hayley’s mental energy, which could stretch outward and even attack from afar, a control variant’s strength was confined to a small, dense area.

They couldn’t expand the area much. They could only strengthen their control within it.

The gift was powerful, but heavily restricted.

Chat sharp, needle-like spike of mental energy had noticed her probing earlier. It immediately lashed back, trying

to catch the source.

But it clearly wasn’t as strong as Hayley.

The moment Hayley realized that she was brushing against a control variant, she withdrew instantly. Once she was out of their domain, they couldn’t detect her at all.

After this brief, silent clash, Hayley rubbed her temple. She had basically stripped Hope Base bare.

So they had a control variant hidden inside.

At that moment, the door of Hope Base’s vehicle opened. Alex stepped out, still in his spotless white uniform,

anning the area with a tense, heavy expression.

Hayley smirked. Well, that confirmed who the control variant was.

Alex was furious.

He had clearly sensed someone probing his people just now, but he couldn’t catch even a hint of the intruder. Whoever it was had a powerful mental variant ability.

They entered his domain without him noticing until they dug too deep, and when he finally sensed them, they vanished instantly. He couldn’t catch them even inside his own field.

Who was it? Their mental strength was terrifying,

They had peeled back Hope Base’s secrets, yet he couldn’t even find their shadow.

Damn it!

He scanned the area again, searching the crowd.

Then, a voice rang out.

“Your base didn’t come out to fight the zombies last night, did you?”

A member of Victory Base stormed toward Hayley.

His shout drew attention from all the other small bases. Only now did everyone remember.

Hayley’s group really didn’t help last night.

“I was asleep,” Hayley said lazily, not at all bothered by the accusation.

The man exploded. “Asleep? Are you kidding me? We were out there fighting for our lives! We lost people! And you were snoring away inside your car? You could sleep through that?!”

“What else was I supposed to do?” Hayley tilted her head.
