Chapter 893

“What’s wrong?”

Hayley snapped her eyes open the second she saw Ruby rushing in.

“I’ve figured out Serum X!” Ruby’s eyes burned with intensity, a mix of excitement and unease. “Do y know what it really is?”

“I do. A highly concentrated zombie virus.” Hayley stayed relatively calm. She already knew its main component.

She had been injected with a dose just last night.

That insane group from Ascendant Creed had created a high-density zombie virus.

She still couldn’t understand what they were trying to accomplish.

They kept talking about evolution. If that was the goal, shouldn’t they be working on evolution serums fo the Gifted, something to strengthen humans?

Instead, they came up with something she couldn’t make sense of. 2

That was why she had rushed back today. She wanted answers from Kurt.

“It’s more than that.” Ruby stepped closer, holding out a report. She took a breath. “Serum X can increase

the viral concentration inside an infected host. It enhances their gifts and pushes their evolution forward. In other words, it’s a serum designed to help zombies evolve.”

Hayley’s eyes widened.

A serum…meant to evolve zombies.

For a brief second, her mind went blank.

Then, everything hit at once.

Decider Three had told her to join them, to step into a new world.

Kyle had said everything the Ascendant Creed did was for evolution.

Evolution, evolution, evolution…

Hayley suddenly realized she had been wrong at the most fundamental level.

There was nothing wrong with evolution itself.

The problem was that Ascendant Creed was never trying to evolve humanity.

They were trying to evolve zombies!

That

they developed Serum X, using it as an evolution catalyst for their Sovereign Legion

93

And the Sovereign Legion was…a legion of zombies.

They weren’t building a future for humans. They were trying to create a world ruled by zombies.

At that moment, someone knocked on her door.

Still reeling, Hayley looked up and saw Kurt wheeling in.

The instant she saw him, she moved. In a blink, she appeared right in front of him.

“What exactly are you people doing?”

“Woof! Woof!” Kurt’s dog started barking in alarm.

Hayley didn’t even glance at it. She grabbed both sides of Kurt’s wheelchair, and a powerful wave of mental energy poured out of her.

In an instant, everyone in the room felt as if a massive mountain had crashed down on them, crushing the air from their lungs.

The dog, the weakest under that pressure, collapsed onto the floor, whimpering in pain.

Kurt’s expression tightened as he looked at it. He struggled to speak through the pressure. “Let us go.”
