1 Levana Adira
The laboratory was filled with all kinds of instruments and equipment, ranging from microscopes to surgical tools. Two operating tables stood side by side, each about two meters apart. On one of the tables lay Levana, still and motionless, while on the other table, a young girl around nine years old cried uncontrollably.
"Mommy, Mommy…"
Levana woke up in pain as the researcher kept administering drugs to her.
Hearing the familiar cries, Levana struggled, "You shitty freaks. Let go of Valerie."
Ignoring Levana's fierce resistance, the white cloth researchers pushed the medical equipment closer to Valerie.
A female researcher injected an unknown substance into Valerie's arm. Within minutes, her cries weakened.
Seeing the researcher disinfecting the scalpel, Levana's pupil enlarged as she screamed, "Don't you dare touch her! You hear me! You will gonna regret it!"
Levana know that these damn researchers want to give Valerie cardiovascular surgery, or rather, they want to remove her heart while she is still alive!
"You crazy freaks! She still a child!"
Levana kept struggling as she didn't care about the wound on her bounds, hands, and feet. She knows that this researcher is crazy. Valerie is only nine years old this year, yet they want to open and remove her heart while she is still alive just to keep the ability core in her heart intact!
She couldn't absolutely watch these people remove her heart! Valerie is the only child of her late younger twin sister! She is the only remaining blood relative of Levana in this world! She treated Valerie as her own child, so how could she let them remove her heart just to use it in experiments.
But no matter how hard she struggled and shouted, the researchers continued with their preparation for the operation, seemingly oblivious to her distress.
"No matter how you shout, You can't do anything!" - A woman's voice suddenly rang out
As the researchers were busy with their work, a familiar voice caught their attention. They stopped what they were doing and turned their gaze towards the door, where they saw a woman in her mid-twenties walking in.
She was holding onto the arm of a tall man who seemed to be accompanying her. The woman's appearance was striking, with her sharp features and long, curly hair cascading down her back. The researchers greeted the woman warmly.
"Miss Jane!"
Jane ignores the researchers as she approaches the operation table where Levana is.
Upon seeing them, Levana's pupils shrank in anger as she gritted her teeth,
"Why? Why on earth would you betray me? What have I done to deserve being sent to this damn place with Valerie? I trusted you, yet you slipped an ability suppressant into my water! How could you do this to me? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS? WHAT DID I DO WRONG, ANDREW PI?" Levana couldn't help but scream in anger!
Andrew Pi is an assistant professor of psychology at B University, the same university she attended before the doomsday happened.
While working on her graduation thesis, she visited Professor Han's office frequently to seek her guidance. Since he is the assistant professor under Professor Han, They became acquainted.
During the doomsday, she quickly awakened her abilities of space and fire, and they managed to flee from the school with other students. They stayed together, relying on each other for survival, and he even expressed his romantic feelings towards her.
Upon receiving the devastating news of her younger sister Ava's death with her baby and the transformation of Ava's Twin sister Ami into a zombie, Andrew Pi was with her as he comforted her and stayed by her side throughout it all.
Despite the loss of her loved ones due to the apocalypse, she considered herself fortunate to have someone with her.
For the past nine years, they have been inseparable companions. Throughout his eight-year pursuit of her, he never showed interest in any other girl. Levana was initially hesitant about his advances, but eventually, she relented and accepted him as her lover.
She should realize it sooner. It's already been nine years since the doomsday began, and it has also been nine years since this man is at her side.
She should realize that this man stayed at her side and acted like he deeply loved her because she was a strong ability user and saw her as an asset to his survival in this doomsday world fraught with danger and uncertainty.
It's been many years since the doomsday started, and Andrew Pi has been by her side for the same amount of time, showing her love and support.
However, she should have realized that he only stayed with her and pretended to love her because she is a vital ability user. Given the unpredictable nature of the current zombie apocalyptic world, he viewed her more as an asset crucial to his survival rather than a lover.
Despite being officially together for a year, She never touched him. The occasional kiss was also his initiative, and she would hesitate every time he wanted to take a step further, but he would then reassure her that he was willing to wait.
Hah! By the looks of it now, He couldn't wait! The moment he found a powerful supporter, he betrayed her!
At this moment, Levana suddenly felt relieved; if she had made love with such kind of man, she would definitely regret it.
"Don't blame me Levana. It's you who made a mistake. I'm just pursuing what I want." His once gentle gaze towards her had lost its warmth.
Following the apocalypse, there were no legal constraints, and people's moral conscience gradually decayed.
The people who can survive till now have all blood in their hands, doing everything they can to survive in this wretched world and get what they want. And he is also the same. Therefore, he traded a woman he couldn't use for what he wanted.
Levana laughed as she looked at the man who had professed love for her but ultimately betrayed her trust.
Despite her high IQ and strong abilities, Levana was just a 19-year-old girl who had lost her entire family during the apocalypse, leaving her devastated and lonely. Even with her ability, surviving was a challenge. However, Andrew Pi had always stood by her side, offering words of comfort and caring for her when she needed it most.
As an assistant professor pursuing his doctorate in psychology, Professor Han had always praised him for his intelligence and skill in the field.
And Levana just realized now that he had taken advantage of her vulnerability and used it for his own benefit all these years. And she had been entirely unaware of his manipulations.
Seeing Levana laugh with that crazy look in her eyes, Jane couldn't help but shudder as she cursed, "Crazy Bitch."
"Let's go Darling." - Jane said and just the two were about to leave one after another, Levana stop laughing as she said, "You betrayed me. Then you need to pay a price."
As Jane heard Levana's words, she turned to look at her. Just then, she saw a strange smile on Levana's pale face, making her uneasy. As Jane was about to say something, she heard a loud cracking sound, and her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the handcuffs and irons that bound Levana's limbs fall to pieces. It happened so quickly that Jane barely had time to react, and she stood there, motionless, staring at Levana in shock.
Levana got off the operating table as she stood up. In the eyes of the people inside the lab, Levana's body was suddenly shrouded with an electric current as she waved one of her hands, and the electricity surged toward the researchers standing near Valerie.
The intense current hits them with a jolt as their body engulfed in electricity that quickly turns them into ashes.
The air was filled with a burnt smell, and everyone in the lab was in shock and terror. On the other hand, Levana remained calm as if nothing had happened.
Jane and Andrew's legs tremble with fear as they stare in shock at Levana,
"Y-you, How did you have Thunder Ability?" - Andrew Pi is horrified as he cannot help but wonder when she obtained it.
