Chapter 620

Billy Thorne froze.

Everyone around him froze, too.

He looked around in confusion, then his eyes finally landed on the young woman standing in front of them.

Hayley stood calmly in front of the crowd. Centered around her, every civilian behind her was shielded by an invisil

Such good labor, and they wanted to throw them away as zombie bait.

Those idiots didn’t want them, but she did. She would take every one of them back with her.

The moment the invisible barrier formed, the fighters in the arena stopped in their tracks.

Up in the stands, people were even more stunned.

From above, they could clearly see it.

A massive half-sphere barrier rising nearly 15 feet high. Every zombie and every Gifted fighter was locked outside it. ! them could get through.

“What kind of ability is that?”

“A mental-energy defensive shield,” Nathaniel said.

Not just him; every mental-variant Gifted present could feel it. A crushing wave of mental energy was spreading throug arena, and Hayley was the source.

“Can you guess what level her ability is?” someone asked.

Nathaniel inhaled slowly.

“She’s the ceiling,” he said quietly. “The highest level I’ve seen so far. At least level 6.”

His brother, Lance, had spent three years pushing his ability higher with the entire base supporting him

He had only just reached level 6 a few days ago.

Even then, Nathaniel wasn’t sure Lance could beat Hayley.

She was definitely level 6. Maybe higher.

“Our base’s strongest Gifted is only level 5,” Ark Three’s director said, staring with his mouth slightly open.

Gerard didn’t speak

His gaze grew darker as he watched the arena

Only three of his Gifted fighters were still alive. All of them were level 4 One of them had been close to breaking through to lev 5 recently

The zombies, now completely blocked by Hayley’s barrier, turned then attention elsewhere and rushed the remaining fighters

One of the Ark Three fighters was surrounded by at least 50 combies. Within seconds, he was dragged down. The creatures clung to his body, tearing at him with the teeth

He looked up toward his own people in the stands

Gerard turned his head away coldly

He didn’t even watch

Down in the arena, Nathaniel’s fighter had fallen into danger, too. A pack of zombies chased him across the entire

He kept running in circles. looked like he was trying to reach Hayley’s barrier.

Right now, it was the only safe place in the entire arena.

As he got close, he lifted his hands toward her. He was clearly hoping that, since he was from Ark One, she would hel

But just as he reached the edge of the barrier, an Ark Two fighter sprinted toward hire.

The man planned to rush inside together. Once inside, he could slaughter all the civilians hiding there.

Hayley watched them approach.

With her prediction ability, she had already seen exactly what the Ark Two fighter intended to do.

She deliberately opened a small gap in the barrier.

The moment the man rushed through, her blade flashed.

One clean strike, and both men dropped instantly.

Just like that, they were gone.

Now, only two fighters from Ark Two remained in the arena.

Hayley glanced toward them.

Both were still fighting deep inside the zombie horde. One was a lightning-variant Gifted, while the other had fire and m type abilities.

Their powers had been active for a long time already.

Hayley wasn’t in a hurry.

She stood calmly inside the massive barrier, holding it steady as she watched.

Outside, the two men kept battling through the zombie tide.

Their energy was draining little by little.

They had already realized what Hayley was doing.

But the problem was, they were waiting, too

They were walling for her ability to run out

Maintaining a shield that large should have exhausted her alreasly

So why the hell was it still standing?
