Chapter 151 - EVO
***Tirnanog, Aerie Flagship***
***Magnus***
I gave off a thoughtful snort as I studied the corpse hanging from the wall.
Zacharias had indeed kicked the bucket after two days of being hung upside down. My second sight told me in no uncertain terms that his heart had stopped beating and whatever electromagnetic field his body generated had dropped down to environmental levels.
From my point of view, he was dead as a rock – the thought had me chuckle inwardly.
In the end, nobody had spoken up in Zach’s defence. No matter how small the risk of his fantastical tale being a crafty lie was, as long as there was a risk, nobody would take the chance of keeping him around for longer than necessary.
I had to give it to him that he shared quite a lot of information about the enemy.
Personally, I never got the feeling this particular clone was truly on our side. As Zach forewarned in the beginning, the whole story felt like he was trying to use us for his benefit.
Like me, Vanya had been there most of the time and looked exhausted. Both of us had only stepped out for physical necessities. Mary and Felix shared shifts till it became clear that Zach was no longer in a state to flee even if he wanted to.
