Doomsday Officers Operation Team-Chapter 62 Mutation
Chapter 62 - 62 Mutation
Charlotte, the culprit who caused this disaster, hopes more than anyone else that this disaster can be contained. Every person who died because of her is her crime. Everything is irreversible. Stopping the disaster and not letting more people die is already the best outcome. Just like this irreversible world, Charlotte's sins are too heavy and unforgivable. Charlotte is suffering all the time. No matter whether it is the living people struggling to survive or the zombies controlled by the mutated 'Blue Sea', they all make Charlotte extremely painful and remind her of what she has ruined the world into. Although she escaped the sanctions and survived, she lives like a walking corpse, living in endless guilt and self-blame.
Now that she knew that things had taken a turn for the better, even though she knew that this was most likely Will's excuse to trick her into going back, Charlotte was immediately moved.
Charlotte only has one life, and she cannot afford to pay for the lives of those who died, but if going back can put an end to everything, Charlotte is very willing to do so. She is eager to do something to make up for the mistakes she made. If she can go back and participate in the research on the detoxification potion for the mutant blue ocean and put an end to everything, then no matter what sanctions she faces, Charlotte will not escape again.
"If you go back and participate in the research of the antidote, the antidote will be developed faster," Will said sincerely.
Will wasn't lying, Charlotte's brain would only speed up the research process, which would be beneficial to everyone.
"But if I go back, will they let me participate in the research?" This is what Charlotte was worried about. After all, she was already a traitor. Would those researchers trust her and really let her participate in the research of detoxification drugs? Thinking about facing the strange looks of her former colleagues, Charlotte was very panicked.
Will smiled and comforted her: "From the beginning, your name has not been announced. No one knows that it was you who did that."
Indeed, even after the public was informed, Charlotte's name was not announced. People thought that the heinous traitor had died in the chaos. Even the scientific researchers did not know who it was and thought that the traitor had died long ago.
This was something Charlotte didn't understand. She violated the rules but wasn't executed immediately. She escaped but wasn't hunted down and her name wasn't even announced. It was as if this moment was planned so that she could return home safely. All this confused Charlotte and made her feel a little uneasy. But since her colleagues didn't know about it, they wouldn't cause trouble for Charlotte's research work. Charlotte made a decision without hesitation: "I'll go back with you."
Charlotte took a step in Will's direction, and little Duke, who was hiding in his mother's arms, saw that she was about to leave and exclaimed, "Miss Charlotte!"
Charlotte paused, she turned around to look at the mercenaries she had been working with for several months, and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry," then she didn't dare to look at them again and followed Instructor Will towards the helicopter.
The mercenaries watched Charlotte leave, and no one stopped her. After all, it was not worth it to have a conflict with the rescue team for Charlotte, and Charlotte left voluntarily. They could see what kind of relationship Charlotte had with the rescue team. The mercenaries hated the government and the rescue team, and Charlotte concealed all of this. No one liked to be deceived, but no matter what, they would never have thought that the reason Charlotte apologized was because she was a liar. She was the devil who caused all this in the eyes of these people.
Instructor Will was not in a hurry to leave. He saw that these mercenaries were exhausted and had no ammunition and equipment, so he called two trainees to take off their equipment together with them, and then left them on the ground for these mercenaries before leaving. Instructor Will didn't care about the lives of these people, but there were fewer and fewer living people in this world. Leaving some weapons behind at least gave these people some hope and allowed them to live longer. Will had contact with mercenaries and understood their personalities. He knew that these mercenaries would never leave with the rescue team, and this was the only thing he could do.
Even though she knew she would end up badly, Charlotte felt relieved. She had never felt so relaxed since escaping from Belster.
The plane took off. Charlotte looked through the window at the mercenaries picking up the equipment Will had left behind. Then she looked away and asked Will, "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to a safe city nearby first," Will said to Charlotte. "There is a researcher there. You can ask her about the research on the antidote."
Charlotte nodded and reached out to touch her pocket, where there was a neatly folded piece of letter paper, or rather, a suicide note.
Charlotte hesitated for a while, but still asked Will: "I want to ask you about a student."
Will nodded, signaling Charlotte that she could ask questions.
Charlotte bit her lip, lowered her voice, suppressed her emotions and asked: "Suwan, is she still alive?"
The students only understood that Charlotte was an android from the conversation between Charlotte and Will, but there was nothing much to say. The students knew a little about the android experiment and knew that this experiment had always been going on. Besides, Charlotte was so outstanding as an android that even the students who were experimental subjects would not discriminate against her.
But Angela, who knew the truth, obviously understood a little more.
Angela knew it was not the right time to tell everything. She sat beside Charlotte with her weapon in her arms and didn't even bother to look at her. But when she heard her mention Suwan, Angela looked at her in confusion, not understanding how Charlotte and Suwan were related. Oh... it wasn't that there was no connection at all. Charlotte was let go by Suwan. Angela kept her mouth shut even tighter, because Angela remembered that, to some extent, she was also an accomplice.
Angela stared at Charlotte nervously, afraid that Charlotte would say something unfavorable to Suwan.
Will told Charlotte, "The plane she was on has already flown to other cities for rescue missions."
Charlotte nodded in disappointment and didn't ask any more questions. Angela also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Charlotte still had some brains. But Charlotte couldn't hold on for even a minute, and couldn't help asking Will again: "Which city did she go to?"
Angela became nervous as soon as Charlotte started talking.
Angela just didn't understand why Charlotte couldn't just shut up, go to the safe city, and go to her laboratory?
It hadn't been a minute since the last question, and Will of course knew who Charlotte was asking about, so he said the name of the city. Charlotte listened, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked very worried: "The closest city to Belster at that time!"
That's true. That city is the closest to Belster, and Charlotte used to live there, but now that city is no different from other cities occupied by zombies.
But Charlotte was very worried: "Then we have to hurry. These zombies have already started to mutate. I'm not sure if it's possible that the closer we are to Belster, the more serious the mutation will be."
"Mutation!?" Will and the students' faces changed.
"Didn't you notice?" Charlotte frowned and said, "These zombies didn't stay where they were. They gathered together and migrated around to find food. They wouldn't have been like this at the beginning. This is evolution."
This is indeed the case, but no one noticed it. The students and instructors all thought that zombies were like that.
Charlotte clutched the piece of letter tightly across her pocket.
The antidote must be developed as soon as possible, otherwise Suwan's "suicide note" will really become a suicide note.
Zoe was lying on the wide bed, holding the light machine gun that Suwan did not take away. She stared blankly at the wall above her head. She was no longer crying, but her eyes were sore.
Alas, love is such a torment. It would be great if Zoe fell in love with an ordinary guard, so she wouldn't have to worry about Suwan like this.
Zoe lay in bed for a while, and suddenly heard the roar of an airplane again. She was not mistaken, so she quickly jumped up and ran to the window to look out, and saw that it was a rescue team's plane flying back.
Zoe was a little surprised. Although she didn't understand why the plane came back, her first reaction was to go downstairs. She held on to hope that maybe Suwan was among those who came back?
But Zoe was disappointed. The plane stopped in an open space not far in front of the hotel. The trainees on the plane jumped off one by one, but the person Zoe wanted to see was not there.
Zoe saw Angela among the people getting off the plane, and she quickly ran to Angela and asked, "Where's Avi? Has she come back?"
Suwan went to the central town to face the zombies that might mutate, but Angela came back safely. This made Angela feel a little guilty and she avoided Zoe's gaze. Zoe knew that Suwan did not come back, and she was disappointed. Then, Zoe heard someone calling her name.
Charlotte recognized Zoe immediately, but Zoe recognized her hesitantly.
After all, Charlotte has changed a lot. Her beautiful blonde hair was cut off and she looks very haggard.
"You're still alive?" Zoe was surprised. She thought Charlotte died in the chaos.
Zoe was also confused. If Charlotte had been alive all this time, why hadn't she been with them all the time and only appeared here now?
Angela looked at Zoe, then at Charlotte, and suddenly had a headache. Charlotte had just asked Suwan with such concern. Did she have any thoughts about Suwan that she shouldn't have? Then Charlotte and Zoe were rivals in love? How should she stand? Although Suwan liked Zoe very much, Zoe's hobbies were really special. As for Charlotte, Angela just wanted to strangle her to death.
It's really difficult.
The plane Suwan was on was getting farther and farther away from Cole City and closer and closer to the central town.
On a plane flying in the sky, Suwan sat next to the open cabin door, observing the ground with a telescope.
"Good news," Suwan said. "This is a ghost town."
Everyone on the plane looked much more relaxed.
