Chapter 7 7. Cutting weeds without eradicating the roots will bring new growth when the spring breeze blows

But the middle-aged man ignored it at all and continued to talk to the other end of the phone: "I don't care what methods you use, you must get the goods! This is a rare source of goods!"

"Dong dong dong." The knock on the door continued.

"Get out! Didn't you see that I was busy?" The man turned his head and yelled towards the door, feeling very bad.

The knocking on the door disappeared and seemed to have stopped, so the man turned back and continued talking on the phone.

But the next moment, the door was pushed open directly.

It is estimated that no one would dare to break into his office so boldly. The man was interrupted many times and was very angry.

But when he saw the person standing at the door, he suddenly froze.

He has long black hair, jet-black eyes, fair skin, and exquisite facial features. There are no traces of animal transformation on his body, at least he is a Class A gene carrier.

This kind of appearance can be regarded as a very outstanding appearance, and the most important thing is that he looks very young.

The middle-aged man immediately realized that the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him would undoubtedly bring him huge profits! She must be captured alive!

"Are you the boss here?" Charlotte had already spoken first.

The short boots made a slight sound when they stepped on the ground.

She walked towards him slowly, her voice was not loud, but her words were clear: "Remember, abide by the laws and be a good person."

After a short time, the subordinates who were lying on the ground outside groaning in pain could only hear the sound of tables and chairs colliding, objects being smashed, and the roar of their boss coming from inside.

But soon, the office became quiet, and the original roars turned into painful groans.

After a while, there was no sound inside. If it weren't for the crocodile horn scales on the other person's neck and the slight undulation, I might have thought he was a dead person.

………………

Walking out of the building, the night wind blew Charlotte's long hair, and her eyes were a little cold and devoid of warmth.

Alpha's mechanical voice sounded again: "Master, you just said you wouldn't deal with them."

Charlotte silently took off the disposable gloves on her hands and threw them into the trash can on the main road.

"If you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows." She said in a calm tone.

alpha:"……"

It was already very late, and there was not much traffic in the area nearby, so it was not easy to stop a car in the early morning.

After walking for a long time, Charlotte stopped a rental car and got in the car all the way back to her residence.

Washing and sleeping, she did a series of things in an orderly manner. It had been like this for the past year, repeated over and over again, dull and boring.

Not surprisingly, that night, she had another nightmare.

Despair with nowhere to escape, hunger and thirst every day, and fewer and fewer survivors day by day.

Because there are so few people, language is almost losing its function. Sometimes, people can't speak a word for several days in a row.

No survivor base can survive forever, and Charlotte doesn't like to pin her hopes on others.

Not long after the apocalypse came, she understood deep in her bones that only when she was strong could she have the right to live. Otherwise, in the apocalypse, human life would really be like a piece of grass.

Charlotte has changed several survivor bases. She doesn't like to stay in one place for a long time. That is actually a very stupid thing to do.

Facts have proved that she is right, because after staying in the survivor base for a long time, many people have become inert. Once they encounter a large tide of corpses, it is like catching a turtle in a jar.

She is very strong, so she can survive wherever she goes. Any survivor base welcomes such a strong person, but she does not rely on anyone or any force.

But she became strong too late, and everything was based on the pain of loss.

In the dream, her hands were covered with blood, and the blood on her face made her eyes look so cold and lifeless...

Sunlight streamed in through the thick curtains, and as time went by, the originally dark interior became brighter and brighter.

The person on the bed still slept uneasily, breathing rapidly, sweating profusely, and his brows never relaxed.

This is not the first time Alpha has seen his master have nightmares. Over the past year, his master has rarely slept soundly, and nightmares are common.

It was activated during that explosion due to a fateful encounter. As for what happened to its master on Earth before, it didn't know much about it, but according to its observations, it definitely wasn't a good encounter.

The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, gasped and sat up.

Charlotte calmed down for a moment as usual. He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. He went to bed late last night and it had some effects today.

This reminded her of her time on Earth, when she was on the run every day, sleeping was a luxury, and she never dared to close her eyes with peace of mind. She got through it that way.

Now that we have arrived in the interstellar age, life has become more comfortable, but I can’t stay up late.

After getting out of bed, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Charlotte looked at the ruby ​​earring on her left ear and fell into deep thought.

Alpha's mechanical voice sounded: "Master, Alpha thinks you may need to relieve some pressure."

Charlotte came back to her senses and said coldly: "I'm not sick."

Alpha continued: "That's not what I meant. Since absorbing the energy stone, the master's body has been continuously strengthening. Maybe excess energy is also a problem. Master, you need to vent appropriately."

Alpha's program does not allow it to lie, and what it tells is indeed the truth. The owner sleeps restlessly every night, and sometimes even sleeps for very little time.

If it had been anyone else, he would have died suddenly long ago. That is, the owner, by chance, absorbed that extremely precious energy stone, so he could withstand this level of fatigue.

Then again, to be able to make an owner with such a strong willpower have nightmares every night, the previous owner may have endured unimaginable pressure.

Charlotte looked at the ruby ​​earring on her left ear and said calmly: "Vent | Vent? Forget it, I don't do stupid things, nor do I do bad things."

Alpha: "...Master, did you misunderstand something?"

Alpha launched the search function and automatically conducted related searches on the Star Network.

Charlotte ignored it and walked directly to the dining table to prepare for breakfast.

After experiencing the apocalypse, she cherished food and meal time. Even if it was just bread and milk, she chewed it slowly, as if she was savoring some delicacy.

She was not like this before. Before the end of the world, she lived a life without worries about food and clothing. Although she was not as extravagant and extravagant as other children from rich families, she still had some small wastes. Later, every time she was hungry, she would

I can't help but think about it, wishing I could find those leftovers again so I wouldn't go crazy with hunger.

Because food is so rare in the apocalypse, she began to develop the habit of chewing slowly and letting the food stay in her mouth for a while, as if this could invisibly increase her feeling of fullness.

Although this is an interstellar age with abundant resources, Charlotte is also used to CDs and saving food. As long as the food does not spoil, even if it tastes bad, she will patiently finish it.

While she was having breakfast, Alpha's mechanical voice sounded again: "Master, there are many ways to reduce stress on the Star Network. I think you may have misunderstood. Alpha does not want you to stand on a tall building and howl like a ghost, nor does it want you to

Asking you to do something illegal."
