Chapter 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.
