Chapter 157: The Way of Evolution
When he came out of the bathroom and saw the clean water and bread Monnie had prepared for him on the table, he felt as if he had been reborn.
The farce of the tavern was resolved within five seconds of the appearance of zero, who simply threw the bald man to the ground with one hand and pointed the muzzle of the M500 at his temple, lowering the man’s high alcohol content. During the turbulent times, whether it was the power that Zero displayed that did not match his slim body, or his firearms that could kill the Savage Bear, they were all symbols of power.
Ordinary people wouldn’t be stupid enough to mess with these zeros, so after they knocked over the big man, the path to the tavern’s entrance was quickly cleared out. Zero picked up Natasha and led her to the hotel where they were staying.
The name of the hotel was No Return, a very unlucky name with a touch of irony. As a result, the hotel’s business was as ordinary as water. The third floor was high, and the only hotel that could provide fifteen rooms was reserved for the three of them. And Monnie had chosen this place because it was cheap. As for Zero, he didn’t even notice the name of the hotel.
And even if he noticed, Zero wouldn’t care.
When he arrived at Monnie’s room, he saw Lara. Lara was lying on the windowsill looking listless. However, when he saw Zero, his eyes lit up and he pounced on Zero with a happy cry. It flapped its fat wings and landed on Zero’s head. It then scratched at Zero’s hair with its little claws, as if scolding him for taking so long to return.
After taking it from his head, Zero told Monnie about its experience after falling into the crevice. It told Monnie about the unknown civilization’s information. It wasn’t that he couldn’t trust Monnie, but since Monnie didn’t have the ability to protect herself, the less she knew, the safer it would be for her.
Looking at Atasha, who occasionally burped on the bed, Zero frowned and said, “When did she learn to drink?”
Monnie covered her mouth and chuckled. “You can’t tell, I didn’t think that sister Atasha had the potential to become an alcoholic.”
