He'd guessed that much, but there was one thing he hadn't expected:
The woman who should have been affected by the serum had actually awakened her Seven-Star abilities again—and in an angel form, no less?
"That angel form..."
Fang Yun answered Karls's question, voicing her own confusion as well.
"It must be the latest evolution of her body. Actually, I'm curious about that too. How did she manage to return to Seven-Star after her abilities were crippled and her glands damaged, and still evolve to Seven-Star in a world full of serum...?"
Karls fell silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Now that we know where she is, this will be easy to handle... She's here with you, isn't she? Hand her over. You know Christianity would never allow an angel to roam free."
Fang Yun could only smile wryly at Karls's words.
"I sent her to help restart the nuclear power plant. By now... judging by the time, she should have reached it, right?"
"The California nuclear power plant?"
Karls fell silent for a long moment, tapping his fingers on the table as he confirmed it.
"Yes..."
Fang Yun nodded. She didn't dare hide anything from Karls. That was the misery of being weak in the apocalypse.
"Good. Thank you for your cooperation. The supplies you provided will be repaid twofold in a month."
"Thank you."
"No need."
Karls spoke coolly, then picked up his chopsticks. They'd been on the road for three days, after all. He might as well eat his fill before setting out again.
The two of them ate in silence. Fang Yun tried to liven up the mood, but Karls was simply a taciturn, rigid man. He said nothing from the beginning to the end of the meal, only continuing to eat.
