Chapter 319 – Hello Chrollo!
Shelter’s four AI counselors are beautiful and noble women.
As a large dependent city called Polis was created, and it became a hub for exchange of goods and knowledge on the Korean Peninsula, their existence also became famous.
These four have differences in the images that people accept as well as their personalities and roles.
Artemis is the most powerful and noble, but has surprisingly little recognition.
There is virtually no face-to-face contact with the public.
Only those who are leaders of warlords, merchants, or businessmen with connections to Prime can at least see Artemis’ face.
Rose is a security management AI that controls people inside the shelter.
[It’s curfew soon. External visitors should proceed to designated accommodation.]
Although it boasts the highest level of recognition and authority among those who visit the shelter, it is not well known because it is outside the jurisdiction of the police.
Kiz is probably the number one star on the Korean peninsula in terms of the friendliness that people feel.
[One piece of good news for viewers living in the Gangwon-do region. The plan to lay additional mines in the border area of the ceasefire line has been passed!]
A lively girl’s voice spreads throughout the Korean Peninsula through radio waves.
[It is said that up to 400,000 additional landmines will be buried within this month. Pop! Pop! Boom boom boom! A toast to the limbs of the infectious agents about to explode! We hope that this will be of some help to the comfortable sleep of Gangwon-do survivors.]
Weather news, logistics trends, and even public declarations of military operations are transmitted through her voice.
There was nothing bad about watching the news before the war, and even if you didn’t watch it, it didn’t have a big impact on your life.
However, in today’s world, whether you watch news is directly linked to making money and your life.
Kids can’t be unpopular as they give out valuable information for free every day.
The girl’s unique, mischievous voice also gave the elderly a sense of intimacy.
Lastly, Chrollo.
As a production manager, she is very busy. Because unlike public security, supplies move.
Now that we have gone beyond self-sufficiency and begun to interact with the outside world, an immeasurable variety of materials are being produced and shipped.
She is in charge of things to eat, drink, and wear in the polis, as well as supplies to exchange with warlords and merchants.
“You look busier than Artemis?”
“No way! Not to that extent. I don’t dare compare myself to her.”
There is a beautiful girl in the seat next to me smiling and waving her hand.
The combination of white skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair is a traditional beauty created by gathering only the best of Northern Europe.
Above all, Chrollo knows how to blend into human life.
The freshness of her leaves and the abundance of her crops praised her as she hung out with her farmers at her hydroponic facility.
When she was at the weaving mill, her colorful fabrics surrounded her and took care of her like a flower.
When she blends in with the workers’ wet shirts and the beads of sweat they shed, she looks like the embodiment of labor.
Labor that is inseparable from humans. As he was always present, he received absolute support from those who knew him.
Both inside and outside the shelter.
“Hello!”
A boy running down the sidewalk on rollerblades waved at us, or more specifically, at Chrollo, who was behind the wheel.
She smiles and raises her left hand in response.
We are traveling down Police Boulevard in an open car.
“Good morning Chrollo!”
When the foreign woman jumped up and said hello, Chrollo also smiled brightly.
“Nice to meet you, Chrollo!”
This time, firefighters who were inspecting a public fire hydrant waved their hands.
Chrollo slowed down for a moment and bowed his head, showing a level of respect higher than others.
“It’s so popular.”
“Because we often meet.”
Wearing an elegant suit, shoes, and sunglasses, and always smiling with confidence.
Hold the steering wheel with one hand and wave at people with the other hand.
Her appearance had an aura that went beyond that of a career woman. This is truly a rare sight in today’s world.
Whether it be because of its luxury or the fact that it is purely liked by many people.
“There’s no way people will like it this much just because they see it often.”
“I think as a factory manager and president, I just gave things that were completely natural. Still, people were thrilled.”
“The owner who took things for granted even when the world was normal was precious. “In this shattered world, she must look like a goddess.”
“Uh-huh! Sounds like big trouble! “There is only one goddess.”
Chrollo slipped down his sunglasses and smiled mischievously. Her blue eyes shine dazzlingly.
The vehicle we rode stopped in front of the logistics center.
Chrollo lost the bright smile he used to greet people just a moment ago and turned into a sullen face.
“It’s been a long time since you took the time to care for me, but I’m sorry that I can’t attend you completely. “I couldn’t cancel it because it was already a set schedule.”
She truly felt sorry for me.
“It’s a public matter, so I can’t say anything about it. “It felt like an on-site date, so it was refreshing.”
“I’d be happy if you said that.”
Chrollo, smiling brightly, held my left hand.
After wandering around for a while, we got out of the car.
“I am amazed every time I see this place.”
Goods coming from all over the Korean Peninsula and scheduled to be sent down at the same time are piled up everywhere.
“Huh!”
Chrollo takes a deep breath.
“I really like the smell here.”
“Isn’t it just the stuffiness typical of a warehouse?”
“That’s a good thing. Isn’t this the taste of the workplace? The shelter is perfect, but she is so clean that the smell of people rolling around is faint.”
“You’re similar to me in that you prefer rolling around in the field.”
“Kyaaa!”
Chrollo is very happy.
Even though there were people coming and going around him, he didn’t fall into my arms and smiled gracefully.
And this is exactly the side of her I always knew.
After a while, Chrollo was very dignified as he received a report in front of two highly disciplined work crew leaders.
Even though she was standing still and listening, her confident posture gave off a leadership that could not be ignored.
“If things were to go as planned, shipping should have been completed by now, right? Why is it still piled up like that?”
Where Chrollo’s cheerfully outstretched hand pointed. There are piles of canned cultured meat made by Shelter.
Most of them contained shrimp and fruit. It is a highly efficient product with high popularity compared to the production cost.
“There was an accident last night and several pallets and two forklifts were damaged. Because of that, logistics delays are occurring.”
A middle-aged man wearing a hard hat shouted loudly.
This is because the surrounding area is noisy as there are numerous workers, vehicles, and forklifts moving around.
“Who is injured? “I always told you to report that first, right?”
On the other hand, even though Chrollo spoke softly, for some reason his voice came through clearly in my ears.
“No.”
The middle-aged man answered.
“Uh, there is exactly one person. “One of his teeth fell out, and his face was covered in bruises.”
The young man next to me spoke cautiously.
Chrollo sent a silent glance to the middle-aged man.
“It’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t intentionally omit the report! That guy was called Pil-seung Jeong, and he was driving the forklift, and he was fine right after the accident.”
“The reason I got hurt was because I was beaten up by seniors in the logistics department. Anyway, if this hurts, it hurts.”
A young man added next to the middle-aged man who was protesting as if he was being unfairly treated.
“Ha.”
Chrollo cupped his face as he watched the work crew members make a third-rate joke.
“It’s not always like this.”
“It’s not really your responsibility.”
Ttogak.
Trudging.
As we walked side by side, the people in charge of each department were next to us and reported on the situation.
“What are those liquors piled up over there?”
“This is a material that will go to Prime.”
“It’s oversupply, so take it all out. Put those separately as company dinner supplies.”
“I understand!”
The man nodded, swallowing his saliva.
Ttogak.
Trudging.
“Hey, this isn’t the Chrollo I know?”
“You don’t like it? Does it look too heavy?”
Chrollo shook his head and smiled. As if he knew the answer I would give.
“It’s just cool, but what? If you’re going to manipulate people, you can’t just be like a good older sister.”
I know this very well as someone who served in the military.
“It’s not much different from when I work with residents. “I feel more comfortable when I’m with them, though.”
The inspection at the warehouse did not take long. This is because only a few urgent schedules were checked.
“There are quite a few places to cover today. It feels like we’re driving together… It’s okay, right?”
“Something different is always welcome.”
We got in the car and headed to the factory located in Polis.
Since I only went to safe areas, there were times when I had to go back little by little, but it was all a fun experience for me.
“Hello, Chrollo!”
And wherever she went, someone recognized her and exchanged greetings with her.
Every time that happens, a happy smile stays on her lips.
“I knew you were sociable from the beginning, but do you like people that much?”
“Me?”
Chrollo looked back at me.
If she were a normal driver, this would be a dangerous behavior, but it does not apply to her who has a clear line of sight with her vehicle.
“You keep responding with your best smile. “Isn’t it hard for politicians too?”
“Sure. Of course, it’s fun.”
Chrollo waved his hand as if covering every corner of the city.
“Look. Everything that surrounds us belongs to you, Administrator. Shelter is the most beautiful place in the world, but its size is limited. This polis here is more than a city. Both in scale and as a symbol. “Of course, wouldn’t you be happy to see the things you offer to your manager shine?”
She smiled brightly at me.
“Like you said, I really enjoy it. This city is developing day by day. “It’s like watching a tribute grow on its own.”
“My heart is happy, but…”
Chrollo’s hand gently stroked my thigh.
“You should never say that in front of other people.”
“Hehe, are you just saying it? “I don’t show this kind of affection in front of other people.”
The charismatic CEO from before had disappeared, and a devil-like young woman was next to me.
