last night dawn gl

The door was forced open, and the two wooden photo frames hanging on the wall of the entrance shook and fell down with a bang.

Everyone entered the room one by one, and the room was suffocatingly dark.

Two soldiers stayed outside with the survivors while the rest came in.The infrared spotlights of the Union Army's helmet swayed everywhere, and military boots stepped on the photo frame on the ground. Wei An looked down and saw a photo of a family of three... Walking into the living room, the crying of the child stopped, replaced by a rustling The rustling sound seemed to be crawling and hiding on the ground.

The living room was in a state of horror, with broken plates and glass bottles all over the floor. There were obvious bullet marks from the fabric sofa to all the furniture in the living room. It was obvious that a violent shooting had taken place.Wei An ordered people to search the living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, and sure enough, two infected people whose heads had been shot were found in the kitchen.

The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, Wei An frowned, and she soon discovered that there was a very concealed mahogany door at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor.She walked over and turned the turnstile lock. It was locked from the inside. The survivors must be hiding inside, right?

Wei An signaled a soldier to go over and unlock the lock, and his movements were as gentle as possible so as not to disturb the people inside.The mahogany door opened with a creak, and Wei An walked in with a gun. The small dark room was filled with a lot of waste cardboard boxes, as well as dusty baby carriages, cots and toys.What an ordinary family this was, like thousands of others.

At the end of the utility room, the weak cry of a child was heard again... The light quickly captured the frail silhouette. It was a five or six-year-old brown-haired girl, curled up with her legs hugged In a ball, like a frightened little animal, she hugged herself tighter when she heard the footsteps, crying until she almost convulsed:

"Mommy mommy……"

With strong pity in Wei'an's heart, she put down her gun and walked over, only to find that the girl was guarding a movable floor tile.

"Don't be afraid, you are safe now." She was always at a loss when facing children, her tone was blunt but gentle.The little girl raised her head in response, her pale, snowy face was covered with embarrassing tears, she had a pair of emerald green eyes, delicate but deep, which was too distressing in this scene.

At this moment, an inhuman roar suddenly came from under the floor tiles!The little girl screamed again in fright, Wei An hugged her away and sent her to another soldier's arms.She held the submachine gun in one hand, and lifted the floor tiles with the other, revealing a narrow and dark staircase.

"Take care of the child!" Wei An ordered in a low voice, and jumped down the steps holding the gun.

The basement below the steps was once again a bottomless darkness.The drainage here was blocked at some point, and the bloody stagnant water covered Wei'an's ankles.She took a deep breath, followed the heart-piercing roar and walked forward, little by little...

When the infected person heard the movement, her voice slowly changed, not like a bloodthirsty and hungry roar, but a hoarse and desperate cry.

Wei An quickly found her.

An adult female Infected, wearing a black police uniform, her curly brown hair was wetly pasted on her distorted face.Her right hand was handcuffed, and the other handcuff was placed on the leg of a three-tiered chest of drawers.The woman's legs were also tied with thick ropes, and her whole body was struggling due to the outbreak of the virus. Wei An stepped forward to take a look, and found that the woman had a wooden stick in her mouth, and the outside of the wooden stick was covered with layers of stains. Blood strips...

The purpose of tying her up like this is obviously... to prevent her from standing up and attacking others.Wei An's eyes were fixed, and she inspected the entire basement, but found no other survivors or infected people, only this woman.

Wei An switched hands. Holding the gun, she walked up to her vigilantly, pointed the muzzle between the woman's eyebrows, and pulled the trigger with her fingertips.

The woman shook her head and let out a low growl uncontrollably. Her pupils were dilated and she struggled hard.Following her chaotic eyes, Wei An found a small silver reflective object in the stagnant water in the basement.

The woman's eyes had been staring at a certain place vaguely, and Wei'an stepped over the stagnant water, and she found that the woman's green eyes were almost exactly the same as the little girl upstairs.The look in her eyes hovering between dementia and despair, as if she still has a sliver of sobriety...

Wei An stretched out her hand, quickly picked up the object floating in the stagnant water, and glanced down, it turned out to be a very ordinary sterling silver heart-shaped pendant.The pendant is engraved with a name called "Sophia" and a small string of year dates, which seems to be a birthday commemoration.

Wei An suddenly understood that everything in front of her was done by this woman.She is the mistress of the house, a policewoman, a mother.There is a young daughter named Sophia. After she was bitten by an infected person, she knew that her time was running out, so she locked herself in the basement, sealed her mouth with wooden strips, tied her legs, and finally tied her hands. Fix it with handcuffs... In this way, when she mutates, she will not hurt Sophia, and her daughter may be able to wait for rescue and gain a chance.

When the woman saw Wei'an picking up the pendant, a trace of relief flashed through her bloodshot pupils, as if she had finally conveyed the last thing.Wei'an clutched the pendant in her palm, she couldn't imagine how much perseverance the woman used to support it until now.

"Don't worry," Wei'an said in a low voice without moving the gun, "I will take care of Sophia."

The woman's whole body trembled convulsively, and the last tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

The gunshots rang out—

It's night.The shower head opened suddenly, and the water splashed on Wei'an's face. She stood in the shower room with her head up, letting the long-lost hot water wash away the sticky sweat and bloody smell...

After entering the house today and saving the five-year-old Sophia in the utility room, Wei An led the team to continue searching other corners of the house.They found two more infected people who died of headshots on the second floor. The corridors and rooms on the second floor were full of bullet marks, which should have been shot by Sophia's mother.When they walked to the bathroom on the second floor, they found that the door of the bathroom was locked with a key, and there were faint crying sounds in the door.

The soldiers broke in, and everyone was surprised to find a blood-stained baby lying on the gray-white floor tiles of the bathroom.The baby seemed to be only five or six months old. He was still breathing, and his eyes had a cloudy and strange light. After hearing the sound, the baby began to struggle to crawl, with whimpering cries from his mouth.The cry was very abnormal, much lower than that of a normal baby.

"Sir, this child is infected." A soldier said to Wei'an, with the gun pointed at the back of the baby's head.

At this moment, a five-year-old girl jumped out from behind the female officer. She looked up at Wei'an, her eyes so gloomy that she didn't look like a child.

"He is my younger brother." The little girl murmured, "Can you not kill him?"

Wei An looked back at her, bent down, and gently stroked the girl's wet bangs, she didn't know how to describe death: "Sophia, your brother is sick, he may... we can only take him to another place. After saying that, she signaled the soldiers behind her to take the little girl away with her eyes.

Sophia quickly calmed down, but she didn't say a word, and obediently followed another soldier downstairs.Before leaving, she turned her head to look at Wei'an, her eyes were indescribably subtle and complicated, it was too cruel for a child who was originally innocent to experience a sudden change and go through the world overnight.

Wei'an ordered the soldiers to take the baby's body to the basement and put it next to his mother.After taking care of everything in this house, Wei An was going to lead the team to move on, but suddenly received a weak signal from the headquarters, ordering her to stay put and stand by.Seeing that it was getting late, they temporarily settled down in this house with the three survivor families, and continued their operations tomorrow morning.

The room on the third floor showed no signs of intrusion by the infected. The bedroom was clean and the bathroom had hot water. Wei An couldn't stand the stickiness on her body, so she simply borrowed their bathroom to take a shower...

After washing, she changed into black military trousers and a clean camouflage T-shirt. As soon as she opened the bathroom door, she saw Sophia standing in the corridor.The little girl stood like a puppet, her green eyes were deep and desolate, and she seemed to be in a bad state of mind.Wei An's heart sank. Children of this age have witnessed the death of their family members, and most of them will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, which will be difficult to erase even after they reach adulthood.

Wei An slowly squatted down, keeping her gaze in line with her, "Sophia." She called out softly, stroking the girl's soft cheek tentatively: "Can't sleep?"

Sophia didn't have any resistance to her touch, and nodded dully, still in a wandering manner: "Sir, I miss my mother."

Wei An felt sore in her heart, took out the string of sterling silver pendants from her military trousers, and stroked them lightly.After the infection broke out, she had seen too many lives and deaths, and years of war had long since numb her heart.But today, for some reason, what happened to this family made her feel an unusually real throbbing, the slightest bit of pain, as if she had experienced it before...

Thinking about it carefully, at Sophia's age, I was implanted with a heart chip and became an experimental product of the super soldier project. I don't know where it came from, and I don't know where it is going.

She suddenly missed Lin Shuqiao crazily, that was her only love in this world.

"Sophia," she called the little girl's name seriously, and slowly hung the pendant on the child's chest, "Your mother loves you very much, and she has always been with you...you have to be brave, okay?"

Sophia raised her hand and touched her name engraved on the pendant, her eyes blushed with half understanding.

"I'll take you out of here tomorrow, I'll take you to..." Wei'an paused, and originally wanted to say take her to the safe zone, but then she thought about her future plan. She, Lin Shuqiao, and all of them will be together soon will escape the safe zone. "In short, I will settle you down, don't worry."

Sophia nodded obediently, and Wei'an's outline was reflected in her tear-smeared eyes. She sniffed and murmured: "Sir, will I be as powerful as you when I grow up?"

Wei An smiled slightly: "Yes, you will be stronger than me." She put her arms around the girl's head and hugged her tightly.

For some reason, she seemed to see her former self through the poor child's eyes.

"Dear friend, I don't know who you are. When you find me one day and keep finding this text, please tell my daughter. I will always love her more than anything else in the world. ——Ji Mingxuan "

Late at night in the intensive care unit, the hidden text in the notebook emerged under the ultraviolet light, and Lin Shuqiao and Jian Xi looked at each other, all of which confirmed their guess that Ji Mingxuan was Wei An's biological mother.

"Now my daughter and I have encountered an unprecedented and complex threat. I have no choice but to leave these words, leaving some symbols and content as clues. Maybe this past will never be known, just like myself, When you found me, I had been turned into dust for many, many years..."

Lin Shuqiao's face turned pale, which meant that Ji Mingxuan was indeed dead.

"This text may not be used as evidence to accuse, and may not be able to send the murderer who killed me to prison, but I still hope that it will be seen again one day, no matter 20 years, 50 years, or 100 years... I hope that future generations will not Repeat my mistakes, don't touch the bottom line of human ethics, don't be used by the devil!"

"My lover Nanshan and I met when we were students at Columbia University. On my 25th birthday, we registered as a same-sex couple under the witness of my mentor. I returned to China with full of joy and returned to the Ji Mansion in Haishi to meet me parents, but they were ruthlessly rejected..."

When reading this, Jian Xi almost dropped her jaw in shock, and Lin Shuqiao also took out a photo of Nanshan when she was young. It turned out that Professor Nanshan was Ji Mingxuan's lover when he was young.

"...After failing to come out of the closet, Nanshan and I decided not to return to China for further development, nor to have any contact with Ji's family. We went to many scientific research institutions, thinking about making achievements in the field of gene editing. In that year, Under the introduction of our mentor, we got to know Colonel James Miller, and learned about the military’s ongoing super soldier project through him... I was dazzled by my own ego, and believed in Miller’s so-called human war trends, I believed in all his visions for the future. We joined the super soldier project without hesitation and became the backbone of the initial scientific research team.”

"We moved from North America to a new scientific research base. It is located in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine. It is quiet and remote, with extremely beautiful natural scenery and natural resources. The locals say that this place is called Rock Town..."

When Jian Xi read this, she suddenly let out a soft cry, with an expression of disbelief:

"Look at the location she described! So that's it. I remember the name of the Ninth Security Area before. It seems to be Locke Town?"
