Scarlet Dawn [Apocalypse]

Lucky uttered a threatening low whine at the crack of the door, his fluff all over his body exploded, but his body trembled.It's an animal's keen sense of potential danger, something in it that it fears.

Bai Yi covered Lucky's mouth quickly with his eyes and hands. There was silence all around. The groaning was somewhat covered by the glove, but it was still very clear—I didn't expect such an unexpected situation before me, or I wouldn't have received training. The pet dog comes over.

In silence, the two looked at each other without communicating.Silverson opened the lightsaber, Bai Yi drew out the dagger, and the two stood on both sides of the gate, one left and one right, with a blue-white cold light shining through a gap that was concealed, and the situation inside could not be seen at all from this angle .

The major general stopped to listen, and the powerful five senses of the blood race spread out. After a while, he raised his hand and made a gesture of preparation, then pressed the door panel with his bare hands and pushed it lightly.

The wooden door opened with a rotten sound, and Silvison went in first, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the situation in front of him—the entire first floor was converted into a modern laboratory, all the windows connecting with the outside world were sealed, and several machines were still running , The dust-proof measures here are very good, and it is impossible to see how long no one has been here.

Seeing that there was no problem on the first floor, Silvison said without looking back, "Come in, Bye."

Bai Yi stood at the position where he took a step back and looked around, with a complicated look on his face, and said sarcastically, "The change is so big, I can hardly recognize it." Lucky in his arms trembled into a ball, and kept making small and weak noises. Yelling, Bai Yi symbolically appeased him, seeing that it was useless, he simply ignored it.

Silverson said: "Check this floor first, and then go up after making sure there is no problem. Don't be too far away from me."

Bai Yi hummed and walked to the right.

All furniture has been removed, and various monitoring instruments are placed against the walls. There is a huge main controller in the center of the room. Intricate optical cables and wires are entangled in the instruments, extending along the stairs to the second floor.

Bai Yi approached a lighted instrument. Various physiological indicators were displayed on the light screen. A rectangular bar representing the heartbeat fluctuated in length and length. There were blood pressure, blood oxygen and other related data on the top and bottom of it, and all the numbers were within a certain range. Internal fluctuations.

"Hill, come here."

"Have you found something?" Silverson walked over, stared at the light screen for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This is a sign monitor, which can reflect various physical indicators of the patient in real time, which means—"

"There is someone in the house." Bai Yi completed the rest of the sentence for him.

Who would that man leave at home?And a person who needs these instruments...

Silvison nodded, still focusing on those jumping numbers, took a breath, and said: "It should not be human, these—" he pointed to several sub-items one by one, "much stronger than human signs , but the heart beats very slowly."

A weird feeling continued to spread in his heart. Bai Yi took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't calm down. He looked at the lines leading up to the second floor again, and said in a trembling voice, "Let's... go up and have a look. .”

Silvison originally wanted to say, 'You wait for me here', but after hesitating for a moment, he changed his mind and said, "Let's go."

The size of this villa is not too big. The second floor of the jump has only rooms and no living room. The two avoid the tangled optical cables and walk up the stairs.

"My bedroom is in the corridor on the right, and the two adjacent ones are guest rooms," Bai Yi said in a low voice, "My parents' bedroom is on the left, and the study is on the opposite door. We just need to follow these lines..."

Before he could finish speaking, Silvison was already walking towards the corridor on the left.

In fact, no matter how subtle the observation is, no matter how vigilant he is, the current Bai Yi is just an ordinary human being, so he can't feel more details like Silverson, such as the faint smell of corruption in the air, which can be ignored. The smell is coming from Bai Yi's parents' bedroom, which is also where the optical cable leads.

There were no complicated instruments on the second floor, and no special modifications were made. The two of them approached the door one after the other. There was no biometric identification system, and there was just an ordinary solid wooden door in front of them.

Silvison gripped the doorknob, exerted a little force, and with a click, the door was opened.

A hoarse whimper sounded in the darkness, like sandpaper polishing a metal surface, and the putrid smell became stronger.

The bedroom retains the appearance of an ordinary residence. The cold light emitted by the instrument light screen is the only light source in the room, illuminating a curled up humanoid creature on the bed. Silverson pauses, staring at the obviously failed creature. Experimental subject——

Her body was emaciated, her waxy ginger skin was covered with a layer of slippery mucus, her entire back stretched and bent into an exaggerated arch, with two shriveled wings trailing behind her, her limbs were so thin that only bones remained.

Noticing someone coming in, the experimental subject turned her head with difficulty, her black eyes without whites lit up, as if she saw something exciting, her mouth opened and closed, trying to make the whimpering sound she heard earlier.

Those optical cables and wires were densely inserted into the opponent's body, and the nutrient-carrying catheter continuously transported a slurry-like mixture into the monster's body to maintain its basic physiological needs.

"She's not aggressive," Silvison put down his lightsaber, his voice revealing an imperceptible forbearance and compassion, "It seems that she's the only one here."

Bai Yi didn't make a sound, and after putting down the chow chow dog, he walked past him.

Silvison looked at him in surprise, then looked at the monster on the bed, and suddenly thought of something.

The experimental subject saw the approaching person struggling to raise her head, with cloudy tears rolling in her eyes, her face was no longer recognizable, and there were a few strands of sparse long hair growing on her skull.

"Little...Yi...is that you?"

The dagger dropped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clang. Bai Yi knelt down on one knee beside the bed, trembling his fingertips, wanting to touch her deformed cheek.The experimental subject hid back in panic, making a snorting, nasal sound, "Infected, don't-touch!"

Silvison silently watched his trembling back, frowned slightly, and after a while, said: "She is..."

His voice was very soft, as if he didn't want to disturb something fragile.

Bai Yi turned a deaf ear to her, looked into her eyes, and asked dumbly, "Dad did this? He made you like this?"

The experimental subject nodded weakly.

"How long?"

"Four..." She curled her thumb and lifted the dead branch-like hand bone as hard as she could.

"400 years..." The phrase representing time was crushed between his teeth, Bai Yi closed his eyes restrainedly, his left hand resting on his knee was clenched into a fist, and the knuckles were pinched.

Silvison walked over slowly, put his palm on Bai Yi's shoulder, shook it lightly, then looked at his experimental subject on the bed, and nodded in a gentlemanly manner.

"She is my mother."

Bai Yi introduced, opened his eyes again, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know what to do, I can't keep her, but the alliance... can't bring her back to the hive, Hill, what the hell should I do?" should……"

"Bye——" Silverson clasped Bai Yi's shoulders, forcing him to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "She has been in pain for 400 years, and you shouldn't let this time continue."

Bai Yi was stunned and remained silent for a few seconds. As if he just met Silvison today, he suddenly pushed him away and shouted, "What are you kidding? That lunatic experimented on her, and you still want her to Die at the hands of my own son? Do you want to be so cold-blooded? No! I can't do it!"

"Then I'll come." Silvison said flatly, "Bye, you go out first."

Bai Yi took a step back in disbelief, subconsciously glanced at the dagger at his feet from the corner of his eye.Silverson caught this detail, his face changed slightly, but he calmed down and said: "Bye, be obedient."

The old memories of 400 years ago are running wildly in his mind, from death to rebirth, to revealing the truth step by step, Bai Yi's mind is full of his father's face that always smiles, and when he refers to his mother with "that woman" The cold tone used as a pronoun.

"If my guess is correct, she should be a failed product of the first-level variant of the D virus," Silveson said, "Bye, you should think about it carefully. She is not old or dead, but she can only maintain the current state. If so You still insist on keeping her, and I will arrange a place to house your mother outside the hive."

Bai Yi had a headache and pressed his forehead, the more he forced himself to calm down, the more confused his mind became.

At this time, something touched his leg lightly, Bai Yi looked down, and met her mother's eyes full of tears, she moved her lips, and said a few syllables awkwardly, "Listen... ..."

Bai Yi looked at her with complicated expressions, and called out weakly, "Mom—"

The experimental subject shook his head, his mouth eroded and alienated by the virus opened an arc, and said intermittently: "Mom...the most...regret...in this life...was participating in the...gene...project."

"Now... the punishment is enough..., Mom... I'm tired..."

Trembling with the final sound, she grabbed Bai Yi's trousers and tugged hard.

Bai Yi bent down to pick up the dagger. Seeing his action, the subject showed a satisfied expression on his face.

"Kill—" she let go of her hand, took one last look at Bai Yi, and closed her eyes in relief.

The alloy sharp blade reflected the cold light of the light screen and shone brightly on the wall. Bai Yi raised his arm, the dagger was hanging in the air in his hand, and the heart in his chest contracted suddenly.

In an instant, a hand covered his eyes, and the hand holding the dagger was seized.Sylvison held Bai Yi in his arms, and controlled Bai Yi's hand with his hand, carefully feeling every ounce of his trembling.In the next second, the dagger stabbed down, piercing straight into the subject's skull.The room was beeping, and all the data showing physical signs changed drastically, but after a long time it returned to zero, and everything became quiet again.

"It's over." Silvison whispered into Bai Yi's ear.

Bai Yi panted repressedly, and responded with a single sound from his nasal cavity.

The eyelashes swept across the palm, causing a hint of itching, and then the warm liquid overflowed and flowed out along the joint.Silvison lowered his eyes in silence, wrapped one arm around Bai Yi's chest, and tightened him to himself.

Outside the window was the darkest moment before dawn, and all the instruments in the villa stopped working with the death of the experimental subject.

His home was finally empty.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Yi sniffed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't date anymore, it's boring."

Silvison was stunned, let go of Bai Yi's blindfolded hand, put it on his waist and hugged him, put his chin in his sunken shoulder, and said softly and considerately: "Well, it's my fault."

◆

At the same time, the Sydney base.

The teenager in hospital gown squatted on the floor and fed a eucalyptus leaf to the koala. The koala, who had been stuffed with leaves all night, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, glanced at him lazily, and turned his head silently.

The good-tempered boy didn't care about it, and continued to poke the koala's nose with a leaf.

The CNC door opened to the side, and a beautiful woman in fiery red leather came in with high heels. She had long legs and a slender waist, and a pair of plump breasts that almost burst the zipper of the leather jacket. , the beauty stopped behind the boy, bowed slightly, and respectfully said: "Pope, just got the news that the detector in Bishop Bai's former residence stopped working, and she died."

"Finally dead—" Throwing down the leaves, Nicholas ignored the koala, stood up and brushed his hands, turned around and looked at his subordinates, with a look of contempt in his silver-gray eyes, and said, "That woman But she gave Cong Xi a surrogate child, and it's really cheap for her to be able to live till now."

His face was paler than a few days ago, and his thin body could barely support the hospital gown.

The woman didn't answer, but showed a charming smile.

Nicholas yawned, dragged his weak body back to the bed and sat down, and asked, "Do you know how she died?"

"Bye went there with the blood major general who killed the masked man last night." The woman replied.

"So it's Silversen..." Nicholas fiddled with a few dry skulls on the bed, and raised the corners of his mouth playfully, "The two best students of that guy are a major general and a colonel, and both Interesting on Earth."

"Jessica, go tell Cong Xi, I invite him to feed the koala together."

Jessica curled her hair with her fingers, blinked her slender eyelashes, and reminded: "Dear Pope, Bishop Bai will prepare another body for you, and if you don't rest, he may be unhappy."

"Then this afternoon." Nicholas changed his words sullenly.

Jessica said: "That koala looks full."

"Change one for another," Nichols waved his hands impatiently, "In short, let Congxi accompany me to feed the koalas in the afternoon, that's the deal, I'm going to bed, you go out first."

"Yes—good night."
