[Chapter 1]

The first thing Claire Vido did when she got home was to buckle the door lock behind her with her backhand.There are three layers of insurance.But to be honest, this didn't make her feel more secure, not even a dagger hidden in her long sleeve.

Routine inspection every day.The small living room of the bachelor apartment has only three rooms, even if it can be seen at a glance.He will also explore each room in turn.The sharp dagger in her hand was tightly held, perhaps because of a psychological effect, every time she took two steps, she couldn't help swinging it behind her - every time there was no one.

After 10 minutes, even after checking the refrigerator, she was finally able to force herself to sit on the sofa with a little peace of mind.

But it didn't last for 3 minutes.

The room was too quiet, without a trace of life, which made her feel like a tomb, and she was the corpse locked in it. This terrible imagination made her even more irritable!

But Claire didn't want to turn on the computer or the TV—in fact, the place, since the day she moved in, cut all the Internet and TV cables by herself!

After a while, she finally thought of what she could do.Pulled out two dumbbells from under the sofa, and lifted them silently...

Until she fell asleep, she was constantly exercising, dumbbells, handstands, push-ups, boxing.It wasn't until the whole body seemed to be picked up from the water that she fell into the clothes with heavy steps, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.There is little chance of cranky thinking.

When there was a spot of light shining on her eyelids, she thought that when she opened her eyes, she would dream back to that hellish dark warehouse as before, and she seemed to be able to smell the stench and decay in her nostrils, the only thing in the room... The light comes from a small window in the ceiling.From time to time, flies and moths collided ignorantly.

But it didn't.

Claire silently looked around, where is this?

It was not until a few years later that Claire had to admit that the dream this time was unexpectedly long.When she opened her eyes, she was a member of the family Lithuania remembers named Lecter (Rising) in Fort Letto.

This is not a good era.The flames of World War II finally spread to the Soviet Union, and Lithuania, which was caught in the Soviet Union, would inevitably be as fragile as a flickering candle, being burned by the rolling flames of the war.It's a pity that the Lecter couple didn't realize this clearly, so they tried every means to escape from the Soviet Union here, trying to avoid the spread of the war.

Claire pursed her lips silently, it was a rare life to start again, but she couldn't let herself relax for a moment, and this kind of tense nerves all the time made her unable to devote deep affection to the so-called family.

Her fleshy, ball-like body was slowly moving forward among the trees, and her nine-year-old brother Hannibal was turning around and beckoning to her: "Misha, come quickly!" The smile on his face was sweet and charming. (Hannibal's sister's name is Misha)

Claire followed behind him without saying a word, ignoring the disappointment shown by the young man because of her indifference.

This is the 1944 year.

Claire recalled the history of the world that she didn't remember very deeply in her heart, trying to recall the major turning point of Nazi Germany in this year.Unfortunately, as an American, she only remembers the successful landing in Normandy, France, by the US-British coalition forces in June 1944, and then, on May 5 of the following year, Germany and Europe announced their unconditional surrender.

Then Germany at this time is about to be defeated.

Hannibal was oblivious to his sister's troubles. Seeing that Claire was walking too slowly, he turned around and circled around her, anxiously but patiently coaxing in a soft voice: "Misha, let's go faster, okay? I can't see my dad!"

She nodded, and quickened her pace.In the distance, a tall middle-aged man is holding up a telescope and looking forward.Hearing footsteps, he immediately turned his head: "Too slow, Hannibal!"

As he spoke, he rubbed Hannibal's hair, pulled Claire who was holding him by his hand, and hugged her around his neck.A rare smile appeared on his slightly sad face.

Claire patted his head: "Huh?" The man's unspoken words were covered by her daughter. She stretched out her small hand and pointed to the distance. Looking along, she saw a gray rabbit standing under a tree more than ten meters away. He froze in place, poking his head a little timidly.

Mr. Lecter immediately lifted his spirits. He patted Claire. Without further words, the girl bent down smartly and hugged his neck without making a sound, while Hannibal looked at him with some concern. Claire, obviously afraid that her father would make too much movement and drop her sister to the ground.

He pursed his lips patiently, and just as he was struggling, Mr. Lecter had already shot the crossbow in his hand, and the sharp arrow was also thrust into Gray Rabbit's neck in an instant!

Mr. Lecter laughed twice, picked up the rabbit in his hand with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "In the past, there would be more animals in this forest! It's all about this war..." His smile stopped: " war of the Damned!"

This topic obviously made him unhappy. In order to change the subject, Mr. Lecter raised the rabbit in his hand in front of Hannibal: "Are you happy, I will give you another meal today!"

The dead rabbit's eyes were wide open, and there was a sharp arrow stuck in its neck. There was a smell of blood on the gray fur, and the staring stare at Hannibal made the boy look away uncomfortably. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw himself His younger sister seemed to be looking down at him, which made Hannibal cheer up quickly, and his voice was loud: "Yes, Dad! I'm so happy!"

And Claire?What she looked at was the crossbow in Mr. Lecter's hand.

By the time they got home, it was already afternoon.

Claire, or Misha's 6-year-old body is too immature after all. Even though Claire consciously exercises, trots, and increases strength every day, she is still weak.Therefore, she had to curl up on the sofa a little bit tiredly, trying to fight against the sleepiness of her body.Mrs. Lecter stroked her soft hair, and handed the porridge to Hannibal.

The little boy was full of smiles, and took over the task of feeding with satisfaction.However, Claire was not cooperative as always: "I'll do it myself." She turned her head away, and then took the bowl from Hannibal's hand.

The radio broadcast is pushing the latest news of the war. It turns out that the German army is withdrawing from Leningrad and has begun a large-scale retreat.The information of his defeat is becoming more and more obvious, and the dawn of victory is beckoning to people!

All the adults in the room showed gratified smiles. Even now, the sound of artillery fire can still be heard every day. After all, the cities at war are too close, but it is still exciting to hear that the German army is defeated!Especially Leningrad is the second largest city in the Soviet Union, the largest alley!

However, when everyone was laughing and celebrating, no one noticed that the young Misha silently lowered her face.Leningrad is located in the northwestern part of Russia, that is, Kaliningrad Oblast.God, look what she missed!Kaliningrad Oblast is also called Königsberg!Because the English translation is a transliteration, she didn't notice this earlier!

The famous Battle of Konigsberg took place from April 1945th to April 4th, 6!In the famous Soviet-German battle, the Soviet army not only had 4 million people, far surpassing the German army in terms of soldiers, but also possessed many weapons and equipment!Not only did they receive the close cooperation of nearly one million guerrilla fighters in the enemy-occupied areas, but they also received assistance from the United States and Britain, which created strong conditions for the strategic counteroffensive in 9!

However, however!During the Battle of Gönigsberg, the German army temporarily withdrew from Gönigsberg (that is, Leningrad), but they did not receive the order to surrender, and they still waited for the command of the Marshal sincerely like a mad dog at the foot of Hitt Le. Bite the enemy's throat!

And Lithuania, located southwest of Königsberg, is undoubtedly the only direction for the German army to retreat and rest!After all, Lithuania is a small country that became independent from the Soviet Union in 1991!It does not have a strong military force, nor does it have a strong backing!The entire country is only 53 square kilometers, and the population is even smaller, with no more than 300 million people at all times...

If the Nazis invaded Lithuania, would they, or she, have any ability to resist...?

Even if it is only one year, they can usher in the victory of the war, but do they really have a chance to live beyond one year.

Claire silently looked at the Lecter couple on the opposite side.They hugged each other, their eyes reflected each other's figure, and kissed each other tenderly.Claire thought she would feel sympathy or heartache, but she didn't.After all, she just watched silently for a while like a bystander, then buried her head in disinterest and ate the meat porridge in front of her.

If he died, he might wake up from this dream.

And this night, it is destined to not sleep well.

Sure enough, until the next morning, the content of the broadcast changed to reminders and warnings.The German army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the arrival of winter made their retreat even more embarrassing.Hunger and cold surrounded them, making these Nazi dogs once again show their vicious faces to the cities and residents along the way.

The broadcast warned civilians not to go out, close doors and windows, and prepare a few more self-defense weapons at home!Women and children stay in the room. When the Nazis come, don't easily clash with them. It would be great if you can send them away with food.

And as expected.Half a month later, the flames of war once again spread to Lithuania!

Claire was awakened by the bang of the cannon!The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air permeated the nostrils, and she was held in the arms of Mr. Lecter, who anxiously pressed his children on the carriage, and there were randomly packed luggage on the carriage.Because of the rush of time, many things were not taken away in time.

But there was no time to regret anymore. Mr. Lecter hurried on the carriage, and there was a deafening and terrible sound behind him. He muttered to himself, and he didn't know who he was talking to: "I got the news that the colonel said that the big battle will be fought." Near the main road, but it will be over in a few days! We'll stay in our cabin deep in the woods, and everything will be very safe."

He showed a slightly pale smile to his family: "Everything will be very safe."
